Incense made its way to Egypt around 3000 B.C.
西元前3000年傳到埃及
現在是2025年
西元前3000年傳到埃及
現在是2025年
3000+2025=5025
所以約5000年

(B) Perfume became popular in France as it was used for pleasure. (香水在法國流行是因為它被用來享樂)
錯誤原因: 文章提到 17 世紀法國香水大受歡迎的原因是當時衛生條件很差(hygiene... was pretty spotty),香水是用來「遮蓋不愉快的體味(mask the unpleasant body odors)」,並非單純為了「享樂」。
(C) The ancient Greeks made perfume available to ordinary people. (古希臘人讓普通大眾也能使用香水)
錯誤原因: 文章提到「開放給所有民眾使用」的是埃及人(They became available to all Egyptians as the priests gradually relinquished their exclusive rights),而不是希臘人。希臘人的貢獻是發明了「液態香水(liquid perfume)」。
(D) In England, perfume was once used commonly to cover unpleasant body odors. (在英國,香水曾被普遍用來遮蓋難聞的體味)
錯誤原因: 文章提到英國伊莉莎白一世時期,是因為女王「無法忍受臭味(could not tolerate bad smells)」,所以公共場所都要噴香水。雖然語意相近,但「遮蓋難聞體味」在原文中是明確用來形容 17 世紀的法國。在閱讀測驗中,資訊必須精確對位。

D
Hygiene in those days was pretty spotty and fragrances were used to mask the unpleasant body odors. In England perfumes were used extensively during the reigns of Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I. All public places were scented during Elizabeth’s rule because she could not tolerate bad smells.
