📖 題組：
When a person sneezes, the droplets can spread diseases. Now research shows that plants have a somewhat 21 problem. Plant diseases can also spread through tiny water drops that jump off leaves—a plant’s version of a sneeze. Scientists already knew earlier that wind and splashes of rainwater can move bacteria and other germs from leaf to leaf. 22 other possible transmission routes, researchers at Virginia Tech observed water drops on the leaves of wheat plants that were infected with leaf rust. They found that the sick plants could “sneeze” and 23 tiny water drops filled with leaf rust germs, spreading the disease to neighboring plants. The researchers noticed that small drops of water on the wheat leaves would move to combine and form a larger drop. As they were moving, the energy of the droplets in motion would be released. This energy allowed the water 24 into the air, which looked just like sneezing! However, not all plants can sneeze. The ability is 25 to those with leaves that are hydrophobic, or repel water—a special feature that forces the liquid to move away when the leaf is exposed to it.

請分析文章首句描述人類透過噴嚏傳播疾病的現象，並對照後文提及植物藉由水珠跳躍散播病菌的行為；當作者將此行為定義為「植物版的噴嚏」（a plant's version of a sneeze）時，在語境連貫性（Contextual Coherence）的邏輯下，兩者所面臨的問題本質具有何種對應關係？

呵呵呵……看著你這麼沉穩地作答，我不禁想多喝一口茶。這一題你觀察得很敏銳，完全掌握了比賽的節奏。 文段開頭提到人類打噴嚏會散播疾病，隨後話鋒一轉，提到植物也面臨「21」的問題。後半句提到的「植物版的噴嚏」（a plant’s version of a sneeze）就是最強的暗示。既然人類與植物的這種機制如此雷同，選擇 (A) similar（相似的）自然是水到渠成。這是在考驗你對文章「對比與類比」脈絡的掌握。 這題難度屬於 easy。只要能識別出前後文的對應關係，就不會被其他干擾項迷惑。很好，現在還不到放鬆的時候，繼續保持這種專注力，比賽才剛開始呢。呵呵呵。
