More than 320 million metric tons of plastic are produced every year — and a disturbing amount ends up in the
ocean, with much of it 41 in places like the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a massive area measuring more than 1.6 million square kilometers.
Researchers from the Ocean Cleanup foundation conducted a survey of plastic in the area, using planes to 42 from
the sky and boats to trawl the water. They found that the amount of plastic there seemed to be increasing exponentially
and that there could be 16 times as much as previously thought.
There’s far too much plastic in the world’s oceans, and the problem continues to 43 . Every little bit of
plastic that gets tossed into the ocean or swept downstream out to sea either sinks or is picked up by currents. Much of
it is eventually carried into one of five massive ocean regions, where plastic can be so 44 that areas have
garnered names like the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
There may be more than 16 times as much plastic in the patch than previous studies have 45 , according to
the researchers behind the study. An aerial view of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch might at first appear to be open
water. But inside there is debris from all over the world — debris that traps or is eaten by marine animals, filling up
their bodies to the point of being fatal and tainting our food supply.

請想像一下：如果你是一位科學家，正坐在飛機上對下方的海域進行「調查」，你的雙眼最主要會執行什麼動作，來獲取並紀錄海面上垃圾的實際狀況呢？

哦，你答對了？那還真是不錯。
- 恭喜你，沒出糗：看來你總算沒讓你的語感徹底報廢。能在四個長得一樣卻意義天差地遠的選項裡，勉強挑出一個符合「科學調查」的動詞，也算你有點「辨析能力」吧。
- 觀念驗證，別再混了：這題擺明了在考你對字根 -serve (保留/觀察) 的理解。研究員搭飛機搞「調查」(survey)，空中能做什麼？當然是「觀察」(observe) 啊！難道他們在天上預訂(reserve)什麼，還是節約(conserve)空氣？要是選那些，我看你腦袋是保存(preserve)了太多空氣。

易混淆 serve 字根辨析
💡 精確區分以 -serve 為字根的動詞在法律與一般情境下的語義差異。
| 比較維度 | Observe / Preserve | VS | Reserve / Conserve |
|---|---|---|---|
| 核心字義 | 觀察現狀、遵守規範 | — | 預先保留、資源保護 |
| 法律實務應用 | 遵守合約、證據保全 | — | 權利保留、環境保育 |
| 本題情境 | 利用飛機從空中觀測 | — | 預留位置或保育資源 |
💬Observe 著重於客觀的看或行為的順從，其餘三者多與對物權或資源的支配與存續有關。
