📖 題組：
Since the first case of “Cow Cold” was reported in Kirk State in June, this killer cold has moved up north faster than we thought it would. By July, almost every part of the country had been attacked by Cow Cold. In only two months, the number of dead cows has risen to 5,000. Though Cow Cold started in the south, the east of the country is the worst hit area. By this week, 80% of the farms in Osten State have reported cases of Cow Cold.
The sale of milk in Osten State has slumped because of Cow Cold. Before Cow Cold, the sale of milk in Osten State was$2.5 million each week; now it is less than $500,000.
Odin State is the only area in the north without cases of Cow Cold. Before we know how to deal with Cow Cold, we can only hope Odin State will be lucky enough not to experience the power of this killer cold.

思路引導 VIP
請先看看第一段最後幾句與第三段第一句：文章中說受創最嚴重（worst hit）的是哪個方位？另外，哪個方位有一塊區域是「完全沒有病例（without cases）」的？試著把這兩個線索對照地圖上的方向標（N, E, W, S）與圓圈圖例找找看！

方位與疫情分布的雙重比對
解這類地圖題，關鍵在於抓出文章中的方位名詞與數據特徵。第一段提到，雖然疫情從南方（south）開始，但東部是受創最嚴重的地區（the east of the country is the worst hit area），代表地圖右方（East）應該聚集最多深色的大圓圈（死亡數超過 1,000），光憑這點就能先刪去重災區在南方的 (C) 和 (D)。接著看最後一段的關鍵線索：Odin State 是北方唯一沒有疫情的地區（the only area in the north without cases），對照地圖上方（North）的區塊，只有 (A) 的最北端完全空白、沒有任何代表死亡案例的圓圈，而 (B) 的最北端卻有兩個小圓圈，因此 (A) 完全符合文章描述。
