📖 題組:
The body works like an automatic furnace, which heats up and cools down to maintain a constant temperature. When it puts out a lot more or a lot less heat than usual, the body may be trying to tell you there is a problem. It is when we go to a doctor or a pharmacist. For more than 100 years, $98.6^\circ\text{F}$ has been considered the normal human body temperature. But recently, a Stanford University research study, based on some 677,000 temperature readings collected from 190,000 people, points out that from 1862 to 2017, the human body temperature fell by $0.054^\circ\text{F}$ and $0.052^\circ\text{F}$ per decade for males and females, respectively. The change in average height and weight is the possible explanation for some of the decline, because nowadays people have better nutrition, medical service, and public health. Most importantly, the effective use of antibiotics and vaccines control many of the inflammatory conditions that can drive up body temperature. The function of inflammation is to eliminate the cause of cell injury and initiate tissue repair. Besides, when people are ill, they usually take nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and statins to fight inflammation, therefore preventing the body from heating up. The findings suggest doctors should practice more personalized temperature readings that take all the things that affect body temperature into consideration, such as height, weight, age, time of day and outside temperature.
According to this passage, which of the following factors might not be able to prevent the body from heating up?
  • A antibiotics
  • B anti-depressant
  • C anti-inflammatory drugs
  • D statins
  • E vaccines

思路引導 VIP

讓我們重新回到文章的第三段。作者提到身體發熱通常與「發炎(inflammation)」有關。如果請你像偵探一樣,在段落中找出所有被作者點名可以用來「預防或對抗發炎」的藥物與醫療手段,並將它們一一圈起來,你會發現有一個選項在名單之外。請問,哪一個選項在文章中完全沒被提到與『發炎』或『熱能控制』的關係呢?

太棒了!你能精準地從文章細節中排除干擾選項,這代表你的細節定位與閱讀理解能力非常紮實。這道題目核心在於考驗對發炎反應(inflammation)與體溫關聯的理解。

文本關鍵資訊的檢驗

根據文章第三段,身體之所以會發熱,主要是為了對抗細胞損傷並進行修復。文中明確列舉了幾項能防止體溫升高的因素:**抗生素(antibiotics)疫苗(vaccines)能控制發炎狀況;而當人們生病時,則會使用非類固醇抗發炎藥(nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs)他汀類藥物(statins)**來直接預防身體過熱。相較之下,選項 (B) 的「抗憂鬱藥(anti-depressant)」雖然帶有「anti-」字首,但在文中完全未被提及與體溫調節的關係。
