※ 引述《qweqweqweqwe (啪)》之銘言：
: Paragraph 3
: If true, though, why did cold-blooded animals such as snakes,
: lizards, turtles, and crocodiles survive the freezing winters and torrid
: summers? These animals are at the mercy of the climate to maintain a livable
: body temperature. It’s hard to understand why they would not be affected,
: whereas dinosaurs were left too crippled to "cope", especially if, as some
: scientists believe, dinosaurs were warm-blooded.
: (不會換色用" " 請見諒@@)
: 4. The word cope in the passage is closest in meaning to
: ○adapt
: ○move
: ○continue
: ○compete
: 答案給A
: 我選D
: 應該是給錯了? 查不到adapt的意思 囧
: 另外順便另一題

不要對於翻譯太執著（以後看翻譯請著眼於句意，not word by word）
在這裡，你應該要看看恐龍他們是為什麼而滅種，
是氣候對吧，所以用adapt是很恰當的，
恐龍因為沒辦法適應那麼惡劣的氣候，所以滅亡了。
compete這個字比較是有比賽、較勁的意味，
例如兩黨競爭，兩個公司較勁，或參加什麼比賽，爭奪同一個事物等。
生物和氣候之間，我似乎沒看過使用compete這個字的。
在生物領域裡，我們比較會看到的是species之間compete
再說，生物是永遠不可能和大自然競爭的。
大自然說一是一，說二是二。



: Paragraph 4
: Dissatisfaction with conventional explanations for dinosaur
: extinctions led to a surprising observation that, in turn, has suggested a
: new hypothesis. Many plants and animals disappear abruptly from the fossil
: record as one moves from layers of rock documenting the end of the Cretaceous
: up into rocks representing the beginning of the Cenozoic (the era after the
: Mesozoic). Between the last layer of Cretaceous rock and the first layer of
: Cenozoic rock, there is often a thin layer of clay. Scientists felt that they
: could get an idea of how long the extinctions took by determining how long it
: took to deposit this one centimeter of clay and they thought they could
: determine the time it took to deposit the clay by determining the amount of
: the element iridium (lr) it contained.
: 8. In paragraph 4, all the following questions are answered EXCEPT:
: ○Why is there a layer of clay between the rocks of the Cretaceous and
: Cenozoic?
: ○Why were scientists interested in determining how long it took to deposit
: the layer of clay at the end of the Cretaceous?
: ○What was the effect of the surprising observation scientists made?
: ○Why did scientists want more information about the dinosaur extinctions at
: the end of the Cretaceous?
: 有板友可以幫忙解釋一下嗎
這題問你，那一個問題沒有在這段獲得解答
1.沒有，因為他只有說有夾層沒說明原因
2.有，因為可以知道how long the extinctions took
3.有，第一句說has suggested a new hypothesis.
指的就是a thin layer of clay可以推測滅絕所用的時間這整件事
4.有，第一句說Dissatisfaction with conventional explanations for dinosaur
extinctions 對傳統的解釋不滿才促使了這個surprising observation
