[請益] TPO14-L-section1-第三篇Q14

[DarkD (達克豬)]

What point dose the professor make when she mentions squirrels?

2) Mammals have more than one way of regulating their temperture.
3) Smaller animals have more success than larger animals in adapting to
different microclimates.

截文:

P: Well, since cold air sinks, and these spots are shaded, they are usually
much cooler than the surrounding area. And these spots are so important because
many animals rely on microclimates to regulate their body temperature. Hmm, for
instance, there is a species of squirrel, in the Western oart of the United
States that can get really hot when they were out foraging for food. So they
need a way to cool down. So what'd they do? They go back to their own burrow.
Once tehy get there, their body temperature decrease very very quickly. The
trip to the burrow prevents the squirrel from getting too hot.

S: But squirrels are mammals, right?

P: Mammals do have the ability to regulate their body temperature, but not all
can do it to the same degree, or even the same way. Like when you walk outside
on a hot day, you perspire, and your body cools itself down, a classic example
of how mammal regulate its own body temperature. But one challenge that
squirrels face, well many small mammals do is that because of their size
sweating would make them lose too much moisture. They dehydrate. But on the
other hand, their small size allows them to fit into very tiny spaces. So for
small mammals, microclimates can make a big difference. They rely on
microclimates for survival.


我覺得兩個選項都有線索阿= =? 有沒有版有這題也有疑惑的...

拍謝= =..看不太懂你的描述跟3)有什麼關係

後面那段講到小型動物(松鼠)如果在熱環境(macroclimates)中流汗會脫水，以至於他們去
利用microclimates來調溫。而大型動物(人)就直接流汗調溫。
But on the other hand, their small size allows them to fit into very tiny
spaces. So for small mammals, microclimates can make a big difference.

在想是不是把對比大型動物的敘述去掉:
3) Smaller animals have success in adapting to different microclimates.
就對了?

推 tkmax:我可以藉機問tpo 14最後一篇的答案嗎?  感謝
→ tkmax:此外 題目是講說 教授要表達的點就是用動物microclimates
→ tkmax:調節體溫...如果要c對的話可能會是infer題
→ tkmax:拍謝沒打好 是動物用microclimates調節體溫
→ tkmax:後面那段是用來支持B選項   c選項是用來迷惑的選項
→ DAAWEI:我不知道答案,就原po文我會選3。雖然首段提到"許多"哺乳類
→ DAAWEI:類rely on microclimate==>暗示不是全部,代表有其它可能..
→ DAAWEI:但題目是問松鼠(小形動物)降溫的特性,所以我會選3
推 sakra:3的意思我理解為:小動物在適應macroclimate上更有優勢更成功
→ sakra:但原文的意思，我認為是:大動物根本不用去適應macroclimate,
→ sakra:小動物被迫去適應macroclimates。所以不能用"更成功"來形容.
→ ccer:the professor just offers the example, he doesn't compare
→ ccer:in other words, there is no comparision in success betwee
→ ccer:n the animals with different size~~
→ DarkD:恩大概懂了，選得時候的確也是掙扎很久，還是被搞到了ㄒ.ㄒ
→ DarkD:anyway,感謝版友幫忙!
→ DAAWEI:所以答案是2??也就是說要跟據文中明確提到部份不要過度演繹
→ DarkD:恩答案是2) 拍謝好像忘了打。有時候這個腦內補完真的很讓人
→ DarkD:抓狂，但偏偏有時候imply題又要求這樣，超哭的~"~
推 lery:TPO-14 12題開始 BDDCBA 剛剛才找到這篇答案
推 tkmax: 感謝  剛剛對完答案  全對  希望考試也是這樣:P
→ DarkD:原來是在回答t版友的問題..拍謝沒注意到
