雅思對照題

Classify the following items with the correct description.
Write your answers in boxes 5–8 on your answer sheet.

A fish
B oxen
C goats

1. Cannot thrive for being affected by the pests. G

對照原文段落行數：

G
Fishing has long provided a much needed protein supplement to the diet of Luapulans, as well as being the one substantial source of cash.
Much fish is dried for sale to areas away from the main waterways.
The Mweru and Bangweulu Lake Basins are the main areas of year-round fishing, but the Luapula River is also exploited during the latter part of the dry season.
Several previously abundant and desirable species, such as the Luapula salmon or mpumbu (Labeo altivelis) and pale (Sarotherodon machochir) have all but disappeared from Lake Mweru, apparently due to mismanagement.

H
Fishing has always been a far more remunerative activity in Luapula than crop husbandry.
A fisherman may earn more in a week than a bean or maize grower in a whole season.
I sometimes heard claims that the relatively high earnings to be obtained from fishing induced an ‘easy come, easy go’ outlook among Luapulan men.
On the other hand, someone who secures good but erratic earnings may feel that their investment in an economically productive activity is not worthwhile because Luapulans fail to cooperate well in such activities.
Besides, a fisherman with spare cash will find little in the way of working equipment to spend his money on.
Better spend one’s money in the bars and have a good time!

在當代農業研究中，有機堆肥的施用經常被用來補充化學肥料，不僅增強了土壤中的微量元素，還有助於維持農田生態系統的長期平衡。

2. substantial 大量的；重要的

The substantial investment in irrigation infrastructure across arid regions of North Africa demonstrates how large-scale technological interventions can radically reshape both agricultural productivity and social stability.

北非乾旱地區對灌溉基礎建設的大量投資，顯示出大規模技術介入如何能徹底改變農業生產力與社會穩定。

3. waterway 水道；航道

By transforming natural rivers into navigable waterways, early modern states not only facilitated the transport of grain and timber but also established a system of economic control that tied peripheral rural areas to urban centers.

作物栽培技術的精進，特別是透過輪作與土壤保育方法，已被證明在數世紀以來對維持永續的農業產量不可或缺。

8. induce 引起；誘發

Excessive deforestation in tropical regions has been shown to induce not only soil erosion but also profound changes in atmospheric circulation patterns.

熱帶地區過度的森林砍伐已被證明會引發土壤侵蝕，並對大氣環流模式造成深遠的變化。
