　　整体分析

　　文章有摘要填空题，图表题和判断题。我们就按照这个顺序做题就行。（一般填空题和图表题的顺序没有明确的先后顺序，两者谁更好定位，我们就先从那个题型开始做，这篇文章填空题更好定位，所以从填空题开始做。）

　　摘要填空题

　　Questions 1-5

　　Complete the notes below.

　　Choose ONE WORD ONLY from the passage for each answer.

　　Write your answers in boxes 1-5 on your answer sheet.

　　Q1

　　The importance of the huarango tree

　　- its roots can extend as far as 80 metres into the soil-can access 1................... deep below the surface.

　　分析

　　题目标题跟文章标题比较像，所以不划为定位词；题干可以划定位词的有roots, 80 meters，soil和surface。空格前面是can access【可以接近/获取】,空格后边是deep below the surface，所以空格写的是地下深层的东西，而且这个东西是这个树所需要的，很有可能是一种营养元素。

　　定位

　　1The south coast of Peru is a narrow, 2,000-kilometre-long strip of desert squeezed between the Andes and the Pacific Ocean. It is also one of the most fragile ecosystems on Earths. It hardly ever rains there, and the only year-round source of water is located tens of metres below the surface. This is why the huarango tree is so suited to life there: it has the longest roots of any tree in the world. They stretch down 50-80 metres and, as well as sucking up water for the tree, they bring it into the higher subsoil, creating a water source for other plant life.

　　答案

　　上文倒数第二句出现了定位词roots，上文最后一句出现了50-80meters,这句中的sucking up【吸取】对应题干中的can access，所以答案是water。如果不认识这个词，那么在这句中找树需要的东西即可，答案也能找到water。

　　Q2

　　- was a crucial part of local inhabitants’2 .............. a long time ago

　　分析

　　题干可以划定位词的有local inhabitants【当地居民】和a long time ago（在原文中可能会对应具体的时间）。空格前面是local inhabitants’，所以空格写跟这些人相关的名词。

　　定位

　　2 Dr David Beresford-Jones, archaeobotanist at Cambridge University, has been studying the role of the huarango tree in landscape change in the Lower lea Valley in southern Peru. He believes the huarango was key to the ancient people’s diet and, because it could reach deep water sources, it allowed local people to withstand years of drought when their other crops failed. But over the centuries huarango trees were gradually replaced with crops. Cutting down native woodland leads to erosion, as there is nothing to keep the soil in place. So when the huarangos go, the land turns into a desert. Nothing grows at all in the Lower lea Valley now.

　　答案

　　上文第二句出现了ancient people，这里的ancient【古老的】对应题干中的a long time ago，这里的people对应题干中的inhabitants，所以答案是紧跟其后的diet【饮食】。

　　Q3

　　- helped people to survive periods of 3 ................

　　分析

　　题干可以划定位词的有people，空格前面是periods of，所以后边加可以持续一段的时间的名词，题干中说的是helped people to survive，所以空格加的名词是一种艰难的时期。

So when the huarangos go, the land turns into a desert. Nothing grows at all in the Lower lea Valley now.

　　答案

　　上文第二句中的years of 对应题干中的periods of，所以答案是紧跟其后的drought【旱灾】。上文第二句中的allowed local people to withstand【使得当地人能忍受】对应题干中的helped people to survive。

　　Q4

　　- prevents 4 ....................... of the soil

　　分析

　　题干可以划定位词的有soil，空格前面是prevent，后边是of the soil，所以空格应该写跟soil相关的名词，既然空格前面是prevent，所以这个名词应该是负面的，如土地风化，侵蚀等。

　　答案

　　上文倒数第三句出现了定位词soil，这句中跟soil相关的负面的词是erosion【侵蚀】，这道题要么通过理解整句的意思，要么通过名词的筛选可以找出答案。这句中有woodland和erosion两个名词，woodland【树林】不是负面的词，所以答案只能是erosion。注意，答案不能写in place，因为这个词不是名词，它是一个副词短语，它也不是负面的词，还有答案只能写一个单词。

　　Q5

　　- prevents land from becoming a 5 ................

　　分析

　　题干可以划定位词的有land， 空格前面是a，所以后边加可数名词的单数形式，题干说的是prevent land from becoming，所以空格应该是负面的名词。

　　答案

　　上文倒数第二句出现了定位词land， 这句中除了land只有一个单数名词desert，所以答案是desert。
