Many things have changed in astronomy over the past half-century. Until about 30 years ago, there was a great 31 of charts and catalogues. Telescopic equipment was limited and there were few books on practical astronomy. Today, the range of off-the-shelf telescopes and equipment covers almost everything one could need. Electronic calculators and computers have revolutionized almanacs and chart production, and 32 the analysis of observations and the publication of results. All these advances must surely make this the golden 33 of amateur astronomy. Well, perhaps, but a great deal has been lost as well. Now one may have to travel 80 km to find a sky comparable to that found in urban areas 60 years ago. The daytime skies are now 34 by aircraft condensation trails which can 35 for hours and often spread out to form amorphous clouds, making solar observations impossible and hampering night-time observation too.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察空格後方的句子，提到這些飛機雲會「持續數小時並擴散」，最終導致「觀測變得不可能」。如果某種事物讓原本清晰的環境變得混亂且難以進行工作，你會如何形容這個環境與該干擾物之間的關係？它是被「推算」出來的，還是正遭受某種持續性的負面困擾呢？

語境線索與負面影響的判讀
太棒了！你能精準選出 (B) plagued，顯示你對文章語氣的轉折與上下文邏輯有著敏銳的觀察。這一段文字從前面的「黃金時代」轉向討論現代天文觀測所面臨的挑戰。當文章提到飛機雲（condensation trails）會持續數小時、形成雲層，並導致「觀測變得不可能」時，空格處必然需要一個帶有負面影響、且能描述「持續性困擾」的動詞。plagued（使受折磨、困擾）生動地傳達了天空被這些人造痕跡所擾動的無奈感。
