原文第二段給出“ First, energy and other natural resources have become more abundant, not less so, since the book ‘The limits to growth’ was published in 1972 by a group of scientists.’ 這句話中1972年是說明某書的出版時間，并且沒有說明此書中有關(guān)于自然資源的數(shù)據(jù)問題，因此答案NG. 一個常見的錯誤是有的考生會順著中文邏輯“腦補”書中就是收集數(shù)據(jù)的，然而這在原文中沒有依據(jù)。

“…The wheel would need to withstand immense and constantly changing stresses as it rotated, so to make the structure more robust, the steel sections were bolted rather than welded together. Over 45,000 bolt holes were matched with their bolts, and each bolt was hand-tightened. 此句中其實有非常明確的說：“我為了讓升船機(jī)穩(wěn)固，鋼架部分要bolted rather than welded ，也就是（人工）螺絲裝釘而不是（機(jī)器）焊接”，而后一句進(jìn)一步解釋需要每個螺絲都是人工裝釘?shù)?。可惜許多考生往往只看到較后一句，不大理解，看到上句不認(rèn)識bolt或weld，加上沒有把這個細(xì)節(jié)說明的句子和整段話主題聯(lián)系，也就是不看語境，會“套路”的判定為false。

此題講剝樹皮的方法，于是可以定位到全文第五段，首句開始便有說明： “Cork harvesting is a very specialist profession. No mechanical means of stripping cork bark has been invented, so the job is done by teams of highly skilled workers. …” 原來為了說明橡木工的專業(yè)性，文中強調(diào)沒有任何機(jī)器工具可以輔助，只能靠技能嫻熟的工人。于是這個說的“”的題目其實是與原文一致，答案是TRUE.

由于講的是商人，可以定位到原文第三段較后一句（當(dāng)然有的考生找因定位詞有替換而找不到）， “Few merchants travelled the entire route; goods were handled mostly by a series of middlemen.” 前半句直接說明—幾乎沒有商人通行整段路，部分考生不認(rèn)識“entire”又會有困難，那么后半句進(jìn)一步解釋—商品大都有一系列的中間人過手（也就是經(jīng)歷幾次交易），由此可以確定答案是TRUE.
