[prompter (Qu)]

第一篇的插入題

Earth's internal heat, fueled by radioactivity, provides the energy for plate
tectonics and continental drift, mountain building, and earthquakes. It can
also be harnessed to drive electric generators and heat homes. Geothermal
energy becomes available in a practical form when underground heat is
transferred by water that is heated as it passes through a subsurface region
of hot rocks (a heat reservoir) that may be hundreds or thousands of feet
deep.■ The water is usually naturally occurring groundwater that seeps down
along fractures in the rock; less typically, the water is artificially
introduced by being pumped down from the surface.■ The water is brought to the
surface, as a liquid or steam, through holes drilled for the purpose.■

By far the most abundant form of geothermal energy occurs at the relatively
low temperatures of 80° to 180° centigrade.■ Water circulated through heat
reservoirs in this temperature range is able to extract enough heat to warm
residential, commercial, and industrial spaces.


13.
Look at the four squares [] that indicate where the following sentence could
be added to the passage. Where would the sentence best fit? Click on a square
to add the sentence to the passage.

In either case, the heated water will usually be under considerable pressure,
and so may have a temperature that is well above its sea-level boiling point
of 100° centigrade.


答案是B

但為何C不可以?

有點不理解In either case的中文句意

推 Mydick: "In either case"指前面提到的兩種情況任一者
→ Mydick: 根據前文的" ;" 可知道是在把一個事件分成兩個狀況來討論
→ Mydick: 分號前"usually"和後面的"less typically"就是這兩個狀況
→ Mydick: 因此只有選B,能夠承接前一句的兩種狀況討論語氣
