考研人數逐年增加,競爭之激烈使得我們不得不加急復習的日程。眾所周知,閱讀理解占據了考研英語二100分試卷的一半分值,而考研英語閱讀文章大多來自英美國家的主流報刊雜志,所以如果能在日常就多多閱讀這些文章,對以后讀懂文章做對題目來說會大有裨益。
學習步驟如下:
1.不看漢語譯文自己看一遍短文做理解
2.看漢語譯文比對自己理解的意思與之出入
3.強化記憶重點單詞(以記憶其漢語意思為主)
We're fairly good at judging people based on first impressions, thin slices of experience ranging from a glimpse of a photo to a five-minute interaction, and deliberation can be not only extraneous but intrusive. In one study of the ability she called"thin slicing, " the late psychologist Nalini Ambady asked participants to watch silent 10-second video clips of professors and to rate the instructor's overall effectiveness. Their ratings correlated strongly with students' end-of-semester ratings. Another set of participants had to count backward from 1,000 by nines as they watched the clips, occupying their conscious working memory. Their ratings were just as accurate, demonstrating the intuitive nature of the social processing.
短文翻譯
我們很擅長根據從瞥一眼照片到五分鐘互動的少量經驗中得到的第一印象來評判一個人,而深思熟慮不僅無關緊要,而且會干擾我們的判斷。已故心理學家納里尼·安巴迪在一項名為“薄切片”的能力研究中,要求參與者觀看幾段 10秒鐘的無聲視頻片段,并對視頻中教授們的整體教學效果進行評估。他們的評分與學生的期末評分有很強的相關性。另一組參與者在觀看視頻時必須從1000開始以9為差值倒數,通過這種方式使他們不能夠運用有意識的工作記憶。他們的評分也同樣準確,這表明了社交過程的直覺性。

題目解析
36.【解析】由題干關鍵詞“Nalini Ambady’s study”定位至文章第一段第二句,第二句介紹了實驗內容,讓參與者通過10秒中的短視頻對教授們有一個第一印象(文章開頭提到),結果他們對于這些教授的評價排名和與教授們接觸已久的學生們的排名是一致的, 所以 demonstrating the intuitive nature of the social processing(展示了社交過程的直覺特質),與【C】 the reliability of first impression(第一印象的可靠性)。【A】項:師生互動,無中生有;【B】項:人們記憶的力量,偷換文段論述的話題;【C】項:人們影響他人的能力,無中生有。
