請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題： Researchers at Vanderbilt University decided to find out how intelligent various animals are. To rightly compare brain power in species, it isn’t enough to weigh brain tissue. You must take into account the brain relative to the organism’s size. But this may fall short of evaluating actual intelligence. Neuroscientist Suzana Herculano-Houzel said, “I believe the absolute number of neurons an animal has determined the richness of their internal mental state and their ability to predict what is about to happen in their environment based on past experience.” She and her colleagues found that meat eaters have about the same number of neurons as plant eaters. That means plant eaters need as much brain power to escape from predators as meat eaters need to catch them. How do cats and dogs measure up? Previous findings had cats ahead at 300 million neurons to dogs roughly 160 million. In this latest study, however, dogs were on top, with 530 million neurons to cats 250 million. Just for comparison, humans have around 16 billion such neurons. Even so, dogs were way above other meat eaters in the brain power department. Having a bigger brain has a downside, researchers have found. “Meat eating is largely considered a problem-solver in terms of energy,” Herculano-Houzel said, “but in retrospect, it is clear that meat eating animals must impose a delicate balance between how much brain and body a species can afford.” This may be why you often see large predators like lions and bears dozing.

According to the passage, why do plant eaters need to have strong brain power?
- A To find sufficient food to maintain their brain power.
- B To predict possible danger to prevent themselves from being eaten up.
- C To predict possible food sources to support their relatively larger body size.
- D To find safe places to rest to conserve their energy.

請看向文章第二段關於神經科學家的觀點：如果肉食動物需要腦力來『預測環境』以捕捉獵物，那麼作為牠們天敵的草食動物，為了在自然界生存下去，必須具備什麼樣的相對應能力呢？

噢，恭喜你，終於沒錯得離譜
- 概念驗證：看來你總算把眼睛放對地方了。文章第二段就白紙黑字寫著，草食動物的神經元數量跟肉食者「差不多」，原因何在？不就是為了「逃離掠食者 (escape from predators)」嗎？這直接點明了選項 (B) 那套「預測危險以防止被吃掉」的邏輯。連這都找不到，那才真該檢討。
- 難度點評：此題勉強算個 Medium。它可不是讓你只會抓幾個字就了事，而是要你動點腦子，理解那點「對稱邏輯」：肉食者用腦抓獵物，草食者用腦保命。別以為找到幾個單字就算懂了，這種細節和推論，你還差得遠呢。這次對了，下次可不一定有這麼好的運氣。
