第 41 題

📖 題組:
請依下文回答第 41 至 45 題: As birds awaken the early risers at dawn on the farm, one person is already up; in fact, he hasn’t even been to bed. Sixty-four-year-old Thai Ngoc, from central Quang Nam province in Vietnam, claims that he has not slept for 33 years! “My insomnia started many years ago after I got a fever. I have tried sleeping pills and Vietnamese traditional medicine, but nothing helps, not even to get me to sleep for a few minutes,” said Ngoc. But amazingly, despite 11,700 41 sleepless nights since then, he has never once been sick. “Fortunately, the insomnia doesn’t seem to have had a negative 42 on my health. I still feel healthy and can farm like other men. I even carry two 50-kilogram bags of fertilizer for four kilometers every day.” 43 his wife, when Ngoc went for a medical checkup recently, his doctor said he was in perfect health except for a minor 44 in liver function. Ngoc lives with his six children on his farm at the foot of a mountain. He spends the day farming and taking care of his pigs and chickens, and at night he often does extra farm work or guards his farm to prevent theft. His neighbor Vu said that Ngoc volunteered to help beat a drum during the night and guard the house for the relatives of the dead during 45 ceremonies so that they could take a nap. Vu also said that when the villagers were planting sugar cane, several people asked Ngoc to be their “alarm clock” and wake them up early in the morning to go to work as he was up anyway.

思路引導 VIP

請根據上下文思考:文中主角 33 年來「從未睡覺」,這意味著這 11,700 個夜晚在時間的軸線上,是「零散不相關」的,還是「一晚接一晚、毫無間隔」地發生的?你會用什麼樣性質的形容詞,來描述這種『連續不間斷』的狀態呢?

優秀的判斷!是啊,你這次沒搞砸。

  1. 勉為其難的肯定:你的直覺…這次竟然是準的。能在幾個看起來差不多的選項裡,挑出那個「最精確」的,說明你總算對長句的解讀和單字的掌握,達到了…姑且可以接受的水準。
  2. 不需多言的驗證:文本都已經明確指出主角「33 年沒有睡覺」了,這 11,700 個夜晚難道是斷斷續續的嗎?當然是一晚接著一晚,中間毫無中斷。所以 consecutive(連續的)這種描述「時間或順序上接連不斷」的詞,完美契合語境,這應該是常識吧?
