2018考研英語復習正在進行中，***老師的每日一句每年都很受關注，在長難句解析拆分句子的方法也講解得十分到位，新文道考研匯總了***2018考研英語每日一句，下面是***每日一句第116句。

一直以來，神經科學家認為人臉識別(facial recognition)——人類大腦最高級的活動之一——是感性的且高度特異性(highly specific)的，無法輕易被重構和模仿(reconstruct and simulate)。傳統的理論認為，我們日常的每一種意識體驗、思維以及記憶，不管是對于某個親戚朋友，還是其他任何人或者物，都只有特定的神經元與之對應。神經元以一種非常具體而明確的方式存儲記憶的觀點無疑十分浪漫，不乏情懷。然而加州理工大學的兩名科學家最近的研究發現，人臉識別的過程實際上類似于計算機算法(algorithm)。在他們嘗試將面部信息分解成兩組各含25個度量標準(measurement)的數字時，結果發現計算機程序識別及重建的能力和人腦相差無二。

今天的句子：

The puzzle of how the brain identifies a familiar face dates back to the 1960s, when the US neuroscientist, Jerry Lettvin, suggested that people have hyper-specific neurons that respond to specific objects, a notion that became known as "grandmother cells", based on the idea that you have a specific neuron that would fire on seeing your grandmother.

詞匯突破：

1.Puzzle 難題

2.Identify 識別

3.Date back to 回溯

4.Hyper-specific 高度特化

5.Neuron 神經元

6.Notion 概念;觀點

確定主干：

The puzzle of how the brain identifies a familiar face dates back to the 1960s

切分成分+獨立成句：

1.when the US neuroscientist, Jerry Lettvin, suggested that people have hyper-specific neurons that respond to specific objects,

2. a notion that became known as "grandmother cells",

3. based on the idea that you have a specific neuron that would fire on seeing your grandmother.

=This notion is based on the idea that you have a specific neuron that would fire on seeing your grandmother.

參考譯文：大腦如何識別熟悉的長相這個難題可以回溯到20世紀60年代。當時美國的神經科學家杰瑞•萊特文提出，人類應對具體對象擁有高度特化的神經元。這個概念后來被稱為“祖母細胞”，這基于一個觀點：當見到祖母時，你的一個特定神經元會被激活。

明天的句子：

Opening on a scene of social privilege and affluence studded with sharp one-liners, the play takes a dark and controversial turn into a world of extortion, mistrust, deception and assisted dying.
