5. 答案解析：

27 通过Pacific island of éfaté; 定位到文章第一段。通过3,000-year-old定位到句’An agricultural worker, digging in the grounds of a derelict plantation, scraped open a grave-the first of dozens in a burial ground some 3,000 years old.’，发现该句中derelict是题目中abandoned的同义替换，都用来修饰plantation，因此答案选B。

28 通过agricultural worker和cemetery可定位到文章第一段。读题发现第一段第一句’An important

archaeological discovery on the island of éfaté in the Pacific archipelago of Vanuatu...’中important是题目significant

的同义替换，修饰archaeological discovery，因此答案选F。

29 根据题号顺序原则，并通过tools定位到第二段中’They were also pioneers who carried with them everything that would need to build new lives- their livestock, taro seedlings and stone tools.’从中发现除了tool之外还带了livestock和seedlings，而livestock和题目中选项animals为同义替换，因此答案选I。

30 通过人名Spriggs定位到第三段It’s an important discovery,’ says Matthew Spriggs, professor of archaeology at the Australian National University... 根据分析得出文中it即是important修饰的对象。对比原文发现it指的是前文中的 a Lapita burial urn，所以答案选G。

31 与上一题紧密关联。Spriggs后面还说了’...says Matthew Spriggs, professor... , ‘for it conclusively identifies the remains as Lapita.’ ’此句表示remains就是Lapita，而remains和选项中的bones为同义替换，因此答案选D。

32 通过题号顺序原则及accomplish定位到第五段发现’There is one stubborn question for which archaeology has yet to provide any answers: how did the Lapita accomplish the ancient equivalent of a moon landing, many times over? No-one has found one of their canoes or any rigging, which could reveal how the canoes were sailed.’ 其中stubborn是difficulties的同义替换，to provide any answers即explaining how...因此定位成功。文中发现原因是no-one has found one of their canoes以及nor do the oral histories and traditions of later Polynesians offer any insights即没发现独木舟实物也没有口述的历史信息传承下来，即little information can be relied on，因此答案为C。

33 通过题目所示the sixth paragraph定位到第六段，发现’Those sailing skills, he says, were developed...’其中developed对应题目的extraordinary。原文中又说’Those sailing skills... through the archipelagoes of the western Pacific, making short crossings to nearby islands.’所以sailing skills指的就是选项中的A。

34 通过题目所示the seventh paragraph定位到第七段，找到this指代的对象’This is what would have made the whole thing work.’ 在这里this指的是之前的’if they didn’t find anything, they could turn about and catch a swift ride back on the trade winds.’ ‘turn about’及’back’即题目中的’return home’，因此答案选D。

35 通过题目所示the eighth paragraph定位到第八段，发现原文说’the geography of their own archipelagoes would have provided a safety net.’又说’... forming a backstop for mariners riding the trade winds home.’ safety和backstop都表示其是一种aid，因此答案选C。

36 通过prevailing trade winds定位到第七段’The Lapita’s thrust into the Pacific was eastward, against the prevailing trade winds’原文说against而题目中是sail into，完全相反，因此选NO。

37 通过climate定位到第10段，’El Ni?o, the same climate disruption that affects the Pacific today, may have helped scatter the Lapita,’。这里的climate disruption对应题目extreme climate conditions;help对应play a role;scatter对应migration。所以答案为YES。

38 通过El Ni?o定位到第十段’El Ni?os’ might have taken the Lapita on long unplanned voyages’这里只说到the Lapita might have been taken by El Ni?os，并未提到learn to predict因此答案为NOT GIVEN。

39 通过题号原则及’across the Pacific’定位到最后一段，发现 ‘then called it quits for reasons known only to them.’这里’called it quits’对应题目中的’halted’ ;’for reasons known only to them’对应题目中’it remains unclear’。因此选YES。
