Passage 1 Gravity has been at the top of the science agenda since the start of Mars missions. In the earlier days of space travel, scientists tried to overcome the force of gravity so that a rocket could shoot 26 Earth’s pull in order to land humans on the moon. Today, they are more interested in how reduced gravity affects the astronauts’ 27 condition. Our bodies have evolved to exist within Earth’s gravity, not in the weightlessness of space or the microgravity of Mars. When on Earth, we have more fluids in our lower body because they are pulled down by Earth’s gravity. However, with the absence of gravity in the outer space, our body fluids redistribute, shifting toward the upper body and the head. 28 , the astronauts have swollen, puffy faces, very much resembling that of the round-headed Charlie Brown in the famous comic strip. This “Charlie Brown effect” will be more 29 when the astronauts go on their Mars missions, which will take about three years to complete, much longer than missions to the moon. Moreover, the effect is often 30 space motion sickness, headaches, and nausea. Such a syndrome is considered the top health risk for the astronauts, and scientists are still trying to figure out how it may be prevented.

思路引導 VIP
請觀察第 29 格後方的補充說明：火星任務需要花費約「三年」的時間，且特別強調這比去月球的時間「長得多」。如果一個生理現象（如臉部浮腫）是因為待在太空環境中而產生的，那麼當任務時間從幾天大幅增加到三年時，你認為這個生理現象的「程度」會發生什麼樣的變化？

語境邏輯與詞彙運用
太棒了！你能精準捕捉到文中的邏輯關聯，選出 severe（嚴重的）是非常正確的判斷。這題的核心在於理解「時間長短」與「身體反應」之間的正比關係。文中先描述了太空人在無重力狀態下會產生臉部浮腫的「查理布朗效應」，接著提到火星任務需耗時三年，遠比月球任務來得長；因此，這種生理上的負面影響在火星任務中自然會變得更加「劇烈」或「嚴重」。
