在2016考研英語的輔導中，都教授一直秉持著這樣一個觀點，那就是真題閃光詞匯+實戰演習=高分英語，的確，真題是考生備考的一大法寶，其中的句子、題型，是最接近考生當年實戰真題的，值得考生仔細深入研究，將真題中的閃光詞匯牢固掌握，同時積極進行實戰演習，是獲取考研英語高分的一個有效訓練方法。下面都教授帶各位考生來一起學習一下。

　　PART 1

　　Research on animal intelligence always makes me wonder just how smart humans are, Consider the fruit-fly experiments described by Carl Zimmer’s piece in the Science Time on Tuesday. Fruit flies who were taught to be smarter than the average fruit fly tended to live shorter lives . This suggests that dimmer bulbs burn longer , that there is an advantage in not being too terrifically bright. Intelligence , it turns out , is a highpriced option.

　　【閃光詞匯】

　　往往活得更短命：tend to live shorter lives

　　比較暗的燈燃燒的時間更長：dimmer bulbs burn longer

　　不特別聰明(明亮)有好處：there is an advantage in not being too terrifically bright

　　高代價的選擇：a high-priced option

　　【實戰演練】

　　Consider the fruit-fly experiments described by Carl Zimmer’s piece in the Science Times on Tuesday.

　　例如Carl Zimmer周二在《科學時代》雜志中發表的一篇表述果蠅實驗的文章。

　　PART 2

　　It turns out that peculiar way of conducting the experiments may be have led to misleading interpretation of what happened . For example , lighting was always changed on a Sunday . When work started again on Monday , output duly rose compared with the previous Saturday and continued to rise for the next couple of days . However , a comparison with data for weeks when there was no experimentation showed that output always went up on Monday. Workers tended to be diligent for the first few days of the week in any case , before hitting a plateau and then slackening off. This suggests that the alleged “Hawthorne effect ”is hard to pin down .

　　【閃光詞匯】

　　證明是：It turns out that ...

　　達到穩定后開始逐漸放松：hit a plateau and then slacken off

　　難以下定論：be hard to pin down

　　產量適時地上升：output duly rose

　　所謂的X效應：the alleged “X effect”

　　【實戰演練】

　　However , a comparison with data for weeks (when there was no experimentation)showed that output always went up on Monday.

　　然而，把幾周以來得出的數據與同期沒有實驗期間的數據相比，結果表明，產量一到星期一就上升。

　　通過都教授今天帶來的高分英語學習方法，希望各位考生都能有效掌握這些閃光詞組，并在實戰演習中不斷獲得提高。知己知彼，方能百戰百勝，希望各位考生能將今天的詞組應用到位。預祝各位考生金榜題名，取得理想佳績!
