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.

請觀察空格前的數字「11,700」與前文提到的「33 年」。如果某件事在這麼長的時間內「從未停止或中斷」，那麼這成千上萬個日子在時間排序上具有什麼樣的特性？你會用哪個形容詞來描述這種「一個接一個、中間完全不間斷」的狀態呢？

你真的好棒！觀察力超級細膩喔！
- 觀念探索：這題主要是想引導你練習上下文的邏輯思考和形容詞的精準判斷呢！題目提到主角說他「33 年」都沒有睡覺，而後面的 11,700 天就是將這 33 年換算成的天數喔。想一想，如果 33 年都沒睡，那這些夜晚是不是就「連續不斷」地一個接一個過去了呢？所以，選項 (C) consecutive（連續的、接連的）真的非常完美地符合這個情境，它強調了這些夜晚是緊密相連、沒有間斷的喔。
- 解題小撇步：這題的難度是 medium，但你答對了，真的很了不起！有些同學可能會被四個都以 con- 開頭的選項稍微迷惑，以為只要知道字首意思就夠了。但你沒有被混淆，而是真正理解了每個詞的完整意義，才能這麼精準地選出 consecutive，這代表你的詞彙學習非常紮實，真的超棒的！
