剑桥16阅读解析：T3P1-古罗马造船和航运
同学们好，前面我们解析了剑桥16阅读的前两套题（见上面话题链接），今天我们继续test3 的解析。

再次说明：在本系列的解析中，我们不会像真实阅读月计划那样讲做题方法，不包含题目考点总结，不会视频解析文章里的长难句，不会对易错题抽丝剥茧地讲解，没有文章重点词汇总结，也没有全文详细翻译。

这是因为要保护付费学员的权益，敬请理解。

但我保证自己写的解析，一如既往的清晰易懂。

各位同学可以把本系列看成是一个思维正确的简单版解析，仅供大家练习后参考。

今天我们推送的是剑16第三套题的阅读Passage1，<Roman shipbuilding and navigation>，这篇历史类文章属于典型的Passage1，简单易懂，题目也是常规的判断和填空，但是大家想要拿满分也不是很容易。

参考答案：
1-5: FALSE, NOT GIVEN, FALSE, TRUE, TRUE
6-13: lightweight, bronze, levels, hull, triangular, music, grain, towboats
1. 定位第1段：The romans were not traditionally sailors but mostly land-based people, who learned to build ships from the people that they conquered, namely the Greeks and the Egyptians. 原文指出，罗马人的造船技艺是从希腊人和埃及人那里学来的。

而非题干描述的传授给希腊人和埃及人，因此答案为 FALSE.
2. 定位第2段：they were fixed using a method called mortise and tenon, whereby one plank locked into another without the need for stitching. 原文中确实提到使用 mortise and tenon 来固定木板，但并没有说这是否需要skilled craftsmen，因此判断答案为
NOT GIVEN。

同学们在做题的时候切不可过度推理，觉得既然榫卯是门技术，那肯定就需要相应的skilled craftsmen，一切以原文给的信息为准。

3. 定位第2段：Mediterranean shipbuilders shifted to another shipbuilding method, still in use today, which consisted of building the frame first and then proceeding with the hull and the other components of the ship. 从第2段可以看出，后来的造船方法是先建框架，然后是船体和船只的其他部分。

题干描述的还是之前的造船方法，因此判断为 FALSE.
4. 定位第3段：Rome' s navy became the largest and most powerful in the Mediterranean, and the romans had control over what they therefore called Mare Nostrum meaning 'our sea'. 这道题只是将原文中的 control 替换为 dominated，然后打乱句子顺序而已，很容易判断为 TRUE.
5. 定位第4段：rowers were not slaves but mostly Roman citizens enrolled in the military. 第4段最后提到，“大多数划桨者不是奴隶，而是加入军队的罗马公民”。

题干是把 enrolled in 改成了from，其他都是原词，由此判断答案为 TRUE.
6. 定位第3段：Warships were built to be lightweight and very speedy. 根据 warship 以及 speedy 和 quickly 的替换定位到第3段，由并列关系确定 lightweight 就是答案。

7. 定位第3段：They had a bronze battering. 从题干可以推断空上填的应该是某种材料，由此锁定 bronze 是答案。

8. 根据trireme 定位到第4段这句话：The 'trireme' was the dominant warship from the 7th to 4th century BCE. It had rowers in the top middle and lower levels. 空格前词three 对应top, middle 和 rower，由修饰关系确定答案为 levels.
9. 定位第5段：They had a wider hull, double planking and a solid interior for added stability. Unlike warships, their V-shaped hull was deep underwater. 这道题有两种做法，一种是根据broad
与wider 的同义替换，确定hull，另一种是根据后面far below the surface of the sea 与 deep underwater 的替换，同样可以确定 hull.
10. 定位第5段：They had from one to three masts with large square sails and a small triangular sail at the bow. 从题干可以看出，空上要填船帆的形状，由此判定 triangular 是答案。

11. 定位第5段：In order to assist them, music would be played on an instrument, and oars would then keep time with this. 这道题因为没有明确的定位词，要稍微难一点。

不过通过on merchant ships and warships 我们可以推测出，接下来要填的是战舰和商船的共同点，由此确定是在第5段的最后。

played 与 used 替换，根据修饰关系确定答案为 music.
12. 定位第6段：agricultural products (e.g. grain from Egypts Nile valley)这道题属于送分题。

根据 agricultural products 定位到第六段，由 such as 替换 e.g. 确定答案为 grain.
13. 定位第6段：Large merchant ships would approach the destination port and, just like today, be intercepted by a number of towboats that would drag them to the quay. 顺着 two main ports 在原文中的对应往下看，根据 pull 与 drag 的同义替换定位到这句话，由主被动变换确定 towboats 为正确答案。
