Paragraph 2: This was before the steam locomotive, and canal building was at its height. The companies building the canals to transport coal needed surveyors to help them find the coal deposits worth mining as well as to determine the best courses for the canals. This job gave Smith an opportunity to study the fresh rock outcrops created by the newly dug canal. He later worked on similar jobs across the length and breadth of England all the while studying the newly revealed strata and collecting all the fossils he could find．Smith used mail coaches to travel as much as 10000 miles per year．In 1815 he published the first modern geological map “A Map of the Strata of England and Wales with a Part of Scotland”, map so meticulously researched that it can still be used today． 3. Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 2 about canal building? ○Canals were built primarily in the south of England rather than in other regions． ○Canal building decreased after the steam locomotive was invented． ○Canal building made it difficult to study rock strata which often became damaged in the process． ○Canal builders hired surveyors like Smith to examine exposed rock strata．想請問為什麼答案是二不是四? 就二來看，文章只說是這是在locomotive 出現前，運河建築還是在高峰的時候可是沒有說之後就衰退了啊~"~ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 123.194.204.209 ※ 編輯: tom192180 來自: 123.194.204.209 (09/19 08:32)

可是...文章不是說 The companies building the canals to transport coal needed surveyors to help them find the coal deposits worth mining 而第四選項也提到雇用像Smith 這些人去勘查暴露的岩層(我推測是為了find coal) 我這樣是不是看歪了~"~ 樓上或其他人可不可以再幫我解答一下超感謝你們!!!!哈哈XD" ※ 編輯: tom192180 來自: 140.119.29.61 (09/19 15:06) ※ 編輯: tom192180 來自: 140.119.29.61 (09/19 15:07)
