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
如果我們想描述一個地區的感冒「非常普遍、隨處可見」，或者想表達某種社會現象的「盛行程度」時，你會聯想到哪個英文字母開頭的詞，專門用來指稱這種「普及、廣泛存在」的狀態呢？

太棒了！你能準確選出 prevalence，代表你對學術英語及公共衛生領域的詞彙掌握得相當扎實。這題的關鍵在於判斷在描述傳染病（contagious disease）的社會現狀時，哪一個詞彙最能貼切地形容疾病「盛行」或「普遍程度」的高低。
公共衛生語境下的精準用字
在此段落中，作者探討抗生素如何間接導致瘧疾蔓延，進而提醒在某些地區進行醫療行為時需格外謹慎。prevalence 意指「流行程度」或「盛行率」，是描述疾病在特定地區、特定時間內廣泛程度的專業術語。相較之下，(A) transmittance 雖然看似與傳播有關，但多用於物理學的「透射比」或「透光率」；(C) maintenance 指「維修」或「維持」，而 (D) population 指「人口」，皆不符合此處欲表達疾病普遍性的語意。
