閱讀段落原文:

The greater reliability of food supplies was a factor in the decline of urban
death rates. Even more important were the gains in urban sanitation, as well
as measures such as inspection of housing. Reformers, including enlightened
doctors, began to study the causes of high death rates and to urge
remediation. Even before the discovery of germs, beliefs that disease spread
by "miasmas" (noxious forms of bad air) prompted attention to sewers and open
garbage; Edwin Chadwick led an exemplary urban crusade for underground sewers
in England in the 1830s. Gradually, public health provisions began to cut
into customary urban mortality rates. By 1900, in some parts of
Western,Europe life expectancy in the cities began to surpass that of the
rural areas. Industrial societies had figured out ways to combine large and
growing cities with population growth, a development that would soon spread
to other parts of the world.

題目:

(1) Which of the following can be inferred from paragraph 6 about underground
sewers
(A)They became common in most of Western Europe in the 1830s.
(B)They helped reduce deaths caused by disease in cities.
(C)They led to the discovery that disease could be caused by germs.
(D)They encouraged people to leave rural areas and move to the cities.

考滿分上面答案是(A)

我是選(B)


解釋如下:

此題為infer

underground sewers定位到Edwin Chadwick led an exemplary urban crusade for
underground sewers in England in the 1830s 這句話

我們可以知道,E.C 在1830s 的英國,領導一個示範的城市進行一場下水道的改革運動

(A) They became common in most of Western Europe in the 1830s.

因為示範城市進行了這場運動,可以推論出其他城市很有可能也會隨之仿效

而且前一句有提到,在發現germs之前,他們認為疾病是由miasmas所導致的,促使他們

關注在下水道和開放式的垃圾場

所以,underground sewers 變得很常見是有可能的


(B) They helped reduce deaths caused by disease in cities.

這句對應到 Gradually, public health provisions began to cut into customary

urban mortality rates.

但是這句話的主詞是public health provisions,而不是題目所問的 underground sewers

所指的對象錯誤


因此Ans. 為 (A)
