Ancient Rome and Greece 第七題 - 英檢

在第四行it was the fertile plain of Latium, where the Latins who founded Rome
originated, that created。用It is_______（某事物）是強調語氣的說法，寫文章的人
說，就是這個拉丁平原才孕育了羅馬人以土地為根基的社會，而第7題答案A竟說拉丁人的
經濟是和其他聚落的貿易有關，自然不對，答案B看第4到5行就知道錯了，答案C裡，出題
的人故意把land-based事物，換用了「agriculture農業」這個字，但答案D說的是文章裡
完全沒說到的，要仔細分辨一下才能選出答案C喔！

※ 引述《nash0227 (泡麵冰)》之銘言：
: 請問
: Paragraph 3 Certainly, in trying to explain the Roman phenomenon, one would
: have to place great emphasis on this almost instinct for the territorial
: imperative. Roman priorities lay in the organization, exploitation, and
: defense of their territory. In all probability it was the fertile plain of
: Latium, where the Latins who founded Rome originated, that created the habits
: and skills of landed settlement, landed property, landed economy, landed
: administration, and a land-based society. From this arose the Roman genius
: for military organization and orderly government. In turn, a deep attachment
: to the land, and to the stability which rural life engenders, fostered the
: Roman virtues: gravitas, a sense of responsibility, peitas, a sense of
: devotion to family and country, and iustitia, a sense of the natural order.
: 7. Paragraph 3 suggests which of the following about the people of Latium?
: ○Their economy was based on trade relations with other settlements.
: ○They held different values than the people of Rome.
: ○Agriculture played a significant role in the society.
: ○They possessed unusual knowledge of animal instincts
: 答案是(C)
: 可是本段我找不到有關農業很重要的關鍵字
: 難到是landed settlement, landed property....這些嗎?
: 但這也和農業沒太大關係吧!?
: 麻煩各位解答了
: 謝謝!!
