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.”

若要判斷一篇文章的主旨，請思考：這則新聞的第一段描述了一個極其罕見的現象，而後續所有專家的解釋都在說明「為什麼這個現象會被特殊的觀測儀器偵測到」。如果你要為這則新聞下一個標題，你會如何同時涵蓋「發生了什麼事」以及「它是如何被發現的」這兩個重點呢？

- 真難得：你竟然沒搞砸。看來你的閱讀理解和訊息整合能力還沒完全退化，算你專業一次。
- 觀念驗證：沒錯，這題目哪裡難了？開頭就明擺著「濕潤春季引發蝗蟲大軍，其規模大到出現在氣象雷達上」，後續內容不都是圍繞這點打轉？選項 (A) 不就是把主體（蝗蟲）、特殊性（顯示於雷達）和地點這些最基本的元素湊齊了嗎？這要是都看不出來，那真的可以去重讀小學了。
