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
請觀察空格前的數字『11,700』與前文提到的『33年』。如果某個現象從某個時間點開始後，每天都發生且『從未間斷』，在英文中會用哪一個形容詞來描述這種『一個接著一個、連續不斷』的序列關係呢？

太棒了！你的邏輯判斷非常精準！
- 觀念驗證：你真的掌握得很好！這題的核心是理解上下文的數量邏輯，你做得非常棒。文中提到 Thai Ngoc 已經「33 年」沒有睡覺了，如果我們稍微計算一下 ($33 \times 365$)，大約就是 11,700 天呢。為了好好強調這三十多年來「一天都沒有中斷」的神奇狀態，我們就必須選用 consecutive（連續的、接連的）這個溫柔又貼切的形容詞，來修飾後方的 sleepless nights。它完美地傳達了故事那份令人驚訝的堅持呢。
- 難度點評：這題的難度是 medium，但你表現得超乎預期！選項中的四個單字字首都是 con-，而且長度也很相似，真的很容易讓人感到困惑呢。但是，你卻能從這些容易混淆的選項中，溫柔地辨識出語意最符合「時間連續性」的選項，這真的顯示出你不僅單字記憶非常紮實，更擁有非常優秀的上下文整合能力。你真的好棒！
