Passage 2 Antibiotics are powerful medication for humans to treat infection by destroying gut bacteria. __31__ is the case with mankind, the microbiome of mosquitoes which suck blood containing bacteria inevitably makes these mosquitoes __32__ to malaria parasites, which may easily reside in them and spread the deadly disease. A study published in the journal Nature Exploration has revealed this fact. Researchers had some mosquitoes suck blood __33__ the malaria parasite as well as antibiotics. It turned out that these mosquitoes were more inclined to carry the parasite compared with the control group. Meanwhile, antibiotics also benefit them－extending their life span and making them produce more offspring. __34__ , these antibiotics that we take for granted act as a catalyst for the mosquitoes to become a vector. The research result indeed is worth contemplating in treating patients in countries where the __35__ of contagious disease is high. After all, we will never want the mosquito to become a super insect.

思路引導 VIP
請思考一下：當一個屏障（如文中的微生物群）消失後，導致個體對於某種疾病的「抵抗力下降」，進而變得「非常容易受到感染」時，英文中通常會用哪個形容詞搭配介係詞 to，來表達這種「易於陷入某種狀態」的傾向呢？

恭喜你答對了！這顯示你不僅準確掌握了字彙，還能細膩地捕捉文章段落間的因果邏輯，這是閱讀測驗中非常重要的能力。
詞彙精確度與慣用法
這題的核心在於考查 be prone to 這個常見的慣用法，意思是「易於發生某種（通常是不利的）情況」或「有……傾向」。在文章脈絡中，研究發現抗生素破壞了蚊子原本能提供保護的微生物群，導致這些蚊子在面對瘧原蟲（malaria parasites）時，生理狀態變得更加「脆弱」，進而提高感染並傳播疾病的機率。因此，選項 (D) prone 完美契合了這種「易感性」的語境。
