第 1 題

The fax machine and the telephone ______ on the separate line.

(A) am

(B) is

(C) are

(D) be

登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念:主詞與動詞的一致

本題考「主詞與 be 動詞的數一致」。英文句子中,動詞必須配合主詞的單複數:

  • 單數主詞:使用 is
  • 複數主詞:使用 are
  • 第一人稱單數主詞 I:使用 am
  • 原形動詞 be 通常不能直接作為現在式主要動詞使用

題幹主詞為:

The fax machine and the telephone

其中 A and B 連接兩個名詞,表示「A 和 B」,視為複數主詞,因此 be 動詞須使用 are。

解題方法

先找出句子的主詞:

The fax machine and the telephone

主詞由兩個名詞以 and 連接,屬於複數。再觀察句子時態為現在式,空格後接介系詞片語:

on the separate line

此處需要填入現在式 be 動詞,因此選擇複數形式 are。

完整句子為:

The fax machine and the telephone are on the separate line.
傳真機和電話位於同一條獨立線路上。

題幹中定位答案的關鍵句就是:

The fax machine and the telephone ______ on the separate line.
傳真機和電話位於該獨立線路上。

主詞中的 fax machine 與 telephone 由 and 連接,構成複數主詞,故空格填 are。

第 2 題

Attach this cable ______ the computer.

(A) with

(B) into

(C) in

(D) to

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 attach 的固定搭配」:

attach A to B
將 A 連接、附加、固定到 B

題幹中的 this cable 是被連接的物件,the computer 是連接的對象,因此應使用介系詞 to。

解題方法

題幹原文:

Attach this cable ______ the computer.
將這條纜線連接到這台電腦。

套用固定句型:

attach + A + to + B

代入後為:

Attach this cable to the computer.

其中:

  • Attach:連接;附加;固定
  • cable:纜線;電纜
  • computer:電腦
  • attach this cable to the computer:將這條纜線連接到這台電腦

選項分析

(A) with

with 表示「和……一起」或「使用……」,不符合 attach A to B 的固定搭配。

  • 錯誤:Attach this cable with the computer.
  • 正確:Attach this cable to the computer.

(B) into

into 表示「進入……裡面」,常用於表示物體插入某個空間或容器,例如:

第 3 題

Tomorrow _____ a new day with no mistakes in it.

(A) is

(B) are

(C) is going

(D) is yet to

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. 主詞與動詞的數一致
  2. be 動詞的基本用法
  3. 句意與句型完整性判斷

題幹主詞是 Tomorrow,此處表示「明天」這一天,視為單數名詞。句型為:

Tomorrow+be 動詞+名詞片語\text{Tomorrow}+\text{be 動詞}+\text{名詞片語}

其中 a new day 是名詞片語,表示「新的一天」,因此需要使用單數 be 動詞 is。

解題方法

定位題幹關鍵句:

Tomorrow _____ a new day with no mistakes in it.
明天是嶄新的一天,裡面沒有任何錯誤。

句子的基本結構是:

  • Tomorrow:主詞,明天
  • is:連綴動詞,連接主詞與主詞補語
  • a new day:主詞補語,嶄新的一天
  • with no mistakes in it:介系詞片語,修飾 a new day,表示「其中沒有錯誤」

因為主詞 Tomorrow 為單數,且後方是名詞補語 a new day,故應填入 is。

完整句為:

Tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it.
明天是嶄新的一天,裡面沒有任何錯誤。

選項分析

(A) is:正確

is 是單數主詞現在式所使用的 be 動詞。此處用來連接主詞 Tomorrow 與主詞補語 a new day:

Tomorrow is a new day.

句型與主詞動詞一致皆正確。

(B) are:錯誤

are 用於複數主詞及主詞 you。本題的 Tomorrow 表示單數的「明天」,不是複數,因此不能使用 are。

錯誤形式:

Tomorrow are a new day.

第 4 題

The case has not been solved, and nearly two and a half years later, Gilberto is still trying to make sense of what ______ that night.

(A) occurred

(B) take place

(C) happened

(D) is happened

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「疑問詞引導的名詞子句」與「過去式動詞的使用」。

句型如下:

make sense of + what + 動詞

其中:

  • what occurred that night 是名詞子句,作為介系詞 of 的受詞。
  • what 本身是子句主詞,意為「那晚所發生的事情」。
  • occurred 是動詞 occur 的過去式,意為「發生」。

因為句中明確指出 that night,表示事件發生在過去特定時間,因此空格應填過去式動詞。


定位答案的關鍵句

The case has not been solved, and nearly two and a half years later, Gilberto is still trying to make sense of what ______ that night.

翻譯:

這起案件尚未偵破,而將近兩年半後,Gilberto 仍然試圖理解那晚究竟發生了什麼事。

空格後方的 that night 指向過去某個特定夜晚;搭配正式語氣的 make sense of what occurred,最符合題意與語體的是 occurred。


解題方法

先判斷空格中的動詞需要符合三項條件:

  1. 必須能表達「發生」。
  2. 必須使用過去式。
  3. 必須能直接放在 what 所引導的名詞子句中。

套入句子:

make sense of what occurred that night

結構為:

  • make sense of:理解、弄清楚
  • what occurred that night:那晚發生的事情

整句意思通順,文法正確,因此選 (A) occurred。


選項分析

(A) occurred

occur 意為「發生」,通常是不及物動詞,不能直接接受詞。

what occurred that night

意為「那晚發生了什麼事」,其中 what 是主詞,occurred 是過去式動詞,結構完整。

此外,occur 比 happen 正式,與案件敘述、調查報告等語境相當吻合。

(A) 正確。


(B) take place

take place 也是「發生、舉行」的片語,但此處形式不正確。

題幹描述的是過去特定夜晚,應使用過去式:

what took place that night

第 5 題

The number of immigrant students who have arrived in the last three years and speak a language other than Mandarin has nearly doubled in my school district ____ 2014.

(A) before

(B) since

(C) after

(D) in

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「時間介系詞」的用法,重點在於:

  • since + 過去的時間點:自某個時間點起,一直到現在。
  • in + 年份:表示「在某一年」發生的事情。
  • before + 時間:表示「在某時間以前」。
  • after + 時間:表示「在某時間以後」。

題幹主句使用現在完成式 has nearly doubled,表示「從過去某時間開始,到現在為止,數量幾乎增加一倍」。因此空格應填表示起始時間點的 since。

關鍵單字與片語

  • the number of + 複數名詞:……的數量,作單數看待
  • immigrant students:移民學生
  • arrive:抵達
  • in the last three years:在最近三年內
  • speak a language other than Mandarin:說除了普通話以外的語言
  • nearly:幾乎
  • double:加倍;變成兩倍
  • school district:學區
  • since 2014:自 2014 年起

解題方法

定位答案的關鍵句是:

The number of immigrant students who have arrived in the last three years and speak a language other than Mandarin has nearly doubled in my school district ____ 2014.

翻譯:

在我的學區,自 2014 年起,最近三年內抵達、且說普通話以外語言的移民學生人數幾乎增加了一倍。

句中的 has nearly doubled 是現在完成式,表示變化從過去開始,持續或累積到現在。後方需要接一個「起始時間點」,因此使用:

has nearly doubled+since 2014\text{has nearly doubled} + \text{since 2014}

完整結構為:

第 6 題

This year, one in ______ high schoolers in the district are immigrant students.

(A) seven

(B) seventh

(C) sevenness

(D) sevenless

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「比例表達法」與「基數詞、序數詞的詞性辨識」。

片語 one in seven + 複數名詞 表示「每七人之中有一人」,也就是比例 17\frac{1}{7}。其中:

  • one:一個人、一名學生
  • in:在……之中
  • seven:基數詞「七」,表示數量
  • high schoolers:高中生
  • immigrant students:移民學生

因此,句子需要填入表示「七人」中數量概念的基數詞 seven。

題幹定位與翻譯

題幹原文:

This year, one in ______ high schoolers in the district are immigrant students.

翻譯:

今年,該學區每七名高中生中,就有一名是移民學生。

句中的 one in seven high schoolers 是固定的比例表達,意思是「每七名高中生中有一名」。

解題方法

先判斷空格位於 one in ______ high schoolers 中,空格後面直接接複數名詞 high schoolers。

比例句型為:

one in+基數詞+複數名詞\text{one in} + \text{基數詞} + \text{複數名詞}

常見例句:

  • one in five people:每五人中有一人
  • one in ten children:每十名兒童中有一名
  • three in four adults:每四名成人中有三名

本題的結構是:

one in seven high schoolers\text{one in seven high schoolers}

表示:

17\frac{1}{7}

所以空格必須填入基數詞 seven。

選項分析

(A) seven

seven 是基數詞,表示「七」,可用於表示數量與比例。

句型 one in seven high schoolers 表示「每七名高中生中有一名」,符合文法與語意。

因此,(A) 正確。

第 7 題

There are also signs that new immigrants in Taiwan may be increasingly ________.

(A) vulnerable

(B) endurable

(C) inaccurate

(D) compatible

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「語意判斷」與「形容詞搭配」。空格位於 increasingly 之後,需填入形容詞,表示「新移民在臺灣的處境逐漸變得……」。

句型為:

be increasingly + 形容詞
逐漸變得更加……

題幹中的關鍵語意是:新移民可能愈來愈容易受到傷害、受到不利影響。因此應選表示「脆弱的、易受傷害的」的 vulnerable。

解題方法

先確認詞性:

  • increasingly 是副詞,修飾後方形容詞。
  • be increasingly ________ 需要填入形容詞。

再依上下文判斷語意。題幹提到新移民在臺灣的處境出現某些「跡象」,而新移民通常可能面臨語言、文化、社會適應及資源取得等方面的弱勢,因此「愈來愈容易受到傷害或不利對待」最符合語境。

完整句意為:

There are also signs that new immigrants in Taiwan may be increasingly vulnerable.
也有跡象顯示,在臺灣的新移民可能愈來愈容易受到傷害/處於弱勢。

選項分析

(A) vulnerable

vulnerable 作形容詞,意為「脆弱的、易受傷害的、容易受到攻擊或不利影響的」。

常見搭配包括:

  • be vulnerable to disease:容易感染疾病
  • be vulnerable to exploitation:容易受到剝削
  • vulnerable groups:弱勢群體
  • socially vulnerable:在社會上處於弱勢

放入題幹後:

new immigrants in Taiwan may be increasingly vulnerable

表示「臺灣的新移民可能愈來愈處於弱勢、愈容易受到傷害」,文法與語意皆正確。

(B) endurable

第 8 題

More than 60 people have been killed by gunshot wounds each year in the city for the past several years. People of color are disproportionately ______.

(A) affect

(B) affective

(C) affection

(D) affected

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「被動語態」與詞性辨識。

句子的主詞是 People of color,意思是「有色人種」。語意上,他們是「受到影響」的一方,因此需要使用過去分詞 affected,形成被動語態:

主詞+be動詞+過去分詞\text{主詞}+\text{be動詞}+\text{過去分詞}

題幹中的 are disproportionately affected 意為「受到不成比例的影響」,也就是有色人種遭受槍擊傷害的比例偏高。

解題方法

定位答案的關鍵句為:

People of color are disproportionately ______.

翻譯:

有色人種受到不成比例的影響。

主詞 People of color 是接受影響的對象,不是主動「影響別人」的施事者,因此要使用被動結構:

People of color+are+affected\text{People of color}+\text{are}+\text{affected}

完整句子為:

People of color are disproportionately affected.

其中:

  • are:be動詞,配合複數主詞 People
  • affected:過去分詞,與 are 構成被動語態
  • disproportionately:副詞,修飾 affected,表示「不成比例地」

選項分析

(A) affect

affect 是動詞,主要意思是「影響」。

若填入後為:

People of color are disproportionately affect.

這會形成「be動詞 + 動詞原形」的錯誤結構。被動語態必須使用過去分詞 affected,不能使用原形 affect。

(B) affective

affective 是形容詞,意思是「情感的、情緒的」。

第 9 題

Many victims were fatally shot in what appeared to be robberies, because non-English speaking immigrants may be targeted because they are less likely to ______ police.

(A) notable

(B) notify

(C) notice

(D) note

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. 詞性辨識:四個選項皆源自字根 not-,但詞性與意思不同。
  2. 固定搭配與語意:notify police 表示「通知警方」。
  3. 句型:be likely to + 原形動詞,表示「很可能……」;否定形式 be less likely to + 原形動詞 表示「較不可能……」。

句中:

non-English speaking immigrants may be targeted because they are less likely to ______ police.

空格位於 to 之後,因此必須填入原形動詞,且語意必須是「通知警方」。


關鍵單字與片語

  • victim:受害者
  • fatally:致命地;造成死亡地
  • be shot:中槍;遭槍擊
  • robbery:搶劫
  • what appeared to be ...:看似是……的事物
  • non-English speaking immigrants:不講英語的移民
  • target:以……為目標;鎖定
  • be targeted:成為被鎖定的對象
  • be less likely to V:較不可能做某事
  • notify:通知;告知
  • police:警方;警察單位

解題方法

先觀察空格前方的句型:

be less likely to+原形動詞\text{be less likely to} + \text{原形動詞}

四個選項中,符合原形動詞詞性的有 notify、notice、note。接著根據句意判斷:

不講英語的移民可能較不會「通知警方」,因此容易成為犯罪者的目標。最自然的搭配是:

notify police=通知警方\text{notify police} = \text{通知警方}

完整句意為:

許多受害者遭到致命槍擊,案件表面上看似是搶劫,因為不講英語的移民可能會成為目標,原因在於他們較不可能通知警方。

因此空格應填 notify。


題幹定位與翻譯

定位答案的關鍵句為:

because non-English speaking immigrants may be targeted because they are less likely to ______ police.

其中 less likely to ______ police 的意思是「較不可能通知警方」。notify 與 police 組成最符合語意的動詞片語。

前半句:

Many victims were fatally shot in what appeared to be robberies

第 10 題

In Ramirez’s case, older teenage boys seemed to have been after him. On a few occasions, the boy came home beaten up. Once, he was robbed of his cellphone.

“He was _______,” his father recalled.

(A) bullied

(B) bulldozed

(C) bulldogged

(D) bulletined

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「上下文語意判斷」,重點是根據受害情境選出最符合的動詞。

題幹描述:

“In Ramirez’s case, older teenage boys seemed to have been after him.”
就 Ramirez 的情況而言,年紀較大的青少年男孩似乎一直在找他的麻煩。

“On a few occasions, the boy came home beaten up. Once, he was robbed of his cellphone.”
有幾次,這名男孩回家時身上被打得鼻青臉腫。有一次,他的手機還被搶走。

因此,父親回憶說:

“He was _______.”
「他受到霸凌。」

其中「被毆打」與「被搶劫」顯示男孩長期遭到年長少年欺負、威脅,最符合的字是 bullied。

解題方法

先從語境判斷男孩所遭遇的事件:

  • 年長少年一直找他的麻煩。
  • 他曾多次被打。
  • 他的手機曾被搶走。

這些行為共同指向「霸凌、欺負、恐嚇」的概念。句型為:

He was + 過去分詞

因此空格需要填入一個能表示「被欺負、被霸凌」的過去分詞。bullied 正是動詞 bully 的過去分詞,意思是「被霸凌、被欺負」。

選項分析

(A) bullied

bully 是「欺負、霸凌、威脅」;bullied 是過去式與過去分詞。

He was bullied.
他受到霸凌/他被人欺負。

此選項符合上下文中被毆打、被搶劫,以及年長少年持續找麻煩的情境,且文法上符合被動語態:

主詞+be 動詞+過去分詞\text{主詞}+\text{be 動詞}+\text{過去分詞}

所以 (A) 正確。

(B) bulldozed

bulldoze 原指「用推土機推平」,也可引申為「強行壓過、脅迫某人接受」。

He was bulldozed.

第 11 題

Bats are nature’s pest patrol. Every night the winged mammals venture forth from their caves and roosts to chow down on millions of ______.

(A) consent

(B) insects

(C) incentives

(D) insecurities

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. 字彙辨義
  2. 固定片語 chow down on 的語意
  3. 上下文語意判斷
  4. 數量詞後名詞的形式

句中:

  • Bats:蝙蝠
  • nature’s pest patrol:大自然的害蟲巡邏隊
  • venture forth:出發、外出
  • caves and roosts:洞穴與棲息處
  • chow down on:大吃、大量食用
  • millions of:數百萬的

蝙蝠夜間外出覓食,主要捕食大量昆蟲,因此空格應填入具有「昆蟲」意義的複數名詞。

解題方法

先觀察句型:

Every night the winged mammals venture forth from their caves and roosts to chow down on millions of ______.

millions of 後面需要接可數名詞複數或不可數名詞。四個選項中,只有 insects 符合「蝙蝠夜間大量捕食的對象」這項語意。

定位答案的關鍵語句為:

Bats are nature’s pest patrol.
蝙蝠是大自然的害蟲巡邏隊。

既然蝙蝠被比喻為負責消滅害蟲的巡邏隊,後文所說牠們「大吃數百萬的……」應是害蟲,也就是昆蟲。

完整句意為:

蝙蝠是大自然的害蟲巡邏隊。這些有翅膀的哺乳動物每天晚上會從洞穴和棲息處出發,大吃數百萬隻昆蟲。

選項分析

(A) consent

consent 是「同意、允許」,可作動詞或名詞,通常指人的意願或許可。

第 12 題

But habitat loss and climate change, as well as infectious diseases, are _________ bats’ ability to do their job.

(A) hampering

(B) hammering

(C) humming

(D) humiliating

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「語境判斷」,同時檢驗主詞與動詞的搭配。

題幹句意為:

But habitat loss and climate change, as well as infectious diseases, are _________ bats’ ability to do their job.
然而,棲地喪失與氣候變遷,以及傳染病,正在妨礙蝙蝠履行其生態功能的能力。

句中空格後接名詞片語 bats’ ability,需要填入表示「妨礙、阻撓」的動詞。主詞為複數,因此使用現在進行式 are + V-ing。


解題方法

先判斷語意:

  • 棲地喪失、氣候變遷與傳染病,會使蝙蝠的生存與活動受到阻礙。
  • 因此空格需要「阻礙、妨礙」之意。
  • hamper 正好表示「妨礙、阻撓,使某事更困難」。

句型為:

複數主詞+are+V-ing+受詞\text{複數主詞}+\text{are}+\text{V-ing}+\text{受詞}

套入後:

habitat loss and climate change ... are hampering bats’ ability

意思是「棲地喪失與氣候變遷等因素正在妨礙蝙蝠的能力」,文法與語意皆成立。


關鍵單字與片語

  • habitat loss:棲地喪失
  • climate change:氣候變遷
  • infectious diseases:傳染病
  • hamper:妨礙、阻撓,使進行得更困難
  • ability:能力
  • do their job:執行其工作、發揮其功能
  • as well as:以及,也包括
  • bats’ ability:蝙蝠的能力;bats’ 是複數名詞所有格

此處 do their job 並非指蝙蝠從事一般職業,而是指蝙蝠在生態系中的功能,例如捕食昆蟲、傳播花粉或散播種子。


選項分析

(A) hampering

hamper 是「妨礙、阻撓」,符合題幹語意。
are hampering 為現在進行式,表示這些環境與疾病因素目前正持續造成影響。

are hampering bats’ ability
正在妨礙蝙蝠的能力

第 13 題

In California’s natural preserves, bats have adapted to occasional wildfires.

Scientists wanted to see how these changes might be influencing ______.

(A) biochemistry

(B) biodiesel

(C) biodiversity

(D) bioengineering

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. 生物學相關字彙辨析
  2. 字根 bio- 的字義
  3. 語意搭配與上下文判讀

題幹描述加州自然保護區中的蝙蝠已適應偶發的野火,科學家想研究這些變化可能如何影響某項「生態層面的現象」。因此,空格應填入與「生物多樣性」相關的名詞。


題幹定位與翻譯

關鍵句為:

Scientists wanted to see how these changes might be influencing ______.

翻譯:

科學家想了解這些變化可能正在如何影響____。

前一句提到:

In California’s natural preserves, bats have adapted to occasional wildfires.

翻譯:

在加州的自然保護區中,蝙蝠已經適應偶發的野火。

題幹討論的是「蝙蝠適應野火後,對整個自然保護區內生物與生態系統的影響」。這種影響涉及物種數量、物種分布與生態系統的整體變化,最符合 biodiversity。


解題方法

先觀察四個選項的字首:

  • bio-:生物、生命
  • biochemistry:生物化學
  • biodiesel:生質柴油
  • biodiversity:生物多樣性
  • bioengineering:生物工程

再將各選項代入句中:

Scientists wanted to see how these changes might be influencing biodiversity.

語意為:

科學家想了解這些變化可能如何影響生物多樣性。

句意完整且符合生態學情境,因此選擇 biodiversity。


選項分析

(A) biochemistry

biochemistry 意為「生物化學」,研究生物體內的化學物質與化學反應,例如蛋白質、酵素、DNA及細胞代謝。

若填入句中:

Scientists wanted to see how these changes might be influencing biochemistry.

意思是:

科學家想了解這些變化可能如何影響生物化學。

此選項著重細胞或分子層次的化學機制,與題幹所描述的野火、自然保護區及蝙蝠族群的生態影響不符,因此錯誤。

(B) biodiesel

biodiesel 意為「生質柴油」,是一種可由植物油、動物脂肪等生物來源製成的燃料。

若填入句中,會變成:

科學家想了解蝙蝠適應野火的變化如何影響生質柴油。

蝙蝠與野火對燃料製造沒有直接語意關聯,句意明顯不合理,因此錯誤。

(C) biodiversity

biodiversity 意為「生物多樣性」,指一個地區中生物種類、基因及生態系統的多樣程度。

若填入句中:

第 14 題

Seventeen bat species call these forests home. The study revealed that eight of them tended to frequent the unburned patches, whereas 11 expanded to the burned areas, while some species visited both. This is a proof that some species of bats ______ from wildfire.

(A) beneficial

(B) benefit

(C) benevolence

(D) belittle

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. 動詞片語 benefit from
  • benefit from:從……受益、因……獲益
  1. 主詞與動詞一致
  • 主詞為複數名詞 some species of bats,故使用原形動詞 benefit。
  1. 詞性辨識
  • 空格位於主詞後、介系詞 from 前,需填入能構成完整謂語的動詞。

題幹定位與翻譯

關鍵句為:

This is a proof that some species of bats ______ from wildfire.

翻譯:

這證明有些蝙蝠物種能從野火中受益。

前文指出,有些蝙蝠會擴展到被火燒過的區域:

whereas 11 expanded to the burned areas

其中 expanded to the burned areas 表示「擴展到燒毀區域」,說明野火對某些蝙蝠物種具有正面影響。因此空格應填入「受益」之意的動詞 benefit,並與 from wildfire 搭配成 benefit from wildfire。


解題方法

先觀察句型:

some species of bats+‾+from wildfire\text{some species of bats} + \underline{\quad} + \text{from wildfire}

some species of bats 是複數主詞:

  • species 的單複數形式相同。
  • some species of bats 意為「一些蝙蝠物種」,整體視為複數。
  • 複數主詞後接一般現在式動詞原形,因此使用 benefit。

完整句子為:

This is a proof that some species of bats benefit from wildfire.


選項分析

(A) beneficial

  • beneficial 是形容詞,意為「有益的、有利的」。
  • 形容詞不能直接放在此處作謂語,且正確搭配通常是:

(B) landlords

(C) landfall

(D) landscape

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「克漏字的語意判斷」與「字形相近字辨析」。

題幹描述野火之後,棲地出現許多變化,許多物種因此獲益;整體而言,生物群落變得更加多樣。空格前有介系詞 for,後面需接一個能與「生物多樣性增加」形成合理語意的名詞。

landscape 意為「景觀;地貌;整體環境」,可指由不同棲地、生態系與地形組成的自然環境。因此:

that’s a good thing for the landscape
那對整體景觀/自然環境而言是一件好事。

解題方法

先掌握前文的因果關係:

  1. 野火後,棲地出現許多變化。
  2. 不同物種以不同方式受益。
  3. 生物群落整體變得更加多樣。
  4. 這種生態多樣性的提升,對整體自然環境有益。

因此,空格應填入表示「自然環境、景觀」的名詞。四個選項雖然都以 land- 開頭,但詞義完全不同;只要依照上下文判斷,只有 landscape 能與「community becomes more diverse」合理連結。

關鍵句定位

題幹中定位答案的關鍵句是:

On the whole, the community becomes more diverse, and that’s a good thing for the _________.

翻譯:

整體而言,這個生物群落變得更加多樣,而這對整體景觀/自然環境是一件好事。

其中 the community becomes more diverse 指生物群落的多樣性提升;能受惠的對象應是整體自然環境,即 landscape。

關鍵單字與片語

  • variation:變化;差異;多樣性
  • habitat:棲地;生物的生活環境
  • wildfire:野火;森林火災
  • species:物種
  • benefit:受益;獲益
  • in different ways:以不同方式
  • on the whole:整體而言;總體來說
  • community:群落;生物群落
  • diverse:多樣的;多元的
  • a good thing for...:對……而言是好事
  • landscape:景觀;地貌;自然環境

文法與語意重點

1. 「a good thing for + 名詞」

句型:

be a good thing for + 人或事物

表示「對某人或某事物而言是一件好事」。

本句的結構為:

that’s + a good thing + for the landscape

空格須填入名詞,且該名詞必須是「生物群落多樣化」能帶來正面影響的對象。

2. 語意搭配

第 16 題

For decades the mature brain was understood to be incapable of growing new neurons. Once an individual reached adulthood, the brain began losing neurons rather than ______ them.

(A) extending

(B) connecting

(C) cutting

(D) gaining

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. 語意搭配
  2. 對等結構(parallel structure)
  3. 動詞與受詞的合理搭配

題幹描述過去對成年腦部的認知:成年後,大腦開始失去神經元,而不是「獲得」神經元。因此空格應填入與 losing 意義相反、且能與 neurons 搭配的動名詞 gaining。


題幹定位與翻譯

關鍵句為:

Once an individual reached adulthood, the brain began losing neurons rather than ______ them.

翻譯:

一旦個體達到成年,大腦便開始失去神經元,而不是獲得神經元。

句中的 losing 與空格形成對比:

  • losing neurons:失去神經元
  • ______ them:______ 這些神經元

因此空格需要填入表示「獲得、增加」的動詞。


文法與語意分析

1. rather than 的用法

rather than 表示「而不是」,前後通常連接詞性相同、結構相近的成分。

題幹為:

  • losing neurons
  • rather than ______ them

losing 是動名詞,因此空格也應填入動名詞形式。四個選項皆為動名詞形式,但仍須根據語意判斷。

2. them 的指涉

them 是受格代名詞,指前面的 neurons。因此空格中的動詞必須能合理地以 neurons 作為受詞:

  • gain neurons:獲得神經元
  • extend neurons:延伸神經元
  • connect neurons:連接神經元
  • cut neurons:切斷神經元

其中只有 gaining neurons 能與「losing neurons」形成自然且直接的反義對比。


選項分析

(A) extending

extend:延伸、延長、擴展。

extending neurons 可理解為「延伸神經元」,但這不是 losing neurons 的反義概念。題幹要表達的是大腦在成年後不再增加新的神經元,而非不再延伸神經元。

因此不符合語意,錯誤。

(B) connecting

connect:連接、聯繫。

第 17 題

New evidence was building that the adult brain could generate new neurons. In one particularly striking experiment with mice, scientists found that simply running on a wheel led to the birth of new neurons in the hippocampus, a brain ________ that is associated with memory.

(A) module

(B) structure

(C) contexture

(D) symptoms

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」。空格位於:

the birth of new neurons in the hippocampus, a brain ________ that is associated with memory.

逗號後的 a brain ________ 是對 the hippocampus 的同位語補充說明,意思是「海馬迴是一種與記憶有關的腦部______」。因此空格必須填入表示「腦部構造、結構」的名詞。

解題方法

定位答案的關鍵句為:

scientists found that simply running on a wheel led to the birth of new neurons in the hippocampus, a brain ________ that is associated with memory.

翻譯:

科學家發現,僅僅在輪子上跑步,就會促使海馬迴產生新的神經元;海馬迴是一種與記憶有關的腦部構造。

hippocampus 是「海馬迴」,屬於大腦中實際存在的解剖構造,與學習及記憶功能有關。因此應選擇表示「構造、結構」的 structure。

句型分析如下:

  • a brain structure:一種腦部構造
  • that is associated with memory:與記憶有關的
  • that 引導關係子句,修飾前面的 a brain structure
  • be associated with:與……有關、與……相關

選項分析

(A) module

module 是「模組、單元」,常用於機械、電腦系統或課程內容,例如 a software module「軟體模組」。雖然腦部功能有時可抽象地分成不同功能模組,但本句是在介紹海馬迴的解剖性質,最自然的搭配是 brain structure,不是 brain module,故不適合。

(B) structure

structure 是「結構、構造、組織」,可指建築物、身體或器官的實體構造。海馬迴是大腦中的一個實際解剖部位,因此 a brain structure 意為「一種腦部構造」,符合句意與搭配,故為正確答案。

(C) conditions

(D) conditionals

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「詞性、字義與語境搭配」。

句中空格位於形容詞 neurodegenerative 之後,且前面有 other。因此空格應填入複數名詞,形成:

other neurodegenerative conditions
其他神經退化性疾病/病症

neurodegenerative 是形容詞,意為「神經退化性的」;conditions 是名詞 condition 的複數,意為「疾病、病症」。

題幹定位與翻譯

關鍵句為:

New studies have established that exercise also has positive effects on the brains of humans, especially as we age, and that it may even help reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative _______.

翻譯:

新的研究已證實,運動對人類的大腦也有正面影響,尤其是在我們年老之後;運動甚至可能有助於降低罹患阿茲海默症及其他神經退化性疾病的風險。

句意談的是與 Alzheimer’s disease 同類的疾病,因此應選表示「疾病、病症」的 conditions。

解題方法

先判斷空格的詞性:

  1. other 通常修飾複數可數名詞。
  2. neurodegenerative 是形容詞,放在名詞前修飾名詞。
  3. 空格需填入表示「疾病或病症」的複數名詞。
  4. 四個選項中,只有 conditions 符合詞性與語意。

完整片語為:

neurodegenerative conditions
神經退化性疾病

句型結構如下:

reduce the risk of A and other B

其中:

  • reduce the risk of:降低……的風險
  • Alzheimer’s disease:阿茲海默症
  • other neurodegenerative conditions:其他神經退化性疾病

選項分析

(A) conducive

conducive 是形容詞,意為「有助於……的、有利於……的」,常見搭配為:

第 19 題

Physical activity improves the function of many organ systems in the body, but the effects are usually linked to better athletic performance. For example, when you walk or run, your muscles demand more oxygen, and over time your cardiovascular system responds by building new blood ______.

(A) vessels

(B) streams

(C) circulars

(D) pressures

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「生理學語意」與「英文搭配詞」。題幹描述運動時肌肉需要更多氧氣,長期運動會促使心血管系統形成新的血管,以提升氧氣輸送能力。

關鍵搭配為:

  • build new blood vessels:形成新的血管
  • blood vessel:血管
  • cardiovascular system:心血管系統
  • demand more oxygen:需要更多氧氣
  • over time:隨著時間經過、長期下來
  • athletic performance:運動表現
  • physical activity:身體活動、體能活動

運動訓練可促進血管新生(angiogenesis),增加肌肉周邊的微血管密度,使氧氣與養分的運輸效率提升。因此,空格應填入表示「血管」的名詞。

解題方法

定位答案的關鍵句是:

“over time your cardiovascular system responds by building new blood ______.”

翻譯為:

「長期下來,你的心血管系統會藉由形成新的血液__來產生反應。」

句中主詞是 your cardiovascular system,動詞片語是 responds by building,其中 by + V-ing 表示「藉由做某事」。空格位於 blood 之後,需填入能與 blood 構成合理名詞片語的字。

最自然且符合生理學意義的搭配是:

blood vessels=血管

完整句意為:

長期下來,心血管系統會藉由形成新的血管來回應肌肉增加的氧氣需求。

選項分析

(A) vessels

vessel 可指「容器、船隻」,在生物學中也指「血管」。
blood vessels 是標準搭配,意為「血管」,且符合運動促進血管新生的生理機制。

因此,(A) 正確。

(B) streams

(A) endurance

(B) encouragement

(C) ennui

(D) environment

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「字義辨識」與「語意搭配」。句意談到運動造成的心血管變化,這些變化是身體對運動負荷的反應,能夠增進某種能力,因此空格應填入表示「耐力」的名詞。

運動時,心血管系統會提高心輸出量、增加骨骼肌的血流與氧氣供應。長期訓練可提升心肺適能,使身體更能持續進行運動,這種能力就是 endurance。

題幹定位與翻譯

題幹關鍵句:

The cardiovascular changes from exercises are primarily a response to the physical challenges which can enhance ________.

翻譯:

運動所造成的心血管變化,主要是身體對生理性挑戰的反應,而這些挑戰能夠增進 ________。

「physical challenges」指運動對身體形成的負荷與挑戰;這些挑戰經由訓練適應,能提升持續活動的能力,因此答案是 endurance。

(A) humiliation

(B) humidity

(C) humankind

(D) humbleness

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. 字義辨識:四個選項皆以 hum- 開頭,須依字義判斷。
  2. 語境判讀:由「人類演化」與「數百萬年前的起源」推知答案。
  3. 固定搭配:the origin of humankind 表示「人類的起源」。

題幹指出,運動不只是身體活動,也與認知活動及腦部健康有關;這種身體活動與腦部健康的關聯,可能早在數百萬年前人類起源時便已形成。因此空格應填入表示「人類」的名詞。


題幹定位與翻譯

關鍵句為:

This link between physical activity and brain health may trace back millions of years to the origin of ________.

翻譯:

身體活動與腦部健康之間的這項關聯,可能可以追溯至數百萬年前的人類起源。

其中:

  • trace back to:追溯至、始於
  • millions of years ago:數百萬年前
  • the origin of humankind:人類的起源

「起源」的對象必須是某種生物或族群;四個選項中,只有 humankind 符合。


解題方法

先判斷空格所在的結構:

the origin of + 名詞

因此空格需要填入一個能作為「起源對象」的名詞。

再根據語意判斷:

  • origin 表示「起源」;
  • millions of years 暗示演化歷史;
  • 前文談論運動、認知能力與腦部健康;
  • 最合理的語意是「人類的起源」。

完整句為:

This link between physical activity and brain health may trace back millions of years to the origin of humankind.

意思是:

身體活動與腦部健康的關聯,可能可追溯到數百萬年前人類起源的時期。


文法與語意重點

句型:

trace back to + 時間/事件

表示「追溯到某個時間或事件」。

例如:

The tradition traces back to ancient times.
這項傳統可追溯至古代。

本題的:

may trace back millions of years to the origin of humankind

可拆解為:

  • may:可能
  • trace back:追溯
  • millions of years:數百萬年
  • to the origin of humankind:至人類的起源

第 22 題

If we can better understand why and how exercise engages the brain, perhaps we can leverage the relevant physiological pathways to design novel exercise routines that will boost people’s cognition as they _______.

(A) ascend

(B) accelerate

(C) aggregate

(D) age

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:四個選項皆以字母 a- 開頭,但詞義不同。
  2. 語意搭配:根據上下文判斷 exercise 對 cognition 的長期影響。
  3. 時間副詞子句:as + 主詞 + 動詞 可表示「當……時;隨著……」。

題幹關鍵片段:

design novel exercise routines that will boost people’s cognition as they _______.

翻譯:

設計新穎的運動訓練,使人們在年齡增長的過程中,認知能力能獲得提升。

as they age 是固定且自然的搭配,意思是「隨著他們年齡增長」。


解題方法

先觀察空格所在結構:

as they _______

they 是主詞,空格需要填入一個動詞,形成時間副詞子句。再根據主句語意判斷:

  • exercise routines 的目的,是提升人們的 cognition;
  • 這種需求特別與「年齡增加、老化」有關;
  • 因此最合理的語意是「隨著人們年齡增長,維持或提升認知能力」。

完整句意為:

如果我們能更深入了解運動如何以及為何能啟動大腦,也許就能利用相關的生理途徑,設計新穎的運動訓練,讓人們隨著年齡增長仍能提升認知能力。

因此空格應填入表示「變老、年齡增長」的 age。


選項分析

(A) ascend

ascend 是動詞,意為「上升;攀登;升高」。

例如:

The hikers ascended the mountain.
登山客攀登那座山。

as they ascend 文法上可以成立,但語意是「當他們上升時」,通常需要明確指涉高度、地位等上升情境。人不會在此語境中「上升」來說明認知能力隨人生發展的變化,因此不合題意。

(B) accelerate

accelerate 是動詞,意為「加速;促進」。

例如:

The car accelerated quickly.
那輛車迅速加速。

as they accelerate 意為「當他們加速時」,但主詞 they 指 people,題幹沒有提到人們正在加速移動,也沒有「加速」可與年齡或認知能力自然搭配,因此語意不成立。

  • 全句中譯:「為了探討運動為何對大腦有益,我們首先需要思考大腦結構與認知功能的哪些層面,對運動似乎『反應最為顯著/最能產生正面反應』。」
  • 代名詞指涉:句尾的代名詞 it 指的是前半句的 exercise(運動)。
  1. 語意邏輯推導:
  • 前半句明確指出主題是「探討運動對大腦帶來益處(exercise benefits the brain)」。
  • 因此,要探討這個機轉,科學家必須先找出大腦的哪些部分或功能「對運動最具反應性/最能受運動影響而產生成效」。
  • 語意上必須選擇表示「有反應的、敏感的」詞彙,且該詞能與介系詞 to 搭配。

選項分析

  • (A) responsible(錯誤)
  • 字義:負責任的;作為……原因的。
  • 常見搭配:be responsible for sth(對……負責;是……的原因)。
  • 排除原因:
  1. 介系詞通常搭配 for,而非題幹的 to(少數搭配 responsible to sb 是指「向某人負責/聽命於某人」,如公務員對人民負責,不符此處語境)。
  2. 語意上若代入,「大腦結構對運動負責」邏輯不通。
  • (B) responsive(正確)
  • 字義:反應敏捷的、有反應的、易受影響的。
  • 常見搭配:be responsive to sth(對……有正面/靈敏反應)。

We have to be grateful to Taiwan’s medical administrations and practitioners for keeping the outbreak under _________.

(A) control

(B) concussion

(C) consecutive

(D) concession

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「固定搭配」與「語境判斷」。

句型 keep A under control 表示「使 A 受到控制、控制住 A」。其中:

  • keep:使……維持某種狀態
  • under control:在控制之下、受到控制

題幹談到臺灣的醫療行政機關與醫療從業人員成功控制疫情,因此空格應填入 control,形成固定片語 under control。

解題方法

先觀察空格前的介系詞:

under ______

介系詞 under 後面通常接名詞,構成介系詞片語。再根據句意判斷:

We have to be grateful to Taiwan’s medical administrations and practitioners for keeping the outbreak under _________.

句意為「我們必須感謝臺灣的醫療行政機關與醫療從業人員,讓疫情受到控制。」

「使疫情受到控制」的英文固定表達為:

keep the outbreak under control

因此答案為 control。

題幹定位與翻譯

原文:

We have to be grateful to Taiwan’s medical administrations and practitioners for keeping the outbreak under control.

翻譯:

我們必須感謝臺灣的醫療行政機關與醫療從業人員,讓疫情受到控制。

其中 keeping the outbreak under control 是介系詞 for 的受詞,屬於動名詞片語;under control 則是修飾 keeping 所造成狀態的介系詞片語。

選項分析

(A) control 控制;管制

under control 是固定片語,表示「在控制之下、受到控制」。

題幹中的 keep the outbreak under control 意為「控制疫情」,符合文法、搭配與語意,因此正確。

(B) concussion 腦震盪;震盪

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查:

  1. 形容詞字義辨析
  2. 搭配語意
  3. 平行結構:a realistic, lively feel

句型中,realistic 與 lively 並列修飾名詞 feel,表示球場應營造出「真實且充滿活力的感覺」。

解題方法

定位關鍵片語:

give their stadiums a ________, lively feel.
讓他們的體育場呈現出一種 ________、充滿活力的感覺。

前文提到:

To keep fans watching on their smartphones, PCs and TVs
為了讓球迷持續透過智慧型手機、個人電腦與電視觀看比賽,

既然觀眾不一定親臨現場,聯盟鼓勵球隊讓球場在轉播畫面中呈現「真實、熱鬧、有現場感」的氛圍。因此應選擇表示「寫實的、逼真的」的 realistic。

完整句意為:

為了讓球迷持續透過智慧型手機、個人電腦和電視觀看比賽,聯盟鼓勵各隊讓球場呈現出真實且充滿活力的感覺。

選項分析

(A) realistic 正確

realistic 為形容詞,意為「寫實的、逼真的、真實感的」。

a realistic, lively feel 表示「真實且充滿活力的感覺」,符合運動賽事轉播需要營造現場感的語境。

常見搭配:

  • a realistic image:逼真的影像
  • realistic sound effects:真實感的音效
  • a realistic atmosphere:真實的氛圍

(B) recessive 錯誤

recessive 意為「隱性的」,主要用於遺傳學,指不容易表現出來的基因特徵。

例如:

  • a recessive gene:隱性基因
  • a recessive trait:隱性特徵

a recessive, lively feel 會變成「隱性且充滿活力的感覺」,語意矛盾,也不符合球場轉播氛圍的描述。

其中,global 表示「全球的」,後面需要接符合語意的名詞;能與全球性疾病事件搭配的選項為 pandemics。

解題方法

先抓住句意:

  • have been postponed:已被延期
  • due to:因為、由於
  • the global ________:全球性的某種事件

棒球聯盟不會因「五邊形」、「煎餅」或「全景」而延期,因此空格必須是造成全球性影響的事件。pandemic 的意思是「流行病、大流行」,符合新冠肺炎疫情造成全球體育賽事延期的語境。

嚴格而言,本句最自然的寫法應為:

due to the global pandemic

因為此處指的是一場全球性疫情,應使用單數 pandemic。題目選項提供的是複數 pandemics,屬於命題上的字形瑕疵;依題目語意與選項設計,正確選項仍為 (C)。

選項分析

(A) pentagon

意為「五邊形」。這是幾何形狀名詞,與全球棒球聯盟延期的原因沒有語意關聯。即使文法上可作名詞,放入句中也會變成「因全球性的五邊形而延期」,語意不成立。

(B) pancake

意為「煎餅」。這是食物名詞,不能合理說明全世界職業棒球聯盟延期的原因,因此不符合上下文。

(C) pandemics

意為「大流行病、全球性流行病」的複數形式。pandemic 指疾病擴散至廣大地區,甚至跨越多國的疫情,最符合題幹所描述的全球事件。

Beyond baseball, organized sports worldwide have canceled or delayed _______.

(A) concealment

(B) composition

(C) compensation

(D) competition

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「語意判斷」與「動詞搭配」。句中 canceled or delayed 表示「取消或延後」,後面應接「比賽、競賽」之類的名詞;四個選項中只有 competition 符合語境。

關鍵句:

Beyond baseball, organized sports worldwide have canceled or delayed competition.

翻譯:

除了棒球之外,全世界的各項組織性運動都已取消或延後比賽。

句型結構如下:

  • Beyond baseball:介系詞片語,意為「除了棒球之外」
  • organized sports worldwide:主詞,意為「全世界的組織性運動」
  • have canceled or delayed:現在完成式,意為「已經取消或延後」
  • competition:受詞,意為「競賽、比賽」

canceled or delayed 是平行結構,兩個動詞共同支配受詞 competition。

關鍵單字與片語

  • beyond:超出;除了……之外
  • baseball:棒球
  • organized sports:組織性運動、正式運動賽事
  • worldwide:全世界地、遍及全球地
  • cancel:取消
  • delay:延後、延遲
  • competition:競賽、比賽
  • concealment:隱藏、隱匿
  • composition:組成;作文;創作
  • compensation:補償、賠償

解題方法

先看 canceled or delayed 的語意。能被「取消或延後」的對象,通常是:

第 30 題

The Tokyo Olympic Games have been ________ back a year.

(A) excelled

(B) pushed

(C) accentuated

(D) backfired

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「片語動詞的語意與被動語態」。句型為:

The Tokyo Olympic Games have been ________ back a year.

其中:

  • have been + 過去分詞:現在完成式被動語態。
  • back a year:往後延一年。
  • push back:將某事延後、延期。
  • 主詞 The Tokyo Olympic Games 為複數,因此使用 have been。

全句需要填入能與 back 搭配,且表示「延期」的過去分詞。

解題方法

題幹中最關鍵的線索是 back a year。表示活動時間往後延一年時,常用片語:

push something back
將某事延後、延期

改成被動語態後:

something has/have been pushed back

因此原句可還原為:

The Tokyo Olympic Games have been pushed back a year.

翻譯為:

東京奧運已經延期一年。

選項分析

(A) excelled

excel 意為「擅長、勝過」。例如:

She excels in mathematics.
她擅長數學。

excelled back 並不是表示「延期」的固定搭配,語意也無法與奧運會的時間調整相連,因此錯誤。

(B) pushed

push back 意為「將……延後、延期」。本句使用現在完成式被動語態:

have been pushed back

表示「已被延期」。搭配 a year 後,意思完整,為正確答案。

第 31 題

No fans have come to any local games of the professional baseball league in Taiwan as a result of the decision to bar spectators over concerns of spreading COVID-19 in a crowded ________.

(A) spec

(B) space

(C) span

(D) spectrum

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」。空格前有形容詞 crowded,後面需要接一個表示「人群聚集的場所、空間」的名詞,形成自然片語:

a crowded space
擁擠的空間

因此答案為 space。


題幹定位與翻譯

關鍵語句是:

No fans have come to any local games of the professional baseball league in Taiwan as a result of the decision to bar spectators over concerns of spreading COVID-19 in a crowded ________.

其中,定位答案的核心片語為:

spreading COVID-19 in a crowded space
在擁擠的空間中傳播 COVID-19

全句可翻譯為:

由於擔心 COVID-19 會在擁擠的空間中傳播,當局決定禁止觀眾入場,因此沒有球迷前往臺灣職業棒球聯盟的任何一場本地比賽。

空格需要填入能表示「空間、場所」的名詞,與 crowded 搭配後,語意才能完整。


解題方法

先判斷空格的詞性:

  • a crowded ________ 中,冠詞 a 後面需要接單數可數名詞。
  • crowded 表示「擁擠的」,通常用來形容場所或空間。
  • 後方語意是「COVID-19 在擁擠的某處傳播」,需要「空間、場所」的概念。

四個選項中,只有 space 能直接表示「空間」,且與 crowded 形成自然搭配:

crowded+space=擁擠的空間\text{crowded}+\text{space}=\text{擁擠的空間}

選項分析

(A) spec

spec 是非正式用語,通常是 specification 的縮寫,意思是「規格、規範、詳細說明」。

例如:

  • the technical specs
    技術規格
  • a computer with good specs
    規格良好的電腦

crowded spec 意思不通,因為「規格」不能合理地作為人群聚集、病毒傳播的場所,故不適合。


(B) space

space 的意思是「空間、場所」,可指實體空間,也可指某種活動或使用範圍。

例如:

  • a large public space
    大型公共空間
  • There was not enough space for everyone.
    沒有足夠的空間容納所有人。

第 32 題

Taiwanese professional baseball league decided it was safe to let in players, coaches, cheerleaders, costumed mascots, mask-wearing batboys and the media, as the nation has ________ few cases of the coronavirus.

(A) relatedly

(B) previously

(C) preciously

(D) relatively

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「副詞的字義辨析」與固定語意搭配,關鍵結構是:

the nation has relatively few cases of the coronavirus

其中:

  • relatively:相對地;比較而言
  • few:很少的;不多的,修飾可數名詞複數
  • cases:病例
  • of the coronavirus:新冠病毒的

relatively few 表示「相對少的、不多的」,常用來表達與其他國家、地區或一般情況相比,數量較少。


解題方法

先判斷空格需要的詞性。空格位於:

has ________ few cases

few 已經是限定詞,空格應填入能修飾數量概念的副詞。

再根據上下文判斷語意:

台灣職業棒球聯盟認為讓球員、教練、啦啦隊、吉祥物、戴口罩的球僮及媒體進場是安全的,因為這個國家的新冠病毒病例相對較少。

「病例相對較少」應使用 relatively few cases,因此答案為 relatively。


定位答案的原文與翻譯

原文:

Taiwanese professional baseball league decided it was safe to let in players, coaches, cheerleaders, costumed mascots, mask-wearing batboys and the media, as the nation has relatively few cases of the coronavirus.

翻譯:

台灣職業棒球聯盟認為讓球員、教練、啦啦隊、穿著戲服的吉祥物、戴口罩的球僮及媒體進場是安全的,因為台灣的新冠病毒病例相對較少。

句中的 as 表示原因,相當於「因為」。既然前文說「進場是安全的」,後文必須接能說明安全原因的內容;relatively few cases 正好表示病例數相對少,因此語意完整。


選項分析

(A) relatedly

relatedly 意為「相關地;就相關方面而言」,用於補充某件事與前述內容有關。

例如:

Relatedly, the government changed its policy.
相關地,政府改變了政策。

(A) spectrum

(B) spectacle

(C) game

(D) gymnastics

登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題測驗「克漏字語意連貫(Contextual Meaning)」與「主題字彙搭配」。考生必須掌握運動賽事領域的常見字彙,並透過上下文中的關鍵字詞(如 fan、stadium、season)判斷情境所指的受詞。


題幹定位與翻譯

  • 定位句:

"Although no fan is allowed to enter the stadium, we consider ourselves still lucky. We have not stopped our season and people can still see the _______."

  • 中文翻譯:

「雖然沒有任何球迷被允許進入體育場,但我們仍認為自己很幸運。我們的賽季並未中斷,人們依然能觀看這場比賽。」

  • 語意解析:
    前半句提到「沒有球迷可以進入體育場(stadium)」,後半句指出「我們沒有停止我們的賽季(season)」,因此人們依然能夠「看」到的對象,必然是賽季中所進行的「賽事、比賽」。

解題方法

  1. 抓取核心關鍵字彙:
  • fan(運動迷、球迷)
  • stadium(大型體育場、露天運動場)
  • season(體育賽事的「賽季」)
  1. 語境邏輯推導:
    本題背景為 2020 年新冠疫情期間,職業體育聯賽(如中華職棒 CPBL)採閉門比賽「閉門開打、轉播不中斷」的真實時事。既然主詞為球隊或聯盟(we),且主題圍繞在賽季(season),填入空格作為 see 的受詞,最精確且直接的字即為「比賽(game)」。

第 34 題

Baseball with no fans may not be as entertaining as it used to be, but it is a good way to stop the coronavirus _______ spreading.

(A) from

(B) out of

(C) into

(D) at

登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題測驗核心為**「阻止/防止某人或某事做某事」的及物動詞固定介系詞搭配**:
stop+受詞+(from)+V-ing\text{stop} + \text{受詞} + (\text{from}) + \text{V-ing}

在英文文法中,表示「阻止、預防、禁止」概念的動詞(如 stop, prevent, keep, hinder, prohibit, deter, restrain, discourage),通常搭配介系詞 from 接動名詞(V-ing)或名詞,表示「使受詞脫離/免於某種動作或狀態」。


解題方法

  1. 分析題幹結構與定位句:
  • 原文:“Baseball with no fans may not be as entertaining as it used to be, but it is a good way to stop the coronavirus _______ spreading.”
  • 中譯:「閉門(沒有觀眾的)棒球賽或許不如以往那麼具娛樂性,但這是阻止冠狀病毒傳播的好方法。」
  1. 鎖定關鍵字與空格位置:
  • 空格前為動詞短語核心結構 stop the coronavirus(動詞 + 受詞)。
  • 空格後為動名詞 spreading。
  • 動詞 stop 表示「阻止某事物發生」時,標準句型為 stop sb/sth (from) doing sth。
  • 四個選項均為介系詞,其中僅有 (A) from 能與 stop 構成「阻止……做……」之固定用法。

選項分析

  • (A) from【正確】:
    符合固定句型 stop + O + from + V-ing,表示「阻止冠狀病毒擴散」。

第 35 題

The fact that we’re playing in front of empty seats is acceptable. It’s comforting to know that some part of the world still goes on as it used to _____.

(A) be

(B) going to be

(C) will be

(D) being

登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。

這一題的完整詳解

題幹原文與翻譯

  • 原文:
    "The fact that we’re playing in front of empty seats is acceptable. It’s comforting to know that some part of the world still goes on as it used to _____."
  • 中文翻譯:
    「我們在空無一人的觀眾席前比賽是可被接受的。令人欣慰的是,知道這世界的某個角落依然如往昔那樣運轉著。」

核心觀念:助動詞 used to + V 的用法與「代名詞動詞(Code / Ellipsis)」

  1. 基本句型與定義:
  • used to + 原形動詞(V):表示「過去習慣/過去曾經……(而現在已非如此)」。
  • be used to + V-ing / N:表示「習慣於……」。
  • be used to + 原形動詞(V):表示「被用來……(被動語態)」。
  1. 前後對照與省略(Ellipsis):
  • 本句前半為 some part of the world still goes on...,主要動詞是 goes on(持續進行、運轉)。
  • 連結詞 as 引導副詞子句「正如……一樣」。在比較或對照的子句中,as it used to do / go on 常簡化為助動詞形式;若原先預期連接的狀態是 be,則表示過去的「狀態」與現在的「動態」做對比,或者還原完整語法結構:as it used to be(正如過去那樣/如昔)。
  • 在 used to 後面必須接原形動詞。

關鍵字詞解析

  • in front of(片語):在……前面。
  • acceptable(形容詞):可接受的、令人滿意的。
  • comforting(形容詞):令人欣慰的、給人安慰的。
  • go on(動詞片語):繼續、進行、運轉。
  • as it used to be(常用慣用結構):如往常一樣、如昔(用來描述事物原本的樣子或狀態)。

解題方法

  1. 鎖定空格前結構:
    空格前為助動詞片語 used to。依據基本文法規則,used to 表「過去曾經/過去習慣」時,後方必須搭配原形動詞(Base Form)。
  2. 檢驗動詞型態:
  • (A) be:原形動詞,符合 used to + V 的文法結構。

Our ways of life will not be the same after COVID-19. Nor should they ______.

(A) be

(B) are

(C) will be

(D) being

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. 否定副詞 Nor 放在句首時的倒裝句型。
  2. 情態助動詞 should 後面必須接原形動詞。
  3. 為避免重複,後半句省略前文已出現的補語。

句型如下:

Nor+助動詞+主詞+原形動詞\text{Nor}+\text{助動詞}+\text{主詞}+\text{原形動詞}

因此:

Nor should they be.

其中 should 是情態助動詞,後面只能接動詞原形 be。


關鍵單字與片語

  • ways of life:生活方式
  • the same:相同的
  • after COVID-19:COVID-19 之後
  • nor:也不;亦非
  • should:應該
  • be:是;處於某種狀態

解題方法

定位答案的關鍵句是:

Our ways of life will not be the same after COVID-19. Nor should they ______.

第一句的意思是:

COVID-19 之後,我們的生活方式將不會相同。

第二句以 Nor 開頭,表示「生活方式也不應該相同」。因 Nor 置於句首,句子採用部分倒裝:

Nor should they be.

完整語意可理解為:

Nor should they be the same.

後面的 the same 與前句重複,因此省略。空格只需填入 be。

完整句子:

Our ways of life will not be the same after COVID-19. Nor should they be.

翻譯:

COVID-19 之後,我們的生活方式將不會相同;而且生活方式也不應該維持相同。

In Italy, inadequacy in hospital accommodations and the lack of awareness of a public-health crisis have _______ contagion.

(A) fulfilled

(B) fueled

(C) followed

(D) flourished

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「動詞語意搭配」與「及物、不及物動詞」的判斷。句型為:

In Italy, inadequacy in hospital accommodations and the lack of awareness of a public-health crisis have _______ contagion.

主詞是並列名詞:

  • inadequacy in hospital accommodations
  • the lack of awareness of a public-health crisis

兩者以 and 連接,形成複數主詞,因此搭配複數助動詞 have。空格需填入過去分詞,構成現在完成式 have + p.p.,且後面直接接受詞 contagion,所以必須選能作及物動詞使用、語意又符合「使傳染擴大」的字。

題幹定位與翻譯

關鍵句為:

In Italy, inadequacy in hospital accommodations and the lack of awareness of a public-health crisis have fueled contagion.

翻譯:

在義大利,醫院住宿設施的不足,以及對公共衛生危機缺乏認知,助長了傳染的擴散。

其中 have fueled contagion 表示「已助長傳染」「已使傳染更加嚴重」。

解題方法

先觀察空格後的 contagion。此處需要一個能直接接受名詞作受詞的動詞,表示「促使傳染擴大」。

fuel 原意是「供給燃料」,引申為「助長、加劇、使更加旺盛」:

  • fuel a fire:助長火勢
  • fuel anger:煽動怒火
  • fuel contagion:助長傳染擴散

填入過去分詞 fueled 後:

have+fueled+contagion\text{have}+\text{fueled}+\text{contagion}

文法與語意均成立。

關鍵單字與片語

  • inadequacy:不足;不充分
  • hospital accommodations:醫院的收容、住宿或安置設施
  • lack of awareness:缺乏認知;缺乏警覺
  • public-health crisis:公共衛生危機
  • contagion:傳染;傳染病的擴散
  • fuel:燃料;助長、加劇
  • fuel contagion:助長傳染擴散

選項分析

(A) fulfilled

fulfill 是「履行、實現、滿足」,常見搭配包括:

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查「語境判斷」與「字義搭配」。空格位於 economic 之後,需填入一個能與其構成自然語意的名詞。

常見搭配為:

  • economic growth:經濟成長、經濟增長
  • economic growth 是新聞、社會科學與經濟文章中的固定搭配

句意是在說:社會互動與思想交流受到阻礙,進而使經濟成長受到影響。

解題方法

定位空格所在句:

As a result of negligence, the coronavirus is shutting down the engine of ideas and interactions that drives social dynamism and economic _______.

翻譯:

由於疏忽,冠狀病毒正在關閉由思想與互動所構成的引擎,而這個引擎推動著社會活力與經濟成長。

空格前的 economic 是形容詞,意思是「經濟的」,後面需要接一個表示經濟發展結果或狀態的名詞。四個選項中,只有 growth 能與 economic 構成合理且自然的語意搭配。

文法與語意重點

1. economic growth

  • economic:經濟的
  • growth:成長、增長、發展

economic growth 指一個國家或地區的生產、收入、產業活動等持續增加,中文通常翻譯為「經濟成長」。

2. engine of ideas and interactions

  • engine of...:……的引擎、推動……的力量
  • ideas:想法、思想
  • interactions:互動、交流

此處是比喻用法,將思想交流與人際互動比喻為推動社會及經濟發展的「引擎」。

3. drives social dynamism and economic growth

  • drive:推動、促進
  • social dynamism:社會活力、社會動能
  • economic growth:經濟成長

(A) sacrificial

(B) savvy

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:依語境選出「重要、突出」的形容詞。
  2. 搭配與語意:判斷形容詞是否能自然修飾 question。
  3. 句型理解:how to + V 作主詞,表示「如何……這件事」。

題幹句型為:

Because contagion might turn out to be a long-term or chronic threat, how to adapt urban design and management accordingly has become a _______ question.

其中主詞是:

how to adapt urban design and management accordingly
如何據此調整都市設計與管理

has become 後面接主詞補語,空格需要填入能表達「重要、關鍵」的形容詞,修飾 question。


題幹定位與翻譯

關鍵語句是:

how to adapt urban design and management accordingly has become a _______ question

翻譯為:

「如何據此調整都市設計與管理,已經成為一個十分 ______ 的問題。」

前面的 Because contagion might turn out to be a long-term or chronic threat 提供語意線索:

「由於傳染可能會成為長期或慢性的威脅……」

既然傳染可能造成長期影響,都市設計與管理的調整方式便成為一個重要且需要重視的問題,因此選 salient。


關鍵單字與片語

  • contagion:傳染;傳染病;傳染性疾病的擴散
  • turn out to be:結果是;後來證明是
  • long-term:長期的
  • chronic:慢性的;長期持續的
  • threat:威脅
  • adapt A to B:使 A 適應 B
  • urban design:都市設計
  • management:管理
  • accordingly:相應地;因此
  • salient:顯著的;突出的;重要的
  • savvy:精明的;有實際知識的;老練的
  • satellite:衛星;衛星的
  • sacrificial:犧牲性的;作為犧牲品的

解題方法

先判斷空格的詞性。空格位於:

a + _______ + question

因此需要填入形容詞。

再從語意判斷,句子談的是傳染可能成為長期威脅,因此「如何調整都市設計與管理」是一個受到高度重視、具有關鍵性的問題。

(A) detachment

(B) delusion

(C) design

(D) delirium

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「語意判斷」與「字詞搭配」。空格位於 urban 之後,需填入名詞,且必須符合句意:

Both the thinkable and the unthinkable must be part of urban _____.

句意是:城市規劃不能只設計單一用途的空間,還必須將各種可預見與不可預見的情況納入都市規劃之中。因此最適合的名詞是 design(設計、規劃)。

關鍵搭配為:

  • urban design:都市設計、都市規劃
  • be part of ...:是……的一部分
  • the thinkable and the unthinkable:可預見與不可預見之事

題幹與定位句翻譯

題幹:

It is clear that cities cannot build urban spaces with a single function if they want them to be useful in emergencies.

顯然,如果城市希望都市空間在緊急情況下仍具實用性,就不能建造只有單一功能的都市空間。

定位答案的句子:

Both the thinkable and the unthinkable must be part of urban design.

可預見與不可預見的情況,都必須成為都市設計的一部分。

前句提到「都市空間必須能在緊急情況下發揮作用」,後句接著說明城市設計應納入各種情境,因此 urban design 在語意與搭配上都最合理。

解題方法

第一步,判斷詞性。
空格前為 urban,空格後句型為 part of urban _____,因此空格應填入名詞。

第二步,掌握上下文主旨。
題幹談的是:

  • 城市空間的建造
  • 空間的功能
  • 緊急情況下的實用性
  • 將可預見與不可預見的情境納入規劃

這些內容都與「都市設計」有關。

第三步,檢查固定搭配。
urban design 是自然且常見的英文搭配,意思是「都市設計、都市規劃」。代入後:

Both the thinkable and the unthinkable must be part of urban design.

句意完整,文法正確,語意也與前文一致。

(B) accordance

(D) reflection

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「固定搭配」與語意判斷,關鍵結構是:

in response to + 名詞
意為「回應……、作為對……的回應」。

題幹描述許多人指控 WHO 秘書長不誠實,並有人在他的推文下張貼台灣國旗圖片,這些行為是對其推文的「回應」,因此選 response。

解題方法

定位答案的關鍵句為:

some posting images of Taiwan’s national flag in _______ to his tweets.

翻譯:

有些人張貼台灣國旗的圖片,以回應他的推文。

空格後方已有介系詞 to,可直接聯想到固定片語:

in response to his tweets
回應他的推文

句意可整理為:

許多人指控 WHO 秘書長不誠實,有些人則張貼台灣國旗圖片來回應他的推文。

「張貼圖片」是針對推文所做的回應,語意與 in response to 完全吻合。

選項分析

(A) response

response 為名詞,意為「回應、反應」。

in response to 是常見固定搭配,表示「回應……、因應……」。

例句:

The company issued a statement in response to the criticism.
該公司針對這項批評發表聲明。

放入題幹後:

posting images of Taiwan’s national flag in response to his tweets

意為「張貼台灣國旗圖片以回應他的推文」,文法與語意皆正確。

(B) accordance

accordance 意為「一致、符合」。

常見搭配為:

in accordance with + 名詞
依照……;符合……

例如:

  • with + 人/團體:與……一起;和……有關聯
  • off + 名詞:離開……;從……上脫離
  • from + 名詞:來自……;從……開始或分離
  • to + 名詞:到……;對於……

句中空格位於:

his final season ______ the team

此處要表達「他在芝加哥公牛隊效力的最後一個球季」,因此使用 with the team,表示「與該球隊一起、效力於該球隊」。


解題方法

先抓出核心名詞片語:

his final season ______ the team

「season」本身需要由介系詞片語補充說明:這是哪一個球季?答案是「他與該球隊共度的最後一個球季」。

完整片語為:

his final season with the team

意思是:

他在該球隊效力的最後一個球季

放回題幹:

The sports documentary publicized last week gives a definitive account of Michael Jordan’s career and the Chicago Bulls, with unaired footages of his final season with the team.

翻譯:

上週公開的這部運動紀錄片,完整記錄了 Michael Jordan 的職業生涯以及芝加哥公牛隊的歷史,其中包含他效力該隊最後一個球季的未播出影片。

題幹中定位答案的關鍵原文就是:

unaired footages of his final season with the team

其中 with the team 修飾 his final season,說明這個球季是「他和該球隊一起度過的」。


選項分析

(A) with

his final season with the team

表示「他與該球隊共度的最後一個球季」,也就是「他效力該隊的最後一季」。語意與文法均正確。

(B) off

(A) Association

(B) Astronomy

(C) Anatomy

(D) Astronauts

登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題測驗「常見專有名詞縮寫之完整拼寫」與「形近字彙辨析」。
題幹提到全球知名的北美職業籃球聯賽 NBA(National Basketball Association),考生須結合基礎時事常識與高頻字彙,判斷首字母縮寫「A」所代表的正確單字,並辨析以字母 A 開頭的形近詞(Association、Astronomy、Anatomy、Astronauts)。


解題方法

  1. 題幹結構與文意定位:
  • 原文:Michael Jordan, also known by his initials MJ, is an American professional basketball player and the principal owner of the Charlotte Hornets of the National Basketball _______.
  • 中譯:麥可・喬丹(亦常以其姓名縮寫 MJ 為人所知)是一位美國職業籃球運動員,也是國家籃球協會(NBA)夏洛特黃蜂隊的主要擁有人。
  1. 切入點:
  • 題幹末段出現專有名詞專屬名詞大寫「National Basketball _______」,即指體育組織「NBA」。
  • 由字首縮寫對應:
  • National(國家的/全國的)
  • Basketball(籃球)
  • Association(協會/聯盟)
  • 因此空格應填入表示「協會、組織」的名詞 Association。

He played 15 seasons in the NBA and won six ______ with the Chicago Bulls.

(A) championships

(B) comrades

(C) constipation

(D) conspiracies

登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題測驗「進階字彙辨析」與「動賓搭配詞(Collocation)及語境語意邏輯」。
在後獸醫或醫學聯招考試中,常出現以體育、生醫或人文歷史名人為題幹背景的語境題。解題關鍵在於辨識運動競技語境(NBA、Chicago Bulls)中與及物動詞「won(贏得)」形成合理搭配的受詞名詞。


解題方法

  1. 分析題幹結構與關鍵語境:
  • 原文:「He played 15 seasons in the NBA and won six ______ with the Chicago Bulls.」
  • 翻譯:「他在 NBA 打了 15 個賽季,並隨芝加哥公牛隊贏得了六座______。」
  • 句中主詞為運動員(此處描寫對象為麥可·喬丹 Michael Jordan),出現專有名詞「NBA(美國職業籃球聯賽)」與球隊名「Chicago Bulls(芝加哥公牛隊)」。
  1. 尋求動賓搭配(Verb-Object Collocation):
  • 挖空處為及物動詞「won」的受詞,修飾語為數量詞「six」。
  • 在體育競技的脈絡下,「win a championship / championships」為固定高頻搭配,意為「贏得冠軍/錦標賽冠軍」。因此選填 (A) 最符合文意與語意邏輯。

選項分析

  • (A) championships(名詞複數):【正確】
  • 字義:冠軍;錦標賽。由名詞 champion(冠軍)加上名詞後綴 -ship(代表身份、狀態或競賽)組成。

第 45 題

His biography on the official NBA website states, “By acclamation, Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of ______ time.”

(A) a

(B) all

(C) altogether

(D) accompanying

登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查固定慣用語與最高級搭配。
在英文中,當表達「有史以來最……」或「空前絕後」時,常使用「最高級形容詞 + of all time」之固定結構。其中 all time 作為不可數名詞片語,前面搭配限定詞 all,形成介系詞片語 of all time,用以修飾前面的最高級名詞。


題幹原文與翻譯

  • 題幹引文:

"His biography on the official NBA website states, 'By acclamation, Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of ______ time.'"

  • 中文翻譯:

「他在 NBA 官方網站上的傳記寫道:『眾所公認,麥可·喬丹是有史以來最偉大的籃球員。』」

  • 關鍵單字與片語:
  • biography (n.):傳記
  • official (adj.):官方的、正式的
  • state (v.):陳述、說明
  • by acclamation (prep. phr.):一致同意地、眾所公認地
  • of all time (prep. phr.):有史以來、空前的

解題方法

  1. 結構分析:
    句中已出現最高級形容詞片語 the greatest basketball player(最偉大的籃球員)。後方接介系詞 of 引導的範圍修飾語。
  2. 語意鎖定:
    空格後為名詞 time。在此特定語境中,意指橫跨古今整個歷史維度的「有史以來」,符合此語義之慣用搭配即為 of all time。因此空格處須填入限定詞 all。

第 46 題

Bob Dylan is an American singer, songwriter and author who remained a lively major _________ of popular culture for more than 50 years.

(A) fizzle

(B) figure

(C) entity

(D) personification

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:判斷名詞在語境中的正確意思。
  2. 固定搭配與語意:辨認「某人是流行文化中的重要人物」應使用的英文表達。
  3. 語境判斷:主詞是 Bob Dylan,一位美國歌手、作曲家與作家,因此空格應填表示「人物、名人」的名詞。

關鍵片語為:

  • a major figure of popular culture:流行文化中的重要人物
  • remain a lively major figure:持續是活躍且重要的人物
  • popular culture:流行文化、大眾文化

解題方法

先觀察句意:

Bob Dylan is an American singer, songwriter and author who remained a lively major _________ of popular culture for more than 50 years.

翻譯:

Bob Dylan 是一位美國歌手、作曲家與作家,五十多年來一直是流行文化中活躍且重要的________。

主詞 Bob Dylan 是「人」,因此空格需要填入能指稱「重要人物」的名詞。四個選項中,figure 除了可表示「數字、身影、外形」外,也可表示「人物、名人」,尤其常用於描述在某個領域具有影響力的人。

完整句為:

Bob Dylan remained a lively major figure of popular culture for more than 50 years.

其中 a major figure of popular culture 是自然且常見的搭配,意為「流行文化中的重要人物」。

選項分析

(A) fizzle

fizzle 可作名詞,表示「失敗、歸於消沉的事物」,也可作動詞,表示「逐漸失去效力、虎頭蛇尾」。

例如:

The project ended in a fizzle.
這項計畫最後無疾而終。

Bob Dylan 並不是「流行文化中的失敗事件」,而且 a major fizzle of popular culture 不符合句意與搭配,因此錯誤。

(B) figure

figure 作名詞時可表示:

  • 數字
  • 身影、外形
  • 人物、名人
  • 重要人物、代表人物

在本題中,figure 表示「人物、重要人物」。a major figure of popular culture 是自然的語意,指在流行文化領域具有重要地位與影響力的人。

因此此選項正確。

第 47 題

Many of Dylan’s most celebrated works from the 1960s became anthems for the civil rights and anti-war _________.

(A) impeachments

(B) celebrations

(C) movements

(D) entertainments

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「語意判斷」與「固定搭配」。句意描述 Bob Dylan 於 1960 年代的著名作品,成為美國民權運動與反戰運動的代表歌曲,因此空格應填入表示「運動」的名詞 movements。

句型結構如下:

civil rights and anti-war _________

其中:

  • civil rights:民權;公民權利
  • anti-war:反戰的
  • movements:運動;行動
  • civil rights movements:民權運動
  • anti-war movements:反戰運動
  • anthem:代表歌曲;讚歌;頌歌

題幹定位與翻譯

題幹關鍵句:

Many of Dylan’s most celebrated works from the 1960s became anthems for the civil rights and anti-war movements.

翻譯:

Dylan 在 1960 年代許多最受推崇的作品,成為民權運動與反戰運動的代表歌曲。

「民權運動」與「反戰運動」都是社會或政治上的群眾行動,和 movements 在語意上完全吻合。

解題方法

先觀察空格前的並列結構:

the civil rights and anti-war _________

空格後方沒有其他修飾語,因此需要填入一個能同時和 civil rights、anti-war 搭配的複數名詞。

最自然的搭配是:

  • civil rights movements
  • anti-war movements

此外,主句中的 became anthems for 表示「成為……的代表歌曲」。歌曲通常會成為某種社會運動的象徵或傳唱歌曲,因此語意明確指向 movements。

【答案】為 (C) movements。

選項分析

(A) impeachments

意為「彈劾;彈劾程序」。impeachment 通常用於公職人員遭到彈劾的政治法律程序,例如:

(A) initial

(B) insecure

(C) incorporated

(D) inappropriate

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. 動詞搭配與句型
  3. 上下文語意判斷

句型為:

Dylan’s lyrics ________ a range of political, social, philosophical, and literary influences.

主詞是 Dylan’s lyrics,空格後接名詞片語 a range of ... influences,因此空格應填入能表示「納入、融合、包含」的動詞。


解題方法

先觀察空格後方的受詞:

a range of political, social, philosophical, and literary influences
一系列政治、社會、哲學與文學方面的影響

能與 influences 搭配,並表達「歌詞融合多方面影響」的動詞是 incorporated。

完整句意為:

Dylan’s lyrics incorporated a range of political, social, philosophical, and literary influences that turned out to defy pop music conventions.

翻譯:

Dylan 的歌詞融合了政治、社會、哲學與文學等多方面的影響,而這些影響最終被證明打破了流行音樂的慣例。

incorporate 可表示「納入、包含、融合」,過去式為 incorporated。題幹描述 Dylan 過去創作的歌詞,使用過去式符合語意與時態。


選項分析

(A) initial

initial 是形容詞,意為「最初的、開始的」,也可作名詞表示「姓名首字母」。

例如:

the initial stage
最初階段

本句空格後已有完整受詞 a range of ... influences,需要填入動詞;initial 無法作為此處的謂語動詞,且「歌詞最初一系列影響」在語意上也不通。

因此錯誤。

(B) insecure

(A) profound

(B) proficient

(C) porcelain

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「形容詞修飾名詞」:

The Pulitzer Prize Board in 2008 awarded Bob Dylan for his _______ impact on popular music and American culture.

空格位於名詞片語 impact 前方,需填入能合理描述「對流行音樂與美國文化的影響」的形容詞。最自然的搭配是 profound impact,意為「深遠的影響」。

解題方法

定位關鍵片語:

his _______ impact on popular music and American culture
他對流行音樂與美國文化所造成的 ______ 影響

「影響」若具有深刻、重大、深遠的程度,可用 profound 修飾。因此句意為:

普立茲獎評審委員會於 2008 年因 Bob Dylan 對流行音樂與美國文化所造成的深遠影響而頒獎給他。

句中的 for 表示「因為某項成就而頒獎」;impact on 是固定搭配,表示「對……的影響」。

選項分析

(A) profound adj. 深刻的;深遠的;重大的

profound impact 是自然且常見的搭配,表示「深遠的影響」。Bob Dylan 長期創作對流行音樂及美國文化產生重大影響,符合句意,正確。

(B) proficient adj. 熟練的;精通的

proficient 通常形容人在某項技能上的熟練程度,例如:

(C) tambourine

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「語意搭配」與「固定名詞片語」。句意描述 Bob Dylan 獲得諾貝爾文學獎的原因:他在偉大的美國歌曲傳統中,創造了新的詩歌表達方式。

關鍵片語為:

  • the American song tradition:美國歌曲傳統
  • poetic expressions:詩歌表達方式
  • be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature:獲頒諾貝爾文學獎
  • for having created ...:因為曾經創造……;表示得獎的原因發生在「獲獎」之前

題幹定位與翻譯

題幹關鍵句為:

Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.

翻譯:

Dylan 因為在偉大的美國歌曲傳統中創造了新的詩歌表達方式,而獲頒諾貝爾文學獎。

句中的 within 表示「在……之中」,後面接名詞片語 the great American song tradition。此處需要一個能與 song 和 tradition 形成合理語意的名詞,因此答案是 tradition。

文法與語意分析

句型結構如下:

  • Dylan:主詞
  • was awarded:被動語態,表示「被授予」
  • the Nobel Prize in Literature:受詞,諾貝爾文學獎
  • for having created...:介系詞片語,說明獲獎原因
  • within the great American song tradition:介系詞片語,說明創作所處的文化與藝術脈絡

having created 是完成式動名詞,結構為:

having+過去分詞\text{having}+\text{過去分詞}

  1. The answer is ______.

(A) bury

(B) bumble

(C) bundle

(D) burgle

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. 片語 bury one’s head in one’s hands 的用法

題幹描述現代生活帶來的壓力,指出人們面對日常問題時,可能會感到無助、沮喪,甚至「把頭埋在雙手中哭泣」。因此空格需要填入表示「埋藏、掩埋」的動詞 bury。


解題方法

定位答案的關鍵句為:

All the problems we deal with every day can make us want to just (51)_ our head in our hands and cry.

翻譯:

我們每天面對的所有問題,可能使我們只想把頭埋在雙手中哭泣。

句型結構為:

want to + 原形動詞

因此空格必須填入動詞原形。四個選項皆可作動詞,但只有 bury 能與 our head in our hands 形成合理的語意搭配:

bury one’s head in one’s hands
把頭埋在雙手中

這個動作通常用來表達悲傷、沮喪、無助或承受壓力的情緒,完全符合上下文。


關鍵單字與片語

  • modern life:現代生活
  • stress:壓力
  • spend all one’s time V-ing:把所有時間花在做某事上
  • relax:放鬆
  • deal with:處理、面對
  • bury:埋葬、掩埋
  • head:頭
  • in one’s hands:在某人的雙手中
  • cry:哭泣
  • healthy:健康的
  • teenager:青少年
  • senior high school:高中
  • friendship:友誼
  • stress:壓力

其中 bury one’s head in one’s hands 是本題最重要的固定搭配。此片語也可延伸理解為因壓力或挫折而陷入無助狀態。


選項分析

(A) bury

bury 是「埋、掩埋」的意思。

  1. The answer is ______.

(A) allusion

(B) allegory

(C) aspiration

(D) anxiety

登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查克漏字中的「語意判斷」與「字義辨析」。空格位於:

Too much (52) can make this into a difficult experience.
過多的__會使這段經歷變得困難。

前文指出現代生活帶來許多壓力,後文又提到 stress、rest,語意集中在「焦慮、心理壓力」對青少年生活的影響。因此空格應填表示「焦慮、不安」的不可數名詞 anxiety。

解題方法

  1. 觀察句型:
    Too much + 不可數名詞 + can make...
    空格需要填入可表示某種大量心理負擔的名詞。

  2. 掌握上下文:
    題幹先說:

Modern life creates a lot of stress in people’s lives.
現代生活在人們的生活中造成許多壓力。

後文又說:

one of the most important things we can do to fight stress is to get enough rest.
我們對抗壓力最重要的方法之一,就是獲得足夠的休息。

因此第 52 空應與 stress、teenagers、difficult experience 的語意一致,指「焦慮」而非文學修辭或人生願望。

  1. 代入句子:

Too much anxiety can make this into a difficult experience.
過多的焦慮會使這段高中生活變成一段艱難的經歷。

語意完整且自然。

選項分析

(A) allusion

  • 意義:暗示、典故、影射。
  • 例:The poem contains an allusion to Greek mythology.
    這首詩含有對希臘神話的典故。
  • 這是文學或修辭相關名詞,不能合理表示青少年承受的心理壓力。
  • Too much allusion 在本句中語意不通,故錯誤。

(B) allegory

  • 意義:寓言;寓意故事;象徵性敘述。
  • 例:The story is an allegory of human ambition.
    這個故事是人類野心的寓言。
  • 它指的是一種故事或表達方式,不是造成壓力的心理狀態。

核心觀念

本題為克漏字測驗,主要測驗語境邏輯推論(Context Clues)、主詞與動詞之主謂一致性(Subject-Verb Agreement)以及醫學/科學領域專門職業名詞之辨析。解題核心在於辨識句型結構中主詞所需的詞性與數,並結合前後文探討「壓力(stress)」與「身心健康」的主題,選出具備專業權威且語意契合的職業身分。


解題方法

  1. 文法結構與詞性分析:
    定位空格所在句子:

“(53) say that one of the most important things we can do to fight stress is to get enough rest.”
((53) 指出,對抗壓力最重要的事情之一就是獲得充足的休息。)

該句的謂語動詞為原形動詞 say,說明主詞位置需要填入一個複數名詞(Plural Noun),以符合主謂一致性規則。

  1. 語境邏輯與主題判定:
    本段文章的主旨圍繞現代生活中的「壓力(stress)」、心理負擔以及如何調節與放鬆。在引述「如何應對與舒緩心理壓力」的專家建議時,語境指涉的是專門研究人類心理歷程、行為與情緒調適的心理學家。

選項分析

  • (A) chemists(化學家,名詞複數):錯誤。
    雖然文法上為複數名詞,與後方動詞 say 一致,但「化學家」的研究範疇為物質組成、性質及化學反應,與文中探討青少年面對生活問題與「抗壓力(fight stress)」的心理衛生議題缺乏直接語意關聯。

  • (B) psychologists(心理學家,名詞複數):正確。

  • 詞性與數:為複數名詞,與原形動詞 say 形成正確的主謂搭配。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題測驗「文章前後語意邏輯對比」與「生活情境核心字彙」。考生須利用從屬連接詞 While 所引導的讓步子句(表示「雖然……」),去對應主要子句中的動名詞 sleeping at night(夜間睡眠),找出符合「休息/睡眠」範疇且能形成邏輯對比的名詞。


解題方法

  1. 定位關鍵句與文法結構:
  • 原文句子:

"While (54) are nice, we should focus more on sleeping at night."

  • 中文翻譯:

「雖然**小睡(打盹)**很不錯,但我們更應該專注於夜間的睡眠。」

  1. 語意邏輯分析:
  • 連接詞 While 在此處表示「雖然、儘管」,前後子句呈現輕重對比。
  • 主要子句的核心是 sleeping at night(晚上的長時間睡眠),前方的讓步子句則提出另一種較短暫、次要的休息方式。
  • 能夠與「夜間睡眠」相對應且具備「休息放鬆」概念的字詞,唯有代表「白天小睡、午睡」的 naps。

選項分析

  • (A) naps【正確】
  • 詞性與字義:名詞(複數),意為「小睡、打盹、午睡」。
  • 分析:與主要子句的 sleeping at night 形成「短暫日間小睡 vs. 夜間常規睡眠」的完美語意呼應,符合前文提到的「充足休息(get enough rest)」,語意通順完整。

  • 句法位置判斷:空格前有所有格形容詞 our,空格後接動詞片語 can be ... and need to ...,空格處必須填入一個複數名詞或不可數名詞作為該子句的主詞。
  • 語意與語境搭配:前句提到「如同身體的任何部位」(Just like any part of the body),後文提及「可能有點脆弱需要好好照顧」(can be a little delicate and need to be taken care of),並建議「若有問題去看醫生並多休息」(see a doctor and be sure to get more rest)。因此,空格所填名詞必須是「屬於人體構造的一部分」,且在討論精神壓力(stress)的語境下,與身心狀態直接相關的生理組織。

解題方法

  1. 定位關鍵句並分析結構:

原文:「Just like any part of the body, our (55) can be a little delicate and need to be taken care of.」
翻譯:「就如同身體的任何部位一樣,我們的神經可能有點脆弱,需要被好好照料。」

  1. 抓取前後線索:
  • 「Just like any part of the body(如同身體的任何部位)」:預告主詞為身體構造或器官組織。
  • 本文主旨探討現代人因工作、學業造成的壓力(stress)、缺乏休息,因此身體中承受壓力反應的核心組織即為神經系統/神經(nerves)。
  • 英文慣用語中常以複數名詞 nerves 指稱人的「神經」或「神經系統狀態」(例如承受壓力時的緊繃或脆弱)。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查:

  1. 字義辨析:依上下文判斷動詞的正確語意。
  2. 搭配與語意邏輯:recognize the power of ... 表示「認識到……的力量/重要性」。
  3. 不定詞用法:beginning to + 原形動詞,因此空格須填入動詞原形。

句型為:

Apple is beginning to ___ the power of the localized pitch.

其中:

  • is beginning to:開始……
  • the power of ...:……的力量、影響力
  • localized pitch:在地化的宣傳訴求、針對當地市場調整的行銷說法

全句意為:

Apple 開始認識到在地化宣傳訴求的力量。

解題方法

先觀察空格前的結構:

is beginning to ___

to 為不定詞符號,後面接原形動詞。四個選項皆為動詞原形,因此須進一步依語意判斷。

再看文章內容:

  • Samsung 等較便宜的智慧型手機品牌在中國銷售較好。
  • 中國市場存在仿冒 iPhone 外型的本土品牌。
  • 中國消費者平均收入較低,而 iPhone 在中國售價高昂。
  • Apple 推出針對中國消費者的功能,以吸引中國市場。

這些資訊顯示,Apple 開始理解「針對當地市場進行調整」的重要性,因此應選 recognize。

定位答案的關鍵句為:

Apple is beginning to recognize the power of the localized pitch.

翻譯:

Apple 開始認識到在地化宣傳訴求的力量。

後文提到 Apple 推出「針對中國消費者的功能」,正是對前句 localized pitch 的具體說明。

選項分析

(A) reboot

reboot 意為「重新啟動」,通常用於電腦、手機、系統,也可引申為「重新開始」。

代入後:

Apple is beginning to reboot the power of the localized pitch.

語意變成「Apple 開始重新啟動在地化宣傳訴求的力量」,英文搭配不自然,也無法表達 Apple 開始理解市場在地化重要性的意思,因此錯誤。

(B) recognize

recognize 意為「認出、辨認;承認;認識到」。

常見搭配包括:

  • recognize the importance of ...:認識到……的重要性
  • recognize the need for ...:意識到需要……
  • recognize the power of ...:認識到……的力量

代入後:

Apple is beginning to recognize the power of the localized pitch.

(A) as

(B) like

(C) such

(D) such as

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「as+形容詞+as+主詞+動詞as + 形容詞 + as + 主詞 + 動詞」的讓步句型:

As popular as Apple is, cheaper smartphone brands like Samsung sell better in China.

此句相當於:

Although Apple is popular, cheaper smartphone brands like Samsung sell better in China.
雖然 Apple 很受歡迎,但是像 Samsung 這類較便宜的智慧型手機品牌,在中國賣得更好。

句型結構如下:

As+形容詞+as+主詞+動詞, 主要子句\text{As}+\text{形容詞}+\text{as}+\text{主詞}+\text{動詞},\ \text{主要子句}

其中第一個 as 放在句首,第二個 as 放在形容詞後,共同形成讓步語氣,表示「雖然……」。

解題方法

空格前後為:

As popular ___ Apple is

將選項代入後,只有:

As popular as Apple is

能形成完整且正確的句型。此處的 popular 是形容詞,後面接 as + 主詞 + be 動詞,構成「雖然 Apple 很受歡迎」的讓步子句。

題幹定位句:

As popular as Apple is, cheaper smartphone brands like Samsung sell better in China.

翻譯:

雖然 Apple 很受歡迎,但是像 Samsung 這類較便宜的智慧型手機品牌,在中國賣得更好。

前後語意具有轉折:Apple 很受歡迎,然而較便宜的品牌在中國銷售表現更佳,因此使用讓步句型最合理。

選項分析

(A) as:正確。

代入後為:

As popular as Apple is

符合「as+形容詞+as+主詞+beas + 形容詞 + as + 主詞 + be」的讓步句型,意思是「雖然 Apple 很受歡迎」。

(B) like:錯誤。

代入後為:

As popular like Apple is

核心觀念

本題考「詞性判斷」與「搭配語意」。

空格位於:

In a country where an urban Chinese person’s ___ income averages less than $3,500, an iPhone is a luxury product...

空格前有所有格 a person’s,空格後接名詞 income,因此需要填入一個能修飾 income 的形容詞。四個選項中,只有 annual 是形容詞,意思是「每年的、年度的」。

解題方法

先判斷句型結構:

  • an urban Chinese person’s:一位中國都市居民的
  • ___ income:___ 收入
  • averages less than $3,500:平均少於 3,500 美元

「一位都市居民的每年收入平均少於 3,500 美元」在語意上完整通順,因此填入:

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「介系詞表示舉例」的用法。句意為:Apple 的更新軟體讓使用者更容易使用中國的網路服務,例如微博、優酷與百度。

在名詞後列舉具體例子時,可使用:

  • like + 名詞:像是、例如……
  • such as + 名詞:例如……
  • for example:例如,通常作副詞片語使用,常置於句首或以逗號隔開。

題目句型為:

Chinese Web offerings like Weibo, a microblogging server; video site Youku; and search engine Baidu.

其中 like 放在名詞片語 Chinese Web offerings 後,引出具體服務名稱,文法與語意皆正確。

解題方法

先觀察空格後方的結構:

Weibo, a microblogging server; video site Youku; and search engine Baidu

空格後直接接三個名詞,功能是列舉「中國網路服務」的實例,因此需要能直接放在名詞前的舉例用語。

代入後:

Chinese Web offerings like Weibo, video site Youku, and search engine Baidu

意思是「像微博、影音網站優酷和搜尋引擎百度這些中國網路服務」,句意完整自然,故選 like。

定位答案的關鍵句為:

Updated software makes it easier to use Chinese Web offerings like Weibo, a microblogging server; video site Youku; and search engine Baidu.
更新後的軟體讓使用者更容易使用中國的網路服務,像是微博這個微型部落格伺服器、影音網站優酷,以及搜尋引擎百度。

選項分析

(A) however

however 是副詞,意為「然而、不過」,用來表示轉折,例如:

The phone is expensive. However, it is popular.

本句並非表達轉折,而是在列舉中國網路服務。且 offerings however Weibo 無法形成正確的名詞修飾結構,因此錯誤。

(B) such

such 可表示「如此的、這樣的」,也可用於舉例句型 such as:

【題組共用題幹】

The way typhoons and hurricanes are named has changed over the years and no doubt will change again. Originally, weather forecasters described typhoons and hurricanes by their positions on a map. For instance, a typhoon might be called 21.50° south, 146.52° east. But this was terribly confusing because storms did not stay in the same position. Other methods were therefore created to identify the storms.

An Australian weatherman used to name storms after politicians he disliked. His weather forecasts would contain comments such as “Typhoon Taylor is on a destructive path.” Later on, during World War I, typhoons and hurricanes were named according to the military alphabet: Abel, Baker, Charlie, and so on. After that, during World War II, women’s names were used, so weather forecasters would name them “Typhoon Betty” or “Hurricane Alice.” Then in the 1970s, because of protests from the women’s liberation movement, weather forecasters also used men’s names. After about 1975, we could hear about a storm named “George” instead of “Grace.”

  1. The author believes that names of typhoons and hurricanes ________.

(A) are necessary to weather forecasting, and should not be changed.

(B) are extremely important to describe their strength and positions.

(C) should be taken from the leaders of the women’s liberation movement.

(D) have changed many times and will certainly change again.

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查閱讀理解與作者觀點判斷。解題重點是找出文章對颱風、颶風命名方式的總結性描述,而非自行推論命名的重要性或功能。

文章開頭明確指出:

“The way typhoons and hurricanes are named has changed over the years and no doubt will change again.”
颱風和颶風的命名方式多年來一直在改變,而且毫無疑問將來還會再改變。

後文依時間順序列出命名方式的變化:

  1. 以地圖上的經緯度命名。
  2. 以不喜歡的政治人物命名。
  3. 第一次世界大戰期間採用軍事字母,如 Abel、Baker、Charlie。
  4. 第二次世界大戰期間使用女性名字。
  5. 受到女性解放運動抗議後,也開始使用男性名字。

因此,作者的主要觀點是:颱風與颶風的名稱歷經多次變化,未來還會繼續改變。

關鍵單字與片語

  • name:命名
  • typhoon:颱風
  • hurricane:颶風
  • weather forecaster:氣象預報員
  • position:位置
  • confusing:令人困惑的
  • identify:辨認、識別
  • according to:根據、按照
  • military alphabet:軍事字母
  • women’s liberation movement:女性解放運動
  • no doubt:毫無疑問地
  • over the years:多年來
  • instead of:代替,而不是
  • destructive path:具破壞性的行進路徑

文法與語意重點

句子:

“The way typhoons and hurricanes are named has changed over the years and no doubt will change again.”

其中:

  • “The way ... are named” 是名詞片語,意為「颱風和颶風被命名的方式」。
  • “has changed” 是現在完成式,表示從過去到現在已經發生的變化。
  • “will change again” 是未來式,表示未來還會再改變。
  • “no doubt” 表示作者高度確定,意為「毫無疑問」。

題目問的是:

“The author believes that names of typhoons and hurricanes ________.”

此處的 names 指「命名方式」,並非單一名稱本身。答案必須符合全文所呈現的歷史變化與未來趨勢。

解題方法

先鎖定文章首句,因為首句通常能直接呈現主旨。首句同時包含兩個關鍵訊息:

(A) Typhoon Queen Elizabeth

(B) Typhoon George

(C) Hurricane Grace

(D) Hurricane Charles

登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題為閱讀理解與語意判斷,考查:

  1. 能否依文章的時間順序掌握颱風、颶風命名方式的演變。
  2. 能否判斷選項中的人名是否符合文章所描述的命名慣例。
  3. 關鍵語意為「哪一種颱風或颶風的描述在 2004 年不會聽到」。

文章提到的命名方式依序為:

  • 以地圖上的位置命名。
  • 以不喜歡的政治人物命名。
  • 依軍事字母命名,例如 Abel、Baker、Charlie。
  • 第二次世界大戰期間使用女性名字。
  • 1970 年代後,因女性解放運動抗議,也開始使用男性名字。

因此,1975 年之後,颱風與颶風可以使用男性或女性的名字。


解題方法

先找出與年代及命名方式直接相關的句子:

“Then in the 1970s, because of protests from the women’s liberation movement, weather forecasters also used men’s names.”
「到了 1970 年代,由於女性解放運動的抗議,氣象預報員也開始使用男性名字。」

以及:

“After about 1975, we could hear about a storm named ‘George’ instead of ‘Grace.’”
「大約在 1975 年之後,我們可以聽到名為 George 的風暴,而不再只有 Grace。」

題目問的是 2004 年,因此應套用 1975 年之後的命名方式:男性名字與女性名字都可以使用。

選項中:

  • George:男性名字,符合規則。
  • Grace:女性名字,符合規則。
  • Charles:男性名字,符合規則。
  • Queen Elizabeth:不是一般的男性或女性名字,而是帶有稱號的完整稱呼,不符合文章所描述的命名形式。

因此,不能聽到的描述是 Typhoon Queen Elizabeth。


關鍵單字與片語

  • typhoon:颱風
  • hurricane:颶風
  • be named:被命名
  • over the years:多年來;隨著歲月
  • weather forecaster:氣象預報員
  • describe A by B:以 B 描述 A
  • position:位置
  • confusing:令人困惑的
  • identify:辨認;識別
  • storm:暴風;風暴
  • politician:政治人物
  • dislike:不喜歡
  • destructive path:破壞性的行進路徑
  • according to:根據;依照
  • military alphabet:軍事字母
  • women’s liberation movement:女性解放運動
  • instead of:代替;而不是
  • description:描述
  • heard:聽到,為 hear 的過去分詞

【試題解析:民國 109 年亞洲大學學士後獸醫學系招生考試《英文》第 63 題】


核心觀念:字彙在語境中的字義推斷(Contextual Vocabulary / Context Clues)

本題考查閱讀測驗中常見的「上下文推求字義」(vocabulary-in-context)。動詞 identify 具有多種語義(如:指認、辨別、證明身分、認同等),解題關鍵在於觀察目標詞前後文的「邏輯關係」與「指涉對象」。

關鍵單字與片語解析

  • identify (v.):指認、辨認、識別出(在本文中作 to recognize / distinguish 之意)。
  • confusing (adj.):令人困惑的、混亂的。
  • forecaster (n.):預報員(weather forecasters 氣象預報員)。
  • destructive (adj.):破壞性的、毀滅性的。
  • name after (phr.):以……命名。
  • military alphabet (n.):軍用無線電通話拼音字母(如:Alpha、Bravo、Charlie 等)。
  • women's liberation movement (n.):婦女解放運動。

解題方法:語境定位與上下文線索推導

  1. 定位原文關鍵句:

"Originally, weather forecasters described typhoons and hurricanes by their positions on a map. For instance, a typhoon might be called 21.50° south, 146.52° east. But this was terribly confusing because storms did not stay in the same position. Other methods were therefore created to identify the storms."

【中文翻譯】:最初,氣象預報員是以地圖上的經緯度位置來描述颱風與颶風。例如,一個颱風可能會被稱為「南緯 21.50 度,東經 146.52 度」。但這種方式極度令人困惑,因為風暴不會停留在同一個位置。因此,人們創造了其他方法來清楚辨認這些風暴。

  1. 邏輯因果推論:
  • 問題背景:早期用經緯度座標來稱呼風暴,但風暴會隨時移動,導致大家混亂、無法明確知道當下在講哪一個風暴(terribly confusing)。

解題方法

  1. 辨識題型需求:題幹問「Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in this passage?」(下列何者在本文中未被提及?),目標是找出文章中完全未出現、無依據的敘述。
  2. 全文架構與脈絡梳理:
  • 第一段:颱風與颶風命名方式歷經演變,最初使用經緯度座標(positions on a map),但因風暴移動易混淆而改用其他方式。
  • 第二段:歷史命名演進順序:
  • 澳洲氣象員用討厭的政客名字命名。
  • 第一次世界大戰(WWI):軍用代碼字母(military alphabet:Abel, Baker, Charlie...)。
  • 第二次世界大戰(WWII):女性名字(women's names:Betty, Alice...)。
  • 1970 年代:因婦女解放運動(women's liberation movement)抗議,氣象預報員開始加入男性名字,男女兼採象徵性別平衡。
  1. 逐一檢視與定位:以人名、專有名詞掃描全文,判定何者為原文未提及之內容。

選項分析

  • (A) Queen Elizabeth is the first queen to announce the official naming of hurricanes.

After that, during World War II, women’s names were used, so weather forecasters would name them “Typhoon Betty” or “Hurricane Alice.” Then in the 1970s, because of protests from the women’s liberation movement, weather forecasters also used men’s names. After about 1975, we could hear about a storm named “George” instead of “Grace.”

  1. Which of the following statements is WRONG?

(A) Naming typhoons after its position is problematic because their movement is difficult to predict.

(B) Naming typhoons after women is a collective resolution to show respect for women.

(C) Naming typhoons and hurricanes after disliked politicians shows contempt and irony.

(D) Transformations of naming typhoons and hurricanes reveal a path of development of human civilization.

核心觀念

本題為標準的「文章細節理解與推論題(Negative Detail Question)」,測驗考生能否比對原文資訊、辨識選項是否符合文意,並抓出偷換概念或無中生有的錯誤陳述。關鍵在於辨識文章中「以女性命名」的歷史背景,以及 1970 年代婦女解放運動(Women's Liberation Movement)所引發的反彈與變革。


解題方法

  1. 抓取題幹關鍵字:題目問「Which of the following statements is WRONG?(下列何者錯誤?)」,必須在四個選項中找出違背原文或文章未提及的扭曲陳述。
  2. 段落定位與比對:
  • 本文第二段按時間順序介紹了颱風命名的演變:討厭的政客 →\rightarrow 一戰軍事代碼 →\rightarrow 二戰女性名字 →\rightarrow 1970 年代女性解放運動抗議後納入男性名字。
  • 逐一將四個選項帶入原文相關段落進行真偽驗證。

定位句與原文分析

  • 定位句一(針對選項 B):

原文:"After that, during World War II, women’s names were used, so weather forecasters would name them “Typhoon Betty” or “Hurricane Alice.” Then in the 1970s, because of protests from the women’s liberation movement, weather forecasters also used men’s names."

中譯:「在那之後,於第二次世界大戰期間開始使用女性名字,因此氣象預報員會將它們命名為『貝蒂颱風』或『愛麗絲颶風』。接著在 1970 年代,由於婦女解放運動的抗議,氣象預報員也開始使用男性名字。」

解析:二戰期間開始以女性名字命名風暴,背後並非「展現對女性尊重的集體決議(collective resolution to show respect for women)」。相反地,將破壞性強的暴風雨以女性命名,在 1970 年代引發婦女解放運動抗議(認為具有性別刻板印象與貶損意味),氣象單位才因此做出調整、加入男性名字。因此選項 (B) 的陳述無中生有且與常理邏輯相悖。

  • 定位句二(針對選項 A):

原文:"Originally, weather forecasters described typhoons and hurricanes by their positions on a map. For instance, a typhoon might be called 21.50° south, 146.52° east. But this was terribly confusing because storms did not stay in the same position."

中譯:「最初,氣象預報員藉由颱風與颶風在地圖上的位置來描述它們……但這極為令人困惑,因為風暴並不會停留在同一個位置。」

解析:風暴不會停留不動,其移動路徑多變,因此單以特定經緯度命名極易造成混淆(problematic),(A) 選項符合文意。

  • 定位句三(針對選項 C):

原文:"An Australian weatherman used to name storms after politicians he disliked. His weather forecasts would contain comments such as “Typhoon Taylor is on a destructive path.”"

中譯:「一位澳洲氣象員過去常以他不喜歡的政客來為風暴命名。他的氣象預報常包含像是『泰勒颱風正處於毀滅性的路徑上』之類的評語。」

解析:將具毀滅性的天然災害以討厭的政客命名,並在預報中暗諷其帶來毀滅,明顯展現了輕蔑(contempt)與諷刺(irony),(C) 選項符合文意。

The human brain weighs about three pounds and is, without a doubt, the most complex organ in the human body. This three-pound brain has two halves, left and right, that can easily be seen.

People used to think that certain activities such as logical thinking and speech occurred only in the left half of the brain and other things like writing, music, art, and so on, occurred only in the right half of the brain.

In recent years, new technology has made it possible to study the brain in great detail. We can see which parts of the brain are being used during a human activity such as watching a ball game, reading a book, solving a math problem, and so on. Now we know that many parts of the brain work together at the same time when a human is listening to music, reading a story, or learning math.

When the brain has been injured, other parts of the brain try to take over the work the injured part was doing. Now we understand that the brain is very flexible and it never stops learning. Scientists are learning how to grow new cells to repair parts of the brain that have been injured.

  1. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

(A) Left-brained learners like to connect new things with what they have known.

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. 能否根據題幹中的明確敘述判斷選項真偽。
  3. 能否辨識文章對「左右腦分工」的修正觀點。

文章指出,過去人們認為左腦與右腦各自負責不同活動;但新科技顯示,人在進行學習、閱讀、音樂欣賞等活動時,是由腦部許多區域共同運作。因此,正確觀念是:學習時會使用腦部的許多區域,而不是只依賴單側大腦。

解題方法

先抓文章後半段的新發現,因為閱讀測驗的正確答案通常直接對應文章中的明確資訊。

定位句為:

“Now we know that many parts of the brain work together at the same time when a human is listening to music, reading a story, or learning math.”

翻譯:

「現在我們知道,當人類聽音樂、閱讀故事或學習數學時,大腦的許多部位會同時一起運作。」

選項 D 的意思是「大腦的許多部位被用來學習事物」,與定位句中的 many parts of the brain work together 完全一致,因此選 D。

選項分析

(A) Left-brained learners like to connect new things with what they have known.
左腦型學習者喜歡把新事物與已知事物連結。

錯誤。文章沒有提到「左腦型學習者」的學習偏好,也沒有提到把新知識與舊知識連結。此選項加入文章未提供的資訊,不能由本文推得。

(B) Scientists have solved all the secrets of left and right halves of the brain.
科學家已經解開左右腦所有的祕密。

錯誤。文章只說新科技讓科學家能更詳細地研究大腦,並且科學家正在學習如何培養新細胞修復受傷部位,並未表示已經完全了解大腦。
其中 all the secrets 語氣過度絕對,與文章的 Scientists are learning「科學家正在學習」不符。

(C) People use only one side of their brains to learn languages.

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」。判斷主旨時,應找出文章反覆討論的核心對象與核心內容,而非只抓某一段的細節。

本文主要說明:

  • 人腦分為左、右兩個半球。
  • 過去認為左右腦各自負責不同活動。
  • 新科技發現,許多腦部區域會同時合作。
  • 腦部受傷時,其他區域能接替受損區域的功能。
  • 人腦具有高度彈性,並能持續學習。

因此,全文重點是「人腦如何運作」,而不是單純介紹左右腦或一般醫學研究。

解題方法

主旨題要觀察全文是否圍繞同一主題發展:

  1. 第一段指出人腦是人體最複雜的器官,並提到左右兩半。
  2. 第二段介紹過去對左右腦功能的看法。
  3. 第三段說明新科技如何觀察大腦運作,以及不同腦區如何合作。
  4. 第四段進一步說明腦部受傷後的代償能力與持續學習能力。

文章從「左右腦的傳統觀念」延伸到「腦部各區域的合作、代償與學習」,主軸是人腦的功能與運作方式。

定位答案的關鍵句

“Now we know that many parts of the brain work together at the same time when a human is listening to music, reading a story, or learning math.”

意思是:「現在我們知道,當人類聆聽音樂、閱讀故事或學習數學時,大腦的許多部分會同時一起運作。」

此外,結尾也指出:

“Now we understand that the brain is very flexible and it never stops learning.”

意思是:「現在我們了解,大腦非常有彈性,而且永遠不會停止學習。」

這些句子直接呈現本文對大腦運作方式的說明,支持選項(C)。

選項分析

(A)Recent medical research on humans.
「最近對人類的醫學研究。」

錯誤。文章確實提到新科技與科學家研究,但內容集中在人腦的功能與特性,並非廣泛討論所有人類醫學研究。此選項範圍過大,且主題不夠精確。

(B)Discoveries of left and right halves of the brain.
「對大腦左半部與右半部的發現。」

錯誤。左右腦只是文章前兩段的部分內容。後文進一步談到多個腦區同時合作、腦部受傷後的代償能力,以及大腦持續學習的特性,因此不能只用左右腦的發現概括全文。

(C)How the human brain functions.
「人腦如何運作。」

正確。全文說明大腦各區域如何合作、受傷後如何由其他部位接替功能,以及大腦如何持續學習,核心正是人腦的運作方式。

(D)The secrets of human brains.
「人腦的秘密。」

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「閱讀理解中的推論題(assumption / inference question)」:根據文章整體內容,推導作者希望讀者形成的合理看法。

文章主旨是:隨著科技進步,科學家對人腦的了解日益增加,但研究仍在持續,且人腦具有高度彈性與學習能力。因此可推知,科學家正發現許多關於人腦的新知識。

解題方法

先掌握文章發展:

  1. 過去認為左右腦各自負責特定活動。
  2. 新科技讓科學家能詳細觀察大腦活動。
  3. 現在發現多個腦部區域會同時合作。
  4. 腦部受傷時,其他區域能接替受傷區域的功能。
  5. 科學家仍在研究如何培養新細胞,以修復受傷的大腦。

文章反覆呈現「新科技帶來新發現」以及「研究仍持續進行」的概念,因此答案應是對文章整體最符合的推論,而不是只擷取某個過時觀點。

定位答案的原文

“In recent years, new technology has made it possible to study the brain in great detail.”

近年來,新科技使我們能夠非常詳細地研究大腦。

“Now we know that many parts of the brain work together at the same time…”

現在我們知道,大腦的許多部位會在同一時間共同運作……

“Scientists are learning how to grow new cells to repair parts of the brain that have been injured.”

科學家正在學習如何培養新的細胞,以修復受傷的大腦部位。

這些句子顯示科學家正持續獲得新的、令人振奮的研究成果,故選項 (B) 最符合全文。

選項分析

(A) That we do not have enough technology to study the human brain.
我們沒有足夠的科技研究人腦。

錯誤。文章明確指出:

“new technology has made it possible to study the brain in great detail”

意思是新科技已經讓詳細研究人腦成為可能。選項把文章的正面資訊誤解成科技不足,與原文相反。

(B) That scientists are learning many new and exciting things about the brain.
科學家正在了解許多關於人腦的新奇且令人興奮的事物。

正確。文章提到新科技使研究更精細,也提到左右腦並非各自獨立工作、大腦受傷後其他部位能接替功能,以及培養新細胞修復腦部等新發現。這些內容都支持科學家正在學習許多新知識。

(C) That each half of the brain can only do certain things.
人腦的每一半只能執行特定的事情。

The human brain weighs about three pounds and is, without a doubt, the most complex organ in the human body. This three-pound brain has two halves, left and right, that can easily be seen.

People used to think that certain activities such as logical thinking and speech occurred only in the left half of the brain and other things like writing, music, art, and so on, occurred only in the right half of the brain.

In recent years, new technology has made it possible to study the brain in great detail. We can see which parts of the brain are being used during a human activity such as watching a ball game, reading a book, solving a math problem, and so on. Now we know that many parts of the brain work together at the same time when a human is listening to music, reading a story, or learning math.

登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題為閱讀理解的「錯誤敘述判斷題」,重點在於:

  1. 掌握文章主旨:人腦構造複雜,且各部分會共同合作。
  2. 辨識文章對傳統觀念的修正:左右腦並非各自只負責固定功能。
  3. 根據文章明確內容判斷選項,不可加入文章沒有支持的絕對推論。

文章強調人腦具有高度彈性,即使部分腦區受傷,其他腦區仍能嘗試接替受傷部位的功能。因此,含有 for sure、never 等絕對語氣的選項特別需要注意。

解題方法

題目問:

Which of the following statements is WRONG?
下列哪一項敘述是錯誤的?

解題時先定位文章中與「腦部受傷後的功能」相關的句子:

When the brain has been injured, other parts of the brain try to take over the work the injured part was doing.
當大腦受到損傷時,大腦的其他部分會嘗試接替受傷部位原本執行的工作。

這句直接表示:受傷部位的功能不一定會永久喪失,其他部分可能協助接替。

文章接著說:

Now we understand that the brain is very flexible and it never stops learning.
現在我們了解,大腦具有高度彈性,而且永遠不會停止學習。

因此,凡是主張「功能一定癱瘓」以及「永遠不會被其他部位取代」的敘述,都與文章內容相反。答案為 (A)。

選項分析

(A) When some parts of the brain are injured, certain functions relevant to these parts are paralyzed for sure and would never be taken back by other parts.

當大腦的某些部位受傷時,與這些部位相關的某些功能一定會癱瘓,而且永遠不會由其他部位接替。

本項錯誤。文章明確指出,當腦部受傷時,其他部位會嘗試接替受傷部位的工作,並強調大腦具有彈性。因此本項的 for sure(一定)與 never(永遠不)形成過度絕對的判斷,完全違反文章主旨。

(B) The human brain is a complicated organ we have not really explored thoroughly.

人腦是一個複雜的器官,我們還沒有真正徹底探索它。

本項正確。文章一開始說:

The human brain weighs about three pounds and is, without a doubt, the most complex organ in the human body.
人腦重約三磅,毫無疑問是人體中最複雜的器官。

文章也提到近年科技進步後,科學家才能更詳細研究大腦,表示人類對人腦的了解仍在持續發展,尚未完全探索透徹。

(C) Recent discoveries of the human brain bring confidence for scientists.

近年對人腦的發現帶給科學家信心。

本項正確。文章指出新科技使研究人腦細節成為可能,也提到:

The following are excerpts from Malcolm Gladwell’s David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants, in which he challenges the way we think about obstacles and disadvantages. By referring to and reconstructing the Bible story of the shepherd boy and the giant, Gladwell offers a new interpretation of what it means to cope with obvious setbacks in demonstrating how much of what is successful in the world comes out of what looks like suffering and adversity.

Passage I:

This is what Goliath was expecting—a warrior like himself to come forward for hand-to-hand (71). It never occurred to him that the battle would be fought on anything other than those terms, and he prepared (72). To protect himself against blows to the body, he wore an (73) tunic made up of hundreds of overlapping bronze fishlike scales. It covered his arms and reached to his knees and probably weighed more than a hundred pounds. He had bronze shin guards protecting his legs, with (74) bronze plates covering his feet. He wore a heavy metal (75).

Passage II:

Goliath had three separate weapons, all (76) for close combat. He held a thrusting javelin made entirely of bronze, which was capable of (77) a shield or even armor. He had a sword on his hip. And as his primary option, he carried a special kind of short-range spear with a metal shaft as “thick as a weaver’s beam.” It had a cord attached to it and an elaborate set of weights that allowed it to be released with extraordinary force and (78). As the historian Moshe Garsiel writes, “To the Israelites, this extraordinary spear, with its heavy shaft plus long and heavy iron (79), when hurled by Goliath’s strong arm, seemed capable of piercing any bronze (80) and bronze armor together.” Can you see why no Israelite would come forward to fight Goliath?

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

第 71 題考「固定搭配與語意判斷」。

題目句型為:

It never occurred to him that the battle would be fought on anything other than those terms...

前一句說明 Goliath 預期對手是「像他一樣的戰士」,進行近身的徒手戰鬥。因此空格應填入表示「戰鬥、格鬥」的名詞 combat,形成固定搭配:

hand-to-hand combat
徒手格鬥;近身肉搏

定位答案的原文

This is what Goliath was expecting—a warrior like himself to come forward for hand-to-hand combat.

翻譯:

這就是歌利亞所期待的情況——一名像他一樣的戰士走上前來進行近身肉搏。

句中的 hand-to-hand 表示「近身的、徒手的」,後面通常搭配 combat,完整意思是「近身戰鬥」。

解題方法

  1. 判斷空格詞性
    空格位於介系詞 for 後方,因此需要名詞或名詞片語。

  2. 觀察固定搭配
    hand-to-hand combat 是常見片語,意思是「徒手格鬥、近身肉搏」。

  3. 連結上下文
    後文描述 Goliath 穿著沉重盔甲,攜帶長矛、劍等武器,顯示他預期進行的是傳統近身戰,而非遠距離攻擊。

選項分析

(A) combat

名詞,意為「戰鬥、格鬥」。
hand-to-hand combat 是正確且固定的搭配,符合句意。

for hand-to-hand combat
為了進行近身肉搏

因此為正確答案。

(B) comrade

名詞,意為「同志、同袍、戰友」。
hand-to-hand comrade 不符合英文慣用搭配,且句意變成「為了近身戰友」,語意不通。

(C) command

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

第 72 題考「副詞的語意與上下文邏輯」。空格位於:

It never occurred to him that the battle would be fought on anything other than those terms, and he prepared (72).
他從未想過戰鬥會以不同於那些條件的方式進行,因此他便依照那些條件做好準備。

前句的關鍵是 those terms,指前文的 hand-to-hand combat(徒手近身戰、近身肉搏)。歌利亞預期敵人會以同樣方式與他近身戰鬥,因此他依照這種戰鬥方式準備厚重的盔甲與近戰武器。

解題方法

空格需要一個副詞,修飾 prepared,表達「依照前述情況準備」或「因此採取相應準備」的意思。

accordingly 的核心語意是:

  • 依照所述情況
  • 相應地
  • 因此而採取相應行動

句意為:

他從未想過戰鬥會以不同於那些條件的方式進行,因此他便作了相應的準備。

前後文形成「預期近身戰 → 準備近身戰所需裝備」的對應關係,故選 accordingly。

選項分析

(A) additionally
意為「此外、另外、加上」。此字用來補充另一項資訊,例如 Additionally, he carried a sword.(此外,他還攜帶一把劍。)本句並非單純增加準備事項,而是說他根據預期的戰鬥方式採取相應準備,語意不合。

(B) early
意為「早、提早」。prepare early 表示「提早準備」,重點在時間先後。本句重點是準備方式與戰鬥條件相符,不是準備得早,因此錯誤。

(C) accordingly
意為「相應地、依此、因此」。能承接前面的 those terms,表示歌利亞依照預期的近身戰鬥方式準備盔甲與武器,符合語意,正確。

第 73 題

【題組共用題幹】

The following are excerpts from Malcolm Gladwell’s David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants, in which he challenges the way we think about obstacles and disadvantages. By referring to and reconstructing the Bible story of the shepherd boy and the giant, Gladwell offers a new interpretation of what it means to cope with obvious setbacks in demonstrating how much of what is successful in the world comes out of what looks like suffering and adversity.

Passage I:

This is what Goliath was expecting—a warrior like himself to come forward for hand-to-hand (71). It never occurred to him that the battle would be fought on anything other than those terms, and he prepared (72). To protect himself against blows to the body, he wore an (73) tunic made up of hundreds of overlapping bronze fishlike scales. It covered his arms and reached to his knees and probably weighed more than a hundred pounds. He had bronze shin guards protecting his legs, with (74) bronze plates covering his feet. He wore a heavy metal (75).

Passage II:

Goliath had three separate weapons, all (76) for close combat. He held a thrusting javelin made entirely of bronze, which was capable of (77) a shield or even armor. He had a sword on his hip. And as his primary option, he carried a special kind of short-range spear with a metal shaft as “thick as a weaver’s beam.” It had a cord attached to it and an elaborate set of weights that allowed it to be released with extraordinary force and (78). As the historian Moshe Garsiel writes, “To the Israelites, this extraordinary spear, with its heavy shaft plus long and heavy iron (79), when hurled by Goliath’s strong arm, seemed capable of piercing any bronze (80) and bronze armor together.” Can you see why no Israelite would come forward to fight Goliath?

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查上下文語境搭配(Contextual Vocabulary)與形容詞語意辨析。解題關鍵在於理解後文對該件上衣/盔甲(tunic)的修飾與細部描述,並依據字首、冠詞線索及時代背景判斷何者為最適當的修飾語。


解題方法

  1. 定位關鍵句與結構分析:
  • 原文:「To protect himself against blows to the body, he wore an (73) tunic made up of hundreds of overlapping bronze fishlike scales.」
  • 中譯:「為了保護自己免於身體遭受重擊,他穿了一件由數百片重疊的青銅魚鱗甲片所構成的精緻/做工繁複的短袍。」
  1. 尋找語境線索:
  • 空格前有不定冠詞「an」,後接名詞「tunic」(古希臘、羅馬或古代近東所穿的長及膝蓋的緊身短袍、外衣)。因此,四個選項開頭皆為母音發音(/əˈkuːstɪk/, /ɪˈlɛktrɪfaɪd/, /ɪkˈsɛntrɪk/, /ɪˈlæbərət/)。
  • 空格後緊接分詞片語「made up of hundreds of overlapping bronze fishlike scales」(由數百片相互重疊的青銅魚鱗狀金屬片組合而成)。這表明該盔甲製作過程繁瑣、結構極為精巧、耗費大量工藝,故所選形容詞必須能貼切傳達「做工繁複、精巧細緻」之意。

選項分析

  • (A) acoustic(聲音的;原聲的、非電聲的):
  • 錯誤。通常用於聲音傳導、聽覺或樂器(如 acoustic guitar 原聲吉他)。用來修飾古代金屬盔甲在語意上完全不通。
  • (B) electrified(通電的、帶電的;令人極度震驚或興奮的):
  • 錯誤。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考查分詞作形容詞之修飾語意與常用字彙搭配。
在英語句構中,過去分詞(Past Participle, V-edV\text{-ed})常轉作形容詞使用,置於名詞前用以修飾名詞,表示該名詞處於被動受格狀態或具備某種附加特質。本題須根據上下文的語意邏輯(巨人的護甲裝備構造),選出最符合「附加的/附連的」修飾意涵之字彙。


解題方法

  1. 定位題幹句子:

原文定位句:
"He had bronze shin guards protecting his legs, with (74) bronze plates covering his feet."
中文翻譯:
「他有保護雙腿的青銅護脛,並附有覆蓋雙腳的青銅甲片。」

  1. 分析語法結構與語意:
  • 此處句型為「with+名詞片語+現在分詞補語\text{with} + \text{名詞片語} + \text{現在分詞補語}」的伴隨狀態結構:with [ (74) bronze plates ] [ covering his feet ]。
  • 空格 (74) 位於複數名詞片語 bronze plates(青銅金屬片)之前,需要一個具有形容詞功能的詞來修飾 bronze plates。
  • 上文提到護脛(shin guards),後文提到覆蓋腳部的甲片;歷史與軍事裝備常將保護腳掌的護甲片「連接/附著」在腿部護脛的下緣。
  • 因此,修飾 bronze plates 最貼切的形容詞為表示「附著的、附連的、固定在上面的」之過去分詞 attached。

選項分析

  • (A) accompanied:錯誤。
  • 詞性與字義:動詞 accompany(陪伴、伴隨)的過去分詞/過去式。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考克漏字中的「詞義判斷」與「搭配語意」。

句型為:

Goliath had three separate weapons, all (76) for close combat.

其中 all ___ for close combat 修飾前面的 three separate weapons,可還原為:

All three weapons were ___ for close combat.

空格需要填入過去分詞或形容詞,表達「為近身戰鬥而設計、調整得最適合」的意思。

關鍵單字與片語

  • separate:分開的、各自的
  • weapon:武器
  • close combat:近身戰鬥、近距離戰鬥
  • optimize:使最佳化、使達到最佳效能
  • optimized for:針對……最佳化、為……而特別設計
  • optional:可選的、非必要的
  • outlawed:被宣布為非法的、被禁用的
  • outcast:被排斥的人;遭放逐者

解題方法

先觀察介系詞搭配:

optimized for close combat

optimize A for B 表示「使 A 針對 B 達到最佳效果」。因此:

all optimized for close combat

意為「全部都是為近身戰鬥而最佳化的」。

文章接著說明三種武器:

He held a thrusting javelin...
He had a sword on his hip.

核心觀念

本題考克漏字中的「語意判斷」與固定句型:

be capable of + V-ing
表示「有能力……、能夠……」。

題目句型為:

which was capable of penetrating a shield or even armor.

其中介系詞 of 後面必須接動名詞,因此四個選項在詞性上皆可接續;真正關鍵在於武器的功能與上下文語意。

解題方法

定位答案的原文句子:

He held a thrusting javelin made entirely of bronze, which was capable of penetrating a shield or even armor.

翻譯:

他手持一支完全由青銅製成的刺擊用標槍,這支標槍能夠刺穿盾牌,甚至穿透鎧甲。

Passage II 描述 Goliath 的三種武器,且明確指出:

Goliath had three separate weapons, all designed for close combat.

意思是:

歌利亞有三種不同的武器,全部都是為近身戰鬥而設計。

接著描述青銅標槍的攻擊力,合理的動作應是「刺穿盾牌或鎧甲」,因此答案為 penetrating。

選項分析

(A) sharpening

sharpen 是「使……變鋒利、磨利」。

sharpening a shield

意為「使盾牌變鋒利」,盾牌是防禦裝備,並非此句所描述的攻擊對象。語意不合。

(B) penalizing

penalize 是「處罰、使受懲罰、使處於不利地位」。

penalizing a shield or even armor

意為「處罰盾牌,甚至鎧甲」,不符合武器攻擊的語境,也不符合軍事動作的搭配。錯誤。

核心觀念

本題考「字義辨析」與「語意搭配」。空格位於:

It had a cord attached to it and an elaborate set of weights that allowed it to be released with extraordinary force and (78).

句意是:這種短程長矛附有繩索與精巧的配重裝置,使它能以異常強大的力量與__被投擲出去。

「force and ___」形成並列結構,前者表示投擲的「力量」,後者應搭配表示投擲的「準確度」。因此答案為 accuracy。

關鍵單字與片語

  • force:力量;力道
  • accuracy:準確性;精確度
  • release:釋放;放出;投擲出去
  • cord:繩索
  • elaborate:精巧的;複雜的
  • set of weights:一組配重
  • extraordinary:異常的;非凡的
  • close combat:近身戰
  • thrusting javelin:用於刺擊的標槍
  • pierce:刺穿
  • shaft:矛柄;長柄
  • hurl:用力投擲
  • bronze armor:青銅盔甲

解題方法

先觀察句型:

with extraordinary force and accuracy

force 與 accuracy 由對等連接詞 and 連接,兩者共同說明武器投擲的效果:

  • force 說明投擲力道強大;
  • accuracy 說明投擲方向精準。

上下文提到配重裝置能讓長矛「以異常的力量與精準度」投出,符合武器設計所追求的兩項特性。故空格應填名詞 accuracy。

這一題的完整詳解

核心觀念

本題考「語境判斷」與「軍事裝備相關字彙」。空格位於:

“...with its heavy shaft plus long and heavy iron (79), when hurled by Goliath’s strong arm...”

句中列出長而沉重的「鐵製武器部件」,且後面接 piercing(刺穿、貫穿),因此空格應填表示「刀刃」的名詞 blade。

定位答案的關鍵句

“...this extraordinary spear, with its heavy shaft plus long and heavy iron blade, when hurled by Goliath’s strong arm, seemed capable of piercing any bronze shield and bronze armor together.”

翻譯:

「這種非凡的長矛具有沉重的矛桿,以及又長又重的鐵製刀刃;在歌利亞強壯手臂的投擲下,它似乎能夠同時刺穿任何青銅盾牌與青銅盔甲。」

解題方法

  1. 先判斷詞性:
    空格前有形容詞 iron,後方以逗號接續整個介系詞片語,因此空格應填一個名詞,與 shaft 並列,形成武器的兩個構造:
  • heavy shaft:沉重的矛桿
  • long and heavy iron blade:又長又重的鐵製刀刃
  1. 再依語意判斷:
    武器能夠 pierce 青銅盾牌與盔甲,與「刀刃」的功能直接搭配。
    iron blade 是自然且符合軍事語境的搭配。

  2. 以句型確認:
    with A plus B 表示「具有 A 加上 B」,此處是在描述長矛的組成。
    blade 與前面的 shaft 同為武器部件名詞,結構平行。

This is what Goliath was expecting—a warrior like himself to come forward for hand-to-hand (71).

看來能夠同時刺穿任何青銅製的__與青銅盔甲。

句中將兩種防具並列,結構為:

  • bronze shield:青銅盾牌
  • bronze armor:青銅盔甲

因此空格必須填入表示「盾牌」的名詞 shield。

解題方法

定位答案的關鍵句是:

To the Israelites, this extraordinary spear, with its heavy shaft plus long and heavy iron ___, when hurled by Goliath’s strong arm, seemed capable of piercing any bronze ___ and bronze armor together.

翻譯:

對以色列人而言,這種非凡的長矛具有厚重的矛桿,以及又長又重的鐵製__;當它被歌利亞強壯的手臂投擲出去時,看來能夠同時刺穿任何青銅製的__與青銅盔甲。

前一個空格是 spearhead「矛頭」,後一個空格則需要一種與 armor 並列的防具。四個選項中,只有 shield 符合語意。

完整句子為:

seemed capable of piercing any bronze shield and bronze armor together.

選項分析

  • (A) splendour

意為「壯麗、光彩、輝煌」,是抽象名詞,不能作為武器所刺穿的實體防具。
bronze splendour 意為「青銅的輝煌」,語意不通。

  • (B) spectacle

意為「壯觀的場面、奇觀;眼鏡」,指景象或物品,不是戰場上的防具。
bronze spectacle 無法與 bronze armor 構成合理的防禦裝備並列。
