剑桥雅思11 Test4 Passage3阅读答案解析

第27题答案:vi

对应原文:A段:Compared to language, all other inventions pale in significance, since everything we have ever achieved depends on language and originates from it.

答案解析:A段中反复提到了语言的重要性,倒数第二句直接提到,与语言相比,所有其他的发明都黯然失色。这是因为我们所取得的一切成就都建立在语言的基础之上,并源自于它。对应vi选项中语言为什么是最重要的发明,由此确定答案。

第28题答案:iv

对应原文:B段:In its own right it is a tool of extraordinary sophistication, yet based on an idea of ingenious simplicity

答案解析:B段主要描述语言的简单性与复杂性。开头第二句提到,就语言自身来看,它是一种极其复杂精致的工具,但它却建立在十分简单的概念之上。即明显不相容的语言的特点,由此确定iv为答案。

第29题答案:ii

对应原文:C段:How else could this instrument make so much out of barely three dozen measly morsels of sound

答案解析:虽然C段的语言充满了比喻,但我们仍然可以从中间找对直接对应的依据:这一工具可以利用仅仅三十多个声音发出如此之多的含义。ii选项的含义与此几乎完全一致,只是替换了一些单词而已,由此确定答案。

第30题答案:vii

对应原文:D段:The most extraordinary thing about language, however, is that one doesn’t have to be a genius to set its wheels in motion. The language machine allows just about everybody …

答案解析:D段开头提到,语言最非比寻常的一点在于,不必非得是天才才能使用它。后面又举了各种人的例子,证明其普适性。由此确定vii为答案。

第31题答案:i

对应原文:E段:it is only the estrangement of foreign tongues, with their many exotic and outlandish features, that brings home the wonder of language’s design.

答案解析:E段提到,只有遇到充满奇异古怪特征的外语时,一个人才会意识到语言设计的非凡之处。即语言之间的不同强调了其令人难忘的特性。i选项中differences对应exotic,highlight对应brings home,impresiveness对应wonder,由此确定答案。

第32题答案:v

对应原文:F段:in fact even the absence of a sound has been enlisted to express something specific.

答案解析:虽然这一段前面介绍了许多苏美尔语跟土耳其语的不同之处,但重点还是后面论述的,即便是声音的缺失也可以表达特定的含义。v选项中silence与absence of a sound对应,meaningful与express对应,由此确定答案。

第33题答案:E

对应原文:A段:Other inventions – the wheel, agriculture, sliced bread – may have transformed our material existence

答案解析:虽然文章中提到了很多次wheel,但表示真正的轮子而非比喻含义的只有A段。had a major impact on与transformed同义替换,由此锁定material existence,确定E为答案。

第34题答案:G

对应原文:A段:Compared to language, all other inventions pale in significance

答案解析:从题干中的句子含义分析,空上要填其他发明与语言的对比,由此锁定significance,G选项fundamental与其同义替换,由此确定答案。

第35题答案:B

对应原文:B段:In its own right it is a tool of extraordinary sophistication, yet based on an idea of ingenious simplicity

答案解析:根据前面做的段落标题匹配,可以得知a small number of sounds这一信息主要在B段出现。从yet可以推测出空上要填的内容应该与后面想法,由此锁定原文中的sophistication,对应B选项complex。

第36题答案:F

对应原文:D段: Yet it is precisely this deceptive ease which makes language a victim of its own success, since in everyday life its triumphs are usually taken for granted

答案解析:题干中的overlooked与D段这句话中的be taken for granted对应,appears与deceptive同义替换,由此锁定ease,确定F选项easy为答案。

第37题答案:NO

对应原文:A段:Without language, we could never have embarked on our ascent to unparalleled power over all other animals, and even over nature itself.

答案解析:A段最后一句明确提到,没有语言的话,我们无法凌驾于其他动物、甚至自然本身之上。即无法取得现在的地位。题干的描述与此相反,由此确定答案为NO。

第38题答案:YES

对应原文:B段:the renowned French grammarians of the Port-Royal abbey near Versailles distilled the essence of language

答案解析:根据Port-Royal定位到B段的这句话,原文中提到它揭示了语言的本质。题干中did justice与distill对应,nature与essence对应,其他基本都是原词,由此判断答案为YES。

第39题答案:NOT GIVEN

对应原文:E段:and thus express in one word what English takes a whole sentence to say.

答案解析:E段中只是提到一个词可以表达英语中一个句子的含义,至于这两者究竟哪种表达的更为清晰则完全没有说明,由此确定答案为NOT GIVEN。

第40题答案:YES

对应原文:F段: Sumerian, the language spoken on the banks of the Euphrates some 5,000 years ago by the people who invented writing and thus enabled the documentation of history

答案解析:F段中提到,苏美尔人发明了书写,由此是的记录历史成为可能。题干只是将此换了一个说法,由此判断答案为YES。
