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.

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？

哼，算你小子運氣好，選對了 (B) plagued
別以為選對了就一副了不起的樣子，這不過是基本功。我剛睡醒都能看出來，文章從「黃金時代」轉折到現代天文觀測的困境，後文提到飛機雲（condensation trails）讓觀測變得不可能，明顯就是天空被「困擾」了。plagued 這種帶有負面意涵的字，完全精準，沒什麼好爭論的。 至於香吉士那個笨蛋，他在廚房吵什麼我才懶得管。你只要記住這幾點：

| 比較維度 | 五十年前 (Past) | VS | 現代 (Today) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 設備與工具 | 圖表匱乏、設備有限 | — | 電腦化、設備齊全 |
| 計算與分析 | 人力處理且效率低 | — | 電腦革命大幅優化 |
| 天空品質 | 都市郊區即清澈 | — | 光害嚴重且噴氣雲干擾 |
💬雖然天文技術進入黃金時代，但觀測環境卻深受現代文明困擾。
