안녕하세요, PTE-study에서 리딩 풀고있는데 오랜만에 몰아서 왕창 풀어서 그런가 눈이 매직아이 상태 ㅠㅠ 입니다.
아무리 읽어봐도 이게 왜 답인지 이해가 되질 않아서.. 여쭤봅니다!
멀티플 초이스 문제입니다. (두 문제 여쭤보겠습니다!, 미리 감사합니다 ㅠ)
1번:
Observe the dilemma of the fungus: it is a plant, but it possesses no chlorophyll. While all other plants put the sun’s energy to work for them combining the nutrients of ground and air into the body structure, the fungus must look elsewhere for energy supply. It finds it in those other plants which, having received their energy free from the sun, relinquish it at some point in their cycle either to animals (like us humans) or to the fungi. In this search for energy the fungus has become the earth’s major source of rot and decay. Wherever you see mould forming on a piece of bread, or a pile of leaves turning to compost, or a blown-down tree becoming pulp on the ground, you are watching a fungus eating. Without fungus action the earth would be piled high with the dead plant life of past centuries. In fact, certain plants which contain resins that are toxic to fungi will last indefinitely; specimens of the redwood, for instance, can still be found resting on the forest floor centuries after having been blown down.
Which of the following statements in respect of the fungus cannot be derived from the text?
1) Fungus cleans up the planet for us.
2) Fungus is a non-parasitic plant.
3) Mould is a representation of fungus.
4) Fungus cannot eat some types of dead matter.
5) Fungus cannot source energy at its own.
답: 2, 5 번인데,
왜 5번이 답인가요??? (5번은 본문 밑줄에 나왔다고 생각하는데 아닌가요??)
2번:
Books of travel are of all kinds, from the dry records of laborious statisticians to the trivial diaries of globe-trotters. Explorers, seamen, archaeologists, naturalists, dreamers, what type of man or woman has not written a book of travel? They are read, they are forgotten and ninety-nine out of every hundred pass away into oblivion. Yet there are others. Alas! There aren’t many. Great books are rare, same as the people of genius and character are. To write a book of travel appeals irresistibly to large numbers of persons who have no creative power, whose books are the mere reflection of a shallow curiosity and of a foolish egotism. These mediocre works, though they spread a sort of suburban light upon the beautiful and wild places of earth, pale into trivialities on comparison with the achievement of the true travellers who by reason of their fortitude, their imagination, their insight and their ability to evoke the atmosphere and colour of the world, have produced books that rank as literature and last for centuries.
Which of the following statements about books of travel can be supported from the text?
1) The urge to write demands creativity on part of the writer.
2) Classics on travel and exploration have survived for centuries and will do so in future.
3) Courage is needed for travel and exploration, not so much for recounting the experiences.
4) Even the books that are not so imaginative could have nuggets of important information about people and places.
5) Books may exhibit writer’s self-centeredness.
답: 2, 4, 5번인데,
2번은 어떤 근거로 찾을 수 있나요?
아이엘츠에서는 not given 이 있잖아요, PTE도 보기에 본문에 언급되지 않은 것들이 들어가죠?
그냥 단어만 바꾼게 아니라,,, 뭔가 전체를 이해해야 하는 것 같아서 너무 어렵게 느껴지네요 ㅠㅠ
리딩에 제일 어렵습니다 흑흑흑
아 그리고, PTE study 리딩에서 오답이 있을 수 있나요? 다른 것도 ㅠㅠ 이상한게 많아서 ㅠㅠ
그럼 보시면 답변 좀 부탁드릴게요.. 감사합니다!!!
보기를 보시면 Fungus cannot source energy at its own.
여기서 source를 obtain으로 해석하시면 답이 안된다고 생각 할 수 있는데요.
source를 search로 해석하시면 답이 되요.
Obtain from a particular source.으로 해석될때는 수동형이 와야 되고 능동으로는 Find out where (something) can be obtained.
곰팡이는 스스로 에너지를 찾을 수 없다.라고 해석하시면 본문의 내용과 일치하지 않아서 답이 되는 거 같아요.
2번 문제는 전체적인 맥략에서 많은 여행서들이 잊혀지고 사라지지만, 좋은 책들은 그 수가 많지 않지만 남아있고, 많은 사람들이 계속 책을 쓰고 이는 세기에 걸쳐 남는다는 내용으로 답이 되는 거 같아요.
