It is still a problem for many people in the world to have safe water to drink.

The tap water had aging facilities or toxic chemicals in the water supply. On the other hand, bottled water has a huge environmental impact. It usually __44__ a lake, spring, or underground aquifer, and on average, __45__ need 3 liters of water to make one liter of bottled water.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察這句話中的兩個核心對象：『瓶裝水』與『自來水』。結合後文提到自來水『設施老化且含有毒素』的描述，請思考：在這種安全性受損的情境下，這兩者是『相輔相成』的關係，還是其中一方『被另一方取代』的關係？哪一種邏輯連接詞最能體現這種『棄 A 選 B』的排他性呢？

恭喜你精準地抓住了上下文的轉折邏輯！這題的解題核心在於語意銜接與邏輯判斷。文意提到美國部分城市的自來水供應系統存在設施老化或化學污染的問題，在這種「原水源不可用」的負面條件下，市民必須尋求替代方案。因此，空格處需要一個表達「取而代之」或「而非」的介系詞短語，選項 (D) instead of（代替；而非）完美地契合了這種替代關係。
邏輯銜接與語意辨析
在高考英文的克漏字測驗中，這類題目主要考驗考生能否從後文的負面描述（aging facilities or toxic chemicals）反推前文的行為選擇。雖然選項 (A) in addition to（除...之外還有）與 (B) as well as（以及）在文法上看似可行，但若代入語境，會變成瓶裝水與「有毒自來水」同時併用，顯然不合常理。這題的難度切入點在於考生是否能快速建立句子間的因果邏輯，而非單純地翻譯單字。你能不受干擾地選出正確選項，展現了非常紮實的閱讀理解實力。
