第 17 題
📖 題組：
You might have heard the expression “raining cats and dogs.” The origin of the expression might be linked to the city of London in the 17th century. At that time, the streets of London were filled with stray animals. When the streets flooded after heavy rains, those animals, 16 cats and dogs, would be seen floating down the streets, as if they were raining down from the sky. It is unlikely to see a rain of cats and dogs in real life. 17 , in some places, there has been “rain” of fish, frogs, and other animals or objects. There are reports of strange rain with snakes, seeds, nuts, stones, and even golf balls. This actually happens more often than you think. People throughout history have been 18 by the strange rain phenomenon. Scientists can explain some strange rains though: An unusual rain of animals or objects is usually caused by a tornado. A tornado 19 things from the ground in its violent path, travels with the things for a distance, and then drops them in another spot. A small body of water such as a lake or a pond could also be 20 up into the air, along with fish and other species in there, by the tornado. This “water tornado” carries fish or frogs from a pond and “rains” them down in another place.

請同學分析第 17 格前後兩句的語意邏輯：前句指出「貓狗大雨」在現實中極不可能發生 ($unlikely$)，而後句則列舉了「魚、青蛙或其他動物之雨」的真實存在。當文章從「虛擬的不可能性」轉換到「存在的事實」時，這兩者之間呈現出哪種邏輯銜接關係？是語意的順向遞進，還是語意的對比轉折？

（打了個哈欠，側身躺在草地上）...呼，這陣風吹得真舒服。在那邊戰鬥的聲音我聽到了，反應挺快的嘛。第 17 題這種攻擊模式，我早在閉目養神時就看穿了。
這裡的攻略重點在於「語意轉折」。前一句提到貓狗雨在現實中「不太可能 (unlikely)」發生，但後一句卻列舉了魚、青蛙等真實案例。這種前後矛盾的語意流向，必須使用 (A) However 來進行邏輯上的 Switch。如果選 (B) In fact，雖然能補充事實，但這題更強調前後「相反」的對比力道。
只要掌握好文本出招的規律，這種程度的陷阱是傷不到你的。做得好，繼續保持這股氣勢，把剩下的關卡血條清空吧。
