※ 引述《happynesssyc (SYCGOD)》之銘言： : Paragraph 7: "Earth is a target in a cosmic shooting gallery, subject to : random violent events that were unsuspected a few decades ago". In 1991 the : United States Congress asked NASA to investigate the hazard posed today by : large impacts on Earth. The group conducting the study concluded from a : detailed analysis that impacts from meteorites can indeed be hazardous. : Although there is always some risk that a large impact could occur, careful : study shows that this risk is quite small. : 11. Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information : in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the : meaning in important ways or leave out essential information. : ○Until recently, nobody realized that Earth is exposed to unpredictable : violent impacts from space. : ○In the last few decades, the risk of a random violent impact from space has : increased. : ○Since most violent events on Earth occur randomly, nobody can predict when : or where they will happen. : ○A few decades ago, Earth became the target of random violent events : originating in outer space. : 翻譯 : 幾十年前，地球是宇宙射擊場的一個靶子，容易受到未知的隨機暴力事件的攻擊。1991年 : 美國國會要求美國國家航空航天局調查大型撞擊對地球造成的危害。指揮這項研究的團隊 : 通過詳細的分析得出這樣一個結論︰隕石撞擊確實是危險的。盡管大型撞擊發生的風險依 : 然存在，但是謹慎的研究這門也認為這種風險的出現幾率非常小 : 這是黃金閱讀中的一篇 : 答案給1 : 實在看不出為什麼... 看到原PO推文不確定你是了解還是=?= 我重翻一下選項對應的原文你參考看看 1)Until recently, nobody realized that Earth is exposed to unpredictable violent impacts from space. 原文:有人在幾十年前懷疑這個事實:地球因為隨機的暴力事件而成為宇宙射擊場的靶子 f大也說明同一件事推 fishtom:that 是events的關代所以這個event以前是不知道的 → fishtom:原文意思是幾十年前大家不知道地球是target 2)In the last few decades, the risk of a random violent impact from space has increased. 原文:來自隕石的威脅的確是有，但詳細的研究發現這種風險其實很小 3)Since most violent events on Earth occur randomly, nobody can predict when or where they will happen. 我先翻選項: 因為大部分暴力事件是隨機的，所以沒人能預測它何時何地會發生原文: 前半句沒錯，但後半句根本沒提到。這種托福常考-it can be ture, but it is not mentioned 但如果文意沒看很懂，很容易就自己腦補然後覺得選項是對的 4)A few decades ago, Earth became the target of random violent events originating in outer space. 選項:地球在幾十年前成為來自外太空的暴力事件的靶子原文:同1) 那是個現象，只是直到最近幾十年才被人注意到 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.32.208.16
