原文恕刪第一次發文,有任何錯誤麻煩指證謝謝!! ------------------------------ 我是分隔線 ---------------------------------- 3. What does the author imply by saying "Not a single pebble was found that might have indicated that the pebbles came from the nearby continent"? ○ The most obvious explanation for the origin of the pebbles was not supported by the evidence. ○ The geologists did not find as many pebbles as they expected. ○ The geologists were looking for a particular kind of pebble. ○ The different pebbles could not have come from only one source. 解釋如下: 其中句子中第一個that是指 a single pebble 所以這句話的意思是說: 在被發現的那些 pebbles 當中沒有任何一個 pebble 指出那些 pebbles 是來自於鄰近的大陸因此由 came from the nearby continent 可以知道作者是指來源不是來自鄰近的大陸或者是由上下文的關係來看第三段中的 With question such as these clearly before them 中的 question 知道那些問題就是指第二段最後提到的問題都是在探討來源所以,這兩個段落的關係是:第二段提出問題,第三段應為做出相應的回答因此,第三段的內容應與第二段的問題是有相互聯繫的,支持或反對而這句話的意思就是打破關於巨石來源的解釋所以 Ans. 為 (A) 10. 原句如下: As a result of crustal adjustments and faulting, the Strait of Gibraltar, where the Mediterranean now connects to the Atlantic, opened, and water cascaded spectacularly back into the Mediterranean. 大致翻譯如下: 因為地殼調整和斷層作用,所以連接地中海和大西洋的直布羅陀海峽被打開並且有瀑布般的水流,壯觀地流入地中海所以這句話的關鍵應在 1. 因果關係 (adjustment and faulting → Strait of Gibraltar) 2. 答案應包含 adjustment and faulting、Strait of Gibralter water back into Mediterranean ○ The strait of Gibraltar reopened when the Mediterranean and the Atlantic became connected and the cascades of water from one sea to the other caused crustal adjustments and faulting. Strait of Gibralter → adjustment and faulting (因果關係不對) ○ The Mediterranean was dramatically refilled by water from the Atlantic when crustal adjustments and faulting opened the Strait of Gibraltar, the place where the two seas are joined. refilled by water 對應 water back into when 在這裡相當於『因為』所以前後的因果關係為: adjustment and faulting → Strait of Gibralter ○ The cascades of water from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean were not as spectacular as the crustal adjustments and faulting that occurred when the Strait of Gibraltar was connected to those seas. 原句中沒有提到 cascades of water 和 crustal adjustments and faulting 的比較 (not as... as...) ○ As a result of crustal adjustments and faulting and the creation of the Strait of Gibraltar, the Atlantic and Mediterranean were connected and became a single sea with spectacular cascades of water between them. 因為 adjustments and faulting 和 creation of the Strait of Gibraltar 所以 Atlantic and Mediterranean 連起來了,而且變成有cascades of water 的 single sea 在它們 (Atlantic and Mediterranean) 之間解釋如下: 1. 原句沒有提到creation,所以不正確 2. 原句是有cascades of water流回地中海,而不是有cascades of water 的 single sea 所以Ans. 為 (B) -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 61.230.12.30 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/TOEFL_iBT/M.1430074726.A.487.html
