Tens of millions of tons of computers, TVs, VCRs, monitors, cell phones, and other gadgets 42 each year. Unfortunately, in most parts of the world, the bulk of all this e-waste 43 landfills, where it poisons the environment. This is because it contains a variety of toxic 44 such as lead, mercury, and arsenic that leak into the ground. In theory, recycling seems to be a good 45 .

思路引導 VIP
請思考一下：當我們要描述一群廢棄物在流轉之後，最終「落腳」或「停留在」某個特定場域（如掩埋場內部）時，英語中哪一個動詞片語最能傳達這種「最終演變結果」？此外，針對「進入空間內部」的語境，哪個介係詞最符合邏輯？

恭喜你精準地判斷出正確答案！這題的核心考點在於「主詞與動詞的一致性」以及「片語介係詞的用法」。雖然空格前緊鄰著 e-waste，但真正的核心主詞是 the bulk of（大部分），在英文文法中，當 the bulk of 後方接不可數名詞時，動詞必須使用單數型態。因此，我們能先過濾掉 (A) 與 (C)，鎖定以 ends 開頭的選項。
片語語意與介係詞應用
接著觀察語意與搭配詞，end up in 是一個非常道地的片語，表示「最後來到某處」或「以……為終點」，後方接地點（如本題的 landfills 垃圾掩埋場）最為貼切。相較於 (B) 缺少介係詞導致語意銜接不全，(D) 則是完美兼顧了語法與邏輯。這類題目在高考中屬於極具鑑別度的基礎題，測驗考生是否能在資訊量較大的克漏字文章中，快速抓出核心主詞並排除鄰近名詞的干擾。你的判斷非常敏銳，展現了扎實的語法功底！
