黃金48篇 Which hand did they use - 英檢

Paragraph 4：
Fractures and other cut marks are another source of evidence.
Right-handed soldiers tend to be wounded on the left. The skeleton of a
40- or 50-year-old Nabatean warrior, buried 2,000 years ago in the Negev
Desert, Israel, had multiple healed fractures to the skull, the left arm,
and the ribs.

7. Which of the following statements about fractures and cut marks can be
inferred from paragraph 4?

○ Fractures and cut marks caused by right-handed soldiers tend to occur
on the right side of the injured party's body.
○ The right arm sustains more injuries because, as the dominant arm, it
is used more actively.
○ In most people, the left side of the body is more vulnerable to injury
since it is not defended effectively by the dominant arm.
○ Fractures and cut marks on fossil humans probably occurred after death.

參考答案是D，但個人是選C

因為選項D整個跳針，Fractures and cut marks 的原因變成occurred after death
而選項C比較合乎邏輯，題目是問infer 所以推測原因必須是和right hand user有關
因此since it is not defended effectively by the dominant arm(right hand)




Paragraph 5：
Tools themselves can be revealing. Long-handed Neolithic
spoons of yew wood preserved in Alpine villages dating to 3000 B.C. have
survived; the signs of rubbing on their left side indicate that their
users were right-handed. The late Ice Age rope found in the French cave of
Lascaux consists of fibers spiraling to the right, and was therefore
tressed by a righthander.


9. In paragraph 5, why does the author mention the Ice Age rope found in
the French cave of Lascaux?

○ As an example of an item on which the marks of wear imply that it was
used by a right-handed person
○ Because tressing is an activity that is easier for a right-handed
person than for a left-handed person
○ Because the cave of Lascaux is the site where researchers have found
several prehistoric tools made for right-handed people
○ As an example of an item whose construction shows that it was right
handed made by a right-person


參考答案是B 個人答案是選D
文章是講冰河時代的robe's fiber spiral to right side
因此證明是又made by right hand

那選項B就很怪異 因為easier for a right handed 是比較意味 但文中並沒有比較

選項D的construction 反而有表現出這個意味..



以上想請問各位有做此篇對於這兩題的看法

感謝
