Making a rapidemotional assessment of the events of the moment is an extremely demanding jobfor the brain, animal or human.
考生應(yīng)該能夠敏銳地發(fā)現(xiàn)extremelydemanding是most difficult的代換,由此確定該句所表達(dá)的意思是正確答案,在list中搜尋正確的選項(xiàng)時(shí),句子中的內(nèi)容被再一次代換,其中原文中 rapidemotional assessment of the events被代換為respond instantly towhatever is happening, 至此,答案為C。
Example 2:
It has been suggestedthat children hold mistaken views about the 'pure' science that they study atschool. 根據(jù)'pure'定位到文中第二段第一行Manystudies have shown that children harbour misconceptions about 'pure' science,curriculum science. 短短一句話我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn)有三組四處同義替換,分別為suggested-shown;hold-harbour; mistaken views-misconceptions; science that they study atschool-curriculum science. 因此答案為TRUE。
Example 3:
Some people maybelieve that the teacher- subjects’ behavior could be explained as a positivesurvival mechanism.
可以看出句中positive和survival是關(guān)鍵詞,由句中出現(xiàn)的survivalmechanism可判斷為是從生物角度來談?wù)摰?,又因?yàn)樵牡腇段首句:One’sfirst inclination might be to argue that there are must be some sort of built inanimal aggression instinct that … 中提到了相關(guān)內(nèi)容,所以定位到該段。迅速掃描,搜尋和兩個(gè)關(guān)鍵詞對應(yīng)的信息,除了在該段第六行出現(xiàn)了原詞重現(xiàn)的survival, 還在上一行出現(xiàn)了advantageous, 顯然是positive的代換。由于原文跟題目中的信息吻合,所以答案是TRUE。
原文:Computers are gainingin popularity, despite their cost.
題目:Computers are morepopular than they used to be.
原文當(dāng)中的gaining in popularity題目中用morepopular than they used to be作為替換。兩者在意思上屬于完全一致的同義轉(zhuǎn)換,因此答案為TRUE。
Example 2:
原文:Biologically, aspecies becomes extinct when its last individual dies.
題目:In biological terms,a species is said to be extinct when only one individual exists.
原文當(dāng)中的biologically用題目的inbiological terms作為替換。Become則由issaid to be作為替換。但是原文當(dāng)中的die在題目中變成了exist, 直接相反的意思。介于最后這一處的轉(zhuǎn)換與原文信息不符,可以判斷出此題答案是FALSE。
Example 3:
There were severalreasons for the research into plastics in the nineteenth century, among themthe great advances that had been made in the field of _____and the search foralternatives to natural resources like ivory.
解析:根據(jù)nineteenth century定位到文中第二段......Theimpetus behind the development of these early plastics was generated by anumber of factors- immense technological progress in the domain ofchemistry,.......其中,in the field of意思等同于inthe domain of“在....領(lǐng)域”,因此答案為chemistry。
In recent years, manyof them have been obliged to give up their _____ lifestyle, but they continueto depend mainly on _____ for their food and clothes.
解析:根據(jù)上下文定位到文中 Overthe past 40 years, most have abandoned their nomadic ways and settled in theterritory's 18 isolated communities, but they still rely heavily on nature toprovide food and clothing. 因?yàn)榇蠖鄶?shù)同學(xué)都認(rèn)識(shí)abandon, 更知道giveup是“放棄”的意思,屬于單詞與詞組的替換,因此第一個(gè)空填nomadic,lifestyle“生活方式”與ways替換,dependmainly on與rely heavily on屬于詞組與詞組的替換,意為“依賴......”,答案為nature。
