White rhinoceroses, 11 , do the same thing—only their choice of meeting place is a giant pile of poop.
答案：(B) it turns out
it turns out 作插入語，意為「結果發現、原來」，用來帶出出乎意料的事實——白犀牛竟然也和人類一樣會聚集交流；what is more（更有甚者）、in other words（換句話說）、all in all（總而言之）都不帶「意外」的語氣。
前後兩句講的是同一件事——人類聚在一起交換消息，白犀牛也聚在一起交換消息，所以手會伸向 what is more（更有甚者），覺得這是「再加一項」。你抓到兩句同向，這個判斷沒錯，錯在漏看主詞換了人：前句主詞是 people，本句主詞是 White rhinoceroses。從人跳到動物，作者要傳的不是「再加一項」，是「沒想到吧」。
連貫標記這一類的題目，四個選項的中文各不相同，考的不是字義而是句與句之間的邏輯關係，所以要先問「這兩句是什麼關係」。這裡的關係是意外的發現，it turns out（結果發現、原來）正是專門帶出意外的插入語。驗算法是把插入語拆回完整句子：It turns out that white rhinoceroses do the same thing.（結果發現白犀牛也做同樣的事。）確認拆得回去，就知道它是插入語不是連接詞。破折號後面那句 only their choice of meeting place is a giant pile of poop（只是牠們選的聚會地點是一大堆糞便）更把落差寫死了，意外的語氣前後呼應。一句記完：It turns out that the quiet park near my school draws more visitors than the one with the new playground.（結果發現，學校旁邊那座安靜的公園，來的人比有新遊具的那座還多。）〔情境取材自 111 學測作文題：兩座公園的比較〕
what is more（更有甚者）用在同一個對象再加一項，不換主詞；in other words（換句話說）是把前句換個說法再講一次，但本句是新資訊不是改述；all in all（總而言之）是收尾用語，這裡才第二句，文章還沒展開。反義方向記一組：it turns out 帶出意料之外，as expected（不出所料）帶出意料之中。
it turns out (that) + 子句（結果發現）、turn out to be（結果是）、as expected（不出所料）、what is more（更有甚者）、in other words（換句話說）、all in all（總而言之）、gather together（聚集）、share the latest news（分享最新消息）。其中 turn out to be 這一組考過 5 個年度，89 年第 26 題 →、103 年第 28 題 →、105 年第 17 題 →、108 年第 21 題 →都出現過；what is more 考過 3 個年度，92 年第 27 題 →、103 年第 19 題 →都出現過。
From the campfire to the café, people have always gathered together to share the latest news. White rhinoceroses, 11 , do the same thing—only their choice of meeting place is a giant pile of poop. A new study indicates that rhinos have a smelly way to 12 .
Scientists studying white rhinos in South Africa have found that these animals leave messages in their poop. In particular, they leave their poop in the same place for all the other members in the group to smell—just like humans leaving messages on social media. Furthermore, different rhinos leave different chemicals in their poop, which provide important 13 about the age, sex, general health, and reproductive conditions of each specific rhino.
This is of great significance for the peace and harmony in the group. When all members in a group know what's going on with each other, it is 14 that they will fight.
The researchers have even made "fake poop" to see how different rhinos would react. They find that dominant males are particularly 15 the "fake poop" that carries chemicals from females ready to mate. The males sniff it for longer duration and come back to the same spot more frequently, a clear sign that they are gathering information about mating opportunities from the poop.
