Review
(1) 配合題錯4題,單選題錯2題,YNNG錯1題
(2) 這次的Section 2 花太多時間,要更準確的定位題目線索,不用仔細讀
(3) 配對題這次有出現兩個選項同時出現兩次的情形,實為罕見
(4) [配對] ___________ invented a term used to distinguish two factors affecting human characteristics.
答案:Francis Galton
線索:…Francis Galton first suggested the approach (and coined the phrase ‘nature and nurture’)
(5) [配對] ___________ carried out research into twins who had lived apart.
答案:Thomas Bouchard
線索:…identical twins who had been separated at birth and reunited as adults…visited Thomas Bouchard’s lab in what became known as the Minnesota Study of Twins Reared Apart.
(6) 單選題的解題方法應該是先了解題目跟選項的大意,再回到原文段落閱讀大意,再來對比選項。
(7) [單選] One reason that the writer refers to Humphrey Bogart is to exemplify?
答案:the importance of the actor and the character appearing to have similar personalities
說明:裡面有一個選項D雖然說有提到原文內容,但原文並沒有說對話在電影裡要盡可能顯得真實
(8) [單選] What does the writer suggest about Bringing Up Baby?
答案:The nature of the dialogue emphasises key elements of the film
說明:原文裡我誤解了underscore的意思,以致混亂
(9) [TFNG] Background music may anticipate a development in a film
答案:True
線索:…background music often foreshadows a change in mood…
題目翻譯:背景音樂有可能預示出一部電影中的情節發展
線索翻譯:背景音樂還常常能夠預示一種氛圍上的變化
說明:我一直把mood想成情緒,所以一直卡關,覺得development跟mood怎麼樣都扯不上邊,所以選了Not Given
(10) [配對題] …but no impact has been as______as that of language.
答案:fundamental
線索:…all other inventions pale in significance, since everything we have ever achieved depends on language and originates from it.
說明:我選的答案是original,但這裏原文講的是指language是根本,而不是說language是最先發明的或是最早的,因此選擇fundamental才會符合原文。
original: existing since the beginning, or being the earliest form of something | not the same as anything or anyone else and therefore special and interesting
fundamental: forming the base, from which everything else develops | more important than anything else
由此可知,答案是fundamental
