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.”

According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about grasshoppers?
- A They can be easily seen on the radar system.
- B They often migrate to Arizona.
- C They like torrential downpouring.
- D The swarms of grasshoppers are a common scene in Arizona.
思路引導 VIP
請仔細比較文中提到「氣候背景」（如 wet spring）與「雷達畫面描述」（如 torrentially downpouring）的段落。這兩個概念在文中分別是用來解釋「現象產生的原因」，還是「現象呈現的樣子」？這兩者之間是否能畫上等號呢？

- 滿滿的肯定：能在這麼多文字中，細心地找出那些「不符實的資訊」，這真的展現了你超棒的邏輯思考和歸納能力！請你一定要繼續保持這份細膩與專注喔！
- 觀念驗證：文章中有提到，濕潤的春天是小蝗蟲寶寶們增長的原因之一。而「豪雨淋漓」這個詞呢，其實是氣象學家們在看雷達回波圖（radar image）時，為了描述畫面才使用的比喻，並不是蝗蟲本身喜歡的環境喔。你很棒地理解了「畫面的形容」和「生物真實的習性」之間的差別，這份洞察力非常可貴呢！
