Questions 1-7

题目类型:True / False / Not Given
题目解析:

1. It is generally believed that large numbers of people were needed to build the pyramids.
参考译文:人们一般认为修建金字塔需要大量的人力。
定位词:large numbers of people, build the pyramids
解题关键字:believed
文中对应点:第一段,The conventional picture is that tens of thousands of slaves dragged stoneson the sledges.
此题通过定位词可以迅速定位至首段第二句话,题干为对文章定位句的概括性改写,分析如下:
generally believed—conventional picture, large numbers of people—tens ofthousands of slaves
因此答案很明显应该是TRUE。

2. Clemmons found a strange hieroglyph on the wall of an Egyptian monument.
参考译文:Clemmons在一个埃及古迹的墙面上发现了一种奇怪的象形文字。
定位词:hieroglyph, Egyptian monument
解题关键字:found
文中对应点:第二段,While perusing a book on the monuments of Egypt, she noticed ahieroglyph that showed a row of men standing in odd postures.
此题定位词在文中原词出现,可以快速定位。文中定位句指出Clemmons是在一本关于埃及古迹的书中读到的象形文字信息,而题目却说她在一座埃及古迹的墙上发现了象形文字,显然题目与文章相悖,因此此题答案为FALSE。

3. Gharib had previously done experiments on bird flight.
参考译文:Gharib之前做过鸟类飞行的实验。
定位词:experiment, bird flight
解题关键字:previously done
文中对应点:题干的定位信息在文章中未出现,此题为最典型的“原文完全未提及型”,故答案为NOT GIVEN。

4. Gharib and Graft tested their theory before applying it.
参考译文:Gharib and Graff在应用他们的理论之前对其进行了验证。
定位词:theory
解题关键字:tested
文中对应点:第四段,Earlier this year, the team put Clemmons's unlikely theory to the test, ...
译文:今年早些时候,他们把Clemmons空头理论付诸实验。
显然题目与文章完全相符,因此此题答案为TRUE。

5. The success of the actual experiment was due to the high speed of the wind.
参考译文:现实中实验的成功是因为风的高速。
定位词:high speed of the wind
解题关键字:due to
文中对应点:第五段,The wind was blowing at a gentle 16 to 20 kilometres an hour, little morethan half what they thought would be needed.
此题按照顺序原则,在第五段首句定位出与风速相关的信息,但文中对于风速的描述为gentle和little more than half(与一半差不多),显然题目与原文不符,因此答案为FALSE。

6. They found that, as the kite flew higher, the wind force got stronger.
参考译文:他们发现当风帆飞得更高的时候,风力也变得更强。
定位词:kite, wind force
解题关键字:flew higher, got stronger
文中对应点:第五段,What they had failed to reckon with was what happened when the kitewas opened. “There was a huge initial force—five times larger than thesteady state force,”Gharib says.
译文:他们没有想到的是当风帆打开时会发生什么。“巨大的初始风力比恒稳状态风力还大五倍。”Gharib说道。
此题定位比较容易。在定位句中只提到了kite打开的时候wind force很大,对于题目中的两个比较级完全没提及,此题为典型的“题目内容文章部分提及型”,故答案为NOT GIVEN。

7. The team decided that it was possible to use kites to raise very heavy stones.
参考译文:他们的团队断定使用风帆提升很沉的石头是可能实现的。
定位词:kite, very heavy stones
解题关键字:possible to use
文中对应点:第五段,This jerk meant that kites could lift huge weights, Gharib realised.
此题按照顺序原则在上一题定位句之后就能找到定位词。题目与原文含义一致,均为“风帆可以提升极大的重量”,故答案为TRUE。

Questions 8-13

题目类型:Summary
解题方法:
1. 该Summary有小标题,可以通过扫描各段首句的方法定位出其解题段落为第七段。
2. 对于没有词库的Summary,需在回文定位之前预测空格所填词的词性,在定位时便于有目的地查找。

题目解析:

第8题
定位词:Egyptians
文中对应点:第七段,...like theEgyptians. And theyare known to haveused woodenpulleys, ...

题目解析:在定位段中查找定位词可以迅速定位于该段第二句。题中空格前为动词had,所以应于文中定位处扫描该动词或其同义词或其上下义词。此处扫描结果为to have used,则其后单词即为答案:(wooden)pulleys。

第9题
定位词:large pieces
文中对应点:第七段,..., which couldhave been madestrong enough tobear the weight ofmassive blocks ofstone.
题目解析:此题在文中定位紧接着上一题。通过扫描定位词得出large pieces of对应文中massiveblocks of,于是其后单词即为答案:stone。

第10题
定位词:energy fromthe wind
文中对应点:第七段,Harnessing the windwould not havebeen a problem foraccomplished sailorslike the Egyptians.
题目解析:此题为同一定位段内的乱序题,由于确定解题段为第七段,在两次定位后仍能将此空定位于段落次句。此空格前为介词as,则在定位处扫描该介词或其他介词。此处扫描结果为for,则其后单词即为答案:(accomplished)sailors。

第11题
定位词:pyramid, resembled
文中对应点:第七段,A wooden artefactfound on the steppyramid at Saqqaralooks uncannily likea modern glider.
题目解析:此题通过顺序原则可以很快定位,定位处looks uncannily like对应题中resembled,且空格需填写一个单数名词,则答案为(modern)glider。

第12题
定位词:suggest, haveexperimentedwith
文中对应点:第七段,..., its sophisticationsuggests that theEgyptians might havebeen developingideas of flight for a long time.
题目解析:此题解题技巧同第10题,由于空格前为介词with,故在定位句中扫描后定位于介词of,且have been developing ideas of对应于题中have experimented with,所以答案为of之后单词:flight。

第13题
定位词:China
文中对应点:第七段,..., the Chinesewere using them todeliver messages anddump flaming debrison their foes.

题目解析:此题技巧同第8题,空格前为动词sending,则在定位句中扫描得到动词deliver与之对应,其后单词即为答案:messages。

TIPS:在Summary的解题过程中,若空格前为动词或介词,则需在文中定位处查找该词或其同义词,且该词后的单词一般就是答案。
