篇目: 17-3-1 The thylacine
题目1: 判断题
12.From 1930 to 1936, the only known living thylacines were all in captivity.
原文
Paragraph 7
The last known wild thylacine to be killed was shot by a farmer inthe north-east of Tasmania in 1930, leaving just captive specimens.Official protection of the species by the Tasmanian government wasintroduced in July 1936,59 days before the last known individuadied in Hobart Zoo on 7th September, 1936.
正确答案: T
解析:题目说1930年到1936年,所有的已知存活的thylacine都是圈养的。原文提及到最后一只野生的thylacine被农民在1930年射杀,1936年引进了对thylacine的保护,59天之后最后一只thylacine死在了动物园里。
易错原因:
1.题目不是对原文句子的直接改写,而是把两句话的内容整合到了一起成为了新的句子,需要精读理解原文的内容。
2.captivity这个单词很多同学不认识,无法把他和原文替换所以会误选NG。
3.before这个时间状语引导的句子不仔细看会把时间弄混淆。
拓展1.在雅思阅读中判断题的题目和原文经常出现大幅度的替换,光靠找出单词的替换不够,必须精读且准确理解题目和原文才能选出正确答案。
2.Captivity n.禁;关押;圈养
练习1: 8-1-2 AIRTRAFFIC CONTROLIN THEUSA
题目:判断题
24.Class F airspace is airspace which is below 365m and not near airports.
原文
Paragraph E ...ln general, from 365m above the ground and higher the entire country is blanketed by controlled airspace.lncertain areas, mainly near airports, controlled airspace extends downto 215m above the ground, and,in the immediate vicinity of anairport,all the way down to the surface...
Paragraph G ...Uncontrolled airspace is designated Class F, whilecontrolled airspace below 5,490m above sea eve and not in thevicinity ofan airport is Class E..
答案:T
解析:题目中表明Class F airspace是低于365m且不在机场附近的区域,原文需要根据365m和Class F定位到不同的段落。先通过E段获取信息,得知controlled airspace是365m以上且不在机场附近的区域,再通过G段明确Class F airspace 是uncontrolled airspace,得出答案为T
练习2:8-1-2 AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLIN THEUSA
题目:判断题
26.A pilot entering Class C airspace is flying over an average sized city.
原文:
Paragraph G:
...Three other types of airspace, Classes D, C and B, govern the vicinity of airports. These correspond roughly to small municipal medium-sized metropolitan and major metropolitan airports
respectively,and encompass an increasingly rigorous set of regulations...
答案:T
解析
题目提到进入Class Cairspace 的飞行员是在中等大小的城市上空飞行,原文中根据respectively这个单词理解Classes D,C and B三种分别对应small municipal,medium-sized metropolitan and major metropolitan airports,所以判定答案为T。
拓展: respectively adv.分别地;依次地
题目2:判断题
13 Attempts to find living thylacines are now rarely made
原文:
Paragraph8.
There have been numerous expeditions and searches for the thylacine over the years, none of which has produced definitive evidence that thylacines still exist. The species was declared extinct by the Tasmanian governmentin 1986.
正确答案: NG
解析:题目说目前很少尝试寻找活着的thvlacines了,原文中提到过去人们做了许多次尝试寻找thylacines并且都失败了,这个物种在1986年被宣告灭绝,但是没有明确提及现在是否还在尝试寻找活着的thylacines。
易错原因: 原文提及了过去做过尝试,加上后文说到宣告thylacines这个物种灭绝,很多同学认为这就意味着现在就没有进行寻找了,故而误选T。判断题是细节题,选择T或F选项需要看到明确的信息,而不能加入个人的主观想法。
拓展“,none of which...”导了后置定语,类似的用法还有some of which等。
练习1:8-1-2 AIRTRAFFIC CONTROLIN THEUSA
题目:判断题
22 .Beacons and flashing lights are still used by ATC today.
原文:
Paragraph B:
...As early as the 1920s, the earliest air traffic controllers manually guided aircraft in the vicinity of the airports, using lightsand flags, while beacons and flashing lights were placed along crossto establish the earliest airwavs.However. this purelycountrvroutesvisual system was useless in bad weather, and, by the 1930s, radiocommunication was coming into use for ATC.The first region to havesomething approximating today's ATC was New York City, with othermajormetropolitan areas following soon after.
答案: NG
解析:题目说Beacons and flashing lights 在今天的ATC中仍然被使用。原文提及到了 beacons and flashing lights系统被用作建立最早的航空以建立最早的航空公司,后文提到了纯粹了视觉系统在糟糕天气是没用的,ATC引进了radio communication。很多同学会脑补出来那么beacons andflashing lights就被替换掉了故而误选F,但是原文其实是没有提及今天的ATC是否仍在使用的。
练习2:7-3-1 AntIntelligence
题目: 判断题
6.The essay,'In the company of ants',explores ant communication.
原文
Paragraph 11:
.....lt's no surprise that Edward Wilson, in his essay,'In the company of ants, advises readers who ask what to do with the ants in their kitchen to: Watch where vou step, Be careful of little lives.
答案:NG
解析:题目说In the company of ants这篇文章探索了蚂蚁的交流,原文中只提到了作者建议读者要小心脚下的蚂蚁,没有提及蚂蚁的交流相关的内容。
