TPO1 Timberline vegetation and Mountain - 英檢

Table of Contents


: At the upper timberline the trees begin to become twisted and deformed. This
: is particularly true for trees in the middle and upper latitudes, which tend to
: attain greater heights on ridges,whereas in the tropics the trees reach their
: greater heights in the valleys. This is because middle- and upper- latitude
: timberlines are strongly influenced by the duration and depth of the snow
: cover. As the snow is deeper and lasts longer in the valleys, trees tend to
這句話的意思是說:在那些山谷積雪很深的地方(高緯度),樹在山脊上會
長得比較好,你可能搞錯意思了(注意valley&ridge)
: attain greater heights on the ridges, even though they are more exposed to
: high-velocity winds and poor, thin soils there. In the tropics, the valleys
: appear to be more favorable because they are less prone to dry out,
: they have less frost, and they have deeper soils.
: According to paragraph 3, which of the following is true of trees in the
: middle and upper latitudes?
: ○Tree growth is negatively affected by the snow cover in valleys
: ○Tree growth is greater in valleys than on ridges.
: ○Tree growth on ridges is not affected by high-velocity winds.
: ○Tree growth lasts longer in those latitudes than it does in the tropics.
: 答案是A,但我不懂為何有negatively affected,文中說snow越deeper,樹就長越高
: 那不就是positively affected嗎?
基本上affect帶有負面意義 所以不會有positively affect這種用法

: 這題我想很久,覺得每個答案都不行,結果浪費掉超多時間= = 結果還超時 :(
這題要快的話看前面兩句話就可以選了 因為twisted and deformed透出端倪
還有看到upper latitude也是提示
中間那些囉哩叭縮的,反而擾亂你的作答

: 另外,請問每天閱讀錯個3~4題,實戰大概會得幾分?
你說的是每"篇"嗎 三篇下來錯個12題的話 我估計應該是19~22
看你有沒有錯6選3

: 目標至少要有25分啊啊啊!!!!
錯7題(單選)內有機會

: 到底該怎麼提升分數.....平常有看英文新聞的習慣,不知為啥還是錯那麼多@@
practice makes perfect 感覺你應該剛開始練習不久

但還是有點不懂 為何山谷的雪越深 山脊的樹長越好
是negatively affected?!
Mary avatarMary2013-12-18
是說越冷的地方 反而樹長得越好 所以是negative嗎?
