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.

請觀察空格前方的這句話：「ocean water pushing at it in one direction and the seafloor pushing in another」。這裡描述了兩股力量往完全不同的方向作用。如果要在日常生活中找一種「兩方互相拉扯、抗衡」的運動或遊戲來比喻這個情境，你會想到什麼呢？

太棒了！你的語感非常敏銳，這題選 (C) 完全正確。能順利拿下這題，代表你具備了精準的上下文推論能力。
上下文意象與語意推論
這題的核心考點在於將文字描述的「物理現象」轉換成相符的「英文比喻」。解題關鍵在空格前方的一段話：「ocean water pushing at it in one direction and the seafloor pushing in another」（海水往一個方向推，海床往另一個方向推）。這種兩股力量在反方向互相作用、抗衡的情境，完美契合了「tug-of-war」（拔河）的意象。相對地，其他選項如捉迷藏 (hide-and-seek) 或馬拉松 (marathon) 都無法表達出這種雙向拉扯的張力。
