Question

15．It can be rude to talk politics over dinner…explicitly at least．But subtle linguistic cues might reveal more than you think about your political views，whether at the dinner table-or on Twitter．"There's a lot of information in the details of our language．"Matthew Purver，a computational linguist at Queen Mary University of London．"The little words we use，the way we join together our sentences，and the kind of interactional patterns，where we react to other people．"
Purver's research team used Twitter as their communications forum，randomly selecting 28，000 users，half of whom clearly followed one political party's Twitter feeds，for example，@GOP，but not the other，for a more or less even split among Republicans and Democrats．Then they analyzed the words in those users'timelines during a two-week period in June 2014．
As you might expect，the tweets of users who followed Republican accounts were a lot more likely to contain words like"obamacare"and"benghazi，"whereas"bridge gate"came up more among Democratic followers．
But the researchers also found that the left-leaners were much more likely to use words like sh#& and fu@$ than were the righties．And whereas Republican followers preferred plural pronouns like"we"or"us，"Democratic followers used more singular pronouns，like"I"or"me．"．
That pronoun use could reflect previous work on how people on the right and left forge their political views．"People on the right end of the political spectrum are more likely to be concerned with group conformity．Whereas people who tend to be on the left are perhaps more likely to see their morals or their values deriving from individualistic ideas，if you like．"The study is in the journal PLoS ONE．
Of course，just following a political account is not proof of political belief．But these findings suggest that algorithms may increasingly be able to read between the lines，detecting nuances in human communication that even we humans can't perceive．
 
29．What is the meaning of"There's a lot of information in the details of our language．"？A
A．Information can be conveyed through the way of word combination，sentence pattern，etc．explicitly or implicitly．
 B．We convey our meaning directly through language．
C．People say what they want．
D．Language is the only way we convey our meaning．
30．What result does Purver's research team find？C
A．Republican followers used more singular pronouns．
B．Democratic followers preferred plural pronouns like"we"or"us"．
C．Republican followers are more likely to be concerned with group conformity．
D．Democratic followers did not care about government issues because they value individuality
31．What preference can pronoun use reflect？B
A．That pronoun use could not reflect people's political views．
B．Democratic followers are more likely to see their morals or their values deriving from individualistic ideas．
C．Either Democratic or Republican followers choose the pronouns at random．
D．Republican followers'political views are on the left because they like to use the word conformity．
32．Which of the following is true？C
A．It's right to talk about politics over dinner．
B．People use Twitter to express their political views explicitly．
C．Humans may not perceive what we convey through language．
D．Linguistics has nothing to do with algorithms．

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了我們用的單詞的習慣和細節(jié)可以反映我們的想法．

解答 29．A 細節(jié)理解題．根據The little words we use，the way we join together our sentences，and the kind of interactional patterns我們用少的單詞，我們一起加入的句子的方式，和互動模式的種類．可知那句話的意思是信息可以通過詞的組合方式，句子模式等方式來表達，或顯式或隱式地表達．故選A
30．C 細節(jié)理解題．根據People on the right end of the political spectrum are more likely to be concerned with group conformity．在政治譜的右端的人更容易關注群體整合．右端表示共和黨，可知研究團隊發(fā)現了共和黨的追隨者更傾向于關注群體整合．故選C
31．B 細節(jié)理解題．根據Whereas people who tend to be on the left are perhaps more likely to see their morals or their values deriving from individualistic ideas而那些傾向于在左邊的人也許更可能看到他們的道德或他們的價值觀，從個人主義的想法．左邊表示民主黨，可知民主黨的追隨者更容易看到他們的道德或他們的價值觀所產生的個人主義的想法．故選B
32．C．細節(jié)理解題．根據But these findings suggest that algorithms may increasingly be able to read between the lines，detecting nuances in human communication that even we humans can't perceive．但這些研究結果表明，算法可能越來越多地能夠讀取之間的線，檢測在人類溝通的細微差別，即使我們人類無法察覺．可知人類可能不知道我們通過語言傳達的東西．故選C

點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
