剑桥雅思8 Test1 Passage1阅读答案解析
第1题答案:D
对应原文:D段:they could not always be depended on in the cloudy and often freezing weather of northern Europe.
答案解析:D段最后一句提到,在北欧经常多云和严寒的天气里,它们并不总是那么可靠。题干中early timekeeping invention对应they,affected对应not always be depended on,cold temperatures对应freezing,由此确定答案。
第2题答案:B
对应原文:B段:for those living near the equator in particular… In more northern climes, however, where seasonal agriculture was practised
答案解析:B段中描述了根据地理位置不同而出现的不同计时体系。赤道附近更加依赖月亮,而北部地区则更加依赖太阳。即地理位置在农业群体日历发展中的重要性。由此确定答案。
第3题答案:F
对应原文:F段:By the 16th century, a pendulum clock had been devised
答案解析:这道题容易选G,但G段中主要描述的是对摆钟的改良,而非发明。反而是F段的最后提到了其起源。devised与origins对应,由此确定答案。
第4题答案:E
对应原文:E段: The schemes that divided the day into 24 equal parts varied according to the start of the count: Italian hours began at sunset, Babylonian hours at sunrise, astronomical hours at midday and ‘great clock’ hours, used for some large public clocks in Germany, at midnight
答案解析:这句话中提到,虽然都是将一天划分成24小时,但不同国家的开始时间并不一致。原文中具体的国家和组织结构名称对应题干中的different societies,24 equal parts对应uniform hours,由此确定答案。
第5题答案:B
对应原文:C段: the Egyptians had formulated a municipal calendar having 12 months of 30 days
答案解析:原文提到,埃及人发明了一种民用日志,一年有12个月,每个月都是30天。即月份长度相等。由此确定答案为B。
第6题答案:F
对应原文:E段:or French hours, which split the day into two 12-hour periods commencing at midnight.
答案解析:原文中提到,法国的计时方式将一天划为两个12小时的时间段,从午夜开始。其中two 12-hour periods对应two equal halves,由此确定答案为F。
第7题答案:D
对应原文:G段:and thus led to the development of a new floor-standing case design
答案解析:根据题干中new cabinet shape与new floor-standing case design的对应定位到这句话。不过附近并没有任何国家。我们只能扩大寻找范围,发现段首提到了England,并在随后的文字中没有切换描述对象,由此确定答案为D。
第8题答案:A
对应原文:A段:the Babylonians began to measure time, introducing calendars to co-ordinate communal activities, to plan the shipment of goods and, in particular, to regulate planting and harvesting.
答案解析:题干中pulic events对应communal activities, work schedules对应plan the shipment of goods,以及regulate planting and harvesting。 原文中明确提到Babylonians,由此确定答案。
第9题答案:(ship’s) anchor/(an/the) anchor
对应原文:G段:It was called the anchor escapement, which was a lever-based device shaped like a ship’s anchor.
答案解析:根据标题的1670定位到G段,题干中的resembling与like同义替换,由此确定答案为ship’s anchor。
第10题答案:(escape) wheel
对应原文:G段: The motion of a pendulum rocks this device so that it catches and then releases each tooth of the escape wheel
答案解析:从图中可以猜测第10题的答案应该是与齿轮类似的词汇。顺着上一往下,很容易找到答案为eacape wheel
第11题答案:tooth
对应原文:同上
答案解析:11空是齿轮的一部分,根据原文确定答案为tooth。
第12题答案:(long) pendulum
对应原文:G段:this invention allowed the use of a long pendulum which could beat once a second
答案解析:根据beat定位到这句话,题干中要填beat这一动作的发出者,根据主谓关系确定long pendulum是答案。
第13题答案:second
对应原文:同上
答案解析:each修饰空,与原文中once对应,根据修饰关系,确定答案为second。
