在本套题的Passage 2中,同样出现了几处有一定难度的题目值得讨论,现分述如下:
Q15 : Plato believed humour to be a sign of above-average intelligence.
以大写首字母的人名Plato做关键词来帮助定位,我们会在原文第二段发现它的出处:
Plato expressed the idea that humour is simply a delighted feeling of superiority over others.
看起来二者已经有对应的可能性了:feeling 似乎只能和 sign对应,而superiority 似能和above-average 对应。但是稍加思考问题就出现了:feeling 只是一种主观感觉,而sign 是客观迹象; 原文虽然出现了superiority, 但并未明确是intelligence方面的。而不能肯定也不代表可以否定,最终答案是NOT GIVEN.
Q16. Kant believed that a successful joke involves the controlled release of nervous energy.
除了Kant 以外,可以做关键词帮助定位的还包括the controlled release和 nervous energy,
找到Kant 所在的位置Paragraph 2:
Kant and Freud felt that joke-telling relies on building up a psychic tension which is safely punctured by the ludicrousness of the punchline.
若欲凭籍词或词组的对应关系来判断正误,这道题恐怕就会令人失望。脱离上下文,读者是不会将controlled release 和safely punctured 联系起来,也不会将nervous energy 和psychic tension视作等同,然而若根据原文内容仔细理解关于humour 的过程就会洞悉上述2组短语所表达的实质内容是一样的,都是指幽默的过程其实是将蓄积的神经能量(心理紧张)在一定条件下得到释放(safely punctured), 该题的答案为:TRUE.
因此,朗阁海外考试研究中心建议考生在备考过程中应注意夯实自己的实力,提升综合理解能力,才有望克服上述类型的题目。
再看Passage 3的Q29 :
Choose NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS from the passage for each answer.
Sometimes the desire to protect ideas seems to have been stronger than the desire to communicate them, particularly in the case of mathematicians and 29 ______________.
题目中mathematicians 是一个绝佳的定位词,因为填空所需要的词是和它并列的,在原文中也至少不会相距很远。
原文: And in the mid-17th century it was common practice for mathematicians to keep their discoveries and proofs secret, by writing them in cipher,
文中没有很顺利地出现和数学家并列的词,不过在接下来的句子中出现了:Some scientists might have felt more comfortable with Latin precisely because its audience, though international, was socially restricted.
一些同学看到终于出现了scientists, 就牵强地将其并列,忽略了科学家坚持用Latin的原因是能够precisely 地表达他们的idea. 而题目中的信息则不然,因为和它并列的这个职业的人必须是和mathematicians一样,具有the desire to protect ideas seems to have been stronger than the desire to communicate的特点,所以,scientists 这个答案和原文内容是有偏差的。
段落最后一句道明了答案:Doctors clung the most keenly to Latin as an insider language.
引号内的insider language成为前文中keep their desire and proofs secret,一句的代换。所以答案是doctors. 该题考察的是读者细致严谨的阅读风格,考生应在备考中多做针对性的训练。
