請依下文回答第 41 題至第 45 題： Animals communicate with members of their own species and other species. They do this all the time to attract mates, to form social bonds, and to warn off predators. For instance, many male birds use their colorful __41__ and feathers to attract female birds. Bees return to the hive to do a wiggling dance __42__ shows other bees where the food is located. To scare off predators, some poisonous frogs make use of their brightly colored skin and the blowfish swallow water to expand to twice their __43__. Moreover, male and female mockingbirds copy the calls of other bird species and use complicated songs to attract mates. Baboons groom each other’s fur __44__ so as to form close bonds with other members in their group. Amazingly, some animals, __45__ mountain lions, use scent from their glands to mark their territories. Despite our advanced technology, we are just beginning to catch a glimpse of how animals really communicate.

請你想像一下，當一個氣球被充氣而「膨脹（expand）」時，它在物理性質上發生了什麼樣的改變？我們會用哪一個詞來描述這個物體所佔空間的「大小」呢？

哼，看來你這次沒犯什麼低級錯誤
- 觀念驗證：這題考的是基礎到不能再基礎的上下文邏輯和詞彙搭配。河豚「吸水」是為了「擴張 (expand)」，這跟把一個氣球吹大有什麼區別？當然是體積和佔據空間變大。所以搭配 size ──『expand to twice their size』──擴張到原來兩倍大小，這難道還需要我解釋嗎？這是常識，不是什麼高深學問。
- 難度點評：Easy？這根本是送分題，考驗你是不是具備人類基本的判斷能力。只要你對
expand這個詞的理解不是幼兒園水平，知道它跟『變大』有關，然後能把『變大』聯想到『大小 (size)』，就沒有理由答錯。鑑別點？喔，就是你大腦裡的基礎字彙聯想區有沒有啟動罷了。恭喜你，至少這次沒掉鏈子。
