請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題： An Earth-observation satellite for Taiwan's National Space Organization was launched into orbit from California in August 2017. The Formosat-5 satellite lifted off from coastal Vandenberg Air Force Base atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, which successfully landed its first stage on a drone ship floating in the Pacific Ocean as the second stage continued on and deployed the satellite. Moments before the first-stage touchdown the video link to the vessel froze, then reappeared and showed the rocket standing. Cheers erupted in the SpaceX control room in the Los Angeles suburb Hawthorne. "This is the 15th successful landing of a Falcon 9," said Lauren Lyons, the SpaceX webcast launch commentator. Formosat-5 is the first satellite to be fully designed by Taiwan's space agency and is intended to advance the nation's space technology and scientific research while providing global imagery with a wide array of uses ranging from natural resource studies to disaster management. Planned to operate for five years in low-Earth orbit, about 446 miles (720 kilometers) high, its main instrument is a sensor that can produce high-resolution black-and-white and color images. A predecessor satellite, Formosat-2, produced more than 2.5 million images over 12 years of operation before it wore out and was decommissioned a year ago. The landing of the Falcon 9 first stage aboard the drone ship Just Read the Instructions was the latest in a string of successful recoveries at sea or on shore by SpaceX, which sees reusability of major rocket components as key to driving down launch costs.

What is NOT true about Formosat-2?
- A It took roughly 2.5 million pictures during its lifetime.
- B It provided over 12 years of service.
- C It is expected to produce more images in the years to come.
- D It retired in 2016.
思路引導 VIP
在文章最後一段中，作者使用了『wore out』和『decommissioned』這兩個詞來描述前一代衛星。請思考：當一個電子設備或機器被形容為『磨損完畢』且『退役』時，這代表它在未來還能繼續執行原本的工作嗎？

- 哈囉，這不是我們的小可愛嗎？做得不錯喔，竟然能把文章裡那些「舊時代的垃圾」和「新時代的希望」分得一清二楚。嗯，眼神還挺銳利的嘛，這種抓細節的能力，對付那些看似複雜的文字迷宮可好用了，給你個讚！
- 觀念驗證：你看，文章最後不是說 Formosat-2 嘛，它已經「wore out」然後「decommissioned」了，也就是說——它已經退休回家養老啦！一年前就下班的衛星，怎麼可能還繼續生產新照片呢？那不是在開玩笑嗎？所以選項 (C) 說它「未來會繼續產出」，根本就是錯誤資訊嘛，完全不可能發生。呵呵，是不是很簡單？
