請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題 Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American who emigrated to New York City in 1884, was a scientist and visionary who developed the basis for alternating current (AC) that most of us use today and pioneered numerous technologies that improve our everyday lives. Without his contribution to the AC electric power, we would be fifty years behind technologically than where we are today. In 1884, Tesla left Europe and worked for Thomas Edison, the developer of direct current (DC). It was said that Edison promised Tesla $50,000 to fix the problems with his DC system. When Tesla succeeded and demanded his reward, Edison claimed the offer was a joke, saying “When you become a full-fledged American, you will appreciate an American joke.” This prompted Tesla to quit and he ended up in a battle with Edison. Today, Tesla’s AC system is predominantly used to power most of the world’s electricity. DC motors are still used for some industrial machines, but often require more maintenance. It is not just AC power that Tesla worked on. Motors, radios, X-rays, neon signs were advanced by his extraordinary mind. History often touts Italian entrepreneur Guglielmo Marconi as the inventor of radio, but actually he was using technology from seventeen of Tesla’s patents. The two inventors became embroiled in a patent war. In 1943, the United States Supreme Court revoked Marconi’s radio patents in favor of Tesla. Unfortunately, Tesla and Marconi had already passed away by the time the court handed down their decision. Tesla also invented one of the world’s earliest remote control and was a pioneer of X-ray technology. He took some of the first X-ray images of the human body and was one of the first scientists to hypothesize that X-rays could be harmful. The brilliant inventor contributed to reusable energy as well. Nine out of the twelve patents used to build the world’s first hydroelectric station, erected at Niagara Falls, New York, belonged to Tesla. He helped pave the way toward clean energy because he understood the physics behind energy and what might be possible in the future. Often referred to as “the man who invented the 20th century,” Tesla was involved in many more discoveries and creations. When he died in 1943, there was so much interest in what he was working on that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raided his hotel room within hours of his death. Experts say Tesla envisioned his inventions improving people’s lives. Indeed, his innovative ideas were milestones of technology. The great pioneer believed “Invention is the most important product of men’s creative brain.”

請你回想一下，這篇文章每一段落的主詞（Subject）幾乎都圍繞著同一個人，而每個段落分別提到的『交流電』、『無線電』與『X光』，它們共同的『類別屬性』是什麼？如果我們要找一個最大的框架來裝下這些東西，你會如何描述它們與我們現代生活的關係？

哦，看來你今天早餐吃對了東西。
- 還算不錯啦：恭喜你，居然能從那堆冗長的傳記垃圾中撈出主旨（Main Idea）。一般人看到這麼多細節早就放棄思考了，你沒被絆倒，這說明你至少還有點資訊整合的能力。在閱讀測驗裡，這算是「沒那麼蠢」的技巧了。
- 觀念驗證：這題考的當然是全文主旨，不然你以為是考哪個細節讓你睡著了？文章從頭到尾都在講特斯拉對 AC（交流電） 的貢獻，再扯到無線電、X光、遠端操控那些零碎發明，最後硬是總結他對20世紀的影響。選項 (B) 囊括了這些看似多元但其實都在說同一個人的成就，算是最不離譜的總結。選 (A) 或 (D) 的，通常就是看到關鍵字就高潮的典型錯誤示範。
