此题大家选什么? 我选A,但另有版本答案是C
Which of the following most logically completes the argument??
When people engage in activities that help others, their brain releases endorphins, the brain’s natural opiates, which induce in people a feeling of well-being. It has been suggested that regular release of endorphins increases people’s longevity. And a statistic on adults who regularly engage in volunteer work helping others shows that they live longer, on average, than adults who do not volunteer. However, that statistic would be what we would expect even if volunteering does not boost longevity, because .
A) in the communities studied, women were much more likely to do regular volunteer work than men were, and women tend to live longer than men do.
B) the number of young adults who do regular volunteer work is on the increase the feelings of well-being induced by endorphins can, at least for a time, mask
C) the symptoms of various conditions and diseases, provided the symptoms are mild.
D) it is rare for a person to keep up a regular schedule of volunteer work throughout his or her life
E) Some people find that keeping a commitment to do regular volunteer work becomes a source of stress in their lives.
我的想法:
当人们从事帮助他人的活动时,他们的大脑会分泌一种叫endorphins的物质,它是一种天然吗啡,可以在人体内产生一种“欣快感”。已有意见称定期分泌的endorphins可以延长人的寿命。而且一项统计称定期从事志愿工作去帮助他人的那些人活得更长一些。但是,即使那些志愿者的寿命不因此延长,我们也仍然会预期那此统计的结果出现。因为:
A 说:社区调研显示,女人比男人更愿意去做志愿者(也就是说志愿者中,女人比男人多,女人的状况更有代表性),而女人本来就比男人的寿命要常(所以即使不是由于Endorphins 的作用,以女人为代表的志愿者人群的寿命也会比较长。)
选A
我也来讨论一下
文章要求就“对志愿者的统计数字并不说明他们长寿”做出解释
A虽然说了女人和男人的比较,但是并不能引申到做志愿者也不一定长寿
反而说女人愿意做志愿者,而且女人做志愿者比例大,这样的话,总体人群的长寿可能性不是更大吗?
而C意思说在不同条件,疾病下,这个因为做志愿者而让人长寿的物质就比较mild了。
罗门弄技了
还是觉得A比较好
C是不是不完整啊~
弄一下小斧头。
题中的2个现象。题目要求对这两种略微矛盾的现象给出解释。
1。 经常帮助别人的比不经常的活的长。
2。虽然长乐,但这种寿命的延长并没有显著的增加。
A是仅对1进行了论述,可以看成是对一的一个弱的加强,但它没有解释2。而且,A比较more likely to volunter和 less likely to,和原文的regularly和nor regularly好像不太一样,至少我感觉不是很爽 。
B我读不懂,既然5个选项中没有无关选项,基于ETS对无关选项的热爱,我暂且认为它是无关。
C,一看就爽,他因导致。虽然句子语法好像不太通,但是ETS更爱它。
D,题目是regularly 和长寿的联系,既然D说的是rare regular, 它是out of scope.
E,惋惜呀,本来挺好一个答案,可是那个some。。。。。而且,E是indirect,原文没有提及under stress和寿命的关系。
open for discussion!
弄一下小斧头。
看2楼的帖子,有两个感觉,一对题意的理解好像不是很全,二可能掺进了个人的主观联想。题中提到现象的区别在于,live longer和boost longevity.我对你说的女人比男人的寿命就长感到很大困惑,不但没在原题中找到类似信息,而且个人感情受到了很大刺激因为我是男性。
二楼所说的女人寿命比男人长是从选项A里面说的。
呵呵。谢谢楼上,以改过。你说ETS咋那样,干啥说人家短寿呢
但问题中说的是
that statistic would be what we expect 就算他们没有真的长寿
而不是说that result之类的
所以我的理解是: 因为本来就是女比男长寿,又因为女的志愿者比男志愿者多,所以不管做好事有没有使人长寿,那个“志愿者平均寿命比非志愿者平均寿命长的数据”would be what we would expect.
more discuz plz..
同意楼上兄台!
我觉得现在的分歧在于队最后一句话的理解,
that statistic would be what we would expect even if volunteering does not boost longevity
到底because是解释would be 还是解释does not boost?
that statistic would be what we would expect even if volunteering does not boost longevity, because
即使志愿者不更长寿,我们也能得到这样的统计数据,因为_______________
我虽然不倾向于选A,但是我也看不懂C的语法结构是什么??
C)the symptoms of various conditions and diseases, provided the symptoms are mild.
谓语是PROVIDED还是ARE??不懂,哪位NN解释一下,谢谢!
that statistic would be what we would expect even if volunteering does not boost longevity, because
即使志愿者不更长寿,我们也能得到这样的统计数据,因为_______________
应该是 即使“志愿行为”不导致长寿。。。。。。
恩,对!马虎了...随便看了一眼就往上写了,sorry
即使志愿行为不导致长寿,我们也能得到这样的统计数据...
注意这里一个however,也就是说后面的内容和前面是不一样的,就是说试验结果不能证明help others导致长寿。而A答案却在进一步加强however前面的结论。所以A不对。
但是however后面说了,虽然不能证明能够导致长寿,但是还是可以得到the result we expect,也就是说help others (做志愿者)还是有好处的.C就是说了好处就是生病症状也mild一些,虽然不能证明长寿。
我支持C
有一个问题:文章说 however, the statistic would be what we would expect, 说数据会像我们所希望的那样,可这个数据statistics到底指的是什么?根据原文是说:数据就是表明做公益活动的人要活得长。
如果是想楼上说的那样,statistic(实际上就是原文的结论)等同于result we expect,这个result指的是公益活动对人有好处?原文哪里体现了这一点呢?
想问问原文想要论证的结论到底是什么?
我觉得全文要说明的就是这点:When people engage in activities that help others, their brain releases endorphins, the brain’s natural opiates, which induce in people a feeling of well-being.(也就是助人为乐的时候,释放endorphines,让人感觉well-being.)
然后说有假设说endorphine越多,就越长寿(也就是说help others就长寿)。然后说了一个statistics来支持这个假设。但是作者最后说,就算help others不能直接导致长寿,也能产生我们所expect的结果(我们expect的是什么呢?就是文章的结论了,我们expect的就是第一句话,help others可以让people feel well-being)。那么C就是我们expect的,除了长寿外的可能结果。
哦,我好罗嗦!
罗门弄技一把:
原文的结论是“It has been suggested that regular release of endorphins increases people’s longevity”
其实最后一句“the statistic would be what we would expect”,我理解为这些统计一样能证明上面这个结论,
也就是说,即便志愿者活动不能体现出长寿,我们一样能够得出公益活动有益长寿,
我觉得C隐含了,志愿者们可能各种情况不同,有“疾病什么的”,这些复杂的情况抵消了志愿者活动效果
C的意思确实有点难缠。
