雅思阅读解析C10T1P1: Stepwells

Question 1: Examples of ancient stepwells can be found all over the world.

第二段, “Most stepwells are found dotted round the desert areas of Gujarat (where they are called vav ) and Rajasthan (where they are called baori ), while a few also survive in Delhi .”

所以答案是: FALSE

Question 2: Stepwells had a range of functions, in addition to those related to water collection.

第二段, “Some were located in or near villages as public spaces for the community ; others were positioned beside roads as resting places for travelers .” “During their heyday, they (stepwells) were places of gathering of leisure and relaxation and of worship for villagers of all but the lowest classes.”

所以答案是: TRUE

Question 3: The few existing stepwells in Delhi are more attractive than those found elsewhere.

第二段, 作者列出了一些可以找到阶梯井的地方，他提到“a few also survive in （Delhi）”。 但是，并没有比较Delhi和其他地方阶梯井的吸引力。

倒数第三段：

In the old ruined town of Abhaneri, about 95 kilometres east of Jaipur, is Chand Baori, one of India’s oldest and deepest wells; aesthetically, it’s perhaps one of the most dramatic.

这里说的是one of（之一），之一的意思是很多个。比如这是中国最高的楼之一，不能说明它就是最高的，只能说明它是属于“相对比较高的楼群里“，这个集合的范围不止一个，所以不是最高级。而且这里用的是perhaps，只是一个估计的说法。
