▼形合寻读法每日一讲
Everybody loves a fat pay rise. Yet pleasure at your own can vanish if you learn that a colleague has been given a bigger one. Indeed, if he has a reputation for slacking, you might even be outraged. Such behaviour is regarded as“all too human”, with the underlying assumption that other animals would not be capable of this finely developed sense of grievance. But a study by Sarah Brosnan and Frans de Waal of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, which has just been published in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as well.
In the opening paragraph, the author introduces his topic by __________.
[A] posing a contrast
[B] justifying an assumption
[C] making a comparison
[D] explaining a phenomenon
[正确答案] C
[解题思路] 文章的首段首句说到每个人都喜欢涨工资（Everybody loves a fat pay rise），这体现了一种相似性。首段的最后一句中提到it is alltoo monkey, as well，as well这样的字眼暗示前面有与all too monkey相似的信息，即all too human。这里的all too human与all too monkey再一次体现了比较之后得出的相似性，因此选项C正确。
[干扰排除]选项A中的“对比”（contrast）是指将两事物对照所得出的差异，这与文章内容相反，故排除。第四句中出现了假设，然而第五句的转折有否定了这一假设，故排除选项 B。文中提到了人对薪水不公平的不满现象，但是并未就此打住，而是与猴子进行了比较，故排除选项D。
[核心词汇] contrast对比（差异） assumption假设 comparison比较（相似） phenomenon现象 pay工资

[A] illustrate the change of height of NBAplayers
[B] showthe popularity of NBA players in the U.S.
[C]compare different generations of NBA players
