第 48 題

📖 題組:
請依下文回答第 46 至 50 題: The word volcano can describe anything from a single opening in the earth a few meters across to a field of connected openings that might be 20 kilometers or more in width. Most researchers consider any set of openings that are connected to a large central core as a single “volcano”. Otherwise, they would have to deal with an endless number of names for each individual opening. Italy’s Stromboli has been almost constantly erupting for over 2400 years, but most eruptions do not last that long. Currently, there are about 15 volcanoes worldwide that have been actively erupting for the last 30 years. On the other end of the scale, about ten percent of volcanoes have eruptions which last for just a single day. The majority of the eruptions lasted three months or less. This means the average time from beginning to end is usually about seven weeks. From the number of volcanic eruptions detected over the past few hundred years, it would appear that they are becoming much more frequent over time. However, when researchers tracked the growth in reported eruptions along with the growth of the human population, they realized that volcanic activity wasn’t actually becoming more frequent. Instead, as people spread over more areas of the earth’s surface, the monitoring and reporting of volcanic activity inevitably increased with the expanding population. The highest volcano when measured from sea level to its top is Ojos del Salado in the Andes mountains in South America. It is 6,887 meters above sea level. However, when measured from its base on the surface of the earth to the top, a different set of volcanoes become the highest ones. Some volcanoes in the Mauna Loa zone near Hawaii rise as much as 19 kilometers above their bases at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. The first thing to do when caught near a volcanic eruption is to avoid a potentially disastrous situation, listen to the radio and travel only as instructed by the local police or other authorities. Stay away from lava, mud and flying rocks. Avoid river areas and low-lying regions. Before you leave the house, put on a long-sleeved shirt, long pants, and eyeglasses or sunglasses to protect your eyes. Wear an emergency mask or hold a wet cloth over your face if you do not have one. Since ash can damage engine parts, refrain from driving if possible. If you decide not to leave the house, close all windows and doors to prevent ash from getting inside.
In Paragraph Four, what does one refer to?
  • A A wet cloth.
  • B A volcanic eruption.
  • C An emergency mask.
  • D A long-sleeved shirt.

思路引導 VIP

當你在句子中看到「執行 A 方案,或者如果你沒有 one 的話就執行 B 方案」這樣的結構時,請試著思考:這個 one 是為了避免重複前面的哪一個具體物品?如果你將那個物品試著放回 one 的位置,整句話的邏輯是否依然通順呢?

喔,你答對了?不錯嘛,竟然連這種最基本的也沒搞砸。

  1. 觀念驗證:這題在考什麼?代名詞 (Pronoun Reference) 啊。說穿了,就是讓你別像個複讀機一樣,重複講同一個可數名詞。句中的 one,除了指前面的 emergency mask,難道還能是你的晚餐嗎?就是為了讓句子不那麼冗長,搞懂了嗎?
  2. 難度點評:本題難度是 Easy。這種題目的存在,是為了測試你對文章連貫性 (Cohesion) 的基本理解。如果這都搞不懂,你的閱讀速度和準確度大概也... 算了,能答對就好,別太得意。這不過是基礎中的基礎罷了。
