FLPT 英語紙筆測驗練習題

Excuse me, there is a fly in my soup.

句意為：
對不起，我的湯裡面有一隻蒼蠅。

此題主要測試考生對於日常生活對話的反應能力。
正解為 C：「I'm sorry. I'll get you another bowl.非常抱歉！我幫您換一碗。」
答題關鍵在於能否聽懂「fly 蒼蠅」這個名詞與介系詞「in」的連音。

Doris got a ticket for speeding on her way to Taichung this morning.

句意為：
Doris今早開車到台中的路上，因為超速被開了一張罰單。

正解為 B：「I'm sorry to hear that. 我很遺憾聽到這件事。」
答題關鍵在於是否聽清楚並理解「got a ticket for speeding」。
在此情境下，選項 A「How much is the fare? 車票多少錢？」、 選項 C「Why didn't she drive there? 她為什麼不開車去？」及選項 D「But there's no rush for the ticket. 但是並不急著拿票啊。」皆不是聽到題目後的正常回應。

W: Guess what? I found a new apartment. I'm going to move next week.
M: You are? Why do you want to move? Do you have to?
W: No, I just want to. This new apartment has more space than my old one and the neighborhood is quieter. Unfortunately, my rent will be higher.
M: Well, maybe this is a good time to ask for a raise.
Question: According to the conversation, which of the four statements is true?

對話內容：
女聲：你猜怎麼著？我找到一間新公寓了。下星期搬家。
男聲：真的嗎？為什麼要搬？是不得已嗎？
女聲：不是，我只是想搬。這間新公寓比我原來的公寓空間還大，而且居家環境也比較安靜。可惜的是我的房租會比較貴。
男聲：欸，也許這是一個要求加薪的好時機。

問題：根據這段對話，下列四項敘述何者為真？
正解為 D：「The new apartment is larger than the old one. 新的公寓比舊的大。」
此題主要測試考生從一段對話中得知主旨與相關細節、原因的能力。
在此對話中，女聲提到「No, I just want to.我只是想搬。」因此選項 A「The woman prefers not to move.她不想搬。」並非正確敘述。
男聲 在對話末提及「...maybe this is a good time to ask for a raise. 也許這是一個要求加薪的好時機。」僅是一個「提議」，並非既成事實，因此選項 B「The man is happy that the woman got a raise in pay. 男人很高興女人加薪了。」所述非真。
女聲在對話中說明新家優點後曾說「Unfortunately, my rent will be higher. 可惜的是，我的房租會比較貴。」因此選項 C「The rent for the new apartment will be less. 新公寓的房租會比較便宜。」所言並非正確。
最後，女聲曾提及「This apartment has more space than my old one...這間新公寓比我原來的公寓空間還大」，因此選項 D「The new apartment is larger than the old one.」才是正答。

Now for the weekend weather forecast.
It's still raining here in San Diego and it looks like the rain is going to continue through the weekend.
It'll be cloudy tomorrow with scattered showers and the outlook for Sunday, more rain and colder.
The predicted high for tomorrow is 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
Question: What will the weather in San Diego be like on the weekend?

短文內容：
現在是週末天氣預報。聖地牙哥仍然為有雨的天氣，而且看來會持續到週末。
明日為多雲偶陣雨的天氣型態，星期天則會更冷及多雨。明日預測最高溫為華氏40度。

問題：這週末聖地牙哥的天氣如何？
正解為 D：「It'll be cold and rainy. 冷而且會下雨。」
此題測驗考生從一段話中擷取重點訊息的能力。
根據問題，錄音內容重點在於「the rain is going to continue through the weekend」和「the outlook for Sunday, more rain and colder」。
因此，選項 A、B、C 皆與錄音內容不符：
選項 A「clear up（天氣）放晴」，選項 B「It'll be very hot.（明天）會很熱」，選項 C「fair 好（天氣）」。
另外，錄音內容中「the predicted high」為天氣預報慣用語，意指「預測的最高溫」，「high」在此處當名詞用。

(For questions no. 1 and 2, you will listen to a conversation between two colleagues.)
M: I was just given permission to go ahead with the customer service training program that we designed.
W: Excellent. We need to act on this soon. The quality of service in our hotel has been steadily deteriorating. Online comments have been quite negative recently.
M: The general manager says we've got two weeks to get the program started.
W: Have the employees been notified yet?
M: No. No one outside the Personnel Department knows anything about this. We need to manage this carefully.
W: Right. We don't want to intimidate anyone.
M: We need to keep morale up as we address the weaknesses in our customer service system.
Question number 1: What have the speakers just learned about?

對話內容：
（第1~2題，您將聽到一段兩位同事間的對話。）
男聲：我們規劃的客戶服務訓練已獲許可可著手進行了。
女聲：太好了，我們要盡快進行。我們飯店的服務品質越來越糟。最近網路評價相當負面。
男聲：總經理說我們有兩個禮拜準備這個訓練。
女聲：員工已經被告知了嗎？
男聲：還沒。除了人事部門外，沒有其他人知道。我們必須謹慎處理。
女聲：沒錯，我們不希望任何人被嚇到。
男聲：在改善客戶服務的同時我們還要提振員工士氣。

問題1：談話者剛剛得知什麼事？
正答為 A：A decision made by their supervisor.（一項主管做的決定）。
此題測試考生是否理解此段對話中重要細節。
對話中，男聲提到I was just given permission to go ahead with the customer service training program that we designed.（我們規劃的客戶服務訓練已獲許可可著手進行了），此項許可乃是主管所做的決定，故選項A為正確答案。
對話中未提及任何建議，因此選項 B：Suggestions they should implement.（他們必須執行的建議）並非正確敘述。
談話者在對話中提到The quality of service in our hotel has been steadily deteriorating.（我們飯店的服務品質越來越糟），表示他們已經注意到這個問題，因此選項C：A factor that they had overlooked.（一個他們所忽略的因素）並不正確。
另，女聲提及Online comments have been quite negative recently.（最近網路評價相當負面），但並未提到任何飯店客人的抱怨，因此選項D：Complaints from the hotel guests.（飯店客人的抱怨）亦不正確。

Question number 2: Why do the speakers want to keep the information private?

問題2：為何談話者想保密此資訊？

正答為B：To avoid discouraging the staff.（避免員工感到沮喪）。
此題測試考生是否可根據對話內容做出推論。
女聲提及Right. We don't want to intimidate anyone.（沒錯，我們不希望任何人被嚇到），男聲亦提到We need to keep morale up.（我們要提振士氣），因此可推論正答為B。
其它選項A：To protect someone's identity.（保護某人的身分）、C：To ensure that fairness is maintained.（確保公平性）及D：To prevent a tragedy from taking place.（預防悲劇的發生）非對話者提到的理由，故不正確。
