Scientists now believe that nature, __9__, may offer important resources for human health.

These chemical compounds, __10__, can interfere with normal biological processes in highly specific ways. Unlike many synthetic drugs, venoms have been refined through millions of years of evolution, allowing them to interact with the body at a highly precise level.

Scientists have discovered that some toxins, particularly those produced by cone snails, are capable of targeting nerve cells with remarkable precision. This unique property has attracted the attention of researchers in the field of medicine. If these compounds __11__ properly studied and modified, they__11__ into effective treatments for severe pain and other neurological conditions, offering new hope for patients who did not respond well to traditional therapies.

One well-known example is a drug derived from cone snail venom. This medicine, __12__, has been used in clinical settings to help patients manage chronic pain. For instance, the drug ziconotide is reported to be up to 1,000 times more effective than morphine. As can be seen, venom-derived compounds are extremely powerful; __13__.

Language acquisition is often assumed to follow a uniform developmental trajectory. __15__, notable variation exists. Some children, referred to as late talkers, begin producing words significantly later than their peers. This phenomenon raises questions about the underlying causes of such delays. The differences,__16__, do not necessarily indicate a uniform developmental problem.

According to research, these variations are not solely a matter of vocabulary size but also of vocabulary composition. Late bloomers, who initially appear delayed, often catch up rapidly, __17__. This distinction suggests that early language delay does not necessarily predict long-term outcomes in a straightforward manner.

Researchers have also observed that the types of words children acquire play a crucial role. Shape-based nouns, which are strongly linked to other lexical items, facilitate further word learning; multidimensional nouns, on the other hand, __18__. This may explain why some children struggle to expand their vocabulary over time.

Beyond vocabulary development, communication is not limited to spoken language. Gestures, __19__,allow children to express meaning even before they develop verbal skills. Interestingly, late bloomers tend to use gestures more frequently than late talkers, suggesting that gesture use may compensate for limited verbal ability.__20__, many children can improve their language skills significantly. Hence, researchers emphasize the importance of timely intervention rather than adopting a “wait and see” approach.

15.

(A) As long as many parents accept this assumption

(B) Much as this assumption holds true for many children

(D) Such an assumption is widely accepted by many researchers

However, their __23(E)__ with Easter is a comparatively later development, particularly through the Ukrainian tradition of pysanky. Within this intricate art form, the egg—especially the luminous yellow yolk—was imbued with solar symbolism, representing vitality and

rebirth, and was believed to confer protection against poor __24(BD)__. When Christianity spread across Eastern Europe during the Middle Ages, this symbolic meaning was reinterpreted, and eggs came to embody Christ’s resurrection.

Beyond religious and historical traditions, eggs have found a place in __25(A)__ popular culture as well. The term “Easter egg” has come to denote hidden messages, subtle allusions, or intertextual references deliberately __26(BE)__ in films, video games, and musical works. This convention took shape among early video-game developers, who incorporated disguised elements both as a means of engaging players and as a subtle assertion of creative authorship, leaving behind their own unique __27(AB)__. Today, such hidden details can be found in Marvel movies and even in Taylor Swift’s music videos, where fans eagerly search for clues. Eggs have also __28(BC)__ linguistic discourse. The idiom “to have egg on one’s face,”meaning to feel __29(C)__, stems from the vaudeville era, when performers were sometimes pelted with rotten eggs after poor performances. From ancient rituals to modern media and everyday __30(AD)__, eggs continue to carry symbolic meaning across time, revealing their cultural significance.

Amid escalating concerns about climate change, architects are increasingly compelled to explore materials that are not only sustainable but also conceptually innovative. __31(C) __ This unconventional approach challenges entrenched assumptions about architecture, where stability and predictability are often prioritized over experimentation.

Lava possesses exceptional durability and thermal resistance, rendering it particularly suitable for structures exposed to extreme environmental conditions. __32(B)__ Moreover, it can be sourced from volcanic regions where it is naturally abundant, thereby reducing dependence on industrial production processes that contribute to carbon emissions. By recontextualizing a substance traditionally associated with destruction, architects are redefining its functional role and assigning it new symbolic significance within sustainable design.

__33(A)__ The material is inherently difficult to manipulate, necessitating sophisticated technologies for extraction, shaping, and transportation. In addition, its unpredictable physical properties pose challenges in standardizing its use across different construction contexts. Safety concerns must also be meticulously addressed, particularly in regions characterized by ongoing volcanic activity, where environmental instability remains a constant risk.

Despite these limitations, the concept of lava-based architecture has garnered substantial international attention. __34(D)__ Their efforts suggest a broader shift toward adaptive design strategies that respond directly to local ecological conditions. Although lava is unlikely to supplant conventional materials entirely ,its experimental use expands the scope of sustainable architecture and may ultimately influence the future trajectory of the field.

(A) Nevertheless, the integration of lava into architectural practice is not without considerable obstacles.

(B) Unlike many conventional materials, it can withstand intense heat without significant structural degradation.

(D) Researchers and designers are actively investigating methods to optimize its application while mitigating environmental impact.

【解析】

31. 答案：(C)

「一個在威尼斯雙年展提出的驚人提議，涉及將熔岩作為建築材料。」

承上：第一段開頭提到建築師正迫切探索「永續且概念創新」的材料。

啟下：後文提到「這種非常規的方法（This unconventional approach）挑戰了傳統對建築穩定性的假設」。

邏輯： (C) 選項具體點出了「熔岩」這個新材料，並對應了前文的「概念創新」。

• 關鍵字詞： unconventional approach（非常規方法）、conceptual innovative（概念創新）。

32. 答案：(B)

「與許多傳統材料不同，它可以承受高溫而不會產生顯著的結構降解。」

承上：前一句提到熔岩具有「卓越的耐用性（durability）」與「耐熱性（thermal resistance）」。

啟下：後文使用 Moreover（此外）補充其來源永續的優點。

邏輯： (B) 選項具體說明了「耐熱性」的表現（withstand intense heat），與前句形成直接補充。

關鍵字詞： thermal resistance（耐熱性）、withstand intense heat（承受高溫）。

33. 答案：(A)

「儘管如此，將熔岩整合進建築實踐並非沒有重大障礙。」

段落轉折：前一段都在讚揚熔岩的優點，但第三段開始列舉缺點：難以操作（difficult to manipulate）、技術需求高、物理性質不可預測（unpredictable physical properties）。

邏輯： (A) 選項作為段落首句，起到「承上啟下」的轉折作用，引出後續的挑戰。

Nevertheless（儘管如此/轉折語）、obstacles（障礙）、difficult to manipulate（難以操作）。

34. 答案：(D)

「研究人員與設計師正積極研究優化其應用、同時減輕環境影響的方法。」

啟下：後一句提到「Their efforts（他們的努力）顯示了設計策略的轉變」。

邏輯：這裡的代名詞 “Their” 必須指代前面出現的人。選項 (D) 中的 Researchers and designers 正好是 “Their” 的先行詞。

• 關鍵字詞： Their efforts（對應 Researchers and designers）、optimize（優化）。
