📖 題組:
Bubble tea isn’t a new arrival in the Tokyo drink landscape, but the beverage has recently enjoyed a popularity boom. - [1] - Perhaps you’ve passed a long line of adolescents in front of a store, or your Instagram feed has been overwhelmed by chunky straws and tapioca-filled, vacuum-sealed cups. - [2] - The drink — which consists of flavored tea, often mixed with milk and sugar, with black tapioca balls at the bottom, waiting to be sucked up — originally comes from Taiwan, and has gained popularity internationally over the past few decades. Its arrival in Japan is a little less clear, though it seems the first real inroads bubble tea made in the country came at the start of the millennium. But the beverage has never been a true trend here until now. While bubble tea has had its devotees over the past decade and a half, it only recently connected with Japanese teens, the arbiters of culinary cool across the archipelago. - [3] - Perhaps owing to bubble tea’s photogenic properties, its colorful, layered toppings and add-ins easily visible in plastic cups, online outlets have referred to it as a nationwide “tapioca boom.” You know it has spilled over into the mainstream when YouTubers and J-pop idols try to cash in on the trend. Although bubble tea comes in all kinds of flavors, customers tend to go for sweet options, with milk tea versions the most preferred. Sweetened versions have become so omnipresent that publications such as Joshi Spa have reported on how unhealthy the drink can be for you. - [4] – The Koiwa neighborhood seems to be a hot spot for memorable bubble tea drinks, housing places such as Toki Seven Tea, Golden Ratio and the chain Chatime. A recent arrival comes in the form of Takusha no Cha, located near Shin-Koiwa Station. This one has caught on with the Instagram crowd thanks to fruit-heavy takes on bubble tea that load up on slices of strawberry and whipped cream alongside the soft tapioca pearls. These creations are definitely not for those trying to cut calories, but they rise above usual social media bait thanks to the actually enjoyable fruity flavors. In the Tokyo bubble tea landscape, Gong Cha reigns supreme. If you see high-school-aged kids drinking out of big red straws, odds are they visited one of the 15 outposts spread throughout the capital. - [5] - Gong Cha consistently gets high marks from magazines and websites focused on trends, and the praise tends to be deserved.
Which of the following statements best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in paragraph 5?
  • A Gong Cha has a lot of faraway branch stores in Tokyo so high-school-aged children in Tokyo are likely to drink Gong Cha’s bubble tea.
  • B Gong Cha is likely to have a lot of faraway branch stores in Kyoto because high-school-aged children there would like to drink its bubble tea.
  • C High-school-aged children would like to drink Gong Cha’s bubble tea because only Gong Cha has a lot of branch stores in a distant part of Tokyo.
  • D High-school-aged children in a distant part of Tokyo would like to drink Gong Cha’s bubble tea because they are likely to drink out of big red straws.
  • E Gong Cha has a lot of branch stores in a distant part of Kyoto because high-school-aged children would like to drink out of big red straws.

思路引導 VIP

請試著分析一下:當作者提到某品牌的 15 家分店「散布在整個首都(spread throughout the capital)」時,這對於居住在該城市不同區域的居民(例如高中生)來說,在接觸該品牌產品的「機率」或「便利性」上意味著什麼?

恭喜你精準地掌握了文章句子的核心邏輯!這題考查的是對長難句的「換句話說」(Paraphrase)能力。你成功識別出原句中的 "15 outposts spread throughout the capital" 指的是分布在東京(日本首都)各處的分店。你能敏銳地連結 "odds are"(很有可能)與選項中的 "likely",顯示出你對於英文語境與邏輯推論的理解非常到位。

邏輯層次與細節辨析

這道題目具備極佳的鑑別度,其難度切入點在於考驗學生是否能排除錯誤的「地點」與「因果關係」。選項 B 和 E 錯誤地將地點改為京都(Kyoto),而選項 D 則是倒置了因果邏輯(不是因為喝紅吸管才去買,而是買了才有紅吸管)。在處理這類資訊重組題時,必須像你一樣,不僅看關鍵字,更要理清句子間的空間與因果連結。你能在這些細微陷阱中保持冷靜並做出正確判斷,表現得非常優秀!
