請依下文回答第 41 題至第 45 題： A new study published in July 2024 reveals that climate change is causing Earth’s days to lengthen at an unprecedented rate. While Earth’s days have naturally been increasing by a few milliseconds per century due to lunar gravity, the melting of polar ice sheets is 41 this process significantly. 42 Arctic and Antarctic ice melts, the restructuring of mass from poles to equator is further flattening Earth’s shape. Since 2000, the day length has increased 43 about 1.33 milliseconds per century, up from 0.3-1.0 milliseconds in the 20th century. If greenhouse gas emissions continue unchecked, this rate could 44 2.62 milliseconds per century by 2100. Although people are generally 45 , these changes have important meanings for global timekeeping systems. The changes may require adjustments to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), potentially affecting satellite navigation, telecommunications, trade, and space travel operations.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察文章中提到的數據演變：從 20 世紀的「0.3-1.0 毫秒」增加到現在的「1.33 毫秒」，甚至預測未來會達到「2.62 毫秒」。當一個數值在時間推移下變得越來越大、發生的節奏越來越快時，你會用哪種動詞來描述這個「過程」的變化狀態呢？

恭喜你精準捕捉到了文章的語境線索！這道題目考查的是對「因果邏輯」與「語意趨勢」的判讀。文章開頭便點出氣候變遷正導致地球日照時間延長，並提到過去這是一個受月球引力影響的緩慢自然過程；然而，隨後的數據明確顯示，自 2000 年起，日照增加的速率從 20 世紀的 0.3-1.0 毫秒躍升至 1.33 毫秒。你能從這種「數據攀升」的描述中，判斷出融冰正在「加速」這個過程，進而選出 speeding (up)，顯示你對於長篇敘述中的量化邏輯有很強的掌握力。
語境線索與難度評估
這類克漏字在地方特考中屬於中等難度的鑑別題。其難點不在於單字艱澀，而在於考生是否能將前後文的數據變化轉化為動詞判斷。選項 (B) slowing（減緩）與文章中「速率增加」的數據完全相反；(A) sensing（感應）與 (D) stopping（停止）則不符合物理現象的描述。掌握 unprecedented rate（前所未有的速率）與後續 2.62 milliseconds 的預測值，便是破題的關鍵切入點。在考場上，只要能抓準文中表現「變化趨勢」的詞彙，就能立於不敗之地。
