劍橋雅思16 Test1 Passage2閱讀答案解析

第14題答案：iv

對(duì)應(yīng)原文：段落A：However,there is no question that,as far as Egypt is concerned,it began with one monument to one king designed by one brilliant architect:the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara.

答案解析：自然段A最后一句提到，只要討論到與埃及相關(guān)的話題，永遠(yuǎn)都是從位于塞加拉的喬塞爾階梯金字塔開始的。即在眾多不確定中，這一點(diǎn)是肯定的，由此確定iv為正確答案。

第15題答案：vii

對(duì)應(yīng)原文：段落B：Djoser’s main official…conceived of building a taller,more impressive tomb for his king by stacking stone slabs on top of one another,progressively making them smaller,to form the shape now known as the Step Pyramid

答案解析：之前的金字塔都是由干燥后的陶土磚建成，而且是矩形的。后來，喬塞爾的主要幕僚提出要用石頭，最終形成階梯狀。即改變了墓穴結(jié)構(gòu)的設(shè)計(jì)，由此確定vii。

第16題答案：ii

對(duì)應(yīng)原文：段落C：Much experimentation was involved…The weight of the enormous mass was a challenge for the builders

答案解析：C段中提到，金字塔建造過程中進(jìn)行了許多實(shí)驗(yàn)，而且巨大石塊的重量也給建造者們提出挑戰(zhàn)。雖然整段沒有明顯的主題句，但可以比較清晰的看出主要是在描述建造過程的難度，由此確定ii為答案。

第17題答案：v

對(duì)應(yīng)原文：D段整段話。

答案解析：這道題比較簡單一些。D自然段對(duì)金字塔所在的建筑群和外圍設(shè)施進(jìn)行了詳細(xì)的描述，包括圍墻、假門、壕溝等，很容易確定v為正確答案。

第18題答案：i

對(duì)應(yīng)原文：段落E：The burial chamber of the tomb,where the king’s body was laid to rest,was dug beneath the base of the pyramid,surrounded by a vast maze of long tunnels…One of the most mysterious discoveries found inside the pyramid was a large number of stone vessels.

答案解析：E段主要描述了金字塔內(nèi)部的迷宮和大量的石制容器。前者對(duì)應(yīng)i選項(xiàng)中的areas，后者對(duì)應(yīng)artefacts，由此鎖定答案。

第19題答案：viii

對(duì)應(yīng)原文：段落F：a small number of his valuables overlooked by the thieves.There was enough left throughout the pyramid and its complex,however,to astonish and amaze the archaeologists who excavated it.

答案解析：盡管金字塔內(nèi)只留下一些盜墓賊看不上的物品。但它們已經(jīng)足以讓進(jìn)行發(fā)掘的考古學(xué)家感到震驚。viii選項(xiàng)中，few remains對(duì)應(yīng)a small number和enough left，increadible experience對(duì)應(yīng)astonish and amaze，由此確定答案。

第20題答案：vi

對(duì)應(yīng)原文：段落G：The Step Pyramid…became the archetype which all the other great pyramid builders of Egypt would follow.

答案解析：G段最后一句提到，“階梯金字塔成為其他埃及金字塔建造者遵從的典范”。vi選項(xiàng)中copied對(duì)應(yīng)follow，其他基本都是原詞，由此確定答案。

第21題答案：city

對(duì)應(yīng)原文：段落D：The complex in which it was built was the size of a city in ancient Egypt

答案解析：關(guān)于金字塔外圍的描述主要集中在D段，空前詞as big as對(duì)應(yīng)the size of，根據(jù)修飾關(guān)系確定city為正確答案。

第22題答案：priests

對(duì)應(yīng)原文：段落D：…included a temple,courtyards,shrines,and living quarters for the priests.

答案解析：順著上一題往下，題干中accommodation對(duì)應(yīng)living quarters，根據(jù)句義可以推斷空上應(yīng)該填某種人，由此鎖定priests。

第23題答案：trench

對(duì)應(yīng)原文：段落D：the entire wall was then ringed by a trench 750 meters long and 40 meters wide.

答案解析：從題干可以看出，空上要填的是墻外有什么。空后詞encircled與ringed同義替換，由此鎖定trench。

第24題答案：location

對(duì)應(yīng)原文：段落D：If someone wished to enter,he or she would have needed to know in advance how to find the location of the true opening in the wall.

答案解析：根據(jù)know定位到這句話，題干中real entrance對(duì)應(yīng)true opening，根據(jù)所有格關(guān)系確定location為正確答案。

第25題答案：B

對(duì)應(yīng)原文：段落B：Djoser is thought to have reigned for 19 years,but some historians and scholars attribute a much longer time for his rule

答案解析：段落B的最后一句提到，人們普遍認(rèn)為喬塞爾統(tǒng)治了19年的時(shí)間，但一些歷史學(xué)家和學(xué)者認(rèn)為他的統(tǒng)治時(shí)間要更長一些。即關(guān)于他的統(tǒng)治長度存在爭議，由此確定B為正確答案。

第26題答案：D

對(duì)應(yīng)原文：段落F：all archaeologists found were a small number of his valuables overlooked by the thieves

答案解析：F段中間靠后位置提到，考古學(xué)家發(fā)現(xiàn)的僅僅是被盜墓賊所看不上的、喬塞爾財(cái)寶的一小部分。即一部分財(cái)寶仍然在墓穴中，由此確定D為正確答案。
