Visitors can go rafting down the Rogue River 32 . swimming in the Applegate River.
答案:(D) or
這裡列舉兩個可以選擇的活動(泛舟「或」游泳),or 表示選擇並列;also(此外,是累加不是選擇)、but(但是)、for(因為)都不符合「兩者擇一」的並列邏輯。
本題大考中心未公布逐題答對率,以下不談數據,只談觀念。
四個選項裡只有 also 帶著「還有」的味道,而這一段確實在介紹好幾種活動,很容易就挑了它。但這一句要說的是兩者「擇一」,不是兩者都做。
先看空格兩邊:Visitors can go rafting down the Rogue River ___ swimming in the Applegate River.(遊客可以到 Rogue 河泛舟……到 Applegate 河游泳。)兩邊都是 go + V-ing 的活動,一個是泛舟、一個是游泳,遊客不必兩個都做,是提供選擇,所以用 or。順便把這一篇裡的 go + V-ing 一次收齊,它們全都出現在同一段:go rafting(去泛舟)、go swimming(去游泳)、go fishing(去釣魚)、go hunting(去打獵、去採集)。這個句型專門用來講從事某種休閒活動,是很好用的一組。
also(也):它是副詞,不是連接詞,不能拿來連接兩個並列的成分。but(但是):轉折,但泛舟與游泳並不互相牴觸。for(因為):表原因,而且它引出的是前面那句話的理由,位置也不對。
go rafting(去泛舟)、go swimming(去游泳)、go fishing(去釣魚)、go hunting for(去尋找、採集)、a popular activity(受歡迎的活動)、along the roadsides(沿路邊)。
