TPO13閱讀-Types of Social Groups - 英檢

引述《sandymirror (好想告訴你,但已經來不及)》之銘言：
: People are bound within relationships by two types of bonds: expressive ties
: and instrumental ties. Expressive ties are social links formed when we
: emotionally invest ourselves in and commit ourselves to other people. Through
: association with people who are meaningful to us, we achieve a sense of
: security, love, acceptance, companionship, and personal worth. Instrumental
: ties are social links formed when we cooperate with other people to achieve
: some goal. Occasionally, this may mean working with instead of against
: competitors. More often, we simply cooperate with others to reach some end
: without endowing the relationship with any larger significance.
: 4. Which of the following can be inferred about instrumental ties from the
: author's mention of
: working with competitors in paragraph 2?
: ○ Instrumental ties can develop even in situations in which people would
: normally not cooperate.
: ○ Instrumental ties require as much emotional investment as expressive ties.
: ○ Instrumental ties involve security, love, and acceptance.
: ○ Instrumental ties should be expected to be significant.
這題出的很標準 答案是A
請看一下問題instrumental ties (請找文章)
然後請不要急著選 這其實就是標準騙人法
接下來有說 from the author's mention of working with competitors
也就是說 請定位到
文章討論Instrumental ties 的地方
1.一定有出選項討論的是另一方面的expressive ties
這些選項通常是錯誤的
除非文章中有說道 這兩個情況是相反的 此時把原來的敘述加上not
或是否定字就會是正確選項

2.問題是working with competitors 選項D並不是再談這個 而是談到Instrumental ties
在看一下 有兩個危險的關鍵字 should be / must/all 此類的字通常有危險
另外提到significant 剛好是閱讀段落的最後一個字
如果不定位的話就會被騙了
因為抓住最後一個印象 是人性的弱點

3.其實這篇講的就是電視劇情常常出現的
雖然我們過去是敵人 不過這次讓我們合作吧...

: 這題答案是A
: 我原本是選D
: 我很明顯知道C、D錯的地方
: 原本認為不是A是因為 not cooperate,我覺得不是not
: 後來檢討知道D是錯在More often, we simply cooperate with others to reach some end
: without endowing the relationship with any larger significance.
: 那請問A答案 not cooperate的線索去哪邊找呢?
: 感謝
