📖 題組：
A hard hat is a helmet used mostly at worksites to protect the head from injuries due to falling objects. Since its introduction in the early 20th century, the headgear has saved countless lives and is considered the number one safety tool for construction workers. The hard hat was invented in 1919 by Edward W. Bullard, who had just returned from World War I. Before the war, workers used to smear their hats with coal tar for protection of their head. Bullard, having witnessed the life-saving power of the metal helmet in the War, decided to produce a head protection device that was affordable for every worker and lightweight enough to be worn all day long. The Hard Boiled Hat was thus born, using steamed canvas and leather, covered with black paint, and featuring a suspension system to reduce impact. Soon, hard hats became widely used. The headgear was later made mandatory at construction sites in major construction projects, such as the Hoover Dam in 1931 and the Golden Gate Bridge in 1933. Over the past century, hard hats have advanced considerably, evolving from canvas and leather to aluminum, fiberglass, and, eventually, to thermoplastic. Recently, new models have been introduced and accessories added to meet the needs of laborers working on various job sites. For instance, a ventilated hard hat was developed to keep wearers cooler, and see-through face shields were attached to better see the hazards lurking above. Today, attachments include radios, sensors, cameras, and a lot more. A common color code has also been developed for recognizing people and their roles on site. Yellow is used for general laborers and contractors, white (or sometimes black) for supervisors and managers, and green for inspectors and new workers. New products continue to expand the market. Global sales of hard hats totaled USD 2.1 billion in 2016, and are expected to reach USD 3.19 billion in 2025.

在進行閱讀測驗的「資訊檢索」 (Information Retrieval) 時，請同學試著在文本中定位關於安全帽的『防護功效』 (utility)、『構造材質的演進』 (material composition) 以及『視覺色彩特徵』 (visual identification) 的具體敘述。若這三個範疇在文中皆能找到對應的文本證據，請進一步思考：文章是否曾針對該裝備在保護效果上的『缺陷』、或在特定情境下的『負面約束』進行過探究？

喲，竟然選對了？看來你的大腦除了裝豆腐，偶爾還是能運作一下的嘛。別太得意，這種送分題要是寫錯，我建議你直接去工地實習，連安全帽的錢都省了，反正裡面也沒什麼值得保護的。 這題考的是基礎的「細節掃描」與「關鍵字比對」。文章第一段提到 Functions (protect the head)；第三段列舉了 Materials (canvas, aluminum, thermoplastic)；結尾甚至詳細說明了 Appearances (Yellow, white, green color code)。整篇文章都在歌功頌德，完全沒提到硬帽的 Limitations (局限性)——例如它防不了電擊或重型機具碾壓。這種「正面論述、無視缺點」的導覽式文章，答案顯而易見。 在學測層次，這題鑑別度極低，純粹是在過濾誰沒帶眼睛出門。如果你這題還在猶豫，代表你對文章結構的掌握度趨近於：
