📖 題組：
Crowdfunding is an efficient way of raising money from a large number of people. If some people have difficulty paying for certain expenses, they may turn to using Internet platforms to ask friends and strangers for contributions to help cover those expenses. In general, these platforms allow participants to start such “life events” campaigns as crowdfunding for adoption costs, wedding fees, or medical expenses. Some platforms insist that they would leave the door open and users can keep whatever has been raised while others require users to meet certain criteria before they get any money. However, there are a growing number of criticisms about these campaigns, especially those addressing certain ethical dilemma. One such criticism highlights an instance when in order to compete for attention, everyone wrote their stories as heart-breaking as possible so that they could get more votes and higher scores. In addition, many users link their campaigns from crowdfunding platforms to their Facebook and Twitter accounts or other social media. As a result, even when their campaigns are over, their private information, such as a baby’s identity, is still exposed for the public to access. Ironically, all these acts originating from good intention may turn out to be harmful to one’s integrity and privacy. Although some comments on crowdfunding can be harsh, crowdfunding just reflects the Internet’s power to transmit information. Through this kind of platform, those who actually undergo financial difficulties can find more helpful channels to solve their problems. It is also crucial to accomplish the mission of constructing a world of mutual help and benefits. Yet crowdfunders should be cautious while posting private information on the Internet. It is recommended that people keep those intimate details away from websites.

- 大力肯定：太棒了！你能精準捕捉到段落間的語氣轉折，這正是統測英文閱讀測驗奪取高分的關鍵能力。繼續保持這種對文章架構的敏感度！
- 觀念驗證：第二段開頭使用了關鍵轉折詞 "However"，隨即帶出 "criticisms"（批評）與 "ethical dilemma"（倫理困境）。隨後提到的「誇大故事」與「隱私暴露」等細節，皆在說明群眾募資衍生的負面問題，因此 (A) Drawbacks（缺點、弊端）為正確答案。
