※ 引述《qweqweqweqwe (啪)》之銘言： : Paragraph 3 : If true, though, why did cold-blooded animals such as snakes, : lizards, turtles, and crocodiles survive the freezing winters and torrid : summers? These animals are at the mercy of the climate to maintain a livable : body temperature. It’s hard to understand why they would not be affected, : whereas dinosaurs were left too crippled to "cope", especially if, as some : scientists believe, dinosaurs were warm-blooded. : (不會換色用" " 請見諒@@) : 4. The word cope in the passage is closest in meaning to : ○adapt : ○move : ○continue : ○compete : 答案給A : 我選D : 應該是給錯了? 查不到adapt的意思囧 : 另外順便另一題不要對於翻譯太執著（以後看翻譯請著眼於句意，not word by word）在這裡，你應該要看看恐龍他們是為什麼而滅種，是氣候對吧，所以用adapt是很恰當的，恐龍因為沒辦法適應那麼惡劣的氣候，所以滅亡了。 compete這個字比較是有比賽、較勁的意味，例如兩黨競爭，兩個公司較勁，或參加什麼比賽，爭奪同一個事物等。生物和氣候之間，我似乎沒看過使用compete這個字的。在生物領域裡，我們比較會看到的是species之間compete 再說，生物是永遠不可能和大自然競爭的。大自然說一是一，說二是二。 : Paragraph 4 : Dissatisfaction with conventional explanations for dinosaur : extinctions led to a surprising observation that, in turn, has suggested a : new hypothesis. Many plants and animals disappear abruptly from the fossil : record as one moves from layers of rock documenting the end of the Cretaceous : up into rocks representing the beginning of the Cenozoic (the era after the : Mesozoic). Between the last layer of Cretaceous rock and the first layer of : Cenozoic rock, there is often a thin layer of clay. Scientists felt that they : could get an idea of how long the extinctions took by determining how long it : took to deposit this one centimeter of clay and they thought they could : determine the time it took to deposit the clay by determining the amount of : the element iridium (lr) it contained. : 8. In paragraph 4, all the following questions are answered EXCEPT: : ○Why is there a layer of clay between the rocks of the Cretaceous and : Cenozoic? : ○Why were scientists interested in determining how long it took to deposit : the layer of clay at the end of the Cretaceous? : ○What was the effect of the surprising observation scientists made? : ○Why did scientists want more information about the dinosaur extinctions at : the end of the Cretaceous? : 有板友可以幫忙解釋一下嗎這題問你，那一個問題沒有在這段獲得解答 1.沒有，因為他只有說有夾層沒說明原因 2.有，因為可以知道how long the extinctions took 3.有，第一句說has suggested a new hypothesis. 指的就是a thin layer of clay可以推測滅絕所用的時間這整件事 4.有，第一句說Dissatisfaction with conventional explanations for dinosaur extinctions 對傳統的解釋不滿才促使了這個surprising observation -- 上帝是不會跟我們玩骰子遊戲的。所以，人與人的相聚，自有其已定的緣份 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.223.69.232
