劍橋雅思16 Test4 Passage1閱讀答案解析

第1題答案：posts

對應原文：第1段：…which consisted of placing posts over a hill in a straight line,to ensure that the tunnel kept to its route

答案解析：根據(jù)標題定位到文章的第1段，從圖片箭頭指示可以看出，空上填的應該是地面上的東西，由此確定posts為正確答案。

第2題答案：canal

對應原文：第1段：Once the tunnel was completed,it allowed water to flow from the top of a hillside down towards a canal,which supplied water for human use

答案解析：順著上一題往下，根據(jù)local people和human use的對應定位到這句話，空前詞runs into與flow towards同義替換，根據(jù)修飾關系，確定答案為canal。

第3題答案：vetilation

對應原文：第1段：The excavated soil was taken up to the surface using the shafts,which also provided ventilation during the work.

答案解析：根據(jù)shaft和soil定位到第1段的這句話，空前詞and與also同義替換，由并列關系確定答案為ventilation。

第4題答案：lid

對應原文：第2段：…and were covered with a wooden or stone lid

答案解析：根據(jù)標題定位到第2段，再根據(jù)wooden or stone定位到這句話，很容易鎖定lid為正確答案。

第5題答案：weight

對應原文：第2段：Romans hung a plumb line from a rod placed across the top of each shaft and made sure that the weight at the end of it hung in the center of the shaft.

答案解析：根據(jù)rod和plumb line定位到這句話，圖片問的是繩子末端掛的是什么，由at the end鎖定weight（重物）。

第6題答案：climbing

對應原文：第2段：The shafts were equipped with handholds and footholds to help those climbing in and out of them

答案解析：根據(jù)handholds and footholds定位到這句話，原文中填上去既符合詞性要求，又符合句義的只有climbing，由此確定答案。

第7題答案：FALSE

對應原文：第3段：It was used to cut through high mountains,when the qanat method was not a practical alternative

答案解析：原文第3段表示，反向挖掘法在暗渠法無法使用的時候才會派上用場，可見它并沒有完全取代后者。題干中completely replaced的說法太過絕對，由此判斷答案為FLASE。

第8題答案：NOT GIVEN

對應原文：無

答案解析：原文中完全沒有提到隧道建設的用工要求，可以比較容易的判斷為NOT GIVEN。

第9題答案：FALSE

對應原文：第3段：An inscription written on the side of a 428-meter tunnel,built by the Romans as part of the Saldae aqueduct system in modern-day Algeria,describes how the two teams of builders missed each other in the mountain and how the later construction of a lateral link between both corridors corrected the initial error.

答案解析：雖然題干對應句子很復雜，但從開頭inscription就可以看出這一事件并不是記載在書里，而是在隧道側面的銘刻上，由此判斷答案為FALSE。

第10題答案：TRUE

對應原文：第3段：describes how the two teams of builders missed each other in the mountain

答案解析：原文中所描述的Saldae aqueduct system的錯誤在于兩隊建筑工人在山中彼此錯過，即隧道兩段沒有相遇，由此判斷答案為TRUE。

第11題答案：gold

對應原文：第4段：Traces of such tunnels used to mine gold can still be found at the Dolaucothi mines in Wales

答案解析：根據(jù)Dolaucothi定位到第4段，附近提到的礦石種類只有gold，由此確定答案。

第12題答案：(the)architect(‘s)(name)

對應原文：第5段：Most tunnels had inscriptions showing the names of patrons who ordered construction and sometimes the name of the architect.

答案解析：根據(jù)patron定位到第5段中間靠后的位置，由并列關系確定architect為正確答案。

第13題答案：(the)harbour/harbor

對應原文：第5段：the 1.4-kilometer Cevlik tunnel in Turkey,built to divert the floodwater threatening the harbor of the ancient city of Seleuceia Pieria

答案解析：根據(jù)Cevlik定位到第5段的最后。題干問的是Seleuceia Pieria的哪部分，根據(jù)所有格表達的所屬關系確定答案為harbor。
