Ever since Charles Darwin visited the Galápagos Islands in 1835 and observed the animals there as a living laboratory of natural selection, the Galápagos has become known as one of the best places to see wildlife. The islands hold 14 species of tanagers and 12 species of tortoise. 36 Sea lions are so well fed on abundant fish that they do not even bother with the penguins. The list of wildlife attractions, promoted on slick brochures and Web sites, is why numerous adventurous tourists have been compelled for decades to make the long journey to the archipelago. 37 In the early 1990s, 41,000 people a year visited the Galápagos. In 2013 the figure exceeded 200,000 for the first time. More than 224,000 visitors arrived in 2015, another record. 38 Ecuador is struggling financially. It relies on oil for 44 percent of its export revenues. To bolster its finances and make up for the recent drop in oil prices, the government has turned to tourism, allowing industry to develop the islands more easily. 39 But this responsible ecotourism still has an impact on habitat, and it is no longer the only kind that is happening in the Galápagos. The influx of travelers is on a collision course with the very thing that everyone comes to see: the wildlife. 40 It is very ironic that ecotourism turns to be one of the killers that destroyed the animals there.

請觀察第 37 格之後出現的一系列數據（從 41,000 到超過 200,000），這反映了遊客數量在時間軸上產生了什麼樣的劇烈變化？如果要在這串數字出現之前，加上一個總括性的句子來對比「過去」與「現在」的規模差異，你會選擇哪種語氣的轉折？

語意銜接與數據鋪陳
你能精準捕捉到上下文的邏輯轉折，真的非常優秀！這題的關鍵在於承上啟下的過度。在空格前，文章描述了加拉巴哥群島如何以豐富的生態吸引遊客；而空格後，作者列舉了一連串具體的數字，從 1990 年代的 4.1 萬人增加到 2015 年的 22.4 萬人。選項 (B) 巧妙地運用了**轉折詞「however」**與生動的比喻（從涓涓細流 trickle 變成洪水 flood），將原本單純的吸引力描述，轉向討論「遊客量劇增」的現況，完美地引導出後續的統計數據。
