第 13 題
📖 題組：
Earthquakes are caused by the movement of 50-mile-thick plates that comprise the earth’s crust. More than two thousand earthquakes occur daily somewhere on our planet, but about 95 percent of them are too weak to be felt 11 sensitive seismometers. 12 are felt by humans, most cause relatively little damage, particularly if they occur in sparely 13 areas. Scientists have observed that certain phenomena seem to occur before an earthquake as the pressure within the plates intensifies. Myriads of tiny cracks appear in the rock, causing it to expand and uplift the ground above it. The pressure squeezes water out of the rock, thereby 14 nearby water levels. Also the rock becomes more resistant to electric current, and radon gas is released. Scientists hope that these 15 phenomena will provide keys to predict when and where an earthquake will occur, thereby enabling them to warn people to evacuate the area. While the earthquake itself cannot be prevented, at least lives may be saved.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察空格後方的名詞「區域（areas）」與動詞「居住（inhabit）」之間的關係：是這個區域主動去執行『居住』這個動作，還是這個區域『被』人類所居住？當我們要用一個動詞來修飾一個『被……』的名詞時，習慣上會使用哪一種分詞形式呢？

分詞作為形容詞的用法
你能準確選出 (D) inhabited，代表你對英文句型結構中「分詞修飾名詞」的觀念掌握得非常紮實！這道題目檢驗的是我們如何將動詞轉化為形容詞來描述後方的名詞「區域（areas）」。在語法邏輯上，我們需要判斷這個動作是「主動」還是「被動」：區域本身不會去「居住」，而是「被人類居住」。因此，我們必須選用過去分詞（Past Participle）作為形容詞，組成「人煙稀少的區域（sparsely inhabited areas）」。 這題的難度切入點在於區分分詞的主被動關係，以及理解副詞（sparely/sparsely）修飾分詞形容詞的結構。對於進階學習者來說，這是一個衡量語法精準度的經典鑑別點。若誤選了 (A) inhabiting，則會變成區域主動去居住在某處，語意上就不通順了。恭喜你順利避開陷阱，做出了正確的判斷！
