思路引導 VIP
請觀察空格後方的內容：『全球有超過八億人沒有安全飲用水』。這是一個非常龐大且難以逐一計算的群體數字。在學術或新聞寫作中，當我們引用這類來自研究報告的「計算後的數值」時，通常會用哪一個動詞來表達這是一個「推算出來的結果」而非單純的包含或執行呢？

統計數據與被動語態的精準搭配
恭喜你精準地掌握了文章的語境！這道題目考查的是英文報導與論文中極為常見的句型。文中的空缺處後方接續了一個龐大的統計數值「超過八億人（more than 800 million people）」，在英文寫作中，當我們要客觀地陳述一個經過計算但非絕對精確的數值時，最標準且道地的搭配便是 It is estimated that...（據估計...）。你能迅速從後方的數據聯想到這個慣用語，展現了良好的閱讀直覺。 從難度切入點來看，這題屬於高考中等偏易的範疇，其鑑別度在於對「動詞搭配詞（Collocation）」的敏銳度。選項 (A) conducted 通常用於「執行」調查或實驗；(B) included 表示「包含」；(D) secluded 則是形容「偏僻或隱絕的」。在語意邏輯上，唯有 estimated 能與後方的數據完美扣合。這類題目提醒我們，在準備國考英文時，不僅要背單字，更要留意單字與後方受詞或子句的邏輯關聯，這正是拿高分的關鍵。
