95/5 Passage3
The general practice is best described as "easy come, easy go," although there are certain group - forming tendencies. As a rule chimpanzees move about in one of four types of band: adult males only; mothers and offspring and occasionally a few other females; adults and adolescents of both sexes, but no mothers with young; and representatives of all categories mixed together.

4. In line 16, the phrase "easy come, easy go" could best be replaced by
(A)immobile
(B)nonchalant
(C)functional
(D)aggressive

爲什麽這題要選B呢?
我的理解是: 定位于第一句話,although是邏輯關係詞,那麼although前後應該是反義關係,所以certain對應的關係應該是mobile... 但是選項裡頭沒有.. 我不會選. 可是也不明白爲什麽選擇nonchalant...

请问小鱼，听力想用五步法，有什么推荐的听力资料吗？我现在有老托的真题，不知道难度够不够.

我想“easy come, easy go " 所对的不是 certain 啦~ 而是tendency
而且选项也是 immobile 不是mobile啊~ immobile是不灵活，不移动的，怎么跟easy come/go 有联系呢？
第一句的意思是：对普遍事实最好的描述是漠不关心的，尽管有那么的一群有特定的倾向。

在加州风能发电足够一个与san francisco相当大的城市的电力供应，然后又说原则上North Dakota, South Dakota, and Texas 发电足以供应全国，所以公司们aware of this wider possibility（这个possibility就是Dakota and Tx发电供应全国） ，planning sizable wind-farm projects in states （states就是指North Dakota, South Dakota, and Texas）。
综上所述，填在第四个~

俺不是小鱼，but 俺觉得老托比新托简单多了，所以不够~
我看小鱼说过要多研究DELTA~ 嘻嘻~

文章中说的是support支持而已不是起决定作用. 应该选最i直接的答案.

不好意思，我还是不明白呀~
正确答案，跟定位句，不是矛盾吗？

Paragraph 3：In order for the structure to achieve the size and strength necessary to meet its purpose, architecture employs methods of support that, because they are based on physical laws, have changed little since people first discovered them-even while building materials have changed dramatically. The world’s architectural structures have also been devised in relation to the objective limitations of materials. Structures can be analyzed in terms of how they deal with downward forces created by gravity. They are designed to withstand the forces of compression (pushing together), tension (pulling apart), bending, or a combination of these in different parts of the structure.

3. Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.
○Unchanging physical laws have limited the size and strength of buildings that can be made with materials discovered long ago.
○Building materials have changed in order to increase architectural size and strength, but physical laws of structure have not changed.
○When people first started to build, the structural methods used to provide strength and size were inadequate because they were not based on physical laws.
○Unlike building materials, the methods of support used in architecture have not changed over time because they are based on physical laws.
答案选D，我选的B是哪里错了呢？


Paragraph 6: Much of the world’s great architecture has been constructed of stone because of its beauty, permanence, and availability. In the past, whole cities grew from the arduous task of cutting and piling stone upon. Some of the world’s finest stone architecture can be seen in the ruins of the ancient Inca city of Machu Picchu high in the eastern Andes Mountains of Peru. The doorways and windows are made possible by placing over the open spaces thick stone beams that support the weight from above. A structural invention had to be made before the physical limitations of stone could be overcome and new architectural forms could be created. That invention was the arch, a curved structure originally made of separate stone or brick segments. The arch was used by the early cultures of the Mediterranean area chiefly for underground drains, but it was the Romans who first developed and used the arch extensively in aboveground structures. Roman builders perfected the semicircular arch made of separate blocks of stone. As a method of spanning space, the arch can support greater weight than a horizontal beam. It works in compression to divert the weight above it out to the sides, where the weight is borne by the vertical elements on either side of the arch. The arch is among the many important structural breakthroughs that have characterized architecture throughout the centuries.

10. Why does the author include a description of how the “doorways and windows” of Machu Picchu were constructed?
○To indicate that the combined skeletons and skins of the stone buildings of Machu Picchu were similar to igloos and adobe structures
○To indicate the different kinds of stones that had to be cut to build Machu Picchu
○To provide an illustration of the kind of construction that was required before arches were invented
○To explain how ancient builders reduced the amount of time necessary to construct buildings from stone.
答案是C，楼主能帮我说明下答案得出的思路么？
谢谢

1  In order for the structure to achieve the size and strength necessary to meet its purpose, architecture employs methods of support that, because they are based on physical laws, have changed little since people first discovered them-even while building materials have changed dramatically.
换换位置好理解一点：In order for the structure to achieve the size and strength necessary to meet its purpose, architecture employs methods of support that have changed little since people first discovered them-even while building materials have changed dramatically , because they are based on physical laws. 即使建筑材料已经有很大的变化，但为了使所建造的房子达到预想的规模和强度，建筑方法从发现以来很少变化，因为方法要符合物理定律。

2 这题结合排除法会比较快。既然题目问为什么要描述“doorways and windows”肯定是为引述下面的内容或支持本段论点的，马上快速浏览定位句的前后一句。“A structural invention had to be made before the physical limitations of stone could be overcome and new architectural forms could be created. ”已经提示答案了~
A 中skeletons and skins 是上一段的内容，排除
B 文中没有把门上的石块和其他对比
D 没有说reduce time啊
先用排除法，排掉A、D 两个，然后结合文中内容，马上排除B ，得C！
