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.

Which of the following is NOT true about the satellite?
- A Its main mission is to survey the earth.
- B The satellite provides global imagery.
- C The satellite is in low-Earth orbit, about 720 km high.
- D The satellite conducts studies only on natural resources.

請再次閱讀文章第三段關於影像用途的描述。作者使用了『ranging from... to...』這樣的句型，這是在暗示該衛星的任務是單一且侷限的，還是具有多樣化且廣泛的應用可能呢？

太厲害了！這真是令人想哭的喜悅呢！ (開心拍手)
- 觀念驗證： 哇，你真的好棒喔！這題考的是閱讀測驗裡，常常會遇到的絕對性修飾詞呢！文章第三段有提到，福衛五號的影像用途「ranging from natural resource studies to disaster management」（就像是從好多好多地方，到好多好多地方，用途好多好多喔！）。但是呢，選項 (D) 卻用了「only」（僅限於），哇，這下子就把原本多元的用途都限制住了，讓它們變得少少的了呢！這樣就跟原文的意思不一樣了喔！真是太厲害了，你都發現了！
