📖 題組：
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
請試著在文章中段找出一個表示「轉折」的關鍵詞（例如：however），並觀察該詞出現之前與之後，作者所描述的現象在性質上有什麼顯著的對比？這兩種現象是互相矛盾的，還是同時存在的？

🌟 太棒了！你的觀察力非常敏銳
- 觀念驗證：你能精準選對 (C)，是因為你成功捕捉到了文章的轉折結構。文中先列舉了旱災與疾病等負面影響，但隨即使用「There will, however, be some benefits, too」作為轉折，並提到對農民有利。選項 (C) 正確地總結了這種「破壞性」與「益處」並存的二元觀點。
- 難度點評：本題難度為 medium。它的鑑別度在於測試學生是否能跳脫「氣候變遷一定是壞事」的既定成見，並從文本中找出證據。許多學生會因主觀意識而誤選其他看似合理的負面選項，你能客觀閱讀實屬不易！
