22 How men first learnt to invent words is unknown: in other words, the origin of language is a mystery All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call wordsThe power of words, then, lies in their associations – the things they bring up before our minds Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increasesGreat writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style Above all, the real poet is a master of words He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar 1 The origin of language is ________________ A a legend handed down from the past B a matter that is hidden or secret C a question difficult to answer D problem not yet solved2 What is true about words __________________ A They are used to express feelings only B They can not be written down C They are simply sounds D They are mysterious3 The real power of words lies in their ______________ A properties B characteristics C peculiarity D representative function4 By “association”, the author means ______________ A a special quality B a joining of ideas in the mind C an appearance which is puzzling D a strange feature5 Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true _____________ A He is no more than a master of words B He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music C He can move men to tears D His style is always charming

taught to exchange things
[C] will not be co-operative if feeling cheated
[D] are unhappy when separated from others
[剖析] 这是一道事实细节题。问题是“Dr Brosnan和Dr De Waal最终在研究中发现了猴子的什么特点”。eventually(最终)这个词提示这道题实际上是问该研究的结论。本文三段和四段论述研究的具体内容,末段总结了研究结论。C“猴子如果感觉被骗就不再合作”对应末段第三句“只有当每只猴子感觉没有被骗时,这类合作才有可能保持稳定”,为正确答案。A选项和B选项都不是研究人员的发现,而是作者在四段陈述的事实。D选项在原文没有明确提到,更不是研究人员的发现。本题难度较小,难度系数为0805(即有805%的考生答对此题)。
25What can we infer from the last paragraph
[A] Monkeys can be trained to develop social emotions
[B] Human indignation evolved from an uncertain source
[C] Animals usually show their feelings openly as humans do
[D] Cooperation among monkeys remains stable only in the wild
[剖析] 这是一道推理题。问题对应末段。针对文章一段提出的猴子也有公平感(sense of fairness)这一点,作者在中间三段以实验加以证明,末段指出这种公平感是进化而来的。末段最后一句指出这种公平感的进化过程尚未确定(an unanswered question)。B“人类的义愤感(indignation)的进化来源不确定”符合此意,为正确答案。注意:B选项中的indignation(义愤感)对应末句中的sense of fairness(公平感),uncertain source对应末句中的unanswered question。A“可以训练猴子培养社会情感”与原文不符,因为原文末段指出猴子的社会情感是进化而来的。C选项在原文没有提到。D“猴子之间的合作只有在野外时才保持稳定”与原文不符,因为末段第三句明确指出猴子之间的合作只有在感觉受到公平对待时才保持稳定。本题难度一般,难度系数为0584。

词汇的理解对考研阅读的意义不言而喻。但个别词不认识并不妨碍理解,有时遇到生词还要学会跳过去。除了其他破解词义的方法外,根据上下文的线索寻找等价或反义结构是一个很有效的方法。所谓等价结构,就是意义相同的结构。而反义结构就是意义相反的结构。对文章中的一个部分不理解时,可以根据这一部分的上下文判断意义。上下文有时和不理解的部分构成同义关系,不理解部分的意义就是上下文的意义。反之,上下文有时和不理解部分构成反义关系,那么,不理解部分的意义就是上下文意义的反面。等价结构包含多种,本文主要介绍并列结构。一般而言,并列结构常表示并列的两部分意义相同。本文讨论的反义结构主要是包含连词如but, while等的结构,它们常表示两部分意义相反。下面以2005年考研阅读的文章为例说明如何根据等价结构或反义结构把握句子意义。
一、等价结构
Text 1(2005)
Everybody loves a fat pay rise Yet pleasure at your own can vanish if you learn that a colleague has been given a bigger one Indeed, if he has a reputation for slacking, you might even be outraged Such behavior is regarded as “all too human”, with the underlying assumption that other animals would not be capable of this finely developed sense of grievance
[分析] 等价结构一:fat 呼应bigger
等价结构二:outraged=grievance(两句之间是递进结构)。
等价结构三:“all too human”=other animals would not be capable of this finely developed sense of grievance(逗号之后为解释)
And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either tossed her own token at the researcher or out of the chamber, or refused to accept the slice of cucumber Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other chamber (without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to induce resentment in a female capuchin
[分析] 等价结构:resentment=Indeed之前句子所表达的意思,因为Indeed表示递进。
Feelings of righteous indignation, it seems, are not the preserve of people alone
[分析] 等价结构:preserve= alone(由not…alone结构可知)。
However, whether such a sense of fairness evolved independently in capuchins and humans, or whether it stems from the common ancestor that the species had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered que

Listen and weep: 'Audiobooks outdo films in emotional engagement'
闻者流泪:有声书比**更能调动你的感情
As Arya Stark watches from the crowd, tears streaming, King Joffrey toys with her father Ned Stark before executing him in front of a baying crowd This scene from Game of Thrones is harrowing in any medium—but a new University College London study has found that audiobooks are more “emotionally engaging” than film and television adaptations
艾莉亚·史塔克站在人群中,泪眼模糊地看着国王乔佛里在鼎沸的人潮前戏弄她的父亲奈德·史塔克,然后处决了后者。《权力的游戏》中这一场景通过任何视听手段呈现都是令人心恸的。但伦敦大学学院的一项新研究发现,相较于**和电视的改编,有声书在让人投入情感上更胜一筹。
UCL, in collaboration with audiobook giant Audible, measured the physical reactions of 102 participants aged between 18 and 67 to audio and video depictions of scenes from books including A Game of Thrones, The Girl on the Train and Great Expectations
伦敦大学学院(UCL)联合有声书巨头 Audible,测量了 102 位年龄从 18 岁到 67 岁的参与者在面对同一书本改编的音频和视频选段时的身体反应。选段出自《权力的游戏》,《火车上的女孩》和《远大前程》等。
According to the study, while the participants reported that the videos were “more engaging” than the audiobooks by about 15% on average, their physiological responses told a different story, with heart rates higher by about two beats a minute, and body temperatures raised by roughly two degrees when listening to audiobooks The evidence was consistent across different stories and different participant ages
根据该研究,尽管参与者反馈,在“参与感更强”一项上,视频比有声书平均高出 15%,但他们的生理反应给出了不一样的答案。听有声书时,参试者的心率每分钟会增加两次,体温升高近两度。且面对不同的样本故事和年龄段不同的参试者时,该体征具有一致性。
Dr Joseph Devlin, head of experimental psychology at UCL and lead researcher on the project, said: “You’re hearing the story but mentally you’re doing all the work, whereas when you’re watching it, it’s more of a passive experience The director’s imagination has brought it to life We’d anticipated we might see something in the physiology but we didn’t expect the results to be as clear as they were”
约瑟夫·德弗林博士是伦敦大学学院实验心理学系主任,也是这个项目的首席研究员。他说:“你虽然只是在听故事,但你的大脑在完成所有的工作。相比之下,当你观看的时候,则更像一个被动的经历,因为导演已经用自己的想象力把故事展现出来了。我们有预感会看到一些生理学上的反应,但没想到结果会这么直观明了。”
