玛丽最近几个月都在健身,而且减肥成功。所以我很担心,她不用放弃不良饮食习惯也能让她的男朋友开心

 

托福考试的出题考官可能都不屑用这样的句子来考你,因为从语言层面上来说它的技术含量很低,怎么出题都显不出他们的高端大气。

 

然而,从表理的层面,这句话其实包含了以下几层信息:

 

1)健身可以减肥

2)坏饮食习惯会导致体重增加

3)健身比良好的饮食习惯更有助于玛丽保持身材

4)玛丽减肥的目的是为了让她男朋友开心

 

当然,从表情的层面,这句话还隐含了以下几个涉及情感投射的信息:

 

1)玛丽的男朋友不喜欢玛丽长胖

2不喜欢玛丽的不良饮食习惯,或者不喜欢玛丽跟男朋友的交往。

 

如果说第一句话是文字中直接描述的,那么第二个信息则完全是因为负面色彩词“worry”传达的。这个worry代表了说话人对这个后果的担忧,有可能出自玛丽的妈妈(担心老这么吃,家都被吃穷了),或者玛丽的情敌(担心玛丽变美以后,自己更没机会把她男朋友撬过来了)。当然,这个还有可能是玛丽她们家楼底下的素菜馆老板,没准还顺便暗恋了一下玛丽姑娘。究竟还有哪些可能,读者可以任凭自己的想象力进行脑补,别忘了,GMAC的出题人很可能就是这么编写CR(逻辑)题的答案的。

Researcher: In stage oneof a study, a group of students from Bosen were asked to finish as many GMATquestions as they could within a fixed time period with their performance beingrecorded. All the questions have equal difficulty and were completely new tothe students.  In stage two, each studentwas asked to compete against an unseen student. The both achievements from thestudent and the competitor were real-time updated and displayed to the student.Unknown to the student, the supposed competitor was merely a recording of thestudent’s stage one performance. Each student won the “competition.” Thissuggests that the drive to win improves testing performance.
