雅思阅读真题解析-剑16Test1Passage2-The Step Pyramid of Djoser多选题

Which TWO of the following points does the writer make about King Djoser?

A Initially he had to be persuaded to build in stone rather than clay.

B There is disagreement concerning the length of his reign.

C He failed to appreciate Imhotep’s part in the design of the Step Pyramid.

D A few of his possessions were still in his tomb when archaeologists found it.

E He criticised the design and construction of other pyramids in Egypt.

分析：

这道题可以划定位词的有king Djoser。这篇文章讲的是他建造的金字塔，所以文章应该是介绍这个国王，然后再详细介绍他建造金字塔的原因，过程和结构最后再给出这金字塔的意义等等信息--- 一般的文章都是这么展开的，所以这两道题的位置很有可能是前两段出现的。现在我们看选项：

A 关键词划stone和clay

B 关键词划length of reign 【在位的时间】若有时间，再看有没有disagreement

C 关键词划fail to appreciate【没有欣赏；没有get到设计师的点】和Imhotep

D 关键词划possessions【随身物品；财产；在这儿应该是陪葬的物品】和tomb，这里archaeologists可以划，但不要过度依赖，因为文章讲历史，所以考古学家出现地可能比较多.

E 关键词划design and construction和other pyramids（可能会出现具体的名字），再看有没有跟criticise对应的内容

看文章你会发现A段讲的是不同文明建造金字塔的事，那就不太可能牵涉到一个人。

定位

B Djoser was the first king of the Third Dynasty of Egypt and the first to build in stone. Prior to Djoser’s reign, tombs were rectangular monuments made of dried clay brick, which covered underground passages where the deceased person was buried. For reasons which remain unclear, Djoser’s main official, whose name was Imhotep, conceived of building a taller, more impressive tomb for his king by stacking stone slabs on top of one another, progressively making them smaller, to form the shape now known as the Step Pyramid. Djoser is thought to have reigned for 19 years, but some historians and scholars attribute a much longer time for his rule, owing to the number and size of the monuments he built. 

答案

这段的第 一句出现了stone，第二句出现了clay,这两句中没有提到A选项中的persuade【说服】对应的信息，所以A是NOT GIVEN。

下一句出现了C选项中的人名Imhotep，但没有出现failed to appreciate对应的否定词，这句就没有提到国王的看法，这个答案也是NOT GIVEN。

下一句出现了have reigned for 19 years, 对应B选项中的length of reign，后半句有but some historians and scholars attribute a much longer time对应disagreement。其实看到19years 后边出现but就可以预测，这个时间可能不是绝 对的，往后的内容可能会提出质疑。所以B选项的内容与原文一致，答案是TRUE。

看到这里，B段看完了，我们还少一个选项，这个时候要当心了，多选题可能会使坏。它可能接着在C段说，如果它不想说，那么剩下的内容可能会出现在每一段的第 一句，也有可能是跳过几段再说。我们通过看每一段的第 一句和最后一句可以定位到F段，这里第 一句提到了robbers 【胡八一】；最后一句提到了archaeologists who excavated【挖掘】这个内容跟D选项对应，这个定位就比较费劲了。

定位

FUnfortunately, all of the precautions and intricate design of the underground network did not prevent ancient robbers from finding a way in. Djoser’s grave goods, and even his body, were stolen at some point in the past and all archaeologists found were a small number of his valuables overlooked by the thieves. There was enough left throughout the pyramid and its complex, however, to astonish and amaze the archaeologists who excavated it.

答案

F段中的There was enough left【剩下了足够多】（这里的指的肯定是墓穴里的陪葬物品了，因为这段第 一句开始一直在说这个）对应a few of his possessions were still in his tomb, 注意， 这里的a few是一些，不是few【几乎没有】，所以原文与D选项的内容一致，我们上文说过，原文中的archaeologists who excavated it对应D选项中的when archaeologists found it，所以D选项中是TRUE。看完这两段后会发现没有提到Djoser批评了别的金字塔，可能这个人比较聪明—知道管好自己的事，或者这个内容可能在别的别的段里提到了，但我们已经找到了两个正确的选项B和D，那么E选项也没有必要再去别的段落里找了。多选题大多时候还是比较友好的，而且它改写不会单选那么难，所以要正确做好，争取全对。
