6、分钟)一、Passage 3(总题数:0,分数:0.00)二、Questions 27-30(总题数:1,分数:4.00)A the discovery of a mechanism for telepathy.B the need to create a suitable environment for telepathy.C their claims of a high success rate.D a solution to the problem posed by random guessing.E the significance of the ganzfeld experiment
7、s.F a more careful selection of subjects.G a need to keep altering conditions.(分数:4.00)(1).Researchers with differing attitudes towards telepathy agree on _.(分数:1.00)填空项 1:_ (正确答案:E)解析:解析 题目本身很容易理解,不同观点的研究人员对某事达成一致共识。题目的难度在于原文与题目对应的关键词 sceptics,advocates 和 concur都具有一定难度,sceptics 意为“怀疑论者”,advocates意为
8、“拥护者”,concur 意为“一致同意”,如果不知道这几个词的意思(尤其是 concur)就很难在原文中找到准确的定位。如果不认识这些词汇,只能靠猜测。(2).Reports of experiences during meditation indicated _.(分数:1.00)填空项 1:_ (正确答案:B)解析:解析 这道题目非常容易定位,但是原文的句子却较难理解。不过只要看到 light,sound and warmth,就能够非常简单地了解这是对于环境的一些特殊要求,含有 suitable environment的选项 B即可被选出。(3).Attitudes to paraps
9、ychology would alter drastically with _.(分数:1.00)填空项 1:_ (正确答案:A)解析:解析 这道题解题的关键是定位,只要定位到原文即可轻松找到答案。在定位过程中有两个障碍,第一个是跨度障碍,从第 28题定位的原文到本题跨越了三个段落,而这三个段落其实是后边的第 31题第 40题对应的原文,这就需要考生将全部问题都浏览之后再读文章;第二个障碍是关键词的选择,虽然按照越特殊的词汇越是关键词的方法应该选 parapsychology,但 parapsychology一词在文中多次出现,凡是多次出现的词汇就不能再作为关键词,关键词之所以关键是由于它的唯
10、一性,它需要帮助我们回到文中定位。这道题目的关键词应该是 attitudes alter,这样就可以与文中的 change in attitude相对应,从而找到 mechanism for telepathy对应的答案 A。(4).Recent autoganzfeld trials suggest that success rates will improve with _.(分数:1.00)填空项 1:_ (正确答案:F)解析:解析 基本上在一类题目的最后一道题目中出现 recent这个词,就是在说最新的进展了,那么定位一般都在文章的结尾。通过关键词对应,可以找到原文的位置,就是在最后一
11、段的倒数第二、三句话。文中出现了 creative and artistic people和后边的 musicians,这些都是特殊的专业,他们在测试中可以取得高 success rates,答案中只有 F的 selection of subjects可以反映出对测试者专业的选择。三、Questions 31-40(总题数:1,分数:10.00)Telepathy ExperimentsName/Date Description Result FlawGanzfeld studies 1982Involved a person acting as a (31) who picked out o
12、ne (32) from a random selection of four, and a (33) who then tried to identify it.Hit-rates were higher than with random guessing.Positive results could be produced by factors such as (34) or (35) .Autoganzfeld studies 1987(36) were used for key tasks to limit the amount of (37) in carrying out the
13、tests.The results were then subjected to a (38) .The (39) between different test results was put down to the fact that sample groups were not (40) (as with most ganzfeld studies).(分数:10.00)填空项 1:_ (正确答案:sender)解析:填空项 1:_ (正确答案:image)解析:填空项 1:_ (正确答案:receiver)解析:解析 这是一个完整的试验,抛开难以理解的文章,这三道题目还是相对容易的。这三
14、道题目的定位可以通过表格中的 1982来确定,由于文中 1982是唯一的,立刻就能定位到第三段。通过关键词 acting as可以确定第 31题应当先写的是 sender,通过 four可以确定 32题的答案image,33 题目并不能通过关键词 identify直接确定答案,需要对原文有简单的理解,即可判断出答案是 receiver。填空项 1:_ (正确答案:sensory leakage)解析:填空项 1:_ (正确答案:outright fraud)解析:解析 这两道题目在表格中出现在 Flaw一栏里,意思是试验的缺点。第四段中就提到了 But there was a crucial
15、flaw in this argument,紧接着下一句就出现了 positive results这个关键词,答案肯定就在这句话后边,但问题是原文中含有答案的句子带有两个破折号,为不熟悉英文标点用法的人会带来麻烦。遇到两个破折号的时候,两个破折号之间的一段话是在解释第一个破折号前面的那个词,与定语从句非常类似。做题时可以直接将破折号中的内容去掉,句子就成了:These ranged from sensory leakage to outright fraud, 题目的答案就一目了然了。你不需要知道 sensory leakage to outright fraud是什么意思,照搬上去就可以了。
16、填空项 1:_ (正确答案:computers)解析:填空项 1:_ (正确答案:human involvement)解析:解析 同样地,我们通过在原文中只有一处的 1987来定位,找到第五段。用 used和 key tasks找出答案 computers,注意不要忘记 s。通过 limit和 minimising的对应找到答案 human involvement。填空项 1:_ (正确答案:meta-analysis)解析:解析 这道题目定位有一定难度,题目中给出的信息中没有任何特殊信息,只能用 results和subjected来定位,之后会发现只有 results出现在原文中。不过 1987可以帮助我们进行定位,定位之后可以找到答案 meta-analysis,照抄即可。填空项 1:_ (正确答案:lack of consistency)解析:填空项 1:_ (正确答案:big enough)解析:解析 这两道题目使用了 be put down to将文中并不连续的两句话的内容串在了一起,be put down to是“被归因于”的意思,两个空可以分别在文中找到对应的句子。第 39题可以通过 between直接找到答案。第 40题也可以通过 groups were not定位到原文的 the group is just not big enough,从而找到答案。
