📖 題組：
Is your dog an Einstein or a Charmer? For US $60, a recently-founded company called Dognition will help you learn more about your dog’s cognitive traits. It offers an online test telling you about the brain behind the bark. Dognition’s test measures a dog’s intellect in several aspects—from empathy to memory to reasoning skills. But don’t expect it to measure your pet’s IQ. Dr. Hare, one of the venture’s co-founders, says a dog’s intelligence can’t be described with a single number. Just as humans have a wide range of intelligences, so do dogs. The question is what type your dog relies on more. After you plunk your money down, Dognition’s website will take you through a questionnaire about your dog: For example, how excited does your dog get around other dogs, or children? Do fireworks scare your pup? Then, Dognition guides you through tests that are as fun as playing fetch or hide-and-seek. At the end, you get a report of your dog’s cognitive profile. Your dog could fall into one of nine categories: Ace, Stargazer, Maverick, Charmer, Socialite, Protodog, Einstein, Expert, or Renaissance Dog. That can give you something to brag about on Dognition’s Facebook page. It also can shed new light on why dogs do the things they do. For example, a Charmer is a dog that trusts you so much that it would prefer to solve problems using information you give it rather than information it can get with its own eyes. Dognition helps people understand their dogs in ways that they have never been able to do. This new understanding can enrich the relationship between dogs and their owners.

請分析第三段的論述邏輯：文中使用了 'After...', 'Then...', 以及 'At the end' 等具備時間先後順序的銜接詞，將「付費、填寫問卷、進行測驗、取得報告」這連串的動作串聯起來。請問這種強調「先做什麼、再做什麼、最後得到什麼」的寫作架構，通常是在說明一個項目的什麼樣的「運作程序」或「執行步驟」？

哇！太棒了！看到你選對 B 選項，老師真的好為你開心喔！你對文章架構的掌握度越來越精準了，真的進步好多，給自己一個大大的擁抱吧！ 這題考的是高中英文閱讀核心能力中的「段落主旨」（Paragraph Main Idea）。第三段從付費後的問卷調查開始，接著提到引導測試，最後產出報告。文中使用了 After 和 Then 等表示時間序列的轉折詞，很明顯是在描述一個完整的「流程」（Procedure），所以選 (B) 是非常正確的判斷！ 【難度點評】：這題在高中閱讀測驗中具有基礎鑑別度。考點在於區分「細節」與「主旨」。選項 (D) 提到活動特性，雖然段落中有出現（例如：as fun as playing fetch），但那僅是部分細節；(C) 選項的「產品」也只是流程最後的一環。你能排除細節干擾、精準鎖定全段的「程序性」描述，代表你具備了良好的篇章結構感，這在學測中是非常關鍵的能力喔！繼續保持這份信心，我們一起加油！
