Taiwan is a global high-tech powerhouse because of its dynamic industries. Of these, the electronics industry is best known for its importance in the digital age. This industry has a competitive strength which was built from years of developing expertise in electronics manufacturing. Electronics manufacturing in Taiwan began around the mid-20th century. Initially, companies produced mainly components according to customers’ designs and requirements, functioning as contract manufacturers for other brands. In the process, they learned to adapt, innovate, and compete. By the 1990s, Taiwan had become a global leader in computer and notebook production. Major manufacturers developed the expert skills and knowledge for product designing and innovation. Today, some of them are able to provide a full range of electronics manufacturing services (EMS). These EMS providers serve various industries that include computing, communications, and consumer electronics. Four Taiwanese manufacturers have made it onto the list of the world’s top ten EMS providers. Taiwan’s electronics industry owes its success to several factors. First, there is a ready pool of professionals to meet industry needs. Secondly, official policies provide the necessary industrial support. Thirdly, a wide network of local suppliers adds to better efficiency and innovation. Last but not least, manufacturers pay special attention to producing high-quality products, rather than competing on price. Currently, the great demand for AI products offers new business opportunities. Manufacturers who **ride the wave of change** are making more money from AI servers than from iPhones. For the first time, AI-related products have beaten consumer electronics in manufacturing business. In fact, Taiwan made over 80 percent of the world’s AI servers (伺服器) in 2025. Quite clearly, this demonstrates the ability of Taiwan’s electronics industry to move forward with technology.

同學好！這道題目考查的是片語語意推論。 你選擇了 (C)「最後錯過新機會」，可能是在閱讀時將「變革（change）」聯想成帶有挑戰或負面風險的處境。但我們從上下文來推敲：文章前面提到 AI 產品帶來龐大商機，接著說 ride the wave of change 的製造商「從 AI 伺服器賺到的錢比 iPhone 還多（making more money...）」。從「獲利更多」的正向結果，可以推知這些製造商是順利搭上趨勢，而不是錯過機會。 片語 ride the wave 字面意思是「乘著浪潮」，引申為「順應潮流、把握時機」，因此最接近的意思正是 (D) take advantage of the new change（善用這項新變革）。
