試題檢討 (1): 閱讀 preposition/infinitive 介係詞/不定詞 [A] 以不定詞(to V)或介係詞(for/at/in/on/of +Ving/N)來判斷所要填的字。 3. If you are not tired, we would like to _______ you out to dinner tonight A. inviting B. invite(0) C. invitation D. invited “to” is an infinitive in this sentence, so the verb(without any inflectional/derivational changes ) “invite” is correct. 不定詞後面，只能接原型動詞。

試題檢討 (1): 閱讀 Misleading translation 誤解的翻譯 中文相似的翻譯，也會造成選答的困難。因此平常遇見中文翻譯相似 的字，花點時間去查其英文字典中的解釋。 6. It is going to be difficult to get executives to come ______ about accounting practices. A. filthy B. clear (清白的, 無罪的[(+of)]) C. clean (清白的; 無前科的) D. pure clear: free from guilt This behaviour must stop—do I make myself clear clean: honest or fair, or showing that you have not done anything illegal The judge took the defendant's clean record (= the absence of previous involvement in crime)

試題檢討 (1): 閱讀 Contrast 對比 副詞有時能夠呈現”對比”的效果。副詞前和後的名詞可以成對比。 12. Jane’s high class apartment has a surprisingly _____ back entrance. A. ordered (carefully arranged or organized) B. seedy (dirty and unpleasant, possibly connected with illegal activities) C. cherished ( pleasantly protected or collected) D. immaculate ( extremely clean) “high class apartment” may contrast with “seedy”. Good-bad relation can be taken into consideration when choosing an answer.

試題檢討 (1): 閱讀 idiom 俚語 2. These new cell phone models are selling like_____ A: gadgets[a small tool or device that does sth useful] B: sandwiches C: hotcakes (☆) D: nothing Idiom: go/sell like hotcakes (Informal) To be disposed of quickly; be in great demand: 文章難免會有俚語，最好的辦法是刪去法。 譬如: 此題動詞sell提供一些線索，therefore the complement after the verb should be served as describing the situation of “selling”. “gadgets” describes the value of the product. “sandwiches” describes how the product looks like 除此之外，選項的單字也可以提供訊息。運用聯想關係(associative relation) “hot” can denote a concept of popularity. ( such as hot spot), negativness( such as hot air), and difficulty ( such as hot potato)

試題檢討 (1): 閱讀 Contextual Clues (上下)文中的線索 34. What does the passage mean by” the world over”? A. The paintings are all over the world. B. these paintings are out of this world C. In other words, these paintings are popular. D. Paintings of the Earth are very common. 遇到不懂的片語時，利用 文章前後文所給的資訊來 意測。除此之外，並列 (parallel)的結構是英文文 章的一個特色。通常同樣/ 類似的片語會用抽換詞面 來避免重複。譬如左邊的 閱讀文章。

試題檢討 (1): 閱讀 Word Usage Even if the word “bridge” has the meaning of “connection”, its definition is not appropriately here, as instantiated below a thing that provides a connection or contact between two different things: The book serves as a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern science. Cultural exchanges are a way of building bridges between countries. 兩間公司所要建立的是”關係” ，而非作為”關係的 具/東西”。

試題檢討 (4): 有用字彙((from the test)) Vocabulary Definition and Related usages one-income family (單薪家庭) nuclear family: 小家庭, 核心家庭 double-income family: 雙薪家庭 extended family: 大家庭 enlist(徵募, 使入伍, 徵(兵)) ~ (sb) (in / into / for sth)| ~ (sb) (as sth) to join or to make sb join the armed forces call up, conscript, draft: He was enlisted into the US Navy.

試題檢討 (4): 有用字彙(from the test) Vocabulary Definition and Related usages printing vs. print Printing press? Print press? printing press noun [C] a machine that prints books, newspapers or magazines dodger a person who avoids doing what they should do: a tax dodger (= someone who avoids paying tax). liberate - To help people to be free Derived words liberating(adj. ) liberation (n. ) liberator (n. ) terminator One that terminates: a terminator of unpopular policies.

勘誤 B: Being opposed doesn't mean being upset. C From this sentence, it is realized that the recent tax increase is the possible factor in accounting for why many people started the controversy, which implies that the tax increase has taken place. However, strictly speaking, neither B. nor C is the best answer.
