Artwork is lovely to look at and it has the power to make people feel and think differently. But do you know that when people see a real work of art, compared to just looking at a photo of it, they may experience stronger feelings? Scientists carried out a study at the Mauritshuis, the home of Girl with a Pearl Earring, a very famous painting.
① The scientists watched how people reacted to a few paintings. First, they asked the volunteers to look at the real paintings on show, and then at photos of the artworks in the museum shop. ② It was shown that their reactions were 10 times stronger when they looked at the real paintings.
③ How did that happen? Through study, people may experience something called the “sustained attentional cycle(持续注意力循环)” when they watch a certain painting. The girl’s left eye first drew the volunteers’ attention, then her mouth, and then her pearl earring. This certain order of eye movements repeated in a cycle. Each time they finished the cycle, their focus became stronger and their connection with Girl with a Pearl Earring was deeper.
④ The director of the Mauritshuis, Marine Gosselink, said that the study shows how important it is to go and see art in real life, whether it’s paintings or dancing. She added, “It really helps develop your brain.” The scientists now want to broaden their study, planning to visit other museums and do research on works like the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci.

【分析】
50题需依据句子逻辑衔接判断位置，待还原句子提及对特定画作反应更强，原文②后说明看真画反应强10倍，③处是过渡到原因分析，该句承接上文反应结果，引出下文原因探究，应放在③处；51题根据原文“持续注意力循环，每次循环后注意力更强”，可知随观看时间增加注意力递增，对应递增直线图像；52题需结合语境猜测词义，broaden意为“拓宽”；53题需概括文章主旨，核心是真艺术品比照片带来更强感受，体现其力量。
【解析】
50题：待还原句子“The team also found that the group reacted even more strongly to Girl with a Pearl Earring.”承接前文“看真画反应强10倍”的结果，引出下文对反应原因的分析，故放在③处，选C。
51题：由原文“each time they finished the cycle, their focus became stronger”可知，随观看时间（x）增加，注意力（y）逐渐增强，呈递增趋势，选项A为递增直线，符合该关系，选A。
52题：broaden所在句意为“科学家想拓宽研究，计划去其他博物馆”，widen意为“拓宽”，与broaden词义相近，选D。
53题：文章围绕“真艺术品比照片带来更强感受，体现其力量”展开，A选项“The Power of Real Works of Art”契合主旨，选A。
