昨天真題鏈接的講解:(05年真題第二篇)

Fortunately, the White House is starting to pay attention. But it’s obvious that a majority of the president’s advisers still don’t take global warming seriously. Instead of a plan of action, they continue to press for more research -- a classic case of “paralysis by analysis.”

What does the author mean by “paralysis by analysis” (Last line, Paragraph 4)?

[A] Endless studies kill action.

[B] Careful investigation reveals truth.

[C] Prudent planning hinders progress.

[D] Extensive research helps decision-making.

由于第三句的破折號(破折號相當于等號)所以等于問:

Instead of a plan of action, they continue to press for more research

是什么意思!

第一句:

Fortunately,因此這句屬于正面的表達;

第二句:

But it’s obvious that a majority of the president’s advisers still don’t take global warming seriously.

But,所以這句屬于負面的表達;

第三句:

Instead of a plan of action, they continue to press for more research -- a classic case of “paralysis by analysis.”

第二句的第三句之間沒有明確的句間關系詞;

Instead of= not 不表示句間轉(zhuǎn)折,表示句中否定;

Instead= however 才表示句間轉(zhuǎn)折;

第二句是形式主語句,真的主語就應該是主語從句的主語;

第三句主語they指代第二句的主語:a majority of the president’s advisers

這兩句主語相同,判斷為并列;

第三句:Instead of a plan of action, they continue to press for more research

為負面表達;

所以先排除正面表達的選項:

[B] Careful investigation reveals truth.

[D] Extensive research helps decision-making.

剩下:

[A] Endless studies kill action.

[C] Prudent planning hinders progress.

(謹慎的計劃阻礙了進步。)

再根據(jù)狀語:Instead of a plan of action, (沒有行動計劃),排除C

答案為A

完美!

今天的句子:

這是來自大西洋月刊五月版的一篇文章,文章談到人們相信自己的感官再自然不過,相信眼前所見——這種固定的傾向?qū)⒈患磳⒌絹淼募僖曨l時代所利用。想想密歇根大學的研究人員談到了“信息末日”——試想如果是篡改過的視頻,情況將嚴重多少。謊言將瞬時披上嶄新的、爆炸性的情感強度。但問題可能不止于此。

But the problem isn’t just the proliferation of falsehoods. Fabricated videos will create new and understandable suspicions about everything we watch. Politicians and publicists will exploit those doubts. When captured in a moment of wrongdoing, a culprit will simply declare the visual evidence a malicious mixture.

思考題:

According to the text, the main concern of the false videos is______

(A) the sudden increase in the number of lies.

(B) the restoration of public trust on Politicians.

(C) the malicious use of visual evidence by Politicians.

(D) the exploitation of public suspicion by publicists.

詞匯突破:

1.proliferation of falsehoods 虛假信息的增加和擴散;

2. Fabricated videos 虛假視頻

3. publicists 公關人員

4. exploit 利用

5. culprit (這個詞我們見過的)犯錯的人,引起問題的事物

6. a malicious mixture 惡意合成的

第一句:

But the problem isn’t just the proliferation of falsehoods.

參考譯文:但問題不僅僅在于虛假信息的傳播。

第二句:

Fabricated videos will create new and understandable suspicions about everything we watch.

參考譯文:假視頻將讓我們對看到的所有事物都生發(fā)新的、情有可原的懷疑。

第三句:

Politicians and publicists will exploit those doubts.

參考譯文:政客和公關人員會利用這種疑心。

第四句:

When captured in a moment of wrongdoing, a culprit will simply declare the visual evidence a malicious mixture.

參考譯文:當被捕捉到不法行為或作惡時,元兇只需簡單地宣稱,視覺證據(jù)是惡意合成的。

思考題:

According to the text, the main concern of the false videos is______

(A) the sudden increase in the number of lies.

(B) the restoration of public trust on Politicians.

(C) the malicious use of visual evidence by Politicians.

(D) the exploitation of public suspicion by publicists.

題干有main 這個詞,第一句的擔心不是主要擔心,

A選項對于第一句,屬于定位錯誤。

(B) the restoration of public trust on Politicians.

公眾對于政客信任的恢復。

這個選項是將文中幾個元素拼湊在一起的。產(chǎn)生的含義在文中是沒有提及的。

(C) the malicious use of visual evidence by Politicians.

政客對于視頻證據(jù)的惡意使用;

這個選項也是將文中幾個元素拼湊在一起的。產(chǎn)生的含義在文中是沒有提及的。

所以一定要注意選項的切分!

(D) the exploitation of public suspicion by publicists.

這對應第三句; 為正確選項;

有人說,不是還有一個politician 嗎?

同義替換哪能全部都寫。

原文:JPP被一男和KK打了。

JPP被打了。(對)

JPP被KK打了。(對)

JPP被一男打了。(對)

明天的句子:

But we also must reject educational systems that, behind a supposed commitment to equity, quietly perpetuate the status quo. Instead of focusing on who from the margins is able to get in, we would do better to direct our attention to the fundamental ways selective admissions and educational institutions maintain the privileges of whiteness.

思考題:

According to the text, what we should do when facing the educational issue?

(A) we should cement the status quo to reject educational systems.

(B) we should get those marginalized to the educational institutions.

(C) we should focus on the fundamental change of educational systems.

(D) we should maintain the selective admissions and privileges of whiteness .
