Accurate measurements are 11 important for scientific experiments.
答案:(C) particularly
particularly important(尤其重要)為常見固定搭配,表示準確測量對科學實驗格外重要;deliberately/instantly/scarcely 均無法自然修飾 important。
四個選項都是 -ly 副詞、都能擺在 be 動詞與形容詞之間,形態上刷不掉,你會憑中文哪個順挑一個。
鑑別度高達 57。四個選項都是副詞,但這一格要修飾的是後面的形容詞 important,所以必須是一個能講「程度」的副詞。deliberately(刻意地)與 instantly(立刻)修飾的是動作怎麼做、什麼時候做,擺在形容詞前面講不通;scarcely(幾乎不)是否定副詞,會讀成「準確的測量幾乎不重要」,與整段強調測量很要緊的方向相反。只剩 particularly(尤其、特別),它正是用來把程度往上加的。填進去讀成 Accurate measurements are particularly important for scientific experiments(準確的測量對科學實驗尤其重要)。「尤其」還帶一層對照:前一句講的是廚房裡的量杯、磅秤與溫度計,這一句把場景換到實驗室,要求自然更嚴格。
deliberately 與 instantly 講的是動作的方式與時機,不能拿來說一件事「有多重要」;scarcely 是否定副詞,方向完全相反。三個都是 -ly 副詞,形態吻合,容易被順手選走。
particularly(尤其、特別)、especially(尤其)、scarcely(幾乎不,否定副詞)、deliberately(刻意地)、accurate measurements(準確的測量)、meet one's needs(符合需求)。
Measurements are needed in many everyday activities. In kitchens you will find measures for volume (measuring cups), mass (scales and weights), and temperature (cooking thermometers). Accurate measurements are 11 important for scientific experiments.
In a laboratory, make sure your measure meets your needs. 12 using any thermometer, double check that it covers the right temperature 13 for your activity or experiment. A garden thermometer, 14, will burst if you try to use it for boiling liquids.
There are different systems of measures. Most scientists now use the International System of measures, with meters for length, kilograms for 15, and seconds for time. If the measures in your experiment show other units, appropriate conversion tables for different systems may prove to be very useful.
