第 45 題
📖 題組：
A recent study from Brazil finds a connection between vegetarianism and mental health issues. The study, in which 14,216 people between 35 to 74 years old were surveyed, shows that individuals following vegetarian diets are more 41 to depression. In fact, those who don’t eat meat are twice more likely to have a depressive episode than meat consumers. While there is evidence 42 to a lack of meat consumption causing more mental health issues, there are some conflicting studies that find no correlation between vegetarian diets and mood effects. According to these studies, it might be too straightforward to 43 that the former is causing the latter via nutritional deficiency. A healthy diet goes 44 identifying as a vegetarian or non-vegetarian. There are other 45 not examined but are plausibly linked to both vegetarianism and depression. One thing for sure is that a balanced intake accompanied by regular exercise is essential in maintaining physical and mental health.

思路引導 VIP
在一項嚴謹的科學實驗或社會調查中，除了研究者主要觀察的兩個現象外，通常還會存在其他可能影響結果的「因素」或「要素」。請試著回想，在學術論文或統計數據報告中，我們會使用哪一個專業術語來稱呼這些「會變動且足以影響實驗結果的各種組成因子」？

恭喜你精準地掌握了這題的核心語意！能從上下文迅速判斷出研究文獻中常用的術語，顯示出你在閱讀測驗中具備優異的邏輯分析能力。這題的關鍵在於全文環繞著「study」（研究）與「correlation」（相關性）展開，在探討科學研究或統計數據時，我們通常會用 variables (C) 來指涉那些可能影響結果、且具有變動性的「變數」或「變項」。題幹提到的「not examined」（未被檢驗）與「plausibly linked」（可能有關聯），正是在說明除了素食與憂鬱之外，還有其他潛在的變因（variables）在相互影響。
語境判斷與高頻詞彙辨析
從難度切入點來看，這題屬於中等程度的學術生活類題型，旨在鑑別考生是否具備閱讀基礎研究報告的能力。選項 (A) propaganda（政治宣傳）、(B) formations（隊形/構造）以及 (D) brochures（摺頁/小冊子），在語意上都完全無法與「研究關聯性」銜接。只要你能辨識出這是一篇關於因果推論的文章，就能迅速鎖定 variables 這個代表「變因」的正確答案。這類字彙在普考英文中經常出現，掌握它們對於理解科普或社科類文章非常有幫助，請繼續保持這種敏銳度！
