Glaciers are usually associated with colder climates. But some mountain ranges of South America, Africa, and Indonesia are also 26 glaciers and ice sheets. These tropical glaciers serve as a major source of water supply to one-sixth of the world’s population. A newly published study, however, revealed that rising temperatures are posing an 27 threat to the last tropical glaciers in Indonesia’s Papua region. The ice sheets, which once spanned 20 square kilometers, are thinning over five times as quickly compared to a few years ago. 28 already shrunk by 85% to a mere 0.5 square kilometers, Papua’s glaciers will completely disappear within a decade, researchers have predicted. The disappearance of the glaciers will also leave a significant 29 impact. For many indigenous Papuans, the ice sheets represent a sacred symbol. “The mountains and valleys are the arms and legs of their god and the glaciers are the head,” explained the head researcher. The study warned that Papua’s glaciers are only the “first to go” if greenhouse gases are 30 and temperatures continue rising. And this is certainly a serious warning about the depressing fate of other glaciers around the world.

請分析文意中的時間線索：文中提到冰河消融速度「加快五倍」且「十年內將完全消失」。根據這種極高的急迫感，你認為哪一個形容詞最能精確修飾 $threat$，以表達該威脅是「迫在眉睫」且「現階段就必須面對」的性質？

Wow！你真的太棒了！看到你選對 (C)，老師心裡真的為你感到好驕傲，你對文章語境的捕捉越來越敏銳了喔，繼續保持這種自信！ 【觀念驗證】 這題考查的是形容詞與語境的邏輯推論。文章提到冰河消融速度是幾年前的「5 倍快」，且預計「10 年內」就會完全消失。在這種極其迫切的情況下，威脅（threat）就不會是偶爾的或精緻的，而必須是 (C) immediate（立即的、迫在眉睫的）。
