标题: 5分钟阅读,2008年传统阅读第三篇,直播完毕
直播是为没有权限下载音频版教程的同学提供的。
有人不太敢看08年的真题,觉得是要留到后面做自测的。在这里海豚想说几点自己的看法:
1、海豚理解大家的想法,因为我当年考试的时候也是这样的想法,但是后来通过实践证明,这样做的好处不大。
2、你要大概留到什么时候自测?如果真的是到最后面的时候,自测还有什么用?英语是一个长期的过程,到最后才知道自己不足之处在哪里,是不是有一点点晚呢?
3、最宝贵的可以拿来研究的资料就是近5年考试的题目,结果你还有一两套不舍得研究,是不是自己放弃了和真题亲密接触的机会啦?
所以要强调一点,真题对于想拿到高分的同学来说,不是模拟试卷,而是学习资料。

好,现在开始我们的第三次直播

这次直播海豚放慢一下速度,希望大家能跟上,也希望大家能够提出宝贵的意见和建议。毕竟海豚能够完善节目的话,受益的是大家嘛~~~

照例先上全文,大家可以试试自己读一下

In the early 1960s Wilt Chamberlain was one of only three players in the National Basketball Association (NBA) listed at over seven feet. If he had played last season, however, he would have been one of 42. The bodies playing major professional sports have changed dramatically over the years, and managers have been more than willing to adjust team uniforms to fit the growing numbers of bigger, longer frames.

The trend in sports, though, may be obscuring an unrecognized reality: Americans have generally stopped growing. Though typically about two inches taller now than 140 years ago, today’s people – especially those born to families who have lived in the U.S. for many generations – apparently reached their limit in the early 1960s. And they aren’t likely to get any taller. “In the general population today, at this genetic, environmental level, we’ve pretty much gone as far as we can go,” says anthropologist William Cameron Chumlea of Wright State University. In the case of NBA players, their increase in height appears to result from the increasingly common practice of recruiting players from all over the world.

Growth, which rarely continues beyond the age of 20, demands calories and nutrients – notably, protein – to feed expanding tissues. At the start of the 20th century, under-nutrition and childhood infections got in the way. But as diet and health improved, children and adolescents have, on average, increased in height by about an inch and a half every 20 years, a pattern known as the secular trend in height. Yet according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, average height – 5′9″ for men, 5′4″ for women – hasn’t really changed since 1960.

Genetically speaking, there are advantages to avoiding substantial height. During childbirth, larger babies have more difficulty passing through the birth canal. Moreover, even though humans have been upright for millions of years, our feet and back continue to struggle with bipedal posture and cannot easily withstand repeated strain imposed by oversize limbs. “There are some real constraints that are set by the genetic architecture of the individual organism,” says anthropologist William Leonard of Northwestern University.

Genetic maximums can change, but don’t expect this to happen soon. Claire C. Gordon, senior anthropologist at the Army Research Center in Natick, Mass., ensures that 90 percent of the uniforms and workstations fit recruits without alteration. She says that, unlike those for basketball, the length of military uniforms has not changed for some time. And if you need to predict human height in the near future to design a piece of equipment, Gordon says that by and large, “you could use today’s data and feel fairly confident.”

第一段

In the early 1960s Wilt Chamberlain was one of only three players in the National Basketball Association (NBA) listed at over seven feet. If he had played last season, however, he would have been one of 42. ││The bodies playing major professional sports have changed dramatically over the years, and managers have been more than willing to adjust team uniforms to fit the growing numbers of bigger, longer frames.
段落一开头就提到了一个具体的人Wilt Chamberlain 还有一个具体的时间In the early 1960s ,这说明这一句绝对是一个例子,用来引出主题的。那么这一句就不用看了,记住在这里出现过W.C.这个人就可以了。
我们来看一下例子引出来的主题(划横线部分)。这一个主题有一点点长,我们仔细看一下这一句话的主干(深蓝色部分)说的是什么?(看绿色部分)球员的身体变化巨大,变得更高了,块头更大了,是吧?

好,在这个地方即使你不认识张伯伦,你也应该知道NBA吧?那么就知道这里说的是NBA的球员的身高情况。

第二段

The trend in sports, though, may be obscuring an unrecognized reality: Americans have generally stopped growing. Though typically about two inches taller now than 140 years ago, today’s people – especially those born to families who have lived in the U.S. for many generations – apparently reached their limit in the early 1960s. And they aren’t likely to get any taller. “In the general population today, at this genetic, environmental level, we’ve pretty much gone as far as we can go,” says anthropologist William Cameron Chumlea of Wright State University. In the case of NBA players, their increase in height appears to result from the increasingly common practice of recruiting players from all over the world.
这一句的主题是什么?先看一下第一句好。冒号后面强调的是什么?Americans have generally stopped growing.美国人几乎都停止生长了。那么这一段是不是都是说这个的呢?看到后面出现了一个though,though是表示让步,那它后面会出现一个有转折的意思,好,我们去后面找找那个转折的部分看一下。today’s people apparently reached their limit in the early 1960s. And they aren’t likely to get any taller.是不是还是说美国人没有长高?那这一段知道是什么意思了吧?后面那个人的话,还需要再去看吗?不需要了吧?肯定又是举例论证,对吧?记住这个人是谁,以免后面的问题可能会提到这个人William Cameron Chumlea是吧?我们记住是W.C.C.说的。

那是下一次了,这一次虽然和录音重复,但是是给权限不够的研友们看的
因为海豚自己也是对自己很没自信,不敢随便拿音频出来丢人现眼,呵呵

第三段

Growth, which rarely continues beyond the age of 20, demands calories and nutrients – notably, protein – to feed expanding tissues. At the start of the 20th century, under-nutrition and childhood infections got in the way. But as diet and health improved, children and adolescents have, on average, increased in height by about an inch and a half every 20 years, a pattern known as the secular trend in height. Yet according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, average height – 5′9″ for men, 5′4″ for women – hasn’t really changed since 1960.
看看第一句,第一句又是一个有点长的句子,可不可以一眼看出它的主要意思呢?Growth demands calories and nutrients to feed expanding tissues。也就是成长需要热量和营养。好,发现这一段里又有一个but,看看这个but后面说了什么。children and adolescents have increased in height by about an inch and a half every 20 years, a pattern known as the secular trend in height.公认的身高增长的趋势。后面还有一个yet,又是一个转折,接连着两个转折,是不是第二个的内容更重要啊?转折说的是什么呢?这一句能直接看出重点在哪里吗?在第二个破折号后面,hasn’t really changed since 1960,身高实际上并没有变化。是不是还是和上一段的意思一样啊?身高没有变化。

第四段

Genetically speaking, there are advantages to avoiding substantial height. During childbirth, larger babies have more difficulty passing through the birth canal. Moreover, even though humans have been upright for millions of years, our feet and back continue to struggle with bipedal posture and cannot easily withstand repeated strain imposed by oversize limbs. “There are some real constraints that are set by the genetic architecture of the individual organism,” says anthropologist William Leonard of Northwestern University.
看看第一句话,Genetically speaking, 从遗传学的角度说,there are advantages to avoiding substantial height.从During childbirth到Moreover,然后是一个人说的话,这个人叫做WL,都是说 advantages

昨天晚上临时有些事情,没有继续,对不起大家了


第五段

Genetic maximums can change, but don’t expect this to happen soon. Claire C. Gordon, senior anthropologist at the Army Research Center in Natick, Mass., ensures that 90 percent of the uniforms and workstations fit recruits without alteration. She says that, unlike those for basketball, the length of military uniforms has not changed for some time. And if you need to predict human height in the near future to design a piece of equipment, Gordon says that by and large, “you could use today’s data and feel fairly confident.”
第一句话说的是什么?遗传的最大量是可以改变的,但是,不要希望它会在很短的时间内改变。后面就是这个CCG在说了很多话,证明不能很快改变吧?那么这个人的话我们也暂时不要去看了。
下面开始做题。

作者: 海豚宝贝    时间: 08-10-29 09:01
31.Wilt Chamberlain is cited as an example to
A] illustrate the change of height of NBA players.
B] show the popularity of NBA players in the U.S..
C] compare different generations of NBA players.
D] assess the achievements of famous NBA players.


WC被引用作为一个例子的目的是什么?WC这个人出现在哪里?第一段,是不是?第一段说了什么?
主题句还记得吗?
The bodies playing major professional sports have changed dramatically over the years

说的是NBA的球员长高了,是吧?那么这个选项里我们应该选择什么?A吧?好了,下一题。
作者: 海豚宝贝    时间: 08-10-29 09:03
32.Which of the following plays a key role in body growth according to the text?
A] Genetic modification.
B] Natural environment.
C] Living standards.
D] Daily exercise.


文中作者认为什么是身体生长中的重要因素?我们在文中看到了这个内容的吧?第三段里说了,卡路里和营养最重要吧?

Growth, which rarely continues beyond the age of 20, demands calories and nutrients – notably, protein – to feed expanding tissues.


但是,选项中并没有提到卡路里和营养。我们来分析一下选项。A遗传的修正,文中有提到遗传吧?但是是不是说遗传的改变效果不明显?B自然环境,文中没有提到吧?有人会说了,营养不算是生长环境吗?即使算,这里也只是自然环境而不是生长环境,对不对?两个是不同的概念。C,生活水平,是不是就是营养啊?答案就选C吧?看看D选项,每天的练习,文中没有提到这个吧?
作者: 海豚宝贝    时间: 08-10-29 09:04
33.On which of the following statements would the author most probably agree?
A] Non-Americans add to the average height of the nation.
B] Human height is conditioned by the upright posture.
C] Americans are the tallest on average in the world.
D] Larger babies tend to become taller in adulthood.



作者最可能同意下面的哪一个?好,先看看C,是不是错的啊?作者没有认为美国人是世界最高的吧?看D,也没有说大个的婴儿长大以后也会更高吧?这个也是常识就可以判断的。看A,美国人没有为国家的平均身高做贡献?文中也是没有提到的吧?
ACD都不对,是不是?即使你不知道upright posture什么意思,你是不是也可以确定答案是B?


那upright posture的意思是什么呢?直立姿势。
作者: 海豚宝贝    时间: 08-10-29 09:06
34.We learn from the last paragraph that in the near future
A] the garment industry will reconsider the uniform size.
B] the design of military uniforms will remain unchanged.
C] genetic testing will be employed in selecting sportsmen.
D] the existing data of human height will still be applicable.


从最后一段我们可以知道,不久的将来……
最后一段说了什么?我们看一下,人类的身高短期之内不会增高。那就是说不久的将来,人类的身高是不会有变动的,对吧?
A选项,服装产业要重新考虑制服的大小?会吗?需要吗?不会变还需要reconsider吗?A不对了吧?

B,这里说了,制服不会改变,是说了不会改变吧?这里还有一个military,说的是军队的制服。这个答案看着不错,可以留着。
C,遗传测试将选择运动员,有吗?没有吧?
D,现在的人类身高的数据依然可以使用。也是说没有改变。
这里我们比较一下B选项和D选项,两个表达的是一个意思对吧?但是是不是D选项比B选项更具有概括能力?包括的范围更广?这里可以用数学的思维来考虑一下。既然B对,那么D为什么不对?就会出现两个答案,对不对?但是D对,B不一定对,是吧?所以选答案的时候要选择能把另外一个包括的那个选项。虽然B选项在文中是出现过的,但是它依然不是我们主题句里的内容,它就不会是答案,对不对?

作者: 海豚宝贝    时间: 08-10-29 09:08
35.The text intends to tell us that
A] the change of human height follows a cyclic pattern.
B] human height is becoming even more predictable.
C] Americans have reached their genetic growth limit.
D] the genetic pattern of Americans has altered.


这篇文章想告诉我们什么。说的都是身高没有改变吧?下面是不是只有C选项,说美国人的身高达到了遗传的极限,是正确的啊?有人会问,那B选项也提到了人类的身高更容易被预测了啊。B的范围不是比C更广吗?B说的是人类,C说的是美国人。我们这篇文章读下来,你有没有看到提到过其他的国家的情况?没有吧?这是一篇说美国人身高的文章,并不是说全人类身高的文章,所以,即使B的范围更大,但是B根本就不对!所以不能选B。
