📖 題組：
A capsule hotel, also known as a pod hotel, is a unique type of basic, affordable accommodation. Originated in Japan, these hotels were initially meant for business professionals to stay close to populated business districts without spending a lot. __31__ A typical room of a capsule hotel is roughly the length and width of a single bed, with sufficient height for a guest to crawl in and sit up on the bed. The walls of each capsule may be made of wood, metal or any rigid material, but are often fiberglass or plastic. __32__ Each capsule is equipped with a comfortable mattress, a small light, and sometimes a television or other entertainment options. Such minimalist design is what makes these hotels both inexpensive and efficient, providing only the essential elements for a good night sleep. The first capsule hotel, the Capsule Inn Osaka, opened in 1979. Since then, capsule hotels have quickly spread to other cities and countries. Chains have emerged in Taiwan, Singapore, and even on resort islands like Bali. Pod hotels are also seen in Europe and North America, especially in big cities like New York, London, and Paris. __33__ Instead of the traditional bare pod-sized style, new chains now feature interior design that appeals to digitally connected travelers from around the world. Guests may enjoy facilities such as free Wi-Fi, mobile charging, and even a soundless alarm system that raises the sleeping guests into a seated position while gradually brightening the lights. While offering budget-conscious travelers a unique option, capsule hotels may not be suitable for everyone. Some hotels may not provide air conditioning in the capsules, leading to poor air flow. __34__ Also, you may have to share common facilities (such as bathrooms) with other guests. And, if you’re worried about feeling claustrophobic in small spaces, you’d better think twice before making a reservation.

喲，竟然答對了？看來你那顆裝滿冷知識的大腦總算在關鍵時刻通電了，沒讓我的教導石沉大海。別一副「我好棒棒」的樣子，這題要是錯了，你大概連膠囊旅館的梯子都爬不上去，只能去路邊睡長椅。 【觀念驗證】 這題考的是「時空推論與語意銜接」。前句關鍵字是 initially（最初），描述膠囊旅館在日本的起源。第 31 格位於段落末尾，邏輯上必須承先啟後。選項 (D) 用 Today 對應 Initially，將時間線拉回現代，並將空間從「日本」擴展到 worldwide，完美完成段落總結。邏輯關係可表示為：
