Q9 to Q12:
The sloth bear, an insect-eating
animal native to Nepal, exhibits only one
behavior that is truly distinct from that of
Line other bear species: the females carry
(5) their cubs (at least part-time) until the
cubs are about nine months old, even
though the cubs can walk on their own
at six months. Cub-carrying also occurs
among some other myrmecophagous
(10) (ant-eating) mammals; therefore, one
explanation is that cub-carrying is
necessitated by myrmecophagy, since
myrmecophagy entails a low metabolic
rate and high energy expenditure in
(15) walking between food patches. How-
ever, although polar bears’ locomotion
is similarly inefficient, polar bear cubs
walk along with their mother. Further-
more, the daily movements of sloth
(20) bears and American black bears—
which are similar in size to sloth bears
and have similar-sized home ranges—
reveal similar travel rates and distances,
suggesting that if black bear cubs are
(25) able to keep up with their mother, so
too should sloth bear cubs.
An alternative explanation is defense
from predation. Black bear cubs use
trees for defense, whereas brown bears
(30) and polar bears, which regularly inhabit
treeless environments, rely on aggres-
sion to protect their cubs. Like brown
bears and polar bears (and unlike other
myrmecophagous mammals, which are
(35) noted for their passivity), sloth bears
are easily provoked to aggression.
Sloth bears also have relatively large
canine teeth, which appear to be more
functional for fighting than for foraging.
(40) Like brown bears and polar bears,
sloth bears may have evolved in an
environment with few trees. They are
especially attracted to food-rich
grasslands; although few grasslands
(45) persist today on the Indian subcontinent,
this type of habitat was once wide-
spread there. Grasslands support
high densities of tigers, which fight and
sometimes kill sloth bears; sloth bears
(50) also coexist with and have been killed
by tree-climbing leopards, and are often
confronted and chased by rhinoceroses
and elephants, which can topple trees.
Collectively these factors probably
(55) selected against tree-climbing as a
defensive strategy for sloth bear cubs.
Because sloth bears are smaller than
brown and polar bears and are under
greater threat from dangerous animals,
(60) they may have adopted the extra pre-
caution of carrying their cubs. Although
cub-carrying may also be adoptive for
myrmecophagous foraging, the behavior
of sloth bear cubs, which climb on their
(65) mother’s back at the first sign of danger,
suggests that predation was a key
stimulus.
Q11為何不能選E阿?
Q11: Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the author’s argument in lines 18-26 (“Furthermore … sloth bear cubs”)?
A. Cub-carrying behavior has been observed in many non-myrmecophagous mammals.
B. Many of the largest myrmecophagous mammals do not typically exhibit cub-carrying behavior.
C. Some sloth bears have home ranges that are smaller in size than the average home ranges of black bears.
D. The locomotion of black bears is significantly more efficient than the locomotion of sloth bears.
E. The habitat of black bears consists of terrain that is significantly more varied than that of the habitat of sloth bears.

Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the author’s argument in lines 18-26 (“Furthermore … sloth bear cubs”)?
下列何者反對作者那幾行的論述
那幾行講既然體型,移動範圍,頻率,跟距離都相近
應該也用走的才對
要反對就是其實S雄與黑熊確有不同
A. Cub-carrying behavior has been observed in many non-myrmecophagous mammals.
非M哺乳類也被發現有C行為-超出範圍,無關
B. Many of the largest myrmecophagous mammals do not typically exhibit cub-carrying behavior.
很多最大型的M不做C行為-無關
C. Some sloth bears have home ranges that are smaller in size than the average home ranges of black bears.
一些S雄家比黑熊小
指棲居地
文章已經講大致相同
提出個案完全沒用
D. The locomotion of black bears is significantly more efficient than the locomotion of sloth bears.
黑熊的移動比S雄移動有效率很多
因此黑熊可以用走的
S雄不行-直接weaken
E. The habitat of black bears consists of terrain that is significantly more varied than that of the habitat of sloth bears.
黑熊組成領域的棲居地比S雄的棲居地變化來的大
也就是黑熊可以適應更不同的環境
但是他們的體型,移動距離跟頻率等還是一樣
即使可棲居各種環境
並不能代表蛇麼
黑熊可以用走的
S雄也還是可以用走的捏~

恩
看起來是速度才對
要邊看邊take note
才不會亂
練多了自然知道哪些要take note
這篇小弟畫了四個簡圖
大概像下面這樣
pb-aggre/cw走
abb-travel-size/travel
sb大C牙-fight
不好意思
不會用電腦畫

sb就是主角
有時小弟take note時會用一個簡易中文或圖畫
會比英文更快也更貼切
重點是做題時看的董而且要能快速take note
小弟認識不少上七百或接近的高手
根本不take note
小弟無預設立場
只要能抓老鼠就是好貓
各位請自行斟酌
小弟個人記憶力頗差
若不take note
即使文章快速掃完
反而常常被回文定位害慘
