In contrast, the peacock is not 22 seen as lucky.
答案：(C) universally
語意「孔雀並非『普遍』被視為幸運的」，universally（普遍地）符合，呼應後文說明不同地方對孔雀看法不同（印度中國覺得幸運，但西方覺得不吉利）；officially（正式地）、mutually（相互地）、eventually（最終）都不合。
universal 你背的是「宇宙的、全世界的」，所以看到 universally 會先想到地理範圍，覺得用在這一句語氣太大。其實 universally 的核心不在「範圍多廣」，而在「無一例外、所有情況都如此」，中文譯成「普遍地」。這個理解上的偏差，是答對率只有 57% 的原因。
關鍵在 not 和 universally 的先後順序。not universally 是部分否定，意思是「並非在所有情況下都……」，而不是「完全不……」。這個判斷會直接決定整段怎麼讀：空格後面兩句先說印度、中國、日本覺得孔雀吉利，再用 However 說世界其他地方輕視孔雀 —— 有的地方覺得吉利、有的不覺得，這正是「不普遍」。如果把它讀成「完全不被視為吉祥」，接下來印度那幾句就會自相矛盾。部分否定這一組請整組記起來，是學測長年的考點：not all（並非全部）、not always（並非總是）、not necessarily（未必）、not everyone（不是每個人都）。not universally 也屬於同一類。
officially（正式地、官方地）—— 吉不吉利是民間信仰，沒有官方認定這回事。mutually（相互地）要有雙方互相的動作，例 mutually beneficial（互惠的）。eventually（最終、終於）是時間副詞，例 He eventually agreed.（他最後同意了。）與「普不普遍」無關。這三個副詞的字尾都是 -ly、長度也差不多，掃過去很像，但意思領域完全不同 —— 副詞題不能靠形狀，要靠字義代入。
universally（普遍地、無一例外地）、a universal truth（普世的真理）、not necessarily（未必、不一定）、not always（並非總是）、be seen as（被視為）、mutually beneficial（互惠互利的）、eventually（最終、終於）。
Much like the dove and robin, the bluebird is considered a very lucky sign in most cultures, particularly when seen in the spring. 21 , a woodpecker, when seen near the home, is regarded as a good sign. In contrast, the peacock is not 22 seen as lucky. In places like India, the peacock is considered lucky because the great many "eyes" on its feathers are said to alert it to 23 evil. Peacocks are also highly valued in China and Japan, where they are kept as symbols by the ruling families to 24 their status and wealth.
However, the peacock receives only scorn from the rest of the world. The feathers of peacocks are considered the most 25 part of the bird because the eye-shaped markings on them are associated with "evil eyes." To bring the evil eye into the home is thus believed to invite trouble and sorrow.
