Many researchers attribute the large number of physiological and behavioral similarities between birds and mammals, which have separate evolutionary histories, to endothermy (a thermoregulatory strategy whereby warm body temperature is maintained through internal heat sources). However, Farmer argues that parental care rather than endothermy is the key to understanding the similarities between mammals and birds. According to Farmer, while endothermy provides an explanation for a few similarities, such as the presence of body insulation, endothermy is just one characteristic among many related to parental care. The two purported advantages of endothermy that have been most frequently cited by researchers are an expanded range of inhabitable environments and the ability to sustain vigorous exercise. But metabolism has to increase substantially (at great energy cost) therefore conferring any significant thermoregulatory advantage in terms of the former, and there is no causal biological linkage to explain why endothermy would be essential to sustain exercise. Farmer argues instead that endothermy evolved as a means to control incubation temperature and that the ability to sustain exercise evolved separately, as a means to improve a parent’s ability to forage and provision its young.

许多研究人员将鸟类和哺乳动物之间在生理和行为上的大量相似之处归因于吸热(一种通过内部热源维持体温的温度调节策略),这两种动物有着不同的进化历史。
然而,法默认为,理解哺乳动物和鸟类之间的相似之处的关键是父母的关心,而不是吸热。据法默说,虽然吸热学解释了一些相似之处,如身体绝缘的存在,但吸热学只是许多与父母照顾有关的特征之一。
研究人员最常提到的吸热疗法的两个优点是可居住环境的扩大和维持剧烈运动的能力。
但新陈代谢必须大幅增加(以巨大的能源成本),因此在前者方面具有任何显著的温度调节优势,而且没有因果的生物联系来解释为什么吸热对维持锻炼是必不可少的。
相反,法默认为,吸热是作为控制孵化温度的一种手段进化的,维持运动的能力是单独进化的,作为提高父母觅食和哺育后代能力的一种手段。
上面的翻译是直接用电脑完成的,没有做任何修改
大家可以感受一下,自己能不能翻译、理解到这个水平。
如果不能,那说明你的阅读能力还不太够,还需要从单词、长难句等问题进行攻克;
当然,如果你能翻译到上面的这种程度,那现在请作答,根据上面的翻译,这题选什么?
这个时候,我相信,绝大多数的同学都会觉得脑袋瓜嗡嗡的。因为就算翻译出来了,也和选项对应不上,更不用说翻译不出来,该怎么办了。
好了,看我是如何读这篇文章
第1句:观点一,many researchers的观点
第2句:观点二,Farmer 的观点,而这两个观点是对立的关系
第3句:一直到结束,都是在支持Farmer的观点
答案: 选A
体现出了一个观点对另一个观点的反驳。
这就是我授课的内容:教你如何读文章?如何把已读的信息与选项对应?
而不是出现已读,但是不知道怎么选的情况。我始终认为,会翻译文章,不一定能做对题,但是就算读不懂文章,知道题型的逻辑,我们也有可能做对题。
而这些规律性的逻辑和方法是我们在备考过程中,需要学习和了解的。有了这些基础后,verbal拿到高分是水到渠成的。
