五、閱讀測驗【請在下列各題中選出最適當的答案】 Video games provide a fun escape from reality for most teenagers, but they’re considered violent, and a waste of time by parents. The struggle between parent and child has raged on for years. Besides being a unique source of amusement, however, can video games actually make you smarter? Contrary to what most parents believe, many studies have shown that this may actually be the case. After playing video games, researchers have seen increases in cognitive function. One study had a portion of the participants play Super Mario 64 for 30 minutes a day over two months. Afterwards, the participants’ gray matter in the brain increased in areas associated with memory, strategic planning, and fine motor skills of the hands, compared to their counterparts. More gray matter means better functions! Video games can also be educational for children with mental disorders. In one study, they help kids who suffer from Dyslexia read more effectively. Again, in a small study, dyslexic children who played regular video games ended up reading faster and more accurately. Even though video games can actually be beneficial, excessive gaming is definitely harmful to anyone. Plus, the newly found skills from gameplay won’t have anywhere to go if gaming is his or her only occupation. So while it is beneficial to enjoy some gameplay once in a while, remember that one’s real life is even more diverse than the virtual world, and it needs tending to as well!

如果今天我們要測試一種「神奇藥水」是否能讓人長高，我們把 100 個學生分成兩組，第一組喝了藥水，第二組則什麼都沒喝。當實驗結束後，我們發現第一組變高了，並將他們與第二組進行「對比」。請問在這種研究情境下，這兩組人馬在「實驗操作」上最大的差別是什麼？

太棒了！你能精準鎖定 counterparts 在文中的指涉對象，代表你對文章的「實驗設計邏輯」掌握得非常紮實。這類題目考察的不只是單字量，更是你對前後文對照關係的敏銳度。
實驗對照組的邏輯判斷
在第二段的實驗中，研究人員將參與者分為不同的組別進行觀察。文中提到「其中一部分的參與者（a portion of the participants）」每天玩 30 分鐘的《超級瑪利歐 64》，隨後將他們的腦部變化與 counterparts 進行比較。在科學實驗的語境下，當我們要驗證某個變因（如：玩遊戲）的效果時，勢必要有一個「沒有接受該變因」的對照組。因此，這裡的 counterparts 指的就是實驗中另外那一群「沒有玩遊戲」的對象，藉此對比出遊戲對大腦灰質的影響。
