Don't overlook it. A. both B. all C. each D. either 釋疑 釋疑 句意為:「紙張的雙面都印有資料,不要看漏了。」 此題主要是依上下文選擇適合放入空格的限定詞,考生必須注意到 sides 為複數,才能正確選出正答 A「both 兩面的、兩者的」。 選項 B「all 所有的、全部的」限定使用於三者以上,而紙張只有兩面,故非正答。 練習2: Because he doesn't have enough money in his account, Paul _______ cash the checks he made out to me. A. asked me not to B. asked me don't C. didn't ask me D. asked me not 釋疑 釋疑 句意為:「因為保羅的帳戶裡沒有足夠的錢,所以他要求我不要將他開給我的支票兌現。」 此題主要是考不定詞「to + Verb」的否定用法,「not」必須置於「to + Verb」的前面,故正答為 A。選項 D 因為沒有不定詞「to」,所以非正解。 練習3: _______ for my parents' support, I could never have graduated from medical school. A. It had not been B. Had it not been C. Would it have been D. It would have been 釋疑 釋疑 句意為:「如果沒有我父母的支持,我是絕對無法從醫學院畢業的。」 此題主要在測試假設語氣的倒裝用法。如將原句還原,這個句子應為「If it had not been my parents'support, I could never have graduated from medical school.」考生必須先留意到後半部主要子句中「could (never) have + 過去分詞」為對過去事件的假設語氣用法,才能知道前半部 If 子句中應使用過去完成式。 If 子句倒裝的用法是先將連接詞「If」省略,然後將助動詞移到句首,所以正答為 B:「Had it not been」。選項 C 還原成 If 子句會是「If it would have been」,語意上不通,故非正解。 練習4: The museum _______ in the center of the city was built in 1880. A. located B. is located C. locates D. locating 釋疑 釋疑 句意為:「座落在城市中央的博物館是在1882年建立的。」 此題測驗的重點有兩個,首先,考生必須了解 locate 這個動詞在中文與英文中的主被動用法不同,在中文語法裡「某建築物座落在某處」是主動形式,但在英文語法裡必須使用被動形式「a building is located at a place」,選項 C、D 皆為主動型態,因此不是正答。 另外,考生需要注意到的是這個句子的主詞是「The museum」,它的動詞是在句尾的「was built」,而不是緊接在「museum」之後的空格。「______ in the center of the city」可以是一個後位修飾的形容詞子句或者過去分詞片語。換言之,空格內必須填入「which is located」或「located」,才能成為合乎文法的句子。選項 B 缺少了先行詞「which」,造成本句有兩個主動詞,不合文法,所以非正解;只有 A 才是正答。 練習5: Over 300 causes were found for headaches, _______ circulatory problems to food sensitivity. A. for example B. including C. ranging from D. composed of 釋疑 釋疑 句意為:「造成頭痛的原因有300種以上,範圍涵蓋血液循環問題到食物過敏。」 此題主要是從上下文推斷適合放入空格的詞語,主要子句是「Over 300 causes were found for headaches」,逗點後之「______ circulatory problems to food sensitivity」可以是介係詞或分詞片語,修飾名詞「headaches」。惟考生必須注意到「circulatory problems 血液循環問題」和「food sensitivity 食物過敏」兩個名詞中間是以介係詞「to」連結,只有選項 C「ranging from」才是正確的搭配。「ranging from... to...」意思為「範圍從…到…」。如選 A、B 或 D,則「circulatory problems」及「food sensitivity」中間必須改以「and」連結,才是合乎文法的句子。其中,選項 D「composed of 由…所組成」,即便我們將「to」改成「and」,仍舊是一個不好的句子,因為「頭痛是由血液循環問題及食物過敏組成」在語意上不通。 Part B: 本部分包括兩個段落,每個段落各含五個空格。每題請由 A、B、C、D 四個備選答案中選出一個最適合題意的字或詞作答。 練習 Questions 1-5 (點選藍色數字選擇) Dancers and athletes are not the only ones to suffer injuries caused by the repeated use of particular muscles. In fact, a muscle injury is as likely to end the career of a pianist (1) it is that of a football player. In the same way that sports can put excess (2) on large muscles, playing a musical instrument can overwork small ones. (3) , holding a violin firmly in place necessitates tensing muscles in the neck and jaw. Few musicians can maintain ideal posture while they practice (4) the size, weight, or inconvenient shape of their instruments. Doctors recommend frequent breaks during practice sessions for stretching, (5) musicians are generally unwilling to interrupt their music for the sake of their health. 內容大意 釋疑 內容大意 本文主要說明舞者或運動員並非是唯一會受到肌肉運動傷害的族群,音樂家亦有可能因為重複使用某塊肌肉或是長期維持某種姿勢而受到傷害。 釋疑 In fact, a muscle injury is as likely to end the career of a pianist (1) it is that of a football player. #1,本題測驗重點為as...as的用法。空格前方出現as likely to...因此可推論本題應該要用另一個as來連接子句。因此正答為A:as。 In the same way that sports can put excess (2) on large muscles, playing a musical instrument can overwork small ones. #2,本題須依前後文選出適合文意的字詞。本句句意為:「如同運動會施加過多的壓力於大肌肉上,演奏樂器亦會過度使用小肌肉。」由後方子句可推論本題與「過度使用肌肉」相關,四個選項中只有B最符合句意,因此正答為B:stress(壓力)。 …playing a musical instrument can overwork small ones. (3) , holding a violin firmly in place necessitates tensing muscles in the neck and jaw. #3,本題前一句提到「演奏樂器會過度使用肌肉」,本句則提到「演奏小提琴時會使頸部及下顎肌肉過度緊繃」,因此可推論本句應為上句的一個例子,因此正答為D:For instance(例如)。 Few musicians can maintain ideal posture while they practice (4) the size, weight, or inconvenient shape of their instruments. #4,本題前面的子句提到「很少有音樂家能維持良好姿勢」,後方子句則提到「樂器的尺寸、重量、或不便持握的形狀」,因此推論後方子句是在說明原因,因此正答為C:due to(由於)。 Doctors recommend frequent breaks during practice sessions for stretching, (5) musicians are generally unwilling to interrupt their music for the sake of their health. #5,本題測驗重點為連接詞的用法。前一句提到「醫生建議在練習期間多休息並伸展」,後一句提到「音樂家通常不願意為了健康因素打斷他們的練習」,因此可推論此兩句為相反之概念,因此正答為A:but(然而)。 (1) 選項 A. as B. neither C. than D. nor (2) 選項 A. anxiety B. stress C. attention D. effect (3) 選項 A. At first B. On the contrary C. In the long run D. For instance (4) 選項 A. together with B. aside from C. due to D. except for (5) 選項 A. but B. or C. so D. and Submit Reset
