閱讀真題56篇中的第55篇Maya Water Pro … - 英檢

※ 引述《backfuture (斬鐵)》之銘言：
: 之中的第六題
: 6. Which of the following statements about the availability of water
: in the Mayan homeland is supported by paragraph 3?
: (A) The construction of wells was an uncommon practice in both the north
: and the south because it was too difficult to dig through the karst.
: (B) In most areas in the north and the south, rainwater was absorbed directly
: into the porous karst.
: (C) The water table was an important resource for agriculture in both
: the north and the south of the Yucatan Peninsula.
: (D) The lack of surface water in both the north and the south was probably
: due to the fact that most of it was quickly used up for agricultural purposes.
: 答案給B~
: 請問為什麼答案不是C呢?文中並沒有提到rainwater在北邊地區的問題呀@@!!!

爬文看了一下,跟原PO一樣選C也錯了這題,但仔細回文發現B才是正確

以下是個人淺見

關鍵在對本段(第三段)最後一句裡Yucatan Peninsula的理解,

這裡是指整個半島包括了南北,因此B成立

C的錯誤在於用字不精準,water table不是資源而是一個名詞--"地下水位"之類的

若替換成"underground freshwater"則B才是正確答案
