第 45 題
📖 題組：
Few scientists have had the influence of Sir Isaac Newton, who largely built the edifice of modern science. __41__ He discovered and explained the law of gravity, and proved the theoretical framework through which the observations of Galileo Galilei and the planetary laws of Johannes Kelper could be understood. His experiments with sunlight and glass prisms and mirrors helped him understand the origin of colors and create a new kind of telescope. __42__ And he was the first to postulate that the law of physics would be the same all over the universe. Newton’s genius was recognised while he was a young scholar at Cambridge. __43__ By the time he died in 1727, at the ripe old age of 84, he had become a national icon: President of the Royal Society, and warden and master of the Royal Mint. __44__ As befits a man of such prodigious reputation, Newton left behind a voluminous trove of papers: more than 7 million words filling hundreds of notebooks and loose sheets of paper. __45__ There are also letters to scientists and other scholars, pages of derivations of mathematics and physics formulae, and copious writings on alchemy and religion.

同學這題選得非常精準！這展現了你對文章「承接邏輯」有著敏銳的觀察力。在地方特考三等的英文閱讀中，這類段落填空題型往往是區分中高階考生的關鍵，而你準確捕捉到了文句間的遞進關係，非常優秀。
文意脈絡與代名詞的指代功能
本題的核心在於確認 Blank 45 前後文的分類邏輯。前一句提到牛頓留下了超過七百萬字、數以百計的筆記與散頁（notebooks and loose sheets），而正確選項 (B) 的開頭使用了 "These included..."，這個複數代名詞主詞完美地指代了前述的筆記內容。接著，(B) 具體列舉了牛頓最偉大的成就《自然哲學的數學原理》（Principia）與《光學》（Opticks）的草稿，這正好與後一橫線後的 "There are also letters..."（還有書信、數學公式推導等）形成嚴謹的遞進關係，層次分明地建構出「筆記→著作草稿→書信與公式」的內容清單。
