  • 第3题:

    资料:In a survey,people were asked to choose between treatments to save 600 people from dying a disease.
    Participants,including physicians,were asked to choose between a certain outcome that 200 people will be saved and a risky choice where there is a one-third probability that 600 people will be saved and a two-thirds probability that no people will be saved.
    In a second example,the group were asked to choose between allowing 400 people to die or a one-third probably that nobody will die and two-thirds probability that 600 people will die.
    In both examples,the first choices have an identical outcome as do their second alternatives.But faced with such a grave choice people did not spot the similarities. In the first example people opted to save 200 people over the gamble of losing people and in the second example people preferred the gamble over the certain outcome of killing 400 people.
    What the experiment shows is that wording can have potentially dangerous consequences.Most of people tend to feel losses much more strongly than the pleasure of making a comparable gain.

    What is the difference between the two examples mentioned in the passage?

    A.The participants
    B.The wording
    C.The background
    D.The contents

    答案:B
    解析:
    本题考查细节理解。
    【关键词】difference;between the two examples
    【主题句】What the experiment shows is that wording can have potentially dangerous consequences。实验表明,措辞可能会带来潜在的危险后果。
    【解析】本题问的是“文章中提到的两个例子,有哪些不同”。文章开头提到一项调查,人们被要求在治疗方法之间做出选择,以拯救600人免于死于一种疾病。举出两种问答方式示例,并以此展开描述。示例一“Participants,including physicians,were asked to choose between a certain outcome that 200 people will be saved and a riskychoice where there is a one-third probability that 600 people will be saved and a two-thirds probability that no people will be saved.”意为“参与者,包括医生,被要求在确定结局及风险选择之间进行选择, 200人将被拯救,或有三分之一的可能性有600人被拯救,三分之二的可能性是没有人会被拯救。”示例二“In a second example,the group were asked to choose between allowing 400 people to die or a one-third probably that nobody will die and two-thirds probability that 600 people will die.”意为“在第二个例子中,这组人同样被要求做出选择,400人会死,或者有三分之一的可能没有人会死,三分之二的可能是600人会死。”选项A意为“参与者”,选项B意为“措辞”,选项C意为“背景”,选项D意为“内容”,结合文章及主题句,故选B。

    The Bilingual Brain
    When Karl Kim immigrated to the United States from Korea as a teenager,he had a hard time learning English.Now he speaks it fluently, and he had a unique opportunity to see how our brains adapt to a second language.As a graduate student, Kim worked in the lab of Joy Hirsch, a neuroscientist in New York Their work led to an important discovery.They found evidence that children and adults don't use the same parts ofthe brain when they learn a second language.
    The researchers used an instrument called an MRI(magnetic resonance imaging)scanner to study the brains of two groups of bilingual people.One group consisted of those who had learned a second language as children.The other consisted of people who,like Kim,learned their second language later in lite.Peoplefrom both groups were placed inside the MRI scanner ,This allowed Kim and Hirsch to see which parts of thebrain were getting more blood and were more active.They asked people from both groups to think about whatthey had done the day before ,first in one language and then the other.They couldn't speak out loudbecause any movement would disrupt(干扰)the scanning.
    Kim and Hirsch looked specifically at two language centers in the brain-Broca' s area, which isbelieved to control speech production,and Wernicke's area,which is thought to process meaning.Kim andHirsch found that both groups of people used the same part of Wernicke's area no matter what language theywere speaking.But their use of Broca's area was different.
    People who learned a second language as children used the same region in Broca's area for both tneir first and second languages.People who learned a second language later in life used a different part of Broca's area for their second language.How does Hirsch explain this difference?Hirsch believes that when language is first being programmed in young children,their brains may mix the sounds and structures of all languages in the same area.Once that programming is complete,the processing of a new language must be taken over by adifferent part of the brain.
    A second possibility is simply that we may acquire languages differently as children than we do asadults.Hirsch thinks that mothers teach a baby to speak by using different methods involving touch,sound and sight.And that is very different from learning a language in a high school or college class.

    Kim and Hirsch find that children______.
    A: use the same region in Broca's area to learn their first and second language
    B:learn a second language slower than adults
    C:are better at acquiring the sound system of a second language than adults
    D:use special parts of the brain to program the structures of their first language

    答案:A
    解析:
    由文章第一段最后一句可知,他们发现证据表明儿童和成人在学习第二语言时使用的是大脑的不同区域,故选B。
    由文章第二段第一句可知,研究人员使用一种名为MRI扫描仪的设备来研究这两组学习双语人群的大脑活动,故选C。
    由文章第三段第一句可知,这两个中枢的作用分别是控制语言产出和处理语言意义,这属于中枢的功能,故选B。
    由文章第四段第一句可知,从儿童时期就开始学习第二语言的人在学习第二语言时所使用的大脑布洛卡区域和学母语时相同,故选A。
    文章最后一段主要讲的是儿童和成年人学习语言的方式和手段不同,尤其提到了母亲在教授儿童语言时的独特方式:触觉、视觉和听觉等多种手段并用。这与以后学校的语言学习手段有着很大不同。我们可以推断出母亲很擅长教授孩子语言,尤其从“Hirsch thinks that mothers teach a baby to speak by using different methods involving touch,sound and sight.”这句话更可以看出。选项D是根据我们学习语言的经验得出的推断,但文中并没有这层隐含之意。

    What the experiment shows is that wording can have potentially dangerous consequences.Most of people tend to feel losses much more strongly than the pleasure of making a comparable gain.

    In the second example,more people choose the option( )?

    A.with a one-third probability that nobody will die
    B.with a two-thirds probability that nobody will be saved
    C.allowing 400 people to die
    D.that 200 people will be saved

    答案:A
    解析:
    本题考查的是细节理解。
    【关键词】second example;more people choose the option
    【主题句】in the second example people preferred the gamble over the certain outcome of killing 400 people.在第二个例子中,人们更倾向于冒险,而不是杀死400人的特定结果。
    【解析】本题的问题是“在第二个例子中,人们更倾向于哪个选择?”。根据原文可知,选项B以及选项D为第二个例子中的措辞,故排除B、D。(In a second example,the group were asked to choose between allowing 400 people to die or a one-third probably that nobody will die and two-thirds probability that 600 people will die.)结合主题句,“in the second example people preferred the gamble over the certain outcome of killing 400 people.在第二个例子中,人们更倾向于冒险,而不是杀死400人的特定结果。”故选A。

  • 第15题:

    How many syllables does the word “syllable” have?

    A.I
    B.2
    C.3
    D.4

    答案:C
    解析:
    语言学概念的实例分析。题目考查对syllable(音节)的理解。一般情况下,一个元音就是一个音节,但是某些特定的辅音(如[b]、[d])可以和其他辅音(如[l])构成一个音节,因此middle有两个音节,虽然它只有一个元音,而syllable有两个元音,却有三个音节。
