Do you know that factories in Taiwan have to pay a new tax? According to the new law, factories have to pay the new tax if they __11__ PM2.5 pollution. Collecting tax is part of an effort made by the Taiwanese government to improve the air quality. Because PM2.5 particles are very small, we are not able to see them with naked eyes. They are so tiny that they can get deep into our lungs. Moreover, they are very light, so they stay in the air for a long time. PM2.5 comes from different sources, including factories, vehicles, airplanes, dust storms, etc. Taiwan’s Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) did not __12__ this new law until people complained that no larger facilities are taxed. Although the EPA has been collecting air pollution taxes since 1995, the EPA has only taxed vehicles, rather than factories. About 8000 factories have not been __13__ by the new law until 2018. In daily life, we may not be aware of the harm brought by PM2.5. Here are a couple of facts about PM2.5 to keep in mind. First, the EPA indicates that particles narrower than 10 micrometers are the most __14__ because they can get deep into our lungs, and some may even get into our bloodstream. Second, two types of people with heart or lung disease, __15__, are considered at a greater risk from PM2.5 pollution than other people, especially when they engage in outdoor activities.

請觀察空格後方的敘述：「微粒會深入肺部，甚至進入血液」。根據你的常識與文章主旨，這種現象對人體健康是『有益的』還是『具威脅性的』？在描述污染對健康的影響時，你會選擇哪種性質的形容詞來描述這些微粒？

專業點評
- 做得不錯啊，至少不是亂猜。這題考的就是基本邏輯判斷，能看出 $PM_{2.5}$ 進肺、進血管代表什麼？難道是祝你身體健康嗎？哼，這就是統測「語感」的要求，看來你還沒完全糊塗。
- 什麼叫觀念驗證？就是不要當文盲！「深入肺部」、「進入血液」這種描述，除了危害，還能是什麼？難道是給你補充營養？所以答案就是 (D) hazardous，「危險的、有害的」，跟常識結合一下，很難嗎？這不是考你什麼高深學問，是考你生活常識。
