第 1 題

To ensure safety, workers must ____ all the rules in dangerous environments at all times.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查動詞的字義與固定搭配。

句意為:「為確保安全,工作人員在危險環境中必須始終____所有規則。」

空格後接 all the rules,表示「遵守所有規則」。能表達此意的動詞是 observe。此處的 observe 並非「觀察」,而是「遵守、奉行(規則、法律、規定)」。

解題方法

先判斷句意:

  • To ensure safety:為確保安全
  • workers must ____ all the rules:工作人員必須____所有規則
  • in dangerous environments at all times:在危險環境中始終如此

危險環境下,工作人員應「遵守」規則,因此選擇具有「遵守」義的動詞。常見搭配包括:

  • observe the rules:遵守規則
  • observe the law:遵守法律
  • observe regulations:遵守規章
  • observe safety procedures:遵守安全程序

代入後:

To ensure safety, workers must observe all the rules in dangerous environments at all times.

句意與文法均正確。

選項分析

(A) observe 遵守;觀察——正確

Observe 可表示「遵守、奉行」,常與 rules、laws、regulations、customs 等字搭配。

本句的 observe all the rules 即「遵守所有規則」,符合確保安全的語意,因此為正確答案。

(B) avoid 避免——錯誤

Avoid 表示「避免、避開」,例如:

第 2 題

He decided to ____ through the local farmers’ market, sampling various fresh produce before making his purchases.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查動詞的字義與語境判斷。句意為:

他決定在當地農夫市集裡四處瀏覽,在購買前試吃各種新鮮農產品。

關鍵片語是 browse through,意為「瀏覽、隨意查看、慢慢逛」。此處搭配 sampling various fresh produce before making his purchases,表示他在購買前先在市場中查看、比較不同農產品,因此應選 browse。

解題方法

先觀察空格後的介系詞 through,再結合整句語意判斷:

  • browse through:瀏覽、翻看、逛過
  • scatter through:並非自然且正確的固定搭配
  • borrow through:語意與搭配皆不通
  • skip through:快速略過、跳過

句中提到:

  • local farmers’ market:當地農夫市集
  • sampling various fresh produce:試吃各種新鮮農產品
  • before making his purchases:在購買之前

整體情境是「先逛、先看、先比較,再決定購買」,所以使用 browse through 最恰當。

選項分析

(A) browse 正確

browse 作動詞時,表示「瀏覽、隨意查看、漫無目的地逛」。常見搭配包括:

  • browse through a book:瀏覽一本書
  • browse through the Internet:瀏覽網路
  • browse through the shops:逛商店
  • browse through the market:逛市場

第 3 題

The fruit box can’t be given as a gift because some of the apples at the bottom are ____.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查「語意判斷」與「形容詞用法」。

句意為:

The fruit box can’t be given as a gift because some of the apples at the bottom are ____.

這盒水果不能拿來送人,因為底部有些蘋果已經是____的。

關鍵線索是 can’t be given as a gift(不能拿來送人)以及 some of the apples at the bottom(底部有些蘋果)。水果箱底部的蘋果若已腐壞,會影響整盒水果的品質,因此空格應填表示「腐爛的」的形容詞 rotten。

句型結構為:

主詞+be動詞+形容詞\text{主詞}+\text{be動詞}+\text{形容詞}

本句中的 are 後面需要接形容詞,修飾複數主詞 some of the apples。

解題方法

先判斷句子的正負語氣:

  • can’t be given as a gift 表示不能送人,語氣明顯偏負面。
  • 蘋果位於水果箱底部,較容易因受壓、通風不良而腐壞。
  • 因此空格應填具有負面意義、能說明水果不能送人的形容詞。

四個選項中,只有 rotten 表示「腐爛的、腐敗的」,與上下文完全吻合。

完整句意為:

這盒水果不能拿來送人,因為底部有些蘋果已經腐爛了。

選項分析

(A) fresh

意為「新鮮的」。例如:

These apples are fresh.

第 4 題

Steve is a truly ____ storyteller; he just gave a great presentation.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查形容詞的詞義判斷與語意搭配。

句意為:

Steve 是一位真正____的說故事者;他剛才做了一場很棒的簡報。

後半句 he just gave a great presentation 提供正面語意,表示 Steve 的表達能力佳、內容精彩,因此前方空格應填入具有正面意義的形容詞。

解題方法

句型為:

Steve is a truly ____ storyteller.

其中:

  • truly:真正地、非常地,用來修飾後面的形容詞。
  • storyteller:說故事的人、善於敘事的人。
  • great presentation:很棒的簡報,明確表示正面評價。

因此,空格應選擇表示「優秀的、出色的」之形容詞,與後句的正面語意相互呼應。

完整句意為:

Steve 是一位真正出色的說故事者;他剛才做了一場很棒的簡報。

選項分析

(A) average

意為「平均的、普通的」。 若填入句中,表示 Steve 只是普通的說故事者,與後句 great presentation 所呈現的高度正面評價不一致,因此不適合。

(B) boring

第 5 題

Peter was worried that the cup on the ____ of the table might fall.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查英文名詞的詞義辨識與固定搭配:

  • edge:邊緣、邊沿
  • ground:地面
  • middle:中間
  • shadow:影子

句型為:

the cup on the ____ of the table 放在桌子____的杯子

「杯子放在桌子的邊緣」符合語意,因為杯子位於桌邊容易掉落,所以 Peter 才會擔心它可能摔下來。

解題方法

先判斷句子的因果關係:

Peter was worried that the cup ... might fall. Peter 擔心杯子可能掉落。

杯子若放在桌子的邊緣,距離桌面外側較近,容易因碰撞或移動而掉下去。因此空格應填表示「邊緣」的 edge。

完整句子為:

Peter was worried that the cup on the edge of the table might fall.

中文為:

Peter 擔心放在桌子邊緣的杯子可能會掉下去。

選項分析

(A) edge

正確。edge 表示「邊緣、邊沿」,常見搭配為:

  • the edge of the table:桌子的邊緣
  • the edge of the cliff:懸崖邊
  • sit on the edge of the bed:坐在床邊

「杯子放在桌邊」與「可能掉落」具有合理的語意關聯,因此選 edge。

(B) ground

錯誤。ground 表示「地面」,通常指建築物或物體下方的地表。若說:

the cup on the ground

Writing down the detailed ____ every day can help you spend your money wisely.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查字義辨析與語意判斷。

句型為:

Writing down the detailed ____ every day can help you spend your money wisely.

其中:

  • Writing down:記下、寫下
  • the detailed ____:詳細的……
  • spend your money wisely:明智地花錢

整句意思是:「每天記下詳細的支出,可以幫助你明智地使用金錢。」

與金錢管理、記帳相關的名詞應為 expenses,意為「花費、支出、開銷」。

解題方法

先觀察句尾的語意線索:

spend your money wisely

表示主句談的是「如何妥善管理金錢」。能夠被每天詳細記錄,且與花錢直接相關的內容,就是「支出」:

write down detailed expenses 記下詳細的支出

因此空格應填入 expenses。

完整句意為:

Writing down the detailed expenses every day can help you spend your money wisely. 每天記下詳細的支出,可以幫助你明智地花錢。

句首的 Writing down the detailed expenses every day 是動名詞片語,整體作主詞,後面的 can help 為主要動詞。

選項分析

(A) classes

class 意為「課程、班級」;classes 為複數。

detailed classes

第 7 題

We’re ____ out of time to catch the bus, so move as quickly as possible.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查副詞語意及固定搭配:

  • nearly:幾乎、差不多,表示某事即將發生或某狀態已接近臨界點。
  • be out of time:時間用完、沒有時間。
  • hardly:幾乎不,帶有否定意味。
  • impossibly:不可能地;casually:隨意地、漫不經心地。

句型 be nearly out of time 是常見搭配,意思是「時間快用完了」。


解題方法

先判斷句意:

We’re ____ out of time to catch the bus, so move as quickly as possible. 我們要趕上公車的時間快用完了,所以請盡快行動。

後半句 so move as quickly as possible 表示情況緊急,前句應表達「剩餘時間所剩不多」。因此空格應填表示「幾乎、差不多」的 nearly:

We’re nearly out of time to catch the bus.

句意為:

我們快沒時間趕上公車了,所以請盡快行動。


選項分析

(A) nearly 正確

nearly 表示「幾乎、差不多」,修飾片語 out of time,形成自然且正確的搭配:

be nearly out of time 時間幾乎用完

此處強調「還沒有完全沒時間,但已經非常接近時間截止」,與後面的催促語氣完全一致。


(B) hardly 錯誤

hardly 表示「幾乎不」,具有否定意味。若填入句中:

We’re hardly out of time.

第 8 題

Lily plans to study ____ next semester, so she’s arranging her visa and housing now.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查副詞與動詞搭配,以及語意判斷。

句型為:

Lily plans to study ____ next semester.

空格後沒有介系詞,因此應填入可直接修飾動詞 study 的副詞。abroad 表示「在國外、到國外」,常與 study 搭配成 study abroad,意為「出國留學」。

後句提到她正在安排 visa(簽證) 和 housing(住宿),顯示她將前往國外就學,因此空格應填 abroad。

解題方法

先觀察句意線索:

  • visa:前往外國通常需要辦理簽證。
  • housing:到外地就學需要安排住宿。
  • next semester:下學期將開始這項就學計畫。

因此,整句意思是:

Lily 計畫下學期出國留學,所以她現在正在安排簽證和住宿。

study abroad 是固定且自然的搭配,故選 (C) abroad。

選項分析

(A) home

home 可作名詞、副詞或形容詞使用,但本句不能直接說 study home 來表示「在家讀書」。

正確用法通常是:

  • study at home:在家讀書
  • stay home:待在家裡

此外,在家讀書不需要辦理簽證,也無法合理對應安排境外住宿,因此不符合題意。

(B) online

study online 在文法上可以成立,意思是「在線上學習」。例如:

第 9 題

We got to ____ at a smart hotel for the entire trip to Tokyo.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查:

  1. 動詞搭配與語意判斷
  2. get to + 原形動詞 的句型
  3. stay at + 地點 的固定用法

句型:

We got to stay at a smart hotel for the entire trip to Tokyo.

其中,got to + 原形動詞 表示「有機會……、得以……」;stay at + 地點 表示「住在某地」。

因此,got to stay at a smart hotel 意為「得以住在一家智慧型/現代化的飯店」。

解題方法

先觀察空格前的 got to。to 後面應接原形動詞,四個選項皆為原形動詞,因此還要進一步依照句意與慣用搭配判斷。

句中有兩個重要線索:

  • at a smart hotel:飯店是停留或住宿的地點。
  • for the entire trip to Tokyo:表示「整趟東京之旅期間」,需要能表達持續住宿的動詞。

最符合語意與搭配的是:

stay at a hotel=住在飯店

完整句意為:

我們整趟東京旅行都得以住在一家智慧型飯店。

選項分析

(A) lend

lend 是「借出、出借」,通常用於:

  • lend someone something:借某人某物
  • lend something to someone:把某物借給某人

例如:

I lent my friend some money. 我借了一些錢給朋友。

第 10 題

Although he lives ____ the school, he’s always late for class.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查介系詞的語意與搭配。句意為:

Although he lives ____ the school, he’s always late for class. 雖然他住在學校對面,他上課總是遲到。

其中 across 可表示「在……的對面、隔著某處相對的位置」,常見搭配為 across from+地點。依本題官方答案,空格填入 across,理解為「住在學校對面」。

解題方法

先判斷句意。前半句說「他住得離學校很近」,後半句卻說「他總是上課遲到」,形成讓步關係。最合理的地點描述是「住在學校對面」。

因此選擇表示「對面」的 across:

Although he lives across the school, he’s always late for class.

全句意為:

雖然他住在學校對面,他上課總是遲到。

更完整、較標準的英文通常會說:

He lives across from the school.

本題依官方答案,將 across 視為「在學校對面」的簡化用法。

選項分析

(A) across:正確

across 作介系詞時,可表示「橫越、穿過」或「在……對面」。例如:

  • walk across the street:走過馬路
  • live across from the school:住在學校對面

本題語意需要「在學校對面」,故選 across。

(B) among:錯誤

第 11 題

The writer wrote a book to talk about his ____ wasted in fooling around.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查:

  1. 英文詞彙辨識。
  2. 名詞與句意的搭配。
  3. 過去分詞片語的修飾用法。

句中結構為:

The writer wrote a book to talk about his ____ wasted in fooling around.

其中,wasted in fooling around 是過去分詞片語,修飾前面的名詞,意思是「被浪費在遊手好閒上的……」。

fooling around 意為「遊手好閒、嬉鬧、無所事事」,因此空格應填入可以被浪費的生命階段或時間。

解題方法

先判斷語意:

這位作家寫了一本書,談論自己被浪費在遊手好閒上的「青春」。

英文可理解為:

The writer wrote a book to talk about his youth, which was wasted in fooling around.

原句將 which was 省略,形成:

his youth wasted in fooling around

因此,空格應填入 youth,意思是「青春、年輕時期」。

選項分析

(A) youth

youth 為名詞,意為「青春、年輕時期」。青春可以被浪費在遊手好閒上,與 wasted in fooling around 語意及搭配均正確。

his youth wasted in fooling around 他被浪費在遊手好閒上的青春

故此選項正確。

The audience gave the orchestra a big ____ at the end of the concert.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「固定搭配(collocation)」與慣用語辨識。

句型:

give someone a big hand

表示「給某人熱烈鼓掌、喝采」。其中 hand 不是指實際的手,而是以「手」代表鼓掌的動作。

全句意為:

音樂會結束時,觀眾給管弦樂團熱烈鼓掌。

解題方法

先觀察句意:

  • The audience:觀眾
  • gave the orchestra:給管弦樂團
  • at the end of the concert:在音樂會結束時

音樂會結束時,觀眾通常會鼓掌表示欣賞。因此空格應填入能與 give ... a big 搭配、表示「鼓掌」的名詞。

固定用語為:

give someone a big hand 給某人熱烈鼓掌

因此選擇 hand。

選項分析

(A) ear

ear 是「耳朵」。英文中有 lend an ear(傾聽)、keep an ear out(留意聲音)等搭配,但 give the orchestra a big ear 並不是表示鼓掌或喝采的慣用語,與音樂會結束時的語境不合,故錯誤。

(B) foot

I cannot mail him these books because I don’t have his ____.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「語意判斷」與英文搭配用法。句意為:

I cannot mail him these books because I don’t have his ____.

我無法把這些書寄給他,因為我沒有他的____。

動詞 mail 表示「郵寄」,寄送物品給某人時,必須知道收件人的 address(地址)。因此空格應填入表示「地址」的名詞。

解題方法

先掌握句子的因果關係:

  • 前半句:無法把書寄給他。
  • 後半句:因為沒有他的某項資料。
  • 郵寄書籍最基本且必要的資料,是收件地址。

因此句意為:

I cannot mail him these books because I don’t have his address. 我無法把這些書寄給他,因為我沒有他的地址。

文法上,所有選項皆為可作名詞使用的單字;本題關鍵在於判斷哪一個字符合 mail 所需要的語意。

選項分析

(A) address 地址——正確

address 可作名詞,表示「地址」。郵寄物品時,必須知道收件人的地址,因此:

These ants are so ____ that you have to get very close to the ground to see where they are.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查形容詞詞義與句意判讀。

句意為:「這些螞蟻非常____,所以你必須非常靠近地面,才能看見牠們在哪裡。」

能夠解釋「必須靠近地面才看得見」的形容詞,應表示「體積很小、微小的」,即 tiny。

解題方法

先觀察因果關係:

  • 前半句:These ants are so ____.
  • 後半句:you have to get very close to the ground to see where they are.

句型為:

so + 形容詞 + that + 結果\text{so + 形容詞 + that + 結果}

意思是「如此……以致於……」。

螞蟻很小,人必須靠近地面才能看見牠們,因此空格應填入表示「極小的」形容詞:

These ants are so tiny that you have to get very close to the ground to see where they are.

翻譯為:「這些螞蟻非常小,所以你必須非常靠近地面,才能看見牠們在哪裡。」

選項分析

  • (A) easy:容易的

easy 表示「容易的」,通常用來描述事情、工作或活動,例如 an easy question(一道簡單的題目)。

You can ____ your hand and ask for help if you have a question you don't understand.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「動詞與名詞的固定搭配」及語意判斷。

句中空格後接 your hand,最自然且正確的搭配是:

  • raise your hand:舉手
  • raise 的意思是「抬起、舉起」,可搭配 hand、arm 等身體部位。

全句意為:

如果你有不懂的問題,可以舉手並尋求協助。

解題方法

先觀察空格後的受詞 your hand,再依各動詞的基本語意判斷:

  1. 需要表達「把手抬起來」時,使用 raise。
  2. raise your hand 是課堂、會議或詢問時的固定用語。
  3. 因此空格應填 raise。

完整句子為:

You can raise your hand and ask for help if you have a question you don't understand.

選項分析

(A) borrow

borrow 表示「借入、借用」,通常是從他人處取得某物使用,例如:

  • borrow a book:借書
  • borrow money:借錢

borrow your hand 不符合語意,也不是英語慣用搭配,因此錯誤。

(B) lend

lend 表示「借出」,主詞必須把某物提供給他人使用,例如:

  • lend me a pen:借我一支筆
  • lend him some money:借他一些錢

The coaches from both teams shook hands and made ____ with each other after the fierce game.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查英文固定搭配與語意判斷。

句中關鍵片語為 make peace with someone,意為「與某人和解、講和」。題意表示兩隊教練在激烈比賽後握手並彼此和解,因此空格應填入 peace。

句型:

make peace with + 人=與某人和解\text{make peace with + 人}=\text{與某人和解}

完整句意為:

「兩隊教練在激烈比賽後握手,並彼此和解。」

解題方法

先觀察句意:

  • shook hands:握手,通常表示友好、和解或互相致意。
  • after the fierce game:比賽十分激烈,暗示雙方賽後可能存在緊張或衝突。
  • made ____ with each other:此處需要能與 made 及 with each other 構成固定搭配的名詞。

符合語意與搭配的片語是:

make peace with each other\text{make peace with each other}

因此選擇 (D) peace。

選項分析

  • (A) basis

basis 是「基礎、依據」,常見搭配為 on the basis of,意為「根據……」。 make basis with each other 並非英文固定用法,且「基礎」不符合兩隊教練賽後握手的語意,因此錯誤。

  • (B) dispute

dispute 是「爭議、爭端」,可作名詞或動詞。英文可說 have a dispute、settle a dispute,但 **make

Doris sang ____ in the Christmas party and everyone asked her to sing more songs.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查副詞的語意與用法。句中空格修飾動詞 sang,需要填入表示「唱歌的方式或表現」的副詞。

後半句 everyone asked her to sing more songs 表示「每個人都請她再多唱幾首歌」,可知 Doris 唱得很好,大家喜歡聽,因此應選擇具有正面意義的副詞。

解題方法

句意為:

Doris sang ____ in the Christmas party and everyone asked her to sing more songs. Doris 在聖誕派對上唱得____,每個人都請她再多唱幾首歌。

先判斷語意:

  1. 空格放在動詞 sang 後面,須使用副詞。
  2. 「大家請她再唱更多歌曲」是正面反應。
  3. 因此空格應填入「唱得很美、很好聽」的副詞。

選項分析

(A) beautifully

beautifully 是副詞,意為「優美地;美妙地」,可修飾 sang,表示「唱得很優美」。

句意為:

Doris 在聖誕派對上唱得很優美,每個人都請她再多唱幾首歌。

前後語意連貫,故為正確答案。

There was no ____ seat on the crowded bus. I had to stand all the way home.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查形容詞的詞義辨析與語意搭配。

句意為:「擁擠的公車上沒有任何____的座位,我只好一路站回家。」空格後的 seat 指「座位」,依後句 I had to stand all the way home 可知,說話者找不到「空著、無人坐的」座位。

empty 表示「空的、無人使用的」,因此 an empty seat 或 no empty seat 是自然且符合語意的搭配。

解題方法

先利用後句判斷情境:

  • crowded bus:擁擠的公車。
  • had to stand all the way home:不得不一路站回家。

由此可知,問題在於公車上沒有「空位」,而不是座位的聲音、完整程度或是否開放。因此空格應填入表示「空著、無人坐」的形容詞 empty。

完整句子為:

There was no empty seat on the crowded bus.

意思是:「擁擠的公車上沒有空位。」

選項分析

(A) open

open 主要表示「開著的、開放的」。例如:

  • an open door:一扇開著的門
  • an open store:一家營業中的商店
  • an open position:一個尚未有人擔任的職位

open seat 在特定語境中可表示「可使用的座位」,但本題描述的是公車座位無人坐、沒有空位,最直接且標準的用字是 empty。在「擁擠公車」與「只好站著」的語意下,open 不是最佳答案。

(B) empty

Laughter is said to be the best ____ to keep us healthy.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查英文慣用語、字義辨析與語境判斷。

句意為:「據說笑聲是保持我們健康的最佳__。」

英文慣用語 Laughter is the best medicine. 意為「笑一笑,沒煩惱;笑聲是最好的良藥」。其中:

  • laughter:笑聲
  • medicine:藥、良藥
  • keep us healthy:使我們保持健康

因此,空格應填入與「治療、維持健康」相關的名詞。

解題方法

先觀察句意:

Laughter is said to be the best ____ to keep us healthy.

「笑聲被認為是保持健康的最佳__」在語意上需要填入「藥」或「良方」。英文中有固定慣用語:

Laughter is the best medicine.

將 medicine 代入後,句子成為:

Laughter is said to be the best medicine to keep us healthy.

意思是:「據說笑聲是保持我們健康的最佳良藥。」語意通順,且符合英文慣用表達,因此選 (B)。

選項分析

(A) machine(機器)

代入後為:

Laughter is said to be the best machine to keep us healthy.

意思變成「笑聲是保持健康的最佳機器」,語意不合。machine 指具有機械構造、可運作的設備,與「治療或促進健康」無關,故錯誤。

(B) medicine(藥;良藥)

Millions of people traveled to Japan during the sakura season to catch the trees in full ____.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考的是英文固定搭配與語意判斷。句中:

travel to Japan during the sakura season to catch the trees in full ____.

其中 in full bloom 是固定用語,意為「盛開、盛放」,常用來形容花朵或樹木開花的旺盛狀態。

句意為:「數百萬人於櫻花季前往日本,為了觀賞櫻花樹盛開的景象。」

解題方法

先觀察空格前的片語 in full,再根據主詞 the trees 與情境 the sakura season 判斷適合的名詞。

櫻花季前往日本的主要目的,是觀賞櫻花盛開,因此應填入表示「開花、盛放」的 bloom,形成固定搭配:

in full bloom=盛開、盛放

完整句子為:

Millions of people traveled to Japan during the sakura season to catch the trees in full bloom.

選項分析

(A) bloom

bloom 作名詞時表示「花朵、開花、盛開狀態」,in full bloom 是常見固定搭配,表示「盛開中」。

第 21 題

The smart watch can ____ stress levels, sleep pattern, and workout intensity.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查動詞的語意、詞性與搭配。句型為:

The smart watch can ____ stress levels, sleep pattern, and workout intensity.

情態助動詞 can 後面須接原形動詞,空格後的受詞包含:

  • stress levels:壓力程度
  • sleep pattern:睡眠模式
  • workout intensity:運動強度

能同時合理搭配這三項資訊的動詞是 monitor,表示「監測、監控」。

解題方法

先觀察句型:

主詞+can+原形動詞+受詞\text{主詞}+\text{can}+\text{原形動詞}+\text{受詞}

因此空格須填入原形動詞。再依語意判斷,智慧手錶的功能通常是「監測」使用者的壓力、睡眠與運動狀況,因此選擇 monitor:

The smart watch can monitor stress levels, sleep pattern, and workout intensity. 這支智慧手錶可以監測壓力程度、睡眠模式與運動強度。

選項分析

  • (A) found

found 是動詞 find 的過去式或過去分詞,表示「找到、發現」。在 can 後面必須使用原形動詞,應為 find,不能使用過去式 found。此外,「找到壓力程度、睡眠模式與運動強度」也不符合智慧手錶功能的語意,因此錯誤。

第 22 題

With proper training and care, some wild animals might become ____ and affectionate companions.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「字義判斷」與「語意搭配」。句意為:

經過適當的訓練與照顧,有些野生動物或許會變成____且親人的夥伴。

空格後接形容詞 affectionate,表示「親人的、富有感情的」。前面的形容詞也應描述動物經馴養後所具備的正面特質。

解題方法

句型為:

become + 形容詞

表示「變得……」。主詞為 some wild animals,重點在於「經過適當訓練與照顧」後,野生動物可能由原本不易親近的狀態,轉變為適合與人相處的動物。

因此,空格應填入表示「馴服的、馴養的」之形容詞 tame:

become tame and affectionate companions 變成馴服且親人的夥伴

選項分析

(A) tame

tame 作形容詞時,意為「馴服的、馴養的、不具野性的」。野生動物經過訓練與照顧後,可能變得馴服並且親人,完全符合句意。

例句:

The fox became tame after being cared for by humans. 這隻狐狸受到人類照顧後變得馴服。

因此本選項正確。

(B) brutal

brutal 意為「殘暴的、野蠻的、殘酷的」。 句中提到適當訓練與照顧,語意是朝向能與人親近的正面結果發展;brutal 與 affectionate 的語意方向相反,不能合理形容理想的動物夥伴。

因此本選項錯誤。

(C) seductive

第 23 題

To achieve our goal of reducing waste, we must ____ single-use plastics from our daily lives.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查「單字詞義」及「動詞與受詞的語意搭配」。

句意為:

為了達成減少浪費的目標,我們必須將一次性塑膠製品從日常生活中____。

空格後接受詞 single-use plastics,且前方有情態助動詞 must,因此空格應填入原形動詞。依上下文「reducing waste(減少浪費)」可知,應選擇具有「消除、去除」意義的動詞。

解題方法

先判斷句意邏輯:

  • 目標是「減少浪費」。
  • 對象是「一次性塑膠製品」。
  • 合理的行動應是把一次性塑膠製品從日常生活中移除。

因此,空格需要「消除、清除」之意。eliminate 正好符合句意,形成常見搭配:

eliminate A from B 將 A 從 B 中消除/移除

完整句意為:

為了達成減少浪費的目標,我們必須將一次性塑膠製品從日常生活中消除。

選項分析

(A) eliminate 消除;排除

正確。eliminate 指完全去除、消除某事物,常用於問題、浪費、污染、風險及不需要的物品等。

本句使用:

eliminate single-use plastics from our daily lives

表示「將一次性塑膠製品從日常生活中移除」,符合減少浪費的目標,故為正確答案。

(B) delineate 描繪;界定;劃分界線

錯誤。delineate 指清楚描述、界定範圍或劃分界線,例如:

Before signing the contract, we may need to ____ some of the terms to better fit our needs and expectations.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查字義辨析與語境判斷,並涉及動詞搭配:

Before signing the contract, we may need to ____ some of the terms to better fit our needs and expectations.

句意為:「在簽訂合約前,我們可能需要____部分條款,使其更符合我們的需求與期望。」

其中,terms 在合約語境中是「條款、條件」的意思。能與 terms 搭配,且符合「使條款更符合需求」語意的動詞,是 modify,意為「修改、調整」。

解題方法

先觀察句型:

  • need to + 原形動詞
  • 空格後方為 some of the terms
  • to better fit our needs and expectations 表示修改的目的,即「使條款更符合需求與期望」

因此,空格需要填入一個表示「修改、調整合約條款」的動詞。完整句意為:

Before signing the contract, we may need to modify some of the terms to better fit our needs and expectations.

翻譯:

在簽訂合約前,我們可能需要修改部分條款,使其更符合我們的需求與期望。

選項分析

(A) modify 修改、調整

modify 表示對內容、條件、計畫或規則進行部分修改,使其更適合特定目的。

常見搭配包括:

  • modify a contract:修改合約
  • modify the terms:修改條款
  • modify the plan:調整計畫
  • modify the design:修改設計

本句談到簽約前調整合約條款,語意與搭配均正確。

Every morning, Maria opens her coffee shop at 6 AM. She follows the same ____: first, she turns on all the lights; then she checks the coffee machines. Many customers wait outside before the shop opens, especially on cold days. Yesterday, she was surprised when no one was waiting. Later she felt ____, for she found out most people went to a big street festival nearby instead. Maria loves her job because she gets to meet interesting people. When she first ____ the shop five years ago, she didn't know anything about coffee. Now, she knows ____ about different coffee types. Her shop is very popular ____ the neighborhood, and she plans to open a second shop next year; her sister agrees to help manage the new shop.

  1. ____.
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「字義判斷」與「語境搭配」。空格前為 the same,後文接著說明 Maria 每天開店後固定進行的步驟,因此需要填入表示「例行程序、日常慣例」的名詞。

解題方法

關鍵句為:

She follows the same ____: first, she turns on all the lights; then she checks the coffee machines.

句中冒號後列出兩個固定步驟:

  1. 打開所有燈;
  2. 檢查咖啡機。

這些都是 Maria 每天依照固定順序執行的日常工作,因此空格應填 routine,意思是「例行工作、日常慣例、固定程序」。

完整句意為:

她每天都遵循相同的例行程序:首先打開所有燈,接著檢查咖啡機。

選項分析

  • (A) program:意為「計畫、方案、節目、程式」。雖然 program 有時可表示安排好的活動或訓練計畫,但本句描述的是每天固定進行的生活及工作步驟,使用 routine 最自然。

Every morning, Maria opens her coffee shop at 6 AM. She follows the same ____: first, she turns on all the lights; then she checks the coffee machines. Many customers wait outside before the shop opens, especially on cold days. Yesterday, she was surprised when no one was waiting. Later she felt ____, for she found out most people went to a big street festival nearby instead. Maria loves her job because she gets to meet interesting people. When she first ____ the shop five years ago, she didn't know anything about coffee. Now, she knows ____ about different coffee types.

  1. ____.
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查:

  1. 字彙的語意判斷。
  2. 上下文因果關係。
  3. 常見搭配與詞性。

第 26 題位於句子:

Later she felt ____, for she found out most people went to a big street festival nearby instead.

其中 felt 後面接形容詞,描述 Maria 得知真相後的心理感受;for 表示「因為」,引導原因。

解題方法

先掌握事件順序:

  1. Maria 發現開店前沒有顧客排隊,因此感到驚訝。
  2. 後來她發現大多數人是去了附近的街頭節慶。
  3. 這表示沒有顧客排隊不是因為咖啡店不受歡迎,而是顧客另有活動。
  4. 得知原因後,她對店家生意沒有出問題感到安心、放心。

因此空格應填表示「放心的、如釋重負的」形容詞,即 relieved。

選項分析

(A) stressed

stressed 表示「感到有壓力的、焦慮的」。若 Maria 不知道顧客為何沒有出現,確實可能感到擔心;但句中 for 後方說明她得知顧客只是去了附近的街頭節慶,這項資訊應使她安心,而非增加壓力,因此不符上下文。

(B) interested

interested 表示「感興趣的」。Maria 得知顧客前往街頭節慶,句中沒有顯示她對街頭節慶產生興趣;此處重點是她確認店家沒有失去顧客,因此不適合填入。

(C) relieved

Her shop is very popular ____ the neighborhood, and she plans to open a second shop next year; her sister agrees to help manage the new shop.

  1. ____.
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查英文篇章中的「上下文判讀」與動詞搭配。空格所在句為:

When she first ____ the shop five years ago, she didn't know anything about coffee.

句意是:「五年前,當她第一次______這家店時,她對咖啡一無所知。」

主詞為 she,空格後接名詞 the shop,需要填入一個能表達「開始經營、開設」商店的過去式動詞。由時間副詞 five years ago 及前後文可知,空格應使用過去式。

解題方法

先掌握全文時間與語意:

  • Maria 每天早上開咖啡店。
  • 她現在非常熟悉各種咖啡。
  • 她五年前開始經營這家店時,還不懂咖啡。
  • 因此,空格應表達「開始經營這家店」。

start the shop 可表示「開始經營這家店」;此處 started 是 start 的過去式,符合 five years ago 的過去時間,也符合全文語意。

完整句子為:

When she first started the shop five years ago, she didn't know anything about coffee.

翻譯為:「五年前,當她剛開始經營這家店時,她對咖啡一無所知。」

Her shop is very popular ____ the neighborhood, and she plans to open a second shop next year; her sister agrees to help manage the new shop.

  1. ____.
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查不定代名詞與副詞的詞義、詞性及固定搭配:

  • everything:每件事、所有事情;可作代名詞。
  • nothing:沒有任何事物;可作代名詞。
  • everywhere:到處、各處;副詞。
  • nowhere:無處、哪裡都不;副詞。

題目句型為:

Now, she knows ____ about different coffee types.

其中 know ... about + 主題 表示「知道關於某主題的……」。空格應填入表示「所有事情」的代名詞,形成 know everything about ...,意為「對……無所不知」。

解題方法

先觀察空格的位置:

she knows ____ about different coffee types

動詞 knows 後面需要接表示「知道什麼內容」的受詞,且後方 about different coffee types 指出知識的主題。

前文說 Maria 五年前剛開店時「完全不懂咖啡」,現在則已經熟悉各種咖啡類型,因此語意是「她現在對不同種類的咖啡什麼都知道」:

Now, she knows everything about different coffee types.

此句符合文意、文法及搭配,因此選 (C) everything。

選項分析

(A) everywhere

everywhere 是副詞,意思是「到處」,通常表示地點,例如:

Coffee shops are everywhere. 咖啡店到處都是。

放入題目後變成:

She knows everywhere about different coffee types.

Her shop is very popular ____ the neighborhood, and she plans to open a second shop next year; her sister agrees to help manage the new shop.

  1. ____.
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「形容詞與介系詞的固定搭配」及介系詞表示地點的用法。

句中關鍵結構為:

Her shop is very popular ____ the neighborhood.

「popular」表示「受歡迎的」,後面若接「在哪個地區受歡迎」,通常使用介系詞 in,形成:

be popular in+地點 在某地區很受歡迎

因此應填入 in。


解題方法

先判斷空格後面的名詞片語:

the neighborhood 該社區、這個鄰里

句意是「她的店在這個社區非常受歡迎」。表示某人或某事物存在於、分布於某個範圍內,使用 in:

Her shop is very popular in the neighborhood. 她的店在這個社區非常受歡迎。

完整句意通順,文法與語意均正確。


選項分析

(A) at

at 通常表示某一特定點或明確場所,例如:

  • at the station:在車站
  • at the door:在門口
  • at school:在學校

「neighborhood」是具有範圍的社區或鄰里,不是單一地點,因此通常不說 popular at the neighborhood。本句使用 at 不符合慣用搭配,錯誤。

(B) on

on 主要表示「在……表面上」,或用於某些特定位置與道路名稱,例如:

  • on the table:在桌面上
  • on the street:在街上
  • on Main Street:在主要街道上

  1. ____.
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查:

  • 動詞與介系詞的固定搭配
  • 代名詞指涉
  • 語意判斷

句中前文為:

The World Health Organization has added the term “gaming disorder” to its International Classification of Diseases.

下一句的主詞 It 指的是前句的 the term “gaming disorder”。句意是「這個詞指的是哪些人」,因此須使用 refer to,表示「指的是、涉及」。

完整句子為:

It refers to people who are addicted to video and other games and cannot stop.

意思是:

這個詞指的是沉迷於電子遊戲及其他遊戲、無法停止的人。

解題方法

先觀察空格後方:

____ to people

表示空格後已有介系詞 to,可優先判斷動詞是否能與 to 形成固定搭配。

其中:

refer to+人/事物

表示「指的是……」「提到……」。主詞 It 為第三人稱單數,現在式動詞須加 -s,因此使用 refers to。

放入後:

It refers to people ...

文法與語意皆正確。

選項分析

(A) refers 正確

refer to 是固定用法,表示「指的是、提及」。主詞 It 為第三人稱單數,現在式須用 refers。

It refers to people ...

意為「它指的是這些人」,符合全文對「gaming disorder」的說明。

  1. ____.
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「介系詞片語的語意判斷」,須依上下文選出能表達「根據某一機構的說法」之片語。

句子為:

____ the WHO, gaming becomes a disorder if you are unable to control how long you play and when to stop.

句意是:「根據世界衛生組織的說法,如果無法控制遊戲時間及停止遊戲的時機,玩遊戲就會成為一種疾病。」

因此空格應填表示「根據、依據」的 According to。

解題方法

判斷空格與後面的名詞片語 the WHO 之間的邏輯關係:

  • WHO 是提出標準與說明的機構。
  • 後句內容是引用 WHO 的看法。
  • 因此需要使用表示「根據某人或某機構的說法」的片語。

完整句子為:

According to the WHO, gaming becomes a disorder if you are unable to control how long you play and when to stop.

其中 according to + 人/機構/資料,表示「根據……所述」或「依……的說法」。

選項分析

(A) According to

正確。according to 表示「根據、依照」,可用於引述某人、機構或資料的觀點、說法與規定。

According to the WHO, gaming becomes a disorder ...

意思是「根據世界衛生組織的說法,玩遊戲會成為一種疾病……」,符合上下文及文意。

(B) Judging from

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查字義辨析與固定搭配。第 32 題空格位於:

affects your daily ____.

其中 daily routine 是固定搭配,意為「日常作息、日常生活規律」。全文談論沉迷遊戲如何影響個人的生活,因此填入 routine 最符合語意。

解題方法

先觀察空格前的形容詞 daily,再依句意判斷名詞:

affects your daily routine 影響你的日常作息。

前文提到,遊戲成癮者無法控制遊戲時間,遊戲逐漸支配生活,並影響日常情況。因此,此處需要表示「日常生活安排或作息」的名詞。

選項分析

(A) account

account 可作名詞,表示「帳戶、帳目、描述、解釋」;也可作動詞,表示「說明、解釋」。 daily account 並非本句常用搭配,且「影響每日帳戶」不符合文章討論遊戲成癮對生活的影響,錯誤。

(B) routine

routine 表示「例行工作、日常作息、生活規律」。 daily routine 是常見搭配,意為「日常作息」,放入句中為:

Many ____ with their addiction, even if they see and realize the negative consequences it leads to.

  1. ____.
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查副詞的詞義辨析與語意搭配。四個選項皆為副詞:

  • originally:原本地、起初地
  • indirectly:間接地
  • physically:身體上地
  • constantly:持續地、不斷地

文意指出,許多遊戲成癮者即使已經看見並了解成癮造成的負面後果,仍然「持續與成癮問題抗爭」。因此,應選具有「持續、不斷」之意的 constantly。

解題方法

先掌握最後一句的語意:

Many ____ with their addiction, even if they see and realize the negative consequences it leads to.

前文描述遊戲成癮者無法停止遊戲,並將遊戲成癮置於家庭、朋友及學業之上。最後一句進一步說明:即使這些人明白成癮的負面後果,仍然無法輕易擺脫,會不斷面對、對抗成癮問題。

因此,空格所需的語意應為「不斷地、持續地」,選 constantly 最符合上下文。

完整合理句意為:

Many constantly struggle with their addiction, even if they see and realize the negative consequences it leads to.

中文可譯為:

許多人即使看見並了解成癮所導致的負面後果,仍持續與自己的成癮問題抗爭。

選項分析

(A) originally

originally 意為「原本地、起初地」,用來表示某件事最初的狀態或起源,例如:

The game was originally designed for children. 這款遊戲原本是為兒童設計的。

本句重點在於成癮者持續受到成癮影響,而不是說他們「起初」如何面對成癮,與語意不合,故錯誤。

(B) indirectly

indirectly 意為「間接地」,表示不是直接發生或直接進行,例如:

The policy indirectly affects students. 這項政策間接影響學生。

本句是描述成癮者與成癮問題之間的直接困境,沒有「間接地」的語意,故錯誤。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查「上下文語意判斷」與動詞搭配。空格所在句為:

Many ____ with their addiction, even if they see and realize the negative consequences it leads to.

前文描述遊戲成癮者將遊戲成癮置於家庭、朋友及學業之上,後文表示即使他們明白成癮造成的負面後果,仍未停止這種行為。因此空格應填入表示「持續、繼續」的動詞。

解題方法

逐一觀察句意:

  • Many 作主詞,表示「許多人」。
  • 空格後接介系詞片語 with their addiction。
  • 全句意思是:「許多人即使看見並了解成癮所造成的負面後果,仍然__他們的成癮行為。」

能與「持續某種狀態或行為」搭配,且符合上下文的動詞為 continue:

Many continue with their addiction, even if they see and realize the negative consequences it leads to.

可譯為:

許多人即使看見並了解成癮所造成的負面後果,仍然繼續沉溺其中。

其中 continue with + 名詞 表示「繼續進行某事、持續某種狀態」。

These shared experiences not only bring joy and laughter but also ____ a sense of belonging. In conclusion, by nurturing friendships, we can build a strong support system and meaningful connections that last a lifetime.

  1. ____.
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查英文語境判斷與形容詞比較級。

句型為:

True friends can make our lives ____ because they can provide us with support during challenging times...

其中 make + 受詞 + 形容詞 表示「使某人或某事變得……」。依後文可知,朋友能在困難時提供支持、陪伴與建議,因此友誼會使生活「更容易」,故應填比較級形容詞 easier。

解題方法

先判斷空格所需的詞性。make our lives ____ 中,our lives 是受詞,空格需填補語,應使用形容詞。

再根據語意判斷:

  • 朋友能在困難時期提供支持;
  • 朋友能分享成功;
  • 朋友能提供陪伴;

  1. ____.
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「whether...or...」的用法。whether 可作從屬連接詞,表示「不論是否……、無論是……還是……」,常用於引導讓步副詞子句。

句中列出三種人生困境:

  • academic stress
  • family issues
  • personal struggles

因此須使用 Whether,形成「無論面對的是學業壓力、家庭問題或個人困境」的語意。

解題方法

將選項代入句中:

Whether it’s dealing with academic stress, family issues, or personal struggles, knowing that there are people who care about us can provide comfort and strength.

全句意為:

無論面對的是學業壓力、家庭問題或個人困境,知道有人關心我們,都能帶來安慰與力量。

句首的 Whether 引導讓步副詞子句,後面的主句為:

knowing that there are people who care about us can provide comfort and strength

句型結構如下:

Whether + 子句,主句\text{Whether + 子句}, \text{主句}

其中 whether 子句列舉不同的困境,主句說明這些情況下共同產生的結果,語意與文法皆可成立。

選項分析

(A) How

how 表示「如何、怎麼樣」,通常用來引導方式或程度,例如:

How we solve the problem is important.

代入後為:

How it’s dealing with academic stress, family issues, or personal struggles...

These shared experiences not only bring joy and laughter but also ____ a sense of belonging. In conclusion, by nurturing friendships, we can build a strong support system and meaningful connections that last a lifetime.

  1. ____.
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查英文慣用語與語意搭配。句中:

Friends offer a listening ear, a ____ to cry on, and valuable advice.

意思是「朋友會傾聽、提供一個讓人哭泣依靠的支柱,以及在最需要時給予寶貴建議」。

英文慣用語 a shoulder to cry on 指「可以傾訴、依靠的人」,通常用來形容朋友在他人難過或遭遇困難時,提供情緒上的支持。

因此空格應填 shoulder。

解題方法

先觀察空格後的介系詞片語 to cry on:

  • cry on someone’s shoulder:向某人的肩膀哭訴、尋求安慰。
  • a shoulder to cry on:可以哭訴、依靠的對象。

將答案代入後:

Friends offer a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on, and valuable advice when we need it most.

句意為:「朋友會在我們最需要的時候,提供傾聽的耳朵、可以哭訴依靠的對象,以及寶貴的建議。」與全文談論友誼所提供的支持完全一致。

此外,句中使用不定冠詞 a,表示需要填入可數單數名詞;四個選項皆符合詞性,但只有 shoulder 能與 to cry on 構成自然且固定的慣用搭配。

選項分析

(A) face

face 是「臉、面孔」,常見搭配如:

  • face the problem:面對問題
  • wash one’s face:洗臉

  1. ____.
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「字義判斷」與「動詞搭配」。句子為:

These shared experiences not only bring joy and laughter but also ____ a sense of belonging.

空格前的主詞是複數名詞片語 These shared experiences,因此空格應填原形動詞;同時,語意須與「共同經驗帶來喜悅與笑聲,也能增添歸屬感」相符。

解題方法

句型為:

not only bring ... but also ____ ...

此處的 bring 與空格後的動詞形成對等結構,因此空格需填動詞原形。再依語意判斷,共同經驗能「豐富」人生,最適合使用 enrich。

完整句意為:

這些共同經驗不僅帶來喜悅與笑聲,也豐富了我們的生活。

選項分析

  • (A) jam:可作名詞「果醬、擁擠、困境」,也可作動詞「塞滿、卡住」。例如 jam the printer 表示「使印表機卡住」,不能表示「豐富生活」,故錯誤。

In conclusion, by nurturing friendships, we can build a strong support system and meaningful connections that last a lifetime.

  1. ____.
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查:

  1. 字義判斷:依上下文選出最符合語意的動詞。
  2. 搭配用法:create a sense of belonging 表示「建立/產生歸屬感」。
  3. 對等結構:not only A but also B 中,A、B 通常使用相同詞性與相近結構。

句子為:

These shared experiences not only bring joy and laughter but also ____ a sense of belonging.

前半段的 bring joy and laughter 表示「帶來喜悅與笑聲」,後半段應接一個正面且符合語意的動詞,說明共同經驗也能「產生歸屬感」。

解題方法

先觀察句型:

not only bring joy and laughter but also ____ a sense of belonging

not only...but also... 連接兩個並列動詞,因此空格應填入動詞原形,與前面的 bring 對等。

再依文章語意判斷。本文整體說明友誼的正面作用,包括:

  • 提供支持;
  • 帶來陪伴;
  • 創造難忘回憶;
  • 增加快樂與歸屬感。

因此,「共同經驗不僅帶來喜悅與笑聲,也能____歸屬感」最自然的語意是「產生歸屬感」,填入 create。

【題組共用題幹】

Nature is a battlefield. You are either eating or being eaten. To survive, animals develop many ways to protect themselves from attackers. A hard shell is an excellent defense for slow-moving animals like turtles, snails, or clams. Some animals, like skunks, spray bad smells when threatened so that other animals will leave them alone. Certain animals try to fool their enemies by looking like something harmful. For example, some butterflies have big spots that resemble the eyes of an owl. The king snake, one of the most widespread snakes in the U.S.A., has red, yellow and black rings that look like the markings of a smaller but more dangerous coral snake. Other animals protect themselves by forming groups. Whether it’s a pod of whales, a school of fish, or a pride of lions, living in groups helps animals defend each other against enemies and stay alive. Still other animals blend into their environment to become invisible. The Arctic hare, for instance, changes its coat color from brown in the summer to white in the winter, disappearing against the snow. These are just a few of the clever ways animals protect themselves in nature.

  1. According to this passage, what animal uses smell to drive away attackers?
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查英文閱讀理解,重點是根據文章內容找出「利用氣味驅離攻擊者」的動物。

文中提到:

Some animals, like skunks, spray bad smells when threatened so that other animals will leave them alone.

意思是:「有些動物,例如臭鼬,在受到威脅時會噴出難聞的氣味,使其他動物離牠們遠一點。」

其中:

  • smell:氣味、嗅覺
  • drive away:驅離、趕走
  • attackers:攻擊者、敵人
  • skunks:臭鼬

解題方法

題目問:

What animal uses smell to drive away attackers?

可先抓住題幹關鍵字 smell 與 drive away,再回文章尋找描述「利用氣味使其他動物離開」的句子。

文章中明確指出,skunks spray bad smells,也就是臭鼬會噴出難聞的氣味,使其他動物離開。因此正確答案為 Skunks。

  1. According to the passage, which of the following statements about a coral snake is NOT true?
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查英文閱讀理解中的「細節判斷」與「否定問句」:

Which of the following statements about a coral snake is NOT true?

關鍵字是 NOT true,要求找出「關於 coral snake(珊瑚蛇)不正確的敘述」。解題時須逐項回到文章,比對文中明確資訊,避免將其他動物的特徵誤套用到珊瑚蛇。

解題方法

文章提到:

  • 珊瑚蛇比 king snake 小,但更加危險。
  • 珊瑚蛇身上有紅、黃、黑色的環狀花紋。
  • 蝴蝶身上有像貓頭鷹眼睛的大斑點。

因此,只要找出「文章沒有描述、且實際上屬於其他動物」的選項,即可判定答案。

選項分析

(A) It’s dangerous and harmful. 正確。文章說明 king snake 身上的花紋像「a smaller but more dangerous coral snake」,意即珊瑚蛇體型較小,但更加危險。因此珊瑚蛇具有危險性。

These are just a few of the clever ways animals protect themselves in nature.

  1. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way animals use to protect themselves in the passage?
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查閱讀理解中的「細節辨識」與「排除未提及資訊」。解題重點不是判斷選項是否符合動物防禦的常識,而是確認文章是否「明確提到」該防禦方式。

文章提到的防禦方式包括:

  • 以堅硬外殼保護自己
  • 噴出難聞氣味
  • 以身體上的斑紋或圖案欺騙敵人
  • 以群體方式互相防禦
  • 藉由改變或利用顏色融入環境

題目問的是哪一項「未被文章提及」。

解題方法

逐一將選項與文章內容比對:

  1. 找出文章中明確描述的防禦方式。
  2. 將同義或近義表達歸類,例如:
  • hard shell 對應 hardened body part
  • markings、big spots 對應 special body patterns
  • brown、white 對應 colors
  1. 判斷哪一個選項在文章中沒有直接對應內容。

文章明確提到:

  • “A hard shell is an excellent defense” 表示動物利用硬殼等堅硬身體部位防禦。
  • “big spots that resemble the eyes of an owl”以及“markings” 表示利用特殊斑紋或圖案欺騙敵人。
  • 北極兔夏天為棕色、冬天為白色 表示利用顏色融入環境。

文章雖然提到動物「看起來像有害的東西」,也提到斑點像貓頭鷹的眼睛,但並未將「形狀」獨立列為防禦方式。因此依照題目要求的「文章明確提及」標準,未提及的是 Shapes。

選項分析

(A) Hardened body part(堅硬的身體部位)—錯誤選項

文章以烏龜、蝸牛、蛤蜊為例,明確說明:

“A hard shell is an excellent defense for slow-moving animals.”

硬殼屬於動物堅硬的身體部位,可保護行動緩慢的動物免受攻擊。因此本選項已在文章中提及,不是答案。

  1. According to the passage, which of the following words is used to refer to a group of whales?
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查文章理解與動物群體的英文集合名詞(collective nouns)。

文章明確指出:

Whether it’s a pod of whales, a school of fish, or a pride of lions...

其中:

  • a pod of whales:一群鯨魚
  • a school of fish:一群魚
  • a pride of lions:一群獅子

因此,題目問「用來指稱一群鯨魚的單字」,答案是 pod。

解題方法

直接定位文章中與動物群體有關的句子,對照各種動物與集合名詞的搭配:

  • whales → pod
  • fish → school
  • lions → pride

題目問的是 whales 的群體名稱,因此選擇 Pod。

選項分析

(A) School

  1. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查「閱讀理解中的主旨與標題判斷」。解題重點是掌握全文反覆說明的核心內容,而非只注意其中一個例子。

本文主旨是:動物為了在自然界中生存,會發展出多種自我保護的方法,包括:

  • 烏龜、蝸牛、蛤蜊以硬殼防禦。
  • 臭鼬受到威脅時噴出難聞氣味。
  • 蝴蝶利用類似貓頭鷹眼睛的斑點欺騙敵人。
  • 王蛇模仿珊瑚蛇的外觀。
  • 鯨魚、魚、獅子組成群體共同防禦。
  • 北極野兔改變毛色,融入雪地環境。

因此,最佳標題應能完整概括「動物保護自己的不同方式」。

解題方法

判斷文章標題時,可採取「首尾呼應+例證歸納」的方法:

  1. 開頭指出自然界是生存競爭,動物必須保護自己。
  2. 中段列舉硬殼、臭味、擬態、群體生活、保護色等不同防禦方式。
  3. 結尾再次說明,這些都是動物在自然界保護自己的巧妙方法。

全文並非只討論某一種動物,也不是單純介紹動物外形的變化,而是以「不同的自我防禦方式」為共同主軸。因此,能涵蓋各項例子的選項最適合作為標題。

選項分析

(A) Animal Helpers: The Heroes You Don’t Know

意為「動物助手:你不認識的英雄」。

本文沒有討論動物如何幫助人類,也沒有描述動物是人類的英雄。文章重點是動物保護自己、躲避天敵,故本選項偏離文章主旨,錯誤。

(B) Dangerous Wild: A Death Trap for Everyone

意為「危險的荒野:每個人的死亡陷阱」。

文章開頭提到自然界存在生存競爭,但全文重點在於動物如何運用各種方法防禦敵人,並非描寫荒野的危險,也未談及「每個人」或死亡陷阱。本選項過度渲染危險,且與文章內容不符,錯誤。

These are just a few of the clever ways animals protect themselves in nature.

  1. What does the opening sentence, “Nature is a battlefield.” imply?
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查英文閱讀理解中的「語意推論」與「上下文主旨判斷」。

開頭句 “Nature is a battlefield.” 使用比喻修辭,將自然界比作「戰場」。下文接著說明動物為了生存,必須防禦攻擊者,並發展出硬殼、噴出臭味、偽裝、群體生活、保護色等各種防禦方式。

因此,這句話所強調的是:自然界充滿生存競爭與威脅,動物必須在殘酷環境中設法存活。

解題方法

判斷開頭比喻句的含義時,應觀察後文如何具體說明:

  • “You are either eating or being eaten.” 不是吃別人,就是被別人吃,呈現自然界的生存競爭。
  • “To survive, animals develop many ways to protect themselves from attackers.” 動物為了生存,必須防禦攻擊者。
  • 後文列舉硬殼、臭味、擬態、群體防禦及保護色,均在說明動物面對敵害時的生存策略。

由此可知,battlefield 並非指真正的戰爭,而是比喻自然界中動物彼此競爭、攻擊與防衛的殘酷生存環境。

選項分析

(A) The cruelty of animals’ survival in nature. 自然界中動物生存的殘酷性。

正確。題幹以「不是吃,就是被吃」描述自然界的生存法則,並列舉動物為避免被捕食而採取的各種防禦方式,突顯生存環境的殘酷與競爭。因此符合開頭句的隱含意義。

(B) The extinction of wild animals. 野生動物的滅絕。

Matcha is more than just green tea in Japan but a symbol of Japanese culture and tradition. It was first planted in China during the 12th century and introduced to Japan later. It can be enjoyed as a drink, dessert and healthy treat. Few know that it actually comes from the same plant with black tea. Yet, it has a sweeter flavor because of shading, a process in which farmers cover the tea plants for 20 to 30 days before the tea leaves are picked. The covering practice reduces the amount of sunlight the plants receive. Though the growth of tea plants is slowed down, it gives Matcha the richer taste and deeper green color.

More and more people are rediscovering Matcha in today’s world of health. They have a cup of Matcha before work rather than coffee. With higher levels of nutrients, it increases energy levels and improves moods without the side effects of coffee.

  1. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true about Matcha?
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查英文閱讀理解,重點在於:

  1. 找出文章明確陳述的事實。
  2. 判斷選項是否與原文意思一致。
  3. 注意因果關係與轉折語氣,避免將不同資訊拼湊成錯誤結論。

文中指出,Matcha(抹茶)與 black tea(紅茶)「comes from the same plant」,意思是兩者源自同一種茶樹,具有共同的植物來源。

解題方法

解答此類題目,應先定位各選項涉及的關鍵資訊,再回到原文逐一比對:

  • 歷史起源:比對文章對 China、Japan 的描述。
  • 植物來源:比對 same plant 的句意。
  • 時間背景:確認是否有 20th century 的資訊。
  • 味道與營養:分別確認 flavor 與 nutrients 的敘述,不能混為一談。

原文關鍵句為:

Few know that it actually comes from the same plant with black tea.

此句明確表示抹茶與紅茶來自同一種植物,因此選項 B 正確。

選項分析

(A) The history of Matcha tea began in Japan.

錯誤。

文章指出:

It was first planted in China during the 12th century and introduced to Japan later.

意思是抹茶最早於 12 世紀在中國種植,之後才傳入日本。因此,抹茶的歷史並非始於日本;日本是後來引進並發展抹茶文化的重要地區。

(B) Matcha and black tea share a common origin.

  1. According to the passage, which is NOT the effect shading might have on tea plants?
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查英文閱讀理解中的「細節判斷」與「否定問法」:

題目問的是 which is NOT the effect,意即「下列何者不是遮蔭對茶樹可能造成的影響」。解題時必須從文章中找出 shading 的實際作用,再排除符合文章內容的選項。

文章指出,茶農在採摘茶葉前將茶樹遮蔽 20 至 30 天,減少茶樹接受的陽光。雖然茶樹的生長速度會變慢,卻能使抹茶具有更濃郁的味道與更深的綠色。

解題方法

抓住描述 shading 作用的關鍵句:

  • “The covering practice reduces the amount of sunlight the plants receive.”
  • “Though the growth of tea plants is slowed down, it gives Matcha the richer taste and deeper green color.”

可整理如下:

  1. 遮蔭會減少茶葉接受的陽光。
  2. 遮蔭會使茶樹生長變慢。
  3. 遮蔭能使茶葉風味更濃郁。
  4. 遮蔭能使茶葉呈現更深的綠色。

題目要找「不是其效果」的選項,因此選擇與文章相反者。

選項分析

(A) To increase tea flavor.

正確。文章說遮蔭會使抹茶具有 “richer taste”,即更濃郁、更豐富的味道。因此,增加茶葉風味是遮蔭的效果之一。

(B) To make leaves grow faster.

  1. What does the word “it” in the last sentence of the first paragraph refer to?
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查英文代名詞的指涉判斷。解題時須綜合:

  1. 代名詞在文中的前後文指涉。
  2. 句意與邏輯關係。
  3. 文法上的單複數與指涉對象。

題幹相關句子為:

Yet, it has a sweeter flavor because of shading, a process in which farmers cover the tea plants for 20 to 30 days before the tea leaves are picked. The covering practice reduces the amount of sunlight the plants receive. Though the growth of tea plants is slowed down, it gives Matcha the richer taste and deeper green color.

其中,shading 是一種「遮蔭、覆蓋的過程」,也就是農民將茶樹覆蓋 20 至 30 天的作法。

解題方法

先將句子分成兩部分:

  • Though the growth of tea plants is slowed down 雖然茶樹的生長速度變慢了
  • it gives Matcha the richer taste and deeper green color 但它使抹茶具有更濃郁的味道與更深的綠色

此處的 it 必須指向能夠造成「味道更濃、顏色更深」的原因。前文明確說明:

The covering practice reduces the amount of sunlight...

也就是「覆蓋茶樹的作法」減少日照,雖然使茶樹生長變慢,卻使抹茶味道更濃、顏色更深。因此,it 指的是前文的 the covering practice,即「覆蓋過程」。

故選 (A)。

選項分析

(A) The covering process(覆蓋過程)—正確

前文的 shading 被解釋為農民覆蓋茶樹的過程,後文又以 The covering practice 重述此概念。

Matcha is more than just green tea in Japan but a symbol of Japanese culture and tradition. It was first planted in China during the 12th century and introduced to Japan later. It can be enjoyed as a drink, dessert and healthy treat. Few know that it actually comes from the same plant with black tea. Yet, it has a sweeter flavor because of shading, a process in which farmers cover the tea plants for 20 to 30 days before the tea leaves are picked. The covering practice reduces the amount of sunlight the plants receive. Though the growth of tea plants is slowed down, it gives Matcha the richer taste and deeper green color.

More and more people are rediscovering Matcha in today’s world of health. They have a cup of Matcha before work rather than coffee. With higher levels of nutrients, it increases energy levels and improves moods without the side effects of coffee.

  1. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查英文閱讀理解中的「段落主旨判斷」。判斷主旨時,應掌握:

  1. 段落開頭的主題句。
  2. 後續句子反覆說明的共同概念。
  3. 內容範圍是否涵蓋整個段落,而非只擷取其中一項細節。

第二段先指出人們在現代健康風潮中重新認識抹茶,接著說明以抹茶取代咖啡的飲用情形,以及抹茶具備較高營養、提升能量與改善心情等優點。因此,本段主旨是「抹茶近年重新受到重視的原因」。

解題方法

第二段內容可分為三個層次:

  • 現象:More and more people are rediscovering Matcha in today’s world of health. 越來越多人在重視健康的現代重新發現抹茶。
  • 飲用選擇:They have a cup of Matcha before work rather than coffee. 他們在工作前喝抹茶,而不是喝咖啡。
  • 主要原因:With higher levels of nutrients, it increases energy levels and improves moods without the side effects of coffee. 抹茶含有較高的營養成分,可以提升精力、改善心情,且沒有咖啡的副作用。

第二、三句都是用來解釋第一句所說的「為何抹茶重新受到重視」。因此,段落重點不是單純描述飲用習慣,也不是只比較抹茶與咖啡,而是說明抹茶近年受歡迎的原因。

選項分析

(A) The habit of drinking Matcha. 「飲用抹茶的習慣。」

  1. Which fact about Matcha is NOT mentioned in the passage?
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查閱讀理解中的「細節辨識」與「否定題」:

題目問的是哪一項資訊在文章中「沒有被提到」,因此必須逐一比對選項與文章內容,找出文章未提供的事實。

解題方法

先找出文章中與四個選項對應的資訊:

  • 文章是否提到抹茶的享用方式?
  • 文章是否提到抹茶的健康益處?
  • 文章是否提到抹茶可能造成的副作用?
  • 文章是否提到抹茶在日本文化中的地位?

文章明確提到:

  1. 抹茶可作為飲料、甜點及健康食品享用。
  2. 抹茶含有較高營養成分,可提升活力並改善情緒。
  3. 抹茶是日本文化與傳統的象徵。
  4. 咖啡具有副作用,但文章沒有說明抹茶會造成哪些副作用。

因此,未提及的是「抹茶可能造成的副作用」。

選項分析

(A) Ways to enjoy it.

文章提到:

It can be enjoyed as a drink, dessert and healthy treat.

意思是抹茶可以作為飲品、甜點及健康食品享用,直接說明了抹茶的享用方式。

因此,(A) 已在文章中提及,錯誤。

(B) Its health benefits.

文章提到:

With higher levels of nutrients, it increases energy levels and improves moods without the side effects of coffee.

意思是抹茶含有較高的營養成分,可以提升能量並改善情緒,這些都是健康益處。
