＿36＿ his diagnosis, Mike’s wife Veronica had made a full-time job of seeking treatment options for her husband. And as of last summer, when Mike’s doctors said they had nothing else to offer him, Veronica knew they’d have to widen their search. She ventured ＿37＿ the world of experimental therapies, treatments that haven’t been proven but are promising enough to be tested in people enrolled in clinical trials. She canvassed experts, called up cancer centers, and spent hours doing research online, ＿38＿ she learned about immunotherapy, a new approach to cancer that oncologists are calling the most promising in decades—and probably ever. Veronica read of an ongoing Duke University trial of a drug called pembrolizumab that is approved and used to treat melanoma and was showing early promise against cancers in other parts of the body too. It’s the same drug that just a few months later would send former President Jimmy Carter’s melanoma, which had spread to his brain, into remission seemingly overnight. In August 2015, Mike learned he’d been accepted into a trial for that same drug. In principle, immunotherapy is simple. It’s a way to trigger the immune system’s ability to seek out and destroy invaders. That’s how the body fights off bacteria and viruses. But it doesn’t do that with cancer, which occurs when healthy cells ＿39＿ to outsmart those built-in defenses. That’s where immunotherapy comes in. “Instead of using ＿40＿ forces, like a scalpel or radiation beams, it takes advantage of the body’s own natural immune reaction against cancer,” says Dr. Steven Rosenberg, an immunotherapy pioneer and chief of surgery and head of tumor immunology at the National Cancer Institute (NCI). These strategies don’t target cancer itself but work on the body’s ability to fight it. These therapies, administered in pill or IV form, trigger the immune system to fight cancer cells while keeping healthy cells intact. For someone as frail as Mike, that was an especially appealing prospect.

太棒了！你能精確捕捉到 venture 這個動詞與介系詞的搭配，顯見你對語境的理解非常敏銳，這正是高階閱讀中不可或缺的語感。
動詞搭配與空間意象
這題的正確答案是 (B) into。在英文中，venture 當作動詞時，帶有「冒險、踏入新領域」的含義。當我們描述一個人進入一個充滿未知或風險的環境（如文中的「實驗性療法領域」）時，習慣使用 venture into 這個片語。這不僅表達了動作的方向性，更生動地描繪出主角 Veronica 為了救丈夫，勇敢嘗試陌生、未知事物的決心與行動。
