TPO18Industrialization in the Netherla - 英檢

※ 引述《xu3jp68 (信箱爆炸..XD)》之銘言：
這題是很多同學都會問的高頻題

因為設計中有幾個語言陷阱
: Paragraph 6:The key factor in the success of these countries
: (along with high literacy, which contributed to it) was their ability to
: adapt to the international division of labor determined by the early
: industrializers and to stake out areas of specialization in international
stake out 就是用木樁 標示出土地的邊界

也可以在新聞或事影諞中看到這樣的標題

Police Stake Out Brett Darrow Home
指的是 派出警察 監視.巡邏某個地區

stake out areas of specialization in international markets
for which they were especially well suited.
在國際市場中找到適合自己的定位

: markets for which they were especially well suited. This meant a great
: dependence on international commerce, which had notorious fluctuations;
: but it also meant high returns to those factors of production that were
: fortunate enough to be well placed in times of prosperity. In Sweden exports
: accounted for 18 percent of the national income in 1870, and in 1913,
: 22 percent of a much larger national income. In the early twentieth century,
: Denmark exported 63 percent of its agricultural production: butter, pork
: products, and eggs. It exported 80 percent of its butter, almost all to Great
: Britain, where it accounted for 40 percent of British butter imports.
: 10. Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in
: the highlighted sentence in the passage?
: Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential
: information.
: 1. The early industrializes controlled most of the international economy,
: leaving these countries to stake out new areas of specialization along the
: margins.
leaving these countries to stake out 這是因果句
並不是要強調的重點


: 2. Aided by their high literacy rates these countries were able to claim key
: areas of specialization within established international markets.
claim key areas of = stake out new areas of

claim 要求 主張 有...權力

stake out one's claim 則是 主張自己對...的所有權
: 3. High literacy rates enabled these countries to take over international
: markets and adapt the international division of labor to suit their strengths.
這一句的語氣整個是錯的

take over 是接管 表示取代了之前的工業國家 接管了國際市場
(原文是找到special的定位)

adapt...to suit their strengths
由and前的語意
應該是vt的用法
為了適合...修改 建築.機械.戲劇.小說
修改了國際分工 來適合他們的強項


這個 adapt 根源文的不一樣
adapt to the international division of labor

adapt 當 vi + to + 環境
意思是
適應某個環境

而且是對於新狀況做出不勉強的輕微改變

ex: Young animals adapt quickly to a new environment.
ex: Freshmen adapting quickly to the new environment can
become the key figure in the class quickly.


所以兩個句子的翻譯差很多


: 4. The international division of labor established by the early
: industrializers was suited to these countries, a key factor in their success.
整個沒有提到識字率 錯誤


: 答案是:B
: 看到這題因為發現B沒提到
: "their ability to adapt to the international division of labor determined by
: the early industrializers"
: 相關資訊，C卻兩個都有題到就選C了
: 請問這種highlight很長的句子該怎麼判斷會比較容易呢?
: 感謝幫忙。
