The common belief about how Park and Livingstone travelled is accurate.

The Hidden Histories of Exploration exhibition at Britain's Royal Geographical Society in London sets out to present an alternative view, in which exploration is a fundamentally collective experience of work, involving many different people. Many of the most famous examples of explorers said to have been 'lone travellers' - say, Mungo Park or David Livingstone in Africa - were anything but ‘alone’ on their travels. They depended on local support of various kinds - for food, shelter, protection, information, guidance and solace - as well as on other resources from elsewhere.


2 The common belief about how Park and Livingstone travelled is accurate.
TRUE
FALSE
NotGiven

課本的答案是 "FALSE" ,但我認為是Not Given



雖然文中有提到 " Many of the most famous examples of explorers said to have been 'lone travellers'"( "許多有名的例子,探險家被形容成是單獨的旅行者") 但也只能說是"被形容",似乎不能等同於 "common belief " (大眾認為). 

換個方式問,我的問題是 "雖然被形容成單獨的旅行者"但不代表大眾是這樣認為.

eye movements

"The main finding in our study is that it is possible at all to just look at eye movements and then predict something about their personality. And before our study, it was not clear at all if this would be possible from eye movements in such an unconstrained real world setting. "


不是很清楚這邊的"from"的用法, 整句話我判斷意思因該可能是下面兩種
1. "在我們開始研究就前,完全不知道是否能在真實不受限的環境下用眼動來判斷(性格)"
2. "在我們開始研究就前,完全不知道是否能在真實不受限的環境下判斷眼球的動態"

我是有在oxford中看到from的解釋, 有下面這項,不知道是不是這裡的用法?

-used to show the reason for making a judgement: You can tell a lot about a person from their handwriting.

Australia's Lost Giants

"Given how much ink has been spilled on the extinction of the dinosaurs, it's a wonder that even more hasn't been devoted to megafauna.”

猜得出來中文因該是
"有鑑於恐龍滅絕著墨了那麼多, 實在令人驚訝megafauna卻沒更多(研究的)投入"

但不知道 "even more hasn't" 怎麼用?
"that"後 有動詞 "hasn't been devoted', 那有主詞嗎?

in order to highlight the need to promote the ISS in a positive way

原文:
"The writer refers to the Hubble Space Telescope in order to highlight the need to promote the ISS in a positive way"

對這句話中文的理解是
"作者提及Hubble Space Telescope是為了突顯"正面宣傳ISS的需求"

原句need後面放個to就是覺得很卡,..., 其實我第一時間是看不懂這句話...

如果意思是我猜的那樣, 那我會寫成像下面這樣
"The writer refers to the Hubble Space Telescope in order to highlight the need of promoting  in a positive way for the ISS"

marketing report

原文:
1. Anna: Well, since this is your first marketing report, you're not expected to go out and do interviews and things to collect your own data, you're just using published data. So the analysis you do might not throw up anything that people didn't know before. But the focus is more on how you handle the data. I mean, you might take something like a graph of sales directly from a website, but what makes your work original is the perspective you provide by your interpretation of it.

2. Leo: Oh. You know, it's all so different from business studies assignments at school. It's really surprised me.

3. Anna: What? How much research you have to do?

4. Leo: I expected that. It's more... I knew exactly what I had to do to get a good grade at school.
And I knew I'd be expected to go more deeply into things here, but I haven't got information on how the lecturer is going to grade my work - what he's looking for.


問題:
3. Anna為什麼丟出這句話?   "你做了多少研究?"  .不確定這句話和前後文的關係

4.
-"I expected that". 那個that到底是什麼?
-"I haven't got information on how the lecturer is going to grade my work". "我不知道講師會對我怎麼評分"   看不出這句話和前後文的關係

better off

IELTS4 Test1 writing TASK1

"Couples generally tended to be better off, with  lower  poverty levels for couples without  children (7%) than those with children."

"better"就"better",  後面加個"off"是怎樣??

真的不一樣

根據 oxford的說法

be better off

 to have more moneyFamilies will be better off under the new law.Her promotion means she's $100 a week better off.opposite be worse off (than somebody/something)

be better off (doing something)

used to say that somebody is/would be happier or more satisfied if they were in a particular position or did a particular thingShe's better off without him.The weather was so bad we'd have been better off staying at home.
所以此處, 因該是"have more money"=>更富有
