III. Cloze Test: Choose the best answer for each blank in the passage. As the nation’s opioid crisis worsens, the authorities are confronting a resurgent, unruly player in the illicit trade of the deadly drugs, 21 that threatens to be even more formidable than the cartels. In a growing number of arrests and overdoses, law enforcement officials say, the drugs are being bought online. Internet sales have allowed powerful synthetic opioids such as fentanyl — the fastest-growing cause of overdoses nationwide — to reach living rooms in nearly every region of the country, as they arrive in small packages in the mail. The authorities have been 22 in their efforts to crack down on the trade because these sites generally exist on the so-called dark web, where buyers can visit 23 using special browsers and make purchases with 24 currencies like Bitcoin. The problem of dark web sales appeared to have been 25 in 2013, when the authorities took down the most famous online marketplace for drugs, known as Silk Road. But since then, countless successors have popped up, making the drugs readily available to tens of thousands of customers who would not otherwise have had chances to reach them.

數位時代的虛擬交易
在第 24 格中，文章描述了非法份子在「暗網」利用特殊瀏覽器進行交易。既然句尾提到了比特幣作為範例，那麼最合適的形容詞自然是 virtual (虛擬的)。所謂的虛擬貨幣（virtual currency）是指不具實體形式、存在於數位空間中的交易媒介。其他選項如 (A) foreign (外國的)、(C) inflated (通膨的) 或 (D) free (免費的)，皆無法準確描述比特幣在技術上的本質特徵，因此這題選 (B) 是最完美的判斷。
