📖 題組：
It’s noon. You’re starving, and you need some food now—right now. Back in the old days, if you ordered some delivery, that food might come from a driver or bicycle delivery person. But this is the age of the drone. Therefore, your takeaway might not come with a knock at the door, but with a drone hovering outside your window. Drone delivery hasn’t advanced to the point that it will fly up to your 14th floor office window, but in Shanghai’s Jinshan Industrial Park, drone delivery has already started. There, online retail giant Alibaba directs the service through its Ele.me food delivery brand. Drones fly along 17 specific routes. Customers can order from any one of 100 restaurants operating in the park. After the order is received and made, a member of the restaurant staff places the meal in the drone. It then flies to a delivery point nearest the customer. It is then picked up by an Alibaba employee and carried the rest of the way. All of this takes just 20 minutes. Ele.me says the drone delivery method greatly reduces operating costs. If it’s faster and cheaper, what’s not to love about flying food?

思路引導 VIP
請觀察文章的第一段，作者提到了「過去（old days）」與「現在」在取得食物的過程中，發生了什麼樣的「工具變化」？此外，文章中反覆出現的關鍵字 delivery 結合這些新工具，是為了完成哪一項任務呢？

太棒了！你的觀察力非常敏銳
- 觀念驗證：這篇文章的核心在於對比。作者先提到過去（old days）由人力或單車送餐，隨後引出「無人機 (drone)」這個現代科技。文章後半段具體描述了上海金山工業區如何實際應用這項技術來讓送餐更快速、更便宜。因此，整篇的主旨正是關於外送方式的革新，選擇 (B) 完全正確！
- 難度點評：本題難度為 Easy。這是一題典型的「主旨大意題」，考驗學生從段落中擷取關鍵字
delivery與drone的能力。只要不被干擾選項中的單個字眼（如 food）誤導，就能輕易辨識出核心主題。
