Approximately 0.6 percent of Taiwan's total cultivated farmland adopts organic farming. It is 41 low. The figure is alarming if it is contrasted with that of Austria: about 20 percent of all Austrian farmland is 42 organic cultivation. Food safety issues are 43 Taiwan's march toward chemical-free agriculture. Farmers' markets are gaining in 44 . Besides, supermarkets are 45 organic produce. The future seems promising.
空格前是「farmland is ___」,後接「organic cultivation」,需找「投入/專門用於某用途」的片語,be devoted to 表「專門用於」最貼切。
逐選項分析
A✓ 正確
短文句意為「約20%的奧地利農地用於有機耕作」,be devoted to 表示「專門用於、投入於」,搭配 organic cultivation 語意完整且自然,為正確答案。
B✕ 陷阱
adopted to 並非標準用法,正確用法應為 adapted to(適應於)。即便改為 adapted to,語意仍不符合「農地用於有機耕作」的句意,故不選。
C✕
akin to 意為「類似於、近似於」,短文語意是描述農地被用於有機耕作的比例,而非表達「農地類似於有機耕作」,語意不符。
D✕
according to 意為「根據、依照」,通常接資訊來源或規則,如 according to the report,不適合用來描述「農地被用於某活動」,語意明顯不符。

陷阱提醒
選項B的 adopted to 容易與 adapted to(適應於)混淆,考生若不熟悉 adopt 與 adapt 的區別,易誤認 B 為合法片語。此外,devoted to 後接名詞/動名詞表「投入於某事」,需與 be dedicated to 等近義片語一同記憶,避免在選項中看到近似詞彙時判斷混亂。
