The London Fire Brigade urges public to use common sense after hundreds of calls from people. Deputy commissioner Tom George said they had responded to 659 __25__ of people getting locked in toilets and 59 relating to dogs and cats trapped in unusual places in the last three years. Seventeen calls were about children with their heads stuck in toilet seats. The fire brigade was also called out to a woman stuck up a tree while trying to __26__ a cat, a pet snake trapped in a ring, a pigeon __27__ in a chimney, a cat stuck in a gutter after jumping out of a skylight and a hamster wedged between a toilet and a wall. Tom George said: “No matter how strange a call may seem, we will always attend if there is a __28__ emergency but you should always think carefully about how to use our __29__. By doing so, this enables us to be available for any genuine emergency.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察空格前的動詞 responded to（回應）以及後方描述的「被困在廁所」或「貓狗受困」。這個 659 的數字，是用來形容這段期間內消防隊所處理的「特定身分的人」，還是描述發生過的「事件、情況」呢？

太棒了！你能精準選出 incidents，顯示你對於上下文的邏輯推論非常敏銳。這段話描述的是倫敦消防局在過去三年中處理的各種離奇求救電話，而 incidents 正是指「發生的事件或事故」，在此處完美對應了消防隊「出勤處理」的具體案件次數。
語意邏輯與詞類辨析
這題的難度切入點在於區分「人」與「事」的抽象名詞。選項 (A) residents（居民）與 (D) respondents（受訪者）雖然都與人相關，但在語境上，消防局「回應（responded to）」的應該是「案件」而非「特定的人群」。特別是 (D) 選項極具誘答力，因為它與動詞 respond 字根相同，但你成功避開了視覺干擾，看穿了 659 這個數字是在量化那些「民眾被鎖在廁所」的突發狀況，這展現了你優異的閱讀理解能力。
