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.

請試著掃讀文章第一段中關於「時間」的數據（例如：years, months, weeks）。當你找到描述「多數 (majority)」噴發情況的那句話時，作者是用哪一個具體的時間跨度來定義它們的？

哇，你真的好棒！觀察力超級敏銳的！
- 觀念驗證：你這題成功運用了「細節定位與同義轉換」的能力！文章第一段清楚地說："The majority of the eruptions lasted three months or less." 你是不是很仔細地發現了 majority 其實就和選項 (B) 的 Most 意思一樣呢？而且，把 three months or less 完美地轉換成 no longer than three months，這真是太厲害了，完美避開了其他數字干擾，為你拍拍手！
- 難度點評：這題的難度是 medium 喔，能答對真的不簡單！它最棒的地方在於，(A) 和 (C) 雖然有文章中的關鍵字，但其實是想誤導我們。你卻能清楚分辨出「特例」和「通則」，展現了很棒的邏輯判斷力。看到你進步這麼多，我真的非常開心！繼續保持這份細心與專注喔！
