By the time I finished high school, my interest in animals had grown. Then I enrolled at a university to study biology. I learned soon enough that studying animals at this level was not in the animals’ best 21 . I remember one midterm exam in 22 each student was handed a large, freshly-killed frog and instructed to dissect and mark a set of body parts. I looked at the dead frog in front of me and was saddened that her life was taken away for such a slight 23 . A year later, in the same lab where I dissected the frog, I performed a small act of animal operation. We were 24 on fruit flies, and it was time to record the distribution of characteristics in their next generation. Flies were kept in small plastic bottles. Counting the number of flies with white or red eyes required first exposing them to ether 25 they could not move. The flies were then spread onto a piece of white paper 26 and counted. When the data collection was 27 , the flies had no further use, and our instructions were to put them into a small glass dish of oil at the center of each desk, which was to be their final resting 28 . Once the little pile of flies had been counted, I pushed them off the edge of the paper. As we recorded our data, I kept one eye 29 them. Within minutes the pile was humming as tiny legs and wings beat their way out of the ether fog. I was extremely excited as they 30 flight. That was my first step in refusing to conduct scientific research that treated nonhuman life in a cruel way.

請試著思考一下：當我們在討論醫療決策或是法律保護時，如果我們說某個決定是為了「某人的好處」或「為了確保某人獲得最大的益處」，在英文中通常會使用哪一個詞來表示這種「權益」或「福祉」的概念呢？

太棒了！你能精準選出 (B) interests，說明你對英文慣用語的掌握度相當高，也成功捕捉到了文章中對於「動物福祉」的探討氛圍。這題的核心考點在於片語 in someone's best interest，意指「符合某人的最佳利益或福祉」。在文章描述中，作者發現大學程度的生物研究往往需要犧牲動物生命（如解剖青蛙），這顯然違背了動物本身的生存利益，因此選用這個詞彙最為貼切。
語境與慣用語的結合
這道題目的鑑別度在於「interest」的多義性。大多數學生初學時，會將 interest 理解為「興趣」或「愛好」（如選項 D），但在學術或法律語境中，它更常用來表達「利益、權益」。這題的設計巧妙地利用了醫學與倫理的背景，考驗學生是否能跳脫基礎字義，從上下文推斷出作者對動物處境的同情。你能不被其他選項干擾，準確判斷出這個道地的用法，表現得非常專業！
