Passage One
听力原文
Scientists often use specialized jargon terms while communicating with laymen. (9) [Most of them don’t realize the harmful effects of this practice. In a new study, people exposed to jargon when reading about subjects like autonomous vehicles and surgical robots later said they were less interested in science than others who read about the same topics, but without the use of specialized terms.] They also felt less informed about science and less qualified to discuss science topics. It’s noteworthy that it made no difference if the jargon terms were defined in the text. Even when the terms were defined, readers still felt the same lack of engagement as readers who read jargon that wasn’t explained.
The problem is that the mere presence of jargon sends a discouraging message to readers. Hillary Shulman, the author of the study, asserts that specialized words are a signal. Jargon tells people that the message isn’t for them.
There’s an even darker side to how people react to jargon. (10) [In another study, researchers found that reading scientific articles containing jargon led people to doubt the actual science.] They found the opposite when a text is easier to read. Then people are more persuaded. Thus, it’s important to communicate clearly when talking about complex science subjects. This is especially true with issues related to public health, like the safety of new medications and the benefits of vaccines.
(11) [Shulman concedes that the use of jargon is appropriate with scientific audiences. But scientists who want to communicate with the general public need to modify their language—they need to eliminate jargon.]
10. What do researchers find about people reading scientific articles containing jargon terms?(关于人们阅读含有专业术语的科普文章,研究人员发现了什么?)
解析:B。录音中间提到,另外一项研究发现,阅读含有术语的科普文章会导致人们怀疑真正的科学。B项中的the actual science为原词复现,disbelieve是对录音中doubt的同义替换,因此选B。
错项排除:A、D 两项利用录音中提到的communicate 和complex 进行干扰,但录音中是说科学家谈论复杂的科学问题时要清晰地沟通,这既不是A 项读者阅读的目的,也无法说明读者可以因此明白科学的复杂性,故A、D 两项均可排除。C项的respect 在录音中无依据,故排除。
