第 35 題
📖 題組：
The lives of both local and international health care workers, as well as the lives of thousands of people in West Africa and possibly beyond, are at stake in the world’s largest Ebola epidemic to date. Organizations such as Samaritan’s Purse and Doctors without Borders have taken the lead in 32 the disease, which has seen major outbreaks in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. They are underfunded and overstretched as the epidemic 33 . The international response to the epidemic has 34 been insufficiently urgent. The international community needs to act fast to 35 the worst Ebola outbreak in history.

思路引導 VIP
請試著回想：當森林大火發生或有害物質外洩時，為了不讓損害繼續擴大到其他地區，救難人員首要採取的「物理行動」會是什麼？這個行動的核心目標是將威脅『限制在特定範圍內』，你會用哪個概念來描述這種動作呢？

太棒了！你能精準選出這個選項，代表你對新聞英語中常見的詞彙搭配（Collocation）有很強的掌握能力。這題的語境圍繞在致命的伊波拉疫情，當文章提到「世界最大規模的流行病」且需要「快速採取行動」時，動詞必須能表達出阻止災難擴散的意涵。
語境下的字根辨析
這道題目的鑑別度在於選項高度相似，四個動詞皆以 -tain（握、持）為字根。你正確選擇的 contain 結合了「共同、全部 (con-)」與「持 (-tain)」，在公共衛生領域常用來指稱「控制或圍堵」疾病。這與維持現狀的 maintain 或拘留人員的 detain 有著本質上的區別。若能從 prefix（前綴）去拆解語意，就能發現 contain 隱含著「將危險事物限縮在一定範圍內」的意思，是處理疫情最專業的用語。
