剑桥雅思18 Test2 Part3听力答案解析
第21题答案：C
对应原文：what I found more significant was how it impacted directly and indirectly on political events, as well as having massive social and economic consequences
答案解析：C选项中profound对应massive，effect对应impacted和consequences，society对应social and economic，再加上题干中important与录音中significant的同义替换，由此确定C为正确答案。A选项错在most severe，B选项在录音中虽然有隐晦的提及，但不符合题干中so important的限定条件，因此排除。
第22题答案：A
对应原文：I was surprised there were so many weather stations established by that time
答案解析：A选项中the number of对应so many，places对应stations，由此确定其为正确答案。B选项contradictions与原文中consistent冲突，而C选项则完全找不到对应，因此通通排除。
第23题答案：B
对应原文：Reports from the period blamed the haze for an increase in headaches, respiratory issues and asthma attacks
答案解析：B选项中health issues对应headaches, respiratory issues and asthma attacks，因此确定其为正确答案。A选项中的be similar to与原文中this wasn’t the sort of fog they were used to的说法冲突，而C选项中的weeks则属于无中生有，因此统统排除。
第24题答案：B
对应原文：MICHELLE: It was Benjamin Franklin who realised that before anyone else.
ADAM: He’s often credited with that, apparently. But a French naturalist beat him to it
答案解析：Michelle认为是Benjamin Franklin第一个意识到雾霾的起因，但Adam对其进行了纠正，表示其实是一位法国自然学家。因此确定B选项为正确答案。
第25-26题答案：AB
对应原文：but not that the effects would go on for so long. This article is from laokaoya website. Or that two years after the eruption, strange weather events were being reported as far away as North America and North Africa.
答案解析：这道多选的关键在于题干中的surprised。录音中虽然确实也提到了C选项和D选项，但Adam表示这都是意料之中的事情。人们没有意料到的是，火山爆发的影响会持续如此之久，以及在北美和北非这些遥远的地方都有奇怪的天气出现，由此确定A和B为正确答案
第27题答案：D
对应原文：there was the effect on livestock as they grazed in the fields. They were poisoned
答案解析：火山爆发对冰岛的影响主要体现在牲畜上。它们因为吃了暴露在外面的草料而中毒。D选项animals对应livestocks，sickness对应poisoned，由此确定其为正确答案。
第28题答案：A
对应原文：the famine there led to more people dying than any other country
答案解析：火山爆发在埃及引发饥荒，死亡人数比其他国家都要多，因此确定A选项为正确答案。
第29题答案：C
对应原文：it was about double the usual number and included an unusually high percentage of people under the age of 25
答案解析：由于火山爆发，英国的死亡率比平时翻了一倍，25岁以下的人群尤其严重。C选项中young people对应people under the age of 25，因此确定其为正确答案。
第30题答案：F
对应原文：Yes, and there was ice floating down the Mississippi, which was unprecedented
答案解析：因为火山爆发，美国维吉尼亚州在3月份还被大雪围困，密西西比河上还漂浮着冰块。即冬天要比往日更加寒冷，因此确定F为正确答案。
