2、2023年劍橋雅思閱讀真題解析：Thomas Young
3、詢問劍橋雅思5 TEST1的一道閱讀題這個問題我也沒有得到一個準確的答案。

據(jù)我目前的理解是，題目中有三個關鍵詞：

forcus, mainly, language.

and illustrated their meanings with some 114,000 quotations drawn from the Elizabethans to his own time.這個定位存在以下問題：
1、說的是字典中的詞匯的釋義引用的文獻的年代，相對于language來說范圍較小
2、沒有提到mainly用的是哪個年代的

題目中說的是當代語言。

而后面有treat english very practically， as a living language.注重英語的實踐性，也就是當代性。

一點見解，希望樓主找到答案后與大家分享分享。

Thomas Young
The Last True Know-It-All
A Thomas Young （1773-1829） contributed 63 articles to the Encyclopedia Britannica， including 46 biographical entries （mostly on scientists and classicists） and substantial essays on ＂Bridge，” ＂Chromatics，＂＂Egypt，＂＂Languages＂ and ＂Tides＂. Was someone who could write authoritatively about so many subjects a polymath， a genius or a dilettante？ In an ambitious new biography， Andrew Robinson argues that Young is a good contender for the epitaph ＂the last man who knew everything.＂ Young has competition， however： The phrase， which Robinson takes for his title， also serves as the subtitle of two other recent biographies： Leonard Warren＇s 1998 life of paleontologist Joseph Leidy （1823-1891） and Paula Findlen＇s 2023 book on Athanasius Kircher （1602-1680）， another polymath.
B Young， of course， did more than write encyclopedia entries. He presented his first paper to the Royal Society of London at the age of 20 and was elected a Fellow a week after his 21st birthday. In the paper， Young explained the process of accommodation in the human eye on how the eye focuses properly on objects at varying distances. Young hypothesized that this was achieved by changes in the shape of the lens. Young also theorized that light traveled in waves and he believed that， to account for the ability to see in color， there must be three receptors in the eye corresponding to the three ＂principal colors＂ to which the retina could respond： red， green， violet. All these hypothesis were subsequently proved to be correct.
C Later in his life， when he was in his forties， Young was instrumental in cracking the code that unlocked the unknown script on the Rosetta Stone， a tablet that was ＂found＂ in Egypt by the Napoleonic army in 1799. The stone contains text in three alphabets： Greek， something unrecognizable and Egyptian hieroglyphs. The unrecognizable script is now known as demotic and， as Young deduced， is related directly to hieroglyphic. His initial work on this appeared in his Britannica entry on Egypt. In another entry， he coined the term Indo-European to describe the family of languages spoken throughout most of Europe and northern India. These are the landmark achievements of a man who was a child prodigy and who， unlike many remarkable children， did not disappear into oblivion as an *.
D Born in 1773 in Somerset in England， Young lived from an early age with his maternal grandfather， eventually leaving to attend boarding school. He haddevoured books from the age of two， and through his own initiative he excelled at Latin， Greek， mathematics and natural philosophy. After leaving school， he was greatly encouraged by his mother＇s uncle， Richard Brocklesby， a physician and Fellow of the Royal Society. Following Brocklesby＇s lead， Young decided to pursue a career in medicine. He studied in London， following the medical circuit， and then moved on to more formal education in Edinburgh， Gottingen and Cambridge. After completing his medical training at the University of Cambridge in 1808， Young set up practice as a physician in London. He soon became a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and a few years later was appointed physician at St. George＇s Hospital.
E Young＇s skill as a physician， however， did not equal his skill as a scholar of natural philosophy or linguistics. Earlier， in 1801， he had been appointed to a professorship of natural philosophy at the Royal Institution， where he delivered as many as 60 lectures in a year. These were published in two volumes in 1807. In 1804 Young had become secretary to the Royal Society， a post he would hold until his death. His opinions were sought on civic and national matters， such as the introduction of gas lighting to London and methods of ship construction. From 1819 he was superintendent of the Nautical Almanac and secretary to the Board of Longitude. From 1824 to 1829 he was physician to and inspector of calculations for the Palladian Insurance Company. Between 1816 and 1825 he contributed his many and various entries to the Encyclopedia Britannica， and throughout his career he authored numerous books， essays and papers.
F Young is a perfect subject for a biography - perfect， but daunting. Few men contributed so much to so many technical fields. Robinson＇s aim is to introduce non-scientists to Young＇s work and life. He succeeds， providing clear expositions of the technical material （especially that on optics and Egyptian hieroglyphs）. Some readers of this book will， like Robinson， find Young＇s accomplishments impressive； others will see him as some historians have - as a dilettante. Yet despite the rich material presented in this book， readers will not end up knowing Young personally. We catch glimpses of a playful Young， doodling Greek and Latin phrases in his notes on medical lectures and translating the verses that a young lady had written on the walls of a summerhouse into Greek elegiacs. Young was introduced into elite society， attended the theatre and learned to dance and play the flute. In addition， he was an accomplished horseman. However， his personal life looks pale next to his vibrant career and studies.
G Young married Eliza Maxwell in 1804， and according to Robinson，＂their marriage was a happy one and she appreciated his work.＂ Almost all we know about her is that she sustained her husband through some rancorous disputes about optics and that she worried about money when his medical career was slow to take off. Very little evidence survives about the complexities of Young＇s relationships with his mother and father. Robinson does not credit them， or anyone else， with shaping Young＇s extraordinary mind. Despite the lack of details concerning Young＇s relationships， however， anyone interested in what it means to be a genius should read this book.

試題分析
Question 1-7
題目類型：True / false /not given
題號定位詞文中對應點題目解析
1Other peopleA段第四句“Young has competition， however： The phrase， which Robinson takes for his title， also serves as the subtitle of two other recent biographies： Leonard Warren＇s 1998 life of paleontologist Joseph Leidy （1823-1891） and Paula Findlen＇s 2023 book on Athanasius Kircher （1602-1680）， another polymath.”該句中明確給出了Young還有其他的競爭者，他們的傳記中也同樣擁有這樣的小標題，分別是Leonard Warren寫的關于Joseph Leidy的傳記，以及 Paula Findlen＇s寫的關于Athanasius Kircher的傳記。
因此，本題答案為True
2all， articlesB段第一、二句B段第一句 “Young， of course， did more than write encyclopedia entries.”明確表示Young所做的遠不僅僅是編輯大英百科全書的詞條，因此并不是所有的都在百科全書。而在本段第二句中，作者指出，Young在20歲的時候將自己的第一篇論文自薦給倫敦皇家學會，并在一年后成為該學會的會員： He presented his first paper to the Royal Society of London at the age of 20 and was elected a Fellow a week after his 21st birthday。Paper與article為近意思。顯然，題干與原文含義相反。
因此，本題答案為False
3likeC段最后一句C段整體是在介紹Young晚年的主要成就，即Young長大后的成就。此外，在C段最后一句中，作者明確指出Young和其他的孩子不同的一點在于，Young并沒有像其他那些年少成名而后來江郎才盡的孩子一樣，他后來同樣取得了非凡的成就： These are the landmark achievements of a man who was a child prodigy and who， unlike many remarkable children， did not disappear into oblivion as an *.句中的unlike為like的反義詞，顯然題干與原文含義相反。
因此，本題答案為False
4surpassingD段第四、七句D段介紹了Young的成長背景和經(jīng)歷，同時體現(xiàn)出其涉獵范圍較為廣泛。其中第四句中提到Young決定學醫(yī)，并且在后面的介紹中指出Young還參加戲劇演出，學習跳舞和吹笛子： He then broke with his Quaker upbringing by attending the theater and learning to dance and play the flute. In addition， he was an accomplished horseman.而在第七句中作者指出Young還是一名杰出的馬術師。但是并未指出Young在哪個方面的造詣更高，更有天賦。Surpassing這個概念并沒有在文中體現(xiàn)。
因此，本題答案為Not Given
5soughtE段第四句“ His opinions were sought on civic and national matters”，文中表明Young的很多觀點關注人民和國家事務。題干與原文含義相同。
因此，本題答案為True
6Interested in， social pastimeF段第七句“We catch glimpses of a playful Young， doodling Greek and Latin phrases in his notes on medical lectures and translating the verses that a young lady had written on the walls of a summerhouse into Greek elegiacs.”文中指出，通過Young的醫(yī)學演講中亂寫的希臘字母和拉丁短語以及將一位年輕女性寫在涼亭上的詩歌翻譯成希臘挽歌便能看出他的幽默。顯然，Young對于這樣的社交娛樂是感興趣的。題干和原文相符合。
因此，本題答案為True
7disease， later yearsC段第一句，G段第一句C段第一句給出了“l(fā)ater in his life，”但是本段近講述了Young晚年在學術方面的成就；G段給出了Young的婚后生活，以及Robinson在書中并未提及Young與父母間的關系。但無論哪一個點都沒有提及其晚年飽受某種疾病之苦。
因此，本題答案為Not Given
題目類型：Short-answer question
8life storiesA段第一句“Thomas Young （1773-1829） contributed 63 articles to the Encyclopedia Britannica， including 46 biographical entries （mostly on scientists and classicists）…”該劇中的“biographical entries”指傳記詞條，與題干中的life stories表示相同涵義。
因此，本題答案為46
9first academic paperB段第三句“In the paper， on how the eye focuses properly on objects at varying distances， Young hypothesized that deformation of the crystalline lens accomplished the accommodation.”B段段首表明，Young將自己的第一篇論文自薦給了倫敦皇家學會學會。因此本段討論的是其第一篇論文。而本段第三句指出，在這篇論文中，Young主要討論了人類眼球的調節(jié)機制
因此，本題答案為humaneye或human eye accommodation
10a group of languagesC段第五句“In another entry， he coined the term Indo-European to describe the family of languages spoken throughout most of Europe and northern India.”該句指出，Young創(chuàng)造了術語 Indo-European來描述在歐洲大部分地區(qū)以及北印度使用的語言。
因此，本題答案為Indo-European
11inspire， medical studiesD段第四句D段前面介紹了Young童年時期的生活背景。本段第四句中則指出：“Following Brocklesby＇s lead， Young decided to pursue a career in medicine.”。顯然，正是因為 Richard Brocklesby的引導，Young才決定在醫(yī)學方面有所建樹。
因此，本題答案為 Richard Brocklesby
12teaching positionE段第二句“ Earlier， in 1801， he had been appointed to a professorship of natural philosophy at the Royal Institution”，題干中的teaching position與E段第二句中的professorship均表示“教師職位”，該句明確指出，Young作為自然哲學的教授，受聘于英國科學研究所。
因此，本題答案為 Royal Institution
13LondonE段第五句“His opinions were sought on civic and national matters， such as the introduction of gas lighting to London and methods of ship construction.”E段主要介紹了Young作為自然哲學學者取得的成就。而第五句則列舉了Young的兩個成就，其對于倫敦的所做出的成就在于煤氣照明的引入。
因此，本題答案為gas lighting
A我們該怎樣理解托馬斯·楊（1773-1829）？他是《大不列顛百科全書》中63篇文章的作者，其中包括46篇傳記（大部分都是關于科學家和古典學者），和大量關于“橋” “色彩論” “埃及” “語吉” “潮汐”等的論文。一個能夠寫出這樣多有權威性文章的人應該算是一個博學者？一個天才？還是一個業(yè)余興趣廣泛的人呢？在一篇關于他的比較激進的傳記中，Andrew Robinson 認為托馬斯楊是-位強有力的競爭者能夠配得這樣的墓志銘“是最后一個知道任何事的人”。但是楊也要面對競爭：因為這樣的傳記標題Robinson不僅給了他，也作為副標題給了有關另兩位學者的傳記：Lenard Warren 1998年著的《古生物學家Joseph Leipy的一生》（1823-1891）以及Paula Findlen 2023年著的關于另一位博學者Athanasius Kircher（1602-1680）的傳記。
B當然楊的貢獻遠不止寫了很多百科全書上的文章，他在20歲的時候將自己的第一篇論文自薦給倫敦皇家學會，并在他的21歲生日后被評為一周科學人物，楊在該篇論文中解釋了人類眼睛的調節(jié)機制一一關于眼睛如何通過不同的距離聚焦在物體上。在后面的文章中，他更加全面地探討了這個問題，類似牛頓，他在自己身上進行了可怕的實驗用以獲得相關的證據(jù)，他還得出這樣的理論：光是通過“以太”分子的振動，以波的形式進行傳遞的，而“以太”是一種假想物質，其存在還存在爭議性。他還認為為了能看見顏色，必須要有3個感應器對“三原色”進行感應，而這三種視網(wǎng)膜對其產(chǎn)生感應的顏色就是紅，黃，藍二種顏色。
C在他人生的晚些時候，也就是40多歲的時候，楊試圖破解鎖在羅塞塔石碑里的未知文字密碼，這個石碑是在1799年在埃及被拿破侖的軍隊發(fā)現(xiàn)的，并且從1802年起就在英國博物館進行展出。該石碑上包含了 3種不同的字母：希臘語，不可辨識的文字以及埃及的象形文字。這種不可辨識的文字現(xiàn)在被認為是正如楊所推斷的是很普通的，是和象形文字直接相關的。他最初有關這方面的工作首次出現(xiàn)在他在《大不列顛百科全書》中編纂的詞條。在另一個條目中，他創(chuàng)造了術語“Indo-European”來描述在歐洲大部分地區(qū)以及北印度使用的語言。這些都是這是這位從小就展露科學天賦并且不像很多孩子后來江郎才盡的科學家獲得的里程碑式的成就。
D托馬斯·楊出生在英國薩默塞特郡一個虔誠的教友會教徒家庭，從小和他的外公一起長大，最后去了寄宿學校。他兩歲的時候就博覽群書，并且自學熟練掌握了拉丁語，希臘語，數(shù)學以及哲學，在很大程度上他受到了舅舅Richard Brocklesby的鼓勵，他的舅舅也是英國皇家學會的一位內(nèi)科醫(yī)生。在Brocklesby的引導下，楊決定要在醫(yī)學方而有所建樹，他曾先后在倫敦大學、愛丁堡大學和格丁根大學學習醫(yī)學，多虧了Brocklesby的引薦，楊進入了英國皇家學會，他最后也打破了從小在教友會的教育，他參加戲劇演出，學習跳舞和吹笛子，此外，他還是一位杰出的馬術師。在1808年結束在劍橋大學的醫(yī)學學習后，楊在倫敦開了一家診所，很快他就成為皇家內(nèi)科醫(yī)生學會的一員，并且?guī)啄旰蟪蔀槭讨吾t(yī)院的一名內(nèi)科醫(yī)生。
E楊作為內(nèi)科醫(yī)生的醫(yī)術卻趕不上他作為自然哲學學者或是語言學家取得的成就，早在1801年，他已經(jīng)被任命為英國皇家學會的教授，他每年要在那里舉辦60場的講座。這些講座在1807年以兩本書的形式進行出版。1804年楊就已經(jīng)成為英國朵家學會的秘書，而他獲此殊榮直至去世。他的很多觀點關注人民和國家事務，比如說在倫敦引進煤氣照明和造船方法。從1819年起，他就是航海天文年歷的主要負責人，也是Board of Longitude的秘書。從1824年到1829年，他擔任Palladian 保險公司的精算師和內(nèi)科醫(yī)生。在1816年和1825年間，他為《大不列顛百科全書》編纂了許多詞條，而且窮其一生著作，論文無數(shù)。
F我們通過楊在醫(yī)學課上胡亂寫的希臘字母和拉丁文短語以及他將一位年輕的女士寫在避暑山莊墻上的詩句翻譯成挽歌可以看出他的幽默，但是他的個人生活也因為自己對工作和研究的全情投入而略顯蒼白。
G他在1804年和Eliza Maxwell結婚，據(jù)Robinson所述“他們的婚姻是幸福的，因為他的夫人欣賞他的工作”。我們對于他夫人的了解僅限于她在她丈夫備受一些關于眼睛的理論方面爭議的時候總是堅定地支持他，并且當他的醫(yī)學生涯開始慢慢起飛的時候，她開始有些擔心錢的問題。值得一提的是，楊沒有被保護的人，他都是和自己的導師進行互動一一先是他的外公，后是Brocklesby一一還有先于他過失的一些偉人（其中很多是很著名的如牛頓，楊最早在17歲讀了他寫的書）。但是關于楊和他母親以及父親的關系的記述卻鮮力人知，Robinson在說到楊的非凡的頭腦時也并沒有將其歸功于他的父母，或許很難有這樣的巧合：過去的天才都是由于卓越的父母教育造就的。

由于這組題目是這篇文章的最后一組題目，我們可以初步斷定信息點應該在文章的后半部分。
24，信息點是倒數(shù)第三段的第一行，“making a rapid emotional asses*ent of the events of the moment is an extremely demanding job for the brain.” 其中，extremely demanding job for the brain=題目中的one of the brain's most difficult tasks；而making a rapid emotional asses*ent of the events=選項C respond instantly to whatever is happening.
所以24題選C;
25，信息點在倒數(shù)第二段的第二行，“but humans, who have developed a much more complicated internal life as a result of language,respond emotionally not only to their surroundings, but to their own thoughts.” 這個句子的前半部分等于題干，而respond to their own thoughts=選項A react to their own thoughts.
所以25題選A
26，信息點是倒數(shù)第二段的最后一句，“Whether a joke gives pleasure or pain depends on a person's outlook（觀點）” 這里的joke=題干中的humour，depends on約等于選項F中的relate to，a person's outlook=選項F中的a person's subjectiveig views.
所以26選F
27，信息點是最后一段第二行，Peter Derks說的這段話，從倒數(shù)第二行看起“If we can figure out how the mind processes humour, then we'll have a pretty good handle on how it works in general. ” 這句話的意思是說，如果我們能夠弄明白大腦產(chǎn)生幽默的過程，那么我們就能夠很好的掌握大腦總體上是如何運作的。這句話的意思同選項D,也就是說幽默能夠提供一些關于大腦運作的有價值的信息。
所以27題選D
