20、十六答案解析(总分：36.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、Passage 1(总题数：0，分数：0.00)二、Questions 1-5(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Method Advantages Disadvantages(1) Glass remained (2) Slow (3) RibbonCould produce glass sheets of varying (4) Non-stop processGlass was (5) 20% of glass rubbed awayMachines were expensive（分数：5.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：spinni
21、ng）解析：解析 这道题目要求填写的是一种制作方法，要通过表格中的 method以及这种方法后边的advantages和 disadvantages来定位，看看与表格中已经给出的 advantages和 disadvantages符合的这个 method是什么，并将其填入表格中即可。例如在表中，这个方法的缺点是 slow，而文中就有 the process took a long time的表述，找到这个 long time对应的方法：spinning 即可。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：perfectly unblemished）解析：解析 这道题目说的是 spinning method(旋压
22、法)的 advantages，所以在原文中的位置一定紧跟着方法，定位非常容易。定位之后，只要将题目的 remained与原文的 stayed对应，即可找到答案。这道题目需要考生理解 so it stayed perfectly unblemished中 it的指代，it 指的是前半句的 glass，如果不知道 it指代的是什么，则会有一定的麻烦。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：labour intensive）解析：解析 这道题目说的是 spinning method(旋压法)的 disadvantages，在原文中也非常容易定位。我们通过与之在同一个格子里的 slow与文中的 took a lo
23、ng time相对应，可以判断出正确答案肯定就是and后面的 was labour intensive，而 was是表语，加上题目要求中有 NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS，所以正确答案就是 labour intensive。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：thickness）解析：解析 这道题目说的是 ribbon(带式法)的 advantages，在原文中对应的句子比较容易确定。通过同一个格子里的 non-stop也可以确定本题答案的大概位置，但究竟哪个词(组)是答案，颇具难度，因为本题中空白处前面的关键词 varying在文中没有出现原形，而是以 any来表达同样的意思，这个 a
24、ny非常容易被忽略，一旦被忽略题目的答案就难以确定了。很多填空题(包括填表题和填图题)如果答案是名词，都需要通过空白前面的形容词来辅助确定答案。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：marked）解析：解析 这道题目具有一定难度。这个空白处本身给出的信息较少，我们只能通过逻辑分析来精确定位，首先看同一个空里的其他两项缺点 20%of glass rubbed away和 Machines were expensive，都在本段第四句提到了，那么这个空肯定在前边。而第三句前半句说的是优点(在第 4题中刚刚出现)，下半句有个 but转折，优点之后的 but一定是要说缺点了，所以定位位置锁定在 but the
25、 rollers would leave both sides of the glass marked, and these would then need to be ground and polished. Leave.marked表示“留下污点”，mark 有“留痕迹、留污点”的意思，所以答案是 marked。如果不知道 mark有这一层意思，我们按照平常的“标注”理解，也不妨碍考生做出这道题目。三、Questions 6-8(总题数：1，分数：3.00)（分数：3.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：molten glass）解析：解析 这三道填图题其实非常简单，答案都在第四段。做填图题
26、一定要利用图上的信息，首先通过题目可以确定这个图是讲用 Pilkington的 float process制作玻璃的，图中左边有一堆液体被倾倒下来，到一个平的东西(托盘也好车床也好)上边，右边有两个转轮滚动，可以将液体向右运输，液体依次通过熔化区再通过冷却区并且慢慢变平了。其实不用看文章都可以猜出来倒下来的东西就是液态玻璃(第 6题答案)，倒到一个平整的托盘上(第 7题答案)，被滚轴(第 8题答案)向右运输。有了这些猜想，我们再去文中找出这些内容在文中的确切名词，就可以了。从文中 pouring molten glass onto the molten tin我们可以判断出第 6题的答案就是
27、molten glass，而第 7题的答案就是 molten tin。之后 hot enough, flow over the molten tin和 cooled都符合我们的猜想，最后一句 be transported out of the cooling zone by roller得出第 8题的答案 rollers。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：molten tin/metal）解析：填空项 1:_ （正确答案：rollers）解析：四、Questions 9-13(总题数：5，分数：5.00)1.The metal used in the float process had to hav
28、e specific properties.（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：TRUE）解析：解析 题目说用于浮法工艺的金属必须具备特殊的属性，对应到原文中 the metal had to后边就是其所谓的特殊属性了，即对金属的熔点和沸点都有明确的要求。2.Pilkington invested some of his own money in his float plant.（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：NOT GIVEN）解析：解析 题目说皮尔金顿用自己的钱进行了投资，但文中没有任何依据，唯一有钱的地方就是上述原文。原文中只提到了花费公司的钱，没有说花费皮尔金顿
29、的钱。至于公司的钱是不是皮尔金顿的，文章也没说，也许是，也许不是，或许是哪个有钱的合伙人投资的也说不定，毕竟谁开的工厂不一定就是谁投的资。文中没有依据，不要自己进行推理。3.Pilkingtons first full-scale plant was an instant commercial success.（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：FALSE）解析：解析 这道题目需要考生进行一定的判断。首先通过 full-scale plant定位到原文，往下读就会发现这个工厂在制造出可用的玻璃之前一直在赔钱，等能赚钱的时候机器都停止运转了。这样的情形不可能是 instant comm
30、ercial success。4.The process invented by Pilkington has now been improved.（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：TRUE）解析：解析 从原文中可以得知流程工艺在今天确实得到了改进，虽然原文只是列举了改进的细节，而题目是描述了改进这一事实。干扰项 原文第七段第一句提到：the principle of float glass is unchanged since the 1950s，不仔细看会以为是玻璃的浮法工艺到今天没有任何改变，但实际上题目的 process与原文的叫 principle有本质区别，proces
31、s 是流程，principle 是原理，完全不同。举个例子，从第一辆燃油汽车被制造出来到今天，汽车的生产流程必然发生了翻天覆地的变化，丰田、福特都在很大程度上优化了汽车的生产流程，但是汽车的原理却没有改变，仍然是四个轮子，仍然是以燃油作为动力，没听说哪个汽车能飞。5.Computers are better than humans at detecting faults in glass.（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：TRUE）解析：解析 本题的解题关键在于将题目中的 computers和 humans分别与原文的 technology和 the unaided eye相对应，
32、技术可以识别肉眼识别不了的瑕疵，不就是计算机比人类更善于识别瑕疵吗?判断为 TRUE。五、Passage 2(总题数：0，分数：0.00)六、Questions 14-17(总题数：1，分数：4.00)i Predicting climatic changesii The relevance of the Little Ice Age todayiii How cities contribute to climate changeiv Human impact on the climatev How past climatic conditions can be determinedvi A
33、growing need for weather recordsvii A study covering a thousand yearsviii People have always responded to climate changeix Enough food at last（分数：4.00）(1).The climatic events of the Little Ice Age did more than help shape the modern world. They are the deeply important context for the current unprec
34、edented global warming.（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：ii）解析：解析 B 段提到了 the Little Ice Age对 modern world的影响，尤其从上述原文中集中体现出来。标题 ii的 the relevance of the Little Ice Age today能够正确反映本段的内容。(2).This book is a narrative history of climatic shifts during the past ten centuries, and some of the ways in which people in
35、Europe adapted to them.（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：vii）解析：解析 本段的第一句提到了书大体内容是关于过去 10个世纪气候变化的叙述史，the past ten centuries与标题 vii中的 a thousand years对应。(3).The increased productivity from farmland made some countries self-sufficient in grain and livestock and offered effective protection against famine.（分数：1.0
36、0）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：ix）解析：解析 段落 E中多次提及 food，讲的就是粮食问题。最后一句话说这些国家可以 self-sufficient in grain and livestock，后面又出现了 against famine，都是在说粮食问题得到了解决，粮食产量有保证，所以 enough food at last是正确答案。(4).Millions of hectares of forest and woodland fell before the newcomers axes between 1850 and 1890, as intensive European far
37、ming methods expanded across the world. The unprecedented land clearance released vast quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, triggering for the first time humanly cause global warming.（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：iv）解析：解析 这一段主要讲的是 Modem Warm Period人类是如何影响气候的，包括上述原文提到的由于砍伐树木造成的全球气候变暖，后面也提到了由于石油
38、的使用和温室效应等问题对环境造成的影响。原文中的 humanly cause global warming特别反映了是人为造成的气候变化，标题 iv中 human impact on the climate符合本段意思。七、Questions 18-22(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Documentation of past weather conditions is limited: our main sources of knowledge of conditions in the distant past are (18) and (19) We can deduce that the
39、Little Ice Age was a time of (20) rather than of consistent freezing. Within it there were some periods of very cold winters, others of (21) and heavy rain, and yet others that saw (22) with no rain at all.A climatic shiftsB ice coresC tree ringsD glaciersE interactionsF weather observationsG heat w
40、avesH stormsI written accounts（分数：5.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：C）解析：填空项 1:_ （正确答案：B）解析：解析 题目中提到有关历史天气情况的文献记载很有限，要求填写两种人们了解过去气候的 main sources，原文中提到 we have only proxy records reconstructed largely from tree rings and ice cores，与题目意思相符，而正好答案列表中也有 tree rings和 ice cores两个答案。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：A）解析：解析 通过题目中 rather than
41、 of consistent freezing定位到原文的 far from a deep freeze，题目和原文都是说小冰河时代不是一个冰封状态，而是 an irregular seesaw of rapid climatic shifts，原文中这个 climatic shifts就是题目的答案，同时也出现在了答案列表中。填空项 1:_ （正确答案：H）解析：填空项 1:_ （正确答案：G）解析：解析 题目和原文接下来的一句都是对 climatic shifts这个现象的具体描述。首先是原文中的intensely cold winters，题目中相应提到 very cold winter
42、s；然后转变成了 heavy spring and early summer rains, mild winters和 frequent Atlantic storms，题目中相应提到了and heavy rain，显然这个空的答案是 mild winters或 storms中的一个，在答案列表中只有 storms，因此选择其作为第21题答案；进而又转变成了 periods of droughts, light northeasterly winds和 summer heat waves，题目中对应了with no rain at all, no rain at all 就是 droughts
43、(干旱)，那么空白处显然是 northeasterly winds和 heat waves中的一个，在答案列表中只有 heat waves，因此选择其作为第22题答案。八、Passage 3(总题数：0，分数：0.00)九、Questions 23-26 略(总题数：0，分数：0.00)十、Questions 27-32(总题数：1，分数：6.00)i The difficulties of talking about smellsii The role of smell in personal relationshipsiii Future studies into smelliv The
44、relationship between the brain and the nosev The interpretation of smells as a factor in defining groupsvi Why our sense of smell is not appreciatedvii Smell is our superior senseviii The relationship between smell and feelings（分数：6.00）(1).It became apparent that smell can evoke strong emotional res
45、ponses. A scent associated with a good experience can bring a rush of joy, while a foul odour or one associated with a bad memory may make us grimace with disgust.（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：viii）解析：解析 原文中描述的是嗅觉给人们带来的感觉，选项 viii说的是嗅觉与感觉之间的关系，符合 A段的内容。(2).Odours are also essential cues in social bonding. O
46、ne respondent to the survey believed that there is no true emotional bonding without touching and smelling a loved one.（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：ii）解析：解析 B 段前两句摆出了 B段的主题，讲的是气味在社交活动中的作用，段落接下来的内容都是在围绕这一论述举例。B 段对应的标题肯定离不开社交，标题 ii提到了 personal relationships，应选为本段标题。(3).In spite of its importance to our emotional and sensory lives, smell is probably the most undervalued sense in many cultures. The reason often given for the low regard in which smell is held is that,
