Sme languages are rapid-fire and thers mre unhurried but there is n difference in the speed at which infrmatin is shared,accrding t the new research.
The wrld’s 7000 r s languages differ greatly nt nly in their range f available phnemes—the units f sund that make up speech,but als in the pace at which these building blcks are thrwn tgether in speech.But the new research int the infrmatin cntent in speech shws that languages allw their speakers t cmmunicate abut the same amunt f infrmatin per secnd despite wide variatins in the speed f speech.
T understand this better,researchers led by Christphe Cupé frm the University f Lyn and Yn Oh frm the University f Canterbury studied recrdings f 170 native adult speakers f 17 Eurpean and Asian languages.Each speaker read a set f standardized texts cntaining abut 240,000 syllables(音节).The researchers fund that the fastest language hit 9.1 syllables per secnd,and the slwest a mere this was cancelled ut by the amunt f infrmatin,measured in bits,that each syllable cntained.This varied significantly frm 4.8 bits per syllable fr Basque t 8.0 bits per syllable fr Vietnamese.
The study fund languages that pack a lt f infrmatin int sunds and syllables tend t be spken mre slwly,while thse with a lw infrmatin density(密度) are delivered mre rapidly.While speech rate and infrmatin density fluctuate(波动) widely,the infrmatin rate—the speed at which infrmatin is delivered—stays cnsistently arund 39.15 bits per secnd.
The researchers say this appears t represent a ptimal(最佳的) rate fr giving and receiving infrmatin.Languages seem t stably inhabit an ptimal range f infrmatin rates,away frm the extremes that can still be available t individual speakers.Of curse,nt everybdy speaks at the ptimal infrmatin rate.We all knw peple wh talk t quickly r slwly,and the new research may cast light n why we find listening t them hard wrk.

答案与解析
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Jhn Hayes教授对于成为顶级精英所需时间的研究。通过分析莫扎特、毕加索等大师的作品,Hayes发现几乎所有杰作都是在创作者生涯的第十年后诞生的,强调了“十年沉默期”的重要性。
16.F 上文“Hw lng des it take t becme an elite(精英) in yur field?”以及下文“That’s what Jhn Hayes,a cgnitive psychlgy prfessr at Carnegie Melln University,wanted t knw.”说明Jhn Hayes想要知道需要多久能成为所在领域的精英。空处和上文并列提出关于精英的问题,并引出下文。F项“成功人士与我们其他人有什么不同之处?”符合语境。
17.C 上文“Fr decades,Hayes has been investigating the rle f effrt,practice and knwledge in tp perfrmers.”说明Hayes教授多年研究顶尖表演者所付出的努力、练习和知识的作用。空处顺接上文,继续说明他的研究特点或范围,并引出下文。C项中的He指代上文中的Hayes,“the mst talented creatrs”和下文中的“peple like Mzart and Picass”相呼应,所以C项“他研究了历史上最有才华的创作者。”符合语境。
18.D 设空处下文说明本段主要介绍了Jhn Hayes研究了世界级表演者,以及如何利用这些见解实现目标。所以D项“Hayes的研究始于考察成功的作曲家”符合语境,适合引出本段,该项中的“by examining successful cmpsers”和下文中的“He analyzed thusands f musical pieces”相呼应。
19.G 上文“Hayes mapped ut the timeline f each cmpser’s career.”说明Hayes绘制了每位作曲家的职业生涯时间线。空处顺承上文,进一步描述他之后的分析步骤。G项中的they 指代上文中的“cmpsers”,说明Jhn Hayes计算了作曲家们创作流行作品之前工作了多长时间。所以G项“然后他计算了他们创作流行作品之前下了多长时间功夫。”符合语境。
20.E 上文“Nt a single persn prduced incredible that became ppular.”说明几乎所有“杰作”都是在作曲家职业生涯的第十年后产生的。空处对前面的现象进行总结性命名。E项中的“this perid”指代上文中的“wrk fr at least ten years befre he prduced smething that became ppular”,所以E项“Hayes教授开始将这段时期称为‘十年沉默期’。”符合语境。故选E项。
