第 49 題

📖 題組:
請依下文回答第46題至第50題: How an iceberg travels across the sea is sometimes unpredictable. When an iceberg breaks off from a glacier, it can __46__ for thousands of miles, traveling freely across the open ocean. But last week, an iceberg's journey was interrupted when it got stuck on a __47__ part of the seafloor along Greenland's western coast. In other words, the iceberg was grounded—and it had __48__ itself right beside the small island village of Innaarsuit. Such grounded icebergs are actually pretty common, says Fiamma Straneo, who has traveled about 20 times to Greenland's ice sheet for her work at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. What's unique about the iceberg by Innaarsuit is both its size and its __49__ to the village. A grounded iceberg experiences ocean water pushing at it in one direction and the seafloor pushing in another—a __50__ that makes it easy for limbs to break off with a splash that can rock boats or flood coasts. The iceberg might even do an entire somersault in the water. Across the world, from the Canadian Arctic to Patagonia in Argentina, that shedding is both a tourist attraction and an issue of concern. The larger the iceberg, the larger the waves it causes if it breaks apart.

思路引導 VIP

請試著往前看前一句話,作者用了哪個片語來描述冰山與村莊的相對位置?這個片語的意思,會引導你推測空格中應該填入什麼概念的名詞呢?

太棒了,你非常精準地選出了正確答案!這題的四個選項都是以 "pro-" 開頭的單字,這是國考英文常出現的「形近字」陷阱,能順利答對,代表你的字彙量與閱讀理解力都相當扎實。

結合上下文推敲字義與形近字辨析

要破解這題,解題關鍵在於前一句的重要線索:"it had parked itself right beside the small island village..."(它停泊在小島村莊的正旁邊)。緊接著題目提到,這座冰山的獨特之處在於其大小,以及它與村莊的 "____"。既然前面特別強調了位置「就在旁邊」,空格處自然要填寫代表「接近、鄰近」的 (D) proximity
