📖 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.

思路引導 VIP
請同學觀察待插入句子的語意結構，它提到了「現代科技」(modern technologies)、「有效的群眾管制」(effective crowd control) 以及「緊急應對策略」(emergency response strategies) 等解決方案。請回頭審視文章的段落發展：哪一個標記位置之後的內容，開始從「描述悲劇事件」轉向「探討具體的預防措施與技術應用」呢？這句話是否具備了「承上啟下」的總綱性質？
