朗阁名师孙景楠点评

1. 本次考试难度适中。

2. 整体分析：涉及商业类（P1）、科学类（P2）、艺术类（P3）。

   本场考试题型基本与上场考试相同，第一篇全细节双题型，比较轻松，文章说明性较强，逻辑思路明显；第二篇文章为旧题，唯一的一篇配对题型文章，因为是研究性文章，理解上会花费较多时间；第三篇新题，话题熟悉，全细节题型，灵活运用技巧，能有效提高效率。

3. 主要题型：本次考试配对题型比例较低，集中在了第二篇文章中（段落信息+人名观点）大概为9题左右，summary题型偏多，判断11题，选择4题。

4. 文章分析：第一篇文章主要介绍城市能源紧缺，需要寻找新能源，为此人们进行研究，并投资建立了公司；

             第二篇文章为关于打哈欠的研究，不同研究者给出不同结论；

             第三篇介绍新西兰电影业，并介绍了一名摄影师，与各类演员合作，并且创作了一系列优秀作品；

技巧分析：本文并未出现配对题型，考生应尽可能利用定位法找出答案，细节题型同时出现，考生可以根据顺序原则快速定位答案范围，同时留意三个题型间的关系，如处在中间的判断题，可以根据单选的最后一题出现的位置向后找，可以提高效率；做选择题时需要注意巧妙利用排除法，找出最合适的答案；最后需要注意多选题答案一般涉及文章一部分，根据其出现的位置，可以从文章结尾向前找答案，节省时间。

Passage 2：

题型：填空4+句子完成4+段落信息5

部分参考文章：

A When a scientist began to study yawning in the 1980s, it was difficult to convince some of his research students of the merits of “yawning science.” Although it may appear quirky (诡异) his decision to study yawning was a logical extension to human beings of my research in developmental neuroscience, reported in such papers as “Wing-flapping during Development and Evolution.” As a neurobehavioral problem, there is not much difference between the wing-flapping of birds and the face- and body-flapping of human yawners.

B Yawning is an ancient, primitive act. Humans do it even before they are born, opening wide in the womb (子宫) . Some snakes unhinge their jaws to do it. One species of penguins yawns as part of mating. Only now are researchers beginning to understand why we yawn, when we yawn and why we yawn back. A professor of cognitive neuroscience at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Steven Platek, studies the act of contagious yawning, something done only by people and other primates.

C In his first experiment, he used a psychological test to rank people on their empathic (感情嵌入的) feelings. He found that participants who did not score high on compassion did not yawn back. “We literally had people saying, ‘Why am I looking at people yawning?” Professor Platek said. “It just had no effect.”

F Yawning and stretching also share properties and may be performed together as parts of a global motor complex. But they do not always co-occur—people usually yawn when we stretch, but we don’t always stretch when we yawn, especially before bedtime. Studies by J. I. P ,  G. H. A. Visser and H. F. Prechtl in the early 1980s, charting movement in the developing fetus using ultrasound, observed not just yawning but a link between yawning and stretching as early as the end of the first prenatal trimester  (预产期）.

G The most extraordinary demonstration of the yawn-stretch linkage occurs in many people paralyzed on one side of their body because of brain damage caused by a stroke. The prominent British neurologist Sir Francis Walshe noted in 1923 that when these hemiplegics yawn, they are startled and mystified to observe that their otherwise paralyzed arm rises and flexes automatically in what neurologists term an “associated response.” Yawning apparently activates. undamaged, unconsciously controlled connections between the brain and the cord motor system innervating the paralyzed (瘫痪的) limb. It is not known whether the associated response is a positive prognosis for recovery, nor whether yawning is therapeutic for reinnervation(再生) or prevention of muscular atrophy.

H Clinical neurology offers other surprises. Some patients with “locked-in” syndrome, who are almost totally deprived of the ability to move voluntarily, can yawn normally. The neural circuits for spontaneous yawning must exist in the brain stem near other respiratory and vasomotor centers, because yawning is performed by anencephalic(无脑畸形) who possess only the medulla oblongata (脊髓延髓). The multiplicity of stimuli of contagious yawning, by contrast, implicates many higher brain regions.

考试预测

1. 2018年第儿场考试，难度中等，目前为止题型变化不大，但考生要注意，针对全细节题的文章，要尽量多拿分。在接下来考试中，出题风格会延续，但考生要注意有可能出现大量配对题型集中的情况，对阅读能力不足和没有足够刷题经验的考试着实是个考验。

2. 下场考试的话题可能有关教育类，科学类，传记类。

3. 重点浏览2015年机经。
