TPO20-Early Settlements in Southwest … - 英檢

※ 引述《sundream11 (10)》之銘言：
: Paragraph 5
: Five centuries later, about 7,700 B.C., a new village rose on the mound. At
: first the inhabitants still hunted gazelle intensively. Then, about 7,000 B.C.,
: within the space of a few generations, they switched abruptly to herding
: domesticated goats and sheep and to growing einkorn, pulses, and other
: cereal grasses. Abu Hureyra grew rapidly until it covered nearly 30 acres. It
: was a close-knit community of rectangular, one-story mud-brick houses, joined
: by narrow lanes and courtyards, finally abandoned about 5,000 B.C.
: 【Many complex factors led to the adoption of the new economies, not only at
: Abu Hureyra, but at many other locations such as Aim Ghazal, also in Syria,
: where goat toe bones showing the telltale marks of abrasion caused by foot
: tethering (binding) testify to early herding of domestic stock.】

很多戰友可能以為句子改寫不好拿分
其實原理不難
1.這是一種句子濃縮 可以把附屬的例子簡化
換言之正確答案並非與原句完全一樣
而是保有原句的大意

2.有些句型可以轉換 但是有些不行
原句如果沒有因果 就不可能改寫成因果句

3.這種句子改寫一部份考文法
另一部份考單字理解

本句核心是
Many complex factors led to the adoption of the new economies,

後面是地點
not only at Abu Hureyra, but at many other locations such as Aim Ghazal,
also in Syria,後面是解釋Syria這個地方的細節
where goat toe bones showing the telltale marks of abrasion caused by foot
tethering (binding) testify to early herding of domestic stock.
這些是畜牧的證據


: 12. Which of the sentences below best express the essential information in
: the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning
: in important ways or leave out essential information.
: 。In many areas besides Abu Hureyra, complex factors led to new economies
: including the herding of domestic stock

您誤會了besides 因為中文的附加與排除是看上下文
除了岳飛 大家都喝了點酒 (岳飛沒有喝) 排除

除了牛肉麵 我還點了炒飯 (我兩種都點了) 附加

besides 通常用來表示除了A之外 , B 也....
除了A, 還B

並沒有排除 Abu Hureyra

but 和 except 則是排除

All but one were here just now.
but 是附加的說明
所以是次要訊息 強調剛剛所有人都在這裡(但是一個沒來)

We go there every day except Sunday. 表示星期天沒去
特別告訴你星期天不一樣

: 。In Aim Ghazal and Syria, domestic stock was more important than it was at
: Abu Hureyra.

這是比較級的句子 原句沒有比較的意思
: 。Once early methods of herding animals improved, new economies were adopted
這是條件句 與時間 Once..., .....
: 。Many complex theories attempt to explain the early domestication of animals.
根本就是只有字很像complex factors 跟 complex theories 無關

其實解句子改寫並不需要很多單字就能瞭解意思
這種題形就是抓句子的大意 還有同意帶換


: 這題我用刪去法刪掉了第一三四個選項候選了第三個
: 但答案是第一個,但文章裡不是說有包含Abu Hureyra嗎??(not only...but...)
: 請問這題是不是沒有答案???非常感謝!!!!!!!
