Look at the four squares [█] that indicate where the following sentence : : can be added to the passage. : : This is the criterion emphasized by Darwin's theory of evolution by natural : : selection. : : Where would the sentence best fit? : : 為什麼答案是3? 我選4。 因為空格4前面有提到criterion,放在空格4 : : "This is the criterion...." 感覺比較不突兀 : : 感謝幫忙 謝謝! : 選項3一開始也有提到The standard criterion,你忽略了選項4的一個字an equally : important criterion的equally(一個同等重要的標準),所以答案選3,先在3中插入一個 : 由Darwin’s所強調的準則,之後用2個舉例來說明。 : (以上內容由美加 蔡睿老師提供) 這題的爭議實在很多 我收集下一下答案 文勇黃金閱讀6.0 : D 文勇黃金閱讀7.0 : C 小馬過河備考包 : D 答案到底是什麼呢? 看看國中生物課本吧 達爾文進化論主張的是 success in competing with other species and adapting to slowly changing environments. 因為當時沒有辦法解釋 生物大規模滅絕 雖然他曾經研究過化石 他在《物種起源》寫道:“我想恐怕再也也沒有人比我對物種滅絕更加驚奇了。” 但是他認為 新物種的產生與現存物種的消亡密切相關。 突然出現大量化石只是因為 地質資料不夠完全 然而現在某些證據據指出大滅絕確實週期性的發生 哈佛大學的斯蒂芬·傑伊·古爾德(Stephen Jay Gould)和 美國自然歷史博物館的奈爾斯·埃爾德雷德(Niles Eldredge)。 他們的斷續性平衡理論認為,物種進化過程中, 每隔一段較長時期的穩定,就會有短期的急劇變化; 其時某些物種滅絕,某些新物種出現。 甚至有研究者出了一本書 最衰者生存 Survival of the Sickest:A Medical Maverick Discovers Why We Need Disease http://www.books.com.tw/exep/prod/booksfile.php?item=0010384739 簡單的說這兩個標準並不是作者寫 達爾文理論支持的例子 .......................................................... 好了 顯然這個問題文組的同學比較有問題 我們換個角度 單純看文章 會不會插入A? Impacts by meteorites represent one mechanism that could cause global catastrophes and seriously influence the evolution of life all over the planet. █According to some estimates, the majority of all extinctions species may be due to such impacts. 不會 因為這兩句是有關連的 such impacts 要指到上一句的 Impacts by meteorites 而插入句中沒有impacts 會把原文的意思打斷 ................................................ 會不會插入B ? According to some estimates, the majority of all extinctions species may be due to such impacts. █Such a perspective fundamentally changes our view of biological evolution. perspective加了冠詞 所以他不是形容詞 而是名詞 在此翻譯成 觀點.看法 Such a perspective 指的就是前一句所說的 大多數在大滅絕中死亡的生物 是因為such impacts = Impacts by meteorites 這個觀點改變了我們對於生物演化的觀念 可見還是不能插入 你應該能想到接下來要寫什麼呢? 當然是寫過去的舊觀點囉 ......................................................... 能不能插入C ? Such a perspective fundamentally changes our view of biological evolution. █The standard criterion for the survival of a species is its success in competing with other species and adapting to slowly changing environments. 就觀點是什麼? 生物生存的基礎在於 從與其他物種競爭中獲勝 並且適應緩慢變化的環境 如果插入句要放這個位置 應該寫 This is the view emphasized by Darwin's theory 這是達爾文的觀點 然後用:加以說明 : The standard criterion for the survival of a species is.... 但是如果不修改就插入C Such a perspective fundamentally changes our view of biological evolution. This is the criterion emphasized by Darwin's theory... 這是不合邏輯的 因為我們不知道our view of biological evolution 這個觀念是什麼 而且 view 與 criterion(標準) 根本不起來 不能用this 來指 ............................................... 插入D的位置 The standard criterion for the survival of a species is its success in competing with other species and adapting to slowly changing environments. █Yet an equally important criterion is the ability of a species to survive random global ecological catastrophes due to impacts. 這樣一來 This is the criterion emphasized by Darwin's theory 已經在上一句說明過了The standard criterion 現在來個轉折Yet 之後應該是新觀點 也與達爾文的觀點無關 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.228.34.44
