[問題]GWD 7-21

[James]

Which of the following most logically completes the passage?


Each species of moth has an optimal body temperature for effective flight, and when air temperatures fall much below that temperature, the moths typically have to remain inactive on vegetation for extended periods, leaving them highly vulnerable to predators. In general, larger moths can fly faster than smaller ones and hence have a better chance of evading flying predators, but they also have higher optimal body temperatures, which explains why ______.


(A)large moths are generally able to maneuver better in flight than smaller moths
(B)large moths are proportionally much more common in warm climates than in cool climates
(C)small moths are more likely than large moths to be effectively camouflaged while on vegetation
(D)large moths typically have wings that are larger in proportion to their body size than smaller moths do
(E)most predators of moths prey not only on several different species of moth but also on various species of other insects[/list]

參考答案：B
但我選C
直覺上看完題目，會想去找對稱結構的解釋，可是看完五個答案後，會覺得沒有當初心裡想要的答案，就變的很沒把握的去選，
腦筋應該要怎麼轉到彎，才會繞到答案這邊呀

參考答案：B
但我選C
直覺上看完題目, 會想去找對稱結構的解釋，
因此 ,可能的對稱結構只有兩個 B /C
B 談的是 warm /cold....與溫度有關
C 談的是 camouflage...跟shape 有關

所以會選B

----------------

已上是有時間限制時 我的做題思路
細細分析 單然也是B正確嚕 ;)

我覺得CR一個很重要的關鍵在於考點判斷以及是否利用到題目中每一句話
CR題目中幾乎每一句話都有代表的意涵
這一題第一句話點名探討moth體溫和外界溫度的關係
雖然第二句話提到shape字眼,但那一句話重點還是在描述體溫的相對關係...因此找答案中跟溫度有關的,應該八九不離十...

[wangdaven]

老實說這題沒有單字, 但是讀完後, 居然搞不懂文意
只大約知道moth的飛行容易會受自己和外在temperature交互的影響
還有大隻的moth飛的較快, 但是body temperature也較高
後來想了很久, 不知道本題是不是這樣解釋:
moth的飛行很容易受溫度下降的影響, 當溫度比體溫低許多時, moth被捕食的機率會提高
而大隻的moth雖然飛的比較快, 但由於體溫比較高, 因此如果在同一個溫度下
大隻的moth會比小隻的moth更容易受到溫度的影響
所以大隻的moth生長在較溫暖的地方, 比較不會inactive, 進而造成被捕食

是這樣理解的嗎? 煩請各位指正囉

[evelight]

To wangdaven:

You get it!

重點就是你提到的
『大隻的moth雖然飛的比較快, 但由於體溫比較高, 因此如果在同一個溫度下
大隻的moth會比小隻的moth更容易受到溫度的影響』

提到『飛行速度的差異』意在擾亂判斷
畢竟整題從頭到尾都扣著『溫度』這個主題 (氣溫、體溫、體型與體溫的關係)

幾個關鍵單字沒看懂
第一次做猜 C :P
查完單字之後
我想選 A

這題我的理解是 which 是代替最佳的體溫
所以
要找一個 最佳體溫 可以解釋的結果
而題目告訴我們 an optimal body temperature for effective flight
所以答案A說大鳥比較會飛
就是合適體溫的結果囉 :)
相對地
我覺得答案B就 倒因為果
應該是住在溫暖地區才能解釋為何有合適體溫

[cocaine]

維尼,句子你又看錯了..
temperatures, which explains why

溫度複數 , explains單數 所以 which不修飾溫度唷..

我選b 我想這題如同大家所討論的
考點在於 只要一低於最佳的溫度 就對moth有害
而我想點出 大moth較會飛 也體溫較高 就是跟小moth作分別
所以 可以推論 大moth住的地方 氣溫會比較高
因為 是要用大moth體溫高來解釋 某個現像
C感覺是無關
a 沒有體溫 另外感覺 體溫 跟會不會飛並沒有因果

Dear cocaine,

基本上
這個句子是找不到可以讓 which 指涉的名詞 :)
(應該不是那遙遠的 "a chance" 吧 )
因為 GWD 的題目也有錯的情形
所以我只能用最基本的規則: 關代修飾最近的名詞做解讀
僅供參考

C當然是無關

關於"a 沒有體溫 另外感覺 體溫 跟會不會飛並沒有因果"
如同我之前所提:
Each species of moth has an optimal body temperature for effective flight
第一句就點出因果關係

我剛剛稍微想了一下
如果跳開 which 是指 optimal body temperature 的迷思
(謎之音: 修辭也不會你的迷思比較高分 )
的確是B比較好
謝謝大家指教

莫老師有說過，代名詞只能代「名詞」而不能代句子規則，只限於SC喔......其餘英文文章不見得如此。

另外moth（蛾）不是恆溫動物，所以體溫應是隨著環境溫度變動。

因此推導：由於大的蛾需要較高的環溫（體溫），所以在較冷地方就比較不適合大蛾生存。因為有可能在寒冷處，小蛾還可以飛躲避天敵，大蛾卻動不了而被天敵吃光了∼

所以答案是B。

（想半天，終於想通了）

題外話...

查出moth是蛾的時候...
突然有一股強烈的兒時回憶...
該不會那個 蝶龍魔斯拉 就是這麼來的吧....

一查...果然...
Moth + la = Mothla.....昏倒....

歹勢... 我是來亂的.....

[chihhan123]

還是回歸正題...

這題的解釋最好不要用大蛾小蛾講，免得造成一種誤解:小蛾長大後體溫會比較高。

除了溫度以外的關鍵，在第一個字: each speices
題目要談的是種類:大型蛾類、小型蛾類

因此這樣區分就清楚了:
蛾類的共通特性: 溫度低於環境溫度→不飛，待在草木上=被攻擊

小型蛾類: 體溫較低，體溫較不易低於環境溫度，可以生活在較冷的環境裡大型蛾類: 體溫較高，體溫較易低於環境溫度，必須生活在較暖的環境裡(才不用老是待在草木上)，以躲避被掠食者的侵襲

答案(B)

答案(B)

這題根本考閱讀@@
optimal是理想體溫的意思 我後來才想到電腦主機板調bios裡面的optimal setting 選項 翻譯就翻成最佳化設置

這個optimal的意思等於是在告訴讀者 大型蛾種為了讓自己少於威脅 -->得讓自己不睡著 --> 得讓自己體溫盡可能維持高一些-->需要活在較溫暖地區
damn,..這題根本是考閱讀

(E)most predators of moths prey not only on several different species of moth but also on various species of other insects

這題我覺得A和B都可以
我本來第一次選A,而那時沒看完所有選項
看完答案後,我猜想A不對的原因是否因為maneuver這個字呢?
effective flight不等於better maneuver
effective flight=有效率的飛行=飛行的速度快
better maneuver=操縱飛行的技術較好(意指可能飛的慢,但是飛的很平穩等等的)
這樣解釋行嘛?
還是想太多阿???????????????
