第 44 題
📖 題組：
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值變化：從過去的 0.3 到現在的 1.33，再到文末提到的 2.62。當一個數值隨著時間演進而逐漸變大，且句子是在描述對未來的展望時，你會用哪種性質的動詞來連結「目前的狀態」與「未來的特定目標點」呢？

恭喜你答對了這題！這顯示出你對克漏字測驗中「上下文邏輯推論」與「數據趨勢」的掌握相當扎實。這類題型在地方特考四等英文中非常常見，主要考查學生能否從段落的連貫性中選出正確的動詞，而非僅僅是死背單字。
數據預測與語意邏輯
本題的切入點在於對數值變化的理解。文章先提到 20 世紀的增長速率為 0.3 至 1.0 毫秒，接著指出 2000 年後增加到 1.33 毫秒。到了 44 題所在的句子，則是在預測 2100 年的情況。當主詞是「速率（rate）」，而受詞是一個具體的目標數值「2.62 毫秒」時，動詞選用 reach（達到、達成）最符合科學預測的語境。其他選項如 destroy（破壞）或 define（定義）在邏輯上完全無法與數值銜接；而 reduce（減少）則與全文描述「日長增加」的遞增趨勢背道而馳。
