第28题答案:C
对应原文:C段:first of all marking the site out into a grid and then salvaging everything down to the last door handle. The position of each fragment was recorded, and all the debris was stored in countless dustbins before being sifted and categorised.
答案解析:C段后半部分提到了火灾后的具体操作。“先是将火灾现场划分成区格,然后对所有的物品进行抢救,直到最后一个门把手。每个碎片的位置都被记录下来,所有的残骸都被放在无数的垃圾桶里,随后进行筛选和分类”。哪怕大家翻译不出来,根据first,then,before这种表示顺序的词汇也很容易确定答案为C。
第29题答案:B
对应原文:B段:The following morning … amongst the smoke. It was a scene of utter devastation.
答案解析:因为文章根据时间顺序展开,所以根据B段开头的the following morning即可得知这一段是在描述火灾后的情况。最后更是对灾后状况进行了总结 – 一副遭到彻底破坏的惨像,由此确定答案为B。
第30题答案:G
对应原文:G段:invest time and money in upgrading water and heating systems, installing modern environmental controls, and updating fire and security equipment
答案解析:G段后半部分提到了整修后的提升,包括升级了供水和加热系统,安装了现代环境控制,并对防火和安全设备进行了提升。由此确定其为正确答案。
第31题答案:F
对应原文:F段:The search for craftsmen and women capable of doing the intricate restoration work was nationwide.
答案解析:F段开头就提到在全国范围内寻找手工艺人进行修复工作。其中search对应selection,craftsmen and women对应people,do对应carry out,restoration对应rebuilt,由此确定其为正确答案。
第32题答案:E
对应原文:E段:after consulting many experts and with the agreement of the National Trust’s Executive Committee, the restoration program began. It was undertaken for three main reasons.
答案解析:E段中部提到,“在咨询了许多专家,并经过National Trust执行委员会的同意之后,重建项目开始了。该项目之所以得以建立是由于以下三个主要原因”。对应题目中的why,由此确定其为正确答案。
第33题答案:H
对应原文:H段:But the debate will no doubt continue as to whether or not it was right to repair the house after the fire.
答案解析:H段最后提到,“有关灾后重建该宅地是否正确的争论毫无疑问将继续下去”,即他人对重建的反应,由此确定H为正确答案。
第34题答案:August 31st
对应原文:A段:For a year builders had been replacing the lead on the roof, this article is from laokaoya website, and by a stroke of irony, were due to finish the next day, on August 31st
答案解析:根据1989和roof定位到文章的A段,原文中问的是屋顶的完工日期。finish对应completed,由此确定答案为August 31st。
第35题答案:human chain/chains
对应原文:A段:But … who formed human chains to pass the precious pieces of porcelain, furniture and paintings out onto the lawn, 95 per cent of the contents from the ground floor and the basement were saved.
答案解析:根据resuced与saved的对应定位到A段的这句话。题目问的是使用什么方法,原文中填上去语义合适的只有human chains,由此确定其为正确答案。
第36题答案:blotting paper
对应原文:A段:local stationers were especially opened to provide the bulk supplies of blotting paper so desperately needed in the salvage operation.
答案解析:顺着上一题往下,发现the bulk supplies of与large quantities of同义替换,根据修饰关系确定答案为blotting paper。
第37题答案:(countless) dustbins
对应原文:C段:all the debris was stored in countless dustbins before being sifted and categorised.
答案解析:C段具体描述了灾后抢救的方法,根据material与debris的同义替换定位到这句话。into对应in,由此确定答案为countless dustbins。
第38题答案:C
对应原文:D段:Twenty minutes later the ceiling fell in.
答案解析:文章D段提到,20分钟之后,房顶塌了。由此确定C为正确答案。根据原文A段,二层有一副狗的油画得以保存,而非全部藏品都被破坏。同时一层和地下室的大部分藏品都被救了出来,由此排除选项A,B,D。
第39题答案:C
对应原文:E段:Also the property was covered by insurance, so the repairs would not call upon the National Trust’s own funds.
答案解析:E段中部提到,该宅地投了保险,因此维修不需要使用国家信托基金,由此确定C为正确答案。
第40题答案:D
对应原文:F段:This has had enormous benefits because not only have a number of highly skilled people come to the fore – woodcarvers, for example, following in the footsteps of Grinling Gibbons
答案解析:根据F段内容,手工艺人得到的最大好处就是可以学习到之前的技艺,由此确定D为正确答案。
