The average 20-year-old knows between 27,000 and 52,000 different words. By age 60, that number averages between 35,000 and 56,000. Spoken out loud, most of these words last less than a second. So with every word, the brain has a quick decision to make: which of those thousands of options matches the signal? About 98% of the time, the brain chooses the correct word. But how?
Speech comprehension is different from reading comprehension, but it’s similar to sign language comprehension—though spoken word recognition has been studied more than sign language. The key to our ability to understand speech is the brain’s role as a parallel processor, meaning that it can do multiple different things at the same time.
Most theories assume that each word we know is represented by a separate processing unit that has just one job: to assess the likelihood of incoming speech matching that particular word. In the context of the brain, the processing unit that represents a word is likely a pattern of firing activity across a group of neurons in the brain’s cortex. When we hear the beginning of a word, several thousand such units may become active, because with just the beginning of a word, there are many possible matches. Then, as the word goes on, more and more units register that some vital piece of information is missing and lose activity. Possibly well before the end of the word, just one firing pattern remains active, corresponding to one word. This is called the “recognition point.”

將下面的漢語(yǔ)文段翻譯為英語(yǔ)。請把答案寫(xiě)在答題紙上。
2020年，新冠肺炎疫情在世界各地蔓延。新冠肺炎疫情的爆發(fā)對世界各國的經(jīng)濟和社會(huì )造成了很大的沖擊。縱觀(guān)歷史長(cháng)河，世界經(jīng)歷了多次大型流行病和經(jīng)濟與金融危機。與歷次疫情相比，2020年的新冠肺炎疫情有許多不同之處，而相比經(jīng)濟危機和金融危機，新冠肺炎疫情對經(jīng)濟的沖擊是外生沖擊。疫情之后的全球化和全球價(jià)值鏈將會(huì )呈現新的態(tài)勢和發(fā)展趨勢，但是，全球化和全球價(jià)值鏈的本質(zhì)和核心不會(huì )變。新冠肺炎疫情之后，公共衛生安全等非傳統安全值得高度關(guān)注。我們需要眼光向前，放眼未來(lái)，為后疫情時(shí)代做好準備。
