[blacklilu]

Although the earliest surviving Greek inscriptions written in an alphabet date from the eighth century B.C., a strong case can be made that the Greeks actually adopted alphabetic writing at least two centuries earlier. Significantly, the text of these earliest surviving Greek inscriptions sometimes runs from right to left and sometimes from left to right. Now, the Greeks learned alphabetic writing from the Phoenicians, and in the process they would surely have adopted whatever convention the Phoenicians were then using with respect to the direction of writing. Originally, Phoenician writing ran in either direction, but by the eighth century B.C. it had been consistently written from right to left for about two centuries.

In the argument given, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

A.The first is the position that the argument seeks to establish; the second reports a discovery that has been used to support a position that the argument opposes.

B.The first is the position that the argument seeks to establish; the second presents an assumption on which the argument relies.

C.The first presents evidence that is used in support of the position that the argument seeks to establish; the second presents an assumption on which the argument relies.

D.The first is an objection raised against a position that the argument opposes; the second is the position that the argument seeks to establish.

E.The first is an objection raised against a position that the argument opposes; the second is evidence that has been used to support that position.

請教B and C , tks .

坦白說，實際考試不止考英文，還考細心
你能選到C就很不錯了，和B差在哪裡，就差在第一段是不是證據
我想你再讀一次
你就會發現這是證據還是argument...

bf題就是小型閱讀

看慢一點好

[simommmm]

我選的是A 不過其實我只確定第一句是個arguement
之後的句子 我每一句都看得懂 卻不懂每一句之間到底有何關係
能否進一步解釋 第二句為什麼會是整個論點的assumption呢

[liwuu]

Now, the Greeks learned alphabetic writing from the Phoenicians, and in the process they would surely have adopted whatever convention the Phoenicians were then using with respect to the direction of writing.

如果沒有第二個BF的話,我們就無法推論說the Greeks actually adopted alphabetic writing at least two centuries earlier!!

[fiona]

有沒有大大能夠翻譯一下
Originally, Phoenician writing ran in either direction, but by the eighth century B.C. it had been consistently written from right to left for about two centuries.
偶俗再有看沒有懂說

[Calvin]

通常，P人的書寫方式是二邊都有的，但是p人固定維持由右至左的書寫方式約二個世紀直到西元前第八世紀

FYI

[jesseboy]

不好意思
我這一題還是不大懂
為何第二句的bf可以當成前提呀
我翻譯是這樣
他們將會接受p那時候的書寫傳統
這樣子跟他提早2年有啥關係呢!!

[Belief]

我感覺
到了這個層次
應該都是要用英文授課了
老實講
有些東西不應該還停在理解句意的層次

[ijac]

我也不太懂耶

The earlist text(2 centries before 8 B.C.) of the Greek inscriptions sometimes runs from right to left and sometimes from left to right.

The Greek adopted the direction of writing form the Phoenicians.

The Phoenicians writing is form right to left for 2 centries before 8 B.C.

==> Why the 2nd bold face sentence is the assumption of the 1st bold face sentence?

[hcgh]

前題:
1. 800B.C.就有希臘字母的存在，文字是雙向的
2. 600B.C.以前腓尼基人的字母是雙向的.
3. 600B.C.以後腓尼基人的字母是單向的
4. 希臘文字是學腓尼基人的

推得結論:
早在600B.C.之前, 希臘人就開始使用這些字母

本題考缺什麼assumption？

assumption:
希臘文的方向也是學腓尼基人的

咦 我這題解題的方法很快耶 跟大家不太一樣... 有點小技巧...

看完題目... 真長.. 囉哩嚕嗦... 第二行看到"WOULD" ... ok, 這應該是假設法 (沒有if也可以是假設法... 莫杯杯說的), compare ABCDE五選項, BC提到assumption, 保留。
compare 1st bold face: although 後面帶入的句子: although A+v+o, B+V+O ==> B為作者想告訴讀者的重點. 選項B 可以接受.

選項C: 它說第一句 presents evidence that is used in supoprt... EVIDENCE 在哪阿... 依句意, 第一句比較像是一個statement rather than an evidence吧. 沒看到什麼concrete example. C不好.

選B吧, B對了. 又快

哇！用關鍵字做題超快。
除了would表假設外
第二行的can，表可能性，就是一個可能的推論
所以只需要2秒鐘，就可以選到B了。
