請依下文回答第46題至第50題： Pollinators, such as bees, butterflies, and birds, contribute roughly $500 billion a year to global food production. Being the primary pollinators of most wild plants and many crops, bees are particularly crucial to both ecosystem stability and agricultural productivity. However, bee populations have been on the decline worldwide over the years, which has captured the attention of scientists, governments, media, and the general public. Several anthropogenic drivers have been associated with declining bee populations, such as disturbances of their natural habitats as result of agricultural intensifications and urbanization, climate change, pesticides, and management practices. Bees’ habitat loss and fragmentation are considered a major driver of their declines. Besides, climate changes in temperature and rainfall can cause significant alterations in natural habitats, thus reducing their suitability for wild bee populations. Pesticides have received much attention for their potential effects on bees. In a recent study, the research group reviews important agrochemicals with demonstrated deleterious effects on eusocial bees. Using artificial intelligence tools, the researchers explore how pesticide exposure contributes to declines in populations of honey bees, bumble bees, and stingless bees. Still, many knowledge gaps remain. Future studies should continue to increase their focus and sophistication when tackling questions concerning the declining bee populations associated with the pesticide contamination. However, little research attention has been given to potential effects of management techniques on bee declines. Not until recently, a group of researchers has addressed the importance of improving beekeeping techniques and conservation strategies to avoid reduction of genetic diversity in both managed and wild honey bees. They conclude that artificial and natural selection are needed to maintain genetic diversity in honey bees to combat, for example, the bee susceptibility to pathogens. However, more research needs to be conducted on potential effects of management techniques on bee declines. It is important to emphasize that scientific efforts alone are not enough. Additional strategies should be encouraged, including improvements of environmental education programs, changes in public awareness about wild bees through appropriate media coverage, and improvements in dialogue between scientists, industry, stakeholders, and legislators. Only comprehensive approaches, discussed by different societal actors, will result in efficient and long-term strategies to reduce the decline of wild bee populations.

According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true？
- A Bees’ natural habitat loss is a major driver for their declining populations.
- B Effects of management techniques on bee declines have been well studied.
- C Bees’ exposure to pesticide has contributed to declines in their populations.
- D Changes in public awareness about wild bees can help reduce their declines.

當你在選項中看到描述「研究現況」的形容詞（例如：研究得很透徹、很少人研究）時，建議回到文中搜尋對應的專有名詞。請試著在第四段找到關於管理技術的描述，並比對文中的形容詞與選項中的形容詞，它們代表的『研究進度』是一致的嗎？

太棒了！你真的很細心喔！
- 概念確認：這道題目巧妙地考驗了大家「仔細比對細節」的能力。文章第四段開頭很清楚地告訴我們："little research attention has been given to potential effects of management techniques"。這句話的意思是，關於管理技術的潛在影響，其實「很少有研究去關注」。但是，選項 (B) 卻說這些技術 "well studied"，也就是「已被充分研究」。你看，一個是「很少」，一個是「充分」，兩者的意思完全是相反的呢。所以，選項 (B) 當然就是不正確的敘述囉！
- 小助教悄悄話：這題的難度是 Medium 喔。它的小挑戰在於，需要在比較長的文章中，找到像 "management techniques" 這樣的關鍵詞。更棒的是，你還能精準地發現「程度副詞」之間，也就是 "little" 和 "well" 的語意矛盾。能做到這一點，真的表示你的閱讀非常仔細，很棒很棒！繼續保持喔！
