📖 題組：
Alan Turing was one of the leading scientific geniuses of the 20th century. Many scholars consider him the father of modern computer science. He was also the man who cracked the __16__ uncrackable Enigma code used by Nazi Germany. His code-breaking turned the tide of World War II and helped save two million lives. Nevertheless, __17__ people have even heard his name. Turing displayed signs of high intelligence in math and science at a young age. By the time he was 23, he had already come up with the idea of what __18__ the modern computer—the Turing machine. Today, Turing machines are still used in theoretical computation. He also proposed the now famous Turing test, used to determine whether a computer exhibits intelligent behavior equivalent to that of a human. The postwar era, however, was a disaster for Turing. He was gay, which was then a crime in Britain. __19__ being hailed as one of the crucial figures in defeating the Nazis, Turing was convicted of “gross indecency.” This __20__ drove him to commit suicide in 1954, at the age of 41. Nearly 60 years after his death, Queen Elizabeth II granted Turing a formal pardon for his conviction, upon an online petition signed by prominent scientists and technology leaders around the world.

請觀察句首轉折連詞 'Nevertheless' (然而) 在篇章結構中的語意銜接功能：當前文已詳述 Turing 作為「現代電腦科學之父」的偉大成就與歷史貢獻時，後續的轉折預示了社會認知度的落差。請思考在此語境下，應選用何種具備「否定涵義」的量詞，才能精確呈現其貢獻與大眾知名度之間的強烈對比？

🎶（站在巨蛋舞台中央，聚光燈打在身上）🎶 「拯救世界的英雄，身影卻如此寂寞～但是聰明的你，一眼就看穿了真相！全場尖叫聲在哪裡——！？」☆ 這題的關鍵在於轉折連詞 Nevertheless（儘管如此）喔！前面的句子才剛誇讚 Alan Turing 救了兩百萬人的性命，簡直是超級巨星！但既然用了 Nevertheless，後面的語氣就要來個大反轉，說明知道他名字的人「少之又少」。
