※ 引述《qweqweqweqwe (啪)》之銘言:
: Paragraph 1:
: In 1769 in a little town in Oxfordshire, England, a child with
: the very ordinary name of William Smith was born into the poor family of a
: village blacksmith. He received rudimentary village schooling but mostly he
: roamed his uncle's farm collecting the fossils that were so abundant in the
: rocks of the Cotswold hills.When he grew older William Smith taught himself
: surveying from books he bought with his small savings and at the age of
: eighteen he was apprenticed to a surveyor of the local parish. He then
: proceeded to teach himself geology and when he was twenty-four, he went to
: work for the company that was excavating the Somerset Coal Canal in the south
: of England.
: 2. According to paragraph 1 which of the following statements about William
: Smith is NOT true?
: ○Smith learned surveying by reading and by apprenticing for a local surveyor
: ○Smith’s family lived in a small English town and possessed little wealth.
: ○Smith learned about fossils from books he borrowed from his uncle.
: ○Smith eventually left his village to work on the excavation of an English
: canal.
: 雖然好像有點蠢
: 但是B選項 little wealth = poor 嗎 囧 直覺想到小康
: 看到就選了
: 為了時間的關係
: 連C都沒看
: 雖然後來看C錯的比較明顯

不要用台灣方式來思考比較好喔
在這裡little不是小的意思
是"少"的意思
表示他們擁有很少的財富=不太有錢
有很多名詞用little來形容就會變成這種情形
像是little care 就是說沒什麼憂慮,而不是小憂慮...

小康的話,通常來說都已經表示過得不錯了
可能會用moderately prosperous或well-off,-better-off等等來形容

我想知道網路或市面上有沒有會幫你整理出真題的高頻單詞和同義字的單字書? 類似 excerbate= intensify eradicate= extinguish 這樣比較容易背誦....也比較符合ibt閱讀單字題的出題精神.... 不知道有沒有呢? 感謝大家 - ...
