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.

思路引導 VIP
請試著思考一下：當執法部門成功突襲並關閉了一個大型的非法市場時，民眾對於那個原本存在的「犯罪問題」，在心理上會傾向認為它「變得更嚴重了」還是「已經被解決了」？接著再觀察後一段的開頭用到了『但是（But）』，這代表前一段所描述的狀態與後來發生的事實有什麼樣的對比呢？

同學太棒了！你能精準選出 stamped out，代表你對文章脈絡與片語動詞的掌握非常敏銳。這句話是在描述 2013 年當局取締知名毒品交易平台「絲路」（Silk Road）時，大眾一度認為暗網銷售問題已經被「徹底消滅」或「撲滅」了。stamped out 這個動詞片語形象化地描述了「用腳踩滅火苗」的動作，延伸到法律或社會問題上，即是指藉由強力手段來根除或終止某項負面事物的發展。
脈絡推論與片語辨析
要解出這題，關鍵在於觀察空格後方的 "But since then"（但自那之後）這道強烈的轉折語。這暗示了空格處必須填入一個「問題看似已解決」的詞彙，才能與後文「有無數後繼者湧現」的失控現況形成對比。其他選項如 (B) kicked in（開始產生效果）、(C) made up（捏造或組成）或 (D) aspired to（渴望、追求），在語意上都無法與「當局採取法律行動（took down）」產生合理的邏輯關聯。
