剑桥雅思14 Test2 Section4听力答案解析

第31题答案：dances

对应原文：Many ancient civilisations developed rites such as dances in order to make the weather gods look kindly on them.

答案解析：这道题没有十分明显的提示词，部分同学可能能根据invented和developed的同义替换锁定答案所在位置，但大多数同学应该还是得听到weather gods之后才能根据回忆去确定答案。另外，这道题之所以不选择rites，是因为它跟空后的ceremonies重复了。如果题干上没有ceremonies的话，dances就要让位给它。

第32题答案：survival

对应原文：observing the skies and drawing the correct conclusions from these observations was really important, in fact their survival depended on it

答案解析：这道题比较简单一些，听到observing和observation意识到答案即将到来，哪怕因为紧张没有反应过来depended on与ensure的同义替换，也可以根据词性筛选出survival来。

第33题答案：clouds

对应原文：the Babylonians produced the first short-range weather forecasts, based on their observations of clouds and other phenomena.

答案解析：Babylonians原词出现，提示大家答案即将到来。该句子中只有clouds一个具体事物，与空前such as语义相符，由此确定其为正确答案。

第34题答案：festivals

对应原文：The Chinese also recognised weather patterns, and by 300 BC, astronomers had developed a calendar which divided the year into 24 festivals, each associated with a different weather phenomenon.

答案解析：calendar提示大家答案即将到来，空前词a number of与24同义替换，根据修饰关系确定festivals为正确答案。

第35题答案：comets

对应原文：He also described celestial phenomena such as haloes – that is, bright circles of light around the sun, the moon and bright stars – and comets

答案解析：这道题属于稍微复杂的并列的考法。说完haloes之后先插入一句解释说明的话语，然后再跟并列连接词和答案。注意语调的起伏和连接词就好。

第36题答案：sky

对应原文：Ages weather observations were passed on in the form of proverbs, such as ‘Red sky at night, shepherd’s delight; red sky in the morning

答案解析：这道题主要考察所有格的变换。听到proverbs意识到答案即将到来，red对应colour，根据修饰关系确定sky为正确答案。

第37题答案：instruments

对应原文： but in the fifteenth century scientists began to see the need for instruments

答案解析：听到fifteenth century意识到答案即将到来，空前词value与need同义替换，由此锁定instruments。

第38题答案：thermometer

对应原文：In 1592, the Italian scientist and inventor Galileo developed the world’s first thermometer

答案解析：伽利略这一人名提示大家答案即将到来，develop与invent同义替换，根据修饰关系锁定thermometer。

第39题答案：storms

对应原文： It was Franklin who discovered that storms generally travel from west to east.

答案解析：还是一样的套路，由Franklin提示大家录音来到第39题，由identified和discovered的同义替换锁定storms为正确答案。

第40题答案：telegraph

对应原文：in the mid-nineteenth century, the invention of the telegraph made it possible for these records to be collated.

答案解析：从空前词by可以看出空上填的应该是某种具体的方式，原文中只有telegraph符合要求，由此确定为答案，注意单词拼写就好。
