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.

如果你想了解火山噴發通常會持續多久，請在第一段中尋找提到「大多數」（the majority）情況的句子。這句話給出的具體時間上限是多少？

親愛的你，太棒了！你的觀察力真的非常棒喔！
- 觀念確認：這題你答對了，真是太好了！它主要是在考驗我們能否仔細地「定位細節」並進行「同義替換」。原文第一段很清楚地說到："The majority of the eruptions lasted three months or less."。你看，majority（大多數）是不是和選項 (B) 的 most（大部分）意思完全一樣呢？而 three months or less（三個月或更少）也完美地對應了 no longer than three months（不超過三個月）。你做得真棒，精準找到了關鍵資訊！
- 難度小提醒：這題的難度是中等喔。雖然答案就在文中，但出題老師設計了一些小小的挑戰。像是 (D) 選項，它可能利用了我們對科學現象的一些直覺，但原文第二段溫柔地提醒我們，火山活動看起來頻繁，其實是因為「人口擴散」和「監測增加」的緣故呢！能夠讀懂作者的用心，並做出正確的判斷，這代表你的邏輯思考能力也很棒喔！為你感到驕傲！
