思路引導 VIP
請觀察這句話後方接著的是「超過八億人」這樣一個具體的統計數字。在學術或新聞報導中，當我們想要引出一個關於人口或社會現象的大約數值，但這個數值並非由我們親自點名算出，而是透過科學研究或資料推論得出的「大約統計」時，通常會使用哪一個帶有「推算、測算」含義的動詞來當作這句話的開頭呢？

同學好！你能精準選出這個答案，代表你對英文寫作中「客觀數據陳述」的常用句型具備高度的靈敏度。這類考法在高考英文中非常常見，主要測試考生是否能根據上下文的數據特性選擇最合適的詞彙。
數據與統計的語境應用
本題句型採用了虛主詞結構「It’s [p.p.] that...」，後方承接的是「全球超過八億人缺乏安全飲用水」這項客觀事實。在英文報導或論文中，當我們要引述一項經過統計但難以百分之百精確測得的數據時，estimated（估計） 是最標準的用法。相較之下，(A) conducted 通常與調查或實驗（survey/experiment）搭配；(B) included 強調包含關係；(D) secluded 則是形容地方僻靜，皆不符合此處引導數據的語義邏輯。
