本月考試修辭機經似乎有一點不足,趕緊幫同學補充一道考場回憶題,同學考試碰到的話一定要穩穩地拿分!

許多同學在考試後回來和助教分享說,在實際考試時碰到的SC題目很多時候5個選項都長的不一樣,很少遇到所謂的「三二結構」,在當下根本不知道怎麼解題。 今天分享這題考場回憶的題目,乍看之下,五個選項的長相還真的挺不一樣,同學很可能當下會慌了手腳,不過只要同學靜下心來,就會發現莫老師上課教授的「16條規則」還是同學解題時最好的依靠。

這道題講的是一位學者在討論東京議定書:

Christoph Böhringer, a scholar…, has calculated that the Kyoto treaty participants if compliant…, still have the theoretical possibility of increasing….

(A)     participants if compliant …have the theoretical possibility of increasing

  (B)     could theoretically sustain compliance …with an increase in…

(C)     could find …, by 6 percent in the aggregate by 2010, still complying with the treaty…

(D)     participants could increase …. still complying with the treaty in theory

  (E)     participants could, in theory, increase their carbon emissions by 6 percent in the aggregate by 2010 and still comply with the treaty

【說明】

本題同學觀察到選項中有「compliant vs. compliance vs. comply」、「have the possibility vs. could」、「increase (名詞) vs. increase (動詞)」這些差別,同學應該要馬上反射想到這題一定會考十六條規則的「簡潔(conciseness)」觀念;使用動詞的句子通常是最簡潔的。 但是提醒同學,最後確認答案前還是要順一下句意邏輯是否正確、檢查句子是否其他文法或指涉上的錯誤,不要立刻就選「使用動詞的答案」否則的話,還是會誤入GMAC出題者另外設下的陷阱唷!

最後莫老師助教幫同學補充背景知識:

Kyoto Treaty (Kyoto Protocol) 京都議定書

又譯《京都協議書》、《京都條約》;全稱《聯合國氣候變化綱要公約的京都議定書》)是《聯合國氣候變化綱要公約》(United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change,UNFCCC)的補充條款。是1997年12月在日本京都府京都市的國立京都國際會館所召開聯合國氣候變化綱要公約參加國三次會議制定的。其目標是「將大氣中的溫室氣體含量穩定在一個適當的水平,以保證生態系統的平滑適應、食物的安全生產和經濟的可持續發展」 (文字來源:維基百科)

 

助教在找資料的過程搜尋到原文,所以同學就直接看原文吧! 考試碰到這題直接秒選!

It would be one thing if Kyoto were going to lead to a significant decline in global carbon emissions. But that is not necessarily the case. 「Christoph Böhringer, a scholar at the Center for European Economic Research, in Mannheim, Germany, has calculated that the Kyoto participants could actually, in theory, increase their carbon emissions by 6 percent in the aggregate by 2010 and still comply with the treaty」 because the Russian target has been set at such an easy level.
(框起來的部分就是題目+正確答案)
