Section 2
Question 11
答案:E
定位原文:scripts:
For one thing, we have a fine collection of twentieth and twenty-first century paintings, many by very well-known artists. I'm sure you'll recognise several of the paintings. This is the gallery that attracts the largest number of visitors.
解题思路:This is the gallery...这句是说画廊吸引了最多的观众,对应E选项。Many by very well-known artists 意为许多是知名画家的作品,容易误选D,需要仔细读题。
Question 12
答案:D
定位原文:scripts:
Then there are the nineteenth-century paintings. The museum was opened in the middle of that century, and several of the artists each donated one work.
解题思路:several of the artists…这句是答案句,对应选项D。选项中的given和原文的donated是同义替换表达。
Question 13
答案:G
定位原文:scripts:
You'll need to come back next year to see it properly, but a number of the sculptures have been moved to other parts of the museum.

解题思路:on TV or in the newspapers 替代了选项中的media,对应选项B。
Question 15
答案:C
定位原文:scripts:
Then there's the collection of coins. This is what you might call a focused, specialist collection, because all the coins come from this country, and were produced between two thousand and a thousand years ago. And many of them were discovered by ordinary people digging their gardens, and donated to the museum!
解题思路:ordinary people和 the public是同义替换,donated 和given 是同义替换,选项C符合。
Question 16
答案:A
定位原文:scripts:
All our porcelain and glass was left to the museum by its founder…
解题思路:本题距离15题的答案区域非常接近,不太来得及反应,A选项中的one person 和答案句中的founder是同义替换。

解题思路:原文提到走到sitting area 尽头右拐进入走廊,对面的房间即为F,难点主要是确定右拐这个方向。
Question 18
答案:H
定位原文:scripts:
If you just want a snack, or if you'd like to eat somewhere with facilities for children, we also have a cafe. When you reach the bottom of the stairs, you'll need to go straight ahead, turn right into the corridor, and the café is immediately on the right.

定位原文:scripts:
The cloakroom, where you should leave coats, umbrellas and any large bags, is on the left hand side of the sitting area. It's through the last door before you come to the corridor.
解题思路:文中提到在沙发休闲区的左侧,解题的关键在于要听到 last door before you come to the corridor,也就是进走廊前的最后一个门,对应B选项。
Section 3
Question 21 & Question 22
答案:B D (in either order)
定位原文:scripts:
D: they‘d done quite extensive tours in different continents...
B: I wasn't specifically looking for artists who'd produced recordings, but this is something that's just taken for granted these days, arid they all had.
解题思路:They‘d done quite extensive tours in different continents 对应选项D;后面提到recordings,以及they all had,对应B选项。
Question 23 & Question 24
答案:A B (in either order)
定位原文:scripts:
JOANNA: I‘d thought it might ... it was all quite informal though and in fact they seemed very keen to talk. A: And I don't think using the phone meant I got less rich data, rather the opposite in fact.
B: if I was going to interview leading musicians it’d only be possible over the phone
解题思路:telephone interviews 定位后很容易听到B选项。后面提到担心录音质量,但是worked out all right,排除E;关于时间,提到至少半小时,有的会更长一些,所以排除D选项;后面虽然说了stressful,但是又说受访者很乐意交谈,C排除。最后说我不认为电话访谈获取的信息少,选A。
Question 25 & Question 26
答案:B E (in either order)
定位原文:scripts:
JOANNA: …B: When I started I was more interested in trying to investigate the impact of what was worn on those listening, and also…E: whether someone like a violinist might adopt a different style of clothing from, say, someone playing the flute or the trumpet.
解题思路:抓住题干中的originally,因此录音中的 when I started 预示着后面内容为题目答案;后面提到 trying to investigate… 意为试图调查着装对听听众的影响,对应选项B;紧接着说了whether someone like a …意为是否一个小提琴手会从笛子或喇叭演奏者那里借鉴不同风格的服装,对应选项E。
Question 27
答案:C
定位原文:scripts:
SUPERVISOR: You only had women performers in your study. Was that because male musicians are less worried about fashion?
JOANNA: I think a lot of the men are very much influenced by fashion, but in social terms the choices they have are more limited ... they'd really upset audiences if they stayed away from quite narrow boundaries.
解题思路:women performance 进行定位比较简单,女说男人更容易被时尚所影响,排除A;接着提到在社会规则下男人对服装的选择更有限,对应C选项。
Question 28
答案:A
定位原文:scripts:
SUPERVISOR: Hmm. Now, popular music has quite different expectations. Did you read Mike Frost's article about the dress of women performers in popular music?
JOANNA: NO.
SUPERVISOR: He points out that a lot of female singers and musicians in popular music tend to dress down in performances, and wear less feminine clothes, like jeans instead of skirts, and he suggests this is because otherwise they'd just be discounted as trivial.
解题思路:B、C两个选项都没有被提及,提到女人穿牛仔服而不是裙子,她们穿裙子会不被重视,对应选项A。
Question 29
答案:A
定位原文:scripts:
JOANNA: The subjects I interviewed felt this was really important. It's all to do with what we understand by performance as a public event. They believed the audience had certain expectations and it was up to them as performers to fulfill these expectations, to show a kind of esteem ...
SUPERVISOR: ... they weren't afraid of looking as if they'd made an effort to look good.
解题思路:audience at a performance 进行定位比较容易,后面提到表演者要满足观众预期,以示尊重;对应选项A,esteem和respect是同义表达。
Question 30
答案:C
定位原文:scripts:
JOANNA: And I also got interested in what sports scientists are doing too, with regard to clothing.
SUPERVISOR: Musicians are quite vulnerable physically, aren't they, because the movements they carry out are very intensive and repetitive, so I'd imagine some features of sports clothing could safeguard the players from the potentially dangerous effects of this sort of thing.
解题思路:导师说的意思是因此我想体育服装的一些特征能够保护演奏者在表演过程中避免一些潜在的危险,对应选项是C。
Section 4
Question 31
答案:dry
定位原文:scripts:
Carbon-rich soil is dark, crumbly and fertile, and retains some water. But erosion can occur if soil is dry
解题思路:erosion 为关键词,But erosion can occur if soil is dry 为答案句,答案为dry。
Question 32
答案:hard
定位原文:scripts:
Lal was studying soils in Africa so devoid of organic matter that the around had become extremely hard, like cement.
解题思路:soil 为关键词,是缺乏有机物质,所以答案不是organic,应该是hard。
Question 33
答案:sugar/sugars
定位原文:scripts:
Plants absorb CO2 from the air and transform it into sugars and other carbon-based substances.
解题思路:题干中的turn into 和原文中的transform into 是同义替换,carbon-based substance为定位的关键词。
Question 34
答案:roots
定位原文:scripts:
While a proportion of these carbon products remain in the plant, some transfer from the roots to fungi and soil microbes.
解题思路:transfer from 同义于题干的 moves from,如果不认识microbes,也不会理解它和fungi属于同义表达。
Question 35
答案:moist/damp/wet
定位原文:scripts:
Some growers have already started using an approach known as regenerative agriculture. This aims to boost the fertility of soil and keep it moist through established practices.
解题思路:预读题目之后,发现空处和fertile为平行结构,keep和maintain也是同义表达,此题比较容易。
Question 36
答案:variety
定位原文:scripts:
These include keeping fields planted all year round, and increasing the variety of plants being grown.
解题思路:year-round 和 increasing 可以在原文听到,比较好抓住答案区域,这个题答案也比较简单,就是距离上一题比较近,比较容易错过。
Question 37
答案:cattle
定位原文:scripts:
Soil scientist Whendee Silver of the University of California, Berkeley, is conducting a first-of-its-kind study on a large cattle farm in the state.
解题思路: California为关键词,原文中的 a large cattle farm 和 题干中的 a big cattle farm 是同义表达,本题比较简单。
Question 38
答案:gardens/gardening
定位原文:scripts:
She and her students are testing the effects on carbon storage of the compost that is created from waste - both agricultural, including manure and cornstalks, and waste produced in gardens.
解题思路:按照空处设置,应该和 agriculture 一样是个名词,注意including这个结构,表示是进一步说明agricultural 这个性质的,both and 这个结构,也提示了答案是gardens,中间干扰项比较多,需要仔细预读题目。
Question 39
答案:grasses
定位原文:scripts:
Jones and 12 farmers are working to build up soil carbon by cultivating grasses that stay green all year round.
解题思路:by cultivating 同义于题干中的 by using, 后面的stay green all year round 基本也没什么改写难度,这个题也比较容易。
Question 40
答案:payment/payments/money
定位原文:scripts:
Rattan Lai argues that farmers should receive payment not just for the corn or beef they produce, but also for the carbon they can store in their soil.
解题思路:Lai 认为farmers 应该得到报酬,这个题目题干中的for carbon storage…这个部分也是原文 for the carbon they can store…的同义表达。
剑桥雅思11Test4阅读答案及解析:
Passage 1
Question 1
答案: FALSE
关键词: genetic causes, skin
定位原文: 第1段第2、3句“Because identical twins come from…”同卵双胞胎享有同样的基因密码,两人出现不同只可能是环境因素造成的差异。
解题思路: 本题出题位置符合顺序原则,作为文后第一个题型中的第一道题,考生可以轻松在正文第一段中定位到一模一样的skin一词。从理解上来看本题也并不困难:原文明确说到同卵双胞胎来自同一颗受精卵,基因完全相同,一切不同都是后天环境因素造成的。这与题干信息“同卵双胞胎的皮肤看起来有多年轻,其背后有可能存在着基因方面的原因”相悖,因此答案为FALSE。
Question 2
答案: NOT GIVEN
关键词: greater risk, developing certain illnesses, non-twins
定位原文: 第2段第2句“If identical twins are…”
解题思路: 题干中的illness 一词回到原文中有两个对应的同义替换词,分别为ailment 和disease。即使对前者不甚熟悉但必定应当认识后者,所以定位并不算难。仔细阅读文章内容可知,本句只是提及同卵双胞胎与异卵双胞胎在对某种疾病产生反应的方面有何异同,比较的对象只涉及“双胞胎”这个范围,并未将之与“非双胞胎”比较,没有明确提及题干的信息“双胞胎比非双胞胎更有风险得上某些疾病”,通读后文后,也没有其他的答题定位区域,因此答案为NOT GIVEN。
Question 3
答案: NOT GIVEN
关键词: Bouchard, advertised, newspapers
定位原文: 第4段第2句“Over two decades 137 sets of …”
解题思路: 本题可以凭借Bouchard这个专有名词而轻松在文中定位,但仔细阅读文章内容就会发现,确实有许多双胞胎参与了此人所进行的研究,但并没有明确提及那些双胞胎们是通过什么途径来到Bouchard实验室的,没有“报纸”和“广告”这些信息,因此答案是NOT GIVEN。
Question 4
答案: TRUE
关键词: epigenetic processes
对应原文: 第6段最后一句“According to a recent field called …”
解题思路: Epigenetic这个词作为学科名称,一模一样地出现在文中第6段,可以被轻松定位。阅读定位句则可以知道,这一作用过程确实既不同于环境因素,也不同于基因因素,与题干表述相一致,因此答案为TRUE。
Question 5
答案: A
关键词: invented a term, two factors
定位原文: 第4段第1句“The idea of using twins…”
解题思路: 题目:invented a term used to distinguish two factors affecting human characteristics; 译文:发明了一个术语用来区分影响个人特质的两种因素。本题基本上就是考査考生对coin这个单词作为动词表示“创造”;这个单词作为名词还可表示“术语——这个词汇知识点,而coin a term这样的用法在此前的剑桥真题里已经出现过,此题答案为A。
Question 6
答案: C
关键词: study of epigenetics, increase, knowledge
定位原文: 第12段最后1句“Having said that, Reed … ”
解题思路: 题目:expressed the view that the study of epigenetics will increase our knowledge;译文:表达了这样一个观点:对于表观遗传学的研究将会增加我们的知识。本题的定位稍有麻烦,因为Reed这个人名在文章的后三段中都有所提及,对比这几段文章中的相关内容,待读到最后一段时理解原文应该不难,increase our knowledge 与 take our understanding further 是简单的同义表述关系,本题答案为C。
Question 7
答案: B
关键词: mathematical method
定位原文: 第5段第1、2句“Bouchard and his colleagues …”
解题思路: 题目:developed a mathematical method of measuring genetic influences;译文:开创了一种数学方法来衡量基因的影响。本题出题点距离人名定位处并不远,statistical concept 与 mathematical method 为同义替换关系,此题答案为B。
Question 8
答案: A
关键词: pioneered
定位原文: 第4段第1句“The idea of using twins to measure…”
解题思路: 题目:pioneered research into genetics using twins; 译文:开创了通过双胞胎来研究基因学的做法。本题与第五题的定位完全相同,都是原文中的同一句,且从考查单词的难度上来看,比第5题更容易理解。无论date back (追溯到)这个词组还是first这个单词都不会造成理解困难,正是Francis Galton开创了研究双胞胎的先河,本题答案为A。
Question 9
答案: B
关键词: lived apart
定位原文: 第4段第2、3句“But twin studies took a surprising twist in…”
解题思路: 题目:carried out research into twins who had lived apart; 译文:对那些各自生活在不同地方的双胞胎进行了研究。无论是原文中第二句里的separated at birth and reunited as adults 还是第三句里的 Reared apart, 都明确对应题干中的lived apart这个信息,只需明确这个研究对象到底是Francis Galton还是Thomas Bouchard所研究的即可。经过仔细阅读可知为后者,因此本题答案为B。
Question 10
答案: D
关键词: epigenetic processes
定位原文: 第7段第1、2句“Epigenetic processes…”
解题思路: 题干说“在表观遗传过程中,_____会影响我们的基因活动行为”。用epigenetic processes可以轻松在原文中定位到出题位置,但需要耐心读完相邻的两句,才可根据后句里的these reactions这个指代更加确定答案应为前一句中的chemical reactions, 根据意思选择最接近的选项,由此可得答案为D。
Question 11
答案: B
关键词: create, internal
定位原文: 第7段第2句“These reactions …”
解题思路: 题干说“在表观遗传过程中,化学反应会影响我们的基因活动行为,例如在创造我们内部_____的时候”。本题的出题位置与上一题来自同一句话,看出原文中的 parts of our bodies 正是对应 internal organs 这一表述,因此答案为B选项:organs。
Question 12
答案: E
关键词: uncover, genes, affected
定位原文: 第9段第1句“One way the study of …”
解题思路: 题干说“表观遗传学的研究正在探索我们的基因会以怎样的方式受到我们的_____的影响”。考生应该不难找到原文中impact与题干中be affected by的同义替换,对比可知答案为E选项:environment。
Question 13
答案: behaviour/behavior
关键词: pregnant rat, stress, problems
定位原文: 第9段第2句“Studies of animals, for example, have shown…”
解题思路: 题干说“有一个例证:如果一只怀孕的老鼠经历过紧张压力体验,新生的幼鼠日后就有可能展现出_______方面的问题”。“怀孕的老鼠”这个信息在文中容易定位,考生只需认真阅读定位句即可得出答案为F选项。
Test 4 Passage 2
Question 14
答案: B
关键词: first paragraph
定位原文: 第1段整体内容
解题思路: 本题考査考生是否能够读懂作者在第一段里表达的主要看法,很难使用此段中的某一句话来确定答案,需要考生读懂本段大意并对比四个选项内容,从而做出恰当选择。
A项说“导演应该在拍摄的早期阶段就计划好电影原声”,而原文中只是提及“规划音效也应该是导演的职责所在”,并未提及是否该早早动手规划;C项说“音乐产业可以对电影中的声音产生有益影响”,这个信息完全不曾被提及;D项说“负责电影中声音的工作人员应该对音效担负起完全的责任来,这很重要”,更是故意曲解了文中的“统筹音效和关注画面质量同样都是导演的应有之责”,混淆视听。对比可得正确答案为B项。
Question 15
答案: A
关键词: Humphrey Bogart
定位原文: 第2段的第3、4句“Often with film characterization the audience perceives little…”
解题思路: 题目问作者提到Humphrey Bogart的一个原因是为了证明什么。人名可以帮助考生轻松定位。只看包含Humphrey Bogart的一句,缺失了此段的上下文,也不易得出答案。B项说“观众希望演员在视觉上适合他们所扮演的角色”,也就是说希望演员的外貌特征符合角色描述,但本段反复提及的着眼点在于“性格特征”而非外貌;C项属于完全未被提及的信息;D项说“观众更倾向于对话要尽可能显得真实”,虽然本段确实意在解释“对话”在电影中所扮演的角色,但是并有明确说到它必须像真的,所以也不对。
Question 16
答案: B
关键词: third paragraph
定位原文: 第3段内容
解题思路: A项说“如果电影对话不能反映观众自身经历,他们就有可能会持批评性态度”,未被提及的;C项说“电影制作者在如何处话的技巧上彼此有着极大的差別”,这个选项与原文中how dialogue is used and the very amount of dialogue used vanes widely among films有一定相似之处,可能会给部分考生造成一定干扰。但仔细分辨之下不难看出,原文只说了“不同电影中对话的用法和用量有很大差別”,并未明确说是电影制作者使用技巧的差別,是干扰选项;D项说“最成功的电影是那些有着高质量对话的电影”,也是无中生有的信息。
Question 17
答案: D
关键词: Bringing Up Baby
定位原文: 第4段内容
解题思路: 问的是关于Bringing Up Baby 这部电影说了什么,根据本段内容,作者说这部电影故意使用了又快又滑稽的对话形式来突出影片的荒诞风格。因此正确答案为选项D“对话的性质强化了影片中的关键元素。”A项说“由于电影制作人想要关注幽默对话而使情节受到了损害”;B项说“对话帮助这部电影成为了有史以来最好的喜剧电影之一”;C项说“对话的速度与动作的速度之间不匹配”。这三项内容在本段中都不曾被提及。
Question 18
答案: C
关键词: ‘click’ of a door
定位原文: 第5段第4句“For example, the 'click' of a door being opened…”
解题思路: 题目问:作者提到了推门的“咔嗒”声来说明,模拟真实情况的声音_____。A项说“经常被用来让观众对影片中的事件产生错误印象”;B项说“可能会被观众中的不同成员按照不同的方式进行理解”;D项说“往往在那些展示现实场景的电影中显得更为重要”。这三项内容在本段不曾被提及。而C中“也有可能加以改变用来控制观众对电影的反应”是定位处的同义表达。
Question 19
答案: TRUE
关键词: surprised, lacks, background music
定位原文: 第7段的第1句“We are probably all familiar with…”
解题思路: 定位处的so… as to 表示 “如此…以至于”,背景音乐无处不在,以至于观众必须注意到它的存在,和题目的“如果一部电影缺了背景音乐,观众有可能会感到奇怪。”是同义表达。
Question 20
答案: TRUE
关键词: background music, anticipate, development
定位原文:第7段倒数第2句“In addition, background music…”
解题思路: 定位处说背景音乐通常预示着氛围变化,foreshadow 与may anticipate 是同义表达,题目中说“背景音乐有可能预示出一部电影中的情节发展”与定位原文是同义表达,因此答案为TRUE。
Question 21
答案: NOT GIVEN
关键词: background music, more effect than
定位原文:第7段第3、4、5句“Usually not meant to be noticeable …”
解题思路: 文中与题目有关的定位区域在第7段,文中说到,通常可能不是故意让人注意的,只是说背景音乐通常奠定了故事的基调,或者人物的感情态度,再者,预示氛围变化。而题目中却说背景音乐对一些人产生的效果比对另一些人所产生的效果更大。这样的信息在文中完全没有提及。所以答案只能是NG。
Question 22
答案: True
关键词: background music, make certain connections
定位原文: 第8段内容
解题思路: 题目说背景音乐可以帮助观众在影片中(不同场景之间)找到某些关联,在阅读第8段第1句后,即可大致判断这个表述是True,如果觉得不够确信,再往后阅读,可以确定答案。
Question 23
答案: FALSE
关键词: aware, background music, affecting
定位原文: 第9段第4句“The effects of sound are often largely…”
解题思路: 定位处已经明确说明声音的效果通常来说是非常微妙的,只是潜意识才能注意到。而题目说的是“观众往往会注意到背景音乐如何对他们产生影响。” 题目中用background music,原文中用了sound这个简单词,正文中所使用的effects一词与题干中affect的同义替换,对比内容,可知答案为FALSE。
Question 24
答案: C
关键词: audience's response, can be controlled
定位原文: 第1段第3、4句“The entire sound track consists of…”
解题思路: 题目问的是观众对于影片中不同部分的反应可以在何种情况下被控制。难点在与理解原文的create desired effects,即是指“创造出(电影制作者)所想要达到的效果”,也就是希望去掌控或操控观众观影之后会产生什么样的反应。题目中的“must be mixed and balanced so as to produce the necessary emphases”就是C选项的“如果人的声音、其他声响和音乐进行了恰当混合的话”。
Question 25
答案: A
关键词: feelings and motivations
定位原文: 第2段第2句“As is the case with stage drama…”
解题思路: 原文中“dialogue serves to tell the story and expresses feelings and motivations of characters as well”,可见是dialogue完成两个目标,一是讲述故事,二是表达人物感情和动机,很容易选到A:当观众听着对话的时候。
Question 26
答案: E
关键词: character, real person, actor
定位原文: 第3段第1句“When voice textures fit the performer's physiognomy…”
解题思路: 定位原文处说到音质符合人物的外表,姿势,一个非常真实的人物形象就出来了。题目问的是“一个角色看似更像一个真实的人而非一位演员”,所以选项E“当演员的外貌、声音和动作彼此协调一致时”是正确选项。
Test 4 Passage 3
Question 27
答案: vi
关键词: most important invention
定位原文:A段内容
解题思路:实际上,本段第一句话就点明此段主要谈及“语言在人类的所有发明中占据最重要的地位”,take pride of place意为“有最重要的地位”;接下来的每一句话都是在以不同的方式反复阐述原因所在和表现形式。第二句话说“其他发明改变的是人类的物质生活,而语言则是使人真正称其为人的原因”;第三句话说“一切发明跟语言比起来都会相形失色”;第四句话还说“要是没有语言,人类不可能发展到今天这样的状态”。无论正确理解其中哪句话的大意都不难看出正确选项为vi。
Question 28:
答案:iv
关键词:incompatible characteristics
定位原文:B段内容
解题思路:本段的解题难度比较高,原因是本段整段都是典型的承上启下,答案的定位主要集中在后三句话所表达的意思里。前三句话先是继续对语言的重要地位进行了进一步描述和赞美。从倒数第三句开始话锋一转,指出虽然语言如此伟大,但还是存在着不一致、相矛盾之处,conceal,隐藏;incongruity,不一致;倒数第二句提出:“语言是最伟大的发明,然而它却并不是被发明出来的”,进一步点出这其中存在逻辑上的矛盾;最后一句再次以paradox 一词来确证。后三句共同表达了类似的意思,即语言虽然伟大但却存在矛盾、悖论之处,正确答案为iv。
Question 29:
答案:ii
关键词:a few sounds, huge range of meaning
定位原文:C段内容
解题思路:本段的第一句话其实就是在委婉地夸奖赞美语言的设计精巧。第二句话则是以“设问”形式提出,语言用“three dozen”这么一点儿的发音元素是怎么组合成了“so much”意义表达呢?本句即是在表达“用一点点发音元素弄出许多许多表达”这个意思。之后的两句也是在进一歩展开说明这个论点,本段采用的是“总一分”结构,主旨句在第二句中,正确答案为ii。
Question 30:
答案:vii
关键词:universal ability
定位原文:D段内容
解题思路:本段是个“总-分-总”结构,第一句话即点明“每个人都能让语言这部机器运转起来”,接下来的几句话分别指出:“无论什么人都能使用语言”、“但是正因如此人们才对它过于想当然了”、“也就没有刻意去重视它研究它”,结尾句则做出总结:“语言遮掩了其艺术性”。但每句话都避开了“使用”这个词汇,而是比喻性地反复提及“让机轮运转”、“串联起意义”和“使机器运行”,増加了理解难度。正确答案为vii。
Question 31:
答案:i
关键词:differences, highlight, impressiveness
定位原文:E段内容
解题思路:第一句先指出“往往只有遭遇我们不熟悉的外语时我们才会注意到语言设计结构的精巧”;之后举出一个特长的土耳其词汇来对比与英语表达方式的不同;然后再进一步进行细节解释说明。无论是“difference差异”还是“impressiveness令人惊叹”的含义都没有明确的同义替换词在文中出现,需考生在读懂句子后自行体会,正确答案为i。
Question 32:
答案:v
关键词:silence, meaningful
定位原文:F段内容
解题思路:本段的结构与B段有类似之处:前半段进一步列举例证来说明不同语言之间存在着令人惊叹的差异之处,后半段才开始说到“即使the absence of a sound也可以具有某些意义”。不过文章读到了此处,备选答案只剩下iii和v两项,也可利用排除法来找出相对更加合宜的选项,正确答案为v。
Question 33:
答案:E: material
关键词:wheel, major impact
定位原文:A段第2句“Other inventions…”
解题思路:题干说 “车轮这个发明对生活的______方面有着重大的影响”,要定位wheel一词不难,通过对比原文也可以比较轻松地看出 existence与题干中的life互为同义替换关系,可得答案为选项E: material。
Question 34:
答案:G:fundamental
关键词:no impact
定位原文:A段第3句“Compared to language…”
解题思路:题干说“但是没有任何影响能像语言产生的影响那样_____”,原文中并未直接出现impact这样的单词,也没有as...as的句型结构,而是用 Compared to表达了语言与其他发明的比较关系,需要认真阅读理解原文。好在此空与上一题同处在一个句子之中,依序阅读文章句子可得答案为选项G:fundamental。
Question 35:
答案: B: complex
关键词: yet, small number of sounds
定位原文:B段第2句“In its own right…”
解题思路:题干说“语言非常_____,然而却由仅仅非常少量的声音组成”。根据本句中的yet转折关系可知空格中的答案应当与a small number of sounds所表达的“少量、简单”形成对比、转折的关系。找到“少量声音”所对应的twenty-five or thirty sounds,对比可知此处用来形容语言另一属性的词汇为sophistication,对应答案为选项B: complex。
Question 36:
答案: F: easy
关键词:to use, overlooked
定位原文:D段全段内容
解题思路:题干说“语言看似用起来是_____ ”,考生如果感觉此句给出的信息不够,可以再看下一句题干,得知“语言的复杂精密性常被忽略”这个补充定位信息。此题位置出在D段,如前文List of Headings中关于D段的讲解所言,本段的句子其实并不很难理解,但却用了大量比喻性用法拐弯抹角地表达语义,可以得出答案为选项F: easy。
Question 37:
答案: NO
关键词:achieved, present position, without language
定位原文:A段第3、4句“Compared to language…”
解题思路:题干说“人类即使没有语言也有可能发展到今天这样的状态”,achieved和without language的题干关键词都是原词重现地出现在文中,容易定位,阅读对应的两句原文可知,作者明确指出如果没有语言人类不可能达到今天这样凌驾其他动物甚至驾驭自然的成就,题干与此相矛盾,答案为NO。
Question 38:
答案: YES
关键词:Port-Royal grammarians
定位原文:B段第3句“This was how…”
解题思路:题干说“Port-Royal的语法学家们正确地评价了语言的本质”,根据Port- Royal 定位,do justice to是“公平对待、公正评价”的意思,以及原文中celebrated eloquently the magnitude是“以极具表现力的方式赞美了其重要地位”的意思,可得答案为YES。
Question 39:
答案: NOT GIVEN
关键词:complex idea, sentence, single word
定位原文:E自然段
解题思路: 题干说“一个复杂的概念用一个句子来解释比用一个单词来解释会更清楚”,E段内容中第一句先指出“往往只有遭遇我们不熟悉的外语时我们才会注意到语言设计结构的精巧”;之后举出一个特长的土耳其词汇来对比与英语表达方式的不同,这是跟题干内容可能仅有联系的定位区域,但是这个例子只是为了说明语言的奇妙性,是个特例,而且说的是一个单词表达了一个句子的意思,并不是题目所表达的通用概念,这个观点没有出现过。所以答案是NG。
Question 40:
答案: YES
关键词:Sumerians, recording of events
定位原文:F段第1句“And if that sounds like…”
解题思路: 题干说“是苏美尔人开始了记录事件的做法”,Sumerians找到文中相应位置,看懂题干中recorcunff of events 与原文 documentation of history 的对应也应该没有太大问题,答案为YES。
