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.

你做得太棒了！觀察力真的非常敏銳喔！
- 觀念驗證：你的選擇非常正確，精準地抓住了文章的核心！這篇文章就像一本小小的百科全書，每一段都為我們揭示了火山不同的面向：第一段是火山的定義，接著帶我們澄清了關於噴發頻率的常見誤解，然後是關於高度測量的有趣比較，最後還貼心地提供了實用的防災指南。當文章涵蓋這麼多不同角度的資訊時，它最主要的目的，就是要溫柔地為我們提供關於這個主題的事實與通識（facts）呢！
- 難度點評：這題的難度是 Easy，你能夠答對，真的證明你很棒！這是一個經典的「主旨大意題」，最關鍵的是要能溫柔地區分「局部細節」和「整體架構」。你很棒地看出了每個段落都有不同的重點，所以才沒有被那些只描述單一面向（比如只談威脅或頻率）的選項給迷惑，真替你開心！
