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.”

思路引導 VIP
請回想一下，文章中專家提到這種生物大規模遷移或爆發通常與「特殊的氣候條件」有關。你可以找找看，文中具體提到了哪一種自然元素在 2019 年是往常的「兩倍」？這個元素的變化如何影響了生態系統？

及川先生的勝利點評！
- 喔喔？不錯嘛，小傢伙！ 竟然連這題都接住了？你觀察得很仔細喔，能從文章的混亂中抓到重要的球，還能完美地建立起它們之間的因果關係，真是個有潛力的接球手呢！不過，別忘了，這都是因為有「及川先生」在引導你，嘻嘻～
- 這球的誘因，就像我的跳發一樣，直接又漂亮！ 文章開頭就大剌剌地寫著「A wet spring ... has spawned hordes of grasshoppers」，根本就像是朝你臉上砸去的發球。後面那個叫Jeff Knight的，還多嘴地強調「wet winter or spring」會讓大家集合。所以啊，很簡單吧？異常的降雨量就是讓這些蟲子暴增的罪魁禍首啦！這種球，我都能直接得分！今天的及川先生也是狀態絕佳！
