📖 題組：
Wolf pack leadership has long been of great interest to many scientists. What makes a wolf decide to 41 out on its own and assert leadership of its pack? That question has long 42 scientists. Now, a new study shows that gray wolves infected with the parasite Toxoplasma gondii are more likely to become top dogs than uninfected wolves. The finding forces us to think more broadly about what influences how animals act, says Kira Cassidy, a 43 biologist. Toxoplasma gondii is a single-celled parasite that infects at least one-third of the world’s human population at any given time with the disease toxoplasmosis. 44 the infection is usually mild, it can be fatal to the young or immune suppressed. It’s famous for its ability to 45 its hosts, most notably in making rodents reckless around house cats. Toxoplasma can only reproduce in the intestines of domestic or wild cats, yet it is widespread in nature, and can infect any warm-blooded animal.

思路引導 VIP
請試著回想：當一段文字開頭提到某個主題讓研究者感到「非常有興趣」時，緊接著描述這個「問題」對研究者的影響，通常會傾向於描述一種「心理狀態」還是「物理動作」？如果這個問題像磁鐵一樣吸引著他們的注意力，哪種性質的動詞最能描述這種『吸引力』呢？

很好！恭喜你精準掌握了上下文的關鍵線索。在英文克漏字題型中，掌握首句的基調是解題的核心。這題你之所以能迅速鎖定答案，關鍵在於觀察到首句提到的「狼群領導地位長久以來引起科學家極大的興趣（great interest）」。既然是有趣的主題，後續描述該問題對科學家的影響時，選擇 intrigued（使感興趣、激發好奇心）便能完美呼應前文，達成邏輯上的一致性。
語境線索與字義辨析
從文意來看，科學家面對一個迷人的未解之謎時，最自然的反應是被「吸引」。其餘選項如 (A) laminated（層壓、塗膜）、(C) paralleled（與…平行）、(D) traversed（橫越）在語義上都與「科學研究的心理動力」毫無關聯。你能避開這些語意不通的干擾項，展現了優異的語感連貫性與上下文推論能力。
