題目編號:G115_12_1(已自動幫你填到回報表單裡)🚩 回報這題有問題

解析

語意「犀牛有一種很臭的方式來『溝通』」,communicate(溝通)符合,呼應前文提到分享最新消息的類比;demonstrate(展示)、immigrate(移民)、manipulate(操縱)都不合。

深入解析

你可能會這樣想

看到 communicate,你腦中浮現的多半是「開口講話」,於是會懷疑:犀牛又不會說話,怎麼 communicate?這就是既有印象與實際用法的落差。劍橋辭典對 communicate 的定義是「傳達訊息或表達想法」,管道不限於語言——氣味、動作、顏色都算。本文一路把犀牛的糞便類比成人類的社群媒體貼文(just like humans leaving messages on social media),講的正是「溝通」。

怎麼判斷

空格前是 a smelly way to ___,way to 後面接原形動詞,表示「做某事的方式」。四個選項都是 -ate 結尾的動詞,光看字尾分不出來,只能靠語意。

誘答選項

demonstrate 是「展示、示範」;immigrate 是「移入他國」,注意 immigrate to(移入)/emigrate from(移出)/migrate(遷徙)三個字常一起考,犀牛在同一個地點留糞便並不是遷徙;manipulate 你可能直覺想成「操作機器」,但那是 operate,manipulate 的核心語意是「(不正當地)操縱、擺布」,帶負面色彩。

常考字詞與句型

communicate with sb(與某人溝通)、communicate sth to sb(把某事傳達給某人)、a way to V/a way of Ving(做某事的方式)、immigrate to(移入……)/emigrate from(移出……)、manipulate public opinion(操縱輿論)。

From the campfire to the café, people have always gathered together to share the latest news. White rhinoceroses, 11 , do the same thing—only their choice of meeting place is a giant pile of poop. A new study indicates that rhinos have a smelly way to 12 .

Scientists studying white rhinos in South Africa have found that these animals leave messages in their poop. In particular, they leave their poop in the same place for all the other members in the group to smell—just like humans leaving messages on social media. Furthermore, different rhinos leave different chemicals in their poop, which provide important 13 about the age, sex, general health, and reproductive conditions of each specific rhino.

This is of great significance for the peace and harmony in the group. When all members in a group know what's going on with each other, it is 14 that they will fight.

The researchers have even made "fake poop" to see how different rhinos would react. They find that dominant males are particularly 15 the "fake poop" that carries chemicals from females ready to mate. The males sniff it for longer duration and come back to the same spot more frequently, a clear sign that they are gathering information about mating opportunities from the poop.

中譯:從營火旁到咖啡館,人們總是喜歡聚在一起分享最新的消息。事實上,白犀牛也會做同樣的事——只不過牠們選擇的聚會地點,是一大堆的糞便。一項新研究顯示,犀牛有一種「臭氣沖天」的溝通方式。科學家在南非研究白犀牛時發現,這些動物會在糞便中留下訊息,特別是牠們會把糞便集中留在同一個地方,讓群體中的其他成員都能聞到——就像人類在社群媒體上留言一樣。此外,不同犀牛的糞便中所含的化學物質也不盡相同,這些化學物質能提供關於該犀牛年齡、性別、整體健康狀況及生育狀態的重要線索。這對維持群體間的和平與和諧具有重大意義——當群體中的每個成員都了解彼此的狀況時,牠們打架的機率就會降低。研究人員甚至製作了「假糞便」,來觀察不同犀牛的反應。他們發現,佔優勢地位的公犀牛,對含有母犀牛發情化學物質的「假糞便」特別感興趣。這些公犀牛會嗅聞較長的時間,也會更頻繁地回到同一個地點,這清楚顯示牠們正透過糞便蒐集有關交配機會的資訊。
