TPO1 Timberline Vegetation on Mountains - 英檢

Table of Contents

Paragraph 1:The transition from forest to treeless tundra on a mountain
slope is often a dramatic one. Within a vertical distance of just a few tens
of meters, trees disappear as a life-form and are replaced by low shrubs,
herbs, and grasses. This rapid zone of transition is called the upper
timberline or tree line. In many semiarid areas there is also a lower
timberline where the forest passes into steppe or desert at its lower edge,
usually because of a lack of moisture.

3. Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 1 about both the
upper and lower timberlines?
1 Both are treeless zones
2 Both mark forest boundaries.
3 Both are surrounded by desert areas.
4 Both suffer from a lack of moisture.


請問一下,答案是2
但是我實在不懂為什麼1不行,應該是我沒有讀懂,
在選答案的時候,就是覺得1和2都對,
麻煩高手解答一下
感謝感謝。

述會發現真的treeless的地方其實是tundra/steppe/deser

timberline 下面的區域就變成steppe desert 這個概念

也有跟"edge"呼應 我不曉得這對你有沒有幫助 不過我看
第二次的體會是這樣^^"

重點是transition這個單字,timberline是從有樹木到沒樹
的一條界線,所以是forest boundaries

不過要解釋的話,應該是lower timberline無法infer出
Ida avatarIda2010-10-16
我覺得他是一個從多到少的過渡區域 所以真正treeless的應該

是desert之類的,timberline只是開始變小顆,沒說變少
