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．

29．What is the meaning of"There's a lot of information in the details of our language．"？A

A．Republican followers used more singular pronouns．
B．Democratic followers preferred plural pronouns like"we"or"us"．
C．Republican followers are more likely to be concerned with group conformity．
D．Democratic followers did not care about government issues because they value individuality
31．What preference can pronoun use reflect？B
A．That pronoun use could not reflect people's political views．
B．Democratic followers are more likely to see their morals or their values deriving from individualistic ideas．
C．Either Democratic or Republican followers choose the pronouns at random．
D．Republican followers'political views are on the left because they like to use the word conformity．
32．Which of the following is true？C

9．Andy rode slowly on his way to school，day-dreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him．He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him．
He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present．He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens．What he saw shocked and terrified him．A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him．

Suddenly，out of the corner of his eyes，he spotted a small dam used by Mr．Nelson to irrigate his vegetable garden．Off his bike and into the cool water he lived，disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects．After holding his breath for as long as he could，Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone．Dragging himself out of the dam，he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell．Mrs．Nelson took him inside and rang his mother．
"You'll really need that fishing break to help you recover，"laughed his mother with relief．"Thank goodness you didn't panic!"But Andy did not hear her．He was dreaming once again of the fish he would catch tomorrow．
