TPO26的一題"換句話說"題 - 英檢

Table of Contents

最近做了最新釋出的TPO26(在ETS官網上買的線上模考)

感覺這一回的閱讀有很多文意題都不太好選

也讓我R的部分創下做約十回TPO以來的新低 Orz

其中有一題"換句話說題"想請教各位:

文章講的是動植物適應沙漠的的方式

Animals also have to adapt to desert conditions, and they may do it through

two forms of behavioral adaptation: they either escape or retreat.

"Escape involves such actions as aestivation, a condition of prolonged

dormancy, or torpor, during which animals reduce their metabolic rate and

body temperature during the hot season or during very dry spells."

個人覺得有兩個選項都很像正確答案

(1) The actions that uses to escape are known as aestivation, which sometimes

involves a reduction in metabolic rate or body temperature.

(2) One way animals escape is by entering a state of extended dormancy, known

as aestivation, during the hottest and driest times of year.






正確答案是(2)

但個人覺得兩者雖然對原句的截取重點稍有不同,但都算能反映原句的邏輯及精髓

煩請各位解惑,感恩~~

aestivation跟torpor是兩個方法
第一個答案把兩個混在一起說得不清不楚

了解,感恩~~我把torpor誤認為是前面的同位語了
