標題Re: [考題] 閱讀測驗一題
時間Mon Feb 27 01:45:39 2012
個人覺得這題選C較合理，以下試著分析：
第一，閱讀測驗答案不是只看該段落有沒有出現題目中的字來決定，如同第一段
雖然第一句就出現good times,但往後看下去，會發現會提到good times只是個
引子，引出後面關於bad times的敘述。
第二，承上所述，第二、第三段皆是繞著bad times 以及 health打轉，
如第二段，一開始先說研究者都以為tough situations (即 bad times)會創造更多的
壓力和痛苦(跟health有關)。其後又提出情況不總是如此。研究顯示bad times會造成
種種對健康的好處，諸如a time of rest and rejuvevation、more time to spend
in the gym、healthy home-cooked meals、outdoor activities等等，無一不是繞著
bad times can improve your health上敘述。至於有人提到這段有出現good life，
認為等於good times，但仔細看他出現的句子，是以For people used to living the
good life, the bad times can.....的情形出現，講的是對習慣過好日子的人來說，
壞日子對他們會造成什麼影響，而並非是好日子對他們的影響。從這段看不出有呼應
到答案的說法(即 how good times affect people's life 這部分)。
來看第三段，依舊是繞著中心思想，不過第二段是在講bad times對health好的部分
第三段講的則是對health不好的部分，二三段形成對比。關鍵字為unable to afford
their health care programs、health issue can worsen dramatically、death
related to mental illnesses and depression。
看到這邊，幾乎已經可以確定答案為C了，但為求保險，還是看一下結尾段。
果然，依舊環繞著一貫的health話題。提到了heart problems以及people don't
live as long than......。
答案C The influences that bad times have on people's health.
不但符合文章內容不斷提到的health，以及皆是以bad times下的敘述為前提來說明。
反觀B的答案
How good times and bad times affect people's life.
首先people's life說法太籠統，不似health扣緊文章內容。
另外文章中出現good times 和bad times的比例嚴重失衡，
看完文章後還選B的話，教bad times 情何以堪?
以上試著分析此篇文章及探討可能的答案，個人是投C一票。
若有錯誤，請高手指正或討論，謝謝。

: 高中月考閱讀測驗一題：
: Everyone loves the good times. They bring more money, prosperity, and
: happiness to our homes. But, as the old saying goes, what goes up must come
: down. For every boom that occurs, it seems there is a slump secretly waiting
: around the corner. Although the bad times might lighten your bank balance,
: research shows they can sometimes improve your health.
: For years, researchers assumed that tough situations created more stress and
: pain for people. However, more recent findings suggest that this is not
: always the case. For people used to living the good life, the bad times can
: actually be a time of rest and rejuvenation. With overtime cut, many people
: find more time to spend in the gym or with their families. As budgets
: tighten, healthy home-cooked meals replace dining out, and outdoor activities
: can take the place of a night in the town.
: But the bad times are not necessarily a healthy time for everybody. In fact,
: they can create some serious problems for lower income families. As jobs are
: lost, many people are left unable to afford their health care programs.
: Without access to doctors and medical care, health issues can worsen
: dramatically. Also, during economic downturns, deaths related to mental
: illnesses and depression are shown to rise.
: As it turns out, the bad times can also be a bad time to be born. A study of
: twins in Denmark indicated that on average, people born during recession don’
: t live as long and suffer more heart problems than those born when the
: economy is on a roll. So whether the hard times will help or harm a person’
: s health depends a lot upon their financial states.
: 52. What is the passage mainly about?
: (A) How people cope with bad economic situations.
: (B) How good times and bad times affect people’s lives.
: (C) The influences that bad times have on people’s health.
: (D) The health problems that people suffer in bad times.
: 答案是B，我選C
: 其實B是第一個被我刪走的，
: 因為文章只用了good time 入題，
: 內文的二三四段根本沒提及good time，
: B用來當陷阱還說得過，
: 所以... B我覺得是 100% 的陷阱，
: 沒想到答案就是B @口@!
: 想請教各位前輩對這題的想法，
: 麻煩了，謝謝^^
