Paragraph 1:The transition from forest to treeless tundra on a mountain slope is often a dramatic one. Within a vertical distance of just a few tens of meters, trees disappear as a life-form and are replaced by low shrubs, herbs, and grasses. This rapid zone of transition is called the upper timberline or tree line. In many semiarid areas there is also a lower timberline where the forest passes into steppe or desert at its lower edge, usually because of a lack of moisture. 3. Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 1 about both the upper and lower timberlines? 1 Both are treeless zones 2 Both mark forest boundaries. 3 Both are surrounded by desert areas. 4 Both suffer from a lack of moisture. 請問一下,答案是2 但是我實在不懂為什麼1不行,應該是我沒有讀懂, 在選答案的時候,就是覺得1和2都對, 麻煩高手解答一下 感謝感謝。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.164.10.20

述會發現真的treeless的地方其實是tundra/steppe/deser

timberline 下面的區域就變成steppe desert 這個概念

也有跟"edge"呼應 我不曉得這對你有沒有幫助 不過我看

重點是transition這個單字,timberline是從有樹木到沒樹

的一條界線,所以是forest boundaries

也許你要回憶一下高中地理的描述XD

推樓上 其實我一開始也想說是高中地理......XDD

靠我當初選2,可是我現在看感覺1也能infer出來= ="

09/16 18:52, , 15F
不過要解釋的話,應該是lower timberline無法infer出

我覺得他是一個從多到少的過渡區域 所以真正treeless的應該

是desert之類的,timberline只是開始變小顆,沒說變少
