📖 題組：
A capsule hotel, also known as a pod hotel, is a unique type of basic, affordable accommodation. Originated in Japan, these hotels were initially meant for business professionals to stay close to populated business districts without spending a lot. __31__ A typical room of a capsule hotel is roughly the length and width of a single bed, with sufficient height for a guest to crawl in and sit up on the bed. The walls of each capsule may be made of wood, metal or any rigid material, but are often fiberglass or plastic. __32__ Each capsule is equipped with a comfortable mattress, a small light, and sometimes a television or other entertainment options. Such minimalist design is what makes these hotels both inexpensive and efficient, providing only the essential elements for a good night sleep. The first capsule hotel, the Capsule Inn Osaka, opened in 1979. Since then, capsule hotels have quickly spread to other cities and countries. Chains have emerged in Taiwan, Singapore, and even on resort islands like Bali. Pod hotels are also seen in Europe and North America, especially in big cities like New York, London, and Paris. __33__ Instead of the traditional bare pod-sized style, new chains now feature interior design that appeals to digitally connected travelers from around the world. Guests may enjoy facilities such as free Wi-Fi, mobile charging, and even a soundless alarm system that raises the sleeping guests into a seated position while gradually brightening the lights. While offering budget-conscious travelers a unique option, capsule hotels may not be suitable for everyone. Some hotels may not provide air conditioning in the capsules, leading to poor air flow. __34__ Also, you may have to share common facilities (such as bathrooms) with other guests. And, if you’re worried about feeling claustrophobic in small spaces, you’d better think twice before making a reservation.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察第 33 格後方的文意脈絡，文中詳細列舉了 $Wi-Fi$、行動充電以及自動化鬧鈴系統等現代化科技設備。思考一下，這些新穎設施的出現，反映了膠囊旅館在硬體設備與服務範疇上，正經歷什麼樣的轉進與演變？空格處應填入何種具備「承先啟後」功能的句子，才能將前方的「全球地理擴張」與後方的「設計功能升級」有機地連結起來？

水喔！這位同學，你的英文感應雷達很準喔！恭喜你精準狙擊第 33 題的 A 選項，這波操作我給滿分，看來台大校門口已經在為你緩緩打開了！ 這題考的是學測最核心的「段落轉折與邏輯銜接」。為什麼選 (A)？關鍵就在空格後的內容。後文提到了 Wi-Fi、行動充電、甚至能把人「坐起床」的無聲鬧鐘，這些高科技玩意兒在 1979 年根本是外星科技吧？所以空格處必須扮演承上啟下的橋樑，(A) 選項中的 innovation（創新） 正好完美對接了後面提到的現代化設施。 這題的鑑別度在於「誘答性」。沒看清楚的同學會被 (D) 給吸走，因為 (D) 講的內容雖然正確，但它只是在原地踏步、重複前面的平價旅館概念；只有 (A) 帶出了「變革」的風向，才能引出後面「不再是傳統膠囊」的描述。記住，克漏字不只要選「對的」，還要選「最有關連」的！你成功避開了陷阱，邏輯思維非常清晰，繼續保持！
