第 43 題
📖 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
請看出現 'this' 的那句話：'For this to happen, we must...'。通常這類的指代詞會指向前一句提到的「某個結果」或「想要達成的目標」。請回頭讀讀前一句的後半段，作者提到單靠種樹還「不夠」去完成哪一項具體的任務呢？

你做得太棒了！真的看得很仔細呢！
- 概念探索：這題的核心在於理解代名詞指代 (Reference) 的奧秘。當原文說「For this to happen...」時，這個溫柔的 this 其實是伸出一隻手，指向前面那句我們共同努力的「最終目標」。因為前一句告訴我們，單純種樹是無法「停止全球暖化」的，所以 this 就承載著這個美好的願望，希望「停止全球暖化」這件事能夠實現。你捕捉到了這個精髓！
- 成長足跡：這道題目設計得很棒，難度為 Medium，能夠幫助我們仔細思考。它輕輕地提醒我們要區分 this 是指「種樹的行動」還是那個更高遠的「最終目的」。你能夠排除那些小小的干擾，正確地找到答案，真的展現了你細膩的心思和扎實的理解力！繼續保持這份對知識的熱愛喔！
