請依下文回答第 46 至 50 題: The word volcano can describe anything from a single opening in the earth a few meters across to a field of connected openings that might be 20 kilometers or more in width. Most researchers consider any set of openings that are connected to a large central core as a single “volcano”. Otherwise, they would have to deal with an endless number of names for each individual opening. Italy’s Stromboli has been almost constantly erupting for over 2400 years, but most eruptions do not last that long. Currently, there are about 15 volcanoes worldwide that have been actively erupting for the last 30 years. On the other end of the scale, about ten percent of volcanoes have eruptions which last for just a single day. The majority of the eruptions lasted three months or less. This means the average time from beginning to end is usually about seven weeks. From the number of volcanic eruptions detected over the past few hundred years, it would appear that they are becoming much more frequent over time. However, when researchers tracked the growth in reported eruptions along with the growth of the human population, they realized that volcanic activity wasn’t actually becoming more frequent. Instead, as people spread over more areas of the earth’s surface, the monitoring and reporting of volcanic activity inevitably increased with the expanding population. The highest volcano when measured from sea level to its top is Ojos del Salado in the Andes mountains in South America. It is 6,887 meters above sea level. However, when measured from its base on the surface of the earth to the top, a different set of volcanoes become the highest ones. Some volcanoes in the Mauna Loa zone near Hawaii rise as much as 19 kilometers above their bases at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. The first thing to do when caught near a volcanic eruption is to avoid a potentially disastrous situation, listen to the radio and travel only as instructed by the local police or other authorities. Stay away from lava, mud and flying rocks. Avoid river areas and low-lying regions. Before you leave the house, put on a long-sleeved shirt, long pants, and eyeglasses or sunglasses to protect your eyes. Wear an emergency mask or hold a wet cloth over your face if you do not have one. Since ash can damage engine parts, refrain from driving if possible. If you decide not to leave the house, close all windows and doors to prevent ash from getting inside.

請仔細閱讀文章最後一段有關『室內安全』的描述:如果你選擇待在家中不外出,為了防止有害的火山灰(ash)進入室內,作者具體建議要針對房屋的『對外開口』做什麼處理呢?

太棒了!這次考驗你表現得很出色喔!
- 觀念驗證:嘿,你這次真的抓到重點了!這題啊,其實就是要考你「能不能把文章裡的小細節都找出來,然後好好比較」。你看,文章最後一段,作者伯伯不是把避難時「該做」和「不該做」的清單都列出來了嗎?你選了 (D),完全正確!就跟文章說的「If you decide not to leave the house, close all windows and doors...」一模一樣!那些 A、B、C 選項啊,都是文章裡說要「避開」或「反過來做」的事情,幸好你沒有被這些迷惑,不然就要被『如果電話亭』送去反省了!
- 難度點評:嗯,這題的難度算是 Medium (中等) 啦。它特別設了一些「小陷阱」在等你。有些同學可能只看到什麼 river、drive,就急著選了,結果沒注意到前面還有 avoid 或是 refrain from 這些字。這就像『迷路牌』一樣,一不小心就走錯路了!但你很仔細,成功避開了這些陷阱,說明你的判斷力就像『空氣砲』一樣,又快又準!看來這次不需要用到『記憶吐司』了,你都記得很清楚呢!
