今天的句子:
After 20 years of biologists arguing that most of the human genome must have some kind of function, it now seems that, because of the way evolution works, the vast majority of our DNA has to be useless – a suggestion that contradicts claims from prominent researchers.
思考题:
What can we learn from the text?
(A) The famous scholars are of the idea that the human genome must be functional.
(B) The 20 years study has proved that most DNA of ours is useless for our health.
(C) The claims from famous scholars contradict the function of DNA in evolution.
(D) The new research has proved that the function of useless DNA in human evolution.
词汇突破:
1.genome 基因组
2.evolution 进化
3.majority 大多数
4.contradict 否定;与……矛盾
5.claim 声称;要求
6.prominent 显著的;杰出的
切分:
1.it now seems that the vast majority of our DNA has to be useless.
2.After 20 years of biologists arguing…
3.that most of the human genome must have some kind of function
4.because of the way evolution works
5.a suggestion (that contradicts claims from prominent researchers);
参考译文:二十多年来,生物学家一直认为大部分人类基因组均有一定功能。但现在看起来,因为进化的工作机制,DNA中的绝大多数必须是无用的——这个意见否定了许多杰出研究者的假设。
(也就是说现在的研究结果和生物学家的观点;传统的观点;杰出研究者的观点是相反的。)
思考题:
(A) The famous scholars are of the idea that the human genome must be functional.
这个选项中有一个关键短语:
Be of the idea that = 同意…观点…
prominent researchers= The famous scholars
根据原文可以知道: biologists 的观点= prominent researchers 的观点
而biologists 的观点是:
most of the human genome must have some kind of function
=the human genome must be functional.
所以A选项是完美的同意替换!
这个句子其实讲了两个观点一个是传统的过去的观点,生物学家和杰出的研究者都认同的观点:人类的基因组必须是有一定功能的。还有一个观点是现在的新观点:由于进化的方式,大多数的人类基因是没有用的。
(B) The 20 years study has proved that most DNA of ours is useless for our health.
20年的研究证明的不是DNA是没有用的,而是说一定有用的。偷换,所以排除!
(C) The claims from famous scholars contradict the function of DNA in evolution.
著名学者的观点与进化过程中DNA的功能是相抵触的。
“在进化过程中DNA的功能”在文中并没有谈到,只谈到了由于进化,DNA变得没有用了。
所以是偷换!排除!
(D) The new research have proved that the function of useless DNA in human evolution.
新的研究证明了在人类进化过程中无用DNA的作用。
文中没有谈到“无用DNA的作用”所以排除!
这个题目你得服气,没有什么好说的,要是错了呢点赞点中间记得更牢哦!
明天的句子:
In England the coalition’s controversial Health and Social Care Act 2012 places the health secretary under “an overarching duty to have regard to the need to reduce inequalities between the people of England with respect to the benefits that may be obtained by them from the health service”.
思考题:
What can we learn from the passage?
(A) The act of the social care demands the respect of health care benefits.
(B) The primary duty of the secretary is to shrink the inequality of benefits.
(C)The Social Care Act has caused the controversy about the secretary.
(D)The coalition of England has caused the inequalities of the people.
