定位原文:scripts:
A:We've also turned a few storerooms over to other purposes, like using them for meetings.
B:We‘ve replaced them with larger seats, with more legroom. This means…
解题思路:11和12问的是目前在theatre翻新期间,有哪两项改变。A项的have a different use 同义于原文的 other purpose;B项的 a different type of seating 同义与原文的replaced them with larger seats,with more legroom 这个表达,所以此题答案选A和B。
Question 13 & Question 14
答案:B D (in either order)
定位原文:scripts:
B:One way is by organizing backstage tours, so people can be shown round the building and learn how a theatre operates. These are proving very popular. What we‘re finding is that people want to have lunch or a cup of coffee while they’re here.
D:We have a bookshop, which specializes in books about drama, and that attracts plenty of customers.
解题思路:13和14题问的是目前theatre 向公众提供了哪两项设施。B 的backstage tours 是用These are proving very popular间接表达出来的;D项的a book shop 是用attracts plenty of customers间接表达出来的。
Question 15 & Question 16
答案:C E (in either order)
定位原文:scripts:
C:A surprise success is the workshop on making puppets - we happen to have someone working here who does it as a hobby, and she offered to run a workshop. It was so popular we're now running them every month!
E:and our lighting workshop has already started, with great success.
解题思路:15和16题问的是theatre 目前提供了哪两个workshop。C项目的making puppets 很容易听出来,E项的lighting 也说明了has already started with great success。
Question 17
答案:G
定位原文:scripts:
Standing here in the foyer, you're probably wondering why the box office isn't here, where the public would expect to find it. Well, you might have noticed it on your way in - although it's part of this building, it's next door, with a separate entrance from the road.
解题思路:box office 的位置,next door,with a separate entrance from the road,符合这个要求的只有G.
Question 18
答案:D
定位原文:scripts:
For the theatre manager's office, you go across the foyer and through the double doors, turn right, and it's the room at the end of the corridor, with the door on the left.
解题思路:剧院经理办公室的位置。越过foyer,所以应该是在图的上半部分,而且要穿过double doors再向右拐,在走廊的底端,G已经选了,只能选D。
Question 19
答案:B
定位原文:scripts:
The lighting box is where the computerized stage lighting is operated, and it's at the back of the building. When you're through the double doors, turn left; turn right at the water cooler, and right again at the end. It's the second room along that corridor. The lighting box has a window into the auditorium, which of course is below us.
解题思路:lighting box的位置。At the back of 决定了A、B、C可能是备选项,穿过double doors后向左,排除C,在water cooler处还向右转;second room along that corridor 又决定了只能选B。
Question 20
答案:F
定位原文:scripts:
The artistic director's office is through the double doors, turn right, and it's the first room you come to on the right-hand side. And finally, for the moment, the room where I'll take you next -the relaxation room.

剑桥雅思11Test 2听力答案解析Section 3
Question 21
答案:A
定位原文:scripts:
COLIN: I just put something about getting experience of the different sorts of procedures used on a field trip. But we need something about what causes different organisms to choose particular habitats.
HELEN: I agree. And something about finding out how to protect organisms in danger of dying out?
解题思路:本题通过aim进行定位,听到 need something…之后,选项A符合,但是选项B可能会造成干扰,但是随即被否定,but we weren‘t really looking at that。
Question 22
答案:A
定位原文:scripts:
COLIN: It was something about measuring the slope of the shore, but of course we didn't need it because we were measuring wind direction, and we'd brought the compass for that...
HELEN: But not the piece of string to hold up in the air! Didn‘t Mr. Blake make a fuss about us leaving that behind.
解题思路:题目问的是忘记带的东西是什么,ruler被提及,但是未表示是否携带,仅仅说明用途,compass说了已经携带。Helen说到but not the piece of string且语气突出。
Question 23
答案:C
定位原文:scripts:
HELEN: Now, the next section's the procedure. I sent you the draft of that.
COLIN: Yeah. It was clear, but I don't think we need all these details of what time we left and what time we got back and how we divided up the different research tasks.
HELEN: OK. I'll look at that again.
解题思路:通过procedure比较好定位,题目问的是Colin建议的一个改变,A不涉及,B被提及,但是属于解释details的内容。
Question 24
答案:B
定位原文:scripts:
COLIN: Then we have to describe our method of investigation in detail. So let's begin with how we measured wave speed. I was surprised how straightforward that was.
HELEN: I'd expected us to have some sort of high-tech device, not just stand there and count the number of waves per minute. Not very precise, but I suppose it was good enough. But the way we measured the amount of salt was interesting.
解题思路:wave speed 帮助定位,straightforward的意思为“直接、明了”,选项B符合。
Question 25
答案:B
定位原文:scripts:
HELEN:OK. And we need the map of the seashore. You just left that to me. And I had to do it while the tide was low, well that was OK, but the place I started it from was down on the beach, then I realized I should have gone up higher to get better visibility, so I had to start all over again. But at least I'd got the squared paper or I'd have had problems drawing it all to scale.
COLIN: Yes. It looks good. We could get a map of the region off the internet and see if we need to make any changes.
解题思路:Helen说需要站在高处才能获得better visibility,说明起初站的位置不对,B选项符合。Had to do it while the tide was low 否定了C选项,因为没有说这个时间有错或说需要更改。
Question 26
答案:B
定位原文:scripts:
COLIN: Yes. It looks good. We could get a map of the region off the internet and see if we need to make any changes.
HELEN: I had a look but I couldn't find anything. But you took some pictures, didn't you?
COLIN: Yeah. I'll email you them if you want.
HELEN: OK. I'll make my amendments using those, then I can scan it into our report.
解题思路:Helen称需要make amendments 且然后 scan it into our report,动作的主体都是对pictures的,A不符合原文意义,C选项涉及原文的internet,但是找出的是information,与原文提及的从网上下载map不符。
Question 27 & Question 28
答案:A D (in either order)
定位原文:scripts:
COLIN: ...the splash zone?
HELEN: Yeah, we found mostly those tiny shellfish that have strong hard shells that act as protection.
COLIN: But not from other organisms that might eat them, predators?
HELEN: No, that's not the main danger for them.A: But the shells prevent them from drying out because they're in the open air for most of the time.
COLIN: Right. And since they're exposed, they need to be able to find some sort of shelter, or cover themselves up, D:so they don't get too hot Then in the middle and lower zones, nearer the sea, we need to discuss the effects of
E: wave action...
解题思路:splash zone 原文重现,题干中的problem 和 原文的danger是同义替换。Helen说外壳可以避免它们变干,因为它们大部分时间都暴露在空气中;D中high temperature与 too hot为同义替换。
Question 29 & Question 30
答案:C E (in either order)
定位原文:scripts:
HELEN: Right. OK, now I did a draft of the section of sources of possible error in our research, but I don't know if you agree. For example, D: the size of the sample, and whether it's big enough to make any general conclusions from. But I thought actually we did have quite a big sample.
COLIN: We did. B: And our general method of observation seemed quite reliable. But we might not be all that accurate as far as the actual numbers go.
Yeah, E: we might have missed some organisms - if they were hiding under a rock, for example. I wasn't sure about the way we described their habitats. I decided it was probably OK.
COLIN: Yeah, and the descriptions we gave of the smaller organisms, they weren't very detailed, but they were adequate in this context. C: I'm not sure we identified all the species correctly though.
解题思路:error这个词用于定位原文答题信息,应该在原文中应捕捉负面信息。We might have missed… I’m not sure… 均为重要提示。在仔细预读题目选项之后,只有C和E符合选项。
剑桥雅思11Test 2听力答案解析Section 4:
Question 31
答案:social
定位原文:scripts:
The second thing the architect needs to think about is the context of the building, this includes its physical location, obviously, but it also includes the social meaning of the building, how it relates to the people it's built for

Question 32
答案:factory
定位原文:scripts:
Let's look at the new Taylor Concert Hall in relation to these ideas. The location chosen was a site in a run-down district that has been ignored in previous redevelopment plans. It was occupied by a factory that had been empty for some years.
解题思路:disused与原文 run-down同义替换,意指 “废弃老旧区域”,空处填写名词factory。
Question 33
答案:canal
定位原文:scripts:
The whole area was some distance from the high rise office blocks of the central business district and shopping centre, but it was only one kilometre from the ring road. The site itself was bordered to the north by a canal.
解题思路:beside 与原文by 都可以表示“与……挨着”的意思。
Question 34
答案:bridge
定位原文:scripts:
So how was this reflected in the design of the building? Well, Harrison decided to create pedestrian access to the building and to make use of the presence of water on the site. As people approach the entrance, they therefore have to cross over a bridge.
解题思路:approached by bridge 与 cross over a bridge 是同义表达。
Question 35
答案:box
定位原文:scripts:
He wanted to give people a feeling of suspense as they see the building first from a distance, and then close-up, and the initial impression he wanted to create from the shape of the building as a whole was that of a box.
解题思路:shape这个词原文重现,这个答案box 没有什么难度。
Question 36
答案:screen
定位原文:scripts:
And this flat wall also has another purpose. At night time, projectors are switched on and it functions as a huge screen, onto which images are projected.
解题思路:act 与 large在原文中分别同义替换function 和 huge,答案screen随之出现。
Question 37
答案:rubber
定位原文:scripts:
The auditorium itself seats 1500 people. The floor's supported by ten massive pads. These are constructed from rubber.

Question 38
答案:curved
定位原文:scripts:
The walls are made of several layers of honey-colored wood, all sourced from local beech trees. In order to improve the acoustic properties of the auditorium and to amplify the sound, they are not straight, they are curved.
解题思路:描述形状shape的,只能是curved。
Question 39
答案:curtains
定位原文:scripts:
In order to achieve this, there are nine movable panels in the ceiling above the orchestra which are all individually motorized, and the walls also have curtains which can be opened or closed to change the acoustics.
解题思路:ceiling panels 原文重现,容易定位原文,adjustment,调节,是open和close的同义替换表达,空处填写名词。
Question 40
答案:international
定位原文:scripts:
However, the evaluation of some critics has been less enthusiastic. In spite of Harrison's efforts to use local materials, they criticize the style of the design as being international rather than local
解题思路:critics定位原文,空处需要填写形容词或者名词修饰style,原文中the design as being international 就是答案出现的地方。
剑桥雅思11Test 2阅读答案解析Passage1
Question 1
答案: True
关键词: Mary Rose, sink
定位原文: 第1段第4句“Accounts of what... ” 玛丽玫瑰号沉没的原因,有很多种解释,有些人说这样……,另一些人……。
解题思路: 其中可以看到 while witnesses agree that..., some maintain that..., others that…这一结构,说明人们对于其沉没原因并没有达成共识,与题目的“对于玛丽玫瑰号为何沉没存在一些争议”表述一致。
Question 2
答案: NOT GIVEN
关键词: 19 July 1545, sink
定位原文: 时间出现在第1段第1句,后面的信息出现在第5句“What is undisputed... ”然而无可争议的是,玛丽玫瑰号在那一天沉入索伦特海峡,船上至少有500人。
解题思路: 文中只提到战舰沉没,关于“是否是唯一”这一 点并没有提及,而题目说玛丽玫瑰号是1545年7月19日的战斗中唯一沉没的船只,因此本题答案为NOT GIVEN。
Question 3
答案: True
关键词: one side the Mary Rose
定位原文: 第2段第4句“Because of the way the ship sank …” 由于船只沉没的方式,右舷一侧几乎完整地保留了下来。
解题思路:文章第二段对玛丽玫瑰号在海底的情况进行了描述,其中第四句说到右舷一侧几乎被 完整地保留了下来,这与题目中的表述“玛丽玫瑰号的一侧大部分在海中没有受到破坏。”一致,因此本题答案为TRUE。

Question 4
答案: False
关键词: historical objects
对应原文: 第5段第3句“McKee and his team now knew…” McKee及其团队确信他们找到了沉船,但尚未意识到其中还有保存完好的精美工艺品宝藏。
解题思路: 本题说McKee知道沉船中会有许多historical objects,而根据第5段第3句的描述, McKee 和他的团队 unaware that it also housed a treasure trove…说明他们并不知道这一情况,因此题目表述与原文相反,本题答案为 FALSE。
Question 5
答案: C
关键词: launched
定位原文: 第4段前两句“The Mary Rose then faded into …”玛丽玫瑰号随后又销声匿迹几百年。但是在1965年,军事史学家、业余潜水员Alexander McKee和英国潜水俱乐部,联合发起了一项名为“索伦特海峡的船只”的项目。
解题思路: 第四段 中的initiated与题目中的launched为同义替换,与“一项玛丽玫瑰号的搜索行动启动”为同义表达。所以选1965年。
Question 6
答案: B
关键词: stopped
定位原文: 第3段最后一句“Deane continued … ”Deane断断续续地继续潜入这个地点直至1840年,他发现了更多的枪支、两把弓、各种各样的木制品、一只水泵的部件,以及各种各样的其他零碎物品。第4段第1句:“The Mary Rose…” 玛丽玫瑰号随后又销声匿迹几百年。
解题思路: John Deane在玛丽玫瑰号所在的海域进行了搜索并且 发现了一系列物品,其后在第四段第一句说到之后的几百年都没有再进行这样的行为,说明Deane的搜索行为stopped,与题目中“一个人对玛丽玫瑰号的搜索停止”表述一致。
Question 7
答案: G
关键词: agreed
定位原文: 第5段最后一句“While the original aim …” 尽管最初的目标是在一切可行的情况下打捞起整个船体,但这一操作直到1982年1月所有需要的信息都完备的时候才被允许执行。
解题思路:题目说“玛丽玫瑰号的船体打捞得到同意”,这与文中定位处“直到1982年1月,打捞玛丽玫瑰号船体的计划才得到许可”表述一致。
Question 8
答案: A
关键词: found by chance
定位原文: 第三3段前两句“Then, on 16 June 1836…” 其后,在1836年6月16日,索伦特海湾的一些渔民发现他们的设备被海底的某个障碍物卡住,而这正是玛丽玫瑰号。潜水员John Deane恰好正在探索附近的另一艘沉没船只,渔民接近他,请他帮助松开齿轮。
解题思路: 本题所说的偶然发现玛丽玫瑰号的所在地这一信息在文章第三段出现,渔民们的船只偶然发现了玛丽玫瑰号,而恰好John Deane在附近,这都与题目的表述一致。时间是1836年。
Question 9
答案: (lifting) frame
关键词: attached, by wires
定位原文: 第6段的第3句“The hull was attached to……” 船体通过一系列螺栓和起吊索贴紧起吊架。
解题思路:本题对应的是打捞船体的第一个阶段,其中定位词出现在文章第6段第3句,the hull was attached to a lifting frame 与题目中 attached to hull一致,而之后的wires也属于原词重现,考虑到题目的字数要求,答案为(lifting) frame。
Question 10
答案: hydraulic jacks
关键词: sucked into mud
定位原文:第6段第4句 “The problem of the hull…”通过使用12台液压起重机解决了船体被向下吸回到泥土中的问题。
解题思路: the problem of the hull being sucked back,这与题目对应,而关于解决这一问题的表达为was overcome by using 12 hydraulic jacks,因此本题答案为 hydraulic jacks。
Question 11
答案: stabbing guides
关键词: legs
定位原文: 第6段的第8句“This required precise…” 这要求精准的定位来将支脚固定在升降篮的“对扣引导”上。
解题思路: 本题问的是legs被placed into什么地方,原文 第六段第八句中的locate the legs into与题目 中的legs are placed into对应,因此之后的名 词结构即为应当填入的词汇,因此本题答案为 stabbing guides。
Question 12
答案: (lifting) cradle
关键词: lowered into
定位原文: 第6段第9句“The lifting cradle…”使用考古勘测绘图来设计升降篮与船体匹配,并且匹配气囊来为船体脆弱的木质框架提供额外的缓冲。
解题思路: 本题说到的船体lower into与定位处相对应,其中提到 the lifting cradle was designed to fit the hull, 通过分析这一表达来找到应当填入名词,因此本题答案为(lifting) cradle。
Question 13
答案: air bags
关键词: less likely affected by infectious diseases
定位原文: 第6段第9句“The lifting cradle…”使用考古勘测绘图来设计升降篮与船体匹配,并且匹配气囊来为船体脆弱的木质框架提供额外的缓冲。
解题思路: 在12题之后,就可以清楚看到13题的答案。题目中的extra protection 与文章第六段第九句中的additional cushioning 对应,而提供这种额外保护的是air bags,因此本题答案为air bags。
剑桥雅思11Test 2阅读答案解析 Passage2
Question 14
答案: ii
关键词: undisputed answer
定位原文: A段的第6、9句“The identity of.. ” 摩艾像的建造者身份直到20世纪才确定,现代科学(语言学等)确认建造者是波利尼西亚人。
解题思路: A段首先介绍了摩艾像的背景,之后探讨了摩艾像建造者的身份问题。第六句中说到20世纪时人们才对这一问题有了确定的答案,之后描述了人们对这个问题存在的一些猜测;但在本段第九句中明确说到现代科学给出了确定的答案,即摩艾像的建造者是波利尼西亚人。
Question 15
答案: ix
关键词: food resources
定位原文: B段的第6、7、8句。“When the islanders…”当岛上居民为了木柴和农耕清除了树林,森林便不再生长。随着树木的减少,他们不再能够建造独木舟来捕鱼,转而以鸟类为食。水土流失降低了他们的作物产量。
解题思路: 文章B段重点描述了美国科学家Jared Diamond对于拉帕努伊环境破坏的观点,他认为是当地人自己造成了这种情况,并且从不同的方面进行了分析。其中在第六、七句提到由于岛上居民将树林用作木柴和农耕,树木受到破坏不再生长,从而无法继续造船捕鱼;之后也在第八句提到了作物产量减少的问题,这与ix选项所表达的减少食物资源一致。因此本题答案为ix。
Question 16
答案: viii
关键词: the statues, worse
定位原文: C段第1句“The moai, he thinks…”他认为摩艾像加速了当地的自我毁灭。
解题思路: 本段首句提4摩艾像加i 了当地的自我毁灭, 之后Diamond在本段中具体解释了这一观点, 选项中viii的表述与本段内容一致。因此本题 答案为viii。
Question 17
答案: i
关键词:innovative, environment, management, practices
定位原文: D段第3、4句“Archaeological excavations...”考古发掘表明拉帕努伊人做出了巨大的努力去保护他们受狂风席卷且并不肥沃的土地。他们建造了上千的环形石头防风林,在其中栽培花木,并使用破碎的火山岩保持土壤湿润。
解题思路:本段Terry Hunt和Carl Lipo提出了不同的观点,即他们认为生态破坏并非是当地居民或摩艾像的责任,相反他们还做出了巨大的努力。 其中第3句表达了这一观点,而第4句则是具体地写到circular stone windbreaks, 以证明他们的努力。因此本题答案为i。
Question 18
答案: iv
关键词: a local belief
定位原文: E段第3句 “On that issue, Hunt…” Hunt和Lipo说,在这个问题上,考古学证据支持拉帕努伊的民间说法。
解题思路: 本段讲的是摩艾像的移动方式。Hunt和Lipo 对此提出了不同的看法,他们认为由于摩艾像特殊的形状,不需要太多的人力和木头就可以移动它们,并且提出这与当地的民间说法一致。 因此本题答案为iv。
Question 19
答案: vii
关键词: outside the inhabitants, control
定位原文: F段第1句 “Moreover, Hunt…” 此外,Hunt和Lipo相信树木破坏并非完全由岛上居民所致。
解题思路:本段中Hunt和Lipo的观点是岛上环境的破坏并不是岛上居民造成的,而是由于鼠类的泛滥以及欧洲人的登陆,而这是当地居民无法控制的,与 vii 选项 Destruction outside the inhabitants' control一致。因此本题答案为vii。
Question 20
答案: vi
关键词: opposing views
定位原文: G段第1、2句 “Hunt and Lipo’s vision…” 因此,以Hunt和Lipo的观点来看,这个岛屿上居住着和平的有独创性的摩艾像建造者们以及小心翼翼的土地维护者,而不是不计后果毁掉自己的环境与社会的破坏者。他们认为“拉帕努伊是一个不太可能的成功故事,而非一个不幸的失败事件”。
解题思路:在G段的第1句和第2句中,都提到了与 opposing views about the Rapanui people 相关的内容,同时Hunt和Lipo再次持积极的态度,相当于对自己的观点进行了总结。因此本题答案为vi。
Question 21
答案: farming
关键词: cutting down its trees for fuel, clearing land
定位原文: B段第6句“When the islanders cleared the forests for firewood and farming…” 当岛上居民为了木柴和农耕清除了树林,森林便不再生长。
解题思路:Jared Diamond的观点在B段出现。本题提到了当地人破坏森林,并且cutting down trees 和clearing land, 这一信息出现在原文中B段第6句,这一行为的目的是为了 firewood and farming; 这一并列结构在题目中被for fuel同义替换,clearing land的目的也可以就此找到, 因此本题答案为farming。
Question 22
答案: canoes
关键词:go fishing
定位原文:B段第7句 “As trees became scarce and they could no…”随着树木的减少,他们不再能够建造独木舟来捕鱼,转而以鸟类为食。
解题思路: 题目说到当地岛上居民不再能够建造捕鱼所需的东西,在原文B段第七句中出现了 could no longer construct, 这与题目中 no longer able to build意思一致;而文中提到的for fishing 也与题目中 they needed to go fishing 意思一致,因此可见wooden canoes为所需名词, 同时有要求one word,得出答案。
Question 23
答案: birds
关键词:food source
定位原文: 同上题
解题思路:上一题中已经提到人们无法继续建造wooden canoes, 在B段第七句中说到他们以鸟类为食;而本题提到了food source, 判断本题答案为 birds。
Question 24
答案: wood
关键词: people
定位原文: C段第4句“Diamond thinks they laid the moai on…” Diamond认为他们将摩艾像放在木质雪橇上,在木轨上拉动,但这需要大量的木头和人力。
解题思路:本题说到运送雕像所需要的东西,之后出现 not only..., but also这一并列结构,而在原文 C段第四句中,也以并列结构描述了所需要的是 both a lot of wood and a lot of people; 由于题目中已经出现了people, 因此本题答案为wood。
Question 25 and Question 26
答案: B & C
关键词:Disagree
定位原文: C、D、E 三段
解题思路:ADE三项全文并没有提及;关于摩艾像的运输,Hunt和Lipo 二人与Diamond持不同看法;其中Diamond的观点出现在文章C段,他认为雕像是放在木质雪橇上然后通过木轨被拉动,而Hunt和Lipo的观点出现在E段,他们认为雕像的移动同当地说法一致,雕像可以在几个人和没有绳索的控制下直立移动;对于拉帕努伊社会的影响方面,Diamond认为摩艾像加速了当地的破坏,这一观点出现在C段;而Hunt和Lipo认为摩艾像对当地社会起到了积极的作用,这一观点在D段和E段都进行了具体的描述。
剑桥雅思11Test 2阅读答案解析Passage 3
Question 27
答案:C
关键词:second paragraph, a shape-matching test
定位原文:第二段
解题思路:题目:在第二段,作者提到图形匹配试验是为了证明:A.艺术鉴赏的主观性质;B.现代艺术对抽象形式的依赖; C.我们倾向于被他人的意见影响;D.加工视觉数据时遇到的普遍问题。本题问的是提及a shape-matching test的作用,首先需要在原文中找到这个信息,然后在周围寻找论点型的句子,这类句子往往在具体的例子之前。题目中的a shape-matching test出现在文章第二段第四句,而这句的内容是为了说明第三句的an inclination to follow the crowd, 然后在选项中寻找这个内容的同义替换,可以看到C选项表达的含义与此一致, 因此本题答案为C。
Question 28:
答案:D

定位原文:第8段最后一句“While the fashions of the time…”
解题思路:本题说到人们艺术品位的问题,原文第八段最后一句提到一些作品在流行趋势结束之 后依然受人喜欢,这些作品往往是best adapted to our visual system,所以完全依赖于当前艺术趋势的说法是错误的,因此本题答案为NO。

关键词:the filed of science
定位原文:第9段最后一句“In some ways, it's not so different to science…”
解题思路:在文章第9段最后一句中,说到艺术和科学not so different,而科学一直寻求decode meaning,此处关于find meaning的描述并没有将艺术和科学进行对比,也就不存在easier的问题,因此本题答案为NOT GIVEN。
