組長問一下~~
A company plans to develop a prototype weeding machine that uses cutting blades with optical sensors and microprocessors that distinguish weeds from crop plants by differences in shade of color. The inventor of the machine claims that it will reduce labor costs by virtually eliminating the need for manual weeding.

Which of the following is a consideration in favor of the company’s implementing its plan to develop the prototype?

A. There is a considerable degree of variation in shade of color between weeds of different species.
B. The shade of color of some plants tends to change appreciably over the course of their growing season.
C. When crops are weeded manually, overall size and leaf shape are taken into account in distinguishing crop plants from weeds.
D. Selection and genetic manipulation allow plants of virtually any species to be economically bred to have a distinctive shade of color without altering their other characteristics.
E. Farm laborers who are responsible for the manual weeding of crops carry out other agricultural duties at times in the growing season when extensive weeding is not necessary.
該題本組意見不一~請高手幫忙解惑~^^

題目說 : 有一個公司發明了一個機器如何如何 ,然後聲稱這個機器可以節省人力成本 (大概的意思啦, 懶的打了 ,需要翻譯再說唄 ^^)

題目問 假設 , 為什麼 公司可以這樣claim ?

我的答題技巧是這樣 : 迅速回視關於機器的描述 ,發現跟顏色如何如何有關
於是挑了ABD 來看
發現只有D能架橋 ,就選D啦

我覺得這道題出的狠標準 ,就是ETS的味道耶 ~

你的疑問題是什麼呢 ? 大家一起來討論吧 ^^

不過 b 選也有 colorㄚ

以下是我表弟的想法"I'm not sure which sections were bolded, but I think the answer should be B:

The first is a consideration raised to explain the appeal of a certain
strategy;
the second is a consideration raised to call into question the wisdom
of adopting
that strategy.


This part "explains the appeal of a certain strategy":

"Because technological advances tend to be quickly surpassed and
companies want to make large profits while they still can, many
companies charge the greatest price the market will bear when they
have such a product."



This part "calls into question the wisdom of adopting that strategy":

"Consequently, the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new
product is to charge less than the greatest possible price."

不過他也是在不確定的情況下回信給我的........你說的也有道理~~因為不好找答案

帕謝 vince , 最近都沒游過來 ^^

關於 B , 是醬的

題目是說 發明了新的除草機, 可以感光啦 區別顏色啦 .除草的時候可以靠著顏色的不同自動區分作物與雜草, 所以節省人力成本. (好像蠻讚的發明)

(B) The shade of color of some plants tends to change appreciably over the course of their growing season

B )是一個 無相關的選項 : 選項中說的是 some plants :有些作物是這樣,至於其他作物如何 ? 不得而知 .光這點就可以砍掉B了. :D


繼續討論 唄^^

I agree with fish opinion.
(B) seems irrelevent.
We should connect between weed and crop plant.
B does not mention

我的看法是B 選項 是disapprove 這個發明的 consideration, instead of an
approval one. 而選項C 則是support/ in favor of 這個發明的consideration. because the color of weeds is controllable by genetic manipulation. ;)

應該是選項D喔

透過人為選種及基因控制，讓crops有著相同的顏色，support the argument,
and benefit for the use of this type of weeding machine as well

[freshmanduke]

.
I also agree with the choice D.
but another problem pops up when I review the problem.
Since the product can discern different colors among those crops of different spieces.
A. There is a considerable degree of variation in shade of color between weeds of different species
The answer A may be right althought I am not so sure.
I would like to ask why A can not be the answer?
thanks

[Calvin]

To freshmanduke

A only mentions about the shade of color weeds of differnet species.

The machine must be able to distinguish WEEDS from CROP PLANTS instead of from weeds.

So A doesn't tell us the machine can successfully do so.

ETS is so tricky. I almost fall into the trap
Anyway,
thank for your help,Calvin.

問個笨問題
為什麼E不行呢?

[吳]

To FionaV:
1.此公司計劃發展 a prototype
2.創造者宣稱藉由去除"手工除雜草"可以節省人力成本

問題:公司發展 the prototype要考慮什麼?

(e)我覺得這句話是事實(=廢話)--->2
此公司該考慮的事應該是"prototype"---->1

我的腦筋有點轉不過來,請問為什麼透過人為選種及基因控制，讓crops有著相同的顏色就會有助於這個鋤草機的發明呢?
謝謝回答

謝謝回答

因為這題主要是"ㄧ個機器靠different colors去區隔weeds and crop plants"
如果all crop plants能夠被我們控制都變成一種color(姑且稱為A color)的話
那只要不是A color的其他colors(皆weeds)都可以被機器割除
這樣這台機器的使用就比較方便,也可以減少labors cost

以上是我的想法~~請指教囉~~

[pimi]

想請問一下
B選項中提到的the course of their growing season中的course是翻成什麼阿??
