剑桥雅思11 Test3 Passage3阅读答案解析第27题答案:D
对应原文:D部分:Other scientists have written books to explain their fields to non-scientists, but have necessarily had to omit the mathematics
答案解析:原文中除了作者自己所写的书籍之外,只有B段和D段提到了其他书。而B段所举例子仍然是数学书籍,不符合题干。D段中的omit可以与a lack of同义替换,其他基本是原词出现,由此确定答案。
第28题答案:B
对应原文:B部分第二段:In that respect, this book differs from most books on mathematics
答案解析:B段中提到,从该方面来看,这本书与大多数关于数学的书籍不同。题干中not a typical替换differs from most books,由此确定答案。
第29题答案:G
对应原文:G部分前两段
答案解析:G部分举了律师和医生的切实体验,证明数学是如何帮助他们在自身的领域取得成功的。即受到数学帮助的个体例子。由此锁定答案。
第30题答案:C
对应原文:C部分:I cite a structural engineer who is an artist, an electrical engineer who is an opera singer, an opera singer who published mathematical research, and a mathematician who publishes short stories.
答案解析:C部分最后举了一系列个体的例子,他们在完全不相关的两个领域都取得了成功。即拥有看似互不相容的能力的案例。由此锁定答案。
第31题答案:B
对应原文:B部分:Some present the lives of colorful mathematicians. Others describe important applications of mathematics. Yet others go into mathematical procedures, but assume that the reader is adept in using algebra.
答案解析:B部分最后举了其他数学书的例子。一些关注数学家的多彩人生,一些描述数学的重要应用,还有一些注重数学步骤。即数学相关书籍的不同关注点。由此确定答案。
第32题答案:E
对应原文:E部分:You will turn these pages much more slowly than when reading a novel or a newspaper
答案解析:E部分提到,读这本书时,你的翻页速度要比读小说或者报纸慢很多。即阅读此书和其他类型出版物的对比,由此确定答案。
第33题答案:A
对应原文:A部分第2段:Thus all readers will have the chance to participate in a mathematical experience
答案解析:A部分第1段的最后和第2段的开头都描述了阅读此书文章来自老烤鸭雅思不需要什么专业知识。第2段中间又特别强调,所有读者都有机会参与到数学体验中。这点与题干中is accessible to everybody对应,由此确定答案。
第34题答案:F
对应原文:F部分第1段:As I wrote, I kept in mind two types of readers
答案解析:F部分一开头就说明了本书的两类目标读者,对应题干上的intended readers,由此确定答案。
第35题答案:beginner
对应原文:A部分第1段:Occasionally, in some difficult musical compositions, there are beautiful, but easy parts – parts so simple a beginner could play them. So it is with mathematics as well.
答案解析:根据题干中music与mathematics的对比关系定位到A部分的第一段。题干中的someone和who都提示空上应该填某种人,由此锁定beginner。
第36题答案:arithmetic
对应原文:A部分第1段:There are some discoveries in advanced mathematics that do not depend on specialized knowledge, not even on algebra, geometry, or trigonometry. Instead they may involve, at most, a little arithmetic
答案解析:根据advanced mathematics定位到这两句话。题干中问的是理解高等数学只需要有限的什么知识。而algebra, geometry和trigonometry都是不需要的。a little又与a limited of同义替换,由此确定arithmetic为答案。
第37题答案:intuitive
对应原文:A部分第2段:to appreciate the beauty of mathematics, and to become familiar with its logical, yet intuitive, style of thinking.
C部分:the humanities and the sciences, or should I say the right brain (intuitive) and the left brain (analytical, numerical)
答案解析:这道题可以从两个地方寻找答案。一是顺着上一道题往下,根据logical与analytical的对应,以及thinking这一原词定位到A部分第2段的最后一句话,确定intuitive为答案。二是根据analytical定位到C部分,再利用并列关系确定intuitive为答案。
第38题答案:scientists
对应原文:D部分:Other scientists have written books to explain their fields to non-scientists, but have necessarily had to omit the mathematics
答案解析:根据27题的经验,我们直接将搜索范围缩小到B部分和D部分。题干中leave out与omit同义替换,由此定位到D部分的第1句。根据written by推测,空上应该填某种人,由此锁定scientists。
第39题答案:experiments
对应原文:E部分:It may help to have a pencil and paper ready to check claims and carry out experiments.
答案解析:这道题没有明显的定位词,只能根据while reading the book与turn these pages的同义替换定位到E部分的这句话。perform对应carry out,由此确定答案为experiments。
第40题答案:theorems
对应原文:G部分第2段:I attribute much of my success there to having learned, through the study of mathematics, and, in particular, theorems, how to analyze complicated principles.
答案解析:根据lawyer定位到G部分的第2段,从题干可以推测空上应该填某个具体的数学领域,而这句话中只有theorems符合这一要求,由此锁定答案。
