剑桥雅思19Test3Passage1阅读答案解析
第1题答案：FALSE
对应原文：第1段：In early April 2019, Dr Ceri Shipton and his colleagues from Australian National University became the first archaeologists to explore Obi
答案解析：文章开头明确提到，澳大利亚国立大学的塞里·希普顿博士和他的团队成为首批踏上印尼北马鲁古省奥比岛的考古学家。题干中had taken place的说法与the first archaeologists冲突，因此判断答案为FALSE。
第2题答案：FALSE
对应原文：第3段：The earliest axes at Kelo were made using clam shells. Axes made from clam shells from roughly the same time had also previously been found elsewhere in this region
答案解析：根据Kelo和clam shell定位到第3段中部。原文提到，类似年代的贝壳斧头，此前也在这一地区的其他地方出土。题干中first clam shell axes to be discovered in the region与previously been found elsewhere in this region冲突，因此判断答案为FALSE。
第3题答案：TRUE
对应原文：第4段：Sea levels were about 120 metres lower, meaning Obi was a much larger island
答案解析：根据18,000 years ago定位到第4段。原文提到，由于海平面比现在低了约120米，奥比岛当时的面积也更大。反过来说，也就是奥比岛现在的面积更小，因此判断答案为TRUE。
第4题答案：NOT GIVEN
对应原文：第5段：Roughly 11,700 years ago, as the most recent ice age ended, the climate became significantly warmer and wetter, no doubt making Obi’s jungle much thicker.
答案解析：根据11,700 years ago定位到第5段的开头。原文确实提到气候变化对奥比岛的影响，比如森林变的更加茂密。但没有将奥比岛与其他岛屿进行比较（greater impact on Obi than on the surrounding islands），因此判断答案为NOT GIVEN。
第5题答案：TRUE
对应原文：第5段：According to the researchers, it is no coincidence that around this time the first axes crafted from stone rather than sea shells appear, likely in response to their heavy-duty use for clearing and modification of the increasingly dense rainforest.
答案解析：原文提到，研究人员认为，正是在这个时期，第一批用石头而非贝壳制成的斧头开始出现，这并非巧合。人们很可能是为了应对更艰难的伐木和林地改造工作，才转而使用更坚硬的材料。题干中the researchers believe对应according to the researchers，a connection对应no coincidence和in response，warmer, wetter weather照应前文，而a change in the material used to make axes则对应the first axes crafted from stone rather than sea shells appear，即所有信息点在原文中都能找到依据，因此判断答案为TRUE。
第6题答案：NOT GIVEN
对应原文：第6段：Judging by the bones which the researchers unearthed in the Kelo caves, people living there mainly hunted the Rothschild’s cuscus, a possum-like creature that still lives on Obi today.
答案解析：根据hunting practice定位到底6段的这句话。原文确实提到，从凯洛洞穴中出土的骨骼来看，当时生活在这里的人主要猎捕一种名为罗斯柴尔德袋貂的动物。但希普顿博士团队是否对此感到惊讶却找不到依据（Shipton’s team were surprised），因此判断答案为NOT GIVEN。
第7题答案：FALSE
对应原文：第8段：The excavations suggest people successfully lived in the two Kelo shelters for about 10,000 years. But then, about 8,000 years ago, both were abandoned.
第9段：Whatever the reason for the departure, there is no evidence for use of the Kelo shelters after this time, until about 1,000 years ago
答案解析：原文第8段提到，大约8000年前，凯洛地区的两处岩棚都被废弃了。而第9段开头又指出，直到大约1000年前，这里才再次有了人类使用的痕迹。题干中were occupied continuously（持续使用）的说法与此冲突，因此判断答案为FALSE。
第8题答案：caves
对应原文：第3段：Just inland from the village of Kelo on Obi’s northern coast, Shipton and his colleagues found two caves containing prehistoric rock shelters that were suitable for excavation
答案解析：原文第一次提到Kelo是在第三段，再加上rock shelters确定答案应该就在这一句话里。空前词inside对应containing，由此确定答案为caves。
第9题答案：stone
对应原文：第5段：Roughly 11,700 years ago … around this time the first axes crafted from stone rather than sea shells appear
答案解析：根据11,700 years ago定位这句话，从题干made out of可以推测出空上应该填某种材料，由此锁定stone。
第10题答案：bones
对应原文：第6段：Judging by the bones which the researchers unearthed in the Kelo caves, people living there mainly hunted the Rothschild’s cuscus
答案解析：根据cuscus与animal的对应定位到第6段的这句话，从题干可以推测出空上应该填动物的某种东西，因此锁定答案为bones。
第11题答案：beads
对应原文：第7段：It also revealed particular types of beads, similar to those previously found on islands in southern Wallacea.
答案解析：根据上一行obsidian定位到第7段，再根据resemble与similar的对应定位到这句话，由修饰关系锁定beads为正确答案。
第12题答案：pottery
对应原文：第9段：they were re-occupied by people who owned pottery as well as items made out of gold and silver.
答案解析：根据metal与gold and silver的对应定位到这句话，再由as well as所揭示的并列关系锁定pottery。
第13题答案：spices
对应原文：第9段：this final phase of occupation also saw the Kelo shelters used by people involved in the historic trade in spices between the Maluku islands and the rest of the world.
答案解析：顺着上一题往下，根据took part in与involved的对应定位到这句话，空前词sale与trade同义替换，由此确定答案为spices。
