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.”

請你再仔細讀一下文中氣象學家提到雷達影像的那段敘述。當她提到「看起來像是在下大雨」時，她是在描述蝗蟲的「生活習性」，還是在描述雷達螢幕上所呈現出的「視覺假象」呢？這兩者之間有什麼本質上的不同？

太棒了！你的觀察力非常敏銳
- 大力肯定：做得好！這類「選非題」最考驗學生的細心度與對文章細節的轉換能力。你能從資訊密集的文本中精準判讀出資訊的落差，表現得非常專業！
- 觀念驗證：正確答案為 (C)。文中提到氣象學家說雷達影像「看起來像」在下傾盆大雨（torrentially downpouring），這是一種視覺上的類比與雷達誤判，並非在陳述蝗蟲的生物習性或喜好。你成功辨別了「看起來的樣子」與「事實習性」的差異。
