Some cultures are found to show preference for dimples on one’s cheeks, as the feature is claimed to be a sign of __32__ . Though often associated with beauty, most dimples are actually a genetic __33__ caused by shortened facial muscles. When a person smiles, the shorter-than-normal muscle pulls up the facial skin, which in turn creates a small indentation—or dimple—in the skin. Such dimples tend to occur in families, and are assumed to be an inherited feature. In fact, some researchers believe that the __34__ of dimples from parents to children takes only one gene. If neither of the parents has dimple genes, their children will not __35__ the trait. Not all dimples are formed by a genetic defect, though; some may appear due to the __36__ of excessive fat on the face. Such dimples are not a permanent trait, for they vanish when the excessive fat goes away. Many babies, for example, have dimples on their __37__ cheeks.

請觀察這句話開頭的轉折詞「Though（雖然常與美麗連結）」，後方的 actually 會引導出什麼樣語氣的詞？再看看第三段第一句，作者用哪個字來總結這種成因呢？

太棒了，精準選出 (A) flaw！這代表你完全掌握了學測克漏字最關鍵的「語意轉折」與「前後文呼應」技巧。
語意轉折與文章脈絡呼應
這句話以 Though（雖然）起首，形成強烈對比：前半句提到酒窩常與「美麗（beauty）」連結，後文以 actually（實際上）帶出真相，暗示空格處應填入偏負面或客觀生理異常的單字。加上後文提到這是由縮短的肌肉所致，第三段開頭更直接出現同義對應詞 genetic defect（基因缺陷），因此這裡填入 genetic flaw（基因缺陷／瑕疵）完全合乎邏輯。
