📖 題組：
Whenever there is a war or natural disaster somewhere in the world, different societies of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement often show up to give aid. The movement began in 1859 when a Swiss businessman named Henry Dunant witnessed the Battle of Solferino in Italy. During this fight, nearly 40,000 people were killed or injured. Dunant was horrified by what he saw. Instead of conducting the business he had planned, he took it upon himself to aid wounded soldiers. After this experience, Dunant wrote a book entitled A Memory of Solferino. He sent copies of this book to political and military leaders in Europe. He also started up a relief organization for wounded soldiers, and urged countries to sign treaties regarding the care of wounded soldiers. Along with this, he wanted medics on the battlefield and field hospitals to be considered neutral. In order for opposing sides to identify medics during battles, the international sign of a red cross on a white background would be used. By 1863, the International Committee of the Red Cross was formed, and medics first used the white and red armbands during a battle in Denmark. In 1868, the first Red Crescent was formed in Turkey, and medics used this symbol in a battle during the Ottoman-Russian War. Today, the Red Cross and the Red Crescent are known worldwide.

專業點評：精準鎖定上下文意！
- 大力肯定：做得好！這題考驗的是上下文推論能力。你能從紅十字會的創立宗旨中，精準判斷出 neutral 的核心含義，顯示你的語感與邏輯分析能力都非常到位，這是統測高分的關鍵！
- 觀念驗證：文中提到 Henry Dunant 希望醫護人員與戰地醫院被視為 neutral。結合後文：為了讓「對立雙方」（opposing sides）辨識醫護人員，需佩戴紅十字標誌以確保安全。由此可推知，醫護人員不屬於交戰的任何一方，僅提供人道救援，即為「中立的、不選邊站的」。
