所处的地位，但并未提及题目中有关于秃鹰和霸王龙数量上相等的信息，因此正确

答案为NOT GIVEN。

5. 利用题目细节信息“T-rex is top predator”定位于第5段中间部分“If T-rex was a top

predator, especially considering how big it is, you’d expect it to be extremely rare, much

rarer than the little dromaeosaurs, and yet they are everywhere, they are a dime a dozen”。

文中说如果霸王龙是顶级捕食者，数量应该是稀少的，但是它到处都是，所以并不

是顶级捕食者。也就是题目所说的“‘霸王龙是顶级捕食者’的假设与Jack的发现相

冲突”。题目信息与原文内容相符，因此正确答案为TRUE。

6. 利用题目细节信息“theory”定位于第5段末句“He insisted his theory and finding,

dedicated to further research upon it, of course, he would like to reevaluate if there is any

case that additional evidence found or explanation raised by others in the future”。这里讲

到他坚信自己的理论和调查结果，如果未来有其他人发现新的证据或解释，他愿意

重新评估自己的理论。而题目中“refused to accept”与原文信息相矛盾，所以正确答

案为FALSE。

7. 利用题目细节信息“T-rex’s bones”定位于第6段第1句话“He examined the leg

bones of the T-rex”，但是这里只讲到研究了“T-rex’s bones”，并未提及题目中的“是

第一位发现霸王龙骨头的人”。题目信息在原文信息的基础上无法判断，所以正确答

案为NOT GIVEN。

Questions 8-13

解答

8. 利用细节信息“thigh bone”定位于原文第6段第2句话“He found that the thigh bone

was equal in length or slightly longer than the shin bone”。原文中的“thigh bone…longer

than the shin bone”对应题目中的“...is shorter than the thigh bone”，因此正确答案为

shin bone。

9. 利用顺序原则定位于第6段第2句话末尾“which proves that the animal was built to be

a slow walker rather than fast running”。题目中的“demonstrates”与原文中的“proves”

为同义替换。因此，正确答案为slow walker。

10. 利用细节信息“ostrich”定位于第6段末句“the ostrich, cheetah, etc.”显而易见，正

确答案为cheetah。

11. 利用细节信息“built”定位于第6段末句“This same truth can be observed in many

animals of today which are designed to run fast”。题目中的“built”有“身材较好，天

生而成”之意，与原文中的“designed”相对应，都是“天生”之意，因此正确答案

为run fast。

2015年雅思阅读模拟试题及答案解析三

Time to cool it 1 REFRIGERATORS are the epitome of clunky technology： solid， reliable and just a little bit dull. They have not changed much over the past century， but then they have not needed to. They are based on a robust and effective idea--draw heat from the thing you want to cool by evaporating a liquid next to it， and then dump that heat by pumping the vapour elsewhere and condensing it. This method of pumping heat from one place to another served mankind well when refrigerators' main jobs were preserving food and， as air conditioners， cooling buildings. Today's high-tech world， however， demands high-tech refrigeration. Heat pumps are no longer up to the job. The search is on for something to replace them. 2 One set of candidates are known as paraelectric materials. These act like batteries when they undergo a temperature change： attach electrodes to them and they generate a current. This effect is used in infra-red cameras. An array of tiny pieces of paraelectric material can sense the heat radiated by， for example， a person， and the pattern of the array's electrical outputs can then be used to construct an image. But until recently no one had bothered much with the inverse of this process. That inverse exists， however. Apply an appropriate current to a paraelectric material and it will cool down. 3 Someone who is looking at this inverse effect is Alex Mischenko， of Cambridge University. Using commercially available paraelectric film， he and his colleagues have generated temperature drops five times bigger than any previously recorded. That may be enough to change the phenomenon from a laboratory curiosity to something with commercial applications. 4 As to what those applications might be， Dr Mischenko is still a little hazy. He has， nevertheless， set up a company to pursue them. He foresees putting his discovery to use in more efficient domestic fridges and air conditioners. The real money， though， may be in cooling computers. 5 Gadgets containing microprocessors have been getting hotter for a long time. One consequence of Moore's Law， which describes the doubling of the number of transistors on a chip every 18 months， is that the amount of heat produced doubles as well. In fact， it more than doubles， because besides increasing in number，the components are getting faster. Heat is released every time a logical operation is performed inside a microprocessor， so the faster the processor is， the more heat it generates. Doubling the frequency quadruples the heat output. And the frequency has doubled a lot. The first Pentium chips sold by Dr Moore's company，Intel， in 1993， ran at 60m cycles a second. The Pentium 4--the last "single-core" desktop processor--clocked up 3.2 billion cycles a second. 6 Disposing of this heat is a big obstruction to further miniaturisation and higher speeds. The innards of a desktop computer commonly hit 80℃. At 85℃， they

Reading One READING PASSAGE 1 You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1-13, which are based on Reading Passage 1. Bovids The family of mammals called bovids belongs to the Artiodactyl class, which also includes giraffes. Bovids are highly diverse group consisting of 137 species, some of which are man’s most important domestic animals. Bovids are well represented in most parts of Eurasia and Southeast Asian islands, but they are by far the most numerous and diverse in the latter. Some species of bovid are solitary, but others live in large groups with complex social structures. Although bovids have adapted to a wide range of habitats, from arctic tundra to deep tropical forest, the majority of species favour open grassland, scrub or desert. This diversity of habitat is also matched by great diversity in size and form: at one extreme is the royal antelope of West Africa, which stands a mere 25 cm at the shoulder; at the other, the massively built bisons of North America and Europe, growing to a shoulder height of 2.2m. Despite differences in size and appearance, bovids are united by the possession of certain common features. All species are ruminants, which means that they retain undigested food in their stomachs, and regurgitate it as necessary. Bovids are almost exclusively herbivorous. Typically their teeth are highly modified for browsing and grazing: grass or foliage is cropped with the upper lip and lower incisors (the upper incisors are usually absent), and then ground down by the cheek teeth. As well as having cloven, or split, hooves, the males of all bovid species and the females of most carry horns. Bovid horns have bony cores covered in a sheath of horny material that is constantly renewed from within; they are unbranched and never shed. They vary in shape and size: the relatively simple horns of a large Indian buffalo may measure around 4m from tip to tip along the outer curve, while the various gazelles have horns with a variety of elegant curves. Five groups, or sub-families, may be distinguished: Bovinae, Antelope, Caprinae, Cephalophinae and Antilocapridae. The sub-family Bovinae comprises most of the larger bovids, including the African bongo, and nilgae, eland, bison and cattle. Unlike most other bovids they are all non-territorial.

剑桥雅思9阅读解析汇报test4

Passage 1 Question 1 答案： FALSE 关键词： husband, Nobel Prizes. 定位原文: 第1段第2、3句“...and was twice a winner…”……并两度问鼎诺贝尔奖：1903年，她同丈夫Pierre Curie以及Henri Becquerel被授予诺贝尔物理学奖，1911年她又独立获得诺贝尔化学奖。 解题思路: 题干要判断是否Marie Curie的丈夫与她共同获得了两项诺贝尔奖。原文陈述，她丈夫与她合着拿了一次，另外一次是她自己独立完成的。题干中的sole抵触于原文的both; 题干与原文陈述不一致。 Question 2 答案： NOT GIVEN 关键词： science, child 定位原文：第2段第1句“From childhood, Marie…”自幼年起，Marie就以惊人的记忆力而出名。她在16岁完成中等教育时获得了金牌。 解题思路：题干要判断Marie是否在还是个孩子时，就对科学产生了兴趣。原文陈述，Marie小时候记忆力惊人，并在16岁完成中等教育时获得了金牌，但是并没有提及她小时候是否对科学产生了兴趣。 Question 3 答案： TRUE 关键词： Sorbonne 定位原文：第2段最后一句“From her earnings she was…”有了这笔收入，她就能先资助姐姐Bronia 在巴黎学医，而Bronia也承诺，作为回报以后会帮助她继续完成学业。 解题思路：题干要判断Marie能够到巴黎大学学习，是否因为姐姐的经济资助。原文陈述姐姐确实是这么承诺的。但是如果有一些考生会纠结于姐姐虽承诺，但是是否兑现了诺言的话，可以再结合第三段第一句In 1891 this promise was fulfilled and Marie went to Paris and began to study at the Sorbonne. 1891年，Bronia兑现了她的承诺。Marie来到巴黎，开始在巴黎大学学习。由此题干与原文完全一致。 Question 4 答案： FALSE 关键词： when her children were born

READING PASSAGE 1 You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1-13, which are based on Reading Passage 1 below. AUSTRALIA'S SPORTING SUCCESS A They play hard, they play often, and they play to win. Australian sports teams win more than their fair share of titles, demolishing rivals with seeming ease. How do they do it? A big part of the secret is an extensive and expensive network of sporting academies underpinned by science and medicine. At the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), hundreds of youngsters and pros live and train under the eyes of coaches. Another body, the Australian Sports Commission (ASC), finances programmes of excellence in a total of 96 sports for thousands of sportsmen and women. Both provide intensive coaching, training facilities and nutritional advice. B Inside the academies, science takes centre stage. The AIS employs more than 100 sports scientists and doctors, and collaborates with scores of others in universities and research centres. AIS scientists work across a number of sports, applying skills learned in one - such as building muscle strength in golfers - to others, such as swimming and squash. They are backed up by technicians who design instruments to collect data from athletes. They all focus on one aim: winning. ‘We can't waste our time looking at ethereal scientific questions that don't help the coach work with an athlete and improve performance,' says Peter Fricker, chief of science at AIS. C A lot of their work comes down to measurement - everything from the exact angle of a swimmer’s dive to the second-by-second power output of a cyclist. This data is used to wring improvements out of athletes. The focus is on individuals, tweaking performances to squeeze an extra hundredth of a second here, an extra millimetre there. No gain is too slight to bother with. It’s the tiny, gradual improvements that add up to world-beating results. To demonstrate how the system works, Bruce Mason at AIS shows off the prototype of a 3 D analysis tool for studying swimmers. A wire-frame model of a champion swimmer slices through the water, her arms moving in slow motion. Looking side-on, Mason measures the distance between strokes. From above, he analyses how her spine
