5. 题目解析

questions 1-7 段落选标题

List of Headings

I The search for the reasons for an increase in population

II Industrialization and the fear of unemployment

III The development of cities in Japan

IV The time and place of the Industrial Revolution

V The cases of Holland, France and China

VI Changes in drinking habits in Britain

VII Two keys to Britain’s industrial revolution

VIII Conditions required for industrialization

IX Comparisons with Japan lead to the answer

1 Paragraph A: 答案为IV, 工业革命的时间和地点。根据第一段“Why did this particular Big Bang-the world-changing birth of industry-happen in Britain? And why did it strike at the end of the 18th century?意思为：为何在英国出现？为何在18世纪出现？

2 Paragraph B: 答案为VIII, 工业革命所需要的条件。根据第二段“For industry to take off, there needs to be the technology and power to drive factories, large urban populations to provide cheap labor, easy transport to move goods around, and affluent middle-class willing to buy mass-produced objects, a market-driven economy and a political system that allows this to happen.”意思为：技术，人口，交通，富裕的中产阶级，市场经济和政治体制会有助于工业革命的出现。

3 Paragraph C：答案为VII, 英国工业革命的两个关键。根据第三段“The missing factors, he proposes, are to be found in almost every kitchen cupboard, Tea and beer, two of the nation’s favorite drinks, fuelled the revolution.”意思为：厨房柜橱里的茶和啤酒加速了革命的出现。

4 Paragraph D: 答案为I, 人口增加原因的探寻。根据第四段“Between about 1650 and 1740, the population in Britain was static. But then there was a burst in population growth. Macfarlane says: ‘The infant mortality rate halved in the space of 20 years, and this happened in both rural areas and cities, and across all classes. People suggested four possible causes.”意思为：1650和1740年之间人口基本没变，然后出现大的变化。人们觉得有四种原因。

5 Paragraph E：答案为VI, 英国喝酒习惯的变化。根据第五段“We drank bear. For a long time, the English were protected by the strong antibacterial agent in hops, which were added to help preserve the beer. But in the late 17th century a tax was introduced on malt, the basic ingredient of beer. The poor turned to water and gin and in the 1720s the mortality rate began to rise again.”意思为：之前和啤酒是因为酒中放了抗菌的药剂，但是后来对麦芽征税，所以人们改喝水和杜松子酒。

6 Paragraph F: 答案为IX, 与日本比较后得出的结论。根据第六段“Macfarlane looked to Japan, which was also developing large cities about the same time, and also had no sanitation. Water-borne diseases had a much looser grip on the Japanese population than those in Britain.”意思为：和同时在发展大城市的日本相比，英国人得病的情况要比日本严重。

7 Paragraph G: 答案为II, 工业化和失业的恐惧。根据第七段“Macfarlane notes that even though 17th century Japan had large cities, high literacy rates, even a futures market, it had turned its back on the essence of any work-based revolution by giving up labor-saving devices such as animals, afraid that they would put people out of work.”意思为：即使日本在17世纪出现的城市发展，文化程度高，良好发展的期货市场，仍旧恐惧人们会失业的问题。

questions 8-13 判断题

8 China’s transport system was not suitable for industry in the 18th century.

9 Tea and beer both helped to prevent dysentery in Britain.

10 Roy Porter disagrees with Professor Macfarlane’s findings.

11 After 1740, there was a reduction in population in Britain.

12 People in Britain used to make beer at home.

13 The tax on malt indirectly caused a rise in the death rate.

8 通过in the 18th century和China定位到第二段倒数第二句。After all, Holland had everything except coal, while China also had many of these factors.荷兰除了没有煤炭其它都有，中国也有这些因素中的很多。文中并没有提到中国的交通系统在18世纪不适合工业发展。所以答案为NOT GIVEN

9 通过Tea and beer还有dysentery定位到第三段第二句。Allowed urban communities to flourish at close quarters without succumbing to water-borne diseases such as dysentery. 茶叶和啤酒可以帮助战胜痢疾这样的疾病。这里的succumb意思为屈从，所以通过上下文得知可以预防痢疾。故答案为TRUE.

10 通过Roy Porter和findings定位到第三段最后一句。Macfarlane’s case has been strengthened by support from notable quarters-Roy Porter, the distinguished medical historian, recently wrote a favorable appraisal of his research. 通过“case has been strengthened by support和a favorable appraisal of his research”得知并非disagree, 所以答案为FALSE.

11 结合1740和reduction定位到文章第四段第三局。“Between about 1650 and 1740, the population in Britain was static. But then there was a burst in population growth.”通过分析得知reduction与a burst in population growth直接矛盾，所以答案为FALSE.

12 通过used to make beer at home定位到文章第五段倒数后四句。We drank bear. For

a long time, the English were protected by the strong antibacterial agent in hops, which were added to help preserve the beer. But in the late 17th century a tax was introduced on malt, the basic ingredient of beer. The poor turned to water and gin and in the 1720s the mortality rate began to rise again.”通过分析得知文章没有提及过去在家里制作啤酒，所以答案为NOT GIVEN.

13 通过malt定位到原文第五段倒数“But in the late 17th century a tax was introduced

on malt, the basic ingredient of beer. The poor turned to water and gin and in the 1720s the mortality rate began to rise again.”通过分析得知mortality rate began to rise again与a rise in the death rate表达一致，故答案为TRUE.

Questions 27-31 summary

People go to art museums because they accept the value of seeing an original work of art. But they do not go to museums to read original manuscripts of novels. Perhaps because the avalability of novels has depended on 27_______for so long, and also because with novels, the 28 _______ are the most important thing.

However, in historical times artists such as Leonardo were happy to instruct 29________ to produce copies of their work and these days new methods of reproduction allow excellent duplication of surface relief features as well as colour and

30_______.

It is regrettable that musenms still promote the superiority of original works of art, since this may not be interested of the 31_______.

A institution

B mass production

E paints

F artist

G size

H underlying ideas

28.H，第二段倒数第六行，with novels, the readers attend mainly to the meaning of words.人们关注的是小说背后的文字。Words改为了ideas。

29.L，artist定位到了第三段的第五行，考官把后面的apprentices该成了assistants.

30.G,此题和29题中间的标点符号是逗号，一般是在同一个段落。在第三段的倒数第三行，original scale是原始尺寸，该成了size.

31.D,在第六行的开头说one limitation is related to the way the museum presents its exhibits.局限性是是他的展出。

32.The writer mentions london’s National Gallery to illustrate

A The undersirable cost to a nation of maintaining a huge collection of art

C The negative effect a museum can have on visitors’ opinions of themselves

35.The writer says that unlike other forms of art, a painting does not

A involve direct contact with an audience

33.D，在第七段的倒数第六行，nothing the viewer thinks about the work is going to alter that value.说明观众的观点是不重要的。

34.A，在第八段的第二行，diverse对应的是variety,

35.D, 在第九段的倒数第六行，a picture has no clear place at which to start viewing, or at which to finish. Clear对应的是选项的specific,start对应的是beginning，finish 对应的是end.
