15．It can be rude to talk politics over dinner…explicitly at least．But subtle linguistic cues might reveal more than you think about your political views，whether at the dinner table-or on Twitter．"There's a lot of information in the details of our language．"Matthew Purver，a computational linguist at Queen Mary University of London．"The little words we use，the way we join together our sentences，and the kind of interactional patterns，where we react to other people．"Purver's research team used Twitter as their communications forum，randomly selecting 28，000 users，half of whom clearly followed one political party's Twitter feeds，for example，@GOP，but not the other，for a more or less even split among Republicans and Democrats．Then they analyzed the words in those users'timelines during a two-week period in June 2014．
As you might expect，the tweets of users who followed Republican accounts were a lot more likely to contain words like"obamacare"and"benghazi，"whereas"bridge gate"came up more among Democratic followers．
But the researchers also found that the left-leaners were much more likely to use words like sh#& and fu@$ than were the righties．And whereas Republican followers preferred plural pronouns like"we"or"us，"Democratic followers used more singular pronouns，like"I"or"me．"．
That pronoun use could reflect previous work on how people on the right and left forge their political views．"People on the right end of the political spectrum are more likely to be concerned with group conformity．Whereas people who tend to be on the left are perhaps more likely to see their morals or their values deriving from individualistic ideas，if you like．"The study is in the journal PLoS ONE．
Of course，just following a political account is not proof of political belief．But these findings suggest that algorithms may increasingly be able to read between the lines，detecting nuances in human communication that even we humans can't perceive．

分析 本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了我们用的单词的习惯和细节可以反映我们的想法．
解答 29．A 细节理解题．根据The little words we use，the way we join together our sentences，and the kind of interactional patterns我们用少的单词，我们一起加入的句子的方式，和互动模式的种类．可知那句话的意思是信息可以通过词的组合方式，句子模式等方式来表达，或显式或隐式地表达．故选A
30．C 细节理解题．根据People on the right end of the political spectrum are more likely to be concerned with group conformity．在政治谱的右端的人更容易关注群体整合．右端表示共和党，可知研究团队发现了共和党的追随者更倾向于关注群体整合．故选C
31．B 细节理解题．根据Whereas people who tend to be on the left are perhaps more likely to see their morals or their values deriving from individualistic ideas而那些倾向于在左边的人也许更可能看到他们的道德或他们的价值观，从个人主义的想法．左边表示民主党，可知民主党的追随者更容易看到他们的道德或他们的价值观所产生的个人主义的想法．故选B
32．C．细节理解题．根据But these findings suggest that algorithms may increasingly be able to read between the lines，detecting nuances in human communication that even we humans can't perceive．但这些研究结果表明，算法可能越来越多地能够读取之间的线，检测在人类沟通的细微差别，即使我们人类无法察觉．可知人类可能不知道我们通过语言传达的东西．故选C
点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．
