II. Cloze 【A】 Many indigenous communities live in isolated and often highly biodiverse areas, where living in balance with nature is crucial for survival. As keen observers of their environments, indigenous peoples often possess knowledge linking various phenomena of eco-system change. For example, centuries of knowledge about tsunami waves 16 the Moken or the “sea nomads” of the Andaman Sea along the west coast of Thailand to stay safe when the deadly tsunami struck their villages in 2004. This knowledge is also used to make seasonal forecasts and predict weather patterns. The pastoralists of East Africa are able to predict when and where the rains will fall -- 17 observing the flowering patterns of trees, and the behavior of insects and birds. These biological indicators are observed by scouts roaming the landscape, to determine where and when the cattle herds should move. This indigenous knowledge is not 18 . It is constantly being enriched to include knowledge of new phenomena that affect the environment. Take the example of the First Nations communities in northern Canada. They have observed changes in the hunting behavior and pack dynamics of wolves, and consequent declines in caribou populations. These changes are attributed to the roads and pipelines that now 19 their forests. Indigenous knowledge systems include values for managing the relationship of humans with biodiversity. In their conception, “nature” often includes animals, plants, the earth, humans and spirits -- all 20 reciprocal kinship relationships. Humans are not considered superior to nature, and nature does not exist to serve humans. For some indigenous communities, animals are believed to present themselves as gifts to hunters -- gifts to be respected and cherished through rituals.

請觀察空格後方的「reciprocal kinship relationships」(互惠的親緣關係)這個詞組。如果我們說萬物處於一種「家族關係」之中,你認為萬物之間是彼此獨立、互相對抗,還是被某種無形的紐帶「連繫」在一起呢?哪一個動詞最能形容這種被「繫」在同一個體系中的狀態?

互惠關係的連結
太棒了!你能精準捕捉到這段文字對原住民自然觀的描述,這顯示你對文意脈絡有極佳的掌握力。這題的核心在於理解原住民如何看待自然、動物與人類之間的互動。文中所提到的 reciprocal kinship relationships(互惠的親緣關係)是關鍵,這代表萬物並非獨立存在,而是彼此深深連結在一起的。因此,動詞選擇 tied(繫住、連結)最能體現這種緊密不可分的關係,「tied in」在此處生動地傳達了萬物皆被納入這個龐大家族網絡的概念。
