何凯文每日一句

220段落学习：
①Two paradoxes exist throughout this credibility process.
②First, scientific work tends to focus on some aspect of prevailing knowledge that is viewed as incomplete or incorrect.
③Little reward accompanies duplication and confirmation of what is already known and believed.
前面是第一天的内容，还能回忆起来吗
④The goal is new-search, not re-search.
参考译文：研究的目标是新的“寻找”而不是重复“寻找”。

⑤Not surprisingly, newly published discovery claims and credible discoveries that appear to be important and convincing will always be open to challenge and potential modification or refutation by future researchers.
词汇突破：challenge 质疑
Modification 修改
Refutation 推翻
主干识别：newly published discovery claims and credible discoveries will always be open to challenge and potential modification or refutation by future researchers
其他成分：that appear to be important and convincing 定语
Not surprisingly, 状语
参考译文：那些看起来重要且可信的新发表的发现声明以及可信的发现，总要面对将来研究者的质疑甚至是可能的修改和推翻，这一点不足为奇。

⑥Second, novelty itself frequently provokes disbe lief.
参考译文：第二. 新生事物本身就常常招致怀疑。

最后三句：
⑦Nobel Laureate and physiologist Albert Azent-Gyorgyi once described discovery as “seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought.”
诺贝尔奖获得者，生理学家Albert Azent-Gyorgyi 曾经就把发现描述为“见人之所见，思无人所想”。

⑧But thin king what nobody else has thought and telling others what they have missed may not change their views.
但是想无人所想，并且告诉其他人他们的纰漏未必能改变这些人的看法。

⑨Sometimes years are required for truly novel discovery claims to be accepted and appreciated.
有时，真正的新的发现需要很多年才能被接受和认可。

The World Health Organisation has cleared coffee of causing cancer, but a detailed investigation has found that very hot drinks may be linked to cancer of the oesophagus, or gullet. Coffee was classified as a possible cause of cancer in 1991, but the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which is part of WHO, has now reconsidered the evidence. It carried out a detailed review of the many studies published on the subject and found that coffee drinkers have no reason to worry.
IARC also investigated the herbal drink mate, also known as chimarrão or cimarrón, which is widely consumed in South America, where oesophageal cancer is more common than in other parts of the world. The experts found that mate was not a cause of cancer, but they believe the temperature at which it is drunk probably is –and that other very hot drinks could also be linked to oesophageal cancer.
What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
(A) Some cancers maybe related to the temperature of gullet.
(B) The coffee mate may be the cause of oesophageal cancer.
(C) The reasercher may find some new evidence for cimarrón cancer.
(D) The WHO may find some new cause for the cancer.

(B) The coffee mate may be the cause of oesophageal cancer.
应该是饮品的温度！
(C) The reasercher may find some new evidence for cimarrón cancer. cimarrón cancer 我都不知道这是什么癌症！是我拼凑的！
(D) The WHO may find some new cause for the cancer.
some new cause= the temperature of drink！
同意替换！模糊替换！完美！所以D是正确选项!

Coffee was classified as a possible cause of cancer in 1991, but the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which is part of WHO, has now reconsidered the evidence. It carried out a detailed review of the many studies published on the subject and found that coffee drinkers have no reason to worry.
世界卫生组织已经排除咖啡为致癌物，但详细的调查发现过热的饮料可能与食道或咽喉癌相关。

咖啡在1991年被列为潜在致癌物，但世卫组织分支机构国际癌症研究机构（IARC），现在重新考虑了佐证。

IARC详细审查了很多关于这个主题的研究报告，发现喝咖啡的人没有理由担心。

IARC also investigated the herbal drink mate, also known as chimarrão or cimarrón, which is widely consumed in South America, where oesophageal cancer is more common than in other parts of the world. The experts found that mate was not a cause of cancer, but they believe the temperature at which it is drunk probably
is – and that other very hot drinks could also be linked to oesophageal cancer.
国际癌症研究机构还调查了一种南美地区大量饮用的草本伴侣（也被称为西马伦），因为南美地区的食道癌比世界其它地方更为常见。

专家们发现伴侣并不致癌，但相信饮用的温度可能致癌——其他过热的饮料也与食道癌有关。

今天的句子：
Today, professors routinely treat the progressive interpretation of history and progressive public policy as the proper subject of study while portraying conservative or classical liberal ideas--such as free markets and self-reliance--as falling outside the boundaries of routine, and sometimes legitimate, intellectual
investigation.

the skill and wisdom with which it is interpreted.
昨天句子的解析：
Today, professors routinely treat the progressive interpretation of history and progressive public policy as the proper subject of study while portraying conservative or classical liberal ideas--such as free markets and self-reliance--as falling outside the boundaries of routine, and sometimes legitimate, intellectual investigation.
今天的句子可以这样来理解：
Professors routinely treat A as B (认为A是B)
while 但是
Professors portray C as D （认为C是D）
A= the progressive interpretation of history and progressive public policy
B= the proper subject of study
Ｃ= the proper subject of study while portraying conservative or classical liberal ideas--such as free markets and self-reliance—
Ｄ= falling outside the boundaries of routine intellectual investigation,
and sometimes falling outside the boundaries of legitimate intellectual investigation.
（并列我把并列成分给补全了！）
参考译文：今天的教授们通常会把对于历史的进步的解读已经渐进的公共政策作为恰当的研究对象；而认为保守的或者是经典的自由主义，比如自由市场或者自我的依赖，是在常规的知识探究范畴之外东西，有时甚至认为其是在正当的知识探究范畴外的东西。

参考译文：这些测试在多大程度上为后来的表现所证实，这取决于所采用信息的数量、可靠性和适应性，以及解释这些信息的技能和才智。

前天的句子，有人来追问falling 为什么不翻译
同学你这样问我，就相当于我说：
How old are you 翻译为：你多大了
老师你怎么不翻译how
好嘛，我要是翻译为：怎么老是你。

你是不是感觉很通顺呢
同学是这样的：
falling outside the boundaries of : 连在一起表示：在…的边界（范畴）之外
接着出现了一个并列：
routine, and sometimes legitimate, intellectual investigation.
这个结构是这样的：
Routine intellectual investigation
常规的知识探究
legitimate intellectual investigation
合理的知识探究
在这里就是表示一个递进，表示现在的教授特别看不上conservative or classical liberal ideas，认为这些观点是在常规的知识探究范畴以外的东西，甚至有时认为其是在合理的知识探索范畴之外的东西。

我觉得我很体贴了吧！
（同学们，要提问之前可以听一下我的语音，我在语音中解释的很清楚。

）
我们的认知资源都是有限的，你不经思考的一问，我一当真，彼此的时间就没有得到最大化的利用，且问且珍惜哦！
Falling out of the Today, professors routinely treat the progressive interpretation of history and progressive public policy as the proper subject of study while portraying conservative or classical liberal ideas--such as free markets and self-reliance--as falling outside the boundaries of routine, and sometimes legitimate, intellectual investigation.

《大西洋月刊》是美国最受尊敬的杂志之一，一本有关文学、政治、科学与艺术的杂志，第一期出版于1857年11月。

《大西洋月刊》坚持无党派、无偏见原则，对于任何事物采取一种超然、充满智力性、幽默的、有艺术感的态度。

它拒绝将自己置于任何派系中，但它将永远会与拥戴自由、国家进步、荣誉这种信念的人在一起。

《华盛顿邮报》7日曝光一段共和党候选人特朗普11年前大谈如何引诱女人上床的视频，用辞粗鄙下流。

大西洋月刊就给出了这样的一些文章。

A century ago Octavia Hill launched the National Trust not to rescue stylish houses but to save “the beauty of natural places for everyone
forever.” It was specifically to provide city dwellers with spaces for leisure where they could experience “a
refreshing air.” Hill’s pre ssure later led to the creation of national parks and green belts. They don’t make countryside any more， and every year concrete
consumes more of it. It needs constant guardianship.
27. According to Paragraph 2, the achievements of the National Trust are now
being___
［A］gradually destroyed.
［B］effectively reinforced.
［C］largely overshadowed.
［D］properly protected.

美国选举中选票有两种：
选民票：每一个在美国居住了6个月以上的美国公民都有权利投出的选票。

选举人票：根据人口比例每州有一定的选举人数量。

比如：加利福尼亚州达55张，德克萨斯州38张，纽约州29张，而阿拉斯加、特拉华和怀俄明等每州只有3张；总共538张票；
获得选举人票多数的候选人当选美国总统；
两党候选人在各州拉选票，获选民票多的一方获得该州的全部选举人票；这叫赢者通吃；
这就是选举人票制度；这是美国特有的制度。

优点：
以"州"为选举单位。

这个多数，不是全国范围的"多数"，而是每一个州的选民多数，这样更能保护小州的权益。

这种制度迫使总统候选人不能只看重几个大州，而是看重每一个州，在每一个州获得多数选票。

缺点：
可能出现候选人虽然拿到全国多数选民票数却仍落选的情况，与民主政治的基本原则有所背离。

今天的题目：
The vast consolidation within the rail industry means that most shippers are served by only one rail company. Railroads typically charge such “captive” shippers 20 to 30 percent more than they do when anot her railroad is competing for the business. Shippers who feel they are being overcharged have the right to appeal to the federal government’s Surface Transportation Board for rate relief, but the process is expensive, time-consuming, and will work only in truly extreme cases.
It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that ________.
[A] shippers will be charged less without a rival railroad
[B] there will soon be only one railroad company nationwide
[C] overcharged shippers are unlikely to appeal for rate relief
[D] a government board ensures fair play in railway business
昨天句子的解析：
①A century ago Octavia Hill launched the National Trust not to rescue stylish houses but to save “the beauty of natural places for everyone forever.”
一个世纪以前，奥克塔威亚.希尔发起了国家自然保护组织，目的不是为了拯救那些华丽时尚的豪宅，而是“为所有人永久保留自然美的地方。

”
②It was specifically to provide city dwellers with spaces for leisure/ where they could experience “a refreshing air.”
它专门为城市居民提供了休闲的空间，在哪里市民能体验到“一丝清新空气”。

③ Hill’s pressure later led to the creation of national parks and green belts.
后来，在Hill的呼吁之下，国家公园和绿化带得以建成。

④They don’t make countryside any more，and every year concrete consumes more of it.
而现在，他们不再建设乡村，混泥土每年消耗更多的乡村。

concrete consumes more of it. 混泥土每年消耗更多的乡村
（这句话的意思就是在乡村修建了更多的房屋，占用了乡村绿地。

）
⑤It needs constant guardianship.
乡村需要一直的保护。

27. According to Paragraph 2, the achievements of the National Trust are now being___
［A］gradually destroyed.
［B］effectively reinforced.
［C］largely overshadowed.
［D］properly protected.
建议大家把题干和选项连在一起读。

这样信息才完整！
A. The achievements of the National Trust are now being gradually destroyed.
achievements of the National Trust are now being effectively reinforced.
C The achievements of the National Trust are being largely overshadowed.
D. The achievements of the National Trust are now being properly protected.
这四个句子的主语都是： achievements
定位到第四句：
④They don’t make countryside any more，and every year concrete consumes more of it.
而现在，他们不再建设乡村，混泥土每年消耗更多的乡村。

（concrete consumes more of it. 混泥土每年消耗更多的乡村）
the National Trust的成就就是保护了美丽的乡村；
而现在乡村被盖上了更多的房子；所以这个成就就被破坏了。

强烈的干扰项是：
C. The achievements of the National Trust are now being largely overshadowed.
成就被大规模的遮盖住了。

The achievements are now being largely overshadowed.
只有当一个更牛的成就出现以后才会说之前的成就被遮盖住了。

所以这里是不正确的。

昨天题目的解析：
The vast consolidation within the rail industry means that most shippers are served by only one rail company. Railroads typically charge such “captive” shippers 20 to 30 percent more than they do when another railroad is competing for the business. Shippers who feel they are being
overcharged have the right to appeal to the federal government’s Surface Transportation Board for rate relief, but the process is expensive, time-consuming, and will work only in truly extreme cases.
It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that ________.
[A] shippers will be charged less without a rival railroad
比较结果和原文相反。

不选！
[B] there will soon be only one railroad company nationwide
多数客户由一家公司提供服务，不能说只有一家公司。

[C] overcharged shippers are unlikely to appeal for rate relief
but the process is expensive, time-consuming, and will work only in truly extreme cases.
这就是出题人接受的正话反说！正确答案！
[D] a government board ensures fair play in railway business
Ensure这个词在原文中没有对应信息。

Referendum（全民公投）are supposed to get citizens engaged in politics and make governments responsive. If they worked, Europeans ought to be feeling particularly satisfied with their democracies. For referendums are on the rise. Not counting Switzerland, which has always run lots of them, big plebiscites are three times more common in Europe now than they were in the 1970s. Britain is preparing one on withdrawing from the European Union. Dutch campaigners have just won a referendum against the EU-Ukraine association agreement, and plan to take on EU trade treaties with Canada and America. Italians are to vote on changing their constitution, and Hungarians on the EU’s refugee-sharing scheme.

参考译文：过去的25年间，发生在英文报纸上的所有变化中，影响最为深远的变化可能就是其艺术报道上的范畴和严肃性的不可避免的衰退。

这是传说中的主题句，要是能读的懂下面的题就能做的对！

[A] Newspapers of the Good Old Days
[B] The Lost Horizon in Newspapers
这个选项就是正确选项；
有同学问：艺术评论只是衰退了啊，不是lost消失啊；
同学们一定要好好分析选项啊！
The Lost Horizon in Newspapers
这里的Horizon：景象不是指“艺术评论”，应该是指“艺术评论繁荣”的景象啊。

情侣间写信在过去是很常见的；现在不可避免的减少了。

The lost Horizon in Love
恋爱中消失的风景线；
（这并不是说情侣不写信了，而是写信很普遍的情况消失了。

）
[C] Mournful Decline of Journalism
Journalism 扩大了范围！艺术评论繁荣的景象衰退了！
[D] Prominent Critics in Memory
前天的句子：
Railroads typically charge such “captive” shippers 20 to 30 percent more than they do when another railroad is competing for the business.
这个句子是两个时间点的比较，因为两个时间点是相反的，所以为了简洁就省略了其中一个，很多同学就晕了，这个句子补全应该是这样的。

1）Railroads typically charge such “captive” shippers 20 to 30 percent more （when 没有竞争的时候）
2）than they do when another railroad is competing for the business（有竞争的时候）.
They=railroads; do= charge
（铁路公司在没有竞争的时候会比有竞争的时候多收“被控制的”客户20%到30%。

）

Not counting Switzerland, which has always run lots of them, big plebiscites are three times more common in Europe now than they were in the 1970s.

Dutch campaigners have just won a referendum against the EU-Ukraine association agreement, and plan to take on EU trade treaties with Canada and America. Italians are to vote on changing their constitution, and Hungarians on the EU’s refugee-sharing scheme.
参考译文：全民公投本应让公民参与政治、让政府有效响应。

如果公投起作用，那么欧洲人现在应该会对自己的民主感到特别满意。

因为全民公投有增多的趋势。

不算总是进行公投的瑞士，欧洲的大型公投是20世纪70年代的三倍多。

英国目前正在准备退欧公投。

荷兰的运动人士刚赢得了反对《欧盟与乌克兰联系国协定》的公投，并计划反对欧盟与加拿大和美国的贸易条约。

意大利人要就改变宪法进行公投，匈牙利人要对欧盟的难民共享方案进行表决。

这段的前两句我就读出了作者哀怨的语气：
Referendum（全民公投）are supposed to get citizens engaged in politics and make governments responsive.
全民公投应该让公民参与政治、让政府有效响应。

If they worked, Europeans ought to be feeling particularly satisfied with their democracies.
如果公投起作用，那么欧洲人现在应该会对自己的民主感到特别满意。
