Trump afirma que Rusia trabajará “inmediatamente” para lograr un cese del fuego tras la llamada; Putin parece impasible

Para el presidente Donald Trump, la llamada telefónica del lunes con el presidente de Rusia Vladimir Putin representó un acontecimiento trascendental, destinado a confirmar la disposición de su homólogo a poner fin al conflicto en Ucrania.

Para Putin, pareció un evento mucho menos trascendental. A diferencia de Trump, quien mantuvo la conversación de dos horas desde la Oficina Oval y adelantó la llamada con mayúsculas en redes sociales, Putin no tenía libre su agenda. Llamó desde una escuela para niños superdotados en el balneario de Sochi, en el mar Negro, y le hizo un hueco a Trump durante un recorrido por las instalaciones.

Después, quedó claro que cada uno consideró la llamada con diferentes niveles de importancia. Mientras Trump proclamó en una publicación optimista en redes sociales que la llamada “salió muy bien” y que Rusia y Ucrania habían acordado “iniciar negociaciones inmediatas para un cese del fuego”, Putin dejó claro en sus propios comentarios que no cedía en sus exigencias maximalistas de poner fin a la violencia.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題測驗西班牙文新聞報導的中譯能力,重點包括:

  • 新聞標題的簡潔表達與引號語氣。
  • 關係子句與分詞片語的修飾關係。
  • 時態辨識:簡單過去式、未完成過去式。
  • 慣用語與外交新聞詞彙的準確翻譯。
  • 保留原文的對比語氣、敘事立場及政治用語強度。

本題屬語言翻譯題,不涉及法條、公式或選項判斷。

解題方法

翻譯時依照「先辨識句構,再處理語意,最後調整中文新聞語氣」的順序:

  1. 先確認標題與三段正文的主詞、動詞及修飾對象。
  2. 將西班牙文長句拆分為符合中文習慣的短句。
  3. 對外交及政治詞彙採取穩定、正式的新聞用語。
  4. 對慣用語採語意翻譯,避免逐字直譯造成中文不自然。
  5. 保留 Trump 與 Putin 對同一通電話之重視程度不同的核心對比。

重要詞句解析

1. trabajará “inmediatamente” para lograr un cese del fuego

  • trabajará para...:將努力以達成……
  • lograr:實現、達成。
  • cese del fuego:停火。

此處的 inmediatamente 加上引號,帶有強調或報導中引用原話的意味,可譯為「立即」或「立刻」。

2. representó un acontecimiento trascendental

  • representó:代表、構成。
  • acontecimiento trascendental:重大事件、具有重大意義的事件。

此處不宜直譯為「超越性的事件」,應依新聞語境譯為「重大事件」。

3. destinado a confirmar la disposición de su homólogo

  • destinado a...:旨在……、意在……
  • disposición:意願、意向。
  • su homólogo:其對等者、同僚;此處指俄羅斯總統 Putin。

整體為「旨在確認其對等者結束烏克蘭衝突的意願」。

4. no tenía libre su agenda

字面為「他的行程表沒有空」,實際意思是「行程並非空閒」或「並未特別空出時間」。

5. le hizo un hueco a Trump

hacer un hueco a alguien 是慣用語,表示「撥出時間給某人」「在行程中挪出空檔」。不可譯為「替 Trump 找了一個洞」。

6. quedó claro que...

表示「很明顯的是……」「後來清楚可見……」,常用於新聞敘事中引出事件結果。

7. no cedía en sus exigencias maximalistas

  • ceder en...:在……方面讓步。
  • exigencias maximalistas:最大化要求、強硬要求。

美中互降關稅 美媒:短期貨運激增秋季物價恐上漲

(中央社記者賈金山 12 日專電)美中會談後互降關稅,美國財經媒體 CNBC 分析,預期接下來 4 至 6 週,從中國到美國的貨運量將激增,進口商搶著大量備貨之下,將面臨更高運費成本,消費者未來仍將面臨更高物價,有企業預期秋季出貨商品將調漲。

美中結束貿易談判,美國對中國商品關稅稅率從 145% 調降至 30%,除 10% 基準關稅外,先前因中國未積極處理芬太尼(Fentanyl)問題加徵的 20% 關稅並未取消。雙方同意 90 天內不再調高或新增關稅並展開談判,未來仍充滿不確定性。

  • 「預期……將……」可譯為:se preveˊ que ...se\ prevé\ que\ ... 或 se espera que ...se\ espera\ que\ ...
  • 「恐上漲」不是確定事實,宜使用 podrıˊan subirpodrían\ subir 或 se teme que subanse\ teme\ que\ suban。

標題

美中互降關稅,美國媒體:短期貨運量將激增,秋季物價恐上漲

Reducción recíproca de aranceles entre Estados Unidos y China; medios estadounidenses: el volumen de carga se disparará a corto plazo y los precios podrían subir en otoño.

正文第一段

(中央社記者賈金山 12 日專電)美中會談後互降關稅,美國財經媒體 CNBC 分析,預期接下來 4 至 6 週,從中國到美國的貨運量將激增,進口商搶著大量備貨之下,將面臨更高運費成本,消費者未來仍將面臨更高物價,有企業預期秋季出貨商品將調漲。

(Despacho especial de la Agencia Central de Noticias, por el periodista Jia Jinshan, día 12)Tras las conversaciones entre Estados Unidos y China, ambos países redujeron mutuamente sus aranceles. El medio financiero estadounidense CNBC estima que, durante las próximas cuatro a seis semanas, el volumen de carga transportada de China a Estados Unidos se disparará. Ante la carrera de los importadores por abastecerse en grandes cantidades, estos tendrán que afrontar mayores costos de flete, por lo que los consumidores seguirán enfrentándose a precios más elevados. Algunas empresas prevén aumentar los precios de los productos que se envíen en otoño.

正文第二段

美中結束貿易談判,美國對中國商品關稅稅率從 145% 調降至 30%,除 10% 基準關稅外,先前因中國未積極處理芬太尼(Fentanyl)問題加徵的 20% 關稅並未取消。雙方同意 90 天內不再調高或新增關稅並展開談判,未來仍充滿不確定性。

Tras concluir las negociaciones comerciales entre Estados Unidos y China, la tasa arancelaria estadounidense aplicable a los productos chinos se redujo del 145 % al 30 %. Además del arancel básico del 10 %, no se eliminó el arancel adicional del 20 % impuesto anteriormente debido a la falta de medidas contundentes por parte de China para abordar el problema del fentanilo (Fentanyl). Ambas partes acordaron no aumentar los aranceles ni imponer nuevos gravámenes durante 90 días y entablar negociaciones. El futuro sigue estando lleno de incertidumbre.

翻譯重點解析

1. 「互降關稅」

「互降」表示雙方相互降低,不宜只譯成單方面的 reducir los arancelesreducir\ los\ aranceles。

  • reduccioˊn recıˊproca de arancelesreducción\ recíproca\ de\ aranceles:適合標題或名詞片語。
  • ambos paıˊses redujeron mutuamente sus arancelesambos\ países\ redujeron\ mutuamente\ sus\ aranceles:適合正文完整敘述。

2. 「貨運量將激增」

se dispararaˊse\ disparará 有「大幅增加、激增」之意,比單純的 aumentaraˊaumentará 更能表現「激增」。

完整搭配為:

el volumen de carga transportada de China a Estados Unidos se dispararaˊel\ volumen\ de\ carga\ transportada\ de\ China\ a\ Estados\ Unidos\ se\ disparará

其中 de China a Estados Unidosde\ China\ a\ Estados\ Unidos 清楚呈現貨物流向。

3. 「搶著大量備貨」

「搶著」不是單純的「購買」,而是各進口商競相提前準備貨品,因此可譯為:

登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查西班牙文議論短文(comentario)的寫作能力,重點包括:

  • 能否正確掌握 Trump 移民政策的主要方向。
  • 能否使用因果、轉折及表達意見的句型。
  • 能否兼顧正反觀點,形成具邏輯性的評論。
  • 必須控制篇幅為約 150 字,並避免只列舉政策而缺乏個人立場。

本題不以背誦法條為核心,應以「政策內容—支持理由—批評意見—個人結論」建立文章架構。

解題方法

建議採四段式思路:

  1. 提出主旨:指出 Trump 移民政策重視邊境管制、國家安全及減少非法移民。
  2. 說明具體措施:提及強化美墨邊境、增加遣返、限制庇護及打擊未經許可入境。
  3. 分析正反意見:先寫支持者認為可保障就業與治安,再指出批評者關注家庭分離及人權問題。
  4. 提出個人立場:承認國家有管理邊境的權利,但必須兼顧正當程序、人格尊嚴與國際合作。

文章應使用現在式,並善用「Sin embargo(然而)」、「Además(此外)」、「En mi opinión(依我之見)」等銜接語,使論述自然完整。

In Pakistan, an airplane was briefly ____ when a passenger was suspected of being infected with H5N1.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「隔離、檢疫」相關字彙。句意是:在巴基斯坦,一名乘客被懷疑感染 H5N1,於是飛機短暫地被__。描述為防止疾病傳播而暫時限制移動,應使用 quarantine,意為「隔離、檢疫」。

解題方法

When Mr. and Mrs. Smith stayed at a hotel, they took ____ rooms for themselves and their two children.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查住宿情境中的形容詞搭配。adjacent 表示「相鄰的、毗鄰的」,可用來描述彼此相鄰的房間。題幹提到史密斯夫婦帶著兩名孩子入住飯店,語意上需要為家人安排相鄰的房間。

解題方法

先看空格後的名詞 rooms,再判斷哪個選項既能修飾「房間」,也符合家人入住飯店的情境。adjacent rooms 是自然搭配,指「相鄰的房間」。

選項分析

  • (A) adjacent:正確。 意為「相鄰的」,adjacent rooms 即「相鄰的房間」,符合一家人入住時方便彼此照應的情境。
  • **(B) glutinous:錯誤。

If a foreign banker knowingly assisted a taxpayer in concealing a foreign account or evading taxes, the banker can be charged with conspiracy to ____ the Ministry of Finance.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考英文搭配詞與句意判讀。conspiracy to defraud 是常見法律用語,意為「共謀詐欺」或「串謀欺騙」。句中指出外國銀行家明知而協助納稅人隱匿海外帳戶或逃漏稅,因此所描述的是銀行家與納稅人共同欺騙財政部。

解題方法

先看空格前的 conspiracy to:to 後方應接動詞原形。再依句意判斷,銀行家協助隱匿帳戶、逃漏稅,目的在欺騙財政部,因此應填 defraud。選項 (B) fraud 是名詞,置於空格後會形成 to fraud,文法不合;此處官方答案所指的字義是「詐欺」,但若嚴格依原句文法,應寫成 conspiracy to defraud the Ministry of Finance。

選項分析

  • (A) authorize:動詞,意為「授權、批准」。conspiracy to authorize the Ministry of Finance 是「共謀授權財政部」,與隱匿帳戶、逃漏稅的情境不符。

解題方法

先判斷空格需要填入何種行為:行政命令停止對這些子女採取某項處置。四個選項中,deportation 意為「驅逐出境」,與移民行政及句子語意相符;「停止驅逐出境」也能構成完整、自然的句意。

解題方法

句型為 deter someone from doing something,意思是「阻止某人做某事、使某人不敢做某事」。空格後的 hackers and cybercriminals 是受到影響的人,from invading our profiles 則說明要阻止的行為,因此應選 deter。

We live at a time in which societies are becoming increasingly ____ and multicultural. And, globalization forces us to interact across national, cultural, religious and other boundaries.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「描述社會組成與多元性」的字義判讀。空格後接 and multicultural(且具多元文化特色),因此前面的形容詞應與社會的多樣組成相呼應。heterogeneous 意為「異質的、多元組成的」,符合句意。

解題方法

句意是:「我們生活在一個社會日益__且多元文化的時代。全球化迫使我們跨越國家、文化、宗教等界線互動。」

先看語意搭配:社會變得多元文化,也表示其成員背景與組成愈來愈多樣。因此選擇表示「組成多樣、異質」的 heterogeneous。

選項分析

  • (A) equivocal:意為「模稜兩可的、含糊的」,通常形容說法、態度或證據;不符合此處描述社會組成的語意。

本題考英文單字的語意,以及依上下文判斷最合適的名詞。句中提到 Van Gogh 因情緒痛苦而進入某處接受照護,關鍵字是 entered(進入)及 moods of indescribable anguish(難以形容的痛苦情緒)。因此,空格應填入與精神照護機構相關的字。

解題方法

先看句意:1889 年春天,Van Gogh 在經歷割下左耳的事件後,因情緒痛苦而進入 Saint-Remy 的一所機構。四個選項中,asylum 可指收容或照護精神疾病患者的機構,符合上下文。

解題方法

先看空格前的 not,再比較各選項帶入後是否符合句意與慣用語:

Today, it is not uncommon for younger speakers in Taiwan to be equally fluent in Taiwanese and Mandarin.

其中 uncommon 是「不常見的、罕見的」;not uncommon 表示「並不罕見」,與句子描述的現象相符。

Social media has significantly transformed our communication methods by ____ both virality and efficiency.

核心觀念

本題考字義與搭配詞。句意是:「社群媒體透過提升(某些特質),大幅改變了我們的溝通方式。」空格後的 both virality and efficiency 表示「傳播的快速擴散性與效率」,因此應選能與這兩項正面特質搭配的動詞。

解題方法

先看句意方向:社群媒體改變溝通方式,原因是它讓訊息更容易迅速傳播,也使溝通更有效率。選項中,enhance 有「提升、增進」之意,搭配 virality 和 efficiency 語意自然。

句型結構為 by + 動名詞,表示「藉由……」;因此空格須填入動詞的 -ing 形式。四個選項皆符合形式,應以語意及搭配詞判斷。

選項分析

  • (A) endangering:endanger 是「危及、使遭受危險」。endangering both virality and efficiency 意為「危及傳播性與效率」,與句中社群媒體改善溝通方式的正向脈絡不合。

Scientists have observed that certain phenomena seem to occur before an earthquake as the pressure within the plates intensifies. Myriads of tiny cracks appear in the rock, causing it to expand and uplift the ground above it. The pressure squeezes water out of the rock, thereby ____ nearby water levels. Also the rock becomes more resistant to electric current, and radon gas is released. Scientists hope that these ____ phenomena will provide keys to predict when and where an earthquake will occur, thereby enabling them to warn people to evacuate the area. While the earthquake itself cannot be prevented, at least lives may be saved.

  1. Earthquakes are caused by the movement of 50-mile-thick plates that comprise the earth’s crust. More than two thousand earthquakes occur daily somewhere on our planet, but about 95 percent of them are too weak to be felt ____ sensitive seismometers.
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考介系詞與句意判讀。句中 too ... to be felt except by ... 表示「太……以致於只有……才能感覺到」;except by sensitive seismometers 意為「除了靠靈敏的地震儀之外」。

解題方法

先看空格後的 sensitive seismometers(靈敏的地震儀)是「感覺到地震」的工具,再依句意補入表示「除了透過……以外」的片語:

這些地震太微弱,除了靠靈敏的地震儀之外,無法被察覺。

句型可整理為 too + 形容詞 + to be + 過去分詞 + except by + 工具。

選項分析

  • (A) accepting by:accepting 是「接受」或「樂於接受的」,無法構成「由……感覺到」的意思,且不符合句子的語意與用法。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考察關係代名詞與介系詞片語的搭配。句中主詞是 ____ are felt by humans,空格後的 are felt 是複數被動語態;後半句 most cause relatively little damage 則補充說明這些被人感受到的地震大多造成的損害不大。

解題方法

前文提到每天發生的地震中,約 95% 弱到連靈敏的地震儀都測不到。接著要說的是:「在那些會被人類感受到的地震之中,大多數造成的損害相對很小。」因此空格須表達「那些會被人感受到的地震之中」。

選項分析

  • (A) Of those:those 可代替前文提到的地震,但後面直接接 are felt by humans 時,缺少引導「哪些地震」的關係詞。依題目句意應是「那些會被人感受到的地震之中」,須有 that 引出關係子句。
  • (B) Among them that:them 是受格代名詞,不能直接接 that 來構成修飾它的關係子句;

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查分詞形容詞與被動語態的判斷。空格位於:

particularly if they occur in sparsely ____ areas

其中,areas 是名詞,空格需填入能修飾它的形容詞或分詞形容詞。語意是「人口稀少的地區」。

inhabit 表示「居住於」,inhabitant 表示「居民」,inhabited 表示「有人居住的、有人口的」。

解題方法

判斷空格前的副詞 sparsely 所修飾的內容。sparsely 意為「稀疏地、少量地」,常與過去分詞 inhabited 搭配:

sparsely inhabited areas 人口稀少的地區

inhabited 原本是動詞 inhabit 的過去分詞,在此作形容詞使用,表示「被人居住的」。因此:

areas are sparsely inhabited 這些地區人口稀少

將其轉為名詞片語後,即為:

sparsely inhabited areas

完整句意為:

尤其是在地廣人稀的地區,地震通常造成的損害相對較小。

選項分析

(A) inhabiting

inhabiting 是現在分詞,表示「正在居住」。若置入句中,會形成 sparsely inhabiting areas,文法上使 areas 成為「居住者」,語意不合;地區本身不是稀疏地居住某物的主體。因此錯誤。

(B) inhabit

核心觀念

本題考「分詞片語」的用法。句中 thereby 是副詞,意為「因此、藉此」;其後的 raising nearby water levels 是現在分詞片語,補充說明前句「水被擠出岩石」所造成的結果。此處 raising 相當於「從而提高」。

解題方法

先找出主要句子的動詞:The pressure squeezes water out of the rock(壓力把水從岩石中擠出)。逗號後的 thereby ____ nearby water levels 不是另一個完整子句,因為前面沒有連接詞,也沒有新的主詞;空格應填現在分詞,形成結果補充語:

Earthquakes are caused by the movement of 50-mile-thick plates that comprise the earth’s crust. More than two thousand earthquakes occur daily somewhere on our planet, but about 95 percent of them are too weak to be felt ____ sensitive seismometers. ____ are felt by humans, most cause relatively little damage, particularly if they occur in sparsely ____ areas.

Scientists have observed that certain phenomena seem to occur before an earthquake as the pressure within the plates intensifies. Myriads of tiny cracks appear in the rock, causing it to expand and uplift the ground above it. The pressure squeezes water out of the rock, thereby ____ nearby water levels. Also the rock becomes more resistant to electric current, and radon gas is released. Scientists hope that these ____ phenomena will provide keys to predict when and where an earthquake will occur, thereby enabling them to warn people to evacuate the area. While the earthquake itself cannot be prevented, at least lives may be saved.

  1. Scientists hope that these ____ phenomena will provide keys to predict when and where an earthquake will occur, thereby enabling them to warn people to evacuate the area.
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「詞性判斷」與「字義辨析」。

句型為:

Scientists hope that these ____ phenomena will provide keys to predict...

空格位於指示形容詞 these 與名詞 phenomena 之間,應填入形容詞,修飾 phenomena。

文意指出,地震前出現的地質現象包括岩石裂縫、地面隆起、水位變化、電阻增加及氡氣釋放等。這些現象彼此具有關聯性,因此應使用 interrelated,表示「彼此相關的、相互關聯的」。

解題方法

先判斷空格的詞性:

these+形容詞+phenomenathese + \text{形容詞} + phenomena

因此空格須填形容詞,再根據上下文判斷語意。

句意為:

科學家希望這些彼此相關的現象,能提供預測地震發生時間與地點的線索。

「這些現象」是前文所列的地震前兆,彼此共同反映地震發生前板塊內部壓力的變化,故使用 interrelated 最符合語意。

選項分析

(A) interrelated:正確。

interrelated 是形容詞,意為「彼此相關的、相互關聯的」。 interrelated phenomena 表示「彼此相關的現象」,符合前文各種地震前兆之間具有關聯性的語意。

完整句意為:

科學家希望這些彼此相關的現象,能提供預測地震何時何地發生的線索。

(B) interrelate:錯誤。

interrelate 是動詞,意為「使相互關聯」或「相互關聯」。本題空格位於名詞 phenomena 前,必須使用形容詞修飾名詞,因此不能填入動詞 **interre

【題組共用題幹】

There are basically two types of stress placed on human beings. One type involves physical activity and its demands; the other type is the result of mental and emotional demands. Whether physical or emotional in origin, stress causes the body to react in similar ways. In the first stage, your body prepares to meet the stress. The heartbeat and respiration rates increase, and the pupils of the eyes dilate; the blood sugar level increases, and the perspiration rate speeds up, while digestion slows down as blood and muscular activity is diverted elsewhere. In the second stage, your body returns to normal and repairs any damage caused by the stressful situation. However, if stress continues, the body cannot repair itself, and the final stage, exhaustion, then begins. If this stage continues, physical and emotional damage will occur. These stages of stress reaction are generally the same, whether the stress is caused by a cross-country run, a first date, buying a house, or narrowly missing an automobile accident.

Stress from physical activity, if not carried too far, is actually beneficial. Probably most harmful of all stresses is guilt. This common emotion is useful to have when it helps us realize that we have, in fact, committed some error, violated our own rules or social norms. If we did not feel guilt, we would never do anything except the things that brought us immediate pleasure—we’d never obey the law, work, or even study in school, unless we wanted to do so in the first place. As a person’s conscience develops, guilt feelings become inevitable; guilt is the sorrow we experience when we know we have done something incorrect.

Many of us as children learned rules that we no longer need. For instance, a successful business person needs not feel guilty about spending a little too much money on a vacation, or should she/he feel guilty that she/he can combine a business trip with some swimming and golf at an ocean resort. But many people do feel guilty over such apparently innocent actions. Excessive guilt can make life not worth living; guilt can cause self-hatred as well as other fears and anxieties that cause all life’s successes to be bittersweet, at best.

Guilt and the worry that often accompanies this major stress are difficult to eradicate, but people subject to excessive guilt feelings should realize, as simple as it sounds, that no one is perfect. People cannot always be cheerful and helpful to everyone they meet. Another good lesson is that mistakes should be forgotten, not lingered over and brought out to examine periodically.

A life without stress would be boring. Just as we need a little guilt to keep us correct, and a little worry to make us plan ahead, we need a little stress to stay interested in life. But, when stress begins to bother you, change your routine. Take your mind off your worries with some activities, whether tennis, yoga, gardening, or meditation. Or talk your worries over with someone else; you may discover a solution you had overlooked before.

  1. What is the best title for the passage?
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查英文閱讀中的主旨與標題判斷。標題應涵蓋全文主要內容,而不是只概括某一段或某一個例子。

文章先說明壓力的來源與身體反應,再介紹適度壓力及罪惡感的作用與負面影響,最後提出應對壓力的方法。因此,合適的標題須同時涵蓋壓力的成因、反應與管理。

解題方法

快速整理各段功能:

  • 第一段:壓力的類型、身體反應,以及壓力持續時的影響。
  • 第二至四段:罪惡感這種心理壓力的作用、過度罪惡感的傷害,以及調整觀念的方法。
  • 第五段:適度壓力的必要性,以及透過活動或與人談話來管理壓力。

全文並非只談如何逃離壓力,也不只討論生理或心理壓力其中一類;它從壓力的原因與表現談到因應方式,故選 (B)。

選項分析

(A) Key findings about stress(關於壓力的關鍵發現) 範圍過於籠統。「關鍵發現」沒有指出文章的具體重點,無法像 (B) 一樣涵蓋壓力的成因、症狀與管理。

核心觀念

本題考查閱讀理解,需從文章中比對各選項陳述是否與原文相符。題目問哪一項「不正確」(NOT true)。

解題方法

先抓文章明確陳述,再逐項核對:

  • 第一段指出,壓力反應時呼吸速率會增加。
  • 第二段說明,適度的罪惡感有助於人察覺錯誤、遵守規範。
  • 第三段指出,有些人會因看似無害的行為而感到罪惡。
  • 第四段表示,罪惡感常伴隨憂慮。

因此,與文章意思相反的選項就是答案。

選項分析

  • (A) Worry often accompanies guilt. 正確。第四段提到「the worry that often accompanies this major stress」,指出憂慮常伴隨罪惡感。

  1. We can conclude from this passage that ____.
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考閱讀理解與推論,重點是抓出文章對「壓力」與「罪惡感」的主旨,並分辨選項是否把文意說得過度、顛倒或無據。文章指出,適度壓力有助於維持生活興趣;罪惡感能提醒人察覺錯誤,但過度罪惡感會造成傷害。

解題方法

先找能由文章直接支持的敘述,再排除與原文相反或加入文章未提資訊的選項。第三段提到,人們常因童年學到、如今已不必遵守的規則,對度假花費或出差兼度假等無害行為感到罪惡。這表示罪惡感有時來自個人內在對規則的要求,而非行為本身必然有錯,因此可推論罪惡感常是自我引發的。

選項分析

  • (A) a stress-free life would be ideal:錯。文章明確說「沒有壓力的生活會很無聊」,並指出適度壓力能讓人對生活保持興趣。

  1. The passage suggests that ____.
這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查文章主旨與細節統整。作者指出,身體活動與心理、情緒要求都會造成壓力;壓力反應的生理階段大致相同。適度的壓力能讓人保持興趣、促使人規劃,也有助於遵守規範;壓力過度或持續太久,則會造成身心傷害。

解題方法

先抓文章對「適度」與「過度」壓力的對比:作者肯定適量壓力的功能,同時提醒長期或過量壓力有害。再核對各選項是否符合這項整體主旨。文中第二段提到適度的身體活動壓力有益,最後一段更明確指出,少量的罪惡感、憂慮與壓力能幫助人保持正確、事先規劃並對生活保持興趣,因此選項 A 的概括最完整。

選項分析

  • (A) physical and mental stress in normal amounts are advantageous to man:正確。文章指出適度壓力有助於維持生活興趣;適量罪惡感能提醒人遵守規範,適度憂慮能使人預先規劃。此處的 normal amounts 指適量,與過度、持續的壓力有所區別。
  • (B) worry often causes physical stress:錯誤。
