文章标题 Ambergris 龙涎香 文章大意 关于ambergris龙涎香和amber琥珀
第二段说 以前人们一直把ambergris和amber当作一种东西。但是有个叫Dick的作者 写了一本书 讲了这两个东西的区别（有题，matching）说ambergris 通常发现在海面或者shore，但是仍然不知道是从哪里来的。
Amber是一种什么东西，与松树pine有关， 然后说了amber的一些特性 hard，transparent， 等等，用来做装饰品， 头饰什么的， 同样 very costly。（有题，matching）
第三段说ambergris是与sperm whale的intestine肠子里的消化digest 某种东西有关。以为intestine会有题，结果没有，提到了马可波罗，好像与这个发现有关（没题，当笑话好了）
第四段就是具体describe ambergris的产生过程了。（summary 题）大意是，sperm whale吃一种东西 叫 beaks of squalid， 肠子就有助消化，但是不能完全消化，就转化成了另一种东西，应该是体内的垃圾。这种垃圾是soft的，会被sperm whale 呕吐出来 be vomited up。
然后这种东西遇到空气就会变硬 harden， 于是就形成了 ambergris了，也解释了为什么ambergris总在海面和shore被发现。
第五段 说人们为了获得ambergris而捕杀sperm whale 导致了濒临灭绝。给了一个数据 说in 20th century， 90% ambergris was made in the processing of killing sperm whale。（有题， TFNG）ambergris was still the most expensive product in the whole body of sperm whale，大意是这样的。
于是人们就开始采取措施保护sperm whale， 在工业生产中采用了很多ambergris的替代品，例如香水制造业中就用了某种东西，代替了ambergris。
第六段 说 sperm whale的数量会有recover的那么一天，没题。

雅思阅读题答案 第2篇
但凡接触过雅思真题或曾经亲历雅思考场的考生大多对TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN (另一种写法为YES/NO/NOT GIVEN)的题型颇有印象，原因有二：
一是此题型在考场上出现频率极高，仅以20XX年为例，全年48场雅思考试场场都有此题型的身影;
二是此题型虽然备选项只有三个，答题命中率在理论上比四选一的单选题还高，却颇不容易全盘做对。
下面笔者将带领读者一起来仔细认识与分析雅思阅读判定题的概念、套路、难点和解决之道。
雅思判断题的定义
理解判断题的第一步是理解TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN的定义，逐一分析如下：
TRUE (YES)的定义为the statement agrees with the information/the views (claims) of the writer，即“此说法与原文信息/作者的观点或主张相符”。这里的重点信息在于agree with的概念，此选项并非要求题干与原文的内容一模一样，而只要符合原文信息即可。
举个例子说明，原文句子说“这个女生长得很漂亮”，那么题干说“这个女生长得很好看”或“这小姑娘长相真是还可以”都是与原文信息相符，此时考生要选TRUE (YES)。
FALSE (NO)的定义为the statement contradicts the information，即“如果此说法与原文信息相矛盾和抵触”。这里的重点信息在于contradict一词：contra是“相反”“相违背”的意思，dict则是“陈述”“说明”的意思。也就是说，应选FALSE的题干与原文信息是相矛盾、相违背、相抵触的，原文中给出的已知信息可以直接或经过合理推理否定掉题干的内容。
比如，原文说“这个女生长得很漂亮”，那题干说“这姑娘长得真丑”就是错误的，或者题干说“这位小娘子貌似无颜”，也是错误的。
NOT GIVEN的定义为there is no information on this/it is impossible to say what the writer thinks about this，即“此说法在原文中找不到”或“没法知道作者对此是怎么看的”。许多考生都将此视为最麻烦的一个选项，因为如果不能把整篇文章都看完并且看懂，每个NOT GIVEN的选项都是在惴惴不安的心情中写下的。
NOT GIVEN的情况其实可以分为以下两种：
① 原文中完全没有提及题干所说的相关内容，不过这种完全无中生有的题目比较罕见;
② 原文中提到的相关信息与题干内容不属于同一个范围或性质。
比如题干说“这个女生长得很好看”，而原文中提到的与“此女生”有关的内容是“这个女生是个善良的好孩子，这种情况下，长相和个性虽然都是在描述这个女生，但两者既不一致也不矛盾，此时考生应选NOT GIVEN。
雅思判定题出题套路
判断题的逻辑其实不难理解，但许多考生依然烦恼：看定义貌似懂了，一到做题的时候还是纠结不已。这跟考生的单词量、语法基础、长难句分析能力和思维习惯等方面都有关系。不过总结起来，每个选项的出题还是有一定套路的。
以下笔者来一一详述。
TRUE (YES)的出题套路
① 直接说对
“直接说对”指的是题干的意思与原文定位到的句子只是简单的同义替换，考生能直接判断题干所说与原文信息相符。
这样的题目其实是在考查考生的单词量大小，因为题干会使用不同的词汇对原文进行同义替换。
比如题干说long-term medical complaints，原文说chronic illnesses，考生就不但要认识long-term与chronic是同义替换关系，而且要明白medical与complaint组合在一起并不是“医疗投诉、医疗纠纷”这类意思，而是作为一个词组表示“疾病”。
备考此类题目的最好策略就是补充单词和词组。而备考的最好材料莫过于《剑桥雅思考试全真试题集》(以下简称《剑4》《剑5》等)系列。考生多看几篇以往的真题就会发现，有许多词汇和词组会高频地出现在不同题材的文章里，因此仔细研读真题文章中的生词能有效帮助解决词汇的问题。
② 间接说对
“间接说对”指的是有些题干需要根据原文某句话或几句话进行简单推理或综合理解才能判断其是TRUE (YES)。
应对此种情况，考生在读文章时请务必耐心一些，在定位到某句话而不能充分判断时，需根据情况补充上句话的背景信息或追加下句话的进一步信息，进而得出更准确的结论。
以下面这个真题为例。
例1：The survey concluded that one-fifth or 20% of the household transport requirement as outside the local (《剑七》Test 2 Passage 3第34题)
原文：Interesting facts regarding transport were found: 95% was on foot; 80% was within the locality; and 70% was related to the collection of water and firewood and travelling to grinding
解析：在定位到的原文句子里，考生虽然不能直接找到题干中的20%，但从原文中可以看出“本地范围内占80%”(80% was within the locality)，就可以推断出“本地范围外有20%”，由此得出本题应选TRUE。
③ 复杂同义表述
“复杂同义表述”指的是题干与定位到的原文句子同义替换更多更复杂，原文的表述方式也更曲折迂回，语序不符合中文读者理解习惯，考生有可能受自身语言能力所限看不出来题干与原文是同义替换。
针对此种情况，考生可以在考场上先跳过此题，集中精力解决其它更有把握的题目，以保证整体得分;也可以在平时备考中注意练习精读分析能力，让自己见多识广，看到多长的句子都心中不怵，能从容应对。
例2：Nineteenth-century studies of the nature of genius failed to take into account the uniqueness of the person’s (《剑8》Test 3 Passage 2第19题)
原文：However, the difficulty with the evidence produced by these studies, fascinating as they are in collecting together anecdotes and apparent similarities and exceptions, is that they are not what we would today call In other words, when, for instance, information is collated about early illnesses, methods of upbringing, schooling, , we must also take into account information from other historical sources about how common or exceptional these were at the
译文：但是，虽然(19世纪的)这些研究在收集汇总天才们的人生轶事以及他们之间显著的相似和与众不同这些方面颇为引人入胜，然而使用这些证据的困难之处在于，它们并不是我们今天所说的“常模参照”研究。换句话说，例如当我们收集关于早期疾病、儿童抚养方法、学校教育等信息时，我们必须也同时参考来自其他历史记载中的相关信息，考察这些情况在当时究竟是常见还是少见的。
解析：本题的题干是说“19世纪里对天才本质的研究没能考虑到此人养育方式的独特与否”，而从定位到的原文的译文可知，早期的研究确实没有考虑这些儿童养育方法等问题，由此本题应选TRUE。
这是一个利用长难句来考查考生阅读理解能力的典型例子，难度同时在于单词和耐心两处，很多考生都觉得，连读中文译文都有点不耐烦，要理解包含若干陌生单词的英语长句就更难了。
对此，考生最好的应对之道就是培养耐心，认真看。平时认真分析精读长难句，熟悉长难句的句式结构，在考场上就更能轻松地应对。
FALSE (NO)的出题套路
① 直接、明显的矛盾和抵触
有的题干与定位到的原文是明显的矛盾抵触关系，此时考生应选FALSE/NO选项。请看下面这个例子。
例3：Current thinking on humour has largely ignored Aristotle’s view on the (《剑5》Test 2 Passage 2第17题)
原文：But modern humour theorists have settled on some version of Aristotle’s belief that jokes are based on a reaction to or resolution of incongruity, when the punchline is either a nonsense or, though appearing silly, has a clever second
解析：虽然这道题定位到的原文句子生词很多，句子很长，但是对于“Aristotle’s belief that …”后面的东西考生通通不用看。考生需要弄清楚的是，现在对幽默的研究有没有忽略亚里士多德(Aristotle)的观点，有这个原文中的settle on (选定)就可以直接判断出，题干与原文是相互矛盾与抵触的。
② 间接不明显的矛盾和抵触
这种出题思路需要考生根据定位到的原文句子进行推断才能发现题干与原文的矛盾之处。这一题型专门用于对付那些想偷个小懒只找词汇的同义替换而不管整个句子到底在说什么的考生。请牢记：句子永远大于单独的词汇，不能只看单词而不管句子意思或上下文中的衔接关系。来看一个经典例子。
例4：The 1993 Sydney survey involved 289 patients who visited alternative therapists for acupuncture (《剑4》Test 2 Passage 2第22题)
原文：In 1993, Laver and his colleagues published a survey of 289 Sydney people who attended eight alternative therapists’ practices in These practices offered a wide range of alternative therapies from 25
解析：很多考生定位到上述原文句子之后，因为在原文句子中没有找到acupuncture (针灸疗法)这个不认识的词而选了NOT GIVEN选项。然而这里的两句话所给出的内容其实是可以否定掉题干的。从原文的意思可知，1993年悉尼调查里确实有289个病人，这些病人接受了八家诊所由25位治疗师提供的a wide range of (一系列)的治疗。换言之，这289位病人接受了各种治疗，由此可以反推知道他们接受的一定不是任何单一的治疗，而题干则说这289位病人接受的都是针灸疗法这一种，与原文产生矛盾，应选FALSE。
NOT GIVEN的出题套路
① 原文和题干的描述性质不同
这种出题思路对考生的英语阅读和理解水平要求都较高，因此按照这种思路出的题往往会让考生感到难以判断。举例说明，冷水与热水是矛盾的，因为它们都在描述“水的温度”这个属性;然而冷水与茶水则既不能说一致，也不能说彼此矛盾：这两者一个在说水的温度，另一个则说水的状态，此时考生应该选择NOT GIVEN。请看下面一个例子。
例5：Plato believed humour to be a sign of above-average (《剑5》Test 2 Passage 2第15题)
原文：Plato expressed the idea that humour is simply a delighted feeling of superiority over
解析：对比题干与定位到的原文，两者确实都是在说柏拉图对“幽默是什么”的表述，但原文说“幽默是感觉”，题干说“幽默是智商”，感觉和智商的性质不同，但并不彼此矛盾，此时考生应选NOT GIVEN。
② 把观点当事实，或把事实当观点
事实是客观的而观点是主观的，这二者既不一致也不矛盾。“某个人对于某件事怎么想”既不能等同于也不能否定掉这件事的客观定性。同理，客观定了性的某件事未必就意味着特定的某个人也是这么想。考生应该将事实与观点区分开。请看下面这个例子。
例6：The Lumiere Brothers’ film about the train was one of the greatest films ever (《剑6》Test 3 Passage 1第7题)
原文：One of the Lumiere Brothers’ earliest films was a 30-second piece which showed a section of a railway platform flooded with A train appears and heads straight for the And that is all that Yet the Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky, one of the greatest of all film artists, described the film as a ‘work of ’
解析：对比原文和题干，考生应该明白，原文说“最伟大的导演之一安德烈·塔可夫斯基(Andrei Tarkovsky)认为这部电影是天才之作”既不能等同于题干的“这部电影确实是最伟大的作品之一”，也无法否定掉题干的说法，因此此题只能选NOT GIVEN这项。
③ 把原文里出现的两个没有进行比较的内容放在一起比较
这种出题思路主要针对的是某些考生在考试中出现疲惫、马虎的心理，只单纯在原文中找到几个题干里的关键词就匆忙认为都被提及或表述一致，最终因为忽略了整句的意思而导致错选。
例7：Early peoples found it easier to count by using their fingers rather than a group of (《剑6》Test 2 Passage 3第40题)
原文：Counting is not directly related to the formation of a number concept because it is possible to count by matching the items being counted against a group of pebbles, grains of corn, or the counter’s
解析：此题的题干是将用手指数数与用石头数数进行了对比，然而在定位到的原文中却没有进行此种比较。这种“没有比较的比较”算是比较常见的NOT GIVEN选项的出题套路。
难点与解决之道
判断题的难点主要包括以下几点：
考生单词量不足，导致不能正确理解题干和原文
单词量不够并不仅仅是考生在应对判断题时所面临的问题，它是一个在所有英语考试中都令考生头疼的一个根本性问题。积累单词没有什么捷径，唯有少量多次、稳步积累、不断复习、巩固强化。一个人无论记忆力多么超乎常人，也不大可能日背千词、过目不忘。而制订合理的背单词计划，考生哪怕每天只补充10~20个单词，只要坚持下去，日积月累也能收获回报。
考生对单词意思了解不足，导致理解错误
部分考生在背诵单词时只记中文释义，不结合例句来理解，这样即使强记下了单词意思，却往往会导致对单词的意思了解不足。
例如，contemporary一词的释义是“当代的，现代的”，但要注意：不是只有我们的当下才能称为“当代”，任何一个给定时间点都有自己的“当代”，比如，与李白contemporary的人有杜甫，与莎士比亚contemporary的人有伊丽莎白一世女王。如果看到这个单词就将它等同于modern来理解，就有可能因为误解而做出错误选择。
如何避免出现这样的情况呢?
最好的办法莫过于对剑桥雅思真题里的文章进行仔细分析和精读，在语境下真正弄懂单词、词组和固定搭配的用法，储备真正掌握了的词汇来应对考试。
考生读题马虎，过度推理，导致误解了题干或原文句子
这个问题其实最不应该发生在考场上，却往往是考生容易“大意失荆州”之处。举个笔者的学生曾经产生过误解的例子：“Archaeology is a more demanding field of study than ” 这个题干原本表达的意思是“考古学是一门比人类学更加艰深的研究领域”，笔者的学生却曾将它理解成“考古学比人类学需要做更多的田野调查”，出现这个问题的原因是考生将field与study之间的那个of看漏了。
这样的问题该如何克服?
考生可以通过加大平时的英文阅读量来解决，熟能生巧，读得多了就能准确而快速地理解所读英文的真正意思。
雅思阅读题答案 第3篇
Test 6 Passage 1
Question 1
答案：A
关键词：food production
定位原文：A段第一行：“Two things distinguish food production from all other productive activities: first…”
解题思路：A段提到了食品生产与其他生产活动有两点不同，第一每个人每天都需要食物并且有权享有食物，第二食品生产很大程度上依靠自然。所以A段提到了仅适用于食品生产的特征。
Question 2
答案：B
关键词：farmers in certain parts of the world
定位原文：B段前两句：“Farmers everywhere face major risks… However, smallholder farmers in developing countries must in addition deal with adverse environments, both natural… and ”
解题思路：B段一开头就提到全球的农民都会遇到极端天气、长期气候变化及价格波动这些问题，后面又提到发展中国家的小农又要额外处理一些问题，包括自然问题及人为问题。题目中的certain parts of the world对应文中的developing countries。
Question 12&13
答案：CD
关键词：improving conditions for farmers
定位原文：H段第一句：“… in favour of community-based and autonomous risk management strategies through collective action groups, co-operatives or producers’ groups…” H段第三句：“collective action offers an important way for farmers to strengthen their political and economic bargaining power, and to reduce their business ”I段第三句：“community-supported agriculture, where consumers invest in local farmers by subscription and guarantee producers a fair price, is a risk-sharing model worth more attention”
解题思路：H段第一句提到很多作者及评论员都支持集体形式的自治风险管理策略，建立集体行动小组、合作企业或者生产商小组，H段第三句提到Murphy的观点，即这种集体行动能让农民增强他们在政治和经济上的交涉能力，并且削减他们的市场风险，与C选项对应。I段第三句提到在社区支持的农业中，顾客通过认购的方式投资当地农民，能保证比较合理的价格，这种形式分散了风险，值得更多关注，对应D选项。
雅思阅读题答案 第4篇
首先是时间掌控
正确的时间分配可以帮助考生在考场上最大限度的发挥自己的实际水平，提高整体正确率。合理的时间安排，原则上是20分钟一篇。
但是考生都有自己熟悉的话题和有把握的题材。所以，在正式开始做题之前，考生不妨可以通过标题浏览等方式Skim三篇文章，按照自己的实际情况对于三篇文章的难易程度进行定位，确定哪篇文章是自己把握性比较大的，对于这种比较有把握文章一定要保证时间充足，这样有助于整体正确率的提升。但是每一篇文章原则上最多不超过25分钟，否则考生是没有办法有效率的完成40道题目的。
在时间分配这一点上，要特别提醒那些基础比较好的考生。因为此类考生往往更加容易“栽跟头”。雅思阅读文章篇幅较长，之后还有四十道题目需要完成，这就要求考生精读和泛读相结合。需要提别提出的是，文章中的信息有主次之分，那些与考题相关的信息才是考生需要精读的内容。而基础较好的同学往往为了保证正确率会采取全篇精读的方式去完成题目，这样的话就没有办法保证在规定的时间内完成所有题目。
最后需要在时间安排上提醒考生们注意的是，要留取填写答题卡的时间。雅思考试第一场听力考试是有10分钟的时间留给考生填写答题卡的。但是在紧接着的第二场阅读考试中，填写答题卡的时间包含在一个小时考试时间里面。在此，雅思中国网海外考试研究中心的老师们建议考生，分篇填写答案。完成一篇之后就把答案填写在答题卡上，这样可以避免最后完全来不及填写答题卡的情况出现。
正确的做题顺序
除去时间掌控之外，考生们在考场上还要注意的是考试的题型安排。正确的做题顺序可以帮助考生更加有效的完成题目。
雅思学术类阅读现在官网上分为十大题型：
Multiple Choice;Short-answer questions;Sentence Completion;Notes, Summary or Table/Flow-chart Completion;Labelling a Diagram;Headings;Locating Information;Identification of Writer’s Views/Claims or of Information in a Text;Classification;Matching。
这些题型绝大多数题目是细节型的题。一般来说，建议考生按照从大意题到细节题的做题顺序完成整篇试题。也就是说，在考试过程中，如果考生遇到“Headings”这种标准的大意题，当然是需要最先完成的。而其他细节题在考生对于文章大意有所了解的前提下去完成会很容易定位。在此需要特别说明的是最近很流行的细节配对题，一般建议考生安排在其他题目完成之后再去完成，这样考生对于文章的结构和各段的大意都有比较清晰的了解，在这个基础上再去完成细节配对题会节约很多定位的时间，而且正确率也会有所提升。
良好的心理素质
最后要提醒即将考试的“烤鸭”们的就是信心和情绪。良好的心理素质是在考场上正常发挥水平的重要保证。
长期辛苦的备考之后，考生们有理由相信自己会在考场上取得满意的成绩。适当的自信也是阅读速度和解题正确率的保证。另外，有些考生如果碰到的文章是自己不熟悉的领域或不熟悉的题型就会大受“打击”，影响做题情绪。这个是完全没有必要的。要明白有时候文章当中那些生词往往根本不会影响考生做题，属于我们上文所提及的次要信息。所以千万不要让那些次要的内容影响了做题目的情绪，否则就是得不偿失了。
专家题的这三条建议也许不多，但却能够给即将上阵的“烤鸭”们一个很好的提醒和帮助，只要按照老师的建议走下去，再加上自己的努力，相信考生们会考出一鸣惊人的成绩的。

THE STORY OF SILK
The history of the world’s most luxurious fabric, from ancient China to the present day
Silk is a fine, smooth material produced from the cocoons — soft protective shells — that are made by mulberry silkworms (insect larvae). Legend has it that it was Lei Tzu, wife of the Yellow Emperor, ruler of China in about 3000 BC, who discovered One account of the story goes that as she was taking a walk in her husband’s gardens, she discovered that silkworms were responsible for the destruction of several mulberry She collected a number of cocoons and sat down to have a It just so happened that while she was sipping some tea, one of the cocoons that she had collected landed in the hot tea and started to unravel into a fine Lei Tzu found that she could wind this thread around her Subsequently, she persuaded her husband to allow her to rear silkworms on a grove of mulberry She also devised a special reel to draw the fibres from the cocoon into a single thread so that they would be strong enough to be woven into While it is unknown just how much of this is true, it is certainly known that silk cultivation has existed in China for several
Originally, silkworm farming was solely restricted to women, and it was they who were responsible for the growing, harvesting and Silk quickly grew into a symbol of status, and originally, only royalty were entitled to have clothes made of The rules were gradually relaxed over the years until finally during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911 AD), even peasants, the lowest caste, were also entitled to wear Sometime during the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD), silk was so prized that it was also used as a unit of Government officials were paid their salary in silk, and farmers paid their taxes in grain and Silk was also used as diplomatic gifts by the Fishing lines, bowstrings, musical instruments and paper were all made using The earliest indication of silk paper being used was discovered in the tomb of a noble who is estimated to have died around 168
Demand for this exotic fabric eventually created the lucrative trade route now known as the Silk Road, taking silk westward and bringing gold, silver and wool to the It was named the Silk Road after its most precious commodity, which was considered to be worth more than The Silk Road stretched over 6,000 kilometres from Eastern China to the Mediterranean Sea, following the Great Wall of China, climbing the Pamir mountain range, crossing modern-day Afghanistan and going on to the Middle East, with a major trading market in From there, the merchandise was shipped across the Mediterranean Few merchants travelled the entire route; goods were handled mostly by a series of

Reaching some gravelly coastline in the Arctic, upon which other arctic terns have converged, will serve its larger purpose as shaped by evolution: finding a place, a time, and a set of circumstances in which it can successfully hatch and rear
But migration is a complex issue, and biologists define it differently, depending in part on what sorts of animals they Joe! Berger, of the University of Montana, who works on the American pronghorn and other large terrestrial mammals, prefers what he calls a simple, practical definition suited to his beasts: ‘movements from a seasonal home area away to another home area and back again’. Generally the reason for such seasonal back-and-forth movement is to seek resources that aren’t available within a single area
But daily vertical movements by zooplankton in the ocean — upward by night to seek food, downward by day to escape predators — can also be considered So can the movement of aphids when, having depleted the young leaves on one food plant, their offspring then fly onward to a different host plant, with no one aphid ever returning to where it
Dingle is an evolutionary biologist who studies His definition is more intricate than Berger’s, citing those five features that distinguish migration from other forms of They allow for the fact that, for example, aphids will become sensitive to blue light (from the sky) when it’s time for takeoff on their big journey, and sensitive to yellow light (reflected from tender young leaves) when it’s appropriate to Birds will fatten themselves with heavy feeding in advance of a long migrational The value of his definition, Dingle argues, is that it focuses attention on what the phenomenon of wildebeest migration shares with the phenomenon of the aphids, and therefore helps guide researchers towards understanding how evolution has produced them
Human behaviour, however, is having a detrimental impact on animal The pronghorn, which resembles an antelope, though they are unrelated, is the fastest land mammal of the New One population, which spends the summer in the mountainous Grand Teton National Park of the western USA, follows a narrow route from its summer range in the mountains, across a river, and down onto the Here they wait out the frozen months, feeding mainly on sagebrush blown clear of These pronghorn are notable for the invariance of their migration route and the severity of its constriction at three If they can’t pass through each of the three during their spring migration, they can’t reach their bounty of summer grazing; if they can’t pass through again in autumn, escaping south onto those windblown plains, they are likely to die trying to overwinter in the deep Pronghorn, dependent on distance vision and speed to keep safe from predators, traverse high, open shoulders of land, where they can see and At one of the bottlenecks, forested hills rise to form a V, leaving a corridor of open ground only about 150 metres wide, filled with private Increasing development is leading toward a crisis for the pronghorn, threatening to choke off their
Conservation scientists, along with some biologists and land managers within the USA’s National Park Service and other agencies, are now working to preserve migrational behaviours, not just species and A National Forest has recognised the path of the pronghorn, much of which passes across its land, as a protected migration But neither the Forest Service nor the Park Service can control what happens on private land at a And with certain other migrating species, the challenge is complicated further — by vastly greater distances traversed, more jurisdictions, more borders, more dangers along the We will require wisdom and resoluteness to ensure that migrating species can continue their journeying a while

Preface to ‘How the other half thinks: Adventures in mathematical reasoning’
A Occasionally, in some difficult musical compositions, there are beautiful, but easy parts — parts so simple a beginner could play So it is with mathematics as There are some discoveries in advanced mathematics that do not depend on specialized knowledge, not even on algebra, geometry, or Instead they may involve, at most, a little arithmetic, such as ‘the sum of two odd numbers is even’, and common Each of the eight chapters in this book illustrates this Anyone can understand every step in the
The thinking in each chapter uses at most only elementary arithmetic, and sometimes not even Thus all readers will have the chance to participate in a mathematical experience, to appreciate the beauty of mathematics, and to become familiar with its logical, yet intuitive, style of
B One of my purposes in writing this book is to give readers who haven’t had the opportunity to see and enjoy real mathematics the chance to appreciate the mathematical way of I want to reveal not only some of the fascinating discoveries, but, more importantly, the reasoning behind
In that respect, this book differs from most books on mathematics written for the general Some present the lives of colorful Others describe important applications of Yet others go into mathematical procedures, but assume that the reader is adept in using
C I hope this book will help bridge that notorious gap that separates the two cultures: the humanities and the sciences, or should I say the right brain (intuitive) and the left brain (analytical, numerical). As the chapters will illustrate, mathematics is not restricted to the analytical and numerical; intuition plays a significant The alleged gap can be narrowed or completely overcome by anyone, in part because each of us is far from using the full capacity of either side of the To illustrate our human potential, 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

This book also serves readers who simply want to sharpen their analytical Many careers, such as law and medicine, require extended, precise Each chapter offers practice in following a sustained and closely argued line of That mathematics can develop this skill is shown by these two testimonials:

A lawyer made the same point, ‘Although I had no background in law — not even one political science course — I did well at one of the best law I attribute much of my success there to having learned, through the study of mathematics, and, in particular, theorems, how to analyze complicated Lawyers who have studied mathematics can master the legal principles in a way that most others ’

Pearls can come from either salt or freshwater Typically, saltwater
pearls tend to be higher quality, although there are several types of freshwater

Among cultured pearls, Akoya pearls from Japan are some of the most
A good quality necklace of 40 Akoya pearls measuring 7mm in diameter sells

on the other hand, has to do with the age of the oyster that created the pearl (the
more mature oysters produce larger pearls) and the location in which the pearl

nutrients from the ocean Also, the type of mussel common to the area

The risks agriculture faces in developing countries
Synthesis of an online debate
A Two things distinguish food production from all other productive activities: first, every single person needs food each day and has a right to it; and second, it is hugely dependent on These two unique aspects, one political, the other natural, make food production highly vulnerable and different from any other At the same time, cultural values are highly entrenched in food and agricultural systems
B Farmers everywhere face major risks, including extreme weather, long-term climate change, and price volatility in input and product However, smallholder farmers in developing countries must in addition deal with adverse environments, both natural, in terms of soil quality, rainfall, , and human, in terms of infrastructure, financial systems, markets, knowledge and Counter-intuitively, hunger is prevalent among many smallholder farmers in the developing
C Participants in the online debate argued that our biggest challenge is to address the underlying causes of the agricultural system’s inability to ensure sufficient food for all, and they identified as drivers of this problem our dependency on fossil fuels and unsupportive government
D On the question of mitigating the risks farmers face, most essayists called for greater state In his essay, Kanayo Nwanze, President of the International Fund for Agricultural Development, argued that governments can significantly reduce risks for farmers by providing basic services like roads to get produce more efficiently to markets, or water and food storage facilities to reduce Sophia Murphy, senior advisor to the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy, suggested that the procurement and holding of stocks by governments can also help mitigate wild swings in food prices by alleviating uncertainties about market

E Shenggen Fan, Director General of the International Food Policy Research Institute, held up social safety nets and public welfare programmes in Ethiopia, Brazil and Mexico as valuable ways to address poverty among farming families and reduce their vulnerability to agriculture However, some commentators responded that cash transfers to poor families do not necessarily translate into increased food security, as these programmes do not always strengthen food production or raise Regarding state subsidies for agriculture, Rokeya Kabir, Executive Director of Bangladesh Nari Progati Sangha, commented in her essay that these ‘have not compensated for the stranglehold exercised by private In fact, studies show that sixty percent of beneficiaries of subsidies are not poor, but rich landowners and non-farmer ’
F Nwanze, Murphy and Fan argued that private risk management tools, like private insurance, commodity futures markets, and rural finance can help small-scale producers mitigate risk and allow for investment in Kabir warned that financial support schemes often encourage the adoption of high-input agricultural practices, which in the medium term may raise production costs beyond the value of their Murphy noted that when futures markets become excessively financialised they can contribute to short-term price volatility, which increases farmers’ food Many participants and commentators emphasised that greater transparency in markets is needed to mitigate the impact of volatility, and make evident whether adequate stocks and supplies are Others contended that agribusiness companies should be held responsible for paying for negative side

H Some participating authors and commentators argued in favour of community- based and autonomous risk management strategies through collective action groups, co-operatives or producers’ Such groups enhance market opportunities for small-scale producers, reduce marketing costs and synchronise buying and selling with seasonal price According to Murphy, ‘collective action offers an important way for farmers to strengthen their political and economic bargaining power, and to reduce their business ’ One commentator, Giel Ton, warned that collective action does not come as a free It takes time, effort and money to organise, build trust and to Others, like Marcel Vernooij and Marcel Beukeboom, suggested that in order to ‘apply what we already know’, all stakeholders, including business, government, scientists and civil society, must work together, starting at the beginning of the value

首先，是如何提高自己英语阅读的基本能力。而这样的能力又主要分为两个层次：词汇的掌握和读句子的能力。阅读基本能力的提升，需要至少2个月的时间，通过给学生专业化的方案指导，将课堂上的学习和课堂后的复习相结合，让其在一个合理的时间规划期内去提升自己的基础能力，达到一个最佳的效果。这也是对于我们老师在教学中要求一直秉持的原则，忌急于求成，囫囵吞枣。
那么怎么去做基础能力提升呢?对于大部分学生而言，词汇的把握是核心。第一、同学们必须去把握阅读部分的高频词，这些词汇是所有同学都必须认真记忆的，按照我们最新的权威数据统计，大概在1000个单词左右，我们也为所有的学员将这些单词做成了独有的单词库，帮助大家以最高效的方式掌握必考词汇;第二、同学们需要掌握好一些近义词或同义词词组，雅思的阅读部分考查就是看同学们对同义词替换的一个把握，这些词组的掌握是同学们获得高分的基础。
我们同样为同学们对这些词组进行了总结和研究。在我们课堂上，我们授课老师会定期抽查同学们对于这2个词汇库的掌握，督促同学们做好词汇的记忆工作。未参加培训的同学不妨可以效仿这样的模式，给自己一些压力和期限，认真做好最基本词汇与词组的积累。
解决雅思阅读的第二方面，就是要掌握好雅思阅读部分解题的关键性技巧。雅思阅读部分共有3篇文章，每篇1000词左右，有40道题目要回答，时间是一小时。如果没有对考试题型有透彻理解，那么很难在这么紧张的时间里去做好题目。因此一定要按照不同考题的特点和对应的能力要求，有的放矢的去准备以及应对。笔者在日常的教学中会指导同学们把握不同题目的做题方法和技巧，一方面要让他们知道为什么要这样去思考，去做题，另一方面告诉他们怎么去灵活变通的去使用技巧。
只有把方法以及如何灵活运用这些方法讲透，学生们才能真正地掌握好、正确使用、自信满满地考取高分。我的小部分学生曾和我透露过这样的困惑，在参加过一些培训之后，考试不理想，但是明明上课的时候听得很爽，只是到考场上做题却犯难。
其实，那正是因为题目的解题技巧没讲透，没讲清楚应该怎么灵活的运用，培训老师没有从考生的角度去思考。我们的模考体系就是考虑到这一点建立健全起来的，通过阶段性测试检验学生有没有真正地听懂，老师有没有认真负责地讲清楚。模考也不断让同学们看到自己阶段性学习成果，从而更有动力。

雅思阅读题答案 第10篇
雅思与其它标准考试(如GRE)不同，它仅考查语言。这对于考试者意味着什么呢?这表明，雅思考试并不考查你的推理能力。
这一规律怎样应用呢?虽然有时你会被问到出题者不会给你提供信息然后让你基于这些信息得出结论。相反，他们给你提供信息并问你这些信息。基本上，他们都是让你重复刚刚给你的信息。答案就在你眼前一篇文章的主题或为这篇文章选一个合适的标题，但绝大多数的问题都会关注文章中给出的细节信息。你要做的仅是把他提供的信息再重复给他。你不会被要求基于这些信息得出结论。以下面的摘录为例：
“Research in Britain has shown that “green consumers” continue to flourish as a significant group amongst This suggests that politicians who claim environmentalism is yesterday’s issue may be seriously misjudging the public ” Based upon this passage, you will never be asked a question like:“There has been a continued presence of “green consumers” in the British market because of …”
the rise of the Green
Concern with global warming
Fear of Mad Cow Disease
Concern with general state of environment
这些答案都没有的文章中出现。所以，雅思考试绝不会问这类问题。相反，他们会问这样的问题：
“Politicians may have “misjudged the public mood” because…”
they are pre-occupied with the recession and financial
There is more widespread interest in the environmental agenda than they
Consumer spending has increased significantly as a result of “green”
Shoppers are displeased with government policies on a range of
正如文中所说，政治家们认为消费者不再关心环境问题是他们错误判断了民意。答案显易见。这就是雅思考试的出题方法。正确答案是“B”。
对于此规律也会出现一些例外，我们也发现了一些。但至少现在我们弄清了自己的任务。我们的任务并非掌握或记忆面前的信息，而是了解出题者让我们寻找的信息是什么。因为我们知道可以找得到所有的答案，下面我们要掌握的就是怎样寻找了。如果我们的阅读的同时就知道要找什么，我们甚至可能在知道问题是什么之前就找到答案。

雅思阅读技巧锦囊一：英语词库
所谓英语词库是英语对英语的词库而非是英语对汉语的词库。每个烤鸭都清楚雅思是国际性考试而非中国性质考试，单词背其中文意思在考试过程中是无效的，题目和文章都没有中文的出现。雅思阅读就是在全文中的找答案，可是你所用定位的词很多时候不会老老实实的坐在原文里等着你，这就需要你具备英语同义词的能力。
比如剑桥6的67页的list of headings 的 key point 2 的首句中managers should ensure that all employees have specific goals and receive comments on how well they are doing in those 与之相对应的答案是establish targets and give feedback 同意词组为：have specific goals等于establish targets，receive comments on how well they are doing in those goals等于give feedback。
雅思阅读技巧锦囊二：ability to paraphrase
Paraphrase意思是用英文的句子或者段落来解释其英文的句子或者段落。对于外语系的孩子来讲这种能力的考试是家常便饭，也就造就了他们的理解能力比非外语系的同学们好很多。这种能力在雅思阅读考试中也是司空见惯的。
例如：剑桥6的43页的判断题 Cities with high level of bicycles usage can be efficient even when public transport is only averagely 很多孩子看见only习惯性判为NO。因为太绝对了。实则不然，答案为YES。对应于原文中two most ‘bicycle friend’ cities considered—Amsterdam and Copenhagen—were very efficient, even though their public transport systems were ‘ reasonable but

雅思阅读题答案 第12篇
Passage 1
Question 1
答案：
tea
关键词：
3000 BC, cocoon, fell into, emperor"s wife
定位原文: 第1段第5句“It just so happened ” 这些蚕茧中的一粒掉进了热茶中并开始松散成为一根细丝。
解题思路: “3000BC”和“皇帝的妻子”都很好定位，在第一段的第二句中便可看到，但却偏偏没有“掉进”这个信息，直到读者看到第五句中的landed in这个同义表述才能恍然大悟，答案为tea。
Question 2
答案：
reel
关键词：
emperor"s wife, invented, pull out silk fibres
定位原文：
第1段第8句“She also devised a special reel to ”她还设计发明了一种特殊的卷轴来将蚕茧中的纤维纺成丝线。
解题思路：
此题的定位距离上一道题不远，仍是皇帝妻子所做的事。题干说“皇帝的妻子发明了一个 _____ 来拽出丝绸纤维”，读者只需回到原文找到devised这个对invented进行同义表述的单词，即不难发现答案为reel。
Question 3
答案：
women
关键词：
only, allowed to produce
定位原文：
第2段第1句“Originally, silkworm farming …” 起初，桑蚕业完全是只由女性来进行的，她们要负责种植、收获和纺织。
解题思路：此题基本是考査考生对于solely表示only这个意思的认知。题干说“只有被允许生产丝绸”，根据语法还可推知此空格内需填写名词的复数形式。定位到原文的solely restricted to即可得到答案women。
Question 4
答案：
royalty
关键词：
only, allowed to wear
对应原文：
第2段第2句“Silk quickly grew into a symbol of status, and originally, only …” 成为社会地位的象征，起先只有皇室才能穿。
解题思路：
此题结构与上一题极其相似，题干说“只有______被允许穿着丝绸”。这次题千里的only一词倒是原词重现在文中，不过却考査考生是否认识be entitled to与be allowed to的同义替换，或者考生也可通过题干中wear与文中clothes的对应确定答案为royalty。
Question 5
答案：
currency
关键词：
used, a form of, farmers" taxes
定位原文：
第2段第4、5句“Sometime during …” 到汉朝的某个时段，珍贵到被当做一种货币。
解题思路：
此题的题干本身给出信息不多，“丝绸被用作一种形式的______”;考生也可能并不熟 悉a unit of与a form of的同义替换。但好在下一句的例子提到了更多细节：例如，农民交税的一部分就是丝绸。利用“农民交税”这个信息可以更顺利地进行定位，答案为currency货币。
Question 6
答案: paper
关键词: 168AD，made from
定位原文: 第2段最后1句“The earliest indication of … ”人类最早使用丝质纸的证据发现于一位贵族的墓中。
解题思路：
此题中最明显的定位词非168AD莫属。题干说“大约在公元168年发现了用丝绸制作的的证据”，因此考生需要在定位句中寻找某种以丝绸为材质的物品。对比原文indication(此处意即证据) of silk paper可知答案为paper。
Question 7
答案：
wool
关键词：
Silk Road, westward, precious metals
定位原文：
第3段第1句“Demand for this exotic fabric eventually …” 最终催生了“丝绸之路”的贸易路线，且向西输送丝绸而向东则运来金、银和毛料。
解题思路：
此题题干说“商人们利用丝绸之路向西运送丝绸并运______回来和贵重金属”。定位十分容易，对比原文可知precious metal即文中的gold 和silver，于是答案为另外的物品wool。
Question 8
答案: monks
关键词: hide, canes, Constantinople
定位原文: 第4段前第3句“According to another legend, monks…” 根据另一个传说版本，是为拜占庭皇帝工作的和尚们走私偷运了蚕卵。
解题思路: 此题依然可以利用题干中的数字和大写轻松定位。题干说 “在公元550年，_____把蚕卵藏在手杖里带到了君士坦丁堡”，可以推知此题答案必然身份为人，不过考生需分辨清楚发出smuggled (走私)这个动作的人是一些为拜占庭皇帝工作的僧侣而非在句子中离smuggled这个动词更近的皇帝本人，答案为monks。
Question 9
答案: nylon
关键词: 20th century, manmade fibres, decline
定位原文: 第5段的第3句。“Then in the twentieth century, new ……” 接下来在20世纪里，新型人造纤维材料，例如尼龙，开始应用在传统上一直使用丝绸的产品中，例如长筒袜和降落伞。
解题思路：
此题的定位需先找到“20世纪”这一信息。题干说“ _____和其他人造纤维材料造成了丝绸生产的衰落”，可以推知答案必然为某种具体的人造纤维材料。対比原文只有一种具体人造材料被提及，答案为nylon。
Question 10
答案: False
关键词：
Gold, most valuable material, Silk Road
定位原文：
第3段第2句“It was named the Silk Road ” 之所以命名为丝绸之路，是因为运输了最贵重的商品，比黄金价值更高的“丝绸”。
解题思路: 原文意思不难理解，丝绸之路之所以名为“丝绸”之路，是以其最有价值的货品(即丝绸)来命名的，还有定语从句进一步澄清“丝绸被认为比黄金价值更高”，与题干信息相悖。
Question 11
答案: True
关键词: Most tradesmen, certain sections of the Silk Road
定位原文: 第3段最后一句“Few merchants travelled …” 基本没有商人走完全程，货物传递都靠很多中间人。
解题思路: 只需认识merchants这个可以用来替换tradesmen的词汇即可顺利定位，而原文内容说很少有商人会走完整条路线，分号后更是换了种方式再表达一遍：商品大多是由一系列中间经手入来传递交接的，与题干内容一致。
Question 12
答案：
False
关键词：
Byzantines, spread, across the West
定位原文：
第4段第4句“The Byzantines were as secretive…”
解题思路：
文章中说“拜占庭人和中国人一样守秘不宣，在很多个世纪里丝绸料子的纺织和贸易都受到帝国严格的把控垄断”，也就是说拜占庭人并没有积极地把丝绸生产的做法传播出去，而是保守了秘密，与题干信息相反。注意：本段第二句中曾经提及，丝绸制作的秘密确实是经由拜占庭帝国而传播到世界上其他国家去的，但这句表述并不能等同于题干中的“拜占庭人将丝绸生产的做法传遍西方”，因为后者是在说他们出于主动的意愿去传播这种方法，而前者则是陈述事实：无论如何，最终丝绸的生产方法确实是经由拜占庭传播到各地的。二者不能混为一谈。
Question 13
答案：
Not Given
关键词：
Silk yarn, majority, exported from China
定位原文：
第5段最后两句“However, in more recent decades, China…”
解题思路：
原文只说中国在近几十年成为世界最大的生丝和丝线的生产者和出口国，其产量几乎占全球丝绸产量的三分之二，并没有明确提及在这些产品的构成中，丝线是否占到大多数。
Test 3 Passage 2
Question 14
答案: False
关键词: local gulls, arctic terns, food
定位原文: 第2段前两句“An arctic tern, on its 20,000 km flight…”
解题思路: local gulls 会为了herring 这样的 handouts 而 voraciously 俯冲下来，然而arctic tern却会继续飞行，显然二者在面对食物时表现得并不一样。不考虑有可能很不多不认识的单词，但看while这个提示词又明确强化了是不一样的，与题干信息相悖。
Question 15
答案: True
关键词: expert"s definitions, vary, area of study
定位原文: 第3段第1句“But migration is a complex…”迁徙是个复杂的问题，生物学家依据研究的动物不同对定义也各不相同。
解题思路: 只需按照“专家的定义”找到原文中的相应描述即可，答案与题目“专家们对于迁徙的定义往往会根据他们的研究领域而各有不同”为同义表达。
Question 16
答案：
Not Given
关键词：
very few experts agree, movement of aphids
定位原文：第4段前两句“But daily vertical movements by…”
解题思路: 本题具有一定的迷惑性。“蚜虫移动”这个信息不难定位，原文也以事实陈述的口吻指出：浮游生物和蚜虫的移动确实可以被视为某种形式的迁徙。但此题是一道典型的“将事实与观点相混淆”思路的判断题，题干说“基本没有什么专家认同这个看法”，是明确的“专家观点表达”，与原文的“事实陈述”既不能说是矛盾，也不能说是一致，而是Not Given。
Question 17
答案：
True
关键词：
aphids" journeys, affected, changes in the light
定位原文：
第5段第3句“, aphids will become sensitive to blue light (from the sky) when it"s time for takeoff on their big journey…” 对蓝光和黄光敏感…….
解题思路：可能未必认识aphids (蚜虫)这个单词，但它在文中作为昆虫名并没有被替换。阅读定位句可知，这种生物确实会在不同的情況下分别对蓝光和黄光更加敏感，也就是“会受到光色变化的影响”，答案为True。
Question 18
答案: False
关键词：
Dingle"s aim, distinguish
定位原文：
第5段最后一句“The value of his definition, Dingle…”
解题思路: 由于有Dingle这个大写人名，本题定位不难。Dingle的目的在于找到迁徙行为的共性，与题干所表述的“目标在于区分不同物种迁徙行为之间的差异”是两个不同的意思。
Question 19
答案: G
关键词：
Dingle, migratory routes, likely
定位原文：
第1段的第4、5句“The biologist Hugh Dingle has identified five…”
解题思路：
题干说“按照Dingle的说法，迁徙的路线往住会______” 回到原文中Dingle这个人名不难找到，route (路线)这个意思却是通过linear和 zigzaggy这两个用以描述“路线”是平直还是曲折的形容词来间接表达的，需要考生认识其中至少一个才能更准确定位。而一旦定位之后确定答案则很容易，为G项：follow a straight line (沿着一条直线)。
Question 20
答案：
C
关键词：
prepare for, likely to
定位原文：第1段第5句“…; they involve special behaviours concerning preparation…”
解题思路：题干说“为了给迁徙做准各，动物们往往会_____”。prepare这个题干中的定位信息在原文中仅仅改了词性，变成了名词preparation，很容易被找到;而括号里对于“做准备”的举例说明overfeeding也不是困难的词汇，可以轻松得出答案为C: eat more than they need for immediate purposes (吃得比它们当下立刻就需要的要多)。
Question 21
答案：
A
关键词：
during migration, unlikely to
定位原文：第1段最后一句“And one more: migrating…”
解题思路：题干说“在迁徙过程中，动物们一般不会______”，此题比较有迷惑性，原因在于原文中给出了两个否定性信息：undistracted by temptations 和 undeterred by challenges that would turn other animals aside，分别对应于选项E和选项A。注意：选项E和A所描述内容的方向是相反的。根据题干中的unlikely，可得出答案为A: be discouraged by difficulties，即“不会被困难阻挡”，如果选E的话，则与文意相反。
Question 22
答案：
E
关键词：
Arctic terns, illustrate, ability
定位原文：
第2段前四句 “An arctic tern, on its 20,000 km flight from …”
解题思路: 题干说“北极燕鸥证明了迁徙中的动物的______能力”。Arctic ton不难定位，但考生需要具备耐心，在第一次找到定位词的句子里没有提供相关解题信息的时候继续向下阅读原文，直到看至第四句时能得出完整信息，答案为E: ignore distractions (忽视那些分散注意力的因素)。
Question 23
答案：
speed
关键词：
pronghorns, rely on, eyesight, predators
定位原文：第6段倒数第3句“Pronghorn, dependent on distance vision…”
解题思路：
pronghorn这个词在文中出现在了两个部位。第一次是在第三段中，只是在介绍Joel Berger 的研究领域时被简短地一带而过，没有展开;第二次则是在文章的后两段中密集出现，此时才是真正说到了其迁徙行为的细节内容，是此部分summary题型对应的正文部分。题干说“叉角羚依赖它们的视力和_____来躲避捕食者”。対比原文中与vision形成并列关系的内容，可得答案为speed。
Question 24
答案: plains
关键词: summer habitat, national park, winter home
定位原文: 第6段第3、4句“One population, which spends the summer in the mountainous…”
解题思路：题干说“某个特定种群(叉角羚)的夏季栖息地是一个国家公园，而它们的冬季家园则位于_____”。“夏季”和“国家公园”这两个信息都不难在文中找到，但包含这两个信息的句子里提供的地点“平原”却不容易被确定为答案，原因在于本句中并没有明确提及“冬季”这个信息。考生需要耐心向下再阅读一句，找到“冬季”的同义替换frozen months，从而用here这个地点指代词来确认，答案为plains。
Question 25
答案：
bottlenecks
关键词：
route, three
定位原文：第6段第5句“These pronghorn are notable for…”
解题思路：题干说“它们在这两个区域之间的迁徙路线包含三个_____”。其实只需找到文中明确提及“三”这个数目的所指对象即可，答案为bottlenecks。
Question 26
答案：
corridor
关键词：problem, construction of new homes, narrow
定位原文：第6段倒数第2句“At one of the bottlenecks, forested hills…”
解题思路：题干说“问题之一来自叉角羚迁徙路线上一条狭长_____上的新建房屋”。本题的难度来自于使用了narrow来同义替换“只有150米宽”这一具体的细节信息，可能会给定位造成一定障碍。而一旦成功定位即可得出答条为corridor。
Test 3 Passage 3
Question 27
答案：D
关键词：assume, lack of mathematical knowledge
定位原文：D段第1句“Other scientists have written books to…”
解题思路：题目：a reference to books that assume a lack of mathematical knowledge; 译文：提到了这样一些书，它们都设定其内容缺失数学专业知识。books所进行的assume是针对书的读者而言，也就是说，它们假设的是“读者并不具有(或者说缺乏)特别深厚的数学知识”，但在英语地道表达中此句并不需要出现readers这个单词，需要考生自行领会。回到原文中，have necessarily had to omit这个表达也清楚地表明这类书籍是“出于必要、不得不省略了”数学相关内容。也就是说，这些书并不是故意对数学专业知识避而不谈，而是考虑到了读者群的具体情况而刻意避免了深入艰涩的数学内容。
Question 28：
答案：B
关键词：not a typical book
定位原文：
B部分第2段第1句“In that respect, this book differs from…”
解题思路：题目：the way in which this is not a typical book about mathematics;译文：本书在何种意义上并非一本典型的数学题材相关书籍。此题相対来说比较容易，只需考生看出not a typical book 与 differs from most books 的简单同义替换。
Question 29：
答案：G
关键词：personal examples, helped by
定位原文：G部分
解题思路：题目：personal examples of being helped by mathematics;译文：得到数学助益的个人案例。此题从理解题干或原文的角度来看都并不困难，文章中医生和律师的个人案例无论读懂哪一个都足以帮助解题。但如果考生仅仅只着眼于在文章中寻找某个关键词的同义替换，则无论 personal, example 还是help 都无法找到，反而会遭遇困难。
Question 30：
答案：C
关键词：examples of people, abilities, incompatible
定位原文：
C段最后一句 “To illustrate our human potential, I…”
解题思路：题目：examples of people who each had abilities that seemed incompatible; 译文：举例同时具有的各种能力看起来似乎并不协调的人物例子。需灵活理解题干中的incompatible一词，未必一定是“不可兼容的”，也可以泛指“似乎有矛盾、不一致”这样的状态。言下之意，一个人可以既具备这类能力，又同时具有另外一类不同的能力，而看似这两种能力好像不应该同时出现在一个人的身上。原文中列举了四人，每个人都在两个截然不同的领域中有所建树，正是为了表达这样的意思。
Question 31：
答案：B
关键词：different focuses
定位原文：B 部分第2段后3句 “Some present the lives …”
解题思路：题目：mention of different focuses of books about mathematics;译文：提到了不同的数学类书籍的不同关注点。此题从理解题干意思到理解原文意思都不困难。题干属于总结阐述型，而原文则给出细节，具体列举有哪几类着眼点各自不同的数学类书籍。
Question 32：
答案：E
关键词：contrast, other kinds of publication
定位原文：E段第3句“You will turn…”
解题思路：题目：a contrast between reading this book and reading other kinds of publication; 译文：比较阅读此书和阅读其他出版物的不同体验。此题最容易的入手点在于“其他出版物”这个信息，文中的novel和newspaper都能与此构成对应，只需按部就班读到此处信息即可。
Question 33：
答案：A
关键词：whole of the book, accessible to everybody
定位原文：
A部分第1段最后一句和第2段第2句“Anyone can understand …”“Thus all readers…”
解题思路：题目：a claim that the whole of the book is accessible to everybody; 译文：声称这本书的所有部分都能让每个人看懂。此题相対比较简单，A部分中无论是看到第一段还是第二段的相关内容，都可比较顺利地得出答案。
Question 34：
答案：F
关键词：different categories, intended readers
定位原文：F部分第1段“As I wrote, I kept…”
解题思路：题目：a reference to different categories of intended readers of this book; 译文：提到这本书的目标读者群的不同类别。本题没有什么难度，定位后可以比较轻松地解题。
Question 35：
答案：
beginner
关键词：both music and mathematics, suitable
定位原文：A部分第1段第1、2句“Occasionally, in some difficult musical…”
解题思路：题干说“音乐和数学中都有某些领域是适合于这样的人的”。根据语法可以推知此处应该寻找某种“人”，回到原文中可以迅速、轻松定位“音乐”这个信息，根据So it well的信息也可认定此处确实是音乐与数学并列被提及的答案出处，再通过阅读定位句可得答案为beginner。
Question 36：
答案：
arithmetic
关键词：understand advanced mathematics, limited knowledge
定位原文：A部分第1段第3、4句“There are some discoveries… ”
解题思路：题干说“有时候要理解高等数学也只不过需要使用关于_____的一点有限知识就足够了”。考生可以轻松用advanced mathematics回到原文中定位，也不必在看到可能不熟悉的algebra geometry, or trigonometry 担心，根据本句上下文看出它们都是“高等数学”的具体举例内容即可。下一句则以instead和a little 来表明此处列举的内容“并不高深”，对比题干要求可知答案为arithmetic。
Question 37：
答案：
intuitive
关键词：as well as, analytical skills
定位原文：A部分第2段最后一句“Thus all readers will…” 或C段第一句 “I hope this book…”
解题思路：题干说“作者意在展示数学除了需要分析技巧外也需要_____思维”。其实在文中两处都可找到答案。第一次是在A部分，虽然没有analytical这个定位词，但有logical这个类似信息，按部就班通读全文完全可以通过此句中的yet对比关系确定答案为intuitive;但如果更倾向于利用关键词analytical skills和as well as这个并列关系来寻找答案的话，更容易的定位出现在C段中，可以直接找到analytical原词，再利用and并列关系可以确定答案为intuitive。
Question 38：
答案：
scientists
关键词：leave out, central to their theories
定位原文：D段第1句“Other scientists have written…”
解题思路：题干说“一些由_____写出来的书不得不省略一些对于他们的理论来说至关重要的数学知识”。细读题干可以推知空格内必然是作者、人，此处考査考生是否认识原文中omit一词为leave out词组的同义替换，如果有此词汇基础则可比较轻松地得出答案为 scientists。
Question 39：
答案：
experiments
关键词：perform, while reading
定位原文：E段最后两句“You will turn these pages…”
解题思路：题干说“作者建议非数学专业出身的读者们在阅读此书时进行_____”。考生应该不难看出原文中 turn these pages 与题干中 while reading 的同义替换，只是在确定具体答案的时候需要仔细辨別，因为句中给出了两个并列信息，分别是 check claims 和 carry out experiments。
经过对比可知，只有carry out才能与perform对应，因此答案为experiments。
Question 40：
答案：
theorems
关键词：lawyer, helped, even more than, other areas
定位原文：G部分第2段第2句 “I attribute much of my success there…”
解题思路：题干说“一个律师发现在其学习法律的过程中学习甚至比其他数学领域知识更有帮助”。根据此信息可以得知空格内必定需要填写某个具体的数学领域。利用lawyer可以轻松定位，仔细阅读定位部分可以知道，只有in particular这个词组之后的内容才有可能是具体数学领域知识，由此得出答案为theorems。
