雅思阅读真题解析-剑16Test2Passage1-The White Horse of Uffington-判断题

　　判断题

　　Q1

　　Most geoglyphs in England are located in a particular area of the 2country.

　　分析

　　题干中可以划定位词的有geoglyphs, England。这道题考察是非考点，也就是most geoglyphs到底是不是are located in a particular area。这里的particular area【特定的区域】在原文中可能会对应具体的地名。

　　定位

　　1The cutting of huge figures or ‘geoglyphs’ into the earth of English hillsides has taken place for more than 3,000 years. There are 56 hill figures scattered around England, with the vast majority on the chalk downlands of the country’s southern counties. The figures include giants, horses, crosses and regimental badges. Although the majority of these geoglyphs date within the last 300 years or so, there are one or two that are much older.

　　答案

　　题干中的geoglyphs出现在第 一句，England 在第二句。第二句中的with the vast majority on the chalk downlands of the country’s southern counties 【大多数在在国家的南部县城的白垩低地】对应题干中的are located in a particular area，所以答案是TRUE。

　　Q2

　　There are more geoglyphs in the shape of a horse than any other creature.

　　分析

　　题干中可以划定位词的有shape, horse 和other creature （这个词可能会对应具体的动物）。这道题考察点是比较，也就是shape of horse的数量>shape of other creatures。注意，这里进行比较的是shape的数量。

　　定位

　　1... The figures include giants, horses, crosses and regimental badges. Although the majority of these geoglyphs date within the last 300 years or so, there are one or two that are much older.

　　答案

　　上方第 一句中的figures【图形】对应题干中的shape, 题干中的horse原词重现，这句中的giants【奥尼尔】可以对应any other creature,而crosses【十字架】和badges【徽章】跟这道题没关系。第二句中说的majority of the geoglyphes可以对应题干中的比较结构more...than...，但后边说的是date within the last 300 years or so。这里我们可以看出原文中进行比较的是关于new 的图形和old图形数量之间的比较。而题干中说的是Horse的图形和别的动物数量之间的比较。时间和动物没有必然的联系，所以答案是NOT GIVEN。

　　Q3

　　A recent dating of the Uffington White Horse indicates that people were mistaken about its age.

　　分析

　　题干中可以划定位词的有recent dating, people和age。这道题考察是非考点，即recent dating 有没有暗示people were mistaken或people到底有没有mistaken。

　　定位

　　2The most famous of these figures is perhaps also the most mysterious - the Uffington White Horse in Oxfordshire. The White Horse has recently been re-dated and shown to be even older than its previously assigned ancient pre-Roman Iron Age* date...

　　答案

　　上方第二句中的The White Horse 对应题干中的Uffington White Horse， 第二句中的recently been re-dated 对应题干中的recent dating， 原文中的been shown 【被显示】对应题干中的indicates 【暗示】, even older than its previously assigned ...age【早期被归类为...的年龄】对应题干中的people were mistaken about its age。之前人们推测的年龄比真实的年龄要小（年轻），所以人们之前的推测是错的，所以题干与原文内容一致，答案是TRUE。这里避免思维陷阱，不能人们之前犯错了就把题目判成FALSE哟。

　　Q4

　　Historians have come to an agreement about the origins of the Long Man of Wilmington.

　　分析

　　题干中可以划定位词的有historians, Long Man of Wilmington。这道题考察的是是非考点，即hostorians到底有没有have come to an agreement。Spoiler alert!【剧透一下】各种学家极少，极少有达成一致的。

　　定位

　　2...More controversial is the date of the enigmatic Long Man of Wilmington in Sussex. While many historians are convinced the figure is prehistoric, others believe that it was the work of an artistic monk from a nearby priory and was created between the 11th and 15th centuries.

　　答案

　　上方第 一句中出现了Long Man of Wilmington，第二句中的while 【虽然】many historians就已经知道了，后半句肯定前半句是相反的。即，many historians认为Long Man of Wilmington是prehistoric【史前的】，others认为它是work of an artistic monk。所以historians 还没有达成意见的一致。答案是FALSE。

　　Q5

　　Geoglyphs were created by people placing white chalk on the hillside.

　　分析

　　题干中可以划为定位词的有white chalk 和hillside。这道题考察是非考点，即geoglyphs到底是不是用white chalk on the hillside而做成的。

　　定位

　　3The method of cutting these huge figures was simply to remove the overlying grass to reveal the gleaming white chalk below. However, the grass would soon grow over the geoglyph again unless it was regularly cleaned or scoured by a fairly large team of people...

　　答案

　　原文第 一句中的these huge figures对应题干中的geoglyphs， 原文中的method 对应题干中的by【通过】，原文中的方法是to remove the overlying grass【移除上方的杂草】，题干中的方法是placing white chalk on the hillside。也就是说，题目把原文中的方法改了，所以看到这里就知道答案是FALSE。

　　到这里有人可能想说了，后边不是有to reveal the gleaming white chalk吗？是的，这是移除杂草后的结果。说白了就是，题目把原文中的结果改成了方法，这显然是错的。所以做判断题的时候不要看到名词的对应你就选TRUE，一定要看一下名词之间的逻辑关系。

　　Q6

　　Many geoglyphs in England are no longer visible.

　　分析

　　这道题不好定位。我们只能顺着找geoglyphs和visible或看相关的词。这道题考察是非考点，也就是England的many geoglyphs现在到底能不能看到？

　　定位

　　...One reason that the vast majority of hill figures have disappeared is that when the traditions associated with the figures faded, people no longer bothered or remembered to clear away the grass to expose the chalk outline. Furthermore, ...

　　答案

　　上方第 一句中的vast majority对应题干中的many,原文中的hill figures 对应题干中的geoglyphs， 原文中的have disappeared对应题干中的no longer visible。所以原文与题干的内容一致，答案是TRUE。原文第二句不用看，看到furthermore就可以推测，第二句也在讲这些图形消失的另一个原因。既然第 一句就可以确定答案，所以第二句没必要看。

　　Q7

　　The shape of some geoglyphs has been altered over time.

　　分析

　　这道题可以划为定位词的有shape, over time (可能会对应具体的时间段)。这道题考察是非考点，即这些shape到底有没有alter【改变】。

　　定位

　　3...Furthermore, over hundreds of years the outlines would sometimes change due to people not always cutting in exactly the same place, thus creating a different shape to the original geoglyph...

　　答案

　　上方这句中的creating a different shape与题干中的shape...has been altered, 原文中的original geoglyph对应题干中的geoglyphs，原文中的over hundreds of years对应题干中的over time，所以原文与题干的内容一致，答案是TRUE。

　　Q8

　　The fame of the Uffington White Horse is due to its size.

　　分析

　　题干中可以划定位词的有fame和size（原文中可能会对应具体的大小，如多长，多宽或面积多大）。这道考察是非考点，即，它的是不是因为size而获得的fame。

　　定位

　　哪儿呢？往后看完一段没有找到定位后，接下来我们应该看每一段的第 一句最后一句。我们看完后发现没有具体对应的信息，最后虽然提到了Uffington White Horse的重要性，但跟fame也不能划等号，原文中也没有提到关于fame和size的因果。答案是NOT GIVEN.
