📖 題組：
Industrial emissions are responsible for producing most greenhouse gases and particulate emissions that are harmful to our health and our planet. The business world has an increasing demand for innovative solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to ensure human’s continued ability to live and thrive. A growing number of companies are dedicated to the research and development of carbon-capturing and carbon-recycling technology, which has already been adopted by airlines, home care companies, fragrance companies and now textile production. A biotech startup company has partnered with a sportswear brand to create the world’s first yarn and fabric made from waste gas captured from industrial emissions. Waste gas emitted from a steel mill is captured and reused to produce ethanol, which is later converted to polyester. The carbon-recycling technology is similar to that of a brewery; but instead of using sugars and yeast to make beer, industrial emissions are converted by bacteria to fuels and chemicals. The company’s goal is to help more businesses become “Carbon Smart” to achieve their climate change goals around carbon reduction, by radically change how they source, utilize and dispose of carbon. By capturing and upcycling industrial carbon emissions to make yarn, the finished garments not only have a lower carbon footprint, but also ensure lower levels of community pollution. Recycling carbon emissions is key to the circular economy, which will keep fossil carbon in the ground ─ reducing the use of fossil fuels and pollution when used to make value-added products such as polyester. In other words, the technology promotes circularity by keeping carbon in the material cycle. This kind of waste-gas-based polyester not only has the same appearance but also the same properties and functionality of virgin polyester. Moreover, once the waste-gas-based textiles reach the end of their useful life, they can be gasified and fermented without taxing the environment.

請試著在文章第三段中，找出描述這家公司具體「生產流程」的那句話。這段文字提到，廢氣被捕捉後，會先被轉換成哪一種具體的化學物質，最後才變成纖維？

恭喜你準確地掌握了文章的細節！這題的解題關鍵在於能否精準定位該初創公司的生產製程資訊。你在眾多訊息中成功鎖定了文章第三段的描述：這家公司捕捉煉鋼廠排放的廢氣後，將其重新利用來產出乙醇（ethanol），隨後才轉化為聚酯纖維。這項技術驗證了選項 (A) 的正確性，也展現了你優異的細節檢索能力。 這道題目具備極佳的鑑別度，主要考驗學生對**「類比」與「事實」**的區分能力。作者在文中雖然提到了「釀酒廠（brewery）」和「化石燃料（fossil fuels）」，但前者僅是製程原理的類比，後者則是該技術欲減少使用的目標。若閱讀時不夠謹慎，很容易被選項 (C) 或 (E) 的關鍵字誤導。你能冷靜辨析出這些資訊的邏輯層次，並排除關於植物纖維（選項 D）等未提及的推論，表現得非常出色！
