Bernice 6月机经总结解析与7月预测

文章具题目：Fishbourne Roman Palace

6.19

本次考试出现了两旧一新，属于中等难度。第一篇文章的题材是文明发展史，是旧题，类似的剑桥真题是C9T4P1。第二篇文章是新题，题材是心理学，剑桥真题的C8T3P2题材和题型都与其相似，可供参考。第三篇论述艺术的评判标准，是2012年12月出现过的旧题。本次考试没有出现较难的自然科普类文章，因此阅读难度不大。另外，本次考试涉及的题型有：简答，判断(是非及对错)，填空(图表)，配对(人名理论配对及句子配对)，单选和多选。其中，具有顺序性且偏简单的判断和填空占了大比重，多选和配对都出现了两次，因此题型难度偏中等。

建议烤鸭们平时要多练习高频题型，对于6月底的烤鸭，建议多看些自然科普类文章，并多练习List of headings和段落信息配对题。

to revolve and it gave Hargreaves the idea that a whole line of

spindles could be worked off one wheel.

In 1764 Hargreaves built what became known as the Spinning-Jenny.

The machine used eight spindles onto which the thread was spun

from a corresponding set of rovings. By turning a single wheel, the

operator could now spin eight threads at once. Later, improvements

were made that enabled the number to be increased to eighty. The

thread that the machine produced was coarse and lacked strength,

making it suitable only for the filling of weft, the threads woven

across the warp.

Hargreaves did not apply for a patent for his Spinning Jenny until

1770 and therefore others copied his ideas without paying him any

money. It is estimated that by the time James Hargreaves died in

1778, over 20,000 Spinning-Jenny machines were being used in

Britain.

James Hargreaves was born near Blackburn in about 1720.

Hargreaves received no formal education and was unable to read or

write. He worked as a carpenter and weaver but had a strong interest

in engineering.

By the 1760s Hargreaves was living in the village of Stanhill and was

one of the many weavers who owned his own spinning wheel and

loom. It is claimed that one day his daughter Jenny accidentally

knocked over over the family spinning wheel. The spindle continued

to revolve and it gave Hargreaves the idea that a whole line of

spindles could be worked off one wheel.

In 1764 Hargreaves built what became known as the Spinning-Jenny.

The machine used eight spindles onto which the thread was spun

from a corresponding set of rovings. By turning a single wheel, the

operator could now spin eight threads at once. The thread that the

machine produced was coarse and lacked strength, making it suitable

only for the filling of weft, the threads woven across the warp.

Originally Hargreaves produced the machine for family use but when

he began to sell the machines, spinners from Lancashire, fearing the

possibility of cheaper competition, marched on his house and

destroyed his equipment. Hargreaves did not apply for a patent for his

Spinning Jenny until 1770 and therefore others copied his ideas

without paying him any money.

Hargreaves moved to Nottingham where he erected a small

spinning-mill. Others began to make improvements to the

Spinning-Jenny and the number of threads was increased from eight

to eighty. By the time James Hargreaves died in 1778, over 20,000

Spinning-Jenny machines were being used in Britain.
