Question 1
正确答案: II
题干关键词:exercise in people power
原文定位:A段第1句“In fact…The more democratic the process, the more public transport is favored.…”
解析:题干的意思是人民权力的成功使用,原文A段中的“The more democratic the process, the more public transport is favored”,程序越民主,更多的公共交通就越受欢迎,这就是指人民成功地行使了权力,所以选择ii。
Question 2
正确答案: VII
题干关键词:increase travelling time
原文定位:B段最后1句“However…make commuting times far higher”
解析:题干指旅途时间的增多,原文B段中首句提到通勤时间在过去至少六百年中都维持不变,但是接下来转折词However才是关键,后面引出...causing massive congestion problems which now make commuting times far higher, 其中commuting对应题干中的travelling,因此选择vii。
Question 3
正确答案: IV
题干关键词:higher incomes not more cars
原文定位:C段前两句“There is a widespread belief that … The example of European cities refutes that”
解析:题干指更高的收入不代表更多的汽车,原文C段中首句提到财富的增加鼓励人们生活到更远的、汽车是唯一的交通工具的地方,但第2句的refutes that表示否定了第1句的观点,因此只有iv符合。
Question 4
正确答案: I
题干关键词:avoid overcrowded centre
原文定位:D段最后1句“It found that pushing everyone into the city centre was not the best approach.Instead…”
解析:题干指避免过度拥挤的市中心,原文中instead是一个转折连接词,是解答这道题的关键词,前面一句说pushing everyone into the city centre was not the best approach,把大家挤在一个城市中心不是最好的解决办法,instead后面的说了解决的好办法。这两句都说明应该避免造成一个过度拥挤的市中心,因此,i符合。
Question 5
正确答案: III
题干关键词:working together
原文定位:E段第3句“The explanation… is valuable to place people working in related fields together”
解析:题干是一起在城市中工作的好处,原文第三句The explanation for this seems to be that it is valuable to place people working in related fields together.,强调了人们在相关的领域一起工作非常重要,所以,iii对应这个自然段内容。
Question 6
正确答案: FALSE
题干关键词:ISTP study
原文定位:第1段第2、3句“The study compared… thirty-seven cities around the world. ”
解题思路::原文提到The study compared the proportion of wealth poured into transport by thirty-seven cities around the world.,与题干表述的public and private systems in every city of the world.相互抵触,所以答案为FALSE。
Question 7
正确答案: TRUE
题干关键词: efficient improve the quality
原文定位: 第2段最后1句“...these more efficient cities…a better place to live”
解析:原文提到able to put the difference into attracting industry and jobs or creating a better place to live,创造出更好的居住环境,和题干的改善了居民的居住环境一致,所以答案为TRUE。
Question 8
正确答案: NOT GIVEN
题干关键词:inner-city tram network dangerous car drivers
原文定位:第3段第3句“Melbourne’s large tram network has made car use in the inner city much lower…”
解析:原文提到有轨电车系统使汽车的使用率降低了许多,但并未谈及对私家车驾驶者造成的危险,因此本题选择NOT GIVEN。
Question 9
正确答案: FALSE
题干关键词:Melbourne outer suburbs
原文定位:第3段最后1句“The explosion…preferences as to where they live”
解析:原文中The explosion…,说的是对近郊住所需求的爆炸式增长,说明了人们喜欢住在近郊,与题干的远郊不符合,所以选择FALSE。
Question 10
正确答案: TRUE
题干关键词: bicycle public transport
原文定位:第5段的“Bicycle use…reasonable but not special”
解析:原文提到were very efficient, even though their public transport systems were ‘reasonable but not special’,这边的reasonable but not special与题干的averagely good是同义表达,所以答案是TRUE。
Question 11
正确答案: F
题干关键词:Perth
原文定位:第2段第1句和第4句
解析:第二段第一句提到Perth有minimal public transport(最低限度的公共交通),即相当于题干中的limited public transport system(有限的公共交通系统),下面又提到Perth之外的一些城市是more efficient cities,和F题干的inefficient说法一直,所以正确答案为F。
Question 12
正确答案: D
题干关键词:Auckland
原文定位:第7段第2句
解析:原文提到 it would be hard for a city as hilly as Auckland to develop a really good rail network,即Auckland难以建立很好的轨道系统,因此正确答案是D。
Question 13
正确答案: C
题干关键词:Portland
原文定位:A段的倒数第3句“The rail proposal…”
解析:原文中提到轨道计划获胜,轨道运行良好,在接下来的日子里,急剧地改变了城市的自然,这与题干中的profitably moved from road to light rail transport system说法相符,所以正确答案是C。
