剑桥雅思19Test3Passage2阅读答案解析
第14题答案:G
对应原文:段落G:The idea is that people in a developing country will only protect wetlands if they value and profit from them
答案解析:跟当地人有关的内容主要集中在G段。其后半部分提到,“只有当人们从湿地中获得价值和收益时,他们才会愿意保护它”。其中value and profit对应题干中benefit,由此确定其为正确答案。
第15题答案:A
对应原文:段落A:according to the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWFN), half of the world’s wetlands have disappeared since 1990
答案解析:这种有关事态严重程度的内容一般都会出现在文章开头作为引入,因此我们从A段开始寻找。果然发现half可以对应题干中的proportion,而disappeared则对应lost,由此确定其为正确答案。
第16题答案:H
对应原文:段落H:Awareness of the importance of wetlands is growing
答案解析:这种有关未来展望或者良好进展的内容一般都出现在文章末尾,因此我们从后往前找。发现H段的倒数第二句提到,“人们对湿地重要性的认知正在增强”。其中awareness对应题干中的appreciate,importance对应value,而growing则对应are beginning to,由此确定H为正确答案。
第17题答案:B
对应原文:段落B:Consequently, they are of considerable religious, historical and archaeological value to many communities around the world.
答案解析:这道题没有办法从文章结构推测相应内容出现的大体位置,只能一段段的找下去,难度稍大。幸好答案就在B段前半部分,不用找太久。原文提到,“湿地对许多社群来说具有重要的宗教、历史和考古价值”。其中considerable religious, historical and archaeological value对应题干中的cultural significance,由此确定B为正确答案。
第18题答案:carbon
对应原文:段落D:When peatlands are drained for cultivation, this article is from laokaoya website. they become net carbon emitters instead of active carbon stores.
答案解析:与peatlands相关的内容主要集中在D段和E段,根据drained定位到这句话。空前词release与emitters同义替换,由此锁定carbon为正确答案。
第19题答案:fires
对应原文:段落D:The clearance of peatlands for planting also increases the risk of forest fires
答案解析:顺着上一题往下,根据cleared定位到这句话。题干中more likely对应increases the risk,因为空上只让填一个单词,因此抛弃forest,锁定fires。
第20题答案:biodiversity
对应原文:段落D:We’re seeing huge peatland forests with extremely high biodiversity value being lost for a few decades of oil palm revenues
答案解析:顺着上一题往下,根据oil palm定位到这句话。原文中being lost与题干上destroy同义替换,锁定biodiversity value。因为字数限制,我们只能在两个词中选一个,biodiversity的含义更为具体,填上去语义也更为通顺,因此排除value,确定它为正确答案。
第21题答案:ditches
对应原文:段落E:They dig ditches to enter the peat swamps by boat and then float the logs out the same way. These are then used to drain water out of the peatlands
答案解析:这道题主要考察指代,根据drained定位到F段的前半部分,再由被动锁定these。这时候的备选答案有ditches,swamps,logs。它们三个填上去之后能跟空后which are created by logging companies语义适配的只有ditches(沟渠),因此确定其为正确答案。
第22题答案:subsidence
对应原文:段落E:the remainder of the solid matter in the peat starts to move downwards, in a process known as subsidence … one of the most alarming consequences of peatland clearances … peat subsides at about four centimetres a year … very large landscapes on Sumatra and Borneo will become flooded as the peat drops below water level … Some provinces will lose 40 per cent of their landmass
答案解析:根据flooding和land loss定位到E段最后,因为题干中问的是原因,所以我们要往前找。首先锁定peat subsides,但这里是动词,没有办法跟空前的lead to搭配,因此继续往前,最终确定其名词形式subsidence为正确答案。
第23题答案:A
对应原文:段落G:… says McCartney. ‘For sustainability, it’s essential that local people are involved in wetland planning and decision making and have clear rights to use wetlands.’
答案解析:G段最后提到,“为了实现可持续发展,必须让当地居民参与湿地的规划与决策,并明确他们对湿地的使用权。”其中local people对应题干中的communities living in wetland region,involved对应included,planning and decision对应discussions,由此确定A为正确答案。
第24题答案:C
对应原文:段落H:Silvius suggests … ‘Different governments have different attitudes,’
答案解析:H段前半部分提到,“各国政府的态度不一”,其中different governments对应one nation to the next,vary对应different,governments对应official,由此确定C为正确答案。这道题难度不大,大家在做题的时候文章来自老烤鸭雅思不要看错行直接找到下面的McCartney就好。
第25题答案:D
对应原文:段落F:Tickner … It isn’t something that people generally set out to do
答案解析:F段最后提到,“从没遇到过哪个人是存心想毁掉湿地的”,其中set out对应题干中的intention,前文的各种现象则对应harm,由此确定D为正确答案。
第26题答案:B
对应原文:段落C:Pieter van Eijk … ‘It can be as simple as planting a few trees per hectare to create shade and substantially change a microclimate,’ he says. ‘Implementing climate change projects isn’t so much about money.’
答案解析:C段快到结尾时提到,“有时候只需要在每公顷土地上种几棵树,就能创造阴凉,显著改变一个小气候环境”。其中as simple as对应题干中not be complex,climate change projects对应initiatives to reverse environmental damage,由此确定B为正确答案。
