[討論] SC 987 NO. 18--典型考語意題目

[Grace]

18.A peculiar feature of the embryonic mammalian circulatory system is that in the area of the heart the cells adhere to one another, beating in unison and adopting specialized orientations exclusive of one another.
(A) beating in unison and adopting
(B) they beat in unison while adopting
(C) beat in unison, and adopt
(D) beating in unison yet adopting
(E) even though they beat in unison and adopt


這題的答案是D (有語氣轉折) 但是我選A (平鋪直敘). ETS真是高竿阿. 答題者若不清楚整句欲表達的語意, 則很難選出正確答案D.

想請教一下大家遇到這種題型, 在語意無法100%掌握的情況下, 該如何選出正確答案呢?? :|

失敗中的失敗
我也選了a...

[Grace]

大家不要這麼frustrated 嘛!! 這樣不就讓ETS得逞嗎?? 快快想辦法 一起戰勝ETS~

答案是d，頗不以為然，有更好的解釋嗎
坦白說， 句意用A解也不見得有錯呢，就差在一個轉折

[魚]

:'( 哀唷.......

爲啥 大家都選A , why why why ?

我覺德C 也很漂亮啊 (姑且不管句意 )

(FF) 魚寶寶(FF) .....C的話動詞變成有三個喔.....

請看that子句裡已經有一個adhere是動詞了.....所以後面的beat和adopt應該是連接詞省略的分詞結構.....

這樣了解嗎? ;)

唉唉這題我做的時候在A跟D之間猶豫.....後來選了A.....反正我就是看不懂句意啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦 :-S

這一題讓我想到OG的兩題，請大家先別管原題答案，就從結構文法分析即可
第一題是163題

163.Found throughout Central and South America, sloths hang from trees by long rubbery limbs and sleep fifteen hours a day, moving infrequently enough that two species of algae grow on its coat and between its toes.
(A) sloths hang from trees by long rubbery limbs and sleep fifteen hours a day, moving infrequently enough
(B) sloths hang from trees by long rubbery limbs, they sleep fifteen hours a day, and with such infrequent movements
(C) sloths use their long rubbery limbs to hang from trees, sleep fifteen hours a day, and move so infrequently
(D) the sloth hangs from trees by its long rubbery limbs, sleeping fifteen hours a day and moving so infrequently
(E) the sloth hangs from trees by its long rubbery limbs, sleeps fifteen hours a day, and it moves infrequently enough

還有185題
185.The recent surge in the number of airplane flights has clogged the nation’s air-traffic control system, to lead to 55 percent more delays at airports, and prompts fears among some officials that safety is being compromised.
(A) to lead to 55 percent more delays at airports, and prompts
(B) leading to 55 percent more delay at airports and prompting
(C) to lead to a 55 percent increase in delay at airports and prompt
(D) to lead to an increase of 55 percent in delays at airports, and prompted
(E) leading to a 55-percent increase in delays at airports and prompting

如果各位兄弟姐妹覺得可以比照，那麼，選A的話，就真的是雖敗猶榮了
但如果根本是我亂舉例，舉錯例，你們也要告訴我喔

這題我覺得關鍵大家都是卡在a跟d...
那麼剩下就是句意的問題了

首先如果在做題時有注意到peculiar這個字...
那麼往後看劃線部分時在注意到unison 跟後面的specialied...exclusive of one another
如果這些字都可以明確掌握意思的話...

那麼大概就可以選到d有轉折語氣的yet...

嗯...我同意你的看法, 這題做對的的關鍵在於是否能找出"語氣轉折"
而要找出語氣轉折其實仔細審視這個句子是有端倪可尋, 首先是peculiar 這個字, 指出是一個奇怪的feature, 再來ahdere to one another 與exclusive of one another 具有明顯對比的意味....大家是否注意到呢 ??

對應這種題型, 其實我有一個小小結論, 就是從單字或phrase關鍵字著手, 試著找出句中這些關鍵字扮演的角色為何, 與main idea有何關聯,eg. 是否有對比意味
因為作者在做word choice的時候 一定有他的理由存在. ;)

大家認為呢?

[魚]

(c)的話動詞變成有三個喔.....

恩 我唸傻了 竟然享用3個動詞作平衡

既然如此 那只好選D 嚕

恩 grace ....... (FF)(FF)(FF) 你的想法很細膩耶 ^^

但是........... (以下纯抱怨 , 時間緊迫者 禁 !)

我覺得比較麻煩的是 ,細細的答題或檢討時 ,大家應該都OK (脫線演出除外)

但是考試的時候 , 一看到平衡題 ,通常 不到一分鐘 ,就給她選答案了吧

(為了爭取時間給RC)

AT 之路兮 ~~~艱難哉......
