Part Ⅱ 高考同源研探
(2023·新课标Ⅰ卷阅读D)
On March 7,1907,the English statistician Francis Galton published a paper which illustrated what has come to be known as the “wisdom of crowds” effect.The experiment of estimation he conducted showed that in some cases,the average of a large number of independent estimates could be quite accurate.
This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people make errors,those errors aren’t always the same.Some people will tend to overestimate,and some to underestimate.When enough of these errors are averaged together,they cancel each other out,resulting in a more accurate estimate.If people are similar and tend to make the same errors,then their errors won’t cancel each other out.In more technical terms,the wisdom of crowds requires that people’s estimates be independent.If for whatever reasons,people’s errors become correlated or dependent,the accuracy of the estimate will go down.
But a new study led by Joaquin Navajas offered an interesting twist (转折) on this classic phenomenon.The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into smaller groups that were allowed to have a discussion,the averages from these groups were more accurate than those from an equal number of independent individuals.For instance,the average obtained from the estimates of four discussion groups of five was significantly more accurate than the average obtained from 20 independent individuals.
In a follow-up study with 100 university students,the researchers tried to get a better sense of what the group members actually did in their discussion.Did they tend to go with those most confident about their estimates Did they follow those least willing to change their minds This happened some of the time,but it wasn’t the dominant response.Most frequently,the groups reported that they “shared arguments and reasoned together.”Somehow,these arguments and reasoning resulted in a global reduction in error.
Although the studies led by Navajas have limitations and many questions remain,the potential implications for group discussion and decision-making are enormous.
32.What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A.The methods of estimation.
B.The underlying logic of the effect.
C.The causes of people’s errors.
D.The design of Galton’s experiment.
33.Navajas’ study found that the average accuracy could increase even if .
A.the crowds were relatively small
B.there were occasional underestimates
C.individuals did not communicate
D.estimates were not fully independent
34.What did the follow-up study focus on
A.The size of the groups.
B.The dominant members.
C.The discussion process.
D.The individual estimates.
35.What is the author’s attitude toward Navajas’ studies
A.Unclear. B.Dismissive.
C.Doubtful. D.Approving.
思维建模
揣摩段落大意
有时,作者可能不直接给出主题句,而是通过各种方法暗示给读者,这就需要读者充分发挥想象力与判断力,揣摩段落大意。
以例示法(如32题)
第一步:细揣摩,概括段意
作者在此段中没有给出主题句,需要我们揣摩其段意。本段解释了“群体智慧”效应背后的逻辑,特别是从人们在做估算时的错误出发,说明这些错误如何在群体中互相抵消,进而产生较为准确的结果。
第二步:析选项,斟酌判断
A 本段的重点不是描述具体的估算方法,而是在解释估算准确性的原理和逻辑。
B 本段的确是在解释“群体智慧”效应的基本逻辑。因此,B选项准确反映了第2段的核心内容。
C 虽然段落提到了人们在估算中的一些倾向,比如高估或低估,但段落的重点并不是分析人们犯错的具体原因,而是解释这些错误如何被抵消。
D 第2段没有提及高尔顿实验的设计细节,而是侧重于解释“群体智慧”效应的基本逻辑。
积阅读单词 垒主题词块
Para.1:statistician n.统计学家;Para.2:independent adj.独立的;Para.3:phenomenon n.现象; Para.4:confident adj.自信的;dominant adj.主导的; Para.5:limitation n.限制 Para.1:average of estimates估计的平均值; Para.3:key finding关键发现;smaller groups更小的组; Para.4:global reduction全局减少; Para.5:potential implications潜在影响
析 长 难 语 句 Para.3:The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into smaller groups that were allowed to have a discussion,the averages from these groups were more accurate than those from an equal number of independent individuals. [句式分析] 这是一个复合句。that引导表语从句,在这个从句中含有when引导的时间状语从句和that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词groups。 [尝试翻译] [语言赏析] 句子采用了对比手法,强调了讨论后的群体与独立个体在估算准确性方面的差异。通过使用more accurate than的比较结构,清楚表达了群体智慧的优势。

We adventured into the forest.Unexpectedly,the temperature began to decrease rapidly,and the weather turned colder than anticipated.Midway through our journey,we encountered a pack of wolves nearby.Instead of panicking,we quickly gathered sticks and leaves to make a fire,using the flames to defend ourselves.The fire not only kept the wolves away but also provided warmth in the cold weather.Despite the danger,no one blamed each other;instead,we worked together to ensure everyone’s safety until we could safely return from our adventurous hike.

However,behind every success for Riley and his family is a story of hardship.On the one hand,Riley had to accept training.He improved his interpersonal skills and developed a positive and optimistic attitude.On the other hand,he worked hard to learn the theory of racing,underwent intensive training and boosted racing skills through frequent competitions.His parents sacrificed a lot to keep him racing.It was expensive.A weekend tournament could cost tens of thousands of dollars,not including travel,food and hotels.Their fund came from some sponsors,donations and commercial sales.
Riley has also made a difference off the track.He launched an education campaign named“Racing with Autism”.He hosted hundreds of presentations,telling kids,teachers and parents about his story.Families with children with autism felt if Riley could do what he was doing,their kids would have a chance too.Riley often tells us he wants to change the world.“I feel very happy and proud of what I’m doing...Because,yes,I’m a racer and yes,I love racing,but I’m doing it to change the world,” he says.“My heart is changing the world.”
