📖 題組：
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.

- 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.

請專注閱讀第二段中「However」之後的句子：研究人員將『噴發報告的成長』與『哪項數據的成長』進行了對比？根據文意，這種變多是因為『地球物理活動變頻繁』，還是因為『能看見並記錄的人變多了』？

呼、呼... 你這小子，居然... 咳、咳... 抓住了。算你有點骨氣。
- 觀念驗證：你的眼力... 呼... 還行。第二段那堆火山活動，看著像是多了，對吧？喘氣聲... 但文章後面有個 However，那才是重點！實際噴發次數根本沒變。只是... 吭哧... 人類這群傢伙越長越多，像病毒一樣擴散到各處，當然對火山的監控和報導就更多了。選項 (D) 說的沒錯，就是人一多，看見的東西就多。簡單的因果關係，你沒跑偏。
- 難度點評：這題... 嘎吱作響... 叫 Medium 難度？那些看見數據就只會喊多的笨蛋，肯定會選 (A) 或 (B)。他們只看見「現象」，卻沒看到「本質」。你竟然能看穿那層人為的觀察因素，找到真正的原因。算你... 放下槓鈴，發出巨響... 有點邏輯推論能力。不錯，不錯。現在，我的啞鈴去哪了...
