GMAT RC:實戰 「預測考點」與「架構分析」範例
在 GMAT 閱讀測驗中,理解文章的結構和作者的論證方式是掌握 GMAT 閱讀預測考點 的關鍵。Most attempts by physicists to send particles faster than the speed of light involve a remarkable phenomenon called quantum tunneling, in which particles travel through solid barriers that appear to(5) be impenetrable. (專有名詞後配修飾語定義:可能考細節題)就像你丟球到牆上,預期它會彈回來而非穿透過去一樣,理解這種基本物理現象的類比,能幫助我們更好地分析文章。(類比/舉例:可能考作用題)然而,次原子粒子卻能做到類似的「穿牆」行為。(看到Yet 轉折關鍵字先判斷有無態度上的轉換:這邊沒有,只是在做對比)(對比考相同相異)量子理論指出,一個粒子有明確(儘管機率很小)的機率能穿透屏障;(出現「理論」,可能考細節題)這個機率會隨著屏障厚度增加而呈指數下降。(出現thickness 跟probability的線性關係:可能考推論題)

Though the extreme rapidity of quantum tunneling was noted as early as 1932, not until 1955 was it hypothesized—by Wigner and(15) Eisenbud —that tunneling particles sometimes travel faster than light. (看到though 讓步關鍵字先判斷有無態度:這邊沒有,只是在做事實的對比)(對比考相同相異)(兩個以上的年代出現:可能考細節題)(看到人提出想法:「W跟E hypothesized」,可能會考何者為真題:W.E.會認同下列何敘述)透過精準的 GMAT 閱讀架構分析,我們可以預判學者W與E的假說。他們的論證基礎是計算結果顯示,粒子穿透屏障所需的時間會隨著屏障厚度增加而增加,直到穿隧時間達到最大值;超過該最大值後,無論屏障厚度如何,穿隧時間都保持不變。這意味著一旦達到最大穿隧時間,穿隧速度將隨著屏障厚度增加而無限增加。Their grounds were calculations that suggested that the time it takes a particle to tunnel through a barrier increases with the thickness of the barrier until tunneling time(20) reaches a maximum; beyond that maximum, tunneling time stays the same regardless of barrier thickness. This would imply that once maximum tunneling time is reached, tunneling speed will increase without limit as barrier thickness(25) increases. (看到tunneling time與barrier thickness的線性關係:可能考推論題)

Several recent experiments have supported this hypothesis that tunneling particles sometimes reach superluminal speed. According to measurements performed by Raymond Chiao and colleagues, for example, photons can pass through(30) an optical filter at 1.7 times the speed of light. (證據、舉例:考作用)
