2012年试题英语一第3篇阅读理解解析
——中公考研魏海妹
1. According to the first paragraph, the process of discovery is characterized by its
[A] uncertainty and complexity. [B] misconception and deceptiveness.
[C] logicality and objectivity. [D] systematicness and regularity.
解:关键词“the first paragraph”定位到第一段,题干中的“discovery”定位到第一段中“But in the everyday practice of science, discovery frequently follows an ambiguous and complicated route.”题干中“is characterized by”和“process”分别为该句中“frequently”和“route”的同义再现,更可确定该句为关键句。关键句中“ambiguous and complicated”可确定答案为A项,A项中的uncertainty为ambiguous的同义替换,complexity为complicated的同义替换。其中B项“误解和欺骗”、C项“逻辑性和客观性”、D项“系统性和规律性”均不在关键句中,故排除。
2. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that credibility process requires
[A] strict inspection. [B] shared efforts.
[C] individual wisdom. [D] persistent innovation.
解:根据题干关键词“Paragraph 2”定位到第二段,再“credibility process”定位到第二段中“This is the credibility process.”,第三人称单数“this”可知有关于“credibility process”的信息在上一句话,故定位到“But it takes collective scrutiny and acceptance to transform a discovery claim into a mature discovery.”,该句中的takes即为题干中requires的同义替换,故该句为关键句,关键句中的collective(共同的)可确定答案为B项“共同努力”。若不知collective意为“共同的”,则可采用排除法。其中,C项“个人智慧”和D项“持续创新”不在所定位段落之中,故可排除。A项“严格调查”,关键句中未提及“严格”这层含义,应该为“共同的调查”才对,所以排除A项。
3. Paragraph 3 shows that a discovery claim becomes credible after it
[A] has attracted the attention of the general public.
[B] has been examined by the scientific community.
[C] has received recognition from editors and reviewers.
[D] has been frequently quoted by peer scientists.
解:关键词“Paragraph 3”定位第三段,再“discovery claim becomes credible”定位第三段中后一句话“As a discovery claim works its way through the community, the interaction and confrontation ... Transforms an individual’s discovery claim into the community’s credible discovery.”可知B项“科学发现声明需要被科学集体检测”正确。其中,A项中的“public”、C项“editors and reviewers”、D项“peer scientists”都是科学声明变的可信的过程,需要三者共同检测才会变的可信,故可用“community”概括,ACD均可排除。
4. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi would most likely agree that
[A] scientific claims will survive challenges. [B] discoveries today inspire future research.
[C] efforts to make discoveries are justified. [D] scientific work calls for a critical mind.
解:根据题文同序的原则,以及关键词“Albert Szent-Gyorgyi”可定位第四段中“Albert Szent-Gyorgyi once described discovery as‘seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought’.”可知D项“科学工作要求批判性思维”正确。其中,A项“challenges”和B项“future research”均出现在所定位关键句的前一句话中,故可排除。C项定位段未提及,也可排除。
5. Which of the following would be the best title of the test?
[A] Novelty as an engine of Scientific Discovery. [B] Collective Scrutiny in Scientific Discovery.
[C] Evolution of Credibility in Doing Science. [D] Challenge to Credibility at the Gate to Science.
解:考研英语阅读文章为议论文,故文应该围绕作者的论点展开论述,那5个题目围绕文章论点进行,故可题干来锁定论点范围。前4个题目中“科学发现和可信度”字眼频繁出现,故论点与其有关,则可排除AB项。其中D项“科学入门处对可信度的质疑”只是第四段的大意,故排除,所以正确答案为C项“科学研究中可信度的发展”。
