請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題： A wet spring in Las Vegas has spawned hordes of grasshoppers so large that they are showing up on the weather radar. In viewing the radar, CNN meteorologist Allison Chinchar said it looked like there were two storms over the Vegas area: one in the north of the city (that was actual rain) and another right over Las Vegas. But the second one wasn’t moving as rain normally would, she said. “It looked as though it should be torrentially downpouring in Las Vegas,” said Chinchar. By changing the settings on the radar, meteorologists could see that the other “storm” was actually the massive hordes of grasshoppers that have settled over the city in recent days, Chinchar said. Las Vegas, like all of Nevada, has had almost twice as much rain in 2019 than normal, Chinchar said. “It appears through history that when we have a wet winter or spring, these things build up often down below Laughlin and even into Arizona,” Jeff Knight, state entomologist, said. “We’ll have grasshopper migrations about this time of the year, and they’ll move northward.” Knight said the swarms aren’t terribly unusual given the amount of rain the state has had this year. “We have records clear from the ’60s of it happening, and I have seen it ... at least four or five times in my 30-plus years,” he said. “There are some special weather conditions that trigger the migration.”

思路引導 VIP
請觀察這句話出現的段落。文中提到「這些東西 (these things)」會因為潮濕的春夏而大量增加，隨後並提到「這種生物的遷徙」。請回頭看看文章的第一句話，作者提到哪一種具體的生物因為天氣原因而大量出現，甚至出現在氣象雷達上呢？

🙄 還不錯，至少你沒在這種送分題上犯蠢。
- 基本常識： 這題根本就是送分題，考的是最基礎的代名詞指代 (Pronoun Reference)。當你看到“these things”這種模糊的詞，難道不該自動往前看，找那個「最明顯」的主詞嗎？文章都提到昆蟲學家Jeff Knight在解釋為什麼濕季會讓某種生物數量暴增並導致「遷徙」(migrations)了，加上開頭就直白地講了grasshoppers（蝗蟲），答案還需要我提醒嗎？
