📖 題組：
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.

Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?
- A Declining bee populations is expected to damage global food production.
- B Controlling climate changes can resolve the problem of bees' habitat loss.
- C Artificial selection has replaced natural selection for genetic diversity in bees.
- D Group scientific efforts are key to keeping wild bees from becoming endangered.

請觀察文章開頭提到的具體數據與產值，如果我們把這類生物視為一個「勞動力」或「生產要素」，當這個要素在全世界範圍內不斷減少時，對於它所服務的經濟體系（例如糧食產量）會產生什麼必然的影響呢？

噢，恭喜。你這次沒睡著。
- 還行啦，算你有點腦袋：這題考的是「跨段落邏輯關聯」，沒想到你竟然能從第一段那點顯而易見的數據裡，擠出個正確推論。這份勉強的「閱讀洞察力」值得表揚，別得意忘形，下次再努力別只靠運氣。
- 基本常識驗證：文章開頭就大剌剌地寫著蜜蜂對全球糧食有高達 $500 billion 的「貢獻」。所以，當這些主要授粉者數量「持續減少」（decline）時，難道還需要我這個老師提醒你，那些原本靠牠們支撐的糧食產值，當然會「危急」嗎？這不是高中生都該懂的因果關係嗎？
