考研英语核心词汇速成胜经Unit 1
一、真题文章(1994年)
The first and smallest unit that can be discussed in relation to language is the word. In speaking, the choice of words is of the utmost importance. Proper selection will eliminate one source of likely breakdown in the communication cycle. Too often careless use of words prevents a meeting of the minds of the speaker and listener. The words used by the speaker may stir up unfavorable reactions in the listener which interfere with his comprehension; hence, the transmission---reception system breaks down.
Moreover,inaccurate or indefinite words may make it difficult for the listener to understand the message which is being transmitted to him. The speaker who does not have specific words in his working vocabulary may be unable to explain or describe in a way that can be understood by his listeners.
二、译文
与语言相关的,可以讨论的首要的和最小的单位是词。说话时,选词是最重要的。适当的选词可以消除交际过程中可能出现的障碍。用词粗心大意往往阻碍说话人和听话人的思想交流。说话人使用的词汇可能引起听话人的反感,从而干扰其理解。因此,这传输信息——接受信息系统就会中断。
而且,词义不准确或不明确的词使听话人难于听懂传递给他的信息。说话人的常用词汇中如没有详细而精确的词的话,就不可能用听话人能理解的方式进行解释或描述。

一、真题文章
Sleep is divided into periods of so-called REM sleep, characterized by rapid eye movements and dreaming, and longer periods of non-REM sleep. Neither kind of sleep is at all well-understood , but REM sleep is assumed to serve some restorative function of the brain. The purpose of non-REM sleep is even more mysterious .The new experiments, such as these described for the first time at a recent meeting of the Society for Sleep Research in Minneapolis, suggest fascinating explanations for the purpose of non-REM sleep .
For example, it has long been known that total sleep deprivation is 100 percent fatal to rats, yet , upon examination of the dead bodies , the animals look completely normal . A researcher has now cast light on the mystery of why the animals die. The rats develop bacterial infections of the blood , as if their immune systems--the self-protecting mechanism against disease--had crashed.
二、译文
睡眠通常被分为所谓的REM睡眠阶段(REM=rapid eye movement眼睛快速运动)和较长非REM睡眠阶段,前者特点为眼球快速转动并做梦。我们对两种形式的睡眠了解都不多,但是人们认为REM睡眠对大脑起某种康复功能的作用。非REM睡眠的作用更加神秘。最近睡眠研究协会在明尼阿波利斯举行的会议上,专家们首次描述的一些新实验,对非REM睡眠的作用的阐释令人兴奋。
例如,人们早已了解到,完全剥夺其睡眠对老鼠具有100%的致命性,然而,在检查老鼠尸体时,这些动物看上去完全正常。一研究人员已阐明这些动物死亡原因的奥秘。老鼠患血液细菌感染,似乎他们的免疫系统(抵抗疾病的自我保护机制)已崩溃。
