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）

And guilt, by prompting us to think more deeply about our goodness, can encourage humans to make up for errors and fix relationships. Guilt, in other words, can help hold a cooperative species together. It is a kind of social glue.

Viewed in this light, guilt is an opportunity. Work by Tina Malti, a psychology professor at the University of Toronto, suggests that guilt may compensate for an emotional deficiency. In a number of studies, Malti and others have shown that guilt and sympathy may represent different pathways to cooperation and sharing. Some kids who are low in sympathy may make up for that shortfall by experiencing more guilt, which can rein in their nastier impulses. And vice versa: High sympathy can substitute for low guilt.

短文翻譯

而內疚感,通過促使我們更深入地思考人性之善,可以鼓勵人們去彌補過錯并修復關系。換句話說,內疚感有助于讓一個合作性的種族團結起來。它是一種社會黏合劑。

從這個角度來看,內疚感是一種機會。多倫多大學的心理學教授蒂娜·馬爾蒂的研究表明,內疚感也許能彌補某種情感缺失。在大量研究中,馬爾蒂和其他研究人員已經證明,內疚感和同情心可能代表著促成合作與共享的不同路徑。一些缺乏同情心的孩子可以通過體驗更多的內疚感來彌補這種缺失,這種內疚感可以抑制他們更惡意的沖動。反之亦然:富有同情心可以替代內疚感的不足。

題目解析

24.【解析】根據題干關鍵詞“Malti and others have shown 與cooperation and sharing.”回文定位到第四段第三句：“Malti and others have shown that guilt and sympathy may represent different pathways to cooperation and sharing.” (馬爾蒂和其他人已經表明，內疚和同情可能代表了合作和分享的不同途徑。) 對比四個選項，只有B項 can result from either sympathy or guilt(要么歸因于同情，要么歸因于內疚)與原文表述一致，故為正確選項。

A項may help correct emotional deficiencies(可能有助于改正情感缺陷)與第四段第二句話… that guilt may compensate for an emotional deficiency(內疚可能會彌補情感缺陷)不符。

C項can bring about emotional satisfaction(能夠帶來情感上的滿足)并未提及。

D項may be the outcome of impulsive acts (可能是沖動行為的結果) 與第四段第三句…which can rein in their nastier impulses(這可以控制他們更糟糕的沖動)因果倒置，故排除。
