剑桥雅思11 Test2 Passage2阅读答案解析
第14题答案:ii
对应原文:A段:Modern science – linguistic, archaeological and genetic evidence – has definitively proved the moai builders were Polynesians
答案解析:A段中间提到,现代科学明确证明摩艾像的建造者为波利尼西亚人。即有关摩艾像问题的毫无争议的答案,由此确定答案为ii。但这道题并不太好定位,因此建议大家如果在考试中遇到这种情况,可以先看其他题目,最后拐回来再做。这时候选项范围已经大大缩小。
第15题答案:ix
对应原文:B段:As trees became scarce and they could no longer construct wooden canoes for fishing, they ate birds. Soil erosion decreased their crop yields.
答案解析:B段中间靠后位置提到,随着树木变得稀少,他们无法继续建造文章来自老烤鸭雅思木制独木舟来捕鱼,只能以鸟类为食。水土流失导致粮食产量减少。即逐渐消失的食物来源。由此确定答案为ix。
第16题答案:viii
对应原文:C段:The moai, he thinks, accelerated the self-destruction.
答案解析:C段开头提到,摩艾像加速了这一自我毁灭的过程,随后对这一论断进行了详细解释。对应viii选项中雕像如何使情况变得更差,由此锁定答案。
第17题答案:i
对应原文:D段:They built thousands of circular stone windbreaks and gardened inside them, and used broken volcanic rocks to keep the soil moist.
答案解析:D段中后部提到,考古发掘表明,他们建造了上千个环形石头防风带,在里面耕种,并利用破碎的火山岩来保持土壤湿润。即创新环境管理实践的证据,由此确定答案为i。
第18题答案:iv
对应原文:E段:On that issue, Hunt and Lipo say, archaeological evidence backs up Rapanui folklore.
答案解析:E段中部提到,在这一问题上,Hunt和Lipo认为考古证据支持拉帕努伊的民间传说。iv选项中support与back up对应,local belief与Rapanui folklore对应,由此确定答案。
第19题答案:vii
对应原文:F段:Moreover, Hunt and Lipo are convinced that the settlers were not wholly responsible for the loss of the island’s trees.
答案解析:F段第一句提到,Hunt和Lipo认为岛上居民不应该承担森林损失的全部责任。随后又详细说明老鼠和欧洲人的影响。对应vii选项中居民控制之外的破坏。由此确定答案。
第20题答案:vi
对应原文:G段:Hunt and Lipo’s vision, therefore, is one of an island populated by peaceful and ingenious moai builders and careful stewards of the land, rather than by reckless destroyers ruining their own environment and society.
答案解析:这道题的解题关键在于千万不要多想,只用去原文寻找对应的信息点即可。不要因为提到了Hunt和Lipo的名字,就认为G段只有他们一方的观点,rather than后面也算。
第21题答案:farming
对应原文:B段:When the islanders cleared the forests for firewood and farming
答案解析:根据标题定位到B段中部,cutting down trees与clear the forests对应,firewood在题干中已有相应信息(fuel),因为确定答案为farming。
第22题答案:canoes
对应原文:B段:As trees became scarce and they could no longer construct wooden canoes for fishing
答案解析:根据fishing定位到这句话,build与construct同义替换,由此锁定canoes为答案。
第23题答案:birds
对应原文:B段:they ate birds.
答案解析:承接上文,在无法捕鱼之后,他们以鸟类为食,即将鸟作为食物来源,由此锁定birds。
第24题答案:wood
对应原文:C段:but that required both a lot of wood and a lot of people.
答案解析:Diamond对摩艾像的描述主要集中在C段,根据people定位到这句话。再根据并列关系和a lot of确定wood为答案。
第25题答案:B
对应原文:C段:Diamond thinks they laid the moai on wooden sledges, hauled over log rails, but that required both a lot of wood and a lot of people.
E段:They also believe that moving the moai required few people and no wood
答案解析:Diamond认为摩艾像的移动需要大量的人力和木头,而Hunt和Lipo则认为移动摩艾像需要的人力很少,不需要木头。即双方观点不一致,由此确定B为答案。
第26题答案:C
对应原文:C段:The moai, he thinks, accelerated the self-destruction.
E段:Hunt and Lipo contend that moai-building was an activity that helped keep the peace between islanders.
答案解析:Diamond认为摩艾像加速了自我毁灭。而Hunt和Lipo则认为摩艾像的建造是维持岛上居民和平的一种手段。两者对于其作用的判断不同,由此确定C为答案。
