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.

思路引導 VIP
請試著想像一下：當實驗中的果蠅從麻醉中清醒，開始拍動翅膀並從紙面上進入「飛行狀態」時，這是一個「啟動」或「採取」某種行動的過程。在英文中，若要形容一個生物「開始進入某種運動狀態」（如起飛、逃跑），我們通常會搭配哪一個表示「抓取、採取」的萬用動詞呢？

太棒了！你能精準地選出 (B)，代表你對英文慣用語的動態語感掌握得相當敏銳。這題的關鍵在於動詞與名詞 flight（飛行、逃跑）的搭配，這在閱讀理解中是一個非常經典的測驗點。
慣用語與生命力：Take Flight
在英文中，我們使用 take flight（過去式為 took flight）來形容鳥類或昆蟲「起飛」或「進入飛行狀態」的瞬間。故事中，原本被乙醚麻醉的小果蠅們逐漸清醒，從「乙醚霧」中掙脫並拍動翅膀重新飛向空中，這個充滿生命力的畫面正需要 took flight 來點睛，完美捕捉了牠們從靜止轉為自由飛翔的轉折。
