TPO18 閱讀-Industrialization in the Netherlands - 英檢

The political institutions of the four countries posed no significant
barriers to industrialization or economic growth. The nineteenth century
passed relatively peacefully for these countries, with progressive
democratization taking place in all of them. They were reasonably well
governed, without notable corruption or grandiose state projects, although in
all of them the government gave some aid to railways, and in Sweden the state
built the main lines. As small countries dependent on foreign markets, they
followed a liberal trade policy in the main, though 【a protectionist
movement developed in Sweden】. In Denmark and Sweden agricultural reforms
took place gradually from the late eighteenth century through the first half
of the nineteenth, resulting in a new class of peasant landowners with a
definite market orientation.

9.The author includes the information that【a protectionist movement developed

in Sweden】in order to

A.support the claim that the political institution of the four countries posed

on significant barriers to industrialization or economic growth

B.identify an exception to the general trend favoring liberal trade policy


正解:B

我想知道選B的線索為何?

是因為只有瑞典發展了貿易保護運動，而其他國家沒有嗎?


第二篇：The mystery of yawning

Another flaw of the tiredness theory is that yawning does not raise alertness
or physiological activity, as the theory would predict. When researchers
measured the heart rate, muscle tension and skin conductance of people
before, during and after yawning, they did detect some changes in skin
conductance following yawning, indicating a slight increase in physiological
activity. However, similar changes occurred when the subjects were asked
simply to open their mouths or to breathe deeply. Yawning did nothing special
to their state of physiological activity. Experiments have also cast serious
doubt on the belief that yawning is triggered by a drop in blood oxygen or a
rise in blood carbon dioxide. ■ Volunteers were told to think about yawning
while they breathed either normal air, pure oxygen, or an air mixture with an
above-normal level of carbon dioxide.■ If the theory was correct, breathing
air with extra carbon dioxide should have triggered yawning, while breathing
pure oxygen should have suppressed yawning.■ In fact, neither condition made
any difference to the frequency of yawning, which remained constant at about
24 yawns per hour. ■ Another experiment demonstrated that physical exercise,
which was sufficiently vigorous to double the rate of breathing, had no
effect on the frequency of yawning Again the implication is that yawning has
little or nothing to do with oxygen.
