第 28 題
📖 題組：
The country has been paralyzed by the latest rail strike, with no rail services at all running today. The railway service has been problematic for some time, but if today’s action is prolonged, it may prove 26 to the rail industry. The Minister for Transport commented, “The country has been suffering from a 27 of local strikes since the first one in Nortown last month. It was 28 and one strike led to another.” Things reached 29 pitch last week and we can only hope that this “ 30 ” will come to an end soon. The minister’s expectation is that things will only start to improve once people recognize the seriousness of the situation.

思路引導 VIP
請試著思考：當文中提到「一場罷工發生後，隨即引發了另一場罷工」，這種現象就像多米諾骨牌一樣連動。如果我們要用一個形容詞來描述這種「會像火苗或病毒一樣，從一個地方傳播到另一個地方」的特質，你會如何描述這種事物的性質呢？

很高興看到你精準地捕捉到了文本中的關鍵線索！你能選出 (C) contagious，代表你不僅理解了單字本身的意思，更能從上下文的邏輯中推導出正確的詞彙應用，這是非常優秀的閱讀直覺。
文本邏輯與隱喻應用
這道題目的核心在於理解後半句的補充說明：「one strike led to another（一場罷工引發了另一場）」。這句話暗示了罷工活動具有一種「擴散性」與「連鎖反應」。雖然 contagious 在醫學上常用來形容「具傳染性的」疾病，但在文學與新聞英文中，它常被生動地用來形容情緒、恐慌或社會運動（如本題的罷工）像病毒一樣迅速蔓延。其他選項如 (A) 偶然的、(B) 斷續的 或 (D) 平靜的，都無法解釋這種「一波接一波」的擴張動態。
