2018年2月24日雅思阅读考情回顾

雅思考试机经2018年2月24日雅思阅读考情回顾一、考试时间：2018年2月24日（周六）二、考试概述：进入到2018年以来，雅思阅读的题库明显出现了更新，像2017年那样几乎一整年没有出现任何新题的情况已经不复存在。本次考试为新年后第一场，考生众多，但由于没有经典题支撑，回忆依然非常零散。第一篇Nazcaline，纳斯卡线条，新题，写作类型非常相像于剑九第一套第一篇WilliamPerkins。第二篇Lifeintheforest，介绍森林里的生活，依然是新题。第三篇TheSignificantRoleofMotherTongueinEducation是2016年8月4日和2012年5月26日的旧题，介绍的是母语在教育中的作用。三、文章简介Passage1:Nazcaline，纳斯卡线条Passage2:Lifeintheforest，森林里的生活Passage3:TheSignificantRoleofMotherTongueinEducation，母语在教育中的作用四、篇章分析：Passage1：文章内容文章介绍了世界各地的奇怪的图形的来历和区别题型分布与答案参考判断题6题，填空题7题相关拓展NazcaLinesThelinesaredrawningeometricpatternsanddistinctanimalshapes.AsaplanesoarsoverthehighdesertofsouthernPeru,thedullpalesamenessoftherocksandsandorganizeandchangeform.Distinctwhitelinesgraduallyevolvefromtanandrust-red.Stripsofwhitecrisscrossadesertsodrythatitrainslessthananincheveryyear.Thelandscapechangesaslinestakeshapetoformsimplegeometricdesigns:trapezoids,straightlines,rectangles,triangles,andswirls.Someoftheswirlsandzigzagsstarttoformmoredistinctshapes:ahummingbird,aspider,amonkey.ThesearetherenownedNascalines—subjectofmysteryforover80years.Howweretheyformed?Whatpurposecouldtheyhaveserved?雅思考试机经Werealiensinvolved?ThelinesarefoundinaregionofPerujustover200milessoutheastofLima,nearthemoderntownofNasca.Intotal,thereareover800straightlines,300geometricfiguresand70animalandplantdesigns,alsocalledbiomorphs.Someofthestraightlinesrunupto30miles,whilethebiomorphsrangefrom50to1200feetinlength(aslargeastheEmpireStateBuilding).THELINESREVEALEDPeruvianarchaeologistToribioMejiaXesspewasthefirsttosystematicallystudythelinesin1926.However,sincethelinesarevirtuallyimpossibletoidentifyfromgroundlevel,theywereonlyfirstbroughttopublicawarenesswiththeadventofflight—bypilotsflyingcommercialplanesoverPeruinthe1930s.AmericanprofessorPaulKosokinvestigatedandfoundhimselfatthefootofalineonJune22,1941—justonedayafterthewintersolstice.Attheendofafulldaystudyingthelines,Kosoklookedupfromhisworktocatchthesunsetindirectalignmentwiththeline.Kosokcalledthe310squaremilestretchofhighdesert“thelargestastronomybookintheworld”.KosokwasfollowedbytheGermanMariaReiche,whobecameknownastheLadyoftheLines.Reichestudiedthelinesfor40yearsandfoughtunyieldinglyforhertheoriesonthelines’astronomicalandcalendricalpurpose(shereceivedaNationalGeographicgrantin1974forherwork).Reichebattledsingle-handedlytoprotectthesite;sheevenlivedinasmallhousenearthedesertsoshecouldpersonallyprotectthelinesfromrecklessvisitors.WHATARETHELINES?Thelinesareknownasgeoglyphs–drawingsonthegroundmadebyremovingrocksandearthtocreatea“negative”image.Therockswhichcoverthedeserthaveoxidizedandweatheredtoadeeprustcolor,andwhenthetop12-15inchesofrockisremoved,alight-colored,highcontrastingsandisexposed.Becausethere’ssolittlerain,windanderosion,theexposeddesignshavestayedlargelyintactfor500to2000years.ScientistsbelievethatthemajorityoflinesweremadebytheNasca雅思考试机经people,whoflourishedfromaroundA.D.1to700.Certainareasofthepampalooklikeawell-usedchalkboard,withlinesoverlappingotherlines,anddesignscutthroughwithstraightlinesofbothancientandmoremodernorigin.THETHEORIESTheKosok-Reicheastronomytheoriesheldtrueuntilthe1970swhenagroupofAmericanresearchersarrivedinPerutostudytheglyphs.Thisnewwaveofresearchstartedtopokeholesinthearcheo-astronomyviewofthelines(nottomentiontheradicaltheoriesinthe‘60srelatingtoaliensandancientastronauts).JohanReinhard,aNationalGeographicExplorer-in-Residence,broughtamultidisciplinaryapproachtotheanalysisofthelines:“Lookatthelargeecologicalsystem,what’saroundNasca,whereweretheNascapeoplelocated.”Inaregionthatreceivesonlyabout20minutesofrainperyear,waterwasclearlyanimportantfactor.Itseemslikelythatmostofthelinesdidnotpointatanythingonthegeographicalorcelestialhorizon,butratherledtoplaceswhereritualswereperformedtoobtainwaterandfertilityofcrops,wroteReinhardinhisbookTheNascaLines:ANewPerspectiveontheirOriginandMeanings.AnthonyAveni,aformerNationalGeographicgrantee,agrees,Ourdiscoveriesclearlyshowedthatthestraightlinesandtrapezoidsarerelatedtowater…butnotusedtofindwater,butratherusedinconnectionwithrituals.Thetrapezoidsarebigwidespaceswherepeoplecancomeinandout,saysAveni.Theritualswerelikelyinvolvedwiththeancientneedtopropitiateorpayadebttothegods…probablytopleadforwater.ReinhardpointsoutthatspiraldesignsandthemeshavealsobeenfoundatotherancientPeruviansites.AnimalsymbolismiscommonthroughouttheAndesandarefoundinthebiomorphsdrawnupontheNascaplain:spidersarebelievedtobeasignofrain,hummingbirdsareassociatedwithfertility,andmonkeysarefoundintheAmazon—anareawithanabundanceofwater.Nosingleevaluationprovesatheoryaboutthelines,butthecombinationofarcheology,ethnohistory,andanthropologybuildsasolid雅思考试机经case,saysReinhard.Addnewtechnologicalresearchtothemix,andthere’snodoubtthattheworld’sunderstandingoftheNascalineswillcontinuetoevolve.Passage2：文章内容文章介绍了森林中某个种族和村民的关系，提到了人口密度，两个种族之间的商品交换以及婚嫁。题型分布与答案参考LOH，填空题，配对题相关拓展“It’sajungleoutthere!”You’veprobablyheardthatphrasetimeandagain,butdidyoueverstopandponderthefactthat“There’saforestinhere?”Rightnow,youareprobablysittinginthemiddleof
