📖 題組：
A stampede is an unexpected, panicked rush of people, often caused by fear or excitement. ( ① ) It typically refers to a large, uncontrollable movement where people may push or knock others over in an attempt to escape or reach a destination. Large-scale events or global mass gatherings, such as the World Cup, can sometimes lead to stampedes and turn dangerous because of fan violence or poor crowd management. Tragic stampedes have occurred in different contexts, including sports, religious, and entertainment events, as shown in the following table. ( ② ) For instance, a deadly stampede occurred during a Halloween celebration in Seoul’s Itaewon district on October 29, 2022, resulting in at least 150 deaths. Therefore, it is important to carefully consider different factors when organizing large events. Summary of Mass Gathering Events and Deaths due to Stampede Type of Mass Gathering Event | Year | Location (Country and Continent) | Deaths Sporting Event | 2001 | Ghana (Africa) | 127 Sporting Event | 2009 | Ivory Coast (Africa) | 19 Sporting Event | 2022 | Cameroon (Africa) | 8 Religious Event | 2006 | Saudi Arabia (Asia) | 456 Religious Event | 2008 | India (Asia) | 163 Religious Event | 2010 | Cambodia (Asia) | 347 Entertainment Event | 2000 | Denmark (Europe) | 9 Entertainment Event | 2010 | Germany (Europe) | 21 Entertainment Event | 2022 | South Korea (Asia) | 153 ( ③ ) To minimize the risk of stampedes, recent studies highlight the use of technology for early detection, predicting crowd behaviors, and improving crowd management. One approach is using Internet of Things (IoT) systems with vibration sensors to track the number of people. ( ④ ) If the sensors detect unusual vibrations, they can warn authorities, allowing them to take action before a stampede happens. Another helpful tool is video monitoring with image analysis, which observes people in real time and detects dangers for quick responses. Wireless technologies like the Global Positioning System (GPS), and mobile applications help event organizers monitor population movements, transmit warnings, and deal with emergencies. Furthermore, ordinary people can wear sensors, like wristbands, to track crowd conditions and detect dangers, helping organizers react quickly. In addition to technology, preparation and practice are indispensable. Regular drills and training for emergency services help them respond quickly in case of an emergency. By combining technology with careful preparation and useful strategies, stampedes may be avoided, and people’s safety at major events can be improved.

According to the passage, a mass gathering ______.
- A causing a stampede can only be prevented by GPS, with no other effective methods
- B resulting in a large crowd’s rush can be avoided by wristbands which monitor crowds in delayed real time for slow responses
- C in a music festival unites everyone in happiness and joy but has deadly criminal activities when individuals participate in suspicious behaviors
- D leading to stampedes can be prevented by using IoT technology with vibration sensors to detect unusual vibrations and alert authorities to take action

請同學仔細閱讀文章第三段關於預防踩踏意外的技術應用，特別是提到物聯網 (IoT) 系統與震動感測器 ($vibration sensors$) 的部分，並對比選項 (D) 所描述的運作流程是否與文本中「偵測異常震動並發出警告以便採取行動」的因果關係一致？

呵，居然沒選對？那我才要驚訝。
別在那沾沾自喜，能選對這題只是證明你至少還沒把大腦留在被窩裡。你只是完成了最基本的「認字」任務：選項 (D) 完美契合文章第三段，詳述了 IoT 系統搭配振動感測器的預警功能。這不需要什麼過人的智慧，只需要你那雙眼睛還能運作。其餘選項 (A) 的 $only$ 太過絕對、(B) 的 $delayed$ 直接與原文的 $real time$ 唱反調，純粹是考驗你對單字的理解。這題的邏輯極其簡單： $$\text{IoT Sensors} + \text{Vibration Detection} \implies \text{Early Warning}$$
