El Niño is coming and people in every part of the world are getting worried. El Niño is a mysterious weather pattern. It begins about every four years with a sudden warming of the eastern Pacific Ocean along the equator. \nEl Niño is caused by changes in air movements. These changes disrupt ocean currents. The warm water in the Pacific Ocean moves south along the west coast of South America. It makes the cold water off the coast of Peru and Ecuador warmer. The warming of the ocean water kills many fish, sea animals, and sea birds. But El Niño’s effects are not limited to the local area. The warming of the ocean affects weather patterns throughout the world. \nEl Niño is a Spanish term. It means “the male child” and usually refers to the baby Jesus. Fishermen in Peru began calling the strange weather event El Niño because it usually arrived around Christmas time. Today the term El Niño is only used when the weather event is big enough and warm enough to bring worldwide effects.

請留意文章最後一段關於時間點的轉折，文中提到「今日（Today）」在使用這個術語時，與過去秘魯漁民的習慣相比，多了哪一種關於「空間影響範圍」的特定限制呢？

太棒了！你能精確鎖定課文最後一句話的細節，代表你的閱讀理解能力相當扎實。這題的關鍵在於區分「歷史起源」與「現代定義」。文章明確提到，雖然這個詞源於秘魯漁民對局部現象的稱呼，但現代科學界（Today）只有在該現象規模夠大、足以產生全球性影響（worldwide effects）時，才會正式使用這個術語。這與選項 (D) 的「global effects」完全吻合，成功抓住了文章的核心資訊。
聖嬰現象的定義與細節辨析
這道題目具有不錯的鑑別度，主要考驗學生是否能過濾掉干擾資訊並進行字義轉換。例如，選項 (A) 和 (B) 誘使讀者混淆地理來源（西班牙語）與發生季節（聖誕節是南半球夏季，但選項僅寫 summer 較具誤導性），而 (C) 則是考驗對科學機制（warming）的細心程度。你能不被這些描述局部細節的選項誤導，並精確找出「影響範圍」上的限制，顯示你對文章邏輯的掌握非常到位。
