思路引導 VIP
請觀察空格後方關於水質的負面描述（設備老舊、有毒物質），當原有的選項因為出問題而無法使用時，我們會用什麼樣的邏輯連接詞來描述「捨棄前者、改用後者」的行為？

恭喜你精準掌握了文章的邏輯脈絡！這題的關鍵在於判讀前後句的「因果與對照」關係。文句隨後提到自來水系統（tap water）存在設施老舊或含毒性化學物質（toxic chemicals）的問題，在這種負面條件下，城市居民自然無法飲用自來水，進而選擇瓶裝水作為替代。instead of 在此處傳達了「取代」或「而非」的語意，完美銜接了選用瓶裝水來替代不安全自來水的行為。
語意邏輯與應考技巧
這類題目在高考英文中屬於偏易的慣用語測驗，主要考察考生對上下文轉折的敏感度。解題的切入點不在於單字難度，而在於「抓出負面標籤」，例如本題的「toxic」。一旦辨識出原有的選項（自來水）是有缺陷的，就能快速鎖定具有「排除」或「替代」意涵的短語。你能避開 (A) in addition to（除了...還有）或 (B) as well as（以及）這種代表「並列」關係的誘答選項，顯見你對文章邏輯的理解相當紮實，這是國考英文拿高分的必備直覺。
