剑桥雅思16 Test3阅读答案解析

Questions 1-5
Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 1?
1. The Romans’ shipbuilding skills were passed on to the Greeks and the Egyptians.
第 1题答案：FALSE
解析：
定位词：passed,Greeks,Egyptians
对应原文第一段第三句:
The Romans were not traditionally sailors but mostly land-based people, who leared to build ships from the people that they conquered,namely the Greeks and the Eqyptians.
题干:
The Romans’ shipbuilding skills were passed on to the Greeks and the Egyptians.
译文:
罗马人的造船技术传给了希腊人和埃及人。
本题有大写人名进行定位，根据原文给出的句意，“罗马人的造船技术是从希腊人和埃及人所学到的”，要注意题干中的动词词组pass on to 是“继承给…”的意思，所以这一题是False.
2. Skilled craftsmen were needed for the mortise and tenon method of fixing planks.
第 2题答案：NOT GIVEN
解析：
定位词：craftsmen,mortise and tenon
对应原文第二段第四句:
Starting from the 6th centuny BCE,they were fixed using a method caled mortise and tenon, whereby one plank locked into another without the need for stitching.
题干:
Skilled craftsmen were needed for the mortise and tenon method of fixing planks.
译文:
用榫卯法固定木板需要熟练的工匠来进行。
本题的mortise和tenon是可以容易定位到原文，这两个词虽然不认识，很少见，猜测应该是两个专业工具名词。这一句话后面的词都出现了，但始终没有说skilled craftsmen were needed,所以选Not Given.
3. The later practice used by Mediterranean shipbuilders involved building the hull before the frame.
第 3题答案：FALSE
解析：
定位词：Mediterranean shipbuilders,frame
对应原文第二段第五句:
Then in the frst centuries of the curent area, Mediterranean shipbuilders shifted to another shipbuilding method, still in use today, which consisted of building the frame first and then proceeding with the hull and the other components of the ship.
题干:
The later practice used by Mediterranean shipbuilders involved building the hull before the frame.
译文:
后来地中海造船商采用的做法是先建造船体，后建造框架。
本题进行定位不难，有大写地名;该题也涉及到一个同义替换，即invoving替换原文的consisted of。做题时主要是区分hul和frame的先后顺序，原文说的是先是搭建框架再进行hul的步骤，所以判断这题是False.
