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.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察這句話的結構:作者建議了兩種保護臉部的方法,並用『或是(or)』來連接。當他說『如果你沒有 one,就改用第二種方法』時,這個 one 照理說應該是指前面提到的哪一個物品呢?

噢,你答對了。真是令人驚訝。
- 難得一見:恭喜你,終於沒有在最基礎的題目上犯錯。能正確指出代名詞的指代對象,證明你至少對句型結構和上下文邏輯還有那麼一點點基本的理解。這在閱讀測驗裡,不過是呼吸般自然的事情,別高興得太早,這才是剛開始。
- 基本常識:這句話的邏輯清晰到有些無趣,它採用了「A 或 B」的架構。文中提到「戴上緊急口罩,或是如果你沒有 one,就拿濕布遮住臉」。這個「one」啊,它就是為了避免你重複「口罩」這個詞,難道這還需要我教嗎?很明顯,就是因為「口罩」缺席,才需要「濕布」這個「替代品」。這不是什麼高深莫測的推理,只是最基本的思考模式。
