Q23-24

Which TWOof the following statements does the writer make about the discoveries of

Barrett’s team?

AArtefacts found in the higher mountain passes were limited to skiing equipment.

BHunters went into the mountains even during periods of extreme cold.

CThe number of artefacts from certain time periods was relatively low.

DRadiocarbon dating of artefacts produced some unreliable results.

EMore artefacts were found in Oppland than at any other mountain site.

分析

题干中可以划定位词的有discoveries of Barrett’s team。当考察某个发现的时候，对应的内容可能以两种形式出现：

a.   段落的开头讲述实验或者调查，段落结尾讲述发现。

b.   前一段讲述实验或调查，下一段讲述发现。

我们先找到定位词所在的段落以后再确定这道题属于上述哪种情况。

接下来我们分析选项：

A Artefacts found in the higher mountain passes were limited to skiing equipment.

分析：该选项可以划关键词的有higher mountain passes和skiing equipment。

B Hunters went into the mountains even during periods of extreme cold.

分析：该选项可以划关键词的有hunters和extreme cold。

C The number of artefacts from certain time periods was relatively low.

分析：该选项可以划关键词的有the number, certain period (在原文中对应的具体的时期)和low。

D Radiocarbon dating of artefacts produced some unreliable results.

分析：该选项可以划关键词的有Radiocarbon dating和unreliable results。

E More artefacts were found in Oppland than at any other mountain site.

分析：该选项可以划关键词的有Oppland 和other mountains，这里有个比较结构，需要注意。

定位

E Barrett’s team radiocarbon-dated 153 of the artefacts and compared those dates to the timing of major environmental changes in the region - such as periods of cooling or warming —and major social and economic shifts - such as the growth of farming settlements and the spread of international trade networks leading up to the Viking Age. They found that some periods had produced lots of artefacts, which indicates that people had been pretty active in the mountains during those times. But there were few or no signs of activity during other periods.

答案

这段倒数第二句出现了They found，所以后边的内容很有可能对应正确答案。倒数第二句和最后一句讲述的some periods, lots of artefacts和other periods, few or no signs。所以这两句讲述的是不同period内的artefacts的不同数量，我们带着这个内容去看选项，满足要求的有：

C The number of artefacts from certain time periods was relatively low.

这个选项中的number of artefacts...was relatively low原文对应最后一句中的there were few or no signs of，这个选项中的certain times of periods对应原文最后一句中的during other periods，所以这个选项是TRUE。

既然这段的内容不够用，我们只能接着往后看，找出另一正确选项对应的信息。

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.

上文第 一小段最后一句开头的But it turned out【但是结果发现...】,符合题目问的这个团队的发现，所以后边的内容很有可能对应正确选项。原文这句中出现了hunter，venturing into mountains，climate turned cold几个词和短语可以对应的选项有：

B Hunters went into the mountains even during periods of extreme cold.

这个选项中的hunters在原文原词重现，这个选项中的went into 对应原文中的venturing into 【冒险进入】，这个选项中的periods of extreme cold对应原文中的the climate turned cold。所以这个选项是TRUE。

Q25- 26

Which TWOof the following statements does the writer make about the Viking Age?

AHunters at this time benefited from an increased demand for goods.

BThe beginning of the period saw the greatest growth in the wealth of Vikings.

CVikings did not rely on ships alone to transport goods.

DNorwegian towns at this time attracted traders from around the world.

EVikings were primarily interested in their trading links with the Middle East.

分析

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！

题干中可以划定位词的有Viking Age。这道题问的是作者对这个主题的说法。这种题目不太好定位出题句，所以大多时候我们可能要看对应的整个段落。

现在我们分析选项：

A Hunters at this time benefited from an increased demand for goods.

分析：该选项可以划关键词的有hunters和increased demand for goods。这个选项出现了benefited【受益】，所以原文中需要对应正面的信息。

B The beginning of the period saw the greatest growth in the wealth of Vikings.

分析：该选项可以划关键词的有beginning, greatest growth和wealth。

C Vikings did not rely on ships alone to transport goods.

分析：该选项可以划关键词的有ships和goods。选项中的not rely on...alone其实是一个隐含的并列结构。也就是说他们除了A，还依赖于B（和C）。

D Norwegian towns at this time attracted traders from around the world.

分析：该选项可以划关键词的有Norwegian towns和traders。

E Vikings were primarily interested in their trading links with the Middle East.

分析：该选项可以划关键词的有trading links和Middle East。

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

第 一句出现了题干中的定位词Viking Age， 这一句是对这个时期的定义，所以我们从第二句开始重点看即可。第二句出现了trade networks, Scandinavia, Europe和Middle East。跟这一句相关的选项有：

E Vikings were primarily interested in their trading links with the Middle East.

这个选项中的trading links对应原文第二句中的trade networks， 这个选项中的Middle East 也出现了。但是这个选项中的were primarily interested in 【主要对...感兴趣】（这是一个隐含的比较，意思是他们对这个比对别的更感兴趣）在第二句中没有对应的信息，所以这个选项是NOT GIVEN，我们需要接着往后看。

第三句中出现了ships，plenty of goods 和overland routes，相关的选项有：

C Vikings did not rely on ships alone to transport goods.

这个选项中的did not rely on ships alone对应第三句中的ships和overland routes，选项中的to transport goods对应原文中的plenty of goods travelled on，所以这个选项是TRUE。

第四句中出现了Norwegian towns，export markets 和cold，相关的选项有：

D Norwegian towns at this time attracted traders from around the world.

很明显，这句中的traders from around the world与原文中的along with export markets对应会有些牵强，因为export和around the world不一定划等号，所以这个选项是NOT GIVEN。注意，多选题的改写可能不那么严谨，意思不那么贴近，所以如果找不到别的对应的选项，只能把这样牵强的选项选为答案。

最后一句中出现了business和hunters，相关的选项有：

A Hunters at this time benefited from an increased demand for goods.

这个选项中的benefited from对应最后一句中的must have been good for，increased demand在前一句提到过，所以这个选项TRUE。
