GRE阅读题目解析:唯科学主义论

2017-05-15 09:10:00来源:新东方在线整理

  P5

  1

  If people are regarded only as machines guided by logic, as they were by some "scientistic" thinkers, rhetoric is likely to be held in low regard; for the most obvious truth about rhetoric is that it speaks to the whole person.

  如果像某些 “ 唯科学主义论 ” 者那样,把人视为单纯被逻辑指引的机器,就容易轻视修辞;因为关于修辞,最显而易见的事实就是它与完整的人交流。

  2

  It presents its arguments first to the person as a rational being.

  修辞作用于一个人,首先基于人有理性。

  3

  Logical argument is the plot, as it were, of any speech or essay that is respectfully intended to persuade people.

  可以说,任何言论或文章中的逻辑论证的用意,都是为了礼貌地说服他人。

  (as it were

  (MWC)

  as if it were so : in a manner of speaking

  (柯林斯高阶)

  You say as it were in order to make what you are saying sound less definite.

  I'd understood the words, but I didn't, as it were, understand he question.

  (Random House Webster's Unabridged Dictionary)

  in a way; so to speak:

  He became, as it were, a man without a country.)

  4

  Yet it is a characterizing feature of rhetoric that it goes beyond this and appeals to the parts of our nature that are involved in feeling, desiring, acting, and suffering.

  此外,修辞还有一个突出的特点,即它能够超越逻辑论证,抵达人性的某些层面,涉及感觉,欲望,表现和忍受。

  5

  It recalls relevant instances of the emotional reactions of people to circumstances-real or fictional-that are similar to our own circumstances.

  它唤起那些与我们自身境遇相似的,对外界的相关情感反应,无论这种情境是真实的还是虚构的。

  9. The passage suggests that the disparagement of rhetoric by some people can be traced to their

  (A) reaction against science

  (B) lack of training in logic

  (C) desire to persuade people as completely as possible

  (D) misunderstanding of the use of the term "scientistic"

  (E) view of human motivation

  选 E

  文中只有句 1 提到了类似于 disparagement 的概念:

  If people are regarded only as machines guided by logic, as they were by some "scientistic" thinkers, rhetoric is likely to be held in low regard ; for the most obvious truth about rhetoric is that it speaks to the whole person.

  好,现在我们找到对修辞轻视的人群了,他们的特点是认为人类只是被逻辑引导的机器,only as machines guided by logic,可以认为这是一种对于人类动机的描述,view of human motivation 。

  所以选 E 。

  For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply

  10. Which of the following states the author's main point about logical argument?

  □A It is a sterile, abstract discipline, of little use in real life.

  □B It is an essential element of persuasive discourse, but only one such element.

  □C It is essential to persuasive discourse because it deals with universal truths.

  选 B

  根据句 2,3:

  It presents its arguments first to the person as a rational being. Logical argument is the plot, as it were, of any speech or essay that is respectfully intended to persuade people.

  A 错在逻辑论证是有用的,作者认为它是用来说服听众的;

  B 正确项;

  C universal truths,陌生信息。
