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
