剑桥雅思16 Test3阅读答案解析

Questions 27-32
Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 3?
29. Wheat and rice suffer from a rise in temperatures.
第 29题答案：TRUE
解析：
定位词：wheat and rice,rise,temperatures
对应原文D段后半部分:
Key crops such as wheat and rice are sensitive to high temperatures. Thermal stress reduces crop yields by around 10% for every one degree increase in temperature, says lead researcher Dr Philip Wigge from Cambridge’s Sainsbury Laboratory.
题干:
Wheat and rice suffer from a rise in temperatures.
译文:
小麦和水稻受到气温上升的影响。
根据定位给词，或遵照顺序往下读就能定位到原文D段后半部分。这一题不难，题干只是对原文进行了两处的同义替换，sufer from跟原文的be sensitive to,rise in temperatures跟原文的high temperatures/increase in temperature 进行匹配，所以这一题判断为T.
30. lt may be possible to develop crops that require less water.
第 30题答案：NOT GIVEN
解析：
定位词：possible,crops,less water
对应原文D段最后一句:
‘Discovering the molecules that allow plants to sense temperature has the potential to accelerate the breeding of crops resilient to thermal stress and climate change.’
题干:
It may be possible to develop crops that require less water.
译文:
开发需要更少水的农作物是可能的。
这一题通过crops可以定位到D段末尾，但是像less water这些词在原文中并未提及，所以无法给出判断，当无法给出判断的时候，就可以判断为Not Given.
