我想问问 为什么4是错的，2、3、6我都知道是对的，可是4我也觉得没有错啊～～ 不选它是因为它是细节呢？ 还是因为它有错呢？


如果是有错，希望大家能告诉我错在什么地方。。。 多谢啦～～     还有4天就要考试了。。。 着急中。。。

tpo13 reading

Should the use of rewards fail, members can frequently win by rejecting or threatening to ostracize those who deviate from the primary group's norms. For instance, some social groups employ shunning (a person can remain in the community, but others are forbidden to interact with the person) as a device to bring into line individuals whose behavior goes beyond that allowed by the particular group.

加粗的地方是什么意思呢?  咋翻译呢?  是倒装吗?
这整段话我有点不太懂
直接导致我做题做错了

10. In paragraph 4, what is the author’s main purpose in the discussion of the dramatic cessation of tree growth at the upper timberline?
ATo argue that none of several environment factors that are believed to contribute to that phenomenon do in fact play a role in causing it.
BTo argue in support of one particular explanation of that phenomenon against several competing explanations.
CTo explain why the primary environmental factor responsible for that phenomenon has not yet been identified.
DTo present several environmental factors that may contribute to a satisfactory explanation of that phenomenon.


为什么不是选B， 文中红色部分说了the most important就是带有某种倾向性和支持性啊，

LZ看开头，there is still no universially agreed-on......表明这个是没有统一观点的
然后第二句式重点，verious environmental factors play a role.说明了本段滴意义
接着作者不是说了snow wind ultralight等因素吗？
这样不是很明确选D了嘛？楼主定位定错了

先谢谢楼主这么热心地帮我们这些备战的人答疑解惑~我做阅读时就老是觉得正确答案有问题，正苦恼呢，以后就经常前来讨教啦~
先问个刚碰到的问题，可能有些小白，不过还是想问清楚。。
做高分阅读120的一篇阅读的最后一个总结归纳要点题里，有个选项是Earth Day was designed to raise awareness of key environmental issues，然后原文定位信息是several environmental groups staged the first Earth Day celebration,designed to heighten public awareness of environmental problems. 虽然差别不过是key这个单词，但是我觉得选项不准确，又不是只提升了对“关键”问题的关注，可是答案说这个是对的。。难道说这样的形容词细节可以忽略吗？

首先C可以判读是不对的，也就是not true，因为文中说明无论是何种inequality（除了Inequalities of wealth and rank在战争中才表现明显），都是too slight或是softened，细看细节，定位到选项里提到的a rigid hierarchy based largely on heredity，在原文中相关的只有"hereditary hierarchies that...”，而前面提到they are normally too slight ，就更提不上rigid一说了~
再看D，还是定位到they are normally too slight to generate the stable, hereditary hierarchies that are usually implied by the use of the term class，可能你不是很确定这里class的意思，我也没弄明白，百度了一下term class，没有这个词组，但是猜测是“社会制度类别”这样的意思，也就是说pastoralist societies是一种，而且区别于其他的社会种类，而选项里in terms of 则大概是because of的意思，不要被迷惑以为这里的term和文中那个term是同一个意思而怀疑整个句子所要表达的观念。我们把握下整句话的意思就知道它是在说 class differences（不同的类别）是我们不去讨论这个inequality的原因，因为它too insignificant。
凭自己的理解解答的，不权威啊。。因为刚问了个问题，希望得到解答，希望得到解答，所以回答个没被解答的问题回报一下。。欢迎指正~

请问TPO1中TIMBERLINE那篇文章的最后一题：
At the timberline, whether upper or lower, there is a profound change in the growth of trees and other plants.
选项2：There is no agreement among scientists as to exactly why plant growth is sharply different above and below the upper timberline.  为何是对的?
选项3：The temperature at the upper timberline is probably more important in preventing tree growth than factors such as the amount of snowfall or the force of winds.为何是错的？
依鄙人愚见 此题应该选3、4、6  请高人指点！

The writers seldom mention their sources of evidence , and thus we do not know what credence to give them.
them 的指代感觉 writers 和 sources 都合理

我觉得第二个是因为第二段所阐述的内容吧，为什么选一呢，为什么不能选四呢

就是指的前面那句话所阐述的内容，因为之后的那句话就是对于REASON的一个解释

4这种类型的在一般文章里感觉就是细节，但是这个文章却不是。你看第3段说去了2种样本。后面2段就分别对这2中样本的研究进行阐述。不是经常说注意每段的中心句吗。你想想有3个段落（有一半的内容）在说这个，那回事细节还是重要信息呢？

sources of 是个词组。。。origin的意思

你看第四段，第一句基本就是这段的主旨句。后面的都是围绕此举展开。当然3也在这个‘后面’的范围内。很明显就是细节了。不知道这杨说清楚吗 263# mresc
