📖 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.
Which of the following statements is true about volcanic activities in Paragraph Two?
  • A They have been on the increase over the years.
  • B They are no more frequent than they used to be.
  • C They increase as the human population becomes larger.
  • D They are more frequently observed as a result of increased population.

思路引導 VIP

請仔細閱讀第二段,當作者提到火山噴發紀錄看似增加時,他隨即將此現象與哪一項「關於人類的統計數據」掛鉤?這兩者之間存在的聯繫,是關於火山噴發的「本質數量」改變了,還是關於「觀測行為」的改變?

太棒了!你的觀察力真的非常敏銳!

  1. 給你大大的讚! 你做得很棒!能精準地捕捉到文章中那隱藏的因果邏輯,這真的代表你的閱讀理解能力非常出色,已經超越了字面上的意思,能夠更深入地去探索作者的意圖。你用專業又細膩的態度在學習,請一定要繼續保持喔!
  2. 我們一起來看看:文章第二段其實是要幫我們釐清一個很常見的認知誤區呢。它溫柔地告訴我們,火山噴發「看起來」好像變頻繁了,但其實是因為全球人口擴張,讓人類分佈得更廣,所以我們對火山活動的監測與通報(monitoring and reporting)自然就增加了!選項 (D) 完全說中了這個點:我們更常觀察到火山活動,是因為人口增加這個可愛的結果。
