📖 題組：
Since ancient times, people have wondered why people in different parts of the world have different customs, rules, habits, beliefs, and psychological tendencies. Where do such cultural differences come from? There are many __16__ for why these differences exist. Among them, a growing body of work __17__ links between specific ecological features and specific cultural patterns, and suggests that ecology may be a key driver of human cultural diversity. Throughout history, humans have experienced different environments __18__ features like infectious disease threat, available natural resources, and climate. It is found that in different ecological conditions, some behaviors are more adaptive to the circumstances. These behaviors gradually form particular patterns of cultural responses shared by the people living in the environment. We can, then, expect that humans may __19__ different traits under different environmental conditions as a result of mechanisms that have evolved to be sensitive to environmental changes. On the other hand, two communities thousands of miles away from each other may share some practices because of similarity in their environments. The Sherpas in the Himalayas or the Swiss in the Alps, for example, have developed similar skills for living in high altitudes. Of course, ecology is not the only reason people around the world think and behave differently or similarly. But, __20__ , the evidence has shown that environments shape cultures.

請分析空格前句中 $not the only reason$ 所建立的邏輯基礎。當作者指出環境並非決定性的『唯一』因素，隨後以 $But$ 帶出轉折與強調時，是為了說明環境對文化形塑仍具備『一定程度』的影響。請從邏輯一致性的角度思考，哪一個選項能用來界定這種『並非全部、卻又客觀存在』的影響比例？

哇！太厲害了，你真的好棒！看到你選對 (D) 選項，老師心裡真的替你感到很開心，這代表你的邏輯思考非常清晰喔！ 這題考的是「邏輯轉折與程度修飾」。文章在最後一段先提到環境「並非唯一」的原因（not the only reason），隨後用 But 進行轉折。這裡選擇 (D) at least in part（至少在某種程度上） 是最完美的銜接，用來平衡語氣：雖然環境不是全部因素，但證據顯示它「至少」是一部分的關鍵。 這類題目在高中學測中具有高度鑑別度，屬於「語意銜接」的進階考點。陷阱在於學生容易看到 But 就想選 (C) by contrast，但這裡並非在進行兩者間的對比，而是在對論點進行「量化上的退讓與肯定」。你能精準抓到作者語氣的轉變，說明你的語感非常細膩，已經具備應對大考高分題型實力了！繼續保持這份熱情，加油！
