【真题解析】
The researchers suggest that capuchin monkeys, like humans, are guided by
social emotions. In the wild, they are a co-operative, group-living species.
Such co-operation is likely to be stable only when each animal feels it is not
being cheated. Feelings of righteous indignation, it seems, are not the preserve
of people alone. Refusing a lesser reward completely makes these feelings
abundantly clear to other members of the group. However, whether such a sense of
fairness evolved independently in capuchins and humans, or whether it stems from
the common ancestor that the species had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an
unanswered question.
What can we infer from the last paragraph?
[A]Monkeys can be trained to develop social emotions.
[B]Human indignation evolved from an uncertain source.
[C]Animals usually show their feelings openly as human do.
[D]Cooperation among monkeys remains stable only in the wild. 题型识别:推理题(段落)
题干定位:最后一段
思路解析:段落推理题需要将四个选项和原文进行逐一比对,优先考虑和段落的观点以及转折处相关的选项。
选项分析:A最后一段第一句:研究表明像人一样,猴子也是受社会情绪引导的。由此可知猴子是不需要训练产生社会情绪的,这是猴子天生就会的。C在表达自我情绪的开放程度上,文章没有对人和猴子进行比较。D错误的原因:文中明确表示合作稳定的前提是公平而不是在野外。B对应最后一段转折。句式分析后简化为:such
a sense of fairness evolved from where is an unanswered question。human
indignation对应such a sense of fairness, an uncertain source对应is an unanswered
question,很完美的同义替换。
很多人不知道考研英语阅读理解的文体到底是什么,可以明确的是,是议论文,哪怕是科普性的文章也是侧重对文中观点进行考查。在阅读的标准化试题中,我们都可以把阅读分为三个部分:原文、题干和选项。原文是解题的依据,题干是解题的路标,选项是解题的关键。
