III.Cloze: Choose the most appropriate word or phrase for each blank in the following passages. 20% (A) Rotten apples outsell the fresh ones in Kabul, Afghanistan's capital, but such only begins to describe the poverty here, for even bad apples—sold 21 a penny a pound—are luxuries in a city so overcome by tragedy and want. Each day, hundreds of thousands 22 on nothing more than weak tea and handouts of bread. This woebegone nation is enduring its 21st 23 year of war, unable to escape the malign shadow that geopolitics has cast on its history. Since it 24 as a force five years ago, the Taliban militia has conquered 80 to 90 percent of the country. While they have brought a 25 of security to the territory they control, including Kabul, the better part of their attention is focused on what they know best—fighting in the battlefields, not the governing of a country.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察空格前後的文字，作者提到「21st」以及「year of war」，這是在描述戰爭持續的時間長度。如果你想強調這段時間「中間完全沒有中斷、一個接一個地發生」，在日常生活中，你會用哪個描述空間方向的形容詞來轉借，以表達這種「連成一線、沒有轉折」的連續感呢？

太棒了！你能精準選出這個單字，代表你對常見單字的「進階用法」有很敏銳的觀察力。在這一句中，文章描述阿富汗經歷了連續 21 年的戰爭，這裡的 straight 並非指我們熟知的「筆直」，而是用來形容時間或次數的**「連續的、不間斷的」**（consecutive）。在新聞或運動賽事中，我們常聽到的「three straight wins」（三連勝）也是同樣的用法。
