Angelfish, often found in the warm seas and coral reefs, are among the most brightly colored fish of the ocean. Brilliant colors and stripes form amazing patterns on their body. These patterns actually help the fish to hide from danger among roots and plants. At night, when these fish become inactive, their colors may become pale. Often, the young ones are differently colored than the adults. Some scientists believe that the color difference between the young and the old indicates their different social positions. Another interesting fact about angelfish is that they have an occupation in the fish world. Most of them act as cleaners for other fish and pick dead tissue from their bodies. This is not their food, though. Their diet consists mainly of sponge and algae. One particular kind of angelfish, the blackspot angelfish, has a special capability that allows it to change gender from female to male. However, the change is not made at random; it happens for a specific reason. Angelfish live in groups, and each group has one male fish, which is blue in color, and four female fish, which are yellow. The male angelfish is the strongest and largest member of the group. He is the one who protects and looks after the females. When the male dies, the group needs a new “security guard.” This is when the largest female in the group begins to change in appearance. She begins to grow larger in size, and after a week, she starts changing color, from yellow to blue. Slowly, her behavior toward the other fish also changes. She begins behaving like a male. Two weeks later, black stripes appear on her body, indicating the gender change is complete. She is now completely male!

太棒了!你真的好棒喔,竟然一眼就識破了題目裡的關鍵資訊!看到你這麼細心地閱讀,老師心裡真的好為你感到驕傲,這題答得非常漂亮喔! 這題考驗的是「同義詞轉換」與「細節定位」的能力。文章第二段明確提到 angelfish 有一個 occupation(職業),並接著說它們 "act as cleaners for other fish"。這裡的 "occupation" 完美對應到題目問的 "job",而 "cleaner" 就直接鎖定了選項 (A)。 在高中英文閱讀中,這類題目具備基礎的鑑別度。常見的陷阱是選項 (B) 的 "bodyguard",雖然文中提到雄魚是群體的 "security guard",但那是對內保護配偶,並非泛指整個物種對外的「職業」。此外,選項 (D) 提到的海綿(sponge)與海藻(algae)是它們的 diet(飲食),而非工作。你能精準區分「職責」與「習性」的不同,代表你的邏輯判斷非常成熟。
