①何凱文老師 每日一句
今天的句子:
如果給你兩個選擇,一個是現在拿走150元,一個是一個月後拿走180元,你會選哪個?大部分人可能會選擇150元,而放棄一個月後30元的額外收入。這是因為人們傾向於給予當下的考慮更大的權重,即「現時偏差」。類似的認知偏差有很多,被維基百科收錄的就有185種。學者認為,認知偏差是直覺力的不良副產物。一方面人可以通過直覺力快速地根據以往經歷和現實情境作出判斷,及時規避危險。但直覺力以迅雷不急掩耳之速犧牲了理性,導致人們在無需快速決策時也偷懶,訴諸直覺而非努力思考,掉進各種認知偏差的陷阱。因系統提出邏輯謬誤和認知偏差而獲得諾貝爾獎的Daniel Kahneman認為,雖然人們在認知測驗中可因得到相關訓練而提升分數,但本質上這些人性弱點是無法克服的,因為生活不像測驗,測驗中你一直提防著出題人的坑,越測越敏感,越測分越高;而生活中你的對手是自己,你一直在給自己挖坑,越老越自負,越活越糊塗。老鐵,我們太難了!
If I had to single out a particular bias as the most pervasive and damaging, it would probably be confirmation bias. That’s the effect that leads us to look for evidence confirming what we already think or suspect, to view facts and ideas we encounter as further confirmation, and to discount or ignore any piece of evidence that seems to support an alternate view. Confirmation bias shows up most blatantly in our current political divide, where each side seems unable to allow that the other side is right about anything. Confirmation bias plays out in lots of other circumstances, sometimes with terrible consequences.
思考題:
「Confirmation bias」 was singled out by the author mostly because __.
A. it leads us to ignore opposing views
B. it shows up conspicuously in politics
C. it is bad for reaching logical decisions
D. it is the most widespread and harmful

第一句:
If I had to single out a particular bias as the most pervasive and damaging, it would probably be confirmation bias.
切分:
1. If I had to single out a particular bias
2. as the most pervasive and damaging
3. it would probably be confirmation bias
參考譯文:
如果必須找出一個最普遍、破壞性最強的特定偏見,可能就是「證實偏差」了。
第二句:
That’s the effect that leads us to look for evidence confirming what we already think or suspect, to view facts and ideas we encounter as further confirmation, and to discount or ignore any piece of evidence that seems to support an alternate view.
切分:
1. That’s the effect
2. that leads us to look for evidence
3. confirming what we already think or suspect,
4. to view facts and ideas…as further confirmation
5. (that) we encounter
6. and to discount or ignore any piece of evidence
7. that seems to support an alternate view.
參考譯文:這種偏見導致我們尋找證據支撐已有的想法或質疑,將遇到的事實和想法視為進一步的佐證,並貶損或忽略任何似乎支持其他觀點的證據。「
第三句:
Confirmation bias shows up most blatantly in our current political divide, where each side seems unable to allow that the other side is right about anything.
切分:
1. Confirmation bias shows up most blatantly in our current political divide
2. where each side seems unable to allow
3. that the other side is right about anything
參考譯文:「證實偏差」鮮明地出現在當下的政治分歧中,雙方似乎都無法承認對方有任何對的地方。
第四句:
Confirmation bias plays out in lots of other circumstances, sometimes with terrible consequences.
參考譯文:「證實偏差」在許多其他情況下也會發生, 有時會帶來可怕的後果。
「Confirmation bias」 was singled out by the author mostly because __.
作者為何在這麼多認知偏差中把「證實偏差」提出來講?
A. it leads us to ignore opposing views
B. it shows up conspicuously in politics
C. it is bad for reaching logical decisions
D. it is the most widespread and harmful
原文中的第一句的前半句,我們看到「如果必須找出一個最普遍、破壞性最強的特定偏見的話」,反過來說也就是這個偏差因為是最普遍、最有破壞性的,所以被找出來了。答案是D。
問作者為什麼提這件事?
=這件事的特徵是什麼?尤其是最大的特徵是什麼、
尤其題幹還有mostly!
所以D是最佳答案!
不清楚的可以聽語音。
一定聽一下語音!

它來了!它來了!
朱偉老師帶著寫作預測來了!
國慶特輯「考研作文話題預測」C位出道!10月1日至10月8日,我將帶著大家每天打卡今年的作文話題。8篇終極寫作話題預測,每天1個重點話題+1篇預測作文練習+相關話題詞彙+最新外媒新聞素材,帶你快速掌握今年寫作重點話題!
網際網路的普及改變了人們的生活,也帶來了不少新的問題,所以,與網際網路相關的話題是考研英語作文的重點考查內容之一。2009年考研英語漫畫作文反映的主題「網絡的『近』與『遠』」就是其一。英語(二)也有可能以網際網路為背景出題,比如說不同年齡段人們的日均上網時間。
Directions:
In this section, you are asked to write an essay based on the following chart, in which you should
1) interpret the chart and
2) give your comments.
You should write about 150 words on the ANSWER SHEET. (15 points)
#寫作思路#
首段描述相關圖表,在中間段分析為什麼不同年齡段的人的日均上網時間不一樣,也可以分析不同年齡段的人上網的主要目的。在最後一段,考生可以指出,雖然網際網路改變了我們的生活,使生活更方便、快捷,但我們也要合理使用它,避免沉迷於網絡,給自己和他人造成傷害。【開頭段】描述圖表
此柱狀圖顯示了某小區不同年齡段居民的日均上網時間。The bar chart shows the time people of different age groups in a community spend on the Internet per day.具體來說,13-19歲的青少年日均上網時間大約為5小時;21~40歲的人日均上網時間接近8小時;41~60歲和60歲以上的人日均上網時間分別大約為6小時和1小時。To be specific, teengers between 13 and 19 spend around 5 hours per day on the Intenet, while the figure for people between 21 and 40 is almost 8 hours. The 41-to-60-year-olds and the over-60s surf the Intermet for about 6 hours and 1 hour each day respectively.The purposes of surfing the Internet vary according to age. 年輕人主要利用網際網路的即時通信軟體和同齡人聊天,以及關注最新資訊。中年人需要利用網際網路談生意或者做各種各樣的投資。老年人可能會瀏覽網頁,獲取保健信息。Teenagers use the Internet mainly to communicate with their peers via instant messaging apps and to focus on the latest news. The middle-aged need Internet access to deal with business or to make various kinds of investments. Senior citizens may browse websites for health-care information.
instant messaging apps 即時通信軟體儘管網際網路大大滿足了人們的需求,但也可能會降低人們的生活質量。Though the Internet largely satisfies people' needs, it also presents risks that might end up reducing one's quality of life.比如,上網意味著長時間坐在電腦前或盯著手機屏幕,因此人們可能罹患眼疾、頭痛或頸部疾病。如果整天上網的話,最好定時休息。For example, suring online means siting in font of a computer or staring at a cell-phone screen for extended periods of time; as a result, people might suffer from eye conditions, headache, or neck problems. It is better to take regular breaks when spending a whole day online.
extended 長期的;延伸的

In the late 19th century William Morris, a reactionary socialist aghast at the effects of the Industrial Revolution, founded the Kelmscott Press to revive the skill of hand-printing, spawning a movement that thrived in the early 20th century.
reactionary /rɪˈækʃənərɪ/ a.保守的
revive /rɪˈvaɪv/ v.復興
spawn /spɔːn/ v. 引起
本句的主幹為 William Morris founded the Kelmscott Press…。兩個逗號之間的a reactionary socialist aghast at the effects of the Industrial Revolution是同位語,補充說明William Morris。to revive the skill of hand-printing, spawning a movement that thrived in the early 20th century.為不定式作目的狀語。其中movement後是由that引導的定語從句,對其進行修飾。
19世紀末,對工業革命產生的影響感到震驚的保守派社會主義者威廉·莫裡斯為了復興手工印刷技術而創辦了凱姆斯科特出版社,由此催生了一場在20世紀初蓬勃發展。
A study in 2017 by academics at Queen Mary University of London and Sichuan University found that, while men in China were overall less likely than those in Britain to get into fights or beat up other people, they were twice as likely to assault their partners.

On the other, it links these concepts to everyday realities in a manner which is parallel to the links journalists forge on a daily basis as they cover and comment on the news.
另一方面,法律用一種方式把這些概念與日常生活結合在一起,這種方式與新聞記者每天報導和評論新聞時的做法是相同的。
Step one:謂語動詞links, is, forge, cover, comment
Step two: 連接詞which, as, and
1. 句子主幹:it links these concepts to everyday realities,代詞it指代上文提到的law;
2. in a manner 為介詞短語作狀語,翻譯時,可以放在主句之前;
3. which引導的定語從句修飾manner,其主幹是which is parallel to the links,可以重複先行詞manner獨立成句;
4. links後面省略引導詞that的定語從句,修飾the links,即(that) journalists forge on a daily basis。
5. 狀語從句as they…,在翻譯時根據中文的習慣,通常放在句首。
