答案解析 (Answers & Analysis)
41. [E] 指代衔接。
【定位】空前一句列举了当今的全球挑战:“climate change, security, sustainable development and health”。[E] 选项开头的 “These issues(这些问题)” 完美指代空前的四大挑战。且 [E] 中提到 stemming climate change 的具体例子,与前文的 climate change 形成词汇复现。
42. [F] 句意转折与复现。
【定位】本题在段首。第二段末尾提出了诸如食品分配等“社会问题(problems are social)”。[F] 选项首句 “Despite these factors, many social scientists seem reluctant to tackle such problems” 承接了上段的“社会问题”。同时,空后一句 “This is a shame(这真遗憾)” 是对 [F] 中科学家“不情愿解决问题(reluctant to tackle)”这一负面态度的情感评价。
43. [D] 逻辑转折与数据呼应。
【定位】空前提到包含关键词“环境变化”或“气候变化”的论文数量 rapidly increased(迅速增加)。[D] 选项以 However 转折,指出 “the numbers are still small(数字依然很小)”,并给出了具体数据 “1600 of the 100000... included one of these keywords”。“numbers” 与前文的“number”呼应,“these keywords” 直接复现。
44. [G] 概念解释与数据衔接。
【定位】空前说“问题未必是可用资金(funding)的数量”。空后紧接着说 “This is an adequate amount(这是一个充足的数字)”。[G] 选项提供了一系列具体的资金百分比数据(4% to 25%; about 15%),正好解释了空后的“This(这个数字)”。
45. [A] 语义顺承与总分结构。
【定位】最后一段讲到欧盟改变了资助方式,意图不是忽视社会科学,而是“完全相反(complete opposite)”。[A] 选项详细阐述了这个“相反的意图”:“The idea is to force social scientists to integrate their work with other categories...(这个想法是迫使社会科学家将他们的工作与其他类别整合...)”,这直接呼应了空后的一句:“That should create more collaborative endeavors(这应该创造更多的合作努力)”。
