The Geologic History of the Mediterranean (TPO-7)

題目過長，恕略



3. What does the author imply by saying “Not a single pebble was found that
might have indicated that the pebbles came from the nearby continent”?
○ The most obvious explanation for the origin of the pebbles was not
supported by the evidence.
○ The geologists did not find as many pebbles as they expected.
○ The geologists were looking for a particular kind of pebble.
○ The different pebbles could not have come from only one source.

這題我在閱讀時，讀到 Not a single pebble was found that
might have indicated that the pebbles came from the nearby continent
這句的時候就覺得很突兀，也不曉得根本提答案A有何關係。

10. Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in
the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important
ways or leave out essential information.
○ The Strait of Gibraltar reopened when the Mediterranean and the Atlantic
became connected and the cascades of water from one sea to the other caused crustal
adjustments and faulting.
● The Mediterranean was dramatically refilled by water from the Atlantic
when crustal adjustments and faulting opened the Strait of Gibraltar, the place where the
two seas are joined.
○ The cascades of water from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean were not as
spectacular as the crustal adjustments and faulting that occurred when the Strait of
Gibraltar was connected to those seas.
○ As a result of crustal adjustments and faulting and the creation of the
Strait of Gibraltar, the Atlantic and Mediterranean were connected and became a single sea with
spectacular cascades of water between them.

本題答案是B，但是我不曉得為何D不行?
