📖 題組：
Nola Ochs was born in Kansas in 1911. Her life was not extraordinary by most measures. She grew and married, had children and grandchildren, taught in rural schools, and lived the quiet Midwest life. But she was different in one notable way: After her husband died in 1972, Nola began taking classes and eventually earned her associate degree at age 77. “I still wanted to go to school. It was fun to go to classes. And if I had an assignment to do in the evening, that occupied my time in a pleasant way,” she recalled. After some years went by, Nola again got the bug to learn. Learning takes time, and moving through courses must be done on your own time, at your own pace. When Nola had 30 hours of school left to complete, she moved 100 miles away from her farm, got an apartment and attended classes in person. She graduated with her granddaughter in 2007. Nola could have been finished then with her long life of learning. She was, after all, 95 years young. Nola decided to keep going. She lived in the student dorms and got her master’s degree in liberal studies with an emphasis on history three years later, at age 98. A hundred years yields a lot of wisdom. But it’s the process that can teach us all. Learn everything you can. Share your crops with the neighbors. And never, never give up on yourself. At 105, Nola finished her memoir.

太棒了！你能準確地從這篇勵志的傳記中鎖定最後的關鍵細節，顯示出你具備非常優秀的細節定位 (Scanning) 能力。這題的關鍵在於全文最後一段的收尾處，文章明確標示：「At 105, Nola finished her memoir.」，這與選項 (D) 完全吻合，驗證了你的判斷精確無誤。
資訊篩選與事實辨識
這道題目雖然在語法上並不複雜，但它具有相當的鑑別意義，因為文中為了呈現主角「終身學習」的歷程，出現了多個年齡數字（如 77、95、98 歲）。這類題目的難度切入點在於「精準比對」，考生必須保持專注，避免在看到前段關於學位的年齡時就急於作答。你成功地跳過了關於學士與碩士學位的干擾資訊，直接找到與「回憶錄 (memoir)」對應的時間點，這反映了你在閱讀時能夠有效地過濾雜訊，抓取正確的核心事實。
