剑4 Test 3阅读答案解析

第27题答案：D

对应原文：D段：People talk abnormally when they know they are being recorded, and sound quality can be poor.

解析：D段中间说到人们知道自己在被录音的时候说话方式会比较奇怪，对应题干中录音对人们谈话方式的影响，因此确定答案。

第28题答案：E

对应原文：E段：Speech is often unclear and ambiguous. Where possible, therefore, the recording has to be supplemented by the observer’s written comments on the non-verbal behaviour of the participants, and about the context in general.

解析：题干中的body language与原文中non-verbal behaviour同义替换，而importance泽宇has to be supplemented对应，因此确定答案为E

第29题答案：C

对应原文：C段：Age, sex, social background and other aspects of identity are important, as these factors are known to influence the kind of language used.

解析：题干内容基本上就是原文句子抽出几个词重新组合，根据social一次比较崇义确定答案。

第30题答案：D

对应原文：D段：A variety of tape-recording procedures have thus been devised to minimise the ‘observer’s paradox’ … This article is from Laokaoya website. Some recordings are made without the speakers being aware of the fact

解析：D段提到了信息提供者自我意识的问题。而原文中的minimise，aware又与题干中的less，self-conscious对应，由此确定答案。

第31题答案：F

对应原文：F段：Linguists also make great use of structured sessions…in which case a restricted set of questions may be used…There are also several direct methods of elicitation

解析：整个F段都是在描述收集数据的各种方式，还是很容易确定答案的。

第32题答案：linguist act(s)

对应原文：B段：when studying their mother tongue, linguists act as their own informants…The convenience of this approach…

解析：根据convenient定位到B自然段，题干中问的是什么作为信息提供者，原文中直接提到了liguists act as their own informants，由此确定答案。

第33题答案：foreign languages

对应原文：B段：…using non-linguists as informants. The latter procedure is unavoidable when working on foreign languages, or child speech.

解析：根据non-linguists as informant定位到具体句子，空与child speech并列，由此确定答案为foreign languages

第34题答案：(poor) quality

对应原文：D段：People talk abnormally when they know they are being recorded, and sound quality can be poor.

解析：根据表格同一行第一列的recording和第二列的claims to be checked定位到D段，空与sound构成修饰关系，根据这一线索到原文中寻找，确定quality是答案

第35题答案：non-verbal behaviour/facial expression(s)

对应原文：E段：A facial expression, for example, can dramatically alter the meaning of what is said. Video recordings avoid these problems to a large extent

解析：根据录像定位到E段，题目中问的是录像可以观察到说话人的什么东西。原文中虽然没有直接提到这一点，但说录像可以避免facial expression导致的错误，因此确定答案。

第36题答案：camera/video camera/recording/video recording

对应原文：E段：Video recordings avoid these problems to a large extent, but even they have limitations (the camera cannot be everywhere)

解析：顺着上一道题目往下寻找，发现limitation与miss certain things对应。从题干中可以推断出空上应该填的是个名词，而只有camera或者video recording填上去可以保证语义通顺。

第37题答案：frequency of usage/usage frequency

对应原文：G段：A corpus enables the linguist to make unbiased statements about frequency of usage

解析：根据corpus定位到G段，comment objectively与unbaised statements同义替换，根据两者的对象确定答案为frequency of usage

第38题答案：particular linguistic feature

对应原文：G段：others are extremely selective, providing a collection of material that deals only with a particular linguistic feature.

解析：顺着上一道题目往下，利用others定位句子。题干上的focus on与deal with同义替换，确定答案为particular linguistic feature.

第39题答案：size

对应原文：G段：the size of the corpus depends on practical factors, such as the time available to collect, process and store the data

解析：根据time定位到句子，空与corpus构成所有格关系，由此确定答案为size。

第40题答案：intuitions

对应原文：G段： …always need to be supplemented by data derived from the intuitions of native speakers of the language

解析：题干中的additional, information, gained分别与原文中的supplemented, data, derived同义替换，由此定位句子。空与后面的内容构成所有格，由此确定答案为intuitions.
