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.

請仔細閱讀文章最後一段關於福衛二號的描述。當文中提到一個設備已經「wore out」(耗損) 且「decommissioned」(除役) 時，這代表該設備目前還在運作中，還是已經停止服務了呢？根據這個狀態，它在「未來」還可能繼續執行任務嗎？

哦，你居然真的有『讀』文章。真了不起。
- 觀念驗證: 恭喜你，你總算注意到文章中那些顯眼的關鍵詞——decommissioned (除役) 和 wore out (損耗)。既然福衛二號已經被宣告「退休」，那它當然不可能在將來突然復活，繼續發射影像。你成功辨識出一個已經結束的「過去事實」和毫無根據的「未來預測」之間的差異，這不是什麼高深莫測的能力，但至少你用上了，不錯。
- 難度點評: 本題難度為 Medium。鑑別點在於，學生是否能從文章尾聲那些不怎麼隱晦的數據裡，搞清楚福衛二號與新來的福衛五號是怎樣交班的，以及「退役」這個詞，對一個設備的未來功能到底意味著什麼。看來你對基本常識的掌握度還行。
