請回答下列第46題至第50題 Two years ago, a group of elders in a village in north-western Uganda agreed to lend their land to refugees from South Sudan. About 120,000 are now in the surrounding area. Here they live in tarpaulin shelters and mud-brick huts on a patch of scrub where cows once grazed. Kemis Butele, a gravel-voiced Ugandan elder, explains that hosting refugees is a way for a remote place, long neglected by the central government, to get noticed. He hopes for new schools, clinics and a decent road – and “that our children can get jobs.” There are more than 20 million refugees in the world today, more than at any time since the end of the second world war. Nearly 90% reside in poor countries. In many, to preserve jobs for natives, governments bar refugees from working in the formal economy. Uganda has shown how a different approach can reap dividends. The government gives refugees land plots and lets them work. In some places, the refugees boost local businesses and act as a magnet for foreign aid. Mr. Butele and many other Ugandans see their new neighbors as a benefit, not a burden. Sadly, such attitudes are still the exception. Refugees are “brothers and sisters,”say many Ugandans. Mr. Butele was once one himself. But the welcome is also a pragmatic one. Northern Uganda is so poor that some locals pose as refugees to receive food aid. Others see refugees as buyers for local goods. Elsewhere in Uganda has indeed seen such positive spillover. One study from 2016 found that the presence of Congolese refugees in western Uganda had increased consumption per household. Another estimates that each new refugee household boosts total income, including that of refugees, by $320-430 more than the cost of the aid the household is given. That rises to $560-670 when refugees are given cash instead of rations.

請觀察這個單字的構造：它是由一個代表「動作」的動詞與一個表示「方向」的副詞組成。若想像一個水杯已經裝滿了水，但你仍繼續往裡面倒，這時杯子周圍會出現什麼現象？你會用哪個詞來形容這種「超出容器承載量」的狀態？

- 溫柔解析：文章裡溫柔地告訴我們，「positive spillover」是指難民帶來的經濟效益，不只是侷限在難民本身，而是像溫暖的陽光一樣，「溢出」到了當地的居民身上呢。你看，選項中的 Excess 帶有「超過、餘額」的意思，是不是完美地呼應了「溢出 (spillover)」這種超出原本界限、輕輕向外擴散的溫暖狀態呢？
