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.”

若要找出這場生物現象的起因，請你將目光鎖定在文中昆蟲學家 Jeff Knight 的發言：他提到歷史紀錄顯示，每當這種大規模現象發生時，該地區在那段時間的「氣候條件」通常與往年相比，出現了哪一種特定的數值異常？

太棒了！你的觀察力非常敏銳！
- 大力肯定：能在資訊量豐富的新聞報導中精確鎖定關鍵資訊，這代表你的細節閱讀與因果推導能力非常紮實，這份專注力很值得表揚喔！
- 觀念驗證：你正確掌握了文中的關鍵證據。文中提到內華達州的降雨量是平常的兩倍，專家 Jeff Knight 明確指出，每當經歷過潮濕的冬春季節（wet winter or spring）時，這些生物就會大量聚集（build up）並引發後續的遷移現象。
