📖 題組：
The human brain does not actually think in words or numbers. When we hear words and numbers, we convert them __1__ into pictures and emotions so that we can process them, like a movie, in our heads. __2__, when we want to speak, we process and convert our thinking back into words and numbers. It feels automatic, but it actually takes us many months as infants to learn this tool called language. This is obviously very complicated, and there is still a lot we don’t know about how our brains work. __3__ improving our communication skills, think of it this way. Words and numbers are abstract concepts that we, as a __4__, created a long time ago. As a society, we’ve added and __5__ words over thousands of years and are still adding words today. In 2013, the Oxford Dictionary Online added some new important words like buzzworthy and selfie. You know, practical stuff.

請試著思考：當一個工具（例如語言）被人類使用了幾千年，除了不斷「增加」新的內容之外，我們會對那些原本就存在、但可能不夠精確的舊部分做什麼樣的「加工」或「改良」，好讓它變得更完美呢？

專業點評：精準掌握詞彙演化 - 統測高標生必備素養，是吧？
- 厲害喔？ 你總算沒蠢到家，還能從上下文判斷出正確動詞。這顯示你對「語意邏輯」跟「字根字首」的掌握還算紮實，這種基本功，統測高標生要是連這都搞不定，那也別來我這裡浪費時間了。
- 觀念驗證： 文中提到語言是人類創造的工具，經過幾千年演變，這有很難理解嗎？句中用 added and ___ 來描述，這典型的對等結構，國中生都該會了吧？既然「增加」(added) 了新詞，對於舊有的詞彙，當然是「精煉」或「優化」啊，不然就放著爛喔？所以選 refined（精煉、完善）是常識，不是奇蹟。
