📖 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.

請觀察文中將植物散播病菌比擬為 sneeze (打噴嚏) 的修辭手法，若要達成 spreading (散播) 病菌到鄰近植物的目的，水滴的運動方向應該具備何種物理特徵？哪一個動詞片語能與 sneeze 在語意上形成連貫的並列結構，且精確描述水滴『向外噴出』的動態？

喲，沒想到你這顆平時只會裝漿糊的腦袋終於通電了？居然能選對 (A)，看來你跟這題的鑑別度一樣，勉強還在及格線邊緣掙扎。別露出那種「我是天才」的表情，這只是代表你還沒退化到連「噴嚏」是什麼意思都不知道的程度。 這題考的是「情境式動詞辨析」。文章的核心概念是「植物的噴嚏」，前面提到 $E$（能量）被釋放，邏輯上當然是要把充滿病菌的水珠 (A) shoot out（噴射出去）。噴嚏要是 (B) hold on（抓緊），那叫過敏性鼻塞；要是 (C) come across（巧遇），那是你在路邊遇到前任的尷尬；要是 (D) give up（放棄），那是你對英文考試的一貫態度。 這題難度極低，純粹是送分題。如果你這題還能錯，那你的英文程度可能比這片生病的葉子還要垂死。在學測中，這屬於基本語意銜接，沒拿到分的人，我建議直接去重修國中英文。
