剑九阅读真题William Henry Perkin做题分析

剑九阅读真题William Henry Perkin做题分析

一篇雅思文章拿下来，我们可以先看文章，再看题目，也可以先看题目再看文章，这两种做题的顺序都各有利弊，孰好孰坏取决于每个人看文章做题的习惯。今天，我们借助一篇剑九阅读真题William Henry Perkin,向大家讲解一种新的做题方式——做题看文章交叉进行。一边做题一边看文章，做题看文章交叉进行，乍听之下也许大家会觉得很容易造成阅读混乱，但其实不然，这种做题方式不但省时省事，而且准确率也高。接下来我们一起来看看做题看文章交叉进行这种方法是如何运用在具体的文章中的。

在雅思阅读真题Test 1的reading passage 1 William Henry Perkin，运用做题看文章交叉进行，我们可以很快地把题目做出来，而且无需反复回原文查看。

好吧，我们一起开始做题，记住，且行且思，且看题目且看文章，且思考。

1 Michael Faraday was the first person to recognize Perkin’s ability as a student of chemistry.

第一道题目讲的是Michael Faraday是第一个赏识Perkin作为一个化学学生所具有的才能，我们猜测考点可能是the first person，立即阅读文章William Henry Perkin：The man who invented synthetic dyes。文章第一段William Henry Perkin was born on March 12, 1838, in London, England. As a boy, Perkin‟s curiosity prompted early interests in the art s, sciences, photography, and engineering. But it was a chance stumbling upon a run-down, yet functional, laboratory in his late grandfather‟s home that solidified the young man‟s enthusiasm for chemistry.大致讲了Perkin的幼年，没找到答案，继续看第二段As a student at the City of London School, Perkin became immersed in the study of chemistry. His talent and devotion to the subject were perceived by his teacher, Thomas Hall, who encouraged him to attend a series of lectures given by the eminent scientist Michael Faraday at the R oyal Institution. Those speeches fired the young chemist‟s enthusiasm further, and he later went on to attend the Royal College of Chemistry, which he succeeded in entering in 1853, at the age of 15.我们找到His talent and devotion to the subject were perceived by his teacher, Thomas Hall。Thomas Hall鼓励他参加了一系列皇家学院知名科学家Michael Faraday所做的讲座。由此我们知道Michael Faraday不是第一个赏识Perkin的人，在他之前还有Thomas Hall，题目到此我们可以判断为FALSE。

2 Michael Faraday suggested Perkin should enrol in the Royal College of Chemistry.

第二道题目讲的是Michael Faraday建议Perkin入学皇家化学学院。我们在做第一道题目时已经读到to attend a series of lectures given by the eminent scientist Michael Faraday at the Royal Institution. Those speeches fired the young chemist‟s enthusiasm further, and he later went on to attend the Royal College of Chemistry, which he succeeded in entering in 1853, at the age of 15.我们并没有从这段文章看到有关Michael Faraday建议Perkin入学皇家化学学院的信息，初步判断是NOT GIVEN，当文章看到最后我们也确实没看到任何相关信息。

3 Perkin employed August Wilhelm Hofmann as his assistant.

第三道题讲的是Perkin雇佣August Wilhelm Hofmann作为他的助手。我们继续阅读文章At the time of Perkin‟s enrolment, the Royal College of Chemistry was headed by the noted German chemist August Wilhelm Hofmann. Perkin‟s scientific gifts soon caught Hofmann‟s attention and, within two years, he became Hofmann‟s youngest assistant.文中讲到Perkin的科学天分很快引起了Hofmann的注意，不到两年后，他成了Hofmann最年轻的助手。谁是谁的助手，分清人物关系我们很快就知道答案是FALSE。

4 Perkin was still young when he made the discovery that made him rich and famous.

第四道题目讲的是当Perkin的发现使得他名利双收的时候他仍然很年轻。我们继续阅读Not long after that, Perkin made the scientific breakthrough that would bring him both fame and fortune. 那之后没多久，Perkin就做出了科学上的突破，而这一突破将会使他名利双收。Perkin这时候确实仍然很年轻。答案出来了，TRUE。

5The trees from which quinine is derived grow only in South America.

第五道题目讲的是提取出quinine的树仅生长在南美洲（quinine是奎宁，我们就算不知道quinine是什么，但至少知道是从树提取出来的一种东西）我们阅读文章At the time, quinine was the only viable medical treatment for malaria. The drug is derived from the bark of the cinchona tree, native to South America, and by 1856 demand for the drug was surpassing the available supply. Thus, when Hofmann made some passing comments about the desirability of a synthetic substitute for quinine, it was unsurprising that his star pupil was moved to take up the challenge.知道The drug is derived from the bark of the cinchona tree, native to South America, 这种药取自原产南美洲的金鸡纳树的树皮，是不是仅仅生长在南美洲文章也没有明确给出，初步判断是NOT GIVEN，看到文章后面也没有看到相关信息。
