GWD-9-Q5:
According to the passage, the inhabitants of the Andean highlands resolved the problem of unequal resource distribution primarily in which of the following ways?
簡譯 : 如何解決資源分配不均的問題 ?
By the sixteenth century, the Incas
of South America ruled an empire that
extended along the Pacific coast and
Line Andean highlands from what is now
(5) Ecuador to central Chile. While most
of the Incas were self-sufficient
agriculturists, the inhabitants of the
highland basins above 9,000 feet were
constrained by the kinds of crops they
(10) could cultivate. (點出問題)Whereas 95 percent
of the principal Andean food crops can
be cultivated below 3,000 feet, only
20 percent reproduce readily above
9,000 feet. (進一步陳述問題)Given this unequal
(15) resource distribution, highland Incas
needed access to the products of
lower, warmer climatic zones in order
to enlarge the variety and quantity of
their foodstuffs. (解決問題的方法)In most of the prein-
(20) dustrial world, the problem of different
(換字 ! = unequal)resource distribution was resolved by
long-distance trade networks over
which the end consumer exercised
little control. Although the peoples
(25) of the Andean highlands participated
in such networks, they relied primarily
on the maintenance of autonomous
production forces in as many ecological
zones as possible.
答案應該更正為 C
看到自己小時後的發言...真的瞞想一頭撞死 !
希望對fiona 有幫助嚕.....
Dear 魚
我第一次做的時候
也很想選C
可是
increaing 這個字讓我猶豫了
因為文章只提到 participate
並沒有直接提到 質或量的增加
(或許可以推論說 參與 就會 相對地增加依賴
不過我覺得在細節題上會有疑問)
所以在看到答案E之後
覺得E更好
Although 帶出的轉折
重點在後面句子
也就是 they replied PRIMARILY on .... (謎之音: 題目也用了 primarily 這個字唷)
直接就告訴你他們是怎麼做的
Although the peoples
(25) of the Andean highlands participated
in such networks, they relied primarily
on the maintenance of autonomous
production forces in as many ecological
zones as possible.
