剑桥雅思19 Test1 Passage1阅读答案解析
第1题答案：FALSE
对应原文：第1段：Yet five years previously, he had been regarded as a talented outsider who entered but never won the major tournaments.
答案解析：根据2016年定位到第1段，再根据five years定位到这一段的最后一句话。原文表示，他只是一个被认为有潜力却始终无缘大满贯冠军的“陪跑者”。一些同学可能会受题干中people had expected的干扰，觉得原文中没有提到人们的期待，因此答案应该是NOT GIVEN。但后面the world’s top tennis player与never won the major tournaments直接冲突，因此答案应该是FALSE才对。
第2题答案：FALSE
对应原文：第2段：Another change was so subtle as to pass more or less unnoticed … While he continued to use natural string in the crosses, in 2012 he switched to a synthetic string for the mains
答案解析：有关穆雷拍子调整的描述主要出现在第2段。原文在提到他请了新的教练之后，紧接着就说到“另一个改变则非常细微，几乎未被人注意”。题干中attracted a lot of attention与more or less unnoticed相冲突，因此判断答案为FALSE。
第3题答案：NOT GIVEN
对应原文：第3段：‘Touring professionals have their rackets customised to their specific needs,’ says Colin Triplow, a UK-based professional racket stringer.‘
答案解析：根据professional racket stringer定位到第三段的这句话。原文中“touring professionals”指的是巡回赛选手（大家理解成四处奔波打比赛的选手也行），而非拉线师。至于拉线师到底是待在一个地方不动（UK-based指的是驻扎在英国，而不是静止不动），还是跟着选手到处跑则完全没有提及，因此判断答案为NOT GIVEN。
第4题答案：FALSE
对应原文：第3段：Take the US professional tennis players Mike and Bob Bryan, for example … The rackets they use now weigh more than the average model and also have a denser string pattern
答案解析：根据两位职业选手的名字定位到第3段的后半部分。原文表示他们使用的球拍要比普通版本更重一些。题干中light一词与weigh more than the average model相冲突，因此判断答案为FALSE。
第5题答案：NOT GIVEN
对应原文：第5段：the amateur German tennis player Werner Fischer started playing with the so-called spaghetti-strung racket
答案解析：原文确实提到维尔纳·费舍尔使用了一种新球拍。但该球拍到底是不是他设计的（he designed himself）则找不到任何依据，因此判断答案为NOT GIVEN。
第6题答案：TRUE
对应原文：第6段：They will continually change it depending on various factors including the court surface, climatic conditions, and game styles.
答案解析：这道题的考察点主要在指代上。顺着上一题往下，根据weather与climatic conditions的对应文章来自老烤鸭雅思定位到这句话。题干中professional players对应they，adjust对应change，strings on their rackets对应it，即题干所有信息点在原文中都能找到依据，因此判断答案为TRUE。
第7题答案：TRUE
对应原文：第9段： much of the serving power of US professional player Pete Sampras was attributed to the addition of four to five lead weights onto his rackets
答案解析：根据Pete Sampras定位到第9段的这句话。题干中change对应the addition of four to five lead weights，rackets是原词，strong serve对应serving power，而contributed to则对应was attributed to，即所有主要信息点都能在原文中找到依据，因此判断答案为TRUE。
第8题答案：paint
对应原文：第3段：Mike and Bob Bryan … explain how they have adjusted not only racket length, this article is from laokaoya website, but even experimented with different kinds of paint
答案解析：根据人名定位到第3段，题干中types of与原文中kinds of同义替换，由修饰关系锁定paint.
第9题答案：topspin
对应原文：第5段：… spaghetti-strung racket. It created a string bed that generated so much topspin that it was quickly banned by the International Tennis Federation
答案解析：根据spaghetti-strung racket定位到第5段，题干中created与generated对应，the amount of与so much对应，由修饰关系确定答案为topspin.
第10题答案：training
对应原文：第5段：Today it is, in many ways, an aspect of the game that is equal in significance to nutrition or training.
答案解析：顺着上一题往下，根据as important as与equal的对应定位到这句话。题干中的diets与nutrition同义替换，根据并列关系确定答案为training.
第11题答案：intestines/gut
对应原文：第7段：At one time, all tennis rackets were strung with natural gut made from the outer layer of sheep or cow intestines
答案解析：根据at one time与used to的对应，以及natural一词定位到第7段的开头。题干问的是用什么材料制成，因此gut与intestines都对。但我个人觉得因为有made from所构成的修饰关系，所以还是intestines更好一些。
第12题答案：weights
对应原文：第9段：… Pete Sampras was attributed to the addition of four to five lead weights onto his rackets
答案解析：根据Pete Sampras定位到第9段的这句话。如果大家知道lead是铅的意思，那么很容易就可以根据lead与meatal的对应确定答案为weights。如果不认识这个单词的话，也可以根据put into the frames与onto his rackets反推答案为weights。
第13题答案：grips
对应原文：第10段：The professional Portuguese player Gonçalo Oliveira replaced the original grips of his rackets with something thinner
答案解析：这道题比较简单一些。根据人名直接定位到第10段的这句话，change与replace同义替换，锁定original grips。因为题目要求只填一个词，由此确定grips为答案。
