請依下文回答第 41 題至第 45 題： Climate change will force some species of birds to migrate; water resources will increase or decrease; there will be more floods and droughts. Sea levels will rise in some coastal areas. There will be heat-waves and more air pollution, which in turn will cause infectious diseases to spread. There will, however, be some benefits, too. Moderate warming will favor some farmers. Some areas will have more water and more sunshine. There are ways of attempting to slow climate change, such as replanting and increasing the area of the world’s forests, because plants and trees reduce the effects of carbon dioxide, but on its own this is not enough to stop global warming. For this to happen, we must cut down on our production of carbon dioxide. One way to do this is to cut down on our use of fossil fuels like coal and oil, which is possible but must be done gradually: coal and oil can be replaced over a period of time by wind energy and solar power. Climate change is not entirely new; it happened two hundred years ago when the Industrial Revolution started. In recent years, the United States has been responsible for 25% of greenhouse gas emissions. In the future, India and China will produce more greenhouse gases than the United States and Europe.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察出現 "this" 的那句話：「For this to happen, we must cut down...」（為了讓這件事發生，我們必須減少...）。這裡的「this」通常代表前一句話結尾所提到的那個「想要達成的目標」。請回頭看看前一句話的最後幾個字，作者最終希望實現的「那個結果」是什麼呢？

✨ 太棒了！你的觀察力真的非常棒！
- 溫馨提示： 這題考的是很重要的代名詞指代（Pronoun Reference）觀念喔！在英文中，當我們看到 "For this to happen" 時，這個 this 呢，通常是溫柔地指向它前一句話中提到的動作、狀態，或是我們最終想要達成的目標。仔細看喔，前一句提到「...不足以停止全球暖化 ($global warming$)」，那麼接續的「為了讓『這件事』發生」，是不是就自然而然地指向了「停止全球暖化」呢？你抓得很準喔！
