I. Vocabulary and Usage: Choose the best answer to each question.

The Council of Agriculture Minister said that the egg shortage will be ____ by the end of April.

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「字義辨析」與「語境搭配」。句意是:農業部長表示,雞蛋短缺的情況將在四月底前獲得補充或改善。

題幹關鍵句:

The Council of Agriculture Minister said that the egg shortage will be ____ by the end of April.
農業部長表示,雞蛋短缺將在四月底前獲得____。

空格後的主詞是 the egg shortage,整體語意需要表達「短缺情況獲得補充、改善」。依官方答案,選 replenished。


解題方法

先判斷句意:

  • egg shortage:雞蛋短缺
  • by the end of April:在四月底以前
  • 空格需要放入一個過去分詞,與助動詞 will be 構成被動語態:
    will be + 過去分詞

四個選項都是過去分詞形式,因此關鍵不在文法形式,而在字義與語境搭配:

  • 短缺狀況需要「補充、恢復供應」
  • replenish 有「補充、重新裝滿、補足」之意
  • 因此選 replenished

完整句子為:

The egg shortage will be replenished by the end of April.
雞蛋短缺將在四月底前獲得補充。


選項分析

(A) replenished

replenish 是「補充、補足、重新裝滿」,常用於補充存貨、供應品、資源等,例如:

  • replenish the food supply:補充食物供應
  • replenish the stock:補充庫存
  • replenish resources:補充資源

本題談的是雞蛋供應不足,語意上需要透過增加供應量來補足,因此 replenished 最符合官方答案與題目情境。

(B) revoked

revoke 是「撤銷、廢止、吊銷」,通常搭配:

  • revoke a license:吊銷執照
  • revoke a passport:撤銷護照
  • revoke a decision:撤銷決定

「雞蛋短缺被撤銷」不符合語意。短缺是供應不足的狀態,不是執照、權利或命令,不能使用 revoked。

(C) reproached

第 2 題2 分

World leaders meeting at the United Nations in New York ____ Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

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:

  1. 字義辨析:依照語境選出能與 Russia’s invasion of Ukraine 搭配的動詞。
  2. 句型判讀:主詞為 World leaders,meeting at the United Nations in New York 是現在分詞片語,修飾主詞,主要動詞為空格中的過去式動詞。
  3. 動詞搭配:denounce an invasion 表示「譴責一場入侵行動」,符合國際政治語境。

題幹定位與翻譯

題幹原文:

World leaders meeting at the United Nations in New York ____ Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

翻譯:

在紐約聯合國開會的世界各國領袖,____俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭的行動。

主詞是複數的 World leaders,而 meeting at the United Nations in New York 為分詞片語,意思是「正在紐約聯合國開會的」。空格需要填入一個能直接接受 Russia’s invasion of Ukraine 作為受詞的動詞。

句意應為:

在紐約聯合國開會的世界各國領袖,譴責俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭的行動。

因此選擇 denounced。

解題方法

先觀察空格後的受詞:

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

意思是「俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭的行動」。

接著將各選項代入,判斷哪個動詞在語意上能合理表示世界領袖對入侵行動的態度。國際會議中,領袖通常會「譴責」某國的侵略或入侵行為,因此:

denounced Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

即「譴責俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭」。

denounced 是 denounce 的過去式,與題幹所描述的已發生事件及複數主詞 World leaders 均能構成正確句子。

選項分析

(A) alleviated

alleviate 意為「減輕、緩和」,alleviated 是過去式。

例如:

  • alleviate pain:減輕疼痛
  • alleviate suffering:減輕苦難
  • alleviate the crisis:緩和危機

若填入本題,句子變成:

World leaders ... alleviated Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

意思是「世界領袖減輕了俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭的行動」,語意不合理。入侵行動本身不是通常可被 alleviate 直接「減輕」的對象,因此錯誤。

(B) deported

deport 意為「驅逐出境、遣返」,deported 是過去式。

例如:

第 3 題2 分

The true global death toll of Covid-19 remains difficult to nail down three years after the first case was detected. The ____ could be far higher than officially reported.

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「近義字辨析」與「語境判斷」,核心在於分辨:

  • mortality:死亡率;死亡人數或死亡情形
  • morality:道德;道德觀
  • morbidity:罹病率;患病情形
  • mobility:活動能力;移動性、流動性

題幹主題是 Covid-19 的「全球死亡總數」,因此空格應填與「死亡」相關的 mortality。

解題方法

定位答案的關鍵句是:

The true global death toll of Covid-19 remains difficult to nail down three years after the first case was detected.
Covid-19 的全球真實死亡總數,在首例被發現三年後,仍然很難確定。

下一句為:

The ____ could be far higher than officially reported.
這個數字可能遠高於官方公布的數字。

前一句的 death toll 是「死亡人數、死亡總數」,下一句的空格承接相同語意,必須選擇與死亡相關的名詞。四個選項中只有 mortality 符合。

完整句意為:

The mortality could be far higher than officially reported.
死亡人數/死亡情形可能遠高於官方報告的數字。

嚴格而言,mortality 常指「死亡率」;若要表達精確的死亡總人數,death toll 或 number of deaths 更直接。不過在本題四個選項中,只有 mortality 能與 Covid-19 死亡議題相符,且官方答案為 A,故選 A。

選項分析

(A) mortality|死亡率;死亡情形

正確。mortality 源自 mortal「會死亡的」,可指某疾病、族群或事件造成的死亡率,也可泛指死亡情形。

題幹已明確提到 global death toll,因此語意範圍集中在「死亡」及其統計數據。句型:

The mortality could be far higher than officially reported.

表示「死亡數字/死亡率可能遠高於官方報告」,符合全文語意。

(B) morality|道德;道德觀

錯誤。morality 指一個人或社會對善惡、對錯的道德標準,例如:

  • personal morality:個人道德觀
  • public morality:公共道德

Covid-19 的全球死亡總數與道德觀無關。若填入本句,會變成「道德可能遠高於官方報告」,語意不通。

(C) morbidity|罹病率;患病情形

錯誤。morbidity 與疾病、患病有關,通常指:

第 4 題2 分

Over and over again, the civic education teacher has ____ the importance of democracy in his class.

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「字義辨析」與「語意搭配」。題幹中的關鍵線索是:

Over and over again, the civic education teacher has ____ the importance of democracy in his class.
公民教育老師在課堂上一再重申民主的重要性。

片語 over and over again 表示「一再地、反覆地」,因此空格應填入具有「反覆說明、重申」之意的動詞。四個選項中,只有 reiterated 符合語意。

此外,句型為:

主詞+has+過去分詞\text{主詞}+\text{has}+\text{過去分詞}

形成現在完成式 has reiterated,表示「截至目前已經多次重申」。


解題方法

先觀察語意線索:

  • Over and over again:一再地、反覆地
  • the importance of democracy:民主的重要性
  • in his class:在他的課堂上

「在課堂上反覆強調民主的重要性」最自然的英文表達就是:

has reiterated the importance of democracy

reiterate 是及物動詞,後面可直接接受詞,常見搭配包括:

  • reiterate the importance:重申重要性
  • reiterate one’s position:重申立場
  • reiterate a warning:再次提出警告
  • reiterate a statement:重申聲明

因此完整句意為:

公民教育老師在課堂上反覆重申民主的重要性。


選項分析

(A) exonerated

exonerate 意為「證明……無罪;使……免受責難」。其常見用法是:

  • exonerate a suspect:證明嫌疑犯無罪
  • exonerate someone from blame:使某人免於責備

題幹的受詞是 the importance of democracy,意為「民主的重要性」。民主的重要性不可能被「證明無罪」或「免除責難」,語意不合,因此錯誤。


(B) reiterated

reiterate 意為「重申;反覆說明;再次強調」。

Chinese Angelica roots (Dang Gui) have few side effects. However, when used in large doses, they can have ____ effects on blood pressure and respiration.

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:

  1. 詞性判斷:空格位於名詞 effects 前,需要填入形容詞。
  2. 語意與固定搭配:表示「對……產生不良影響」時,常用 have adverse effects on ...。
  3. 字義辨析:辨別 adverse、adversary、advocate 與 adverbial 的詞性及意思。

題幹定位與翻譯

關鍵句為:

However, when used in large doses, they can have ____ effects on blood pressure and respiration.

翻譯為:

然而,當大量使用時,它們可能會對血壓和呼吸產生 ____ 的影響。

前句提到 Dang Gui「幾乎沒有副作用」,後句以 However 轉折,說明使用大劑量時可能對血壓和呼吸造成不良影響。因此空格應填入表示「不利的、有害的」的形容詞 adverse。

解題方法

先看空格後面的名詞 effects。空格需要用形容詞修飾 effects,再根據語意判斷:

  • 大劑量使用藥材,對血壓及呼吸產生的影響,應是「不利的、有害的」。
  • adverse effect 是重要固定搭配,意為「不良作用、副作用」。
  • 因此完整片語為:

have adverse effects on blood pressure and respiration
對血壓和呼吸產生不良影響

選項分析

(A) adverbial

  • adverbial 是形容詞或名詞。
  • 作形容詞時,意為「副詞的;作副詞用的」,例如 adverbial phrase(副詞片語)。
  • adverbial effects 意為「副詞性的影響」,不符合藥物對血壓及呼吸造成影響的語意。
  • 因此錯誤。

(B) adversary

  • adversary 是名詞,意為「敵手、對手」。
  • 例如:a powerful adversary(強大的對手)。
  • 本句空格需要形容詞來修飾 effects,而 adversary 本身是名詞;

第 6 題2 分

This region is so damp that moisture seems to ____ everything. Towels wouldn’t dry and windows are always foggy.

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「動詞字義辨析」與「語意搭配」。判斷關鍵在於:

This region is so damp that moisture seems to ____ everything.
這個地區非常潮濕,水氣似乎會滲透到所有事物之中。

後句「毛巾無法乾、窗戶總是起霧」說明水氣遍布環境,因此空格需要表達「滲透、瀰漫於各處」的動詞。

解題方法

句型為:

seem to + 原形動詞\text{seem to + 原形動詞}

因此四個選項在文法形式上都能接在 to 後面,真正的判斷重點是「動詞意義」及「與 moisture、everything 的搭配」。

permeate 的意思是「滲透、滲入、遍布」,可作及物動詞,常用於液體、氣體、氣味、思想等逐漸進入並充滿某個空間或物體:

  • Moisture permeates the walls.
    水氣滲入牆壁。
  • The smell of smoke permeated the room.
    煙味瀰漫整個房間。

因此 moisture seems to permeate everything 意為「水氣似乎滲透到所有東西裡」,完全符合潮濕到毛巾曬不乾、窗戶起霧的情境。

選項分析

(A) perpetrate

perpetrate 意為「犯下、實施」,通常搭配罪行、錯誤或暴行等負面行為:

  • perpetrate a crime 犯罪
  • perpetrate a fraud 實施詐騙

moisture seems to perpetrate everything 變成「水氣似乎犯下所有事情」,語意不通,因此錯誤。

(B) permeate

permeate 意為「滲透、滲入、瀰漫、遍布」。水氣能滲入毛巾、牆面及室內空氣,也能使窗戶表面凝結水霧,與題幹的潮濕環境完全相符。

moisture seems to permeate everything
水氣似乎滲透到所有事物之中。

因此本選項正確。

(C) proliferate

第 7 題2 分

When your bowel movements become less frequent and stools become difficult to pass, you may have ____.

登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查腸胃道症狀相關單字,以及根據英文語境判斷名詞的能力。

題幹描述:

When your bowel movements become less frequent and stools become difficult to pass, you may have ____.

翻譯:當你的排便變得較不頻繁,而且糞便變得難以排出時,你可能患有__。

其中,關鍵症狀是:

  • bowel movements become less frequent:排便次數變少
  • stools become difficult to pass:糞便變得難以排出

這正是 constipation(便祕) 的典型表現。

解題方法

先抓取題幹中的症狀,再與各選項的醫學定義比對:

  1. 排便頻率降低。
  2. 糞便不易排出。
  3. 兩項合併指向「便祕」。

因此空格應填入表示「便祕」的名詞 constipation。

句型上,may have + 疾病或症狀名詞,表示「可能患有……」或「可能有……」。例如:

  • You may have a fever.
    你可能發燒了。
  • You may have constipation.
    你可能有便祕。

選項分析

(A) infarction

infarction 意為「梗塞、組織因血流中斷而壞死」,常見於:

  • myocardial infarction:心肌梗塞
  • cerebral infarction:腦梗塞

梗塞是血液供應受阻造成的病理狀態,與排便次數減少、糞便難以排出並不相符,因此錯誤。

(B) constipation

constipation 意為「便祕」,指排便次數減少、糞便乾硬或排便困難。

Astragalus (Huang Qi) contains beneficial plant compounds that may ____ your immune system.

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「字義辨析」與「固定搭配」。題幹描述黃耆中的有益植物化合物對免疫系統具有正面作用,因此空格需要填入「增強、強化」之意的動詞。

句型為:

Astragalus (Huang Qi) contains beneficial plant compounds that may ____ your immune system.

其中:

  • may 是情態助動詞,後面接原形動詞。
  • reinforce your immune system 表示「強化你的免疫系統」。
  • immune system 是「免疫系統」。

解題方法

先依語意判斷:

  1. 黃耆含有有益成分。
  2. 這些成分對免疫系統產生正面影響。
  3. 空格應填入「增強、強化」的動詞。

四個選項中,只有 reinforce 符合此語意,且可自然搭配 your immune system。

題幹定位句:

Astragalus (Huang Qi) contains beneficial plant compounds that may reinforce your immune system.

翻譯為:

黃耆含有有益的植物化合物,這些化合物可能強化你的免疫系統。

選項分析

(A) reinforce 強化;增強

reinforce 是「加強、強化、鞏固」,可用於力量、結構、信念,也可用於健康或生理功能。

例如:

  • reinforce the immune system:強化免疫系統
  • reinforce the wall:加固牆壁
  • reinforce good habits:鞏固良好習慣

reinforce your immune system 在語意與搭配上都正確,因此選 A。

(B) enforce 執行;強制實施

enforce 主要表示依法執行規則、法律或命令,常見搭配包括:

第 9 題2 分

This month Taiwanese nationals and eligible foreign residents can receive NT$6,000 tax ____ from the surplus tax revenue of last year.

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:

  1. 字義辨析
  2. 固定搭配與語境判斷
  3. 名詞搭配:tax rebate

句中:

This month Taiwanese nationals and eligible foreign residents can receive NT$6,000 tax ____ from the surplus tax revenue of last year.

空格前有 tax,後方接 from the surplus tax revenue,整體語意是在說「從去年多出的稅收中,領取一筆與稅相關的 6,000 元款項」。最符合的搭配是 tax rebate,意思是「退稅、退稅款」。


題幹定位與翻譯

關鍵片語為:

can receive NT$6,000 tax rebate from the surplus tax revenue of last year

翻譯為:

可以從去年多出的稅收中領取 6,000 元的退稅款。

其中:

  • Taiwanese nationals:台灣籍人士、台灣國民
  • eligible foreign residents:符合資格的外籍居民
  • receive:收到、領取
  • tax rebate:退稅、退稅款
  • surplus tax revenue:多出的稅收、稅收盈餘
  • last year:去年

句型結構為:

主詞+can receive+名詞片語+from+來源\text{主詞}+\text{can receive}+\text{名詞片語}+\text{from}+\text{來源}

其中 NT$6,000 tax rebate 是 receive 的受詞,表示「6,000 元的退稅款」。


解題方法

先判斷空格需要的詞性。

空格位於:

NT$6,000 tax ____

在 tax 後方,需要填入一個名詞,與 tax 組成名詞片語,表示「稅款相關的款項或措施」。

再依據語意判斷:

  • 題目說民眾可以 receive,表示可以「領取」某種金錢。
  • 款項來源是去年多出的稅收。
  • 因此空格應填入表示「退還稅款」的名詞 rebate。

完整搭配為:

tax rebate

意思是「退稅款」或「稅金返還」。

因此選 (C) rebate。


選項分析

(A) attrition

attrition 是名詞,意思是:

  • 消耗
  • 磨損
  • 人員逐漸減少
  • 削弱

常見搭配包括:

  • employee attrition:員工流失
  • attrition rate:流失率
  • wear and tear through attrition:因磨損而造成的耗損

____ is a condition in which the joints become swollen and painful, making it difficult to move them.

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「疾病名稱的英文定義」與醫學相關單字辨識。題幹關鍵線索為:

“a condition in which the joints become swollen and painful, making it difficult to move them”
「一種關節腫脹且疼痛,導致關節難以活動的疾病。」

其中 joints(關節)、swollen(腫脹的)、painful(疼痛的)及 difficult to move(難以活動)都直接指向「關節發炎性疾病」——arthritis(關節炎)。

解題方法

先抓疾病症狀的主要部位:

  • 症狀發生在 joints,即關節。
  • 關節出現腫脹與疼痛,並影響活動。
  • 符合關節炎的典型描述:關節發炎、疼痛、腫脹與活動受限。

因此空格應填入 Arthritis:

Arthritis is a condition in which the joints become swollen and painful, making it difficult to move them.
關節炎是一種關節腫脹且疼痛,使人難以活動關節的疾病。

句型方面,空格後接 is,主詞應為單數疾病名稱。四個選項皆為單數形式,因此本題主要依據疾病定義與症狀判斷。

選項分析

(A) Osteoporosis(骨質疏鬆症)

錯誤。骨質疏鬆症是骨質密度降低、骨骼變得脆弱,因而容易發生骨折的疾病。其主要問題在於骨骼強度下降,並非以「關節腫脹、疼痛及活動困難」為定義。

(B) Hepatitis(肝炎)

錯誤。hepatitis 指肝臟發炎,常見相關症狀包括疲倦、食慾不振、噁心、腹部不適或黃疸等。題幹描述的是關節症狀,與肝臟疾病無關。

In the TV show "Grey’s Anatomy," the main character, Dr. Meredith Grey, works as a/an ____, specializing in the treatment of diseases and conditions affecting the female reproductive system.

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「醫學專科名稱」與「字義判斷」。題幹直接給出線索:

specializing in the treatment of diseases and conditions affecting the female reproductive system
專門治療影響女性生殖系統的疾病與病況

負責女性生殖系統診療的專科醫師是 gynecologist(婦科醫師、婦產科醫師)。

解題方法

先抓題幹中描述專業範圍的關鍵片語:

  • female reproductive system:女性生殖系統
  • specialize in:專門從事、專精於
  • the treatment of diseases and conditions:疾病與病況的治療

看到「女性生殖系統」即可對應到 gynecologist。完整句意為:

In the TV show "Grey’s Anatomy," the main character, Dr. Meredith Grey, works as a/an gynecologist, specializing in the treatment of diseases and conditions affecting the female reproductive system.
在電視劇《實習醫生格蕾》中,主角 Meredith Grey 醫師是一名婦科醫師,專門治療影響女性生殖系統的疾病與病況。

文法上,空格前的 a/an 是不定冠詞,後面必須接單數可數名詞。四個選項皆符合此形式,因此必須依照專業定義判斷。

選項分析

(A) oncologist:腫瘤科醫師

oncology 是腫瘤學,oncologist 專門診斷與治療癌症及其他腫瘤相關疾病。雖然婦科醫師也可能處理女性生殖系統的癌症,但題幹描述的是「女性生殖系統整體的疾病與病況」,不是專指癌症,因此不選 oncologist。

(B) cardiologist:心臟科醫師

cardiology 是心臟學,cardiologist 專門診治心臟與心血管系統疾病,例如心律不整、心肌梗塞與心臟衰竭。其專業範圍與女性生殖系統無關,因此錯誤。

(C) gynecologist:婦科醫師、婦產科醫師

I ____ to be up-to-date about current medical news, and I get all my information from various sources.

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:

  1. 字義辨析:依語境判斷動詞的正確意思。
  2. 動詞搭配:strive to + 原形動詞,表示「努力做……」。
  3. 語意一致:主詞為 I,句意須能合理表達「我努力掌握最新醫療消息」。

關鍵句為:

I ____ to be up-to-date about current medical news, and I get all my information from various sources.

翻譯:

我努力掌握最新的醫療新聞,而且我從各種來源取得所有資訊。

空格後接 to be,最自然的結構是:

strive to be ...
努力成為……;努力保持……

因此答案為 (B) strive。


解題方法

先觀察空格後的結構:

____ to be up-to-date

to be 是不定詞,空格應填入能與 to + 原形動詞 搭配,且符合句意的動詞。

strive 的基本用法為:

strive to + V
努力做某事

套入題目:

I strive to be up-to-date about current medical news.

意思是:

我努力掌握最新的醫療新聞。

後半句:

I get all my information from various sources.

表示說話者會從不同來源蒐集資訊,正好支持前句「努力掌握最新消息」的語意,因此前後文連貫。


選項分析

(A) stray

stray 可作動詞、形容詞或名詞。

  • 動詞:偏離、走失
  • 形容詞:走失的、流浪的

常見用法:

stray from the path
偏離道路

stray from the topic
離題

若填入題目:

I stray to be up-to-date about current medical news.

句意變成「我偏離而成為掌握最新醫療消息」,不符合語意;stray 也不與 to be up-to-date 構成合理搭配,因此錯誤。


(B) strive

strive 為動詞,意思是「努力、奮力爭取」。

常見搭配:

strive to do something
努力做某事

strive for success
努力爭取成功

填入後:

I strive to be up-to-date about current medical news.

意思是:

我努力掌握最新的醫療新聞。

語法與語意均正確,故選 (B)。

The nurse’s ____ attention to the patient’s needs was appreciated.

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「形容詞與名詞的語意搭配」,以及根據上下文判斷正負面語氣。

題幹為:

The nurse’s ____ attention to the patient’s needs was appreciated.
護理師對病人需求的__關注受到肯定。

空格後接名詞 attention,意為「注意、關注」。句尾 was appreciated 表示「受到感激、肯定」,因此空格應填入具有正面意義、能表現護理師細心照料病人的形容詞。

解題方法

先抓句中的語意線索:

  • the patient’s needs:病人的需求
  • was appreciated:受到肯定、令人感激

整句是在稱讚護理師對病人需求的關注十分周詳,因此應選擇表示「一絲不苟、非常細心」的 meticulous。

完整句意為:

The nurse’s meticulous attention to the patient’s needs was appreciated.
護理師對病人需求一絲不苟、細緻周全的關注,受到大家的肯定。

關鍵單字與片語

  • nurse:護理師、護士
  • attention to:對於……的注意、關注
  • patient:病人;耐心的
  • need:需求、需要
  • appreciate:感激、欣賞、肯定
  • meticulous:極其細心的;一絲不苟的;鉅細靡遺的
  • ruthless:無情的、殘酷的
  • negligent:疏忽的、怠忽職守的
  • indifferent:漠不關心的、不在意的

文法上,the nurse’s 是所有格,修飾名詞片語 ____ attention to the patient’s needs;空格需要填入形容詞,修飾 attention。

The best advice for learning a language is to ____ yourself in it.

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「字義判斷」與固定搭配。句型為:

The best advice for learning a language is to immerse yourself in it.
學習語言最好的建議,就是讓自己完全沉浸在其中。

其中:

  • immerse oneself in + 事物:使自己沉浸於……、全心投入……
  • yourself 是反身代名詞,指回主詞本身。
  • it 指前面的 a language。

因此,句意是「學習語言時,要讓自己完全置身於該語言的環境中」,最符合的是 immerse。


解題方法

先觀察空格後方的結構:

to ____ yourself in it

此處需要一個能與 yourself in 搭配的動詞。immerse oneself in 是常見固定片語,表示「使自己沉浸於某事」。

完整句子為:

The best advice for learning a language is to immerse yourself in it.

翻譯:

學習語言最好的建議,就是讓自己沉浸在語言環境中。

這裡的「沉浸」不只是接觸,而是大量聆聽、閱讀、使用該語言,使自己充分暴露在語言環境裡。


選項分析

(A) decompose

decompose 意為「分解、腐爛」。

  • decompose a substance:分解物質
  • dead leaves decompose:枯葉腐爛

resemble 意為「像、與……相似」。

The doctor used a ____ to listen to the patient’s heart.

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「醫療器材名稱」與「語意判斷」。題幹描述醫師使用某種器材來聽病人的心臟,需依器材的功能選出正確答案。

題幹定位與翻譯

The doctor used a ____ to listen to the patient’s heart.
醫師使用一個____來聽病人的心臟。

關鍵片語是 listen to the patient’s heart,意為「聽病人的心臟」。醫療上用來聽取心音、呼吸音與血流聲的器材是 stethoscope,中文為「聽診器」。

完整句意為:

The doctor used a stethoscope to listen to the patient’s heart.
醫師使用聽診器來聽病人的心臟。

文法與語意重點

句型為:

use + 工具 + to V

表示「使用某工具來做某事」。

例如:

  • use a thermometer to measure body temperature
    使用溫度計測量體溫
  • use a stethoscope to listen to the heart
    使用聽診器聽心臟

題幹中的 a 放在空格前,表示空格應填入單數可數名詞。四個選項皆符合此形式,真正的判斷關鍵在於器材功能與語境。

II. Grammar: Choose the best answer to each question.

They will leave tomorrow morning, weather ____.

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「獨立分詞構句」(absolute construction)及固定片語 weather permitting。

句尾的 weather permitting 是補充說明整個主要句子的條件,相當於:

if the weather permits
如果天氣允許的話

其中:

  • weather:天氣;作為分詞 permitting 的邏輯主詞。
  • permitting:動詞 permit 的現在分詞,表示「允許」。
  • weather permitting:固定用法,意為「如果天氣許可、天氣狀況允許」。

完整句子的意思是:

They will leave tomorrow morning, weather permitting.
如果天氣狀況允許,他們明天早上會離開。

解題方法

先找主要句子的完整結構:

They will leave tomorrow morning

  • They:主詞
  • will leave:未來式動詞
  • tomorrow morning:時間副詞片語

逗號後的 weather ____ 並非主要句子的必要成分,而是附加的條件說明。英文常將「主詞+分詞」的條件副詞子句簡化為獨立分詞構句:

if the weather permits→weather permitting\text{if the weather permits} \rightarrow \text{weather permitting}

因為 weather 是主動「允許」的執行者,所以使用現在分詞 permitting,答案為 (A)。

選項分析

(A) permitting 正確

weather permitting 是慣用的獨立分詞構句,完整形式為:

if the weather permits

表示「如果天氣允許的話」。permit 為主動動詞,主詞 weather 主動允許某件事,因此使用現在分詞 permitting。

(B) permits 錯誤

permits 是限定動詞,若要使用完整子句,前面必須有連接詞:

According to a survey, the size of a man’s eyes is generally a bit smaller than ____.

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「比較句中的代詞替代」與「所有格省略」。

題幹主詞為:

the size of a man’s eyes
一名男子眼睛的大小

比較時,空格必須代表「一名女性眼睛的大小」,避免重複完整名詞片語:

the size of a man’s eyes is smaller than the size of a woman’s eyes

其中:

  • size:大小
  • eye:眼睛
  • generally:一般而言
  • a bit smaller than:比……小一點
  • according to a survey:根據一項調查

題幹定位與翻譯

According to a survey, the size of a man’s eyes is generally a bit smaller than ____.

翻譯為:

根據一項調查,男性眼睛的大小一般而言比女性眼睛的大小小一點。

本題的比較對象是兩個 size,不是兩組單純的 eyes。

解題方法

先找出比較結構:

the size of a man’s eyes is smaller than ______

比較前方的核心名詞是單數名詞 the size,因此後方應以單數代詞 that 代替另一個 size:

the size of a man’s eyes is smaller than that of a woman’s eyes

再將 eyes 省略,形成:

that of a woman’s

依官方答案的設定,that 代替 size,a woman’s 省略 a woman’s eyes,完整意思是:

the size of a woman’s eyes

因此本題依公布答案選 (D)。

選項分析

(A) a woman’s

smaller than a woman’s

此選項可理解為「比女性的眼睛小」,但前方比較的是 the size,後方卻直接使用所有格 a woman’s,比較對象的語法層級不夠對稱。較完整的表達應為 the size of a woman’s eyes,需以 that 代替 size。

(B) those of a woman

If you ____, I would have brought my friends over to your house this evening to watch TV, but I didn’t want to bother you.

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「第三類條件句(third conditional)」及「過去完成進行式(past perfect progressive)」的用法。

第三類條件句用來表達與過去事實相反的假設:

If + 主詞 + had + 過去分詞, 主詞 + would have + 過去分詞\text{If + 主詞 + had + 過去分詞, 主詞 + would have + 過去分詞}

本題句意是:

如果你當時沒有一直讀書,我本來就會在今晚帶朋友到你家看電視,但我不想打擾你。

事實應是「你當時一直在讀書,因此我沒有帶朋友去」。假設條件與過去事實相反,故須使用過去完成式;由於強調「持續讀書」的過程,使用過去完成進行式:

had not been studying\text{had not been studying}

解題方法

先觀察主要子句:

I would have brought my friends over to your house this evening.

其中 would have brought 是「would have + 過去分詞」,表示對過去未發生事情的假設結果,因此前面的 if 子句應搭配過去完成式。

四個選項中,只有:

hadn’t been studying

符合「had + been + V-ing」的過去完成進行式。

完整句子為:

If you hadn’t been studying, I would have brought my friends over to your house this evening to watch TV, but I didn’t want to bother you.

翻譯:

如果你當時沒有一直讀書,我本來就會在今晚帶朋友到你家看電視,但我不想打擾你。

定位答案的關鍵句是:

I would have brought my friends over ... but I didn’t want to bother you.

這表示「帶朋友去」是過去原本可能發生、但最後沒有發生的事情,形成與過去事實相反的假設,因此 if 子句要用過去完成式。


選項分析

(A) have not studied

have not studied 是現在完成式,表示「到現在為止沒有讀書」。現在完成式不能直接搭配本題主句的 would have brought,不符合第三類條件句的時態對應。

錯誤句型:

If you have not studied, I would have brought ...

若要表達現在或未來的條件,主要子句應改為:

If you have not studied, I will not let you go out.

因此本選項錯誤。

(B) were not studying

Dr. Sale is a person ____.

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「關係代名詞」與介系詞搭配,重點在片語 have confidence in someone,意為「對某人有信心、信任某人」。

題幹為:

Dr. Sale is a person ____.

完整句意是:

Dr. Sale 是一位我不太信任的人。

其中,關係子句原本可還原為:

I don’t have much confidence in Dr. Sale.

將 Dr. Sale 改為關係代名詞後,因為它是介系詞 in 的受詞,正式文法可將介系詞置於關係代名詞前:

in whom I don’t have much confidence

因此完整句為:

Dr. Sale is a person in whom I don’t have much confidence.

解題方法

先找出空格後子句的核心結構:

I don’t have much confidence ___.

固定搭配是:

have confidence in + 人
對某人有信心;信任某人

所以空格所代表的先行詞必須與介系詞 in 搭配。正式英文中,介系詞可以置於關係代名詞前:

in whom

由於先行詞 a person 指人,且 whom 作為介系詞 in 的受詞,因此答案為:

in whom I don’t have much confidence

選項分析

(A) in whom I don’t have much confidence.

正確。

  • whom 指代前面的 a person。
  • in 是片語 have confidence in 中不可省略的重要介系詞。
  • whom 作介系詞 in 的受詞。
  • 結構完整:

I don’t have much confidence in him.

改為關係子句後:

in whom I don’t have much confidence

句意為:

Sale 醫師是一位我不太信任的人。

(B) I don’t have much confidence.

錯誤。

此選項缺少介系詞 in。原句應為:

I don’t have much confidence in Dr. Sale.

不能說:

I don’t have much confidence Dr. Sale.

因為 confidence 在表示「對某人有信心」時,通常必須使用:

confidence in + 人/事物

此外,空格本身也沒有關係代名詞,無法將前面的 a person 與後面的子句正確連接。

(C) whom I don’t have much confidence in him.

錯誤。

I’m sorry I never graduated. I’ve always regretted not ____ college.

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:

  1. regret 的句型搭配
  2. 動名詞(gerund)作為介系詞後的受詞
  3. 完成式動名詞 having+p.p.having + p.p. 表示動作先於主要動詞發生
  4. 否定詞 not 的位置

句型為:

regret+V-ingregret + V\text{-}ing

表示「後悔做過某事」。若要表達「後悔沒有做過某事」,則使用:

regret+not having+p.p.regret + not\ having + p.p.

因此:

regret not having finished collegeregret\ not\ having\ finished\ college

意為「後悔沒有完成大學學業」。


題幹定位與翻譯

關鍵句為:

I’ve always regretted not ____ college.

翻譯:

我一直都很後悔沒有完成大學學業。

前句:

I’m sorry I never graduated.

意為:

很遺憾,我從未畢業。

「從未畢業」與「後悔沒有完成大學學業」具有先後關係:先沒有完成大學,之後一直對此感到後悔。因此使用完成式動名詞 having finished,並在前面加上 not 表示否定。


解題方法

先觀察動詞 regretted 後面的結構。此處空格位於:

regretted not ____ collegeregretted\ not\ \_\_\_\_\ college

介系詞 not 本身不是介系詞,而是放在動名詞片語前的否定詞。空格需要填入能作為 regret 受詞的動名詞片語。

因為「完成大學」發生在「一直後悔」之前,採用完成式動名詞:

having+過去分詞having + 過去分詞

finish 的過去分詞為 finished,所以完整結構為:

regretted+not having finished collegeregretted + not\ having\ finished\ college

完整句:

I’ve always regretted not having finished college.


選項分析

(A) to finish

錯誤。to finish 是不定詞。一般而言,regret 表示「後悔已經發生或未發生的事情」時,後面接動名詞,而不是不定詞。

錯誤結構:

regret not to finish college

本題語意是後悔過去沒有完成大學,不使用此不定詞結構。


(B) finished

錯誤。finished 是過去式或過去分詞,不能單獨作為 regret 的名詞性受詞。

英文須使用動名詞:

regret not finishing college

若要強調「完成」發生在「後悔」之前,則使用:

regret not having finished college

單獨填入 finished 會形成:

The most serious health problem ____ infectious diseases. Today, the number one health problem in the United States is obesity.

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「過去習慣或過去狀態」的句型:

used to + 原形動詞\text{used to + 原形動詞}

表示「過去曾經……,但現在已不再如此」。題幹後句指出:

Today, the number one health problem in the United States is obesity.
如今,美國最主要的健康問題是肥胖。

因此,前句必須表達「感染性疾病過去曾是最嚴重的健康問題,但現在已變成肥胖」。

句型為:

The most serious health problem used to be infectious diseases.
最嚴重的健康問題過去曾是感染性疾病。


解題方法

先觀察主詞與補語:

  • 主詞:The most serious health problem
  • 空格:需要接在主詞後作謂語
  • 補語:infectious diseases

因為題幹用 Today 說明現在的情況,前句要與現在形成對比,表示「以前的狀態」。因此使用:

主詞+used to be+名詞補語\text{主詞}+\text{used to be}+\text{名詞補語}

完整句意為:

「最嚴重的健康問題過去曾是感染性疾病;如今,美國最主要的健康問題是肥胖。」


選項分析

(A) was used to be

錯誤。此選項將 was 與 used to be 疊加使用。

  • used to be 本身已經是完整的過去狀態句型。
  • was used to be 不符合此處的標準文法結構。

正確形式應為:

The problem used to be infectious diseases.

若使用 was,後面不能再接 used to be:

The problem was infectious diseases.

但這樣只表示過去某時的狀態,沒有清楚表達「以前如此、現在已改變」的對比。


(B) used to have been

錯誤。used to have been 在特定上下文中可形成文法上可分析的結構,但表示「過去曾經已經是某種狀態」,通常用於相對更早的時間背景,語意較複雜。

本題只需表達「過去曾是」,標準句型是:

used to be

題幹的 Today 已直接提供現在與過去的對比,沒有必要使用完成式 have been。因此本題依命題慣例應選 used to be。


(C) used to be

正確。

Women ____ from migraine headaches than men.

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「be likely to + 原形動詞」句型,以及比較級片語「be more likely to + 原形動詞」。

  • be likely to + V:很可能做某事
  • be more likely to + V:比較可能做某事
  • suffer from + 疾病/身體問題:罹患、受到某疾病或問題所苦
  • than:比,用於比較句

題幹:

Women ____ from migraine headaches than men.

完整句意為:

女性比男性更容易受到偏頭痛的困擾。

其中 suffer from migraine headaches 是固定搭配,表示「罹患偏頭痛」。


解題方法

先觀察空格後面的結構:

____ from migraine headaches

空格中的動詞片語必須能自然接上 from,因此需要使用:

suffer from + 疾病

接著,句尾有比較對象 than men,表示句子需要比較級結構:

Women are more likely to suffer from migraine headaches than men.

句型拆解如下:

  • Women:主詞
  • are:be 動詞,配合複數主詞 Women
  • more likely:比較級,表示「更有可能」
  • to suffer:to 後接原形動詞
  • from migraine headaches:suffer from 的介系詞片語
  • than men:比較對象

因此正確句子為:

Women are more likely to suffer from migraine headaches than men.
女性比男性更容易受到偏頭痛的困擾。


選項分析

(A) are more likely to suffer

完整句子:

Women are more likely to suffer from migraine headaches than men.

be more likely to + 原形動詞 結構正確,且 suffer from 是正確搭配;句尾 than men 也需要比較級 more likely。因此本選項正確。


(B) are more likely to suffering

Steven: I didn’t expect Ann’s husband to be here at the opera with her.

Jo: I’m surprised, too. Ann must have insisted ____ with her.

登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查動詞 insist 的句型,以及介系詞 on 後面接動名詞的用法。

insist 常見句型如下:

  1. insist on/upon + 名詞/動名詞

表示「堅持……」:

insist on/upon + N/V-ing\text{insist on/upon + N/V-ing}

例:She insisted on going with us.
她堅持要和我們一起去。

  1. insist that + 子句

表示「堅持要求……」時,that 子句常用原形動詞:

insist that + S + 原形動詞\text{insist that + S + 原形動詞}

例:She insisted that he come with her.
她堅持要求他和她一起來。

英式英文也常見:

insist that + S + should + 原形動詞\text{insist that + S + should + 原形動詞}

本題空格前已有 insisted,空格後若採用介系詞片語,應使用 on + 動名詞。


題幹定位與語意

關鍵句為:

Ann must have insisted ____ with her.
Ann 一定堅持要他和她一起來。

前文說:

I didn’t expect Ann’s husband to be here at the opera with her.
我沒想到 Ann 的丈夫會和她一起在歌劇院。

Jo 回答:

I’m surprised, too.
我也很驚訝。

既然 Ann 的丈夫原本似乎不打算來,是 Ann 堅持要求他陪她前來,因此最自然的結構是:

insisted on his coming with her


解題方法

先觀察空格後的結構:

____ with her

選項中有兩種可能結構:

  • that + 子句
  • on + 動名詞

若使用 on,後面必須接名詞或動名詞,因此可形成:

on his coming with her

其中:

  • his 是動名詞 coming 的所有格修飾語
  • coming 是動名詞,作介系詞 on 的受詞

完整句子為:

Ann must have insisted on his coming with her.

意思是:

Ann 一定堅持要他和她一起來。

因此官方答案為 (C)。


選項分析

(A) that he will come

完整句子:

Ann must have insisted that he will come with her.

此選項有兩個問題。

第一,insist that 表示「堅持要求某人做某事」時,that 子句通常使用原形動詞:

insisted that he come

而不是:

insisted that he will come

第二,前面的 must have insisted 是對過去情況的推測,後面的 will come 表示未來,和語境中丈夫已經在歌劇院的事實不配合。

因此不選 (A)。


(B) that he came

We have 206 bones and we are ____ seventy-three percent water.

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「表示組成、構成」的片語,以及被動語態後接介系詞的用法。

題幹中的關鍵結構是:

We have 206 bones and we are comprised of seventy-three percent water.
我們有 206 塊骨頭,而且我們是由百分之七十三的水所構成。

其中:

  • be comprised of:由……構成、包含……
  • seventy-three percent water:百分之七十三是水
  • bones:骨頭
  • water:水

句型可整理為:

主詞+be comprised of+組成成分\text{主詞}+\text{be comprised of}+\text{組成成分}

因此,空格後需要能直接與 seventy-three percent water 搭配,表示「由……構成」的片語。


解題方法

先判斷句意:

we are ____ seventy-three percent water

主詞 we 指人類身體,後面的 seventy-three percent water 是身體的組成成分。句意應為「我們由百分之七十三的水構成」。

四個選項中,能直接形成「be comprised of+組成成分」的完整結構是:

we are comprised of seventy-three percent water

所以選 (B)。


選項分析

(A) made into

make A into B 表示「把 A 製成、轉變成 B」,重點是由一種狀態轉變為另一種狀態。

例如:

The factory makes plastic into toys.
這家工廠把塑膠製成玩具。

若填入題幹:

we are made into seventy-three percent water

意思會變成「我們被製成百分之七十三的水」,語意不合理。人體不是「被轉變成」百分之七十三的水,因此錯誤。


(B) comprised of

be comprised of 表示「由……構成、包含……」,可用來介紹整體的組成成分。

The human body is comprised of various tissues.
人體由各種組織構成。

填入後:

We have 206 bones and we are comprised of seventy-three percent water.

句意為:

我們有 206 塊骨頭,而且身體由百分之七十三的水構成。

符合題意,因此為官方公布答案。


(C) made up

make up 本身可表示「組成」,但在「某物由……構成」的被動句中,通常使用完整片語:

be made up of+組成成分

正確句型應為:

We are made up of seventy-three percent water.

The doctor recommended that the patient ____ to quit smoking.

登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查動詞 recommend 後接 that 子句時的動詞形式,以及過去式動詞 recommended 是否會影響 that 子句中的動詞時態。

題幹:

The doctor recommended that the patient ____ to quit smoking.
醫師建議病人嘗試戒菸。

關鍵單字與片語:

  • doctor:醫師
  • recommend:建議、推薦
  • patient:病人
  • try to V:嘗試做某事
  • quit smoking:戒菸

解題方法

依一般標準英文文法,表示「建議、要求、命令」的動詞後接 that 子句時,常使用「假設語氣現在式」:

recommend+that+主詞+原形動詞recommend + that + 主詞 + 原形動詞

因此標準句型是:

The doctor recommended that the patient try to quit smoking.

此處即使主要動詞 recommended 是過去式,that 子句中的動詞仍可使用原形 try,因為這是由 recommend 所引導的要求、建議型 that 子句,而不是一般的時態一致句型。

不過,本題校方釋疑公告指出原答案有誤植,並將答案更正為 B。因此依題目指定的官方更正答案,本題作答為 B. tried。必須注意的是,校方公告僅說明「答案誤植」,未提供支持 tried 的文法說明;就標準英文文法而言,B 與常見的 recommend that 句型存在爭議。

選項分析

(A) try

The doctor recommended that the patient try to quit smoking.

try 是原形動詞,符合標準的「recommend + that + 主詞 + 原形動詞」句型,文法上最自然。若依一般英文文法判斷,A 應是合理答案。

然而,本題官方已公告原答案 A 為誤植,正式更正為 B,因此考試作答必須以校方更正後答案為準。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「片語搭配」與「語意判斷」。空格位於:

scientists tried to overcome the force of gravity so that a rocket could shoot ____ Earth’s pull in order to land humans on the moon.
科學家試圖克服重力,使火箭能夠脫離地球的牽引力,以便將人類送上月球。

句意重點是:火箭必須「脫離、擺脫」地球重力的拉力,因此選擇表示「免於、脫離」的 free of。

解題方法

先觀察動詞片語:

shoot ____ Earth’s pull

此處 shoot 表示「快速衝出、飛離」,後面需要接能表達「脫離地球引力」的介系詞片語。free of 表示「不受……影響;脫離……」,因此:

shoot free of Earth’s pull
飛離地球的牽引力;脫離地球引力

完整句意為:

早期太空旅行時,科學家試圖克服重力,使火箭能夠脫離地球的牽引力,以便將人類送上月球。

選項分析

(A) back up

back up 常見意思有:

  • 支持、支援:back up an argument
  • 備份:back up files
  • 倒車、後退:back up the car

shoot back up 可表示「向上射回、快速返回」,但無法表達「脫離地球引力」;shoot back up Earth’s pull 在語意與搭配上均不成立。

(B) free of

free of 表示「免於……、不受……影響、脫離……」。例如:

  • free of gravity:不受重力影響
  • free of danger:免於危險
  • free of charge:免費

shoot free of Earth’s pull 表示「飛離地球的牽引力」,符合火箭克服重力、離開地球的語境,因此為正確答案。

(C) long for

long for 是片語動詞,表示「渴望、盼望」,後面通常接人、事物或某種狀態,例如:

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考克漏字中的「語意判斷、形容詞搭配與上下文邏輯」,重點是根據文章內容判斷 Charlie Brown effect 對太空人的影響程度。

定位句為:

This “Charlie Brown effect” will be more ____ when the astronauts go on their Mars missions, which will take about three years to complete, much longer than missions to the moon.

翻譯:

當太空人執行火星任務時,這種「查理・布朗效應」將會更加____;火星任務約需三年才能完成,遠比登月任務長。

前文指出,失重會使體液轉移至上半身與頭部,造成太空人臉部腫脹;後文又說此效應常伴隨太空暈動症、頭痛與噁心,並且被視為太空人的首要健康風險。因此空格需要填入能表示「影響更明顯」或「後果更嚴重」的形容詞。

依校方釋疑公告「II結構誤植」及官方公布答案,本題採複選,答案為 B、C。

解題方法

先觀察句型:

will be more + 形容詞

空格必須填入形容詞,且語意要能描述 Charlie Brown effect 隨任務時間延長而加劇的情形。

判斷方向有兩個:

  1. 火星任務時間較長,體液重新分布的效應會更明顯、更引人注意。
  2. 這種效應伴隨暈動症、頭痛、噁心,甚至被視為首要健康風險,因此後果也可被描述為更具災難性。

因此官方接受:

  • sensational:更引人注意、更令人震撼。
  • catastrophic:更具災難性、造成更嚴重後果。

選項分析

(A) abstract

abstract 意為「抽象的、抽象概念的」。

例如:

  • abstract idea:抽象概念
  • abstract art:抽象藝術

Charlie Brown effect 是身體外觀與生理變化,並非抽象概念;上下文也在說明臉部腫脹、頭痛、噁心等實際健康影響,因此填入:

will be more abstract

語意不通,故錯誤。

(B) sensational

sensational 意為「引起轟動的、令人震撼的、非常顯著的」。

文中說火星任務長達三年,遠比登月任務久,太空人長期處於低重力環境,體液重新分布與臉部腫脹現象會更加明顯,也更容易引起注意。因此:

This “Charlie Brown effect” will be more sensational...

可理解為:

這種「查理・布朗效應」會更加醒目、更加令人震撼。

與後文的健康風險描述相互呼應,符合語意,故正確。

(C) catastrophic

Passage 1

Gravity has been at the top of the science agenda since the start of Mars missions. In the earlier days of space travel, scientists tried to overcome the force of gravity so that a rocket could shoot ____ Earth’s pull in order to land humans on the moon. Today, they are more interested in how reduced gravity affects the astronauts’ ____ condition. Our bodies have evolved to exist within Earth’s gravity, not in the weightlessness of space or the microgravity of Mars.

When on Earth, we have more fluids in our lower body because they are pulled down by Earth’s gravity. However, with the absence of gravity in outer space, our body fluids redistribute, shifting toward the upper body and the head. ____, the astronauts have swollen, puffy faces, very much resembling that of the round-headed Charlie Brown in the famous comic strip.

This “Charlie Brown effect” will be more ____ when the astronauts go on their Mars missions, which will take about three years to complete, much longer than missions to the moon. Moreover, the effect is often ____ space motion sickness, headaches, and nausea. Such a syndrome is considered the top health risk for the astronauts, and scientists are still trying to figure out how it may be prevented.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「轉承副詞片語」與上下文的邏輯關係,重點是判斷前後句之間屬於:

  • 因果
  • 讓步
  • 假設或比喻

空格位於句首,後面接完整句子:

____, the astronauts have swollen, puffy faces, very much resembling that of the round-headed Charlie Brown in the famous comic strip.

前文說明:太空中缺乏重力,人體內的液體會重新分布,往上半身與頭部移動。因此,太空人的臉會腫脹、浮腫。前後是明確的「原因 → 結果」關係。


解題方法

定位前後文的因果關係:

However, with the absence of gravity in outer space, our body fluids redistribute, shifting toward the upper body and the head. ____, the astronauts have swollen, puffy faces...

翻譯:

然而,由於外太空缺乏重力,人體內的液體會重新分布,移向上半身與頭部。因此,太空人的臉會腫脹、浮腫……

「人體液體往頭部移動」是原因;「太空人臉部腫脹」是結果,所以應填入表示「因此、結果」的 As a result。


選項分析

(A) As a result

意思是「因此;結果」。
詞性上屬於表示結果的轉承副詞片語,可置於句首,後接逗號,再接完整句子。

代入後:

As a result, the astronauts have swollen, puffy faces...

翻譯:

因此,太空人的臉會腫脹、浮腫……

語意、文法與上下文皆成立,為正確答案。


(B) In spite

In spite 意思是「儘管」,通常必須搭配 of,形成:

  • in spite of + 名詞
  • in spite of + 動名詞

例如:

In spite of the lack of gravity, ...

本題空格後直接接逗號與完整句子:

the astronauts have swollen, puffy faces

因此單獨使用 In spite 不完整;而且文章前後不是讓步關係,而是因果關係,所以錯誤。


(C) Even though

Even though 意思是「即使;雖然」,屬於從屬連接詞,後面必須接完整的子句,用來表示讓步關係。

例如:

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考克漏字的「語意判斷」、形容詞搭配與上下文推論。第 29 題句型為:

This “Charlie Brown effect” will be more ____ when the astronauts go on their Mars missions...

空格位於比較級 more + 形容詞 之後,因此四個選項皆可在文法形式上接入;真正關鍵在於形容詞與 effect 及全文語意是否搭配。

依校方更正後公告,本題答案採 (A) contagious。

解題方法

定位關鍵句:

This “Charlie Brown effect” will be more ____ when the astronauts go on their Mars missions, which will take about three years to complete, much longer than missions to the moon.

翻譯為:

這種「查理・布朗效應」在太空人執行火星任務時會更加__,因為任務約需三年才能完成,遠比登月任務長。

前文指出,火星任務時間更長;後文又提到:

Moreover, the effect is often ____ space motion sickness, headaches, and nausea.

意為:

此外,這種效應常常__太空暈動症、頭痛與噁心。

依官方更正,命題單位將第 29 題的語意判定為 contagious,即「具傳染性的、會擴散的」,將「Charlie Brown effect」理解為在長時間太空任務中更容易擴散或影響太空人。

選項分析

(A) contagious:具傳染性的;會擴散的

依校方更正答案為 A。
contagious 通常形容疾病、病毒或情緒,表示「可傳染的、可在人與人之間擴散的」。放入句中為:

This “Charlie Brown effect” will be more contagious...

可理解為:

這種效應在長期火星任務中會更容易擴散或影響太空人。

這是本題官方指定的正確答案。

不過,從一般英文搭配與文章內容來看,contagious effect 並不是最自然的說法;文章談的是失重造成的生理影響持續加劇,而不是疾病在人與人之間傳播。因此,A 與上下文之間存在明顯語意爭議。

(B) lucrative:有利可圖的;賺錢的

lucrative 用來形容工作、事業、交易或投資具有高度獲利性,例如:

a lucrative business

意為「有利可圖的生意」。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「片語搭配」與「語意判斷」。空格位於:

This “Charlie Brown effect” will be more ____ when the astronauts go on their Mars missions, which will take about three years to complete, much longer than missions to the moon. Moreover, the effect is often ____ space motion sickness, headaches, and nausea.

第二個空格後面接的是一連串身體症狀:space motion sickness, headaches, and nausea,因此需要表達「伴隨著……發生」的片語。

定位答案的關鍵句

Moreover, the effect is often accompanied by space motion sickness, headaches, and nausea.
此外,這種效應經常伴隨著太空暈動症、頭痛與噁心。

be accompanied by + 名詞 表示「伴隨著……」「與……同時發生」,完全符合文章語意,因此答案為 (D) accompanied by。

解題方法

先觀察句型:

the effect is often ____ space motion sickness, headaches, and nausea

主詞是 the effect,後方接症狀名詞。若要表示「這種效應伴隨症狀」,可使用被動結構:

A is accompanied by B
A 伴隨著 B

因此:

the effect is often accompanied by space motion sickness, headaches, and nausea

句意為「這種效應經常伴隨太空暈動症、頭痛與噁心」。

文章前文先說明失重會使體液移向上半身與頭部,造成臉部腫脹;後文接著補充此效應還會伴隨暈動症、頭痛與噁心,前後語意連貫。

選項分析

(A) set off

set off 常見意思有:

  • 出發
  • 引發、觸發

例如:

The smoke set off the alarm.
煙霧觸發了警報。

若填入句中:

the effect is often set off space motion sickness...

set off 作「引發」時,通常使用 set off + 受詞,但此處句意是「效應伴隨症狀」,不是「效應被症狀引發」。此外,若要表達「被引發」,也需要 set off by,不能直接接症狀名詞。因此不合句型與語意。

(B) brought about

bring about 表示「造成、導致、引起」,通常使用:

bring about + 結果
造成某種結果

例如:

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「詞性辨識」與「語意搭配」。

題幹句型為:

Children sitting in baskets are lifted ____ into the sky by an enormous wheel.
坐在籃子裡的孩童被巨大的輪子升到高空。

空格位於被動語態 are lifted 之後,修飾動詞 lifted,需要表示「升得多高、升到高處」的副詞或副詞用法。依語意應填 high,表示「高高地、到高處」。

解題方法

關鍵句為:

Children sitting in baskets are lifted high into the sky by an enormous wheel.

其中:

  • are lifted:被升起、被抬高
  • high into the sky:高高地升入天空、升到高空

句型可分析為:

主詞+被動語態+副詞+方向/位置片語\text{主詞} + \text{被動語態} + \text{副詞} + \text{方向/位置片語}

因此:

are lifted+high+into the sky\text{are lifted} + \text{high} + \text{into the sky}

語意完整且自然。

選項分析

(A) highly

highly 是副詞,通常表示「高度地、非常地」,用於抽象評價或程度,例如:

  • highly respected:備受尊敬的
  • highly successful:非常成功的

本句描述孩童被摩天輪「升到高處」,是具體的空間高度,應使用 high,而不是表示抽象程度的 highly。

  • 不自然:lifted highly into the sky
  • 正確:lifted high into the sky

因此 (A) 錯誤。

(B) high

high 可作形容詞,也可作副詞。作副詞時表示「高高地、在高處」,可修飾 lifted,並與 into the sky 形成自然搭配:

lifted high into the sky
被高高地升入天空

因此 (B) 正確。

(C) height

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「動詞與年齡表達法」及上下文語意。

英文常用:

  • turn + 年齡:年滿、達到某歲數
    例:She turned twenty last year.
    她去年滿二十歲。
  • be + 年齡:處於某年齡
    例:She is twenty years old.
    她二十歲。

題目句型為:

The first Ferris wheel, named after its American inventor, Gale Ferris, ____ 130 years old in 2023.
第一座以美國發明家 Gale Ferris 命名的摩天輪,在 2023 年滿 130 歲。

此處需要能表示「達到某個年齡」的動詞,因此選 turned。

解題方法

先鎖定空格後面的結構:

____ 130 years old

「動詞 + 年齡 + years old」最自然、最固定的搭配是:

turn + 數字 + years old

由於主詞是單數的 The first Ferris wheel,且敘述的是已經發生的歷史事實,使用過去式:

turned 130 years old

完整句意是:第一座摩天輪在 2023 年滿 130 歲。

選項分析

(A) turned 正確

turn 130 years old 表示「年滿 130 歲、達到 130 歲」。本句使用過去式 turned,與 2023 年這個過去時間點相符。

The first Ferris wheel turned 130 years old in 2023.

意為「第一座摩天輪在 2023 年滿 130 歲。」

(B) made 錯誤

make 主要表示「製造、使成為、做出」,不能自然搭配「130 years old」表示年齡增加。

  • made 130 years old:不符合標準英文慣用法。
  • 「使某人變成某年齡」通常需有不同結構,例如 made him 130 years old,但語意也不合理。

(C) took 錯誤

take 可表示「花費時間」或「拿取」,常見用法如:

  • It took 20 minutes.
    花了 20 分鐘。
  • He took a ride.
    他搭乘了一趟。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查「表示尺寸、尺度的介系詞搭配」,尤其是:

主詞+be+數字+單位+in+尺寸名詞\text{主詞}+\text{be}+\text{數字}+\text{單位}+\text{in}+\text{尺寸名詞}

常見用法包括:

  • 1010 meters in length:長 1010 公尺
  • 55 meters in width:寬 55 公尺
  • 250250 feet in diameter:直徑 250250 英尺
  • 33 meters in height:高 33 公尺

因此,表示「直徑為 250 英尺」時,應使用 250 feet in diameter。

解題方法

定位題幹中的句子:

It was 250 feet ____ diameter, which was six times taller than any wheel at that time.
它的直徑為 250 英尺,比當時任何一座摩天輪都高出六倍。

空格後面是尺寸名詞 diameter,前面是數字與長度單位 250 feet,符合固定搭配:

250 feet in diameter

句意是「直徑達 250 英尺」,語法與語意皆完整,因此選 in。

選項分析

  • (A) with:錯誤。
    with 表示「具有、帶有」,後面通常接名詞片語。正確句型應為:

It was a wheel with a diameter of 250 feet.

原句若寫成 250 feet with diameter,缺少冠詞及適當的名詞結構,不能表示「直徑為 250 英尺」。

核心觀念

本題考查:

  1. 片語 make for 的用法
  • make for + 名詞:造成、促成、形成某種結果。
  • 例如:The new wheel makes for a total of 13 wheels.
    意為「這座新摩天輪使總數達到 13 座」。
  1. a total of + 數字 + 複數名詞
  • a total of 13 wheels:總共 13 座摩天輪。
  • of 是搭配 total 使用,表示「……的總數」。

解題方法

定位答案的句子為:

To celebrate the Ferris wheel’s 130th birthday, the Illinois State Fair plans to erect another wheel, making ____ of 13 wheels being set up in one location.

大意是:

為慶祝摩天輪問世 130 週年,伊利諾州博覽會計畫再架設一座摩天輪,使同一地點設置的摩天輪總數達到 13 座。

依官方答案選擇 for,句意應理解為:

making for a total of 13 wheels being set up in one location

其中:

  • make for:促成、形成
  • a total of 13 wheels:總共 13 座摩天輪

也就是「再架設一座摩天輪,促成該地總共有 13 座摩天輪」。

選項分析

(A) for(正確答案)

make for 是固定片語,表示「造成、促成、形成」。

本句依官方命題意旨,應理解為:

making for a total of 13 wheels

意為「使總數達到 13 座摩天輪」。

因此選 (A) for。

(B) of(錯誤)

若填入 of,句子會變成:

making of 13 wheels ...

make of 通常用於:

  • What do you make of this idea?
    「你如何看待這個想法?」
  • The table is made of wood.
    「這張桌子是木頭製成的。」

本句並非詢問看法,也不是表達材料,因此 make of 不符合語意。

此外,表示「總共 13 座」的結構是:

a total of 13 wheels

而不是單獨使用 make of 13 wheels。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「可數名詞搭配」與「固定語意搭配」。

空格位於:

making ____ of 13 wheels being set up in one location.
使得同一地點設置的摩天輪總數達到 13 座。

其中 wheels 是可數名詞複數,且句意要表達「總共 13 座」,最自然的搭配是:

a total of + 數字+可數名詞複數
總共……

因此應選 a total。


解題方法

先判斷空格後的數字與名詞:

13 wheels

wheel 是可以逐一計算的可數名詞,因此不能只依照「數量」直譯,而要進一步判斷句意。

文章前文提到 Illinois State Fair 要「再建造一座摩天輪」:

plans to erect another wheel

接著說這項計畫將使同一地點設置的摩天輪:

making a total of 13 wheels being set up in one location

意思是「使同一地點設置的摩天輪總數達到 13 座」。
表達「合計、總數為」時,使用固定搭配 a total of。


題幹定位句與翻譯

To celebrate the Ferris wheel’s 130th birthday, the Illinois State Fair plans to erect another wheel, making a total of 13 wheels being set up in one location.

翻譯:

為慶祝摩天輪誕生 130 週年,伊利諾州博覽會計畫再建造一座摩天輪,使同一地點設置的摩天輪總數達到 13 座。

關鍵是 a total of 13 wheels,表示「總共 13 座摩天輪」。


選項分析

(A) an amount

amount 通常表示「數量、量」,主要搭配不可數名詞,例如:

  • an amount of money

(B) a number

a number of + 可數名詞複數 文法上正確,意思是「許多……」:

a number of wheels
許多摩天輪

但是本句後面有明確數字 13,句意是「總數為 13」,不是泛指「許多」。正確表達應為:

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查:

  1. 片語動詞的語意與搭配
  2. 主詞與動詞的一致
  3. 上下文語意判讀

空格所在句為:

The result is a chewy and doughy interior with a brown and crispy exterior. It ____ a wide variety of flavors.
結果是具有嚼勁、富有麵糰口感的內部,以及棕色酥脆的外部。它具有各式各樣的口味。

其中,come in + 名詞 表示「以……形式出現;有……種類或口味」。因此,就標準英文而言,comes in a wide variety of flavors 是最自然、正確的搭配。

不過,本題官方公告指出「答案誤植」,並將答案由 A 更正為 B;依題目要求,本題正式答案採 B。


解題方法

先觀察空格後面的受詞:

a wide variety of flavors
各式各樣的口味

若要表達「有很多不同口味」,標準用法是:

come in a wide variety of flavors
有各式各樣的口味

例如:

  • This ice cream comes in many flavors.
    這種冰淇淋有許多口味。
  • The product comes in three different sizes.
    這項產品有三種不同尺寸。

因此,依英文文法與語意判斷,原句應為:

It comes in a wide variety of flavors.

然而,校方釋疑公告明確說明原答案有誤植,並將答案更正為 B,故考試作答時應以校方更正後的答案為準。


選項分析

(A) comes in

come in + 種類/尺寸/顏色/口味 表示「有……種類;以……形式販售」。

It comes in a wide variety of flavors.
它有各式各樣的口味。

此選項符合:

  • 主詞 It 為第三人稱單數,因此使用 comes
  • come in 與 a wide variety of flavors 搭配自然
  • 上下文正在介紹 bagel 的不同口味

因此,就標準英文而言,A 是文法與語意均最正確的答案。

但依校方公告,本題原公布答案 A 被認定為誤植,正式答案更正為 B。


(B) come up with

come up with 表示「想出、提出、創造出」。

例如:

  • She came up with a new idea.
    她想出了一個新點子。
  • The chef came up with a new recipe.
    廚師創造出一份新食譜。

若將 B 直接代入原句:

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「片語搭配」與「語意判斷」。空格所在句為:

It ____ a wide variety of flavors.
它具有/提供多種不同風味。

官方答案為 (D) credited with。不過,依標準英文文法,應寫成:

It is credited with a wide variety of flavors.

題目原句缺少必要的 be 動詞 is,因此存在句法上的爭議。依官方答案,應將題目視為省略或漏列 is,再判斷片語意義。

解題方法

先觀察四個選項的基本結構與語意:

  • be prone to + 名詞/動名詞:容易……、有……傾向
  • be inclined to + 原形動詞/名詞:傾向於……
  • be derived from + 名詞:源自……
  • be credited with + 名詞/動名詞:被認為具有……;被歸功於……

句中主詞為 It,指前文的 bagel,空格後接名詞片語 a wide variety of flavors。在官方答案的判定下,應使用具有「被認為具有某種特質」之意的 be credited with:

It is credited with a wide variety of flavors.
它被認為具有多種不同風味。

語意上,文章接著說明人們可以加入起司、火腿或果醬,因此重點是 bagel 可以呈現多樣化風味。

選項分析

(A) prone to

prone to 表示「容易……、有……傾向」,通常用於負面或不理想的情況,例如:

  • be prone to disease:容易生病
  • be prone to accidents:容易發生意外
  • be prone to making mistakes:容易犯錯

若填入:

It is prone to a wide variety of flavors.

意思會變成「它容易受到多種風味影響」,不符合 bagel 能提供多樣口味的語意;而且 prone to 不適合用來表達「具有多樣風味」。

(B) inclined to

inclined to 表示「傾向於……」,後面通常接原形動詞,例如:

  • be inclined to agree:傾向於同意
  • be inclined to believe:傾向於相信

若接名詞,通常表示人的意願或態度,例如:

  • be inclined to generosity:傾向慷慨

It is inclined to a wide variety of flavors.

此句會變成「它傾向於多種風味」,搭配不自然,也無法清楚表達 bagel 本身具有多樣口味。

(C) derived from

be derived from 表示「源自……、由……衍生而來」,後面接來源,例如:

  • The word is derived from Latin.
    這個字源自拉丁文。
  • The medicine is derived from a natural substance.
    這種藥物由天然物質衍生而來。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「連接詞/副詞的語意與句型」,重點是判斷空格所表達的時間或條件關係。

選項中:

  • once:一旦……;……之後
  • despite:儘管,即使;後接名詞或動名詞
  • regardless of:不管,不論;後接名詞或動名詞
  • if only:只要……就好了;表示強烈願望,語氣常帶有遺憾

文章說明圓孔可以穿入繩子,以便拿取及展示,因此空格需要表達「繩子穿入之後」所產生的用途,答案為 once。


解題方法

定位答案的句子:

The hole can be used to thread strings, ____ for easier handling and more convenient for vendor displays.
這個孔可以用來穿入繩子,一旦穿好繩子,就更容易拿取,也更方便攤販展示。

此處的 once 表示「一旦……之後」。完整語意可理解為:

once [the strings are threaded]

也就是「一旦繩子被穿入孔中」,便能更容易處理與展示。

文章前文也出現相同用法:

so that once the Sabbath was over, they could be baked quickly and consumed.
因此安息日一結束,他們就能迅速將貝果烘烤並食用。

前文的 once the Sabbath was over 明確表示「安息日結束之後」,可作為判斷本題 once 用法的線索。


選項分析

(A) once 正確

once 可作為表示時間或條件的連接詞,意為「一旦……」「……之後」。

本句省略了後面的主詞與 be 動詞,完整概念是:

once the strings are threaded
一旦繩子被穿入之後

本題考的是:

  1. 詞性判斷:形容詞與副詞的用法。
  2. 比較級:more+more + 形容詞。
  3. 語意搭配:描述麵團受熱、烘烤是否均勻。

空格位於:

providing a ____ baking of the dough

空格後面的核心名詞是 baking,因此需要用形容詞修飾名詞,說明「烘烤的狀態」。


定位答案的原文與翻譯

The hole can be used to thread strings, ____ for easier handling and more convenient for vendor displays.

本題空格所在句的完整語意為:

The basic roll-with-a-hole design is hundreds of years old and has practical advantages like providing a more even baking of the dough.

翻譯:

這種有洞的基本圓麵包設計已有數百年歷史,具有實用上的優點,例如能讓麵團獲得更均勻的烘烤。

「麵包中間的洞」使麵團各部分較能平均接觸熱源,因此文章要表達的是「更均勻的烘烤」。


解題方法

先判斷空格的詞性:

  • a+____+bakinga + \_\_\_\_ + baking
  • baking 在此作名詞,意思是「烘烤、烘焙」。
  • 空格應放形容詞,修飾名詞 baking。

因此需要表達「更均勻的烘烤」:

a more even baking

其中:

  • even 是形容詞,意思是「均勻的、平均的」。
  • more even 是 even 的比較級,意思是「更均勻的」。

選項分析

(A) more evenly

evenly 是副詞,意思是「均勻地」。

副詞通常修飾動詞、形容詞或其他副詞,例如:

The dough is baked more evenly.
麵團被烘烤得更均勻。

但本題結構是:

a more evenly baking

空格後的 baking 在此是名詞,副詞 evenly 不能直接作為名詞的前置修飾語。因此詞性不合,錯誤。

若要使用 evenly,句子必須改成:

providing baking that is done more evenly


(B) more even

even 是形容詞,可修飾名詞 baking;more even 是其比較級,表示「更均勻的」。

a more even baking of the dough
更均勻的麵團烘烤

此選項符合:

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「關係代名詞引導的形容詞子句」以及動詞時態與語意。

官方答案為 (A) which allows。其命題意圖應是以 which 引導非限定關係子句,修飾前面的內容,並以現在式 allows 表示 bagel 的特性與功能。

關係代名詞:

  • which:可指物,作主詞或受詞。
  • that:可指人或物,但通常用於限定關係子句。
  • 關係代名詞後接動詞時,必須注意先行詞與動詞的單複數。
  • allow A to do B:允許 A 做 B;本句的 allow a wide variety of flavors 可理解為「容納/呈現多種口味」。

定位答案的原文

題幹相關句子為:

The result is a chewy and doughy interior with a brown and crispy exterior. It ____ a wide variety of flavors.

官方答案所對應的命題意圖可還原為:

The result is a chewy and doughy interior with a brown and crispy exterior, which allows a wide variety of flavors.

翻譯:

成品內部具有富有嚼勁、麵糰般的口感,外部則呈現棕色且酥脆的外皮,而這種特性使它能呈現多種口味。

解題方法

第一步,判斷空格需要的結構。

若依命題意圖,空格後的 allows 是動詞,因此前面需要一個能代表前面事物的主詞。which 可指前面的事物或整個前句,形成:

..., which allows a wide variety of flavors.

第二步,判斷動詞形式。

先行詞可視為單數的 the result 或單數的 bagel,因此動詞使用第三人稱單數:

which allows

第三步,判斷語意。

Bagel 可以搭配 cheese、ham、jam 等配料,因此具有「呈現多種口味」的特性。現在式 allows 用來描述一般性事實,語意自然。

選項分析

(A) which allows

正確答案。which 可指物,並可引導非限定關係子句;allows 為第三人稱單數現在式,符合單數先行詞及一般性敘述。

命題意圖為:

..., which allows a wide variety of flavors.

其中 which 指前面的 bagel 或其製作結果,allows 表示「使其能夠容納、呈現」。

(B) allowed

allowed 是過去式,若直接置入題面:

It allowed a wide variety of flavors.

雖然形式上可構成完整句子,但語意與上下文不合。文章是在說 bagel 一般具有的特性,應使用現在式,而非表示過去某一時間曾經具備的功能。此外,allowed 不能引導關係子句,也無法承接前面的名詞形成題目所要考的修飾結構。

(C) being allowed

being allowed 是動名詞或被動分詞片語,意思接近「被允許」。置入後會形成:

Article 1

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) can be a devastating disease. In MS, for reasons still unknown, the body’s immune system attacks the myelin insulation of nerve fibers. This can cause some of nerve fibers to die, while others become ineffective during a prolonged period of regeneration. The effects of this nerve damage can include reduced or spasmodic control of the body, and lowered capacity or disruptions of the senses. For many people, a vision problem is the first symptom of MS.

Optic neuritis, an inflammation of the optic nerve, is the most common visual disorder associated with MS. Double vision (diplopia) and involuntary movement of the eyes (nystagmus) are the two other problems. Nystagmus and diplopia are both linked to inflammation of brainstem areas that control movement of the eye. The three disorders are not linked to each other and usually occur separately.

Symptoms of optic neuritis include blurred vision, dimming of colors, eye pain that’s worsened by eye movement, blind spots and loss of contrast sensitivity. These symptoms may worsen over the first few days or two weeks. Then the condition usually starts improving. Some people recover within a month, while others need up to a year to recover. Most people regain normal or close-to-normal sight.

Temporary flare-ups of optic neuritis symptoms may also occur. Hot showers or baths, exercise or a fever may all trigger dimmed color, blurred vision and other visual problems. These heat-related symptoms resolve when the patient cools off, be it from ice packs, over-the-counter fever reducers, cool drinks, air conditioning or a soak in a cool tub of water.

  1. Where is the above article most likely to appear?

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「閱讀文章的主旨與文章體裁判斷」。解題重點不是逐句翻譯,而是觀察文章:

  1. 介紹 Multiple Sclerosis(多發性硬化症,MS)的成因與影響。
  2. 說明 MS 常見的視覺症狀。
  3. 解釋 optic neuritis、diplopia、nystagmus 等醫學名詞。
  4. 提供症狀恢復情形與熱度誘發症狀的處理方式。

全文採用客觀、醫療衛教式的說明語氣,內容也以一般病患能理解的方式介紹疾病,因此最適合出現在「多發性硬化症的資訊手冊」中。

解題方法

先判斷文章的「主題」與「寫作目的」:

  • 主題:多發性硬化症及其相關視覺症狀。
  • 寫作目的:提供疾病知識、症狀辨識與日常照護資訊。
  • 語氣:客觀、科普、衛教,沒有新聞報導的事件性,也沒有廣告推銷語氣。
  • 專業內容:涉及免疫系統、神經纖維、視神經發炎及眼球運動等醫學知識。

最具定位作用的句子包括:

“Multiple Sclerosis (MS) can be a devastating disease.”
「多發性硬化症(MS)可能是一種造成嚴重影響的疾病。」

“Symptoms of optic neuritis include blurred vision, dimming of colors, eye pain that’s worsened by eye movement, blind spots and loss of contrast sensitivity.”
「視神經炎的症狀包括視力模糊、色彩變暗、眼球轉動時加劇的眼痛、盲點,以及對比敏感度降低。」

“These heat-related symptoms resolve when the patient cools off...”
「這些與高溫有關的症狀會在病患降溫後緩解……」

上述內容都是疾病介紹與病患衛教資訊,最符合資訊手冊的功能。

選項分析

(A) In a news article about the health dangers of climate change.

「關於氣候變遷健康危害的新聞文章」

錯誤。文章雖然提到熱水、運動、發燒等因素可能使 MS 視覺症狀暫時惡化,但這只是文章最後一段中的補充資訊,並非全文主題。全文核心是介紹 MS 與視神經炎,而不是討論氣候變遷、全球暖化或公共衛生事件。

此外,新聞文章通常會包含事件、時間、地點、人物或最新研究等新聞元素;本文沒有這些特徵,而是以持續性的醫學知識為主。

(B) In a script of a TV commercial for a company selling placebo for MS patients.

「販售 MS 病患安慰劑公司的電視廣告腳本」

錯誤。廣告通常會出現產品名稱、功效宣稱、購買誘因、品牌標語或呼籲消費者採取行動。本文沒有介紹任何商品,也沒有鼓勵病患購買特定療法。

此外,placebo 意為「安慰劑」,本身不代表治療 MS 的有效藥物。文章只是描述疾病症狀與降溫方式,並未提出產品治療效果,因此不具備電視廣告的語體特徵。

(C) In a physics textbook.

「物理教科書」

錯誤。本文的主題是神經系統、免疫反應及視覺障礙,屬於醫學或健康科普內容,與物理學的力學、電磁學、熱力學等核心範圍不符。

文中雖然提到 hot showers、exercise、fever 及 cooling 等與熱度相關的現象,但這些只是說明高溫會誘發症狀,並沒有進行熱傳導、能量變化或物理公式的分析,不能因此判定為物理教科書內容。

(D) In an information pamphlet about MS.

「關於多發性硬化症的資訊手冊」

正確。文章完整介紹 MS 的基本概念、可能造成的神經損傷、常見視覺問題、症狀表現、恢復時間,以及高溫引發症狀時的處理方式。這些內容正是醫療資訊手冊常見的疾病衛教內容。

  1. Visual problems in MS are fundamentally caused by which of the following factors?

登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查閱讀理解與因果關係判斷。文章說明,多發性硬化症(Multiple Sclerosis, MS)的免疫系統會攻擊神經纖維外層的髓鞘(myelin insulation),造成神經纖維受損;視神經、控制眼球運動的腦幹區域受影響後,便可能出現視覺障礙。

因此,MS 患者的視覺問題,其根本原因是 受損的神經纖維,即 damaged nerves。

解題方法

先找題目問的核心因果:

“Visual problems in MS are fundamentally caused by which of the following factors?”
MS 的視覺問題,根本上是由下列哪一項因素所造成?

文章第一段明確指出:

“This can cause some of nerve fibers to die, while others become ineffective during a prolonged period of regeneration.”
這會造成部分神經纖維死亡,其他神經纖維則在長期修復期間變得無法正常運作。

接著文章說明神經受損會造成:

“The effects of this nerve damage can include reduced or spasmodic control of the body, and lowered capacity or disruptions of the senses.”
這種神經損傷可能造成身體控制能力下降或痙攣,也可能導致感覺能力降低或感覺功能失調。

視覺屬於感覺功能的一部分,因此文章所指的視覺問題,根本原因就是神經損傷。後文提到高溫、運動或發燒會使症狀暫時惡化,但那是症狀的誘發因素,不是 MS 視覺障礙的根本病因。

關鍵單字與片語

  • multiple sclerosis:多發性硬化症
  • immune system:免疫系統
  • attack:攻擊
  • myelin insulation:髓鞘絕緣層
  • nerve fiber:神經纖維
  • die:死亡
  • become ineffective:變得無效、無法正常運作
  • regeneration:再生、修復
  • nerve damage:神經損傷

先找出文章對 MS 整體症狀的描述:

“The effects of this nerve damage can include reduced or spasmodic control of the body, and lowered capacity or disruptions of the senses.”

翻譯為:

這種神經損傷的影響包括身體控制能力降低或出現痙攣,也包括感覺能力下降或感覺受干擾。

這句明確指出 MS 的影響不只有視覺問題,還包括身體控制與感覺功能異常。因此可推知 MS 的可能症狀不限於 vision(視力)。

文章另指出:

“For many people, a vision problem is the first symptom of MS.”

翻譯為:

對許多人而言,視覺問題是 MS 的第一個症狀。

「第一個症狀」表示視覺問題只是首先出現的症狀,不代表 MS 的症狀只有視覺問題。因此答案為 (B)。

選項分析

(A) Optic neuritis, nystagmus, and diplopia may occur concomitantly.

視神經炎、眼球震顫與複視可能同時發生。

錯誤。文章明確寫道:

“The three disorders are not linked to each other and usually occur separately.”

翻譯為:

這三種疾病彼此沒有關聯,通常分別發生。

選項中的 concomitantly 意為「同時地、同時發生地」,與 usually occur separately 的文章敘述相反。文章強調三者通常各自出現,並未支持三種疾病同時發生的說法。

(B) The possible symptoms of MS are not limited to vision.

MS 的可能症狀不限於視覺。

正確。文章先提到視覺問題是許多患者的第一個症狀,但同時也說明神經損傷會造成:

  • 身體控制能力降低或痙攣
  • 感覺能力下降
  • 感覺受到干擾

因此,MS 的症狀範圍不只包括視力異常,也包括運動控制與其他感覺功能的異常。

其中 not limited to 是重要片語,表示「不限於……」。句型可記為:

A is not limited to B.
A 不限於 B。

Article 1

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) can be a devastating disease. In MS, for reasons still unknown, the body’s immune system attacks the myelin insulation of nerve fibers. This can cause some of nerve fibers to die, while others become ineffective during a prolonged period of regeneration. The effects of this nerve damage can include reduced or spasmodic control of the body, and lowered capacity or disruptions of the senses. For many people, a vision problem is the first symptom of MS.

Optic neuritis, an inflammation of the optic nerve, is the most common visual disorder associated with MS. Double vision (diplopia) and involuntary movement of the eyes (nystagmus) are the two other problems. Nystagmus and diplopia are both linked to inflammation of brainstem areas that control movement of the eye. The three disorders are not linked to each other and usually occur separately.

Symptoms of optic neuritis include blurred vision, dimming of colors, eye pain that’s worsened by eye movement, blind spots and loss of contrast sensitivity. These symptoms may worsen over the first few days or two weeks. Then the condition usually starts improving. Some people recover within a month, while others need up to a year to recover. Most people regain normal or close-to-normal sight.

Temporary flare-ups of optic neuritis symptoms may also occur. Hot showers or baths, exercise or a fever may all trigger dimmed color, blurred vision and other visual problems. These heat-related symptoms resolve when the patient cools off, be it from ice packs, over-the-counter fever reducers, cool drinks, air conditioning or a soak in a cool tub of water.

  1. Based on this article, methods for treating the visual symptoms of MS are most likely to be found by research in which of the following areas of medical science?

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查「根據文章內容判斷疾病所涉及的醫學研究領域」,重點在於掌握:

  1. Multiple Sclerosis(MS,多發性硬化症)主要侵犯神經系統
  2. 視覺症狀與視神經、腦幹及眼球運動控制有關
  3. 由疾病受損的器官與生理機轉,推論最相關的醫學研究領域

文章指出,MS 患者的免疫系統會攻擊神經纖維外的髓鞘,並造成視神經發炎、複視及眼球震顫等視覺問題。因此,治療這些症狀最直接相關的研究領域是神經系統的研究。


解題方法

先找出文章中描述視覺症狀病因與受損部位的關鍵句:

“In MS, for reasons still unknown, the body’s immune system attacks the myelin insulation of nerve fibers.”

翻譯:
「在多發性硬化症中,由於目前仍未知的原因,身體的免疫系統會攻擊神經纖維的髓鞘。」

接著文章明確說明:

“Optic neuritis, an inflammation of the optic nerve, is the most common visual disorder associated with MS.”

翻譯:
「視神經炎,也就是視神經發炎,是與多發性硬化症相關、最常見的視覺障礙。」

此外,複視與眼球震顫也與腦幹中控制眼球運動的區域發炎有關:

“Nystagmus and diplopia are both linked to inflammation of brainstem areas that control movement of the eye.”

翻譯:
「眼球震顫與複視都與腦幹中控制眼球運動區域的發炎有關。」

由此可知,文章所談的病變位置包括:

  • 神經纖維
  • 髓鞘
  • 視神經
  • 腦幹
  • 控制眼球運動的神經區域

這些都屬於神經系統,因此答案為 the study of the nervous system。


選項分析

(A) The study of gastrointestinal system

「消化系統的研究」

錯誤。gastrointestinal system 指胃腸道及相關消化器官,主要研究食道、胃、小腸、大腸等構造與功能。文章完全沒有提到消化、吸收、腸胃道或腹部器官;MS 的視覺症狀也不是由消化系統受損直接造成。

(B) The study of the nervous system

「神經系統的研究」

正確。MS 會破壞神經纖維的髓鞘,而 optic neuritis 涉及視神經發炎,diplopia 與 nystagmus 又涉及腦幹及眼球運動控制區域。視神經與腦幹皆屬神經系統,因此研究視覺症狀的治療方法,最可能歸於神經科學或神經醫學領域。

(C) The study of cognitive disorder

「認知障礙的研究」

錯誤。cognitive disorder 指記憶、注意力、判斷力、語言能力等認知功能的障礙。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查閱讀理解中的「主旨判斷」與「文章標題選擇」。判斷標題時,必須掌握文章反覆討論的核心主題,而不能只依據其中一個段落或細節。

本文雖然先介紹 Multiple Sclerosis(多發性硬化症,MS)的基本機轉與症狀,但全文重點集中在 MS 所引起的視覺障礙,尤其是:

  • optic neuritis:視神經炎
  • diplopia:複視、雙重視覺
  • nystagmus:眼球震顫
  • 這些視覺症狀的表現、病程與誘發因素
  • 熱、運動、發燒造成的暫時性視覺惡化

因此,最適合的標題應涵蓋「MS 相關的視覺問題」。

解題方法

標題題的判斷原則如下:

  1. 先找文章各段落共同反覆出現的主題。
  2. 排除只涵蓋單一細節的選項。
  3. 注意標題是否加入文章沒有充分討論的內容,例如完整病因、治療方式。
  4. 選擇涵蓋範圍適中、最能代表全文的標題。

本文的段落重點可整理如下:

  • 第一段:MS 會破壞神經纖維的髓鞘,許多人最先出現視力問題。
  • 第二段:介紹三種與 MS 有關的視覺障礙。
  • 第三段:詳細說明視神經炎的症狀與恢復情形。
  • 第四段:說明熱、運動、發燒會暫時誘發視覺症狀,以及降溫後的改善方式。

四段都圍繞著「MS 所造成的視覺問題」,故選擇 Visual Problems Associated with MS 最恰當。

定位答案的關鍵句

文章第二段明確指出:

“Optic neuritis, an inflammation of the optic nerve, is the most common visual disorder associated with MS.”

翻譯為:

「視神經炎是視神經的發炎,也是與多發性硬化症相關的最常見視覺障礙。」

此外,第一段也指出:

“For many people, a vision problem is the first symptom of MS.”

翻譯為:

「對許多人而言,視覺問題是多發性硬化症的第一個症狀。」

這兩句直接確立文章的核心:MS 與視覺問題之間的關聯。

選項分析

(A) MS Sufferers Show a Variety of Symptoms

意思是:「MS 患者呈現各種不同症狀。」

此選項過於廣泛。文章雖然提到 MS 可能造成身體控制能力下降、感覺異常等症狀,但後文幾乎全部集中在視覺障礙,包括視神經炎、複視、眼球震顫、視力模糊、色彩變暗及對比敏感度喪失等。因此,A 只抓到「症狀很多」這個概括概念,沒有凸顯文章最主要的視覺主題,錯誤。

(B) Causes, Effects and Treatments of MS Symptoms

意思是:「MS 症狀的原因、影響與治療。」

此選項有兩個問題:

  1. 文章沒有完整介紹 MS 的病因。文中只說原因仍然未知:

“for reasons still unknown”
意為「原因目前仍不明」。

  1. 文章也沒有系統性介紹 MS 症狀的治療方法。第四段提到冰敷、退燒藥、冷飲、空調等,主要是讓因高溫誘發的暫時性視覺症狀緩解,不能概括為 MS 症狀的完整治療。

因此,B 的範圍過大,且把局部的症狀緩解措施擴大解讀成「治療 MS 症狀」,不符合全文內容。

(C) The Use of Temperature in Treating MS

意思是:「利用溫度治療 MS。」

本文確實提到高溫會使症狀暫時惡化,降溫後症狀會緩解,例如:

“Hot showers or baths, exercise or a fever may all trigger dimmed color, blurred vision and other visual problems.”

意思是:

Article 2

Before babies learn to talk and have no idea of dance, they express happiness through simple rhythmic movements or what we later recognize as simple dances. However, humans are not the only species that can dance. There are birds that actually have group dances: circling, bowing, advancing, and retreating in unison. Some species could learn rhythm from birds. For example, bees flirt with dance as part of their mating rituals.

Nevertheless, it is only human beings that have adapted dance to therapeutic purposes. Dance as therapy has a long history. Primitive peoples first danced instinctively and, after a while, found that repeated rhythmic movements produced a good feeling. Associations were formed between dance and this positive effect on the mind and emotions. This was the birth of dance therapy.

Dance has always seemed to have a magic healing power. It was used for a wide variety of purposes and on different occasions: religious ceremonies, war dances, hunting dances, rain dances, planting and harvesting dances, marriage and funeral dances. Sadly, today many “advanced” industrial societies have lost many original functions of dance. Purposeful dances have been replaced, for example, with rave dancing which involves shaking your body at a nightclub. Even so, in these cases, however, the ritualistic and therapeutic effect of dance can still be seen: the low lights, loud insistent rhythms, and group activity, often building up into a kind of mass hysteria or ecstasy.

But, the “primitive” use of dance as therapy has recently seen a huge revival. Never before has there been such interest in courses offering dance therapy. There are nearly two million websites for dance therapy on the Internet, and dance therapy groups around the world combine pleasure with health and well-being. Dance therapy nowadays, in fact, is taken very seriously by both alternative and conventional medical practitioners. It would seem that the “dance of life” continues to move us all.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查英文閱讀測驗中的「文章主旨與標題判斷」。判斷標題時,必須統整全文主軸,不能只依據其中一段或某個細節。理想標題通常要:

  1. 涵蓋文章主要內容。
  2. 能統整各段發展。
  3. 不過度狹隘,也不偏離文章重點。

本文內容依序談到:

  • 人類與其他物種的節奏性動作。
  • 舞蹈如何發展成為治療方式。
  • 舞蹈在宗教、戰爭、狩獵、婚喪等場合的功能。
  • 現代社會中舞蹈治療的復興與醫療價值。

因此,文章核心是「舞蹈作為治療方式的起源、發展、功能與現代復興」。

解題方法

先觀察各段的功能,再找能涵蓋全文的關鍵概念。

第二段明確說明舞蹈治療的起源:

This was the birth of dance therapy.
這就是舞蹈治療的誕生。

第三段進一步說明舞蹈具有療癒力量,且被運用於各種場合:

Dance has always seemed to have a magic healing power.
舞蹈一直似乎具有神奇的療癒力量。

第四段則指出現代社會重新重視舞蹈治療:

But, the “primitive” use of dance as therapy has recently seen a huge revival.
然而,舞蹈作為治療的「原始」用途,近來又大幅復興。

文章最後再次扣回主旨:

Dance therapy nowadays, in fact, is taken very seriously by both alternative and conventional medical practitioners.
事實上,如今替代醫療與傳統醫療的執業者都非常認真看待舞蹈治療。

上述句子共同顯示,全文焦點不只是「跳舞」本身,而是舞蹈的治療功能及其歷史演變。

關鍵單字與片語

  • rhythmic movement:有節奏的動作
  • in unison:一致地;同步地
  • mating ritual:求偶儀式
  • therapeutic purpose:治療目的
  • dance therapy:舞蹈治療
  • primitive peoples:原始民族
  • instinctively:本能地
  • repeated rhythmic movements:反覆的節奏性動作
  • positive effect:正面效果
  • mind and emotions:心智與情緒
  • healing power:療癒力量
  • a wide variety of:各式各樣的
  • religious ceremony:宗教儀式
  • rave dancing:銳舞;狂歡舞
  • ritualistic effect:儀式性的效果
  • therapeutic effect:治療效果
  • mass hysteria:群體歇斯底里
  • ecstasy:狂喜;極度興奮
  • revival:復興
  • alternative medical practitioner:替代醫療從業人員
  • conventional medical practitioner:傳統醫療從業人員

文法與語意重點

  1. It is only human beings that...

Nevertheless, it is only human beings that have adapted dance to therapeutic purposes.

此句為強調句型,強調對象是 human beings,意為「只有人類將舞蹈運用於治療目的」。

登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查閱讀理解中的「因果關係定位」與「指代內容判斷」。

題目問的是 dance therapy(舞蹈治療)誕生的原因。解題重點是找出文章中直接說明「舞蹈治療由何而來」的句子,而不是選擇文章後段提到的現代發展或其他舞蹈種類。

文章明確指出:

“Primitive peoples first danced instinctively and, after a while, found that repeated rhythmic movements produced a good feeling. Associations were formed between dance and this positive effect on the mind and emotions. This was the birth of dance therapy.”

翻譯為:

「原始人最初是本能地跳舞,過了一段時間後,他們發現反覆的節奏性動作會產生良好的感受。舞蹈與這種對心智及情緒的正面效果之間建立了關聯。這就是舞蹈治療的誕生。」

因此,舞蹈治療的起源是原始人發現重複的律動能帶來正面感受,進而將舞蹈與心理、情緒上的良好效果連結起來。


解題方法

先抓題目關鍵字:

  • reason for the birth:誕生的原因
  • dance therapy:舞蹈治療
  • birth:誕生、起源

接著回文章尋找與 “birth of dance therapy” 直接相關的句子。文章已明確使用:

“This was the birth of dance therapy.”

其中 This 指的是前兩句所描述的事件,也就是:

  1. 原始人反覆進行節奏性動作;
  2. 發現這些動作帶來良好的感受;
  3. 建立舞蹈與心理、情緒正面效果之間的關聯。

選項 B 完整對應上述內容,因此正確。


選項分析

(A) It was found that there were birds that actually had group dances.
「人們發現有些鳥類確實會進行團體舞蹈。」

錯誤。文章第一段提到鳥類團體舞蹈,是為了說明人類並非唯一會跳舞的物種。這項資訊沒有被說成舞蹈治療的起源,也沒有涉及舞蹈對心理與情緒的正面效果。

(B) Primitive peoples found that repeated rhythmic movements created a positive feeling.
「原始人發現重複的節奏性動作會產生正面感受。」

正確。這正是文章說明舞蹈治療誕生原因的核心內容。關鍵對應原文:

“repeated rhythmic movements produced a good feeling”

其中:

  • repeated:重複的
  • rhythmic movements:有節奏的動作、律動
  • produced:產生、帶來
  • a good feeling:良好的感受、正面感覺

文章接著說舞蹈與心智、情緒的正面效果建立關聯,並以 “This was the birth of dance therapy” 作結,因果關係十分直接。

(C) Conventional medical practitioners were asked to offer courses on therapeutic purposes.
「傳統醫療從業人員被要求開設治療用途的課程。」

錯誤。文章最後一段才提到:

“Dance therapy nowadays, in fact, is taken very seriously by both alternative and conventional medical practitioners.”

意思是「如今,另類醫療與傳統醫療從業人員都非常認真看待舞蹈治療」。這描述的是舞蹈治療在現代受到重視的情形,不是它最初誕生的原因。

登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題是閱讀理解中的「找出不符合文章內容」題型,關鍵在於:

  • 先辨認題目問的是 NOT true,必須找「錯誤的敘述」。
  • 將選項逐一對照文章中描述夜店跳舞的句子。
  • 注意否定字眼:
  • lacks:缺乏
  • therapeutic effect:治療效果
    選項若將文章明確肯定的內容改成否定,通常就是答案。

關鍵字與片語

  • at the nightclub:在夜店
  • rave dancing:銳舞、狂歡舞蹈
  • shaking your body:搖晃身體
  • group activity:團體活動
  • ritualistic effect:儀式性的效果
  • therapeutic effect:治療性的效果
  • low lights:昏暗的燈光
  • loud insistent rhythms:大聲且持續反覆的節奏
  • build up into:逐漸形成、累積成
  • mass hysteria:群體歇斯底里
  • ecstasy:狂喜、極度興奮的情緒
  • pleasurable emotion:愉悅的情緒

解題方法

定位文章第三段描述夜店跳舞的句子:

Purposeful dances have been replaced, for example, with rave dancing which involves shaking your body at a nightclub.
例如,具有明確目的的舞蹈已被銳舞取代;銳舞是在夜店搖晃身體的舞蹈。

接著看後一句:

Even so, in these cases, however, the ritualistic and therapeutic effect of dance can still be seen: the low lights, loud insistent rhythms, and group activity, often building up into a kind of mass hysteria or ecstasy.

翻譯為:

即使如此,在這些情況下,舞蹈的儀式性與治療性效果仍然可以看見:昏暗的燈光、大聲而持續的節奏,以及團體活動,常常逐漸形成某種群體歇斯底里或狂喜狀態。

文章明確指出夜店跳舞仍具有:

  1. group activity:團體活動;
  2. ritualistic effect:儀式性效果;
  3. therapeutic effect:治療性效果;
  4. 並且可能帶來 ecstasy,即狂喜、愉悅與高度興奮的情緒。

因此,只有宣稱夜店跳舞「缺乏治療效果」的選項與原文相反。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題為閱讀理解題,考查:

  1. 能否掌握文章主旨與細節。
  2. 能否辨識限定範圍的關鍵語句。
  3. 能否區分「一般跳舞」與「將舞蹈用於治療」的不同概念。

文章指出,鳥類、蜜蜂等動物也會進行具有節奏或儀式性的動作;但只有人類將舞蹈發展成具有治療目的的活動。

解題方法

先找出題幹詢問的核心:哪一項關於 dance therapy 的敘述正確。

定位文章中直接談到舞蹈治療起源與適用對象的句子:

“Nevertheless, it is only human beings that have adapted dance to therapeutic purposes.”

翻譯:然而,只有人類將舞蹈運用於治療目的。

句型 it is only A that... 表示「只有 A……」。此句明確說明:動物雖然也會跳舞或做有節奏的動作,但只有人類發展出 dance therapy。

因此答案為 (B)。

文章後段也補充:

“Dance therapy nowadays, in fact, is taken very seriously by both alternative and conventional medical practitioners.”

翻譯:事實上,現今另類醫療與傳統醫療的醫療從業人員,都非常認真看待舞蹈治療。

這句可直接排除選項 (C)。

選項分析

(A) Dance therapy is one form of flirting.
舞蹈治療是調情的一種形式。

錯誤。文章提到:

“For example, bees flirt with dance as part of their mating rituals.”

翻譯:例如,蜜蜂以舞蹈調情,作為交配儀式的一部分。

此處的 flirt with dance 是指蜜蜂利用舞蹈進行求偶,與 dance therapy 無關。選項將「蜜蜂以舞蹈求偶」誤說成「舞蹈治療是調情」,混淆不同概念。

(B) Dance therapy is something only human beings do.
舞蹈治療是只有人類會做的事。

正確。文章明確指出:

“it is only human beings that have adapted dance to therapeutic purposes.”

其中:

  • only human beings:只有人類
  • adapt A to B:將 A 調整、運用於 B
  • therapeutic purposes:治療目的

鳥類與蜜蜂也會進行舞蹈或節奏動作,但只有人類將舞蹈用於治療,因此本項符合文章內容。

(C) Medical practitioners do not take dance therapy seriously.
醫療從業人員並不認真看待舞蹈治療。

錯誤。文章明確表示:

Purposeful dances have been replaced, for example, with rave dancing which involves shaking your body at a nightclub. Even so, in these cases, however, the ritualistic and therapeutic effect of dance can still be seen: the low lights, loud insistent rhythms, and group activity, often building up into a kind of mass hysteria or ecstasy.

But, the “primitive” use of dance as therapy has recently seen a huge revival. Never before has there been such interest in courses offering dance therapy. There are nearly two million websites for dance therapy on the Internet, and dance therapy groups around the world combine pleasure with health and well-being. Dance therapy nowadays, in fact, is taken very seriously by both alternative and conventional medical practitioners. It would seem that the “dance of life” continues to move us all.
