共 10 題/每題選出最適合題意的字詞
請由四個選項中,選出一個最適合句意的字或詞。
1The at the corner market cuts and sells fresh meat every morning.
Acommander
Bcyclist
Cinstructor
Dbutcher
✔ 正確答案:(D) butcher
中譯轉角市場的肉商每天早上都會分切並販售新鮮的肉。
解析cuts and sells fresh meat(分切並賣肉)指的就是「肉商 butcher」。commander 是指揮官、instructor 是教練或講師、cyclist 是騎自行車的人,都與賣肉無關。
單字butcher 肉商、肉舖、instructor 教練、講師、commander 指揮官
2Our teacher is very about deadlines; late homework gets no credit at all.
Acontinual
Bwicked
Cexplosive
Dstrict
✔ 正確答案:(D) strict
中譯我們老師對繳交期限非常嚴格;遲交的作業完全不計分。
解析後半句 late homework gets no credit(遲交不計分)說明態度「嚴格 strict」。continual 是頻繁的(形容反覆發生的事)、wicked 是邪惡的、explosive 是易爆的,都不能形容對期限的態度。
單字strict 嚴格的、wicked 邪惡的、淘氣的、continual 頻繁的、連續的
3He wrote a short to the customer whose order had arrived three days late.
Acomplaint
Bcriticism
Capology
Ddeclaration
✔ 正確答案:(C) apology
中譯他寫了一封簡短的道歉信給那位訂單晚了三天才送到的顧客。
解析出錯的是店家,寫給顧客的應是「道歉 apology」。complaint 是顧客反過來提出的投訴、declaration 是正式聲明、criticism 是批評,方向都相反或語意不合。
單字apology 道歉、complaint 埋怨、投訴、criticism 批評、評論
4Red signs along the cliff hikers to stay behind the wooden fence.
Awarn
Bconcerning
Cdominate
Dinstall
✔ 正確答案:(A) warn
中譯沿著懸崖的紅色標示牌警告健行者待在木柵欄後方。
解析warn somebody to do something 是「警告某人做某事」,符合懸崖邊標示的功能。install 是安裝、dominate 是支配,都不能接「人 + to + 原形動詞」;concerning 關於 是介系詞,更不能當動詞用。
單字warn 警告、提醒注意、dominate 支配、統治、concerning 關於
5A wedding is a formal , so most guests wear a suit or a dress.
Aversion
Bproperty
Coccasion
Devolution
✔ 正確答案:(C) occasion
中譯婚禮是正式的場合,所以大多數賓客都會穿西裝或洋裝。
解析formal ____ 是固定搭配 formal occasion(正式場合),也解釋了為何要盛裝。version 是版本、property 是財產、evolution 是演化,都不能被 formal 修飾成「場合」。
單字occasion 場合、盛典、version 版本、說法、evolution 演化、演變
6Please give me a date; saying that you will finish it soon is not enough.
Acontinuous
Bspecific
Ccourageous
Dconsiderable
✔ 正確答案:(B) specific
中譯請給我一個明確的日期;只說你很快會完成是不夠的。
解析與後半句的模糊說法 soon 對比,要求的是「明確的 specific」日期。continuous 是不間斷的、courageous 是勇敢的、considerable 是相當多的,都不能用來說明日期明不明確。
單字specific 特定的、明確的、continuous 不斷的、連續的、courageous 勇敢的
7The old wooden bridge began to under the weight of the loaded wagon.
Acollapse
Benable
Cwhistle
Ddistinguish
✔ 正確答案:(A) collapse
中譯在滿載貨車的重量下,那座老木橋開始倒塌。
解析under the weight of(在重量的壓迫下)自然導致橋「倒塌 collapse」。distinguish 是區分、enable 是使能夠、whistle 是吹哨,都無法承接重量造成的結果。
單字collapse 倒塌、崩潰、distinguish 區分、顯出特色、enable 使能夠
8My brother has a to put off his homework until the very last minute.
Aproverb
Bsum
Ctendency
Dtext
✔ 正確答案:(C) tendency
中譯我弟弟有個傾向,總把功課拖到最後一刻才做。
解析have a tendency to + 原形動詞是「有做某事的傾向」,符合描述習慣。proverb 是諺語、sum 是總和、text 是文本,皆不能接 to 表示習性。
單字tendency 傾向、趨勢、proverb 諺語、sum 總和
9Scientists use a to study cells that the naked eye cannot see.
Alens
Bmicroscope
Cshell
Dbead
✔ 正確答案:(B) microscope
中譯科學家用顯微鏡研究肉眼看不見的細胞。
解析觀察肉眼看不見的細胞要靠「顯微鏡 microscope」。lens 只是其中一片鏡片,本身不是儀器;shell 是殼、bead 是珠子,都不合。
單字microscope 顯微鏡、lens 鏡片、bead 有孔的珠子
10You to see a dentist if your gums keep bleeding when you brush.
Amight
Bought
Cwould
Dcan
✔ 正確答案:(B) ought
中譯如果你刷牙時牙齦一直流血,你應當去看牙醫。
解析空格後有 to see,只有 ought 能構成 ought to(應當)這個助動詞片語。might、would、can 後面必須直接接原形動詞,不能加 to。
單字ought 應當、might 可能、或許、would (表示婉轉的請求)請、將會

段落填空 Cloze

共 10 題/兩篇短文,每篇 5 格
請閱讀短文,並由四個選項中選出最適合每個空格的答案。
Passage 1
More Than Just Calories

Most shoppers look at the price first, but the label on the side of the box tells a longer story, and reading it takes only a few seconds. It lists every 11 the food contains, from fat and sugar to salt. A bowl of whole 12 such as brown rice or oats releases energy slowly, while beans and fish supply the 13 that muscles need to repair themselves. Fresh fruit adds 14 C, which the body cannot store for long. Nutritionists warn that a spoonful of 15 poured over breakfast can undo much of the good work.

Questions 11–15
11
Anutrient
Blemonade
Ccriticism
Dapology
✔ 正確答案:(A) nutrient
解析後面舉例 from fat and sugar to salt(脂肪、糖、鹽),這些都屬於食品標示上的「養分 nutrient」。lemonade 是檸檬水、criticism 是批評、apology 是道歉,都不會列在食品標示上。
12
Atexts
Bgrains
Clenses
Dgums
✔ 正確答案:(B) grains
解析由 such as brown rice or oats(糙米或燕麥)可知空格是「穀物 grains」,whole grains 即全穀類。gums 是口香糖或牙齦、lenses 是鏡片、texts 是文本,皆不合。
13
Agum
Bflesh
Cprotein
Dsyrup
✔ 正確答案:(C) protein
解析豆類與魚提供的、且是肌肉修復所需的,是「蛋白質 protein」。syrup 是糖漿、flesh 泛指肉、gum 是樹脂或口香糖,都不是肌肉修復的養分。
14
Avitamin
Bdigestion
Cnutrition
Dcriticism
✔ 正確答案:(A) vitamin
解析空格後緊接著字母 C,只有「維他命 vitamin C」這種說法。nutrition 是營養這個概念、digestion 是消化、criticism 是批評,都不能加上 C。
15
Asyrup
Blemonade
Cnylon
Dgrain
✔ 正確答案:(A) syrup
解析a spoonful of ____ poured over breakfast(一匙淋在早餐上)指甜甜的「糖漿 syrup」,也呼應前面營養師的警告。nylon 是尼龍、lemonade 是檸檬水、grain 是穀物,都不會用湯匙淋在早餐上。
全文中譯多數購物者先看價格,但盒子側面的標示述說著更長的故事,而讀完它只需要幾秒鐘。上面列出這項食物含有的每一種養分,從脂肪、糖到鹽。一碗糙米或燕麥之類的全穀物能提供身體緩慢釋放的能量,而豆類與魚則供應肌肉修復自身所需的蛋白質。新鮮水果補充維他命 C,那是身體無法長時間儲存的。營養師警告,早餐上淋的一匙糖漿,可能抵銷掉大部分的努力。
Passage 2
A Morning at the Butcher Shop

Mr. Alvarez opens his shop at six in the morning. By seven the counter is full of fresh 16, cut from animals raised on farms only an hour away. Years behind the block have taught him to 17 good meat from poor meat at a glance. He is glad to explain which cuts have firm 18 and which ones carry more fat. Older shoppers tell him that heavy meals are harder to 19 than they once were, so he points them toward lighter choices. Beside the door hangs a small board with an old 20 about eating slowly.

Questions 16–20
16
Ashells
Bbeads
Cchops
Dgums
✔ 正確答案:(C) chops
解析肉舖櫃檯上 cut from animals(從牲畜身上分切下來)的東西是「帶骨肉塊 chops」。beads 是珠子、shells 是殼、gums 是口香糖,都不是肉舖賣的商品。
17
Adominate
Bdistinguish
Cinstall
Dcultivate
✔ 正確答案:(B) distinguish
解析句型 ____ good meat from poor meat 是 distinguish A from B(把 A 與 B 區分開來)。dominate 是支配、install 是安裝、cultivate 是耕作,都無法搭配 from 表示辨別。
18
Agrain
Bgum
Csyrup
Dflesh
✔ 正確答案:(D) flesh
解析與後半句 carry more fat(油脂較多)對比,前面說的是「肉質 flesh」結實。syrup 糖漿、gum 樹脂、grain 穀物都不是肉的一部分。
19
Adigest
Benable
Caccord
Dwarn
✔ 正確答案:(A) digest
解析heavy meals are harder to ____(油膩餐點較難……)指的是「消化 digest」,所以他才改推薦清爽的選擇。warn 是警告、enable 是使能夠、accord 是一致,語意都不通。
20
Aproverb
Bcomplaint
Crepublican
Dapology
✔ 正確答案:(A) proverb
解析掛在門邊、關於細嚼慢嚥的一句 old ____,指的是流傳已久的「諺語 proverb」。complaint 是投訴、apology 是道歉,都不會掛在店門口;republican 是共和主義者,指人,更不可能被寫成一句話掛著。
全文中譯阿爾瓦雷茲先生早上六點開店。到了七點,櫃檯上已擺滿新鮮的帶骨肉塊,來自只有一小時車程外農場所飼養的牲畜。多年站在肉砧後的經驗讓他一眼就能分辨肉的好壞。他很樂意解說哪些部位肉質結實、哪些部位油脂較多。年長的顧客告訴他,油膩的餐點比從前更難消化,於是他會推薦他們較清爽的選擇。門邊掛著一小塊板子,上面寫著一句關於細嚼慢嚥的古老諺語。

ARTICLE
Why Whole Grains Fill You Up

White rice and white bread are easy to digest, which sounds like good news. In fact, food that leaves the stomach quickly also leaves the eater hungry again within an hour.

Whole grains behave differently. Because the outer layer stays on, digestion takes longer and sugar enters the blood slowly. A study in Japan found that office workers who ate brown rice at noon ate about 15 percent less at dinner.

Nutritionists add one warning: whole grains are not a magic cure. A bowl covered in sugar or syrup loses most of its advantage.

全文中譯

白米與白麵包容易消化,聽起來像是好消息。事實上,很快離開胃部的食物,也會讓人在一小時內再度感到飢餓。

全穀類則不同。因為外層仍保留著,消化需要更久的時間,糖分也較緩慢進入血液。日本一項研究發現,中午吃糙米的上班族,晚餐大約少吃百分之十五。

營養師補充一項提醒:全穀類並不是萬靈丹。一碗淋滿砂糖或糖漿的穀物,會失去大部分的好處。

Questions 25–28
25According to the article, what is the problem with white rice?
AIt makes the eater hungry again soon
BIt contains no sugar at all
CIt costs too much
DIt is difficult to cook
✔ 正確答案:(A) It makes the eater hungry again soon
中譯根據文章,白米的問題是什麼?
解析第一段說 food that leaves the stomach quickly also leaves the eater hungry again within an hour。
26Why does digestion take longer with whole grains?
AThey contain much more salt
BThey are always cooked twice
CThe outer layer of the grain is not removed
DTheir effect is contrary to that of brown rice
✔ 正確答案:(C) The outer layer of the grain is not removed
中譯為什麼全穀類消化得比較慢?
解析第二段說 Because the outer layer stays on, digestion takes longer。糙米 brown rice 本來就是全穀類的一種,說兩者效果 contrary 相反的並不成立。
27What did the study in Japan find?
AWorkers preferred white rice
BWorkers ate less at dinner
CWorkers showed a remarkable rise in energy
DWorkers slept much better
✔ 正確答案:(B) Workers ate less at dinner
中譯日本的研究發現了什麼?
解析文中說吃糙米的上班族 ate about 15 percent less at dinner。研究並未提到精力有 remarkable 非凡的、顯著的提升。
28What warning do nutritionists give?
AWhole grains should be eaten raw
BOnly athletes need whole grains
CBrown rice is bad for the stomach
DSugar or syrup cancels much of the benefit
✔ 正確答案:(D) Sugar or syrup cancels much of the benefit
中譯營養師提出什麼提醒?
解析最後一段說 A bowl covered in sugar or syrup loses most of its advantage。
