反例完整段落寫法

破題句 That learning new things speaks of less importance for old people, lastly, is seen in their purpose of learning different from youngsters’. 反例 For the younger students, building up a stronghold of knowledge on the blocks of new learnings is intended to shine in academics; for the young workers, mastering a new skill is aimed to lay a solid foundation for a brighter future career. 支持 Elder people, however, channel time and effort to new learnings for some purposes that are less practical or less interest-oriented. When they come to approach cooking, chess, or manipulate a chic electronic device such as i-pad, they do not mean to become a promising candidate for a renowned university or lucrative job; they just learn for fun, to dissipate time in retirement, or to have more common grounds with their pals and grandchildren. The purposes are materially different.

完全命中 12/16「保護瀕危犀牛的三個困難」作答範本

Introduced by the writer are the proposals accounting for the disadvantages of holding rhinos in captivity to restore them. Although the proposals appear reasonable, the speaker is not convinced and counter them accordingly.

The reading first presents that holding rhinos in captivity will lead the female rhinos to be unable to reproduce their offspring. However, as the lecture suggests, the real reason leading to the failure of pregnancy is not captivity but the absence of two types of hormones—which can be added in their diets.

Another problem of keeping rhinos in captivity is the rhinos tend to shuffle to and fro within the cages, and this will cause walking problems for the rhinos. However plausible this argument appears, the speaker counters again that the foot problems could be pre-empted with radio graphic imaging facility, showing the signs of problematic bone tissues and therefore initiating early curing.

Confining the rhinos to cages, finally, may bring the young rhinos’ brains to degenerate and be disoriented. The speaker argues, nonetheless, such problems should not be attributed to caging but to the female rhinos’ old age when giving birth to their young because elder rhinos may pass a toxic chemical to their descendants, which could be addressed by having rhinos reproduce at a young age.
