解析
57.Whatcanwelearnfromsomerecentstudies?
答案:
D.Interraciallodgingmayhavediverseoutcomes.
关键词:
recentstudies,butalso
定位:
题干中somerecentstudies提示答案定位在第一段第一句话。
解析:
问题提问从最近的研究中我们可以了解到什么?
第一段第一句中Severalrecentstudiesfoundthat…与题干对应,由此可知that后的就是recentstudies的内容,即beingrandomlyassignedtoaroommateofanotherracecanleadtoincreasedtolerancebutalsotoagreaterlikelihoodofconflict。
其中“beingrandomlyassignedtoaroommateofanotherrace”对应了选项D中的“interraciallodging”,“can…butalso…”说明了interraciallodging是有利有弊的。
因此D选项符合文意。
而C选项“弊大于利”不符合文意,A“不同种族学生之间的争执是不可避免的”选项与B“不同种族的学生相互存在偏见”原文中没有明确提及
58.WhatdoesSamBoakye'sremarkmean?
答案:
D.Beingsurroundedbywhitepeersmotivatesablackstudenttoworkhardertosucceed.
关键词:
surrounded,somethingtoprove
定位:
题干中出现的人名SamBoakye提示答案定位在第四段第一句话。
解析:
问题提问SamBoakye的话是什么意思?
通过定位可以找到SamBoakye的那段话,即ifyou'resurroundedbywhites,youhavesomethingtoprove.这句话前面的插入语-theonlyblackstudentonhisfreshmanyearfloor-介绍了SamBoakye作为黑人学生的背景,帮助我们理解之前那句话:
如果你的周围都是白人,那么一定会去证明些什么,言下之意就是选项D“白人同伴的存在会激励黑人学生更加努力地去取得成功”。
而选项A,B,C在文中没有明确提及。
本题选项C有个干扰信息“thefreshmanyear”,在原文中出现。
某些考生看到这个词,不假思索就选择了这个选项,但没有搞懂原文的意思,导致错误选择。
请考生留意。
59.WhatdoestheIndianUniversitystudyshow?
答案:
A.Interracialroommatesaremorelikelytofallout.
关键词:
IndianUniversity,morelikely,
定位:
题干中出现的机构名称IndianUniversity提示答案定位在第七段第一句话。
解析:
问题提问IndianUniversity的研究显示了什么?
通过定位可以发现研究结果显示Interracialroommatewerethreetimesaslikelyastwowhiteroommatestonolongerlivetogether,与选项A中的morelikelytofallout对应,因此选择D。
此处,fallout应该理解为“散伙,分开”有些考生可能因为不理解意思而产生歧义,请考生留意。
60.WhatdoesAlecWebleyconsidertobethe“definitionofintegration”?
答案:
D.Theschoolrandomlyassignsroommateswithoutregardtorace.
关键词:
AlecWebley,definitionofintegration
定位:
题干出现的人名AlecWebley提示答案定位在第十段第一句。
解析:
通过定位找到人名,人名后出现“Thisisthedefinitionofintegration”,由“this”可知人名前就是我们要找的答案,即theprocessthrowsyoutogetherrandomly,“throwyoutogetherrandomly”与“randomlyassign”对应。
意思与选项D符合。
因此,此处选择D。
61.WhatdoesGraceKaosayaboutinterraciallodging?
答案:
A.Itisunscientifictomakegeneralizationsaboutitwithoutfurtherstudy.
关键词:
GraceKao,generalizations
定位:
题干中出现的人名GraceKao以及generalizations提示答案定位在文章最后一段。
根据最后一段意思:
要得出Interraciallodging的一般规律,需要对学生的背景特征有更多的研究,与选项D的意思相同。
而选项ABC在文中没有明确提及。
PassageTwo
本篇文章主要是围绕一份来自GlobalHumanitarianForum的报告展开的,在解题之前,通过对5个题干的浏览,以及在原文中的定位,可以发现,这篇文章是严格按照顺序原则来出题的。
每一个题干中都有大写的字母,这些首字母大写的单词既是关键词,也是定位词,可以有效地帮助我们到原文中准确定位,节省答题时间。
