Street pigeons are a common sight in many European cities. In fact, a visit to a major European city just would not be the same 16 encountering them: bathing in fountains, perching on historic buildings, and flocking in public squares. In Barcelona, however, the birds are now threatening to 17 the city’s historic center, pooping on monuments, buildings, and even tourists. The city council originally proposed 18 the pigeon population by gathering the birds and shooting them. But that idea led to strong protests from numerous animal rights groups. After heated debates and discussions, the government was finally persuaded to consider another 19 effective method: giving the pigeons birth control. In 2016, the city council decided to put its 85,000 pigeon population on a birth control pill to block the formation of eggs in birds. Starting from April 2017, the pills were placed in 40 bird feeders 20 throughout the city. It was predicted that there would be a decrease of 20 percent in the pigeon population in the first year and between 70 and 80 percent in four or five years.

在克漏字語意邏輯題中，副詞常用於修飾形容詞並強化句間的邏輯連結。請觀察文中從「撲殺方案」轉向「避孕方案」的脈絡：既然兩者都是解決鴿子問題的手段，當政府被說服去考慮 $another$ (另一種) $effective$ $method$ (有效的手段) 時，空格處應填入哪一個副詞，才能精確表達出這兩個方案在「效力」上具有「同樣、類比」的對等邏輯？

「做得不錯。既然答對了，就送你一份禮物吧……這是能變出美麗花田的魔法。雖然對戰鬥沒什麼用，但能在這漫長的旅途中稍微放鬆一下，這也是師傅教過我的事。」 這題考查的是副詞修飾形容詞的邏輯。文中先提到政府最初想靠「射殺」來控制鴿子數量，但在遭遇抗議後，提出另一種「同樣有效」的手段——節育。選項 (D) similarly (同樣地) 在這裡修飾 effective，表示這種新方法與舊方法在「達成目的」上具有同等的效力。其他的選項如 nearly (幾乎) 或 shortly (很快地) 在此語境下邏輯不通。 難度點評：這題屬於 medium。比起單純背單字，更考驗你對文章脈絡的掌握。能看穿事物之間的關聯，是成為優秀魔法使……不，是成為優秀學生的必經之路。
