Yoruba Towns
A. The Yoruba people of Nigeria classify their towns in two ways. Permanent towns with their own governments are called “ilu”, whereas temporary settlements, set up to support work in the country are “aba”. Although ilu tend to be larger than aba, the distinction is not one of size, some aba are large, while declining ilu can be small, but of purpose. There is no “typical” Yoruba town, but some features are common to most towns.
Yoruba 约鲁巴人(生活在非洲)
Permanent and temporary
第一段介绍了两种town的形态，重点理解的内容是区分这两种town的区分点，不是size，而是purpose
B. In the 19th century most towns were heavily fortified and the foundations of these walls are sometimes visible. Collecting tolls to enter and exit through the walls was a major source of revenue for the old town rulers, as were market fees. The markets were generally located centrally and in small towns, while in large towns there were permanent stands made of corrugated iron or concrete. The market was usually next to the local ruler’s palace.
Fortified 防御工事强化…(Force力Fort要塞)
Toll 通行费
Revenue 国家收入，税收
Stand 摊位
Corrugated 波纹的
这一段个人觉得挺难完全看懂的，还是词汇问题，第一遍看仅仅能理解大体意思
解析：
In this first question, the word 'foundation' is in the topic sentence. This does not automatically make 'vi' the correct answer. However, it is a good reason to flag this up as a possibility. The heading also refers to 'history', so the reference to '19th century' in the topic sentence tells us the paragraph is about the history. A quick skim of the paragraph confirms this.
C. The palaces were often very large. In the 1930’s, the area of Oyo’s palace covered 17 acres, and consisted of a series of courtyards surrounded by private and public rooms. After colonization, many of the palaces were completely or partially demolished. Often the rulers built two storey houses for themselves using some of the palace grounds for government buildings.
这一段比较简单，而且可以帮助我们排除一个干扰项
Oyo palace
这段肯定不是主要讲这个，这里举例子的目的仅仅是为了解释the palaces were often very large
Demolished，可以看出这段主要是讲changes的
D. The town is divided into different sections. In some towns these are regular, extending out from the center of the town like spokes on a wheel, while in others, where space is limited, they are more random. The different areas are further divided into compounds called “ile”. These vary in size considerably from single dwellings to up to thirty houses. They tend to be larger in the North. Large areas are devoted to government administrative buildings. Newer developments such as industrial or commercial areas or apartment housing for civil servants tends to be build on the edge of the town.
Spoke这个单词应该可以猜到意思，轮辐
Compound 混合
这段的核心是：Divided into different sections
E. Houses are rectangular and either have a courtyard in the center or the rooms come off a central corridor. Most social life occurs in the courtyard. They are usually built of hardened mud and have roofs of corrugated iron or, in the countryside, thatch. Buildings of this material are easy to alter, either by knocking down rooms or adding new ones. And can be improved by coating the walls with cement. Richer people often build their houses of concrete blocks and, if they can afford to, build two storey houses. Within compounds there can be quite a mixture of building types. Younger well-educated people may have well furnished houses while their older relatives live in mud walled buildings and sleep on mats on the floor.
Rectangular 矩形
Corridor 走廊
Corrugated (这个单词再次出现)
Thatch 杂草?that is odd
Alter：change
Cement 重音在第二个音节 水泥
Mat and mattress
这一段显然讲的是建筑的特征
形状，里面是什么(corridor，rooms)，建筑材料是什么，改建，不同人住不同材料的建筑等
F. The builder or the most senior man gets a room either near the entrance or, in a two storied house, next to the balcony. He usually has more than one room. Junior men get a room each and there are separate rooms for teenage boys and girls to sleep in. Younger children sleep with their mothers. Any empty room are used as storage, let out or, if they face the street, used as shops.
这一段不断出现不同的人群住哪儿，这儿得理解选项中的 domestic的含义，domestice不仅仅是国内的意思，还有home的含义，另外，arrangement理解成安排，所以符合这一段的含义
G. Amenities vary. In some towns most of the population uses communal water taps and only the rich have piped water, in others piped water is more normal. Some areas have toilets, but bucket toilets are common with waste being collected by a “night soil man”. Access to water and electricity are key political issues.
第一个单词就不认识，但这一段却很简单，讲得是水电供应
答案是town facilities
整体答案：
1. vi
2. ix
3. iii
4. iv
5. vii
6. i
