剑桥雅思11 Test1 Passage1阅读答案解析
第1题答案:tomatoes
对应原文:第2段:The concept of indoor farming is not new, since hothouse production of tomatoes and other produce has been in vogue for some time.
答案解析:因为是第一道题,因此我们从文章开头开始寻找。根据indoor定位到这句话。从题干中可以推测,空上应该填一种作物,由此确定答案为tomatoes。
第2题答案:urban centres/centers
对应原文:第2段:Situated in the heart of urban centres, they would drastically reduce the amount of transportation required to bring food to consumers.
答案解析:顺着上一题往下,根据consumers定位到这句话。从题干可以推测文章来自老烤鸭雅思空上应该填一个地点,再加上located与situated的同义替换,由此确定答案为urban centres。之所以不填heart是因为heart本身表意不够明确,而如果带上后面内容的话又会超字数。
第3题答案:energy
对应原文:第4段:Although the system would consume energy, it would return energy to the grid via methane generation from composting non- edible parts of plants.
答案解析:根据methane定位到这句话。题干中问的是垂直农场可以利用沼气来生产什么,句子中只有energy填上去语义合适。
第4题答案:fossil fuel
对应原文:第4段:It would also dramatically reduce fossil fuel use, by cutting out the need for tractors, ploughs and shipping.
答案解析:这道题的定位要稍微难一些,需要识别出agricultural vehicles和tractors, ploughs的替换。consumption与use对应,根据修饰关系确定答案为fossil fuel。
第5题答案:artificial
对应原文:第5段:A major drawback of vertical farming, however, is that the plants would require artificial light.
答案解析:根据drawback与disadvantage的对应定位这句话。light原词出现,很容易根据修饰关系确定答案为artificial。
第6题答案:(stacked) trays
对应原文:第6段:One variation on vertical farming that has been developed is to grow plants in stacked trays that move on rails.
答案解析:根据variation与form的同义替换定位到这句话。从题干中可以推测出空上填的应该是把植物种在哪里,由此锁定stacked trays。
第7题答案:(urban) rooftops
对应原文:第7段:most experts currently believe it is far more likely that we will simply use the space available on urban rooftops.
答案解析:根据probable与likely的同义替换定位到这句话。从题干中可以推测空上填的应该是一个地点或者位置,再加上介词on原词出现,由此确定urban rooftops为答案。
第8题答案:NOT GIVEN
对应原文:第1段:Applying the most conservative estimates to current demographic trends
答案解析:原文中只有这一句提到了人口的估算方法,但其中并没有任何changed的对应点,也找不到与其相反的内容,因此判断答案为NOT GIVEN。
第9题答案:TRUE
对应原文:第1段:Historically, some 15% of that has been laid waste by poor management practices.
第3段:Along the way, we most of the land we worked
答案解析:第一段中提到,管理不善导致大约15%的土地荒废。第3段中由再次强调,在这一过程中,我们破坏了大部分耕作的土地。可见人类要为耕地的破坏负责,由此判断答案为TRUE。
第10题答案:FALSE
对应原文:第2段:vertical farms offer … through year-round production of all crops
答案解析:原文中明确提到,垂直农业可以一年到头生产粮食。题干中depend on the season的描述与此不符,由此判断答案为FALSE。
第11题答案:TRUE
对应原文:第3段:due to a rapidly changing climate, that is not what happens. Massive floods, long droughts, hurricanes and severe monsoons take their toll each year, destroying millions of tons of valuable crops.
答案解析:第三段最后提到,由于迅速的气候变化,情况并不如人所愿。洪灾、长期干旱、飓风和强烈的季风每年都会摧毁数百万吨宝贵的粮食。题干的描述相当于是原文的精简,由此判断答案为TRUE。
第12题答案:FALSE
对应原文:第4段:eliminating the need for herbicides, pesticides and fertilisers.
答案解析:第4段中间提到,垂直农业会消除对除草剂、杀虫剂和肥料的需要。而题干则说仍然需要肥料。两者互相冲突,由此判断答案为FALSE。
第13题答案:TRUE
对应原文:第4段:The system would greatly reduce the incidence of many infectious diseases that are acquired at the agricultural interface.
答案解析:题干中vertical farming与the system对应,plants与agricultural对应,less likely与reduce the incidence对应,infectious diseases原词出现。即题干中的每个信息点在原文中都可以找到依据,由此判断答案为TRUE。
