剑桥雅思17 Test4 Passage3阅读答案解析
老烤鸭雅思原创解析，请勿抄袭转载
第27题答案：D
对应原文：D段：The first recorded game in Europe was played in 13th-century Florence. In 1947, the Argentinian grandmaster Miguel Najdorf played 45 simultaneous games in his mind
答案解析：D段提到与盲棋相关的两段历史记录。一段发生在13世纪的佛罗伦萨，一段发生在1947年。都可以对应题干中的earlier examples，由此确定其为正确答案。
第28题答案：E
对应原文：E段：The nature of the game is to run through possible moves in the mind to see how they play out. From this, regular players develop a memory for the patterns the pieces make, the defences and attacks.
答案解析：这道题的关键在于理解题干上outline的含义。除了表示大纲之外，它还可以表示要点、梗概等。E部分开头文章来自老烤鸭雅思提到了盲棋对弈的本质，即“在脑海中推算所有可能的下法以观测它们如何被演绎出来。以此为基础，普通的选手记下棋子防守与进攻的模式”。nature对应outline，由此确定其为正确答案。
第29题答案：F
对应原文：F段：We didn’t find anything other than playing chess that he seems to be supremely gifted at
答案解析：F段中，Rissman表示，除了象棋之外，他们并没有发现任何Gareyev擅长的领域。other than playing chess对应题干中的limited to chess，gifted at对应skill，由此确定其为正确答案。
第30题答案：B
对应原文：B段：But the thing that’s so remarkable about Timur and a few other individuals is the number of games they can keep active at once. To me it is simply astonishing
答案解析：B段一开始就提到Gareyev引起象棋圈之外的兴趣。但一直到末尾才给出这种兴趣产生的原因。“Timur和其他人如此引人注目的地方在于同时进行的对局数量。对我而言，这太不可思议了”。由此确定其为正确答案。
第31题答案：H
对应原文：H段：The most important part of blindfold chess for me is that I have found the one thing that I can fully dedicate myself to
答案解析：H段最后提到，“我觉得盲棋最重要的地方在于我找到了一件自己可以全力以赴的事情”。其中the most important part独赢priorities，由此判断其为正确答案。
第32题答案：E
对应原文：E段：But the ends of games are taxing too, as exhaustion sets in.
答案解析：E段靠后位置提到，“因为疲惫，对局的末尾也很吃力”。其中last part对应ends，taxing对应difficult，exhaustion对应reason，由此确定其为正确答案。
第33题答案：FALSE
对应原文：A段：While his challengers will play the games as normal, Gareyev himself will be blindfolded.
答案解析：根据A段的描述，在接下来开始的比赛中，Gareyev的挑战者们将会如常下棋，只有他会蒙上眼睛。题干中all the participants的描述与此不符，由此判断答案为FALSE。
第34题答案：NOT GIVEN
对应原文：A段：he gets his kicks from the adventure sport of BASE jumping.
答案解析：原文只是提到，Gareyev会从定点跳伞中获得极大的乐趣，并没有任何有关其是否得奖的描述。题干中won competitions的说法属于无中生有，由此判断答案为NOT GIVEN。
第35题答案：NOT GIVEN
对应原文：B段：In the hope of understanding how he and others like him can perform such mental feats, researchers at the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA) this article is from laokaoya website called him in for tests.
答案解析：从原文中我们只能得出UCLA进行了相关研究，至于其是否是第一个则无从得知。题干中the first university的说法属于无中生有，由此判断答案为NOT GIVEN。
第36题答案：TRUE
对应原文：E段：Accomplished players can develop the skill of playing blind
答案解析：E段开头提到，高超的选手可以培养下盲棋的能力。题干中good对应accomplished，are likely to对应can，be able to对应the skill，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37题答案：memory
对应原文：F段：The scientists first had Gareyev perform some standard memory tests.
答案解析：F段描述了实验的具体过程，根据started与first的对应定位到其第一句话。空前词testing在原文中只是更改了词性，根据修饰关系，很容易锁定memory为正确答案。
第38题答案：numbers
对应原文：F段：One classic test measures how many numbers a person can repeat, both forwards and backwards, soon after hearing them.
答案解析：顺着上一题往下，根据repeat与recall, in order与forwards, in reverse order与backwards的对应定位到这句话。题干问的是他需要回忆一系列的什么，原文中填上去语义合适的只有numbers一词，由此确定其为正确答案。
第39题答案：communication
对应原文：F段：the scans found much greater than average communication between parts of Gareyev’s brain that make up what is called the frontoparietal control network.
答案解析：根据scans showed与scans found的对应定位到这句话，空后词within the areas of Gareyev’s brain对应between parts of Gareyev’s brain，由限定关系锁定communication为正确答案。
第40题答案：visual
对应原文：G段：Initial results suggest that the areas of his brain that process visual images – such as chess boards – may have stronger links to other brain regions, and so be more powerful than normal.
答案解析：这道题的定位会比较难一些。我们需要一直往下找，直到发现unusual strength对应more powerful才能确定答案在这句话里。虽然原文中没有input的明显同义替换，但从题干可以看出空上应该填形容词。而原文中能够与input（输入）搭配的之后visual，由此确定其为正确答案。
