《雅思阅读真经》难题解析Enigma Decryptions 难题解析Multiple Choice QuestionsExercise 1：50 Years of British Popular CultureQ7：Presently the most warmly embraced radio station in Britain is BBC Radio 2 because it caters to the general public’s D. nostalgia for the music dominated by the Beatles.问题：Why can't I choose B. nostalgia for the popular music since Queen’s ascension of the throne? As the Queen has been ruling for 50 years, and the text says“nostalgia for the 'pop' music of the last 50 years.”解答：全文最后一句，“怀旧歌曲”指甲壳虫乐队的歌曲，故选D。

B选项太泛，D选项明确具体。

SummaryExercise 2：VolcanoQ1：答案R：the magma. 干扰选项为B：magma and gases。

原文中magma and the dissolved gases it contains are discharged. “岩浆和岩浆中溶解的气体流出”。

注意动词是“are”；题目中动词为“is”。

应填“the magma”, 指溶有气体的岩浆。

True/False/Not givenExercise 1：Morse CodeQ3：Too many separated wires of the telegraph prototype made it unfeasible.问题：为什么不是选NG而是选T呢？答案在文章哪里定位啊？解答：文章第3段的倒数第一句和第二句。

题干表达是这两句的总结改写。

Exercise 2：Keys to CosmologyQ2：In cosmic history,radiation dominated universe before matter did so.问题：为什么是选YES，好象在文章里找不到。

解答：原文第4和第5自然段描述了过程先后的时间顺序。

Q4：In cosmologists' debates, the big bang and inflation theories defeated their alternatives such as the steady state theory.问题：原文Cosmologists have settled the disputes that once animated their field, such as the old debates between the big bang theory and the steady state theory andbetween inflation and its alternatives. Noting in science is absolutely certain, butresearchers now feel that their time is best spent on deeper questions, beginningwith the cause of the cosmic acceleration. 我看到关于the big bang and inflationtheories and the steady state theory的只有这一段，可是没有表明他们Q4啊，为什么Q4选TURE,而不是NOT GIVEN呢？解答：文章说科学家已经解决了这些争论（have settled the disputes）——要么是同意了老观点，要么是同意了新观点。

该段最后又说科学家已经把注意力放到了寻找the causeof cosmic acceleration（新观点）上了。

那么理解起来不就是新的观点被科学家们认同了吗？同时请注意文中的两个并列结构：the old debates between the big bangtheory and the steady state theory and between inflation and its alternatives，下划线为新观点。

该题考段内上下文联合理解。

Q5：Cosmologists’ initial responses to the revolutionary discoveries were always conservative.问题：文章用词是fairly题目中是always．为什么不是ＮＯ而是ＮＧ呢？如果文章中用词是often，但是题目中sometimes是Ｆ（见Morse Code Q6），两个有什么区别吗？解答：fairly是“相当地”的意思，表达程度；always是“经常”的意思，表频率；所以是NG。

而often和sometimes都是表频率，可以比较，而且不同。

Q6：The law of gravity works in entirely distinct manners on small and gigantic scale.问题：可以在文章倒数第二段最后一句找到定位，可是文章中提到的gigantic和题目是一样的，至于题目中的small 文章是没有的．而不知道的文章中的humble是不是和small同一个意思，如果是，应该选Ｔ，如果不是应该是Ｎ，怎么会是ＮＧ呢？解答：humble和small是同一个意思，但题目中是entirely，文中是maybe，题目中可能性缩小，故选NG。

Exercise 3：No free LunchQ1：According to JAMA, each physician can obtain $8,000 to $ 13,000 per year from pharmaceutical industry’s drug promotion.问题：为什么不是TRUE。

文中说制药厂在每个医生身上花了这么多钱为什么就不能反过来说这些医生得到这多钱呢？解答：这笔费用是制药厂的促销费用，并不一定是医生实际得到的。

Q3：The more expensive the drug, the better its healing effect. 问题： 为什么选F ？我们定位在第六段：yet the more expensive drugs, which are heavilymarketed to doctors, are far more frequently prescribed.没有提到药的疗效，也没有直接驳斥原文啊？ 解答： 也是在第6段，在你定位那句话的前面几句都在讲此事。

甚至举例说一种2块钱一粒的药疗效没有价格只有几分钱的另一种药好。

Q6： Goodman has never received any perk from drug salesmen.问题： 为什么选F 啊？解答：第3段首句。

Exercise 4： London SmogQ1： In 1952, London was the most densely populated city in the world.问题： 我怎么也找不到文章中的定位。

解答： 文中第2段，more people lived closer together in London … than in any other moderncity …Q2 &Q3 要理解原文“Ships often returned from the less-populated northern British Isles empty, except for the crew. To weather the rough seas around the coast, marinersfilled their holds with what became known as sea-coale, carbonem marus.” 回航的船为了抵御海岸边的风浪，水手们在货舱内装满了一种煤。

让船更重，而稳定。

Q5： Less than 3,000 people would die within one week in 1952-1953 if it were not for thecoal smoke.问题： 为什么不是TRUE ？第5段不是说的很清楚这是因为“coal smoke"造成的？解答： 题目说“如果没有煤烟，在那一周死亡的人数会少于3000”；原文说“一周内死的人比正常情况下多出3000多”，正常一周的死亡人数原文没提。

Q8： Smoking, as well as polluted air, can result in lung cancer and other ailments.问题： 文中对应的是倒数第3段最后一句，为什么不是NG ？解答：文章最后一段说吸烟和喝酒会引起这个病，但这些嗜好却不是引起城区这些病一直维持的主要原因，而开头说的是环境对身体的影响，于是可知---环境也会导致这样的病。

Exercise 5：Snake VenomQ2： The king cobra can bite itself with fangs and commit suicide.问题： 文中说Bite the floor of its mouth 跟题目中的Bite itself 不是一个意思吗？我选了TRUE 。

解答： 第3段，“They have to be short. If they WERE longer, the king MIGHT bite … ”注意文中虚拟（were longer ），与众所周知的事实（They have to be short ）相反。

故选NO。

Exercise 6：Bullying at School：Tackling the ProblemQ4：The problem is definitely more serious than what these surveys’ figures have shown.问题：为什么不是TRUE？第三段中“these figures probably underestimate the problem”解答：题目是definitely，原文是probably。
