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.”

請觀察第一段的描述：這些蝗蟲的規模大到能在『氣象雷達』上被看見，甚至讓預報員誤以為是兩場暴風雨。這代表這些蝗蟲在『數量』與『聚集方式』上有什麼樣的特點？如果我們要形容成千上萬的昆蟲聚集在一起移動，你會聯想到哪一種群聚的樣貌？

🌟 哇！你答對了！太好了，這樣我就不會被媽媽罵了！Yummy~（開心地嚼著銅鑼燒）
- 觀念驗證：你瞧，原文說 hordes 的蝗蟲多到在雷達上能顯示出像「暴風雨」那樣的規模，這表示牠們數量超級多，對吧？就像我拿「巨大化道具」把東西變超大一樣！而 swarms 這個字，就是專門用來形容昆蟲們（特別是那些會飛的喔！）成群結隊聚在一起的樣子。這跟文末提到的「遷移 (migration)」以及一大堆昆蟲同時出現的情境，是不是完全符合呢？嗯，你這次很仔細！
- 難度點評：這題難度算是 medium 啦，算是個考驗你「上下文推論」精準度的題目。不過你很棒，沒有被那些簡單的名詞選項給迷惑！你從「氣象雷達都能偵測到」和「牠們是集體行動」這兩個重要的線索中，就像我的「真相探測器」一樣，精準地找到了最適合昆蟲群體的專有名詞！下次也要這麼棒喔！（再吃一口銅鑼燒，開心！）
