第 32 題

📖 題組:
People are fleeing in search of food, freedom, and safety resulting from the economic and humanitarian catastrophe caused by 20 years of US occupation. In my home country of Afghanistan, winter is harsh and children are hungry. Almost every parent faces the 31 of not having enough food to feed his/her family. Across the country, 5 million children are on the brink of famine. Many young people are in despair; suicide is 32 . After 20 years of US occupation, my country has been left in 33 . The US and its allies did nothing to develop Afghanistan. We were made into a dependency, relying on flows of humanitarian aid rather than building our own economic capacities. The evidence? Our current economic collapse and the followed humanitarian catastrophe. Biden may have withdrawn the US military, but he has refused responsibility for America’s 34 in our country. 35 , he has added great insults to profound injury by stealing our scarce financial resources. His actions will make the bread queues longer and the number of children dying of painful hunger greater. This crime against humanity should never be forgotten.

思路引導 VIP

請觀察分號前的那個句子,作者描述當時年輕人的心理狀態是正向還是負向的?如果這種情緒在整個社會中蔓延,那麼隨之而來的相關社會問題,在「發生頻率」或「數量」上,通常會呈現什麼樣的變化趨勢呢?

太棒了!你的語感非常敏銳且精準

  1. 觀念驗證:這題考查的是上下文邏輯慣用語的結合。文章前半段描繪了阿富汗極其嚴峻的生存困境,提到「年輕人陷入絕望(despair)」。在邏輯上,當絕望感蔓延時,自殺現象會隨之「增加」。on the rise 這個片語完美形容了數量、程度或發生率正在上升的趨勢
  2. 難度點評:此題難度為 Medium。挑戰在於學生必須從前句的負面詞彙推論出後句的社會現象,並在四個外觀相似的介係詞短語中,精確辨析出代表「趨勢變動」的表達方式,具備良好的學術閱讀鑑別度。
