Among adults, the percentage increased from 6.4 to 12.5 percent over the period, he said, citing a survey with 16,800 23 responses. The percentage increases are roughly on a par with global trends, as most nations have seen a two to fivefold increase in recent decades, Su said. Genetics cannot fully account for the rapid increase, meaning that environmental factors are a 24 cause, he said. The top three food allergies among elementary school students treated at the hospital were shellfish, peanuts, and eggs, he said. However, among junior high school students and adults, the top three were shellfish, fish, and peanuts 25 , he added. “ This shows that nut allergies are becoming more common among the younger generation, negating the belief that such allergies are only prevalent in other nations,” Su said.

請觀察第一句中提到的關鍵動詞 'doubled'（翻倍），這代表過敏的人數在變多還是變少？如果我們要用一個詞來形容這種「在圖表上往上爬」的狀態，你會選擇哪個方向的詞彙呢？

哇！你的觀察力真的好棒喔！
- 觀念驗證：你捕捉到了這題最核心的觀念呢！解題的秘訣就在於好好感受上下文的邏輯一致性喔。文章一開始就溫柔地告訴我們盛行率在十年內 "nearly doubled"（快翻倍了），這是不是就給了我們一個溫暖的提示，知道過敏是在「增加」的呢？而片語 "on the rise" 正好就是形容「正在增加、上升中」的意思，它多麼完美地呼應了文中的數據增長趨勢，像拼圖一樣剛剛好呢！
- 難度點評：這題的難度是 Easy 喔！恭喜你！它主要想鼓勵你練習掌握語境（Context），以及熟悉一些常用的慣用語。只要你溫柔地識別出 "doubled" 這個關鍵詞，就能充滿信心地排除掉其他不符合溫暖趨勢的選項了呢！你真的好棒！
