Q6

Warships and merchant ships

Warships were designed so that they were 6.................and moved quickly.They often remained afloat after battles and were able to sail close to land as they lacked any additional weight.

分析

题目标题与文章标题不一样，所以可以划为定位词的有warships and merchant ships,land和additional weight。空格前面是they were，后边是moved quickly，所以空格应该是表示warships特征的词，所以更有可能是形容词，我们在原文中找出跟moved quickly并列的形容词即可。

定位

3 Warships were built to be lightweight and very speedy.They had to be able to sail near the coast,which is why they had no ballast or excess load and were built with a long,narrow hull...

答案

上文第一句中出现了定位词warships，这句中的very speedy对应题干中的moved quickly，所以跟这个词并列的形容词lightweight是这道题的答案。

Q7

A battering ram made of 7.................was included in the design for attacking and damaging the timber and oars of enemy ships.

分析

题干中可以划定位词的有a battering ram,timber and oars和enemy ships。空格前面是made of【由...做成的】，所以空格填写表示原材料的名词。

定位

3 Warships were built to be lightweight and very speedy.They had to be able to sail near the coast,which is why they had no ballast or excess load and were built with a long,narrow hull.They did not sink when damaged and often would lie crippled on the sea’s surface following naval battles.They had a bronze battering ram,which was used to pierce the timber hulls or break the oars of enemy vessels...

答案

上文最后一句出现的a bronze battering ram是题干中的定位词，was used to【被用来...】对应题干中的for attacking...一直到结尾的内容，都是表示用途。这样能写答案的只能是battering前面的bronze【青铜】。这样分析，就算不认识这个词也能做对题。但是要记住a watch made of gold【由黄金制作的手表】=a gold watch【金手表】这个结构。

Q8

Warships,such as the‘trireme’,had rowers on three different 8.................

分析

题干中可以划定位词的有‘trireme’，rowers和three。空格前面是three different，所以空格写可数名词的复数形式（因为它有三类）。这三类东西在原文中可能会对应并列。比如三种不同的狗在原文中对应的可能是哈士奇，泰迪和柯基。

定位

4There were many kinds of warship.The‘trireme’

was the dominant warship from the 7th to 4th century BCE.It had rowers in the top,middle and lower levels,and approximately 50 rowers in each bank...

答案

上文第一句中出现了定位词‘trireme’和rowers。这句中的并列top,middle and lower对应题干中的three different，所以答案是紧跟其后的levels。

Q9

Unlike warships,merchant ships had a broad 9.................that lay far below the surface of the sea.

分析

题干中可以划定位词的有merchant ships和surface of the sea。空格前面是a broad【一个宽的...】，所以这里应该是“一碗宽面”这种结构，空格写单数名词。

定位

5Merchant ships were built to transport lots of cargo over long distances and at a reasonable cost.They had a wider hull,double planking and a solid interior for added stability.Unlike warships,their V-shaped hull was deep underwater,meaning that they could not sail too close to the coast.

答案

上文第一句出现了定位词merchant ships,第二句出现了wider与题干中的broad，所以紧跟其后的hull是答案。下一句中出现的deep underwater对应题干中的far below the surface，所以我们找的句子和写的答案都是正确的。

Q10

Merchant ships were steered through the water with the help of large rudders and a tiller bar.They had both square and 10.................sails.

分析

题干中可以划定位词的有large rudder and tiller bar和square。空格前面是square，空格与这个词并列，两个词一起修饰最后的sails【船帆】，并列的单词词性一样，词义相近，所以空格是与square【方形的】并列的形容词，表示形状。

定位

5...They usually had two huge side rudders located off the stern and controlled by a small tiller bar connected to a system of cables.They had from one to three masts with large square sails and a small triangular sail at the bow.Just like warships,merchant ships used oarsmen,but coordinating the hundreds of rowers in both types of ship was not an easy task.In order to assist them,music would be played on an instrument,and oars would then keep time with this.

答案

上文第一句出现了定位词huge side rudders和tiller bar。这句没有square,接着看下一句。下一句中与square sails并列的是triangular sail，所以答案是triangular。

Q11

On merchant ships and warships,11.................was used to ensure rowers moved their oars in and out of the water at the same time.

分析

题干中可以划的定位词有rowers，oars和water。这些词之前都出现过，所以看的时候要慢一些，以免错过定位。空格后边是was used to，所以空格是单数名词，一种可以利用的东西。

定位

5...They usually had two huge side rudders located off the stern and controlled by a small tiller bar connected to a system of cables.They had from one to three masts with large square sails and a small triangular sail at the bow.Just like warships,merchant ships used oarsmen,but coordinating the hundreds of rowers in both types of ship was not an easy task.In order to assist them,music would be played on an instrument,and oars would then keep time with this.

答案

上文第三句出现了rowers，最后一句出现了oars。最后一句中的in order to assist them对应题干中的was used to后边的内容，都是表示目的。所以答案咋在music would be played on an instrument里边找。这里无法确定答案是music还是instrument的话可以想一下，他们三个之间的因果关系：

乐器----音乐---保持同步，所以他们保持同步的前提是音乐，而不是乐器，所以答案是音乐。

Q12

Quantities of agricultural goods such as 12.................were transported by merchant ships to two main ports in Italy.

分析

题干中可以划定位词的有agricultural goods,two main ports和Italy。空格前面是agricultural goods such as，所以空格写具体的农产品。

定位

6The cargo on merchant ships included raw materials(e.g.iron bars,copper,marble and granite),and agricultural products(e.g.grain from Egypt’s Nile valley).

答案

上文第一句后半句中出现了agricultural products，括号里的e.g.对应题干中的such as，所以紧跟其后的grain【谷物】是答案。

Q13

The ships were pulled to the shore by 13.................When the weather was clear and they could see islands or land,sailors used landmarks that they knew to help them navigate their route.

分析

题干中可以划定位词的有shore,weather,islands和landmarks。空格前面是ships were pulled to the shore by，所以空格写的是有牵引能力的器械，人或动物。

定位

6...Large merchant ships would approach the destination port and,just like today,be intercepted by a number of towboats that would drag them to the quay.

答案

上文出现的port对应题干中的shore(这个定位词被改写了)，这句最后的drag them to the quay对应题干中的pulled to the shore，所以这个动作前面的名词towboats是答案。
