再看一个同样也是生命科学文章的例子。这次不是以复杂机制作为隐蔽方法。文章主要内容是各种复杂理论来解释为什么动植物中的雌雄比例大致相等。文中一段末句提到:Although Fisher wrote before the mathematical theory of games had been developed, his theory incorporates the essential feature of a game that the best strategy to adopt depends on what others are doing.
这句话文字难度不大,但是这里是全文唯一一次提到game一词的地方。之后文章就详细展开关于Fisher的具体理论和机理。之后提问:
According to the passage, successful game strategy depends on
the ability to adjust ones behavior in light of the behavior of others
ones awareness that there is safety in numbers
the degree of stability one can create in ones immediate environment
the accuracy with which one can predict future events
the success one achieves in conserving and storing ones resources
阅读功底一般的同学读到这里,顿时就停在那里。因为文中竟然提到过一个理论叫game,对他来说早已相见不如怀念了。此时要么全文重新检索,要么无奈的放弃。这种细节定位题貌似简单,其实杀伤力是极其巨大的。笔者教学过程中一直强调的是读文章时就尽量形成预测考点的感觉,不然这种细节是很难找到的,即使后期水平上升到很高的境界。仔细观察对应的出题点,标点符号破折号其实已经隐蔽地暗示了此处叙述的重要性。正确选项A,depend on改写为in light of, behavior of others概括了文中的what others are doing。
