剑桥雅思11Test2Passage1阅读答案解析 Raising the Mary Rose

第1题答案：TRUE

对应原文：第1段：Accounts of what happened to the ship vary

答案解析：第1段中部提到，对于船只发生的事情说法不一。后面还举了两种说法的例子。可见人们对于玛丽玫瑰号沉没的原因仍有争议。由此判断答案为TRUE。

第2题答案：NOT GIVEN

对应原文：第1段：What is undisputed, however, is that the Mary Rose sank into the Solent that day

答案解析：原文中只提到玛丽玫瑰号在那一天沉没，至于是否还有其他船只沉没则完全没有提及。由此判断答案为NOT GIVEN。

第3题答案：TRUE

对应原文：第2段：Because of the way the ship sank, nearly all of the starboard half survived intact.

答案解析：第2段中部提到，由于船只沉没的方式，整个右舷都几乎保持完整。哪怕我们不知道starboard的含义，也可以通过half与one side，undamaged与intact的对应来判断答案为TRUE。

第4题答案：FALSE

对应原文：第5段：McKee and his team now knew for certain that they had found the wreck, but were as yet unaware that it also housed a treasure trove of beautifully preserved artefacts.

答案解析：第5段提到Mckee和他的团队可以确定他们发现了沉船，但他们还不知道里面有许多保存完好的手工艺品。题干中的knew与原文中的yet unaware冲突，由此判断答案为FALSE。

第5题答案：C

对应原文：第4段：But in 1965, military historian and amateur diver Alexander McKee, in conjunction with the British Sub-Aqua Club, initiated a project called ‘Solent Ships’. While on paper this was a plan to examine a number of known wrecks in the Solent, what McKee really hoped for was to find the Mary Rose.

答案解析：第4段第2句和第3句描述了McKee发起了一场寻找玛丽玫瑰号的项目。题干中launched与原文initiate对应，由此确定C选项1965为答案。

第6题答案：B

对应原文：第3段：Deane continued diving on the site intermittently until 1840

答案解析：第3段最后提到，Deane断断续续地潜入该地点直到1840年。Deane即对应题干中的one person，由此判断答案为B。

第7题答案：G

对应原文：第5段：the operation was not given the go-ahead until January 1982

答案解析：第5段最后提到，打捞行动直到1982年才得到批准。题干中agreed与原文中given the go-ahead对应，由此确定答案为G。

第8题答案：A

对应原文：第3段：Then, on 16 June 1836, some fishermen in the Solent found that their equipment was caught on an underwater obstruction, which turned out to be the Mary Rose.

答案解析：第3段开头描述了玛丽玫瑰号由于挂住渔民设备而被发现的过程。时间是1836年6月16日，因此确定A为答案。

第9题答案：(lifting) frame

对应原文：第6段：The hull was attached to a lifting frame via a network of bolts and lifting wires.

答案解析：根据wires定位到这句话。题干对原文内容进行了颠倒，本来说的是船体被连接到起吊框架上。现在变成什么东西被连接到船体上。不过难度不算太大，仍然可以确定lifting frame为答案。

第10题答案：hydraulic jacks

对应原文：第6段：The problem of the hull being sucked back downwards into the mud was overcome by using 12 hydraulic jacks.

答案解析：根据hull being sucked定位到这句话。题干问的是什么阻止船体被吸回到泥土中，由此确定答案为hydraulic jacks.

第11题答案：stabbing guides

对应原文：第6段：This required precise positioning to locate the legs into the ‘stabbing guides’ of the lifting cradle.

答案解析：根据legs定位到这句话，into原词出现，由此确定答案为stabbing guides。

第12题答案：(lifting) cradle

对应原文：第6段：the hull was lifted completely clear of the seabed and transferred underwater into the lifting cradle.

答案解析：这道题出现了乱序，答案反而在上一道题目的前面。lowered与transferred对应，再加上into原词出现，由此确定答案为lifting cradle。

第13题答案：air bags

对应原文：第6段：and was fitted with air bags to provide additional cushioning for the hull‘s delicate timber framework.

答案解析：题目中的extra protectiong与原文中的additional cushioning对应，由此确定答案为air bags。
