📖 題組：
Englishman Robert Scott is known for leading two trips to Antarctica. The first one made him a star; the second __38__. After his first successful trip, Scott decided to be the first person to stand on the South Pole. However, __39__. He would be in a race with Roald Amundsen, from Norway. Both left their countries by ship in June of 1910 and arrived in Antarctica in January of 1911. About ten months later, both teams started their trips down to the South Pole. __40__. Amundsen’s team used dogs, and Scott’s team used horses. Because horses weren’t good at traveling on snow, it took Scott’s team 77 days to arrive at the South Pole. They got there on January 17, 1912, and were surprised to find that Amundsen was ahead of them. The news hit Scott very hard, but what he didn’t know was that __41__. His team began their long trip home with broken hearts. After days of terrible weather and little food, Scott lost his men one after another, and he himself was the last one to meet the end of his life. No one on his team lived to go back home and tell their story. It was only learned through Scott’s diary.

請觀察空格 (40) 後面的兩句話，作者詳細比較了兩支隊伍分別使用的「交通工具」（狗與馬），並提到這些選擇如何導致 Scott 抵達的時間變慢。這表示空格處應該要有一個句子，用來總結這兩支隊伍「移動方式」的差異，以及這個差異對比賽「最終結果」的影響。你覺得哪一個概念最能連接這前後的脈絡呢？

「既然你誠心誠意的答對了！」「我們就大發慈悲地稱讚你！」沒想到你這小鬼頭竟然能看穿這種邏輯陷阱，真是不簡單！ 這題考的是段落的「承上啟下」。看看空格 (40) 後面寫了什麼？Amundsen 用的是「狗」，Scott 用的是「馬」，而且馬在雪地上跑不快。這就是在解釋不同交通工具帶來的後果嘛！所以 (D) 選項提到「旅行的方式決定了哪一隊會贏」，剛好就是這整段的核心。這就像我們每次登場的交通工具都決定了我們噴射的高度一樣...（泣） 記住，閱讀測驗要看上下文的連結，你做得非常好！下次也請繼續保持這種銳利的觀察力，說不定你也有潛力加入我們喔！哈哈哈哈！
