点 击 上 方 ' 沪 江 考 研 ' 马 上 关 注首先补充一下昨天题目： [D] fail to reflect the true state of economy补充：很多同学对D这个选项不理解; 先翻译：[D] fail to reflect the true state of economy没有能反应出真实的经济状况 试着比较一下吧：1. 数据让人感到泄气;2. 数据没有反应真实情况;这两个说法是不能划等号的。 迷惑性在于同学们会不自觉的这样想：数据没有反应真实情况，所以数据感到泄气。但是错误在于：文章中没有说数据没有反应真实情况啊！我们不能自己生产答案啊！所以D选项是NOT GIVEN! 再提醒一下：这里还有一个难点是定位的问题，题干中的定位信息其实很模糊，很难定位;所以要四个选项一一比对。 最新补充： There is, as Robert Rubin, the treasury secretary, says, a “disjunction” between the mass of business anecdote that points to a leap in productivity and the picture reflected by the statistics. 还有同学不好好分析这句话的主干，我不知道是15年的考生还是14的考生，这是我长难句收录的66句话；还是强调要仔细分析主干~ 解析 ：There is a “disjunction” between the mass of business anecdote and the picture.商业传奇和事实之间有脱节 什么样的商业传奇： that points to a leap in productivity 认为生产力发生飞跃的传奇。
什么样的事实： reflected by the statistics数据反映的。
生产力发生飞跃的商业传奇与统计数字所反映的情况之间存在着一种“脱节”。数字反映的情况是不是真实我们不知道，但是从这些数据反映的情况来看，人们认为的商业传奇是不存在的。 今天的题目也有定位的问题，一定耐心读完四个选项，同时，答案改写的方式也很有意思，答案琢磨一下。 Scientists have found that although we are prone to snap overreactions, if we take a moment and think about how we are likely to react, we can reduce or even eliminate the negative effects of our quick, hard-wired responses. Snap decisions can be important defense mechanisms; if we are judging whether someone is dangerous, our brains and bodies are hard-wired to react very quickly, within milliseconds. But we need more time to assess other factors. To accurately tell whether someone is sociable, studies show, we need at least a minute, preferably five. It takes a while to judge complex aspects of personality, like neuroticism or open-mindedness. 31. The time needed in making decisions may____.[A] vary according to the urgency of the situation[B] prove the complexity of our brain reaction[C] depend on the importance of the assessment[D] predetermine the accuracy of our judgment 重点词汇: snap decision 仓促的决定are prone to = be likely tohard-wired 固有的 解析：第二段But前：判断敌人时，做决定时需要的时间短一些 But后：判断人的性格时，做决定时需要的时间长一些答案A：做决定的时候可能由紧急程度而定。为正确答案这种答案给粗的方式在英语一中并不多见，在英语二中出现了，四六级也是常考。再体会一下：和熟人叙旧最好打电话;和生人搭讪最好发邮件; 答案：choices of means of communication vary according to different purposes 点击阅读原文，查看《考研英语每日一句精析（31）》
