考研人数逐年增加，竞争之激烈使得我们不得不加急复习的日程。众所周知，阅读理解占据了考研英语二100分试卷的一半分值，而考研英语阅读文章大多来自英美国家的主流报刊杂志，所以如果能在日常就多多阅读这些文章，对以后读懂文章做对题目来说会大有裨益。
学习步骤如下：
1.不看汉语译文自己看一遍短文做理解
2.看汉语译文比对自己理解的意思与之出入
3.强化记忆重点单词（以记忆其汉语意思为主）
We're fairly good at judging people based on first impressions, thin slices of experience ranging from a glimpse of a photo to a five-minute interaction, and deliberation can be not only extraneous but intrusive. In one study of the ability she called"thin slicing, " the late psychologist Nalini Ambady asked participants to watch silent 10-second video clips of professors and to rate the instructor's overall effectiveness. Their ratings correlated strongly with students' end-of-semester ratings. Another set of participants had to count backward from 1,000 by nines as they watched the clips, occupying their conscious working memory. Their ratings were just as accurate, demonstrating the intuitive nature of the social processing.
短文翻译
我们很擅长根据从瞥一眼照片到五分钟互动的少量经验中得到的第一印象来评判一个人，而深思熟虑不仅无关紧要，而且会干扰我们的判断。已故心理学家纳里尼·安巴迪在一项名为“薄切片”的能力研究中，要求参与者观看几段 10秒钟的无声视频片段，并对视频中教授们的整体教学效果进行评估。他们的评分与学生的期末评分有很强的相关性。另一组参与者在观看视频时必须从1000开始以9为差值倒数，通过这种方式使他们不能够运用有意识的工作记忆。他们的评分也同样准确，这表明了社交过程的直觉性。

题目解析
36.【解析】由题干关键词“Nalini Ambady’s study”定位至文章第一段第二句，第二句介绍了实验内容，让参与者通过10秒中的短视频对教授们有一个第一印象（文章开头提到），结果他们对于这些教授的评价排名和与教授们接触已久的学生们的排名是一致的, 所以 demonstrating the intuitive nature of the social processing（展示了社交过程的直觉特质），与【C】 the reliability of first impression（第一印象的可靠性）。【A】项：师生互动，无中生有；【B】项：人们记忆的力量，偷换文段论述的话题；【C】项：人们影响他人的能力，无中生有。
