英譯中:

To reduce carbon emissions, the aviation industry has adopted several sustainable strategies, like replacing traditional cabin materials with eco-friendly alternatives. Many airports are also turning to renewable energy and smart technologies to lower energy consumption. However, despite these efforts, overall carbon emissions are still expected to rise significantly. Therefore, experts emphasize that developing and promoting electric and hydrogen aircrafts are imperative to achieve the goal of net-zero emissions.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查航空與機場減碳措施相關字彙、句構及段落語意的翻譯能力。翻譯時要先掌握全文脈絡:航空業與機場採取永續措施以減少碳排,但整體碳排仍預期大幅增加,因此專家強調發展並推廣電動及氫能飛機的重要性。

解題方法

先依句子順序辨認主詞、動詞和修飾語,再翻成符合繁體中文習慣的句子:

  1. To reduce carbon emissions 是目的用法,譯為「為了減少碳排放」。
  2. has adopted several sustainable strategies 表示航空業已採取多項永續策略;like 在此引出例子,譯為「例如」。
  3. replacing traditional cabin materials with eco-friendly alternatives 指「以環保替代材料取代傳統客艙材料」;句型為 replace A with B,即「以 B 取代 A」。
  4. are also turning to 意為「也轉而採用」或「也開始運用」;此處譯作「也採用再生能源與智慧科技」較自然。
  5. despite these efforts 表示「儘管做了這些努力」;are still expected to rise significantly 是「仍預期將大幅增加」,不是已經增加。
  6. emphasize that ... are imperative 表示「強調……至關重要」。

中譯英:

近期一連串因行動電源引發的事故,已引發大眾對航空安全的關注。為了降低鋰電池短路或起火的風險,自 2025 年 3 月 1 日起,多家航空公司已禁止旅客在飛行途中使用行動電源。此外,行動電源不可存放於座位上方的行李櫃中,必須放置於個人隨身行李內。

登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題是中譯英,重點在將中文資訊依照英文語序整理,並選用自然、精確的航空安全用語。句子包含三層意思:事故引發大眾關注、航空公司為降低風險而實施禁令,以及行動電源的存放規定。

本題沒有需要援引的法條;作答重點是忠實表達原意,並避免逐字翻譯造成不自然的英文。

解題方法

先辨認各分句的主詞與動作,再安排因果及補充資訊:

  • 「近期一連串……事故」作主詞,可譯為 a series of recent incidents involving power banks。
  • 「已引發大眾對航空安全的關注」可用 have raised public concern about aviation safety。以現在完成式呈現近期事故造成、且延續至今的影響。
  • 「為了降低……風險」使用目的片語 To reduce the risk of ...。
  • 「自 2025 年 3 月 1 日起」使用 As of March 1, 2025,搭配現在完成式描述截至目前已實施的措施。
  • 「不可存放於……行李櫃中」可用 must not be stored in the overhead bins;「必須放置於個人隨身行李內」則用 must be kept in passengers’ personal carry-on baggage。

參考譯文

A series of recent incidents involving power banks has raised public concern about aviation safety. To reduce the risk of lithium batteries short-circuiting or catching fire, several airlines have prohibited passengers from using power banks during flights as of March 1, 2025. In addition, power banks must not be stored in the overhea

第 三 題25 分

英文作文:

On January 15, 2009, US Airways Flight 1549 lost both engines after a bird strike. Air traffic control suggested returning to LaGuardia or going to another airport, but Captain Sullenberger judged these options unsafe. He made the decision to land on the Hudson River, successfully saving all 155 people on board. The National Transportation Safety Board later investigated whether his choice was appropriate. Write a 250-word essay analyzing Captain Sullenberger’s leadership and judgment during this crisis. In your opinion, during emergencies, is it better to follow the established authority or rely on your own judgment? Support your view with specific examples.

登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考英文作文,不是單純重述哈德遜河迫降事件,而是要分析機長薩倫伯格(Captain Sullenberger)在危機中的領導與判斷,並對「緊急狀況下應遵從既定指揮,還是依靠個人判斷」表達立場。文章須兼具事件分析、明確主張與具體例證,並以英文寫作,篇幅約 250 字。

解題方法

採用「事件分析—提出立場—舉例支持—總結」的四段式架構:

  1. 事件分析:交代鳥擊造成雙引擎失效,說明機長面對的時間壓力與風險,並指出其領導表現,如冷靜溝通、迅速評估、承擔責任。
  2. 提出立場:明確回答題目。可主張緊急時應以專業判斷為主,但仍須參考既定程序與他人提供的資訊。
  3. 舉例支持:用題目中的哈德遜河迫降作為例子,再補充一個具體情境,例如醫護人員遇到病情急變時,依急救訓練即時處置。
  4. 總結:說明好的危機領導不是盲從或獨斷,而是在理解程序與現場資訊後,及時作出負責任的決定。

約 250 字可分配為:事件與領導分析約 70 字、個人立場約 50 字、例證約 90 字、結論約 40 字。完稿後確認文章有回答兩個問題,且例子能直接支持立場。

解題技巧

  • 題目動詞 analyzing 要求解釋決策為何展現領導力與判斷力,不能只重述事件經過。
  • 題目要求 In your opinion,必須清楚表態;只說「兩者都重要」而未說明優先原則,論點會顯得模糊。
  • specific examples 至少要有具體情境及其與主張的關聯。
  • 可用 remain calm、assess the risks、take responsibility、follow procedures、use professional judgment 等詞組表達危機處置與領導特質。
  • 文章應維持約 250 字,避免只寫成事件摘要,也避免例子過多、削弱主旨。

參考作答(約 250 字)

On January 15, 2009, Captain Sullenberger faced a crisis that allowed almost no time for deliberation. After birds disabled both engines, air traffic control offered a return to LaGuardia or a diversion to another airport. Sullenberger listened to that advice, assessed the aircraft’s condition and the distance available, and concluded that neither option was safe. His decision to land on the Hudson River showed technical judgment, calm leadership and a willingness to accept responsi

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查單字辨義與句意判斷。句中 customize 是「客製化、依需求調整」;3D 列印的一項優勢,是物件設計容易被客製化或修改。

解題方法

空格位於 can be easily 之後,與 or changed 並列,應填入能表示「調整設計」且語意接近 changed 的過去分詞。句意為:「3D 列印的一項主要優勢,是物件的設計可以輕易地客製化或修改。」

選項分析

  • (A) accustomed:意為「習慣於」。常見用法是 be accustomed to,表示習慣某事;不能表示修改設計。

解題方法

先將句意中的「避免引人注意」轉成語意線索,再比對選項。remain 後面可接形容詞;四個選項中,只有 incognito 符合「不公開身分、匿名」的意思。

第 3 題1 分

The union representative ultimately ____ himself with the company and betrayed the other employees who were still on strike.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「動詞搭配與語意判斷」。句意是:工會代表最後與公司站在同一陣線,背叛了仍在罷工的其他員工。關鍵搭配為 align oneself with someone/something,意為「使自己與……一致、與……站在同一邊」。

解題方法

先看空格後的 himself with the company。反身代名詞 himself 與介系詞 with 提示此處需要能構成「使自己與某方站在一起」的動詞。再以後文 betrayed the other employees(背叛其他員工)確認語意:代表選擇支持公司,與仍在罷工的員工立場相反,因此應填 aligned。

選項分析

  • (A) aligned:align oneself with ... 表示「使自己與……立場一致、支持……」,符合「代表轉而與公司站在同一邊並背叛罷工員工」的語意,正確。

Those executives are ____ about the amount of employee salaries while giving enormous incentive pay for themselves.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考形容詞的語意與搭配。句意是:那些主管在員工薪資的金額上斤斤計較,卻給自己豐厚的獎勵金。關鍵字是 quibble about,意為「對……斤斤計較、為小事爭辯」。

解題方法

先看句型:be ____ about + 名詞,空格需填入能描述主管如何看待員工薪資的形容詞。後半句 while giving enormous incentive pay for themselves 表示主管一方面苛刻看待員工薪資,一方面卻厚待自己,形成強烈對比。quibbling about 正好表達「對員工薪資斤斤計較」。

The rockets fired for two minutes at launch before they were ____ from the shuttle to parachute into the sea.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考辨動詞的語意,並以句子中的情境線索判斷哪個字最合適。題幹描述火箭在發射時點燃一段時間,之後從太空梭分離並降落海中;空格應填入表示「拋棄、拋離」的動詞。

解題方法

關鍵線索是 from the shuttle(從太空梭分離)以及 to parachute into the sea(用降落傘降入海中)。依語意,火箭在完成推進任務後被拋離太空梭,故應選 jettisoned,意為「拋棄、丟棄、拋離」。

were ____ 是被動語態,四個選項皆為過去分詞形式;因此主要以動詞的語意與上下文搭配判斷。

A cereal company first launched rice cakes as a low-carb ____ to bread in the mid-’80s.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「字義辨析」與常見搭配。句意是:某穀物食品公司在 1980 年代中期,最初推出米餅,作為麵包的低碳水化合物替代品。空格需要填入表示「替代品、替代選擇」的名詞,且 an alternative to ... 是常見搭配。

解題方法

先抓句意關鍵:low-carb 表示「低碳水化合物的」,而 to bread 指出米餅是相對於麵包的另一種選擇。因此空格應填能表示「替代品」的名詞。

句型可理解為:

launch A as an alternative to B 將 A 作為 B 的替代品推出

選項分析

  • (A) alternative:意為「替代品、可供選擇的方案」。an alternative to bread 即「麵包的替代品」,符合句意與搭配,正確。

The old culture of this financial institution, including its lack of ____ and the poor deal-making, has unfortunately returned.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考詞彙辨義與語境判斷。句意為:「這家金融機構舊有的文化,包括缺乏__以及糟糕的交易決策,不幸又回來了。」空格應填入能與「糟糕的交易決策」共同描述不良組織文化的詞。

解題方法

先抓句中的負面線索:old culture(舊有文化)與 poor deal-making(糟糕的交易決策)。前者與後者並列,表示金融機構的舊有問題重現。金融機構缺乏資訊公開與透明,容易造成決策不受檢視,因此 lack of transparency(缺乏透明度)最符合語意。

選項分析

  • (A) accuracy(準確性):lack of accuracy 是「缺乏準確性」,通常形容資料、預測或陳述不精確;與此處描述金融機構舊有文化及交易作風的搭配不如「缺乏透明度」貼切。
  • **(B) redundancy(冗餘;

核心觀念

本題考查動詞的語意與搭配。句意是:這套軟體能幫助追求言論自由的人,避開自己國家設置的審查制度。空格需要填入表示「繞過、避開」的動詞。

解題方法

先看句意與受詞 censorship systems(審查制度) 的關係:軟體的作用是讓使用者避開審查制度,因此應選 bypass。句子主詞為 This software,空格中的動詞也可使用原形來表示軟體的功能。

選項分析

  • (A) bypass:繞過、避開。 符合句意;bypass censorship systems 表示「繞過審查制度」,故為正確答案。
  • **(B) foster:促進、培養。

Shakespeare is unique in clothing a thought, original or familiar, ____ or trivial, in words that have rooted themselves in the innermost consciousness of millions.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考字彙辨義與語意搭配。句子列舉思想的不同特質:original or familiar(新穎或熟悉),接著以 ____ or trivial(深刻或瑣碎)形成另一組對比。因此空格應填入與 trivial(瑣碎的、無關緊要的)相反的詞。

解題方法

先看句型:a thought, original or familiar, ____ or trivial。作者是在說莎士比亞能用深植於千百萬人內心意識的文字,表達各種思想;這些思想不論是新穎或熟悉、深刻或瑣碎,都能寫得動人。

profound 意為「深刻的、深遠的」,與 trivial 語意相對,放入句中最合適。

She has done a great ____ to the cause of advocating peace by suggesting that violence is justifiable.

核心觀念

本題考固定搭配 do a great disservice to,意思是「對……造成很大的損害、幫倒忙」。句中提倡和平的理念,卻主張暴力是合理的,這種說法會傷害和平倡議,因此空格應填 disservice。

解題方法

先看句意:她「藉由主張暴力正當」來支持和平倡議,前後意思帶有反效果。再辨認慣用搭配 do a disservice to someone/something,表示「對某人或某事有害、造成損害」。因此 a great disservice to the cause 即「對這項事業造成很大的傷害」。

Buying health insurance is of vital importance because it can provide medical ____ after the happening of accidents.

核心觀念

本題考「語意判斷」與「字義搭配」。句意是:購買健康保險很重要,因為事故發生後,保險可以提供醫療方面的「保障/承保範圍」。符合語意的字是 coverage,常用於保險語境,指保險保障或承保範圍。

解題方法

先看空格前後的搭配:medical ____ 表示「醫療方面的__」,而句子又提到健康保險與事故發生後的支援,因此空格應填與保險保障相關的名詞。medical coverage 即「醫療保障/醫療保險給付範圍」,語意通順。

選項分析

  • (A) apprehension:意為「憂慮、恐懼」或「理解」。medical apprehension 不表示保險提供的醫療保障,與句意不合。

解題方法

先看目的子句 to ____ an epidemic:接種疫苗的目的是避免流行病發生或蔓延,因此空格應選表示「避免、防止」的動詞。avert 可直接接不好的事件或結果,常見搭配包括 avert an epidemic(防止流行病)與 avert a crisis(避免危機)。

解題方法

先看語意:兩位登山者在救援隊抵達前,得在山上度過不舒服的一夜;轉折重點是,雖然處境不舒服,生命卻沒有危險。因此空格應填入能與 in 搭配、表示「危險」的名詞 jeopardy。

句首的 at no time 是否定語,置於句首時會引發倒裝:were their lives 相當於一般語序的 their lives were。

解題方法

後半句 making it impossible for cars to pass through 說明倒下的樹造成道路無法通行,因此空格應填入能表示「阻礙通行」的動詞。obstruct 有「阻擋、妨礙」之意,且可直接接受詞 the road。

選項分析

  • (A) purged:purge 表示「清除、清洗」,例如清除不良影響;不表示樹木阻塞道路。

解題方法

先看 who 引導的關係子句:

who illegally copy and sell software for personal gain 非法複製並販售軟體以謀取私利

這段描述直接指出空格所指人物的行為。再將選項代入「software ____」:能表達非法複製、販售軟體者的字是 pirates。主詞 who 指複數人物,空格用複數名詞 pirates,與動詞 copy and sell 相符。

解題方法

先看句型:It is + 副詞 + 形容詞 + for + 人 + to V,此處 absolutely 修飾形容詞,for me to have unhindered access to the Internet 則說明「對我而言什麼事情如何」。依上下文,順暢的意思是「取得網路暢通使用權對我而言絕對必要」。

本題考形容詞的字義與語境判斷。句意是:「由於兩幅畫之間沒有 ____ 的差異,人們無法分辨哪一幅是假的。」空格需要表示「能夠辨認出的」,才能和後半句「無法分辨」形成合理因果。

解題方法

先看句意線索 people can’t tell which one is fake(人們無法分辨哪一幅是假的),可知兩幅畫的差異不明顯、難以辨認。選項中,discernible 意為「可辨認的、可察覺的」,因此 no discernible differences 就是「沒有可辨認出的差異」,符合句意。

選項分析

  • (A) discernible:正確。 意為「可辨認的、可察覺的」。no discernible differences 表示「沒有明顯可辨認的差異」,所以人們難以分辨真偽。
  • **(B) ambitious:錯誤。

先看受詞 the new plan,再搭配後文說明計畫目的的 to address… and to compel…。語意上,城市將正式啟動一項處理精神疾病與危機治療的新計畫,因此選表示「開始實施、正式推行」的 inaugurate。

解題方法

先看空格前的 having the 與空格後的 of their customers,空格應填入一個能表示「來自顧客、且有助於改善服務」的名詞。再用句意判斷:超市想提升服務,因此會蒐集顧客的意見與評價,feedback 正符合語意。

選項分析

  • (A) supply:供應、供給。the supply of their customers 意為「顧客的供給」,與超市蒐集意見、改善服務的語意不合。

解題方法

先看後半句的目的:提振信心、改善經濟。再判斷哪個選項能自然搭配 bill(法案),且符合刺激經濟的政策目的。stimulus bill 指「刺激法案/經濟振興法案」,與句意相符。

選項分析

  • (A) surplus:意為「盈餘、剩餘」。surplus bill 不是此處表示振興經濟的常見搭配;盈餘也無法直接表達改善衰退情勢的政策目的。

解題方法

先判斷兩個子句的關係:後半句不是反駁或總結前半句,而是補充一件讓情況更糟的事。因此,應選表示「除此之外,又有……」「更糟的是」的連接語。

句子可譯為:「我今天上班過得很糟,而且更糟的是,我下班要開車時,車子發不動了。」

選項分析

  • (A) on top of that:正確。 表示「除此之外」「更糟的是」,用來補充另一件事,且常帶有負面加劇的語氣,符合前後文。

空格需要填入表示「承諾、投入」的名詞,與 to welcoming refugees 搭配,表達居民是否仍願意接納難民。

解題方法

先看句意,再確認搭配:

  • commitment to + 名詞/動名詞:對……的承諾、投入
  • welcoming refugees:歡迎、接納難民

因此,commitment to welcoming refugees 意為「接納難民的承諾/投入」,符合整句語意。

選項分析

  • (A) bias:偏見、偏向。通常指對某人或事物的不公平好惡;bias to welcoming refugees 不符合此處要表達的「接納意願或承諾」。
  • (B) commitment:承諾、投入。

解題方法

先看句型:主詞 Eating certain foods(吃某些食物)後接情態助動詞 can,空格應填原形動詞;受詞是 allergic reactions。依前後語意,食物會「引發」過敏反應,因此選表示「觸發、引發」的 trigger。

選項分析

  • (A) access:意為「取得、存取、進入」,通常用於取得資訊、服務或場所,例如 access information,不能表示引發過敏反應。

解題方法

先讀前半句的原因:火山持續噴發,居民面臨危險;再判斷政府可能採取的措施。政府會「疏散居民」,因此應選 evacuate。此字可用於撤離危險地區的人員或場所中的人。

選項分析

  • (A) evacuate:撤離、疏散。 符合火山爆發時政府疏散附近居民的語境,為正確答案。

The singer ____ the high notes effortlessly, impressing the audience with her amazing vocal range.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考英文動詞與受詞的搭配。句意是:「這位歌手毫不費力地唱出了高音,令觀眾讚嘆她驚人的音域。」關鍵搭配是 hit the high notes,意為「唱到高音、唱出高音」。

解題方法

先看空格後的受詞 the high notes(高音),再找能自然搭配且符合「輕鬆唱出」語意的動詞。hit 除了「打、擊中」,也可表示「唱到某個音符」,因此 hit the high notes 符合句意。

選項分析

  • (A) belted:belt out a song / a note 可表示「放聲高唱、用力唱出」,但 belted the high notes 不如 **hit the high notes

The reporter irritated the speaker for asking too many questions ____ to the meeting.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考形容詞的語意與搭配。空格位於名詞片語 questions ____ to the meeting 中,用來說明這些問題和會議的關聯性。irrelevant to 是固定搭配,意思是「與……無關的」。

解題方法

先看空格後的介系詞 to,再判斷哪個選項能自然構成形容詞片語。句意是:記者問了太多「與會議無關的問題」,惹惱了發言者。因此應填 irrelevant。

選項分析

  • (A) irrelevant:正確。 irrelevant to 表示「與……無關」,questions irrelevant to the meeting 即「與會議無關的問題」,符合句意。
  • **(B) digressing:錯誤。

解題方法

句子的主幹是:

The view of this bridge is the stunning ____ to a leisurely walk.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考辨近形動詞的語意,以及動詞與受詞的搭配。句意為:「委員會將舉辦一系列活動,來紀念這位詩人的百歲誕辰。」表示紀念某人或某個重要事件,應使用 commemorate。

解題方法

先看空格後的受詞 the 100th birthday of the poet(詩人的百歲誕辰)。舉辦活動的目的,是紀念這個重要日子,因此選擇表示「紀念、慶祝」的 commemorate。句中 a series of events(一系列活動)也與紀念活動的語境相符。

選項分析

  • (A) collaborate:合作,常用搭配為 collaborate with someone(與某人合作)或 collaborate on something(合作進行某事)。不能直接表示「紀念生日」。

本題考形容詞的字義與搭配。空格後的 government 指「政府」,後句提到改善基礎建設、促進整個區域的經濟成長,語意上需要表示地方行政區層級的「省級、地方的」形容詞。

解題方法

先看句意:某個政府正致力於改善基礎建設,並促進「該區域」的經濟成長。provincial government 是常見搭配,意為「省級政府」或「地方政府」,與句中的 across the region 相呼應。

選項分析

  • (A) universal:意為「普遍的、全體的、通用的」,如 universal access(普遍使用權)。universal government 不符合本句描述的地方行政層級。

解題方法

關鍵線索是 after tense talks and two decades of planning,意為「經過緊張談判與長達二十年的規劃之後」。這表示協議歷經多年籌備,得來不易,因此空格應表示「期待已久的」。

本題考 動詞語意與上下文搭配。空格所在句描述條約將設立海洋保護區,讓「傷害海洋生物的捕撈及其他活動」受到限制或禁止。因此,空格應填入表示「限制」的字。

解題方法

先看句型:

fishing and other activities that harm marine life are ____ or prohibited 傷害海洋生物的捕撈及其他活動會被 ____ 或禁止

「受到限制」與「被禁止」語意相近,都是管理活動的管制方式,且能與 or prohibited 自然並列。符合這段海洋保育脈絡的答案是 restricted,意為「受限制的」。

選項分析

  • (A) promoted:錯誤。 意為「受到促進、提倡」。促進傷害海洋生物的活動,與句中的保護目的相反。
  • (B) restricted:正確。 意為「受到限制的」。

【題組共用題幹】

A sedentary lifestyle eventually takes a toll on health but snapping out of prolonged inactivity can be daunting. Now, however, there may be a simple way to ease into more activity. A recent study suggests that short bursts of vigorous activity every day—climbing stairs, carrying a heavy load of groceries, or stepping up the pace of housework—can provide substantial health benefits.

The University of Sydney exercise scientist Emmanuel Stamatakis, who led the research, says “majority of the people, but also many health professionals still think of physical activity as something that you do during your free time, and you need to go somewhere to do it.” “In recent years, there’s an acknowledgement and increased emphasis on the idea that all activity counts,” he says. But the outcomes are intensity-dependent. His team found that engaging in three one-minute bursts of intense physical activity every day can lower a person’s risk of death by up to 40 percent. Such short but vigorous periods of activity similarly reduced the chances of dying from cancer or cardiovascular disease.

Stamatakis and his colleagues were keen to understand if daily life activities done somewhat vigorously in short bouts could also provide health benefits to a sedentary or less active lifestyle. To study this, his team used data from Fitbit-like devices worn by nearly 25,000 adults who identified as non-exercisers. Over the course of seven days, they used machine learning tools to determine whether a person was either sedentary, standing, walking, or engaging in high-intensity activities like running. The researchers also categorized any movement into light, moderate, or high intensity. The team found that people who engaged in at least four one-to-two-minute, high intensity physical activity bursts every day had a nearly 40 percent less risk of dying from cancer and a roughly 49 percent lower chance of dying from a cardiovascular disease.

Edward Coyle, an exercise physiologist at the University of Texas, has been exploring how four-second bursts of rigorous physical activity can offset harmful effects of sitting for prolonged periods. He conducted a small study in which young adults pedaled a stationary exercise bike as fast as they could five times every hour for four-second sprints over an eight-hour study period. His team noted that these tiny bursts of activity improved fat metabolism. He said he was surprised to find how effective these four-second spurts were and they were equally effective to doing 30 minutes of continuous exercise.

According to the passage, who is Emmanuel Stamatakis?

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查根據文章中的明確資訊判斷人物身分。Emmanuel Stamatakis 在文中被稱為「exercise scientist」(運動科學家),並帶領團隊進行研究,因此符合「研究人員」(researcher)的描述。

解題方法

回到第二段第一句,文中指出:「The University of Sydney exercise scientist Emmanuel Stamatakis, who led the research」。關鍵線索是 exercise scientist(運動科學家)及 led the research(領導研究)。兩者都表明他是從事研究的人,故選 (B) A researcher。

Which of the following is similar in meaning to the phrase “snapping out of” in the passage?

核心觀念

本題考片語 snap out of 的語意。它指「擺脫某種狀態、停止陷於某種狀態」,常用於從消極、低落或不健康的狀態中振作或脫離。

解題方法

題幹提到 prolonged inactivity(長期缺乏活動),並說要「snap out of」這種狀態。依上下文,作者要表達的是:長期不活動對健康有害,但要停止維持這種不活動狀態並開始增加活動,並不容易。

因此,與 snap out of 意思最接近的是 stop being in,即「不再處於某種狀態」。

選項分析

  • (A) Getting angry suddenly.「突然生氣」 snap 單獨使用有時可表示突然發怒,但 snap out of 是完整片語,並非「突然生氣」之意。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考英文閱讀理解中的主旨判斷。主旨要涵蓋全文反覆強調的核心訊息,不能只取某一段的細節,也不能加入文章未支持的說法。

文章主要討論:短時間、但強度較高的日常活動,例如快步爬樓梯或短暫衝刺,能為較少運動的人帶來健康效益。

解題方法

先看首段:文章提出久坐不利健康,並引出研究發現——每天做幾段短暫的高強度活動,可能帶來顯著健康效益。

再看後文如何支持這個主旨:雪梨大學團隊的研究指出,短時間高強度活動與較低的癌症及心血管疾病死亡風險相關;德州大學的研究則發現,極短的激烈踩車活動有助於脂肪代謝,效果可媲美較長時間的連續運動。兩個研究案例都圍繞「短暫而強烈的活動能改善健康」這個重點。

因此,應選能涵蓋這些研究發現的選項。

選項分析

(A) Regular physical activity is one of the most important things for us to improve health. 「規律身體活動是改善健康最重要的事情之一。」文章確實談到運動與健康,但重點更具體:短時間、高強度的活動也能帶來效益。此選項把主旨泛化為一般規律運動,未凸顯文章核心,故不選。

核心觀念

本題考查閱讀理解與細節辨識。作答時要鎖定題目指定的研究對象與研究內容,避免把文章其他段落的運動方式或時間誤套到 Edward Coyle 的研究。

解題方法

定位第三段後半:Coyle 的研究讓年輕成人在固定式健身腳踏車上,以最快速度踩踏,每小時做五次、每次四秒的衝刺,連續進行八小時。文章接著說,這些短暫活動改善了脂肪代謝,效果與連續運動三十分鐘相當。

因此,研究中的每次衝刺時間是四秒,對應選項 (C)。

選項分析

  • (A) Young adults need to do outdoor cycling. 錯誤。文章說參與者踩的是 a stationary exercise bike,也就是固定式健身腳踏車,並非戶外騎車。

  • (B) The study requires the participants to finish 8 exercises. 錯誤。
