科学研究发现，人会根据听到的语速无意识的进行模仿。今天的新托福阅读特训资料就来讨论这个现象。
Research shows that people change the speed at which they speak to more closely match speech they have just heard. They don’t imitate each other exactly, but they get sort of pulled in one direction or another, depending on whether a person speaks slowly or quickly.
Scientists say that while it makes sense that musicians adapt their tempos, being that they are trained to do so, it’s not clear why speakers do it. After all, we don’t have to speak at the same tempo in order to understand each other.
What’s more is that when asked to repeat a sentence they heard from a recording, the subjects in this research inserted pauses in the same places where the recording they heard inserted pauses. They did this without being directed to mimictempo or pauses.
In order to better understand these findings and to test them out in real interactions, scientists intend to study unscripted, casual conversation.
以上就是今天小编提供的阅读材料。托福阅读还是要多做多读，在阅读中不要忘记把那些精彩的句子背下来充实自己的写作哦！
