艾易艾斯（aeas)官方阅读出题-填空解析3

原文：The Minerals Hall was good, with examples of so many minerals from around the world. If we pushed a button on a special map, a light on the map showed which minerals are located in that country. We learned that Australia produces 19 different minerals in large amounts from almost 400 mines, and is one of the top producers of minerals in the world, even though mining only began here in the 1800s. Because of all the many uses for minerals in modern life, the minerals mined in Australia make mining the top source of income for the country!

题目：No more than one word or number.

Minerals from Australia are important for 23._____ life, and mining brings a lot of 24._____ to Australia.

解题步骤：判断填空处的词性，再用自己的单词量理解文章找出正确答案，最后检查语法。

第一步我们用名词或名词词组定位。题目附近的名词或名词词组有minerals, Australia, mining。带入原文能看出最后一句话Because of all the many uses for minerals in modern life, the minerals mined in Australia make mining the top source of income for the country!

是答案的出处。

我们再开始判断词性，23题空后的life是我们熟悉的单词，名词词性，前面只能是形容词或名词词性。24题前a lot of说明此空为名词。

定位到原文先做23题，原文中形容词有modern和top，空后是life, 那答案只能是modern。接下来24题，首先空内填名词，对应的原文名词有uses, minerals, source, income, world，我们只需在这些名词中找一个合适的填入空内，24题是说 mining给澳大利亚带来了许多_____，这样一来排除uses和world, 再加上这句话中minerals from Australia是主语，那么minerals也不能填入空中，剩下source和income作为备选答案。最后看原文是minerals mined in Australia make mining the top source of income for the country，题干中的the country对应的是原文的Australia，我们应该填入income.

我们最后补充一下相关的单词。

income n.收入，并且income为不可数名词，同义词有salary和wage。
