剑桥雅思17 Test1 Passage1阅读答案解析
老烤鸭雅思原创解析,请勿抄袭转载,尤其是上海新航道
第1题答案:population
对应原文:第1段:In the first half of the 1800s, London’s population grew at an astonishing rate
答案解析:根据between 1800 and 1850与first half of the 1800s的对应定位到第1段的第1句。题目采用所有格替换,将原文中的’s替换为of结构,由修饰关系确定答案为population。
第2题答案:suburbs
对应原文:第2段:His idea was to relocate the poor workers who lived in the inner-city slums to newly constructed suburbs
答案解析:根据上一行的人名定位到第2段,再根据move与relocate的对应定位到这句话。从空前介词in可以推断出答案应该是某个地点,由此锁定suburbs。
第3题答案:businessmen
对应原文:第2段:Pearson’s ideas gained support amongst some businessmen
答案解析:顺着上一题往下,根据Pearson’s ideas定位到这句话。空前短语a number of与some同义替换,由修饰关系确定答案为businessmen。
第4题答案:funding
对应原文:第3段:The organisation had difficulty in raising the funding for such a radical and expensive scheme
答案解析:跟之前题目相比,这道题稍微有些难度。需要根据company与organisation,problems与difficulty两组词的对应才能真正确定答案在这句话中。但只要找到这句话,从词性和句子意思很容易判断funding为正确答案。
第5题答案:press
对应原文:第3段:not least because of the critical articles printed by the press
答案解析:顺着上一题往下,根据articles定位到这句话,由题目意思锁定press为正确答案。
第6题答案:soil
对应原文:第4段:finally a brick arch was added to create a tunnel. A two-metre-deep layer of soil was laid on top of the tunnel
答案解析:根据brick arch定位到第4段的这句话。题干问的是隧道被什么所覆盖,其中cover与laid on top of对应,由此确定答案为soil。
第7题答案:FALSE
对应原文:第5段:The Metropolitan line, which opened on 10 January 1863, was the world’s first underground railway.
答案解析:文章第5段开头提到,Metropoolitan line是世界上第一条地铁线路。可见之前并没有其他国家修建过。题干中的说法与原文相反,由此判断答案为FALSE。
第8题答案:NOT GIVEN
对应原文:第5段:On its first day, almost 40,000 passengers were carried between Paddington and Farringdon
答案解析:文章只提到第一天有40000人乘坐Metropolitan line,之前预计的数据如何则完全找不到。题干中more than predicted属于无中生有,由此判断答案为NOT GIVEN。
第9题答案:TRUE
对应原文:第6段:smoke and fumes remained a problem, even though ventilation shafts were added to the tunnels.
答案解析:文章第6段最后一句提到,尽管增加了排气扇,但烟雾和废气仍然是个问题。可见排气扇未能解决隧道中的污染,由此判断答案为TRUE。
第10题答案:TRUE
对应原文:第7段:The ‘cut and cover’ method of construction was not an option in this part of the capital. The only alternative was to tunnel deep underground.
答案解析:第7段最后提到,cut and cover的建造方法不适用于城市中心。唯一的替代方案文章来自老烤鸭雅思是在地下深处建造隧道。题干中different approach对应alternative,technique对应method,剩下的基本是原词,即所有信息点在原文中都能找到依据,由此判断答案为TRUE。
第11题答案:FALSE
对应原文:第8段:The carriages were narrow and had tiny windows just below the roof because it was thought that passengers would not want to look out at the tunnel walls.
答案解析:根据原文,City & South London线的窗户开在紧挨着车顶的地方。但单凭这句话我们无法判断窗户是否在视平线。需要结合后面那句话,即乘客不想看隧道墙壁才能判断答案为FALSE。
第12题答案:FALSE
对应原文:第8段:Although the City & South London Railway was a great technical achievement, it did not make a profit.
答案解析:根据原文,City & South London线并未盈利,题干中financial success的说法与此相冲突,由此判断答案为FALSE。
第13题答案:NOT GIVEN
对应原文:无
答案解析:原文完全没有提到Tuppenny Tube是否准时运营的问题,题干属于无中生有,由此确定答案为NOT GIVEN。
