This circulation plays a crucial role inregulating climate, especially in Europe, which 32 from milder temperatures due to the AMOC’sinfluence. However, global warming is disrupting the balance of heat and salinity that maintains this system,causing it to weaken. Some studies suggest the AMOC could collapse entirely within this century if warmingcontinues unchecked. Such a collapse would bring dramatic climate changes, including wintertemperatures 33 as low as minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit in some cities, with severe impacts on societiesand ecosystems worldwide. Despite this, scientists 34 uncertain about how these cooling effects willinteract with the overall warming caused by human activities like burning fossil fuels.

代號：40140-40340 頁次：4－4請依下文回答第 36 題至第 40 題： In recent years, an increasingly prominent social trend has emerged in which pets—particularly cats anddogs—are anthropomorphized and regarded as “furry kids.” No longer seen merely as domestic animals, theyare embraced as integral members of the family. From celebrating pet birthdays to dressing them in human-like apparel, many individuals refer to themselves as “pet parents” rather than owners. This phenomenonreflects a deeper emotional attachment and a redefinition of familial roles in contemporary society. A key catalyst for this shift is the declining birth rate and the rise of child-free households, especially inurbanized, industrial societies. For a growing number of young adults, economic uncertainty, career-drivenlifestyles, and the escalating cost of childrearing have rendered pet companionship a more accessible andemotionally rewarding alternative to parenting. Social media platforms further amplify this cultural shift bynormalizing and glamorizing human-pet relationships, thereby reinforcing the perception of pets as childsubstitutes. While the emotional fulfillment derived from treating pets as “furry kids” is undeniable, this trend alsoraises important ethical and practical concerns. Excessive anthropomorphism can lead to misguidedexpectations regarding animal behavior and needs. In some cases, animals are subjected to inappropriate diets,cosmetic treatments, or consumer-driven practices that prioritize human gratification over animal well-being.Moreover, on a societal level, this phenomenon may signify deeper psychological patterns, such as increasedsocial isolation, delayed life milestones, or evolving conceptions of responsibility and intimacy. Looking ahead, the “furry kid” phenomenon is poised to intensify, especially with ongoing innovations inpet technology and services. As the concept of family continues to diversify, companion animals will likelyoccupy an even more central role in people’s emotional landscapes. Nonetheless, it is imperative that societycultivates a balanced perspective—one that fosters both emotional connection and conscientious care, ensuringpets are respected not as human replacements, but as sentient beings with distinct needs.
