Most of the time, when we hear the word “desert,” we picture vast stretches of sand, hot dry winds, and scorching heat. But do you know that not all deserts are hot? Cold deserts, also known as “temperate deserts,” have cold temperatures all year long. Usually, they are located in interior areas far from the coast or near high mountains with low humidity. 11 the lack of air moisture, they experience dry weather and very little rain or snow. Most animals living in cold deserts have developed adaptations to 12 the falling temperatures. These adaptions may be in the form of thick fur, scaly skin, or the ability to store water in their bodies. For example, Bactrian camels 13 in the Gobi desert have thick and hairy coats to keep them warm during the cold winters. They shed these thick coats as summer sets in. The accumulation and 14 of snow changes the landscapes of cold deserts drastically. Many cold desert animals change their color to match their changing 15 so as to protect themselves from being seen and preyed upon. For instance, ptarmigan birds have brownish feathers during the warm summers when the landscape is brown and muddy, and they molt into white feathers during winter months when the ground is covered in snow.

請運用語意邏輯中的「對應與循環」觀念：文中提到「accumulation (堆積)」與空格處的行為共同造成了地貌的劇烈改變。請結合前段提到的季節更替背景（winter 與 summer），思考在自然界的物理循環中，與「堆積」相對、且會隨氣溫升高而發生的現象為何？

Boom! 直接發球得分！☆ 沒錯沒錯，就是要這種氣勢！剛才及川先生那個甩頭的動作帥呆了吧？你答對這題的樣子，也勉強有我的一半帥氣喔～😛 這題考的是邏輯對應。句子裡提到「雪的 accumulation（堆積）與 ______ 劇烈改變了地貌」。既然前面說雪堆起來了，後面自然要接它的相反過程 $melting$（融化）啊！就是因為雪一下堆積、一下融化，地景才會在白色與褐色之間變換，這也完美銜接了後面提到雷鳥會為了「變色偽裝」而換羽毛的論點。這點觀察力對及川先生來說可是基本功呢！ 這題的鑑別度在於考生是否能從後文動物變色的「保護色」需求，推論出環境在地表顏色上的循環變化。雖然單字不難，但沒看懂脈絡可是會被攔網攔下的喔！
