1.Please judge what the following statement is doing, descibing or evaluating?
"Several studies reveal that the effectiveness and amount of peer CF provision could be positively influenced by training (Fujii et al., 2016; Sato & Ballinger, 2012; Sato &Lyster, 2012)."
A Describing the results or achievements obtained in those studies.
B Evaluating those studies.
题目解答
答案
该句以“Several studies reveal that...”引出研究结果,核心在于说明培训可正向影响同伴反馈的有效性和数量。句中未涉及对研究质量或方法的评价,仅客观陈述研究发现。因此,此句属于描述研究结果(A),而非评价研究(B)。
答案:A. Describing the results or achievements obtained in those studies.
解析
考查要点:本题主要考查学生对学术写作中描述(description)与评价(evaluation)的区分能力,需判断句子是单纯陈述研究结果,还是对研究本身进行判断或分析。
关键思路:
- 描述(A选项):直接陈述研究发现或数据,不涉及对研究质量、方法或价值的判断。
- 评价(B选项):对研究的可靠性、方法、贡献或局限性进行分析或判断。
破题关键:观察句子是否包含评价性词汇(如“well-designed”“methodologically sound”)或是否对研究本身进行判断,而非仅呈现结果。
句子结构分析:
- 句子以“Several studies reveal that...”开头,表明是汇总已有研究的发现。
- 核心内容:培训(training)对“peer CF provision”的有效性(effectiveness)和数量(amount)有正向影响。
- 引用文献:通过列举具体研究(Fujii et al., 2016等),进一步确认这是对已有结果的客观陈述。
选项对比:
- A选项(描述结果):句子仅陈述“培训影响反馈效果”这一结论,未涉及对研究本身的优劣评价。
- B选项(评价研究):若句子包含“这些研究设计严谨”或“数据支持性不足”等判断,则属于评价,但本句无此类表述。
