第 1 題

During the summer there is always a shortage of cheap ____ in Kenting area, so you’d better make a reservation for the room you want in advance.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「住宿」相關的英文名詞,以及動詞與名詞的語意搭配。句中提到肯丁夏季遊客多、便宜的某物供不應求,後句又說要提前預訂想要的房間,因此空格應填表示「住宿、住處」的字。

解題方法

先看後文的 make a reservation for the room(預訂房間),可知前文談的是住宿資源。再看搭配:a shortage of cheap accommodation 意為「便宜住宿供應短缺」,語意自然,也符合肯丁夏季旅遊旺季的情境。

第 2 題

As science and ____ advance, many people enjoy a higher and higher standard of living.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考單字語意與慣用搭配。句意是:「隨著科學與__進步,許多人享有愈來愈高的生活水準。」常見搭配為 science and technology(科學與科技);科技進步也能帶動生活水準提升。

解題方法

先看句子中的 advance,此處作動詞,表示「進步、發展」。空格要填入能與 science 並列,且適合描述持續進步的名詞。再依後半句「享有更高的生活水準」判斷,科技發展符合整句因果脈絡。

選項分析

  • (A) foundation(基礎、地基):science and foundation advance 不符合此處「科學與某領域進步」的語意與常見搭配。

第 3 題

Even though the rent for the apartment was quite low, I found that the cost of its ____ was high.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考單字在語境中的意思,以及英文名詞的搭配。句子中的 rent 是「房租」;後半句要表示「公寓的某項費用很高」,因此空格應填與居住相關的費用。

解題方法

句意是:「雖然這間公寓的房租相當低,我卻發現它的__費用很高。」能與 cost 搭配,且指居住時需支付的水電、瓦斯等費用的字是 utilities,因此選 D。

選項分析

  • (A) integrities:「正直、誠信」;通常指品格或道德操守,不是公寓的日常費用。
  • (B) privileges:「特權、優惠」;不符合公寓費用的語境。

第 4 題

One of Kay’s ____ is to walk her dog after dinner.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考常見字彙的詞義與搭配。routine 是「日常慣例、例行活動」,常用複數 routines 表示一個人平日固定進行的活動。

解題方法

句意是:「晚餐後遛狗是 Kay 的一項__。」空格前的 One of 後面須接複數名詞;空格後的內容說明 Kay 固定會做的事,因此應填表示「日常慣例」的 routines。

選項分析

  • (A) routes:route 指「路線、路徑」。One of Kay’s routes 是「Kay 的其中一條路線」,與晚餐後遛狗這項例行活動的語意不合。

解題方法

句意是:「很快就變得 ____,我們的計畫完全沒有照預期進行。」空格後的 that 子句說明「變得明顯」的內容,因此應填 evident,使前後語意通順。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考固定搭配 in a positive light,意思是「以正面的方式呈現」或「從正面角度描繪」。句中 presents the nation’s cultures in a positive light 表示「以正面角度呈現這個國家的文化」。

解題方法

先看空格前的 in a positive。英文常用 in a … light 表示「以某種方式呈現或看待」,例如 in a different light(以不同角度)及 in a favorable light(以有利的角度)。因此空格應填 light。

The way to improve ourselves is to start from having a ____ on the mistakes that we have made in the past.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「固定搭配」與近義字辨析。句意是:改善自己的方法,是先對過去犯下的錯誤進行__。搭配 have a reflection on/upon something,表示「對某事反省、深思」。

解題方法

先看空格後的介系詞 on,再將句意代入:對過去犯下的錯誤「反省」,才能從中學習並改善自己,因此應選 reflection。句中的 that we have made in the past 修飾 mistakes,意為「我們過去所犯的錯誤」。

選項分析

  • (A) restriction:限制、約束。have a restriction on 可表示「對某事有所限制」,但不符合改善自己、檢討過去錯誤的語意。
  • (B) reference:參考、提及;

The company is well-known for its best pension ____ in the industry, which meets most employees’ needs.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「固定搭配」與字義辨析。句中 pension ____ 指公司提供的「退休金制度/計畫」;in the industry 表示該制度在業界表現出色,且能滿足多數員工需求。

解題方法

先看空格前的 pension(退休金)及後面的 which meets most employees’ needs(能滿足多數員工需求)。能滿足員工退休需求的,是公司的退休金制度,因此應填表示「制度、計畫」的 scheme。pension scheme 是常見搭配,意為「退休金制度」。

Having failed to pay the rent for his apartment for several months, Mark now faces ____ from this apartment.

核心觀念

本題考「欠租後可能面臨的處置」及相近字彙辨析。句首 Having failed to pay the rent for his apartment for several months 表示 Mark 已連續數月未繳房租;後文應接「被房東逐出公寓」的結果。

解題方法

先抓關鍵線索 failed to pay the rent(未付房租),再判斷空格需要填入與失去居住權、被迫遷出有關的名詞。face eviction from this apartment 意為「面臨被逐出這間公寓」。

The terrorists ____ several tourists and demanded a huge sum of money for releasing them.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「依上下文判斷動詞字義」。句意是:恐怖分子對數名觀光客做了某件事,並要求一大筆錢作為釋放他們的條件。關鍵線索是 demanded a huge sum of money(要求鉅額金錢)和 for releasing them(作為釋放他們的條件),因此空格應填「綁架」。

解題方法

先從後半句找線索:既然恐怖分子要求贖金,並表示付錢後會釋放觀光客,前面的動作就是把觀光客擄走、拘禁。四個選項中,只有 kidnapped 有「綁架、擄走」的意思。

Welcome to the age of apps!

  1. Choose the appropriate answer for the first blank.
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考介系詞 for 表示「因為、由於」的用法。判斷時要看空格前後的語意與句子結構:空格後的 the app business can be run without an office 說明人們能住在任何地方的原因。

解題方法

句意為:「這些應用程式創業者年齡各異,也可以住在任何地方,因為應用程式事業不需要在辦公室進行。」

選項 for 可作等位連接詞,表示「因為」,用來補充說明前一句的理由;因此 anywhere for the app business can be run without an office 語意通順。

  1. Choose the appropriate answer for the second blank.
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考關係副詞 where 引導形容詞子句,修飾前面的名詞 the platform。關係副詞 where 表示「在……的地方」,在子句中相當於 介系詞 + which,例如 on which 或 at which。

解題方法

先找出空格後的子句:you are going to create your apps。其中 create your apps 的主詞是 you、動詞是 are going to create,受詞是 your apps,句子成分完整;空格所指的是「你要在哪個平台上開發應用程式」,因此需要表示地點或平台的關係副詞 where。

此處可改寫為:

the platform where you are going to create your apps = the platform on which you are going to create your apps

全句意思是:「第一步是向你打算在其上開發應用程式的平台註冊成為開發者。」

  1. Choose the appropriate answer for the third blank.
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考介系詞片語 contrary to,意思是「與……相反;違反……」。固定用法為 contrary to popular belief,意為「與一般人的看法相反」。

解題方法

空格後接 to popular belief,可由固定搭配判斷。前文提到,人們可以透過應用程式賺錢;後文則指出,創業者不必親自成為程式設計師。這項資訊與一般人對應用程式創業的印象相反,因此句子應為:

Contrary to popular belief, an appreneur does not have to be a programmer himself or herself.

意思是:「與一般人的看法相反,應用程式創業者不必親自成為程式設計師。」

  1. Choose the appropriate answer for the fourth blank.
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考的是字義與語境搭配。判斷第四格時,先看前句列舉人們用應用程式做的事,再看空格所在句:

They enjoy the ____ of instantly getting something they find useful.

句意是「他們享受能立即取得實用事物的__」。空格應填入表示「奢侈、樂事」的 luxury,構成 enjoy the luxury of + V-ing,意為「享有……的便利/樂趣」。

解題方法

先確認空格後方的 of instantly getting... 是介系詞片語,說明人們享受的是什麼;再將各選項代入句意。能與 enjoy 及 of + V-ing 自然搭配,且符合「透過 app 立即取得所需事物」語境的,是 luxury。

前文提到,人們使用應用程式玩遊戲、學語言、追蹤健康及認識新朋友,也樂於立即取得實用服務,並依賴應用程式讓生活更簡便、更有效率。這些內容都支持應用程式市場持續成長,因此空格應選表示「擴大、發展」的 expanding。

選項分析

  • (A) expanding:正確。 expand 表示「擴大、擴展」。

【題組共用題幹】

We all think we understand the formula for keeping healthy-- eat right, exercise, don’t smoke, skip dessert. But that picture is vastly incomplete, perhaps fatally so. While our individual health is highly dependent on our daily behaviors, it may be even more strongly influenced by the social and environmental conditions in which we live. Smith, a prestigious doctor, argues that the future of our health, and our healthcare system, depends on growing and supporting a new generation of healthcare practitioners who look upriver at the source of our health problems, rather than simply opting for quick-hit symptomatic relief. These “Upstreamists,” as he calls them, are practitioners on the frontlines of health who see that health (like sickness) is more than a chemical equation that can be balanced with pills and procedures administered within clinic walls. They see, rather, that health begins in our everyday lives, in the places where we live, work, eat and play. Upstreamists — who may be doctors, nurses or other clinicians — know that asthma can start in the air around us, or from the mold in the walls of our homes. They understand that obesity, diabetes and heart disease partly originate in our busy modern schedules, in the unhealthy food choices available in our stores and even in the way our neighborhoods are designed. They believe that depression, anxiety and high blood pressure can arise from chronically stressful conditions at work and home. And, just as important, these caregivers understand how to translate this knowledge into meaningful action.

What is the main idea in this passage?

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考閱讀測驗中的主旨判斷。主旨題要掌握全文反覆強調的核心訊息,不能只根據某個例子或局部細節作答。

文章指出,健康不只受個人飲食、運動等行為影響,也與居住環境、工作條件、食物供應及社區設計等因素有關。因此,醫療照護者應追溯健康問題的根源,並將理解轉化為實際行動,而不是只處理症狀。

解題方法

先看文章前後的關鍵對比:開頭說一般人以為健康靠飲食、運動等個人習慣維持,但這種看法「vastly incomplete」;接著文章介紹 Upstreamists,強調他們會「look upriver at the source of our health problems」,也就是追查健康問題的源頭,而非只提供症狀緩解。

後文列舉氣喘、肥胖、糖尿病、心臟病、憂鬱等例子,說明健康問題可能源自生活環境與社會條件。這些例子共同支持的主旨是:應從疾病的根源著手處理。

選項分析

  • (A) We should tackle sickness at its source. 正確。文章主張追溯健康問題的源頭,並採取有意義的行動;此選項最完整概括全文主旨。

According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考閱讀理解中的「是非判斷」:逐一比對選項與文章明示的資訊,找出與文章內容相反的一項。題幹主旨是,健康不只取決於個人生活習慣,也深受社會與環境條件影響;文章並主張應從健康問題的源頭著手,而非只做快速的症狀緩解。

解題方法

先抓住文章中的關鍵對比:

  • 個人日常行為會影響健康,但社會與環境條件的影響可能更大。
  • Upstreamists 關注健康問題的源頭,與只選擇快速緩解症狀的做法相對。

接著將各選項與原文對照。題目問的是 NOT true,因此要選出與文章主張相反的敘述。

選項分析

  • (A) 正確。 原文指出:「our individual health is highly dependent on our daily behaviors」,也就是個人健康高度依賴日常行為,與選項相符。

According to the passage, which of the following is NOT an “Upstreamist”?

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查依上下文辨認人物身分,以及選項字義是否符合文章定義。文中明確指出,Upstreamists 是站在健康照護第一線的專業人員,可能是醫師、護理師或其他臨床照護人員;他們關注疾病背後的生活與環境成因,並將相關知識轉化為實際行動。

解題方法

先找出文章對 Upstreamists 的直接說明:「may be doctors, nurses or other clinicians」(可能是醫師、護理師或其他臨床人員)。再逐一比對選項:選項若指醫療或照護人員,符合文意;若指不屬於這類人員的職業,便是題目要求的「不是」。

選項分析

  • (A) A physician.(醫師):符合。文章明列醫師可能是 Upstreamist。

What is the tone of the passage?

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考英文閱讀中的語氣判斷。判斷時要看作者如何呈現主題、選用哪些字詞,以及是否流露明顯情緒或態度:

  • Objective(客觀的):以說明、描述或分析為主,語氣平實,沒有強烈情緒或嘲諷。
  • Optimistic(樂觀的):明確表現出對未來或結果的正面期待。
  • Cheerful(愉快的):帶有歡快、輕鬆或令人振奮的情緒。
  • Sarcastic(諷刺的):表面說法與實際批評相反,帶有挖苦或嘲弄意味。

解題方法

先看全文主要功能:作者說明健康不只受個人日常習慣影響,也與居住、工作、飲食及社區環境有關,接著介紹醫療工作者「Upstreamists」如何辨識並處理這些健康問題的來源。

文中列舉氣喘、肥胖、糖尿病、心臟病、憂鬱、焦慮及高血壓等例子,說明疾病可能與空氣、居家環境、生活作息、食物選擇及工作壓力相關。整體以解釋概念、描述原因與介紹做法為主,沒有嘲諷或歡快的表達,因此選 Objective。

What is the best title of this passage?

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「主旨標題題」:標題應涵蓋全文主要論點,而非只挑選某一個例子或細節。文章主張,健康不只取決於個人飲食、運動等行為,也深受日常生活中的社會與環境條件影響;醫療人員應追溯健康問題的來源,並採取有意義的行動。

解題方法

先讀首段與各例子的共同方向。文章從「健康公式並不完整」切入,接著說明健康問題可能源自居住環境、工作壓力、食物選擇及社區規劃,最後介紹關注這些根源的醫療工作者,稱為「Upstreamists」。全文重點是:健康始於日常生活環境,而非僅靠診間內的藥物或處置。

選項分析

  • (A) Health Begins in Our Daily Lives. 正確。涵蓋文章的核心觀點:健康與人們生活、工作、飲食及休閒的環境密切相關。文中列舉的氣喘、肥胖、糖尿病、心臟病、憂鬱及高血壓等例子,都支持這個主旨。

In 1853, a very important book against slavery was written by a woman who hated slavery. Her name was Harriet Beecher Stowe, and the ____ of the book was Uncle Tom’s Cabin. The book quickly sold 100,000 copies; ____ helped create a wave of hatred against slavery in the North. When ____ why she wrote it, Stowe stated that she had not written the book.

In fact, when Abraham Lincoln met Harriet Beecher Stowe, he asked, “Is this little woman whose book made such a great war?”

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「書名」的英文用法。句子提到一本書 Uncle Tom’s Cabin,空格前是「the」,後面接「of the book」,因此要選表示「書名」的 title。

解題方法

句意是:「這本書的書名是 Uncle Tom’s Cabin.」英文常用 the title of the book 表示「這本書的書名」,可直接由固定搭配判斷。

選項分析

  • (A) cover:封面。the cover of the book 是「書的封面」,不會用來指稱書名。
  • (B) issue:議題、問題,或期號。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「代名詞指涉」:代名詞須與前文名詞在語意上相符。第二個空格位於分號後,句子要說明這本書的暢銷如何造成反奴隸制的影響。

解題方法

前句提到 The book quickly sold 100,000 copies(這本書迅速售出十萬冊)。後句的主詞應回指這本書;book 是單數事物,因此用代名詞 it。句意為:「這本書迅速售出十萬冊;它助長了北方反奴隸制的風潮。」

In 1853, a very important book against slavery was written by a woman who hated slavery. Her name was Harriet Beecher Stowe, and the ____ of the book was Uncle Tom’s Cabin. The book quickly sold 100,000 copies; ____ helped create a wave of hatred against slavery in the North. When ____ why she wrote it, Stowe stated that she had not written the book. She said, “God wrote it. I merely wrote His ____.” Uncle Tom’s Cabin ____ the start of the Civil War between the North and the South. In fact, when Abraham Lincoln met Harriet Beecher Stowe, he asked, “Is this little woman whose book made such a great war?”

  1. Choose the appropriate answer for the third blank.
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「疑問詞+過去分詞」的簡化被動子句。完整句型為:

When asked why she wrote it, Stowe stated that she had not written the book.

When asked 是 When she was asked 的省略形式,表示「當她被問到……時」。因為 Harriet Beecher Stowe 是「被詢問」的人,語意上須用被動。

解題方法

先找出 When 子句的主詞。原句省略了與主句相同的主詞 Stowe,完整寫法是:

When she was asked why she wrote it, Stowe stated ...

簡化時,省略與主句相同的主詞及 be 動詞,保留過去分詞 asked,因此填入 asked。

  1. Choose the appropriate answer for the fourth blank.
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考上下文語意與單字搭配。第四格位於引號中的句子:「God wrote it. I merely wrote His ___.」史托夫表示,書是上帝寫的,而她只是把上帝的內容寫下來。空格應填入表示「口述、口授內容」的名詞。

解題方法

先看代名詞 His 指的是上帝,再依前句「God wrote it」判斷後句是在說:作者只是代上帝記錄祂口授的內容。因此,dictation(口述、口授的內容)最符合語意;wrote His dictation 即「寫下祂口授的內容」。

  1. Choose the appropriate answer for the fifth blank.
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「動詞片語的語意」與「上下文推論」。第五格描述《湯姆叔叔的小屋》對南北戰爭爆發的影響,須依前後文判斷動詞片語的意思。

解題方法

前文提到這本書在北方引發反奴隸制的浪潮;後文也說林肯曾詢問斯托夫人,是否就是「她的書引發了這場大戰的小個子女士」。因此句意是:這本書促成了南北戰爭的爆發。

空格所在句為:

Uncle Tom’s Cabin ____ the start of the Civil War between the North and the South.

其中 contribute to 表示「促成、對……有所貢獻」,後接名詞片語 the start of the Civil War,語意及用法都相符。

I feel ____ to be elected as the president of the students’ association.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考形容詞的語意與常見搭配。句型是 feel + 形容詞,表示「感到……」;空格處要放入能表達「感到有幸、感到榮幸」的形容詞。

解題方法

句意為:「我覺得能當選學生會會長是一種……。」學生會會長是由選舉產生的職位,當選者可說是獲得一種榮幸或殊榮,因此選 privileged。常見搭配為 feel privileged to + 原形動詞,表示「覺得有幸能……」。

選項分析

  • (A) preventive:預防的、防止的,常見搭配如 preventive measures(預防措施)。語意不能表達當選帶來的榮幸。
  • (B) privileged:有特權的;

解題方法

先看句型:can 後面接原形動詞;再看後面的受詞 temperatures,以及關係子句 that would kill other species,可知這裡描述螞蟻能承受極端溫度。符合句意的字是 tolerate。

選項分析

  • (A) absorb:吸收。常用於吸收水分、熱量或資訊;不表示承受足以致死的溫度。
  • (B) omit:省略、遺漏。

Many western countries consider a close embrace and kiss a normal greeting, whereas greetings in other countries may not ____ touching at all.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考單字語意與句意判讀。句子比較西方國家的問候方式與其他國家的問候習慣,空格後的 touching 指「身體接觸」,要選能表達「包含、涉及」的動詞。

解題方法

前半句指出,許多西方國家認為擁抱和親吻是正常的問候方式;後半句以 whereas(然而、相對地)轉折,表示其他國家的問候方式可能完全不涉及身體接觸。

因此,空格應填 involve,句意為:「許多西方國家認為親密的擁抱和親吻是正常的問候方式,而其他國家的問候可能完全不涉及身體接觸。」

選項分析

  • (A) acquaint:使熟悉、使認識。常用於 acquaint someone with something,意為「使某人熟悉某事」;

解題方法

關鍵在於 to run for the position of prime minister(競選總理職位),這是政治人物的志向或目標。ambition 表示「抱負、野心、志向」,因此 abandoned his ambition to run for ... 就是「放棄競選……的抱負」,符合句意。

解題方法

先看空格後的結構:____ them to do their best work,即「__他們去做最好的工作」。motivate + 人 + to + 原形動詞 表示「激勵某人去做某事」,符合句意。

選項分析

  • (A) motivate:正確。 意為「激勵、促使」。motivate them to do their best work 就是「激勵他們把工作做到最好」。

解題方法

先依上下文判斷語意:大火引發一連串強烈事件,並造成大量人員死亡,最符合「爆炸」。再檢查形式:a series of 後接複數名詞,因此答案應為 explosions。選項 B 提供單數名詞 explosion,放入空格後可寫成 a series of powerful explosion,但此處搭配不合標準用法;正確句型應為 a series of powerful explosions。

解題方法

先看語境:「那些竊馬賊很快就會回來。」既然可能需要用槍應對,就應讓槍保持在方便取用、就在手邊的狀態。handy 可表示「方便使用的、近在手邊的」,符合句意。

解題方法

先看空格後的 fatty food from your diet,可判斷空格需要能表示「把某物從某處去除」的動詞。四個選項中,eliminate 有「消除、去除」之意,且可用於 eliminate something from ...,符合句意及搭配。

全句意思為:「如果你體重過重,就應該從飲食中去除高脂肪食物。」

【題組共用題幹】

A recreational vehicle is a large vehicle designed for people to live and sleep in when they are traveling on the road. Many recreational vehicles today are equipped with bedding, cookware, and furniture. Therefore, they have made it possible to combine nonstop travel with a real home. They become a home as well as a base where different lifestyles find a way to go on. Simply close your eyes and imagine the free roving life on wheels. Are you itching for such a choice now?

As a matter of fact, living and traveling in recreational vehicles is becoming a trend in many countries around the world. Ironically, this boom is fueled by a new coronavirus disease since a lot of people agree that one way of dealing with it is to buy a recreational vehicle. Nevertheless, even if you simply decide to become a part-time recreational vehicle traveler, there are still some issues that you have to deal cautiously with.

To begin with, you should avoid biting off more than what you can chew. Do not go over budget when you purchase a recreational vehicle. Moreover, just because you can afford a new recreational vehicle, this does not mean that you have no other expenses to cover. Oil, fuel, tires, insurance, and turnpike fees will all cost you a great sum of money. You may also have to take care of various problems, such as staying alive on the highway, finding acceptable campsites, encountering mechanical breakdowns, and even putting up with rainy days and campground neighbors. If you find the above problems conquerable, you may hit the road now, either alone or with people on the same wavelength. Wish you safe miles!

What is the best title for this passage?

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「主旨與標題判斷」。標題應涵蓋全文的主要內容,而不能只抓住其中一個例子或某個細節。文章先介紹休閒露營車(RV)旅行的吸引力,再說明購車與旅行前須考量的費用及實際問題。

解題方法

先整理各段重點:

  • 第一段:RV 提供住宿與生活機能,讓旅行者享有像在家生活的自由。
  • 第二段:疫情帶動 RV 旅行風潮,並提醒讀者即使兼職旅行也得審慎面對相關問題。
  • 第三段:列出購車預算、油料、輪胎、保險、過路費,以及營地、故障、天候等考量。

因此,全文同時談到 RV 旅行的優點與購買、旅行前的考量。最能概括兩部分內容的是 (B) Advantages of Traveling in RVs and Purchase Considerations。

選項分析

  • (A) Annoying Problems with Living and Traveling in RVs. 「在 RV 中生活與旅行的惱人問題」只涵蓋後段列出的費用和實際困難,忽略第一段所介紹的旅行自由與居住便利,也未完整呈現全文。

Which of the following statements is true according to this passage?

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題測驗閱讀理解與細節判斷。解題重點是將選項內容與文章明確資訊逐一比對,特別留意數量、因果關係及建議語氣是否被選項扭曲。

解題方法

先找出文章的主旨與關鍵細節,再核對各選項:

  • 文章指出,許多休旅車備有床具、炊具和家具。
  • 旅途中除了購車費用,還要負擔油料、輪胎、保險及道路通行費等支出。
  • 新冠肺炎疫情帶動休旅車旅遊風潮,文章沒有說休旅車旅遊造成疫情。
  • 作者提醒購車不要超出預算。

符合文章內容的是 (B)。

選項分析

  • (A) 錯誤。 文章說:「Many recreational vehicles today are equipped with bedding, cookware, and furniture.」意思是現在許多休旅車配有床具、炊具和家具。選項卻說「很少」,與原文的 many(許多)相反。

What does the phrase “biting off more than what you can chew” in the passage most likely mean?

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考英文慣用語 bite off more than one can chew 的語意。字面上是「咬下比自己能嚼的更多」,引申為「承擔超過自己能力所及的事情」。

解題方法

先看慣用語所在的上下文。文章提醒購買休旅車時不要超出預算,也要考量油料、保險、過路費等支出,以及露營地選擇、車輛故障等問題。因此,這句話是在勸讀者量力而為,不要承擔自己無法應付的負擔。

選項分析

  • (A) Talking about something embarrassing.「談論令人尷尬的事」:與慣用語及文章談論的購車負擔無關。

Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage as a concern of traveling in a recreational vehicle?

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考閱讀理解中的「細節辨識」:依題幹找出文章沒有提到的旅遊考量。作答時要區分文章實際寫出的事項與看似合理、但文中未提及的內容。

解題方法

先定位第二、三段列出的旅行問題與費用,再將各選項逐一對照:

  • 費用:汽油、輪胎、保險及通行費。
  • 旅途問題:在公路上維持安全、尋找合適營地、機械故障、雨天及營地鄰居。

其中沒有提到日常烹飪食譜,因此選該選項。

選項分析

  • (A) Price of gasoline. 文章提到 “Oil, fuel”,包含汽油等燃料費用,屬於旅行開銷,文中有提及。
  • (B) Road safety issues. 文章提到 “staying alive on the highway”,意指在公路上注意安全,文中有提及。

What does the pronoun “it” in the second paragraph refer to?

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考代名詞指涉。判斷英文代名詞所指對象時,要留意它的先行詞、單複數與文意是否相符。

解題方法

第二段句子:「Ironically, this boom is fueled by a new coronavirus disease since a lot of people agree that one way of dealing with it is to buy a recreational vehicle.」

此處的 it 出現在「dealing with it」(應對它、處理它)中。往前看,句子提到 a new coronavirus disease;依文意,人們認為購買休閒車是應對新冠疾病的一種方式,因此 it 指 a new coronavirus disease。

核心觀念

本題考動詞字義與上下文搭配。句意是:「如果你的同事不先想出解決問題的方法就一直抱怨,可能會讓人覺得很煩。」關鍵是 without thinking of a resolution(沒有想到解決方法)與 annoying(令人厭煩),都暗示同事是在「抱怨」。

解題方法

先看空格後的情境:同事沒有提出解決方案,卻對問題有所反應;再看前半句 come off as annoying,表示這種行為在別人眼中可能令人厭煩。因此,空格應填表示「抱怨、發牢騷」的動詞。四個選項中,whine 符合此意。

whines 是第三人稱單數現在式,主詞 your colleague 為單數,文法也相符。

Jennifer is very nervous about her new job because she has a ____ period of two months before her contract is made permanent.

核心觀念

本題考職場英文中的固定搭配 probationary period,意思是「試用期間」。句中提到 Jennifer 的新工作有兩個月的期間,等這段期間結束後,合約才會轉為正式聘用,符合「試用期」的語意。

解題方法

第 46 題

The fishing boat slowly sank into the ocean after it accidentally crashed into a hidden ____.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「船隻撞上某物」的英文語意搭配。句意是:漁船意外撞上隱藏的某物後,慢慢沉入海中。空格應填入能造成船隻嚴重損壞、使其沉沒的物體。

解題方法

先看前後文線索:主詞是 The fishing boat(漁船),動詞片語 crashed into 表示「撞上」,結果是 slowly sank into the ocean(慢慢沉入海中)。四個選項中,只有 iceberg(冰山)符合可能撞擊船隻並導致沉沒的情境;hidden iceberg 即「隱藏的冰山」。

第 47 題

The architect has drawn a(n) ____ to show us what the building will look like when it’s finished.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考單字的字義與語境判斷。句意是:「建築師畫了一個__,讓我們看看這棟建築完工後會是什麼樣子。」空格應填入表示「草圖、素描」的名詞。

解題方法

關鍵在 drawn(畫了)以及 to show us what the building will look like when it’s finished(讓我們看建築完工後的樣子)。建築師會先畫出建築的草圖,供人預覽設計,因此選 sketch。

第 48 題

Sammy is a(n) ____ boy; he does whatever his mother tells him to do.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考形容詞的字義判斷。句中 he does whatever his mother tells him to do 表示「他照母親吩咐的去做」,空格要填能形容「服從、順從」的字。

解題方法

先抓住句子的關鍵線索:Sammy 會照母親的吩咐行事,因此他是個「聽話的男孩」。符合這個意思的形容詞是 obedient。

選項分析

  • (A) decisive:果斷的、決斷的,形容做決定時乾脆明確,與服從母親的吩咐無關。

第 49 題

According to the advertisement, applying eye cream daily can ____ wrinkles around the eyes.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「動詞與受詞的語意搭配」。句意是:「根據廣告,每天使用眼霜可以 ____ 眼周皺紋。」要選能表達「預防皺紋」的動詞。

解題方法

先看空格後的受詞 wrinkles(皺紋),再依句意判斷眼霜每天使用所帶來的效果。廣告宣稱眼霜能避免皺紋產生,因此應填入表示「預防、阻止」的 prevent。

選項分析

  • (A) allow:允許、使得……可以。allow wrinkles 會變成「允許皺紋」,不符合保養品預防皺紋的語意。
  • (B) prevent:預防、阻止。
