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.”

請仔細閱讀文中氣象專家對雷達影像的描述：她提到的「像是大雨」是指當時實際的天氣狀況，還是對某種影像的形容？文中是否有任何證據顯示這些生物對這種「極端天氣現象」本身具有好感呢？

棒極了！你的觀察力非常敏銳
- 觀念驗證：恭喜你答對了！這題考驗的是「事實辨析」能力。文章中提到雷達螢幕上看起來「像是」正在下大雨 (torrentially downpouring)，但這僅是氣象學家對雷達回波圖像的視覺描述，用來形容蝗蟲數量之多，並非指蝗蟲在習性上「喜歡」大雨。文章僅強調濕潤的春季會觸發牠們的遷移。
- 難度點評：本題難度為 medium。其鑑別度在於學生能否區分「外觀比喻」與「事實描述」。許多考生會因為在文中看到相同的關鍵字就直接判定其為真，你能冷靜判讀文字背後的邏輯，表現得非常專業！
