2016考研英語備考啟動已經有一些時日，考生們在學習中一定會發現，阻礙正確率前行道路的障礙中，長難句是一塊重要的“絆腳石”。都教授套用一句老掉牙的廣告：我們的目標是沒有長難句！每天積累一點點，讓長難句不再變難。下面我們就讓我們跟隨都教授的腳步，來一起學習。

PART 1

The idea that some groups of people may be more intelligent than others is one of those hypotheses that dare not speak its name . But Gregory Cochran is prepared to say it anyway . He is that rare bird , a scientist that some diseases not previously thought to have a bacterial cause were actually infections , which aroused much controversy when it was first suggested , Even he , however , might tremble at the thought of what he is about to do .

【閃光詞組】

獨立于任何機構：work independently of any institution

普及該觀點：popularize the idea

引起很大爭議：arouse much controversy

一想到……就害怕得身體顫抖：tremble at the thought of ...

與眾不同的人：rare bird

【實例應用】

The idea that some groups of people may be more intelligent than others is one of those hypotheses that dare not speak its name.

有些人群就是比其他人聰明，這個觀點是那些不敢公開的假說的其中一個。

PART 2

Research on animal  intelligence also makes us wonder what experiments animals would perform on humans if they had the chance. Every cat with an owner , for instance , is running a small-scale study in operant to determine the limits of our patience , ,our faithfulness , our memory for terrain.They would try to decide what intelligence in humans is really for , not merely how much of it there is . About all , they would hope to study a fundamental question: Are humans actually aware of the world they live in ? So far the results are inconclusive .

【閃光詞組】

做實驗：perform experiments

進行小規模研究：run a small-scale study

確定我們的耐心的限度：determine the limits of our patience

迄今為止：so far

結果沒有定論：results are inconclusive

【實例應用】

Research on animal intelligence also makes us wonder what experiments animals would perform on humans if they had the chance .

它更需要維持，消耗的燃料更多，而且在其起跑線出發的也慢，因為智力的獲得不是靠本能而是靠學習，靠漸進的學習。

學習需要持之以恒，每天收獲一點點，日積月累知識就會開放出神奇的花朵。在2016考研備考的黃金期，希望各位考生能夠打牢基礎，向著最后的決戰沖鋒。預祝各位考生金榜題名，取得理想佳績！
