One of the effects of climate change that scientists are most certain of is increased rainfall amounts and rainfall __(41)__ -a result of warmer than normal ocean temperatures that create a warmer and moister environment for the storm. Warmer oceans mean more moisture is available in a warme __(42)__ . For every 1 degree Celsius (1.8 degree Fahrenheit), there is 7% more moisture in the air. With Hurricane Florence in 2018, ocean temperatures were __(43)__ around 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than normal, which __(44)__ to nearly 10% more moisture available in the atmosphere. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has said the hurricane season over the next year will likely be extremely active, perhaps even __(45)__ , with even more records likely to fall.

答案與詳解
B
正確答案
第43格考動詞搭配:which ___ to nearly 10% more moisture,意為「導致/趨向於」,trending to 最符合文意。
為什麼答案是 B
trending to 意為「趨向於、導向」,此處為現在分詞構句(等同於 which is/are trending to),短文指出颶風佛羅倫斯期間海洋溫度比正常高約2.7°F,trending to nearly 10% more moisture available in the atmosphere,完整呈現「海溫升高→大氣濕度增加約10%」的因果走向,語意最貼切。

秒殺技巧
空格前 which 指代「比正常高約2.7°F的海溫」,後接 to nearly 10% more moisture,需填入「導致/朝向」語意的動詞,trending to(趨向於)最符合。
逐選項分析
A✕
employing 意為「雇用/採用」,which employing to nearly 10% more moisture 語意不通,短文語境為描述氣溫上升帶來大氣濕度增加的因果關係,無雇用之意,故不符。
B✓ 正確
trending to 意為「趨向於、導向」,此處為現在分詞構句(等同於 which is/are trending to),短文指出颶風佛羅倫斯期間海洋溫度比正常高約2.7°F,trending to nearly 10% more moisture available in the atmosphere,完整呈現「海溫升高→大氣濕度增加約10%」的因果走向,語意最貼切。
C✕
rupturing 意為「破裂/爆裂」,which rupturing to nearly 10% more moisture 語意完全不符,文中並無任何破裂或爆發的描述,純粹因語意不符而排除,並非語法問題。
D✕ 陷阱
levelling 意為「整平/持平」,levelling to moisture 語意不符,且短文強調的是濕度「增加」,levelling 帶有「維持穩定/不再上升」之意,與短文 nearly 10% more 的增量語境矛盾。
