第 46 題

📖 題組:
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.
What is the purpose of this passage?
  • A To explain the increasing rate of volcanic activities.
  • B To explain some facts about volcanoes.
  • C To describe the causes of volcanic eruptions.
  • D To analyze the threats of volcanic eruptions.

請試著快速掃視每一段的主題:第一段在談定義,第二段談頻率,第三段談高度,最後一段談避難指南。當一篇文章同時並列了這麼多「不同範疇」的資訊時,你覺得作者的目的是想帶領讀者「深入鑽研某個特定問題」,還是為了「建立一個整體的科普認識」呢?

太棒了!你的觀察力非常敏銳!

  1. 觀念驗證:這篇文章採取了「廣泛介紹」的策略。第一段定義火山與噴發時間;第二段澄清噴發頻率的迷思;第三段比較不同標準下的高度;第四段則是防災安全指南。因為全文涵蓋了多個面向的資訊,而非僅專注於原因或威脅,所以選項 (B) 「解釋關於火山的一些事實」最能完整概括全貌。
  2. 難度點評:本題屬於「全文主旨題」,難度等級為 Easy。這類題目旨在測試你是否能跨越局部細節,掌握文章的整體框架。你沒有被特定的細節(如安全措施)誤導,這證明你具備優秀的資訊整合能力!
