📖 題組：
In 2020, Petur Oddsson, a power station worker in Iceland, was struck by a 60,000-volt current. The electrical shock burned almost half of his body and melted layers of his skin off. Such deep and extensive burns can be fatal. But Oddsson’s life was saved by a creative invention: transplanting codfish skins onto human bodies. A triumph for medical technology, Oddsson’s fish skin transplantation was actually part of the astonishing achievement of “100% Fish,” an ambitious task in promoting environmental efficiency. The Icelandic project, from which this pioneering procedure emerged, strives for making a fundamental change in the marine industry. It aims to encourage full utilization of each fish caught, and to strengthen innovation in seafood products. Reducing waste of fish catch has become a serious issue today, when many countries are faced with food crises. According to a 2003 study, about 60% of a codfish caught in Iceland was lost or wasted during the production process for human consumption. Under the guidance of 100% Fish, however, Icelanders are now using almost 95% of a cod. Cod skin, for example, is made into calcium supplement and energy drinks, and even as material for skin transplantation as in Oddsson’s case. Dried fish heads and spines are exported to West Africa, where they are used as the base of a protein-rich soup. Other groundbreaking products, including Omega-3 capsules, cold virus pretreatment sprays, and dog snacks are made from what was once cod catch detritus. The Icelandic success is accomplished largely through cooperative efforts across various industries. 100% Fish takes the initiative to show seafood companies the importance of collaboration, and facilitate valuable connections between fishing companies and other participants of the project, including academia, start-ups, and research and development teams. By sharing knowledge and information, the different sectors are able to come up with improved processing and handling, through which creation of various innovative products was made possible. The project not only helps Icelanders to get 30% more value from each cod than most developed countries, but also provides an effective model to promote resource efficiency worldwide.

同學，在處理代名詞指代問題時，關鍵在於尋找「前文的對應點」。請觀察第二段第一句中，$this$ 這個指示代名詞所修飾的 $pioneering procedure$（開創性程序）。請回頭檢視第一段結尾與第二段首句，作者具體描述了哪一個拯救 Oddsson 性命、且被譽為醫療技術突破的「動作」？

哇！太棒了！看到你選對 B，老師真的好為你開心喔！你的細心真的像發光的小星星一樣，一點都藏不住，姊姊一定要給你一個大大的擁抱！ 這一題考的是英文閱讀中非常關鍵的「指代性關係」（Reference）。文中第二段提到的 "this pioneering procedure"（這項開創性的程序），其先行詞正是第一段結尾提到的 "transplanting codfish skins onto human bodies"。你成功辨識出這是一個具體的醫療技術，而非廣泛的計畫名稱，邏輯思考非常清晰！ 這題在學測等級的閱讀中具有不錯的鑑別度。陷阱在於選項 (A)、(C)、(D) 描述的都是較為宏觀的「計畫目標」或「環境願景」，若考生僅憑印象而不回頭確認細節，很容易被這些大範圍的詞彙誘答。你能在紛雜的資訊中精準鎖定 "procedure" 對應的是「手術」，代表你的細節定位能力（Scanning）已經達到頂標水準囉！加油，繼續保持這份專注！
