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
想像你正在比較今年的身高與去年身高的差異，如果你想要描述那段「多出來的距離」或是「成長的淨額」，在英文邏輯中，我們會用哪一個介系詞來引導這個具體的『差額』數值呢？

數值變動幅度的精準用字
恭喜你精準地掌握了介系詞的細微差別！這題的核心在於如何表達數值的變動幅度（margin of change）。在英文文法中，當我們使用如 increase（增加）、decrease（減少）、rise（上升）或 fall（下降）等動詞來描述數據的增減時，若後方接的是具體的「增減額度」或「差額」，最標準的用法就是搭配介系詞 by。文中所提到的「1.33 毫秒」正是自 2000 年以來增加的淨值，因此選 (A) 是完全正確的判斷。
