Unit 4 Pygmalion
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2017·山东省济宁市高三期末)
If youre ever reading a book or watching a movie and get the clear feeling that youve come across the story before—or even better, can predict exactly whats going to happen next—there could be a good reason for that.
Researchers from the Computational Story Laboratory at the University of Vermont studied the complete text of some 1,737 fiction works available on Project Gutenberg, an online collection of more than 50,000 digital books in the public area.They discovered that English literature consist of just six kinds of emotional arcs(情感弧线)that make up nearly all of the most well-known stories.By analyzing the sentiment(情感)of language used in these texts, the researchers were able to show the emotional ups and downs for the stories as a whole.They discovered that negative words like“poverty”,“dead”, and“punishment”dragged the emotion down, while positive terms like“love”,“peace”, and“friend”brought it up.
According to the researchers, those six core emotional arcs are:
●“Rags to riches”(An ongoing emotional rise)
●“Tragedy, or riches to rags”(An ongoing emotional fall)
●“Man in a hole”(a fall followed by a rise)
●“Icarus”(A rise followed by a fall)
●“Cinderella”(Rise-fall-rise)
●“Oedipus”(Fall-rise-fall)
Interestingly, based on download statistics from Project Gutenberg, the researchers say the most popular stories are ones that use more complex emotional arcs, with the Cinderella and Oedipus arcs registering the most downloads.Also popular are works that combine these core arcs together in new ways within one story, such as two“Man in a hole”arcs stuck together, or the“Cinderella”are coupled with a tragic ending.
