剑桥雅思13 Test3 Passage1阅读答案解析
第1题答案：furniture
对应原文：第2段：… up to 30 metres tall. This is an important source of timber for building houses, and is increasingly being used as a replacement for endangered hardwoods in the furniture construction industry.
答案解析：根据30 metres定位到第2段的这句话。从题干可以看出，空上应该填一个与house并列的词汇，而空前词making又与construction同义替换，由此确定furniture为答案。
第2题答案：sugar
对应原文：第2段：The flower stems may be tapped for their sap to produce a drink, and the sap can also be reduced by boiling to produce a type of sugar used for cooking.
答案解析：根据sap和drink定位到第2段的最后一句话，从题干可以看出，空上填的应该是某种产品的来源。原文句子里只有sugar填上去比较合适，由此确定答案。
第3题答案：ropes
对应原文：第3段：The thick fibrous middle layer produces coconut fibre, ‘coir’, which has numerous uses and is particularly important in manufacturing ropes.
答案解析：这道题考察椰壳中层的用途。原文总提到，它有广泛的用途，在绳索制造方面尤其重要。即可用于制作绳索，由此确定答案为ropes
第4题答案：charcoal
对应原文：第3段： The woody innermost layer, the shell, with its three prominent ‘eyes’, surrounds the seed. An important product obtained from the shell is charcoal
答案解析：这道题考察椰壳最里层的用途，因此定位到第3段的第4句和第5句，从原文中可以看出，该部分的一项重要产品是charcoal，由此锁定答案。
第5题答案：bowls
对应原文： 第3段：When broken in half, the shells are also used as bowls in many parts of Asia.
答案解析：顺着上一题往下，根据half与halved的同义替换定位到这个句子。空前词for对应used as，由此确定答案为bowls。
第6题答案：hormones
对应原文：第4段：coconut water, which is enjoyed as a drink, but also provides the hormones which encourage other plants to grow more rapidly and produce higher yields
答案解析：根据coconut water和drink定位到第4段的这句话，a source of与provides同义替换，根据修饰关系确定答案为hormones。
第7题答案：cosmetics
对应原文：第4段：Dried coconut flesh, ‘copra’, is made into coconut oil and coconut milk, which are widely used in cooking in different parts of the world, as well as in cosmetics.
答案解析：根据oil和milk定位到第4段的这句话，as well as与and对应，由此确定答案为cosmetics。
第8题答案：dynamite
对应原文：第4段：A derivative of coconut fat, glycerine, acquired strategic importance in a quite different sphere, as Alfred Nobel introduced the world to his nitroglycerine-based invention: dynamite.
答案解析：虽然大部分同学可能不认识glycerine（甘油），但从题干结构文章来自老烤鸭雅思我们可以看出空上应该填某种物品，而glycerine则是它的原料。根据这一点去原文中寻找，发现只有dynamite填上去合适，由此确定答案。
第9题答案：FALSE
对应原文：第5段： Literally cast onto desert island shores … exposed to the full glare of the tropical sun, coconut seeds are able to germinate and root.
答案解析：第5段中提到，椰子种子哪怕是暴露于威力全开的热带阳光之下，也能够生根发芽。题干中need shade（需要遮蔽）的描述与此不符，由此判断答案为FALSE。
第10题答案：FALSE
对应原文：第6段：16th century trade and human migration patterns reveal that Arab traders and European sailors are likely to have moved coconuts from South and Southeast Asia to Africa and then across the Atlantic to the east coast of America.
答案解析：根据原文描述，椰子的移植过程应该是从南亚和东南亚到非洲，然后再穿过大西洋到达美洲东海岸。题干中的移植顺序正好与此相反，由此判断答案为FALSE。
第11题答案：NOT GIVEN
对应原文：无
答案解析：原文并没有对美洲东西海岸的椰子进行对比，题干属于无中生有，因此判断为NOT GIVEN。
第12题答案：TRUE
对应原文：第6段：In Asia, there is a large degree of coconut diversity and evidence of millennia of human use – but there are no relatives growing in the wild.
答案解析：原文提到，在亚洲，没有野外生长的椰子的亲缘植物。可见各种椰子品种都是培育出来的，由此确定答案为TRUE。
第13题答案：NOT GIVEN
对应原文：无
答案解析：原文只是提到亚洲的椰子是培育出来的，至于美洲和太平洋的椰子是否是培育的，又是以哪种方式培育的则完全没有提及。因此判断答案为NOT GIVEN。
