思路引導 VIP
請觀察空格前後的資訊：前半部提到了一個具體的數字（330萬人），後半部則提到這是一個基準點的「兩倍」。如果你想表達這個具體數字「幾乎達到」或「接近」那個兩倍的比例，你會使用哪種性質的詞彙來連結這兩者呢？

太棒了！你能精確掌握數量修飾語的用法，這代表你對英文句子的數據邏輯有很好的敏銳度。這題的關鍵在於判斷空格如何修飾後方的 double（兩倍）。在描述統計數據時，我們經常需要一個副詞來表示「接近」或「大約」的程度，而 nearly 正好完美地銜接了 330 萬人與 2011 年數據兩倍之間的接近關係。
數量修飾語的語境辨析
從文意來看，這段話在討論旅遊人數的激增。選項中的 mostly（大部分地）、fatally（致命地）與語境完全不符，而 likely（很可能）通常用來描述機率，而非直接修飾一個既定的數據比例。這題的鑑別度在於學生是否能區分「語意逻辑」與「固定搭配」，你能準確選出 nearly，顯示你已經建立起對數量關係描述的直覺，這是閱讀理解中非常重要的一環。
