　　段落信息配对题

　　Questions 14-19

　　Reading Passage 2 has eight sections, A-H.

　　Which section contains the following information?

　　Write the correct letter, A-H, in boxes 14-19 on your answer sheet.

　　这道题没有NB，所以段落不会重复选。

　　Q14

　　an explanation for weapons being left behind in the mountains

　　分析

　　题干中可以划关键词的有weapons和mountains。既然weapon跟多选题中的hunters相关的，所以我们可以优先考虑从多选题相关的段落附近找没有用过的句子。

　　定位

　　D At the edges of the contracting ice patches, archaeologists found more than 2,000 artefacts, which formed a material record that ran from 4,000 BCE to the beginnings of the Renaissance in the 14th century. Many of the artefacts are associated with hunting. Hunters would have easily misplaced arrows and they often discarded broken bows rather than take them all the way home. Other items could have been used by hunters traversing the high mountain passes of Oppland: all-purpose items like tools, skis, and horse tack.

　　答案

　　E,F和G段出现了多选题的定位，所以我们看D段和H段。一般最后是对整篇文章的总结和对未来研究的展望，所以不太可能解释某个现象。这么一来，D段的可能性更大一些。

　　上文第三句出现了hunters， 这句中的arrows和broken bows对应题干中的weapons,这句中的misplaced 【放错】和discard【抛弃】对应题干中的left behind【留下】，这句话本身是一个解释，所以这道题选D。

　　Q15

　　a reference to the physical difficulties involved in an archaeological expedition

　　分析

　　题干中可以划关键词的有physical difficulties和archaeological expedition。文章的后几段在讲述考古团队的发现和他们的推测，所以困难更有可能是在前期进行调查时候碰到的。physical difficulties【物理的/物体的/身体的困难】在这里指的应该是自然环境，如大山，悬崖这种阻碍他们进行调查的物体的困难。

　　定位

　　C Over a nine-year period, a team of archaeologists, which included Lars Pilo of Oppland County Council, Norway, and James Barrett of the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, surveyed patches of ice in Oppland, an area of south-central Norway that is home to some of the country’s highest mountains. Reindeer once congregated on these icy patches in the later summer months to escape biting insects, and from the late Stone Age**, hunters followed. In addition, trade routes threaded through the mountain passes of Oppland, linking settlements in Norway to the rest of Europe.

　　The slow but steady movement of glaciers tends to destroy anything at their bases, so the team focused on stationary patches of ice, mostly above 1,400 metres. That ice is found amid fields of frost-weathered boulders, fallen rocks, and exposed bedrock that for nine months of the year is buried beneath snow.

　　‘Fieldwork is hard work - hiking with all our equipment, often camping on permafrost -but very rewarding. You’re rescuing the archaeology, bringing the melting ice to wider attention, discovering a unique environmental history and really connecting with the natural environment,’says Barrett.

　　答案

　　这段太长了，所以我们应该看这三小段的第 一句和最后一句确定哪一段开始吐槽。基于人性的特点，他们应该是先说怎么怎么成功，再说我也不是随便成功的，过程有多么困难云云。至少我们认识的商业大佬都是这么灌心灵鸡汤的...

　　果不其然，第三小段的第 一句出现了“我命苦”。这句中的field work is hard有一个破折号，意味着紧跟其后的内容是详细描述他们到底遇到了什么样的困难。破折号后边的hiking with all our equipment, often camping on permafrost【徒步带着设备，经常在per+ma+frost[霜]上驻扎】应该对应的是题干中的physical difficulties，所以这里又打了布哥的大饼脸，他讲的就是身体或者体力上的困难，而不是我刚分析的自然环境导致的困难。题干中的archaeological expedition在这段第 一句就提了，所以这道题答案是C。

　　Q16

　　an explanation of why less food may have been available

　　分析

　　题干中可以划关键词的有food。我们做的多选题出现过food相关的内容，所以优先考虑的是跟多选题相关，尚未选过的段落去定位。而且这道题讲的是解释某个现象，所以应该是从讲述调查结果的那几段里找。

　　定位

　　F What was surprising, according to Barrett, was the timing of these periods. Oppland’s mountains present daunting terrain and in periods of extreme cold, glaciers could block the higher mountain passes and make travel in the upper reaches of the mountains extremely difficult. Archaeologists assumed people would stick to lower elevations during a time like the Late Antique Little Ice Age, a short period of deeper-than-usual cold from about 536-600 CE. But it turned out that hunters kept regularly venturing into the mountains even when the climate turned cold, based on the amount of stuff they had apparently dropped there.

　　‘Remarkably, though, the finds from the ice may have continued through this period, perhaps suggesting that the importance of mountain hunting increased to supplement failing agricultural harvests in times of low temperatures,’says Barrett. A colder turn in the Scandinavian climate would likely have meant widespread crop failures, so more people would have depended on hunting to make up for those losses.

　　答案

　　这段我们只看两小段的第 一句和最后一句即可。第二小段的第 一句中出现的ailing agricultural harvests对应题干中的less food may have been available，下一句中的A colder turn in the Scandinavian climate would likely have meant widespread crop failures对应题干中的explanation,所以这段选F。

　　Q17

　　a reference to the possibility of future archaeological discoveries

　　分析

　　题干可以划关键词的有possibility of future，看到将来和可能性相关的内容我们一般去最后一段找。possibility在原文中可能会对应might/probably等表示可能性的词。

　　定位

　　H Norway’s mountains are probably still hiding a lot of history - and prehistory - in remote ice patches. When Barrett’s team looked at the dates for their sample of 153 artefacts, they noticed a gap with almost no artefacts from about 3,800 to 2,200 BCE. In fact, archaeological finds from that period are rare all over Norway. The researchers say that could be because many of those artefacts have already disintegrated or are still frozen in the ice. That means archaeologists could be extracting some of those artefacts from retreating ice in years to come.

　　答案

　　上文最后一句中的could be对应题干中的possibility,最后一句中的in years to come【在即将到来的岁月】对应题干中的future，最后一句中的extracting some of those artefacts【提取一些那一类的物品】，所以这道题选H。

　　Q18

　　examples of items that would have been traded

　　分析

　　题干中可以划关键词的有items和traded。这道题讲的是贸易，所以可能跟多选题中的Viking Age相关，我们可以在多选题出现的段落以及附近的段落定位。

　　定位

　　G Many of the artefacts Barrett’s team recovered date from the beginning of the Viking Age, the 700s through to the 900s CE. Trade networks connecting Scandinavia with Europe and the Middle East were expanding around this time. Although we usually think of ships when we think of Scandinavian expansion, these recent discoveries show that plenty of goods travelled on overland routes, like the mountain passes of Oppland. And growing Norwegian towns, along with export markets, would have created a booming demand for hides to fight off the cold, as well as antlers to make useful things like combs. Business must have been good for hunters.

　　答案

　　上文第 一句出现了Viking Age, 第二句出现了trade networks，所以在这段找出进行交易的物品即可。上文最后一句booming demand for hides【兽皮】,as well as antlers 【鹿角】to make useful things like combs中hides和antlers可以对应题干中的items，这句中的booming demand，和下一句中的business可以对应题干中的traded，所以这道题选G。

　　Q19

　　a reference to the pressure archaeologists are under to work quickly

　　分析

　　题干中可以划关键词的有pressure和work quickly。这个是对工作的要求，所以应该是说调查结果之前的内容，可以去前几段从没选过的段落开始定位，尤其要注意跟quickly 对应的速度或时间线索。

　　定位

　　夏日热烈到来，见证了我们的成长与告别，将所有纯粹的快乐与悲伤承载进枝繁叶茂的绿色，让我们一起走进雁塔高校，去寻觅这抹绿，找寻那关于青春与夏日的记忆碎片吧！

　　B Organic materials like textiles and hides are relatively rare finds at archaeological sites. This is because unless they’re protected from the microorganisms that cause decay, they tend not to last long. Extreme cold is one reliable way to keep artefacts relatively fresh for a few thousand years, but once thawed out, these materials experience degradation relatively swiftly.

　　With climate change shrinking ice cover around the world, glacial archaeologists need to race the clock to find newly revealed artefacts, preserve them, and study them. If something fragile dries and is windblown it might very soon be lost to science, or an arrow might be exposed and then covered again by the next snow and remain well-preserved. The unpredictability means that glacial archaeologists have to be systematic in their approach to fieldwork.

　　答案

　　上文第二小段第 一句中出现了archaeologists need to race the clock【与时间竞赛】对应题干中的work quickly，这句中的With climate change shrinking ice cover around the world【随着气候变化缩小全世界的冰雪覆盖面积】对应题干中的the pressure，所以这道题选B。
