TPO閱測 Meteorite Impact and Dinosau … - 英檢

※ 引述《chime0515 (我愛劉德華)》之銘言：
: 懇請指教 平時閱測不會錯這麼多 這篇大暴走
: 檢討剩兩題百思不得其解 懇請幫忙
: Paragraph 2: If an impact is large enough, it can disturb the environment of
: the entire Earth and cause an ecological catastrophe. The best-documented
: such impact took place 65 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous
: period of geological history. This break in Earth's history is marked by a
: mass extinction, when as many as half the species on the planet became
: extinct. While there are a dozen or more mass extinctions in the geological
: record, the Cretaceous mass extinction has always intrigued paleontologists
: because it marks the end of the age of the dinosaurs. For tens of millions of
: years, those great creatures had flourished. Then, suddenly, they disappeared.
: 2. In paragraph 2, why does the author include the information that dinosaurs
: had flourished for tens of millions of years and then suddenly disappeared?
: ○To support the claim that the mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous
: is the best-documented of the dozen or so mass extinctions in the geological
: record
: ○To explain why as many as half of the species on Earth at the time are
: believed to have become extinct at the end of the Cretaceous
: ○To explain why paleontologists have always been intrigued by the mass
: extinction at the end of the Cretaceous
: ○To provide evidence that an impact can be large enough to disturb the
: environment of the entire planet and cause an ecological disaster
: 我選4，為什麼4不行? (答案為3)

題目是指為什麼作者談論到dinosaurs的興趣跟絕種，答案就在最後的一個關鍵字because
，就可知道在解釋因果的關係。

: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
: Paragraph 6: Impacts by meteorites represent one mechanism that could cause
: global catastrophes and seriously influence the evolution of life all over
: the planet. █According to some estimates, the majority of all extinctions of
: species may be due to such impacts. █Such a perspective fundamentally
: changes our view of biological evolution. █The standard criterion for the
: survival of a species is its success in competing with other species and
: adapting to slowly changing environments. █Yet an equally important
: criterion is the ability of a species to survive random global ecological
: catastrophes due to impacts.
: 13. Look at the four squares [█] that indicate where the following sentence
: can be added to the passage.
: This is the criterion emphasized by Darwin's theory of evolution by natural
: selection.
: Where would the sentence best fit?
: 為什麼答案是3? 我選4。 因為空格4前面有提到criterion，放在空格4
: "This is the criterion...." 感覺比較不突兀
: 感謝幫忙 謝謝!


選項3一開始也有提到The standard criterion，你忽略了選項4的一個字an equally
important criterion的equally(一個同等重要的標準)，所以答案選3，先在3中插入一個
由Darwin’s所強調的準則，之後用2個舉例來說明。
