  Much of literary criticism looks at works regardless of the time they were written in; in other words, too many literary critics judge past works by the standards of their own time and values. For example, in today's world nearly everyone in developing and developed countries can read, a fact many of these professional critics ignore. Only in the late 19th century did public education slowly develop, thereby allowing "the masses" to read and write. Before that, only the educated of the upper classes could enjoy reading. Novels written at that time were aimed at these classes; those aimed at the "general reading public" developed only in the 20th century. It is unfair, therefore, to judge books written more than a hundred years ago by today's social values.  不少的文學批評在看待文學作品時，對於作品本身的時空背景均不予理會。換言之，太多的文學批評家都是從自己的時代和價值觀點來論斷過去的作品。舉例來說，在現今的世界，不論是開發中或已開發國家，幾乎人人都能閱讀。這個事實是現今很多專業批評家所忽略的。直到十九世紀末期大眾教育才慢慢成形，因此便讓『一般大眾』能讀能寫了。在此之前，只有上流階級的知識份子才能享受閱讀的樂趣。當時的小說就是針對這些階級而寫的。針對『一般讀者大眾』的小說是在二十世紀才發展出來。所以用今天的社會價值觀來評定一百多年前所寫的書是不公平的。

  OK, guys, listen up. My name is Eric Thurmond, and I'm the leader of the second floor. For all you new guys, we have some rules around here that have worked over the years to everyone's advantage, and we need you to observe them. First, keep the bathroom clean. We have 24 guys in six rooms on this floor, so we have to keep things in good order, especially the bathroom. No one wants to be getting sick, right? Anyone caught not cooperating on keeping the bathroom clean will have bathroom duty two times. Otherwise, we take turns, two different guys each weekend throughout the semester. Second, for security reasons, make sure you lock the gate if you come back after 10:00 p.m. I don't have to explain that. Finally, keep it quiet especially at night! We're here to study, not to fool around all day. Violators will be warned only once on this rule, then, you're out!  好的，大家聽到。我的名字叫艾瑞克．瑟蒙，我是二樓的『樓長』。對於所有新進的弟兄，我們有一些在此奉行多年、對大家有益的規則要你們遵守。第一，要維持廁所乾淨整潔。我們這一層樓六個房間住有二十四個人，所以務必要把東西收拾整齊，尤以廁所為然。沒有人想要生病，對吧？任何人只要被發現未能配合維持廁所清潔的話，將有兩次罰掃廁所的勤務。否則，大家輪流清掃，每個週末替換兩個人直到本學期結束。其次，為了安全起見，如果你在晚上十點後回來，務必要將大門鎖上。這點我無需解釋。最後一點，請大家保持安靜，尤其是在晚上！我們是來這裡讀書的，不是來這裡整天胡鬧的。違反此規定者將被警告一次，再犯者則予以逐出！

  I'm now adding some conditioner after shampooing her hair. Remember, though, to make sure to wash out all the soap before adding the conditioner. Add it when the hair is still wet. As with shampooing, gently massage the conditioner into the hair, right down to the skin. Likewise, never use your fingernails to scrub the hair or the skin. That will only break the hair or loosen the hair on the scalp, resulting in dry skin or "snow." Leave the conditioner there for 10 to 15 minutes, wash thoroughly, and then take your client to the next step, the manicure. For that, allow me to introduce Kerri Halloway, who will demonstrate the correct way to treat fingernails.  用洗髮精洗好她的頭髮後，我現在要加點潤絲精。不過，記得務必將洗髮精沖洗乾淨之後再使用潤絲精，而且要在頭髮未乾之前使用。就像使用洗髮精一樣，要將潤絲精輕輕按摩到頭髮裡以滲入皮膚。同樣地，千萬不要用指甲來抓洗頭髮或皮膚。這樣子會使頭髮斷裂或使頭皮上的頭髮鬆弛無力，造成皮膚乾燥或頭皮屑。讓潤絲精維持十到十五分鐘，徹底洗淨，然後帶妳的客人至下一個步驟，即『修指甲』。關於這一項，容我介紹凱莉．哈勒維給大家認識，她會為大家示範處理指甲的正確方式。

  Please pay close attention now because we are working with dangerous substances. Look at the equipment in front of you. There are two beakers labeled acid and base. Our assignment is to find out how much acid it will take to neutralize the base in the beaker. Of course you will use pH-testing paper to monitor the mixture until it reaches 7.0. Since either the acid or base can burn your skin or cause serious eye injury, you must first put on your protective equipment, first the goggles, and then your rubber gloves. Remember to use the pipette to add acid into the beaker containing the base. Never pour one into the other.  因為我們操作的是具危險性的物質，所以現在請大家特別小心。看看你前面的設備。有兩個燒杯，上面分別標示著酸和鹼。我們的任務就是要找出需要多少酸才能中和在燒杯內的鹼。當然，你會用酸鹼測試紙來檢測該混合物的pH值是否達到7.0。因為不論是酸或鹼都可能灼傷你的皮膚或造成眼睛嚴重受傷，所以你一定要先穿戴防護裝備，最先是護目鏡，再來則是橡膠手套。記得使用吸量管將酸液加到裝有鹼液的燒杯內。絕對不可以直接把一個燒杯裡的東西倒入另一個燒杯裡。

The relatively large and furry animals that we call mammals are grouped by zoologists into more than a dozen major groups called orders. Of these, the order with the largest number of species contains the bats, _(1)_ nearly one-fourth of all known species of mammals. _(2)_ their large numbers, bats are perhaps the most misunderstood of all animals. One reason for this might be _(3)_ bats are active when people are less likely to be out of doors, that is, _(4)_ dusk and dawn. Their speedy and erratic flight prohibits close examination of these fascinating animals as well. Again, their reputation _(5)_ "creatures of the night" and their often weird or even ugly appearance _(6)_ the superstitions about and ignorance of these ecologically important animals. For example, the saying, "as _(7)_ as a bat" is not true. Bats have eyes and can see (though not so well) during the day; at night bats use natural radar to detect flying insects which become their _(8)_.  我們稱之為哺乳類的較大型且毛茸茸的動物被動物學家分為十二種以上的群體或『目』。當中又以蝙蝠這個目為最大宗，其數目幾佔所有已知的哺乳動物之四分之一。 儘管蝙蝠的數量眾多，它們也許是所有動物中被誤解最深的。其中的一個原因也許是蝙蝠活躍於人們比較不可能待在外頭的時候，即黃昏或黎明。牠們快速又不規律的飛行也防礙了人們對這些令人好奇的動物仔細觀察。加之，做為夜行動物的名聲及通常怪異甚至醜陋的外貌也對這些生態上重要的動物平添一些迷信與無知。例如，『與蝙蝠一樣瞎眼』這個說法就不對。蝙蝠有眼睛而且在白天還看得到?鷁M不是很清楚。蝙蝠晚上則利用與生俱來的雷達偵測飛行中的昆蟲，而這些昆蟲往往成為牠們的捕食對象。

Einstein came up with the special theory of relativity while working as a clerk in a patent office. He did not completely formulate the more complex general theory until fifteen years later, in 1920. While these were Einstein's most famous achievements, Einstein's genius was evident throughout his long career. An explanation of so-called Brownian movement and of the photoelectric effect were just two of his numerous other epochal contributions to scientific understanding.

First of all, prepare the eggs by beating them until they are lightly bubbled. Heat a small amount of oil in a pan over a medium heat and then pour just enough of the eggs to cover the bottom of the pan. Using a fork, pull in along the edge of the cooking eggs, and then tilt the pan so that the liquid on top flows over the edge and onto the pan underneath. Repeat this quickly at other places around the edge until there is no liquid egg left, but the top is still moist. Doing this will allow all the eggs to cook quickly without becoming tough.

The desire to be beautiful is as old as civilization. People of all times and places have shown their willingness to endure trouble and even pain in order to look better. This willingness has enabled a $160 billion-a-year global industry to grow by providing cosmetics, skin and hair care products, fragrances, cosmetic surgery, health clubs, and diet pills.  The importance that people place on beauty is not merely vanity. Being physically attractive provides enormous advantages. Good-looking men and women are judged to be more intelligent. They also earn more, and are more likely to marry. But beauty matters most for reproductive success, especially for women. One study showed that men across 37 different cultures put a woman's physical attractiveness at the top or near the top of their lists of the important factors in their mating preferences. Is it any wonder then that Americans spend more each year on improving their appearance than on improving their minds?

Dog tags have been part of an American army soldier's standard equipment since 1906. Traditionally, a soldier's name, Social Security number, religion, and blood type were recorded on the dog tag. Now advances in technology may allow far more information to be carried on a dog tag. Leaders of the U.S. military have asked several companies to create a standard for a new version of the dog tag called a personal information carrier. Many say that smart cards, a technology that stores data on a credit card-sized device, will be the preferred choice, because the equipment for reading them is widely available and less expensive than competing solutions.  Whatever technology is eventually selected, personal information carriers will be used to store not only the information found on dog tags, but also a soldier's entire medical history, including X-rays, known allergies, electrocardiograms, and much more. In addition to durability and storage capacity, one of the most important concerns is that the information stored on the personal information carriers be kept private. Thus, the companies competing to win the bid to supply the new devices are focusing more attention on the use of encryption technology.  
  
7  What is the purpose of a dog tag?  A. To identify the pets of soldiers.  B. To provide information about a soldier.  C. To read smart cards used by the military.  D. To monitor the health condition of soldiers.  答案： B 你的答案：B  8  Which of the following statements describes the relationship between a dog tag and a personal information carrier?  A. They are different names for the same device.  B. A personal information carrier is a more advanced version of a dog tag.  C. A dog tag is a new, smaller version of the older personal information carrier.  D. A dog tag is a version of the personal information carrier with only non-personal information recorded on it.  答案： B 你的答案：C  
9  Which of the following would probably NOT be an advantage of choosing smart card technology for personal information carriers?  A. It would be less expensive.  B. It would be put to use more quickly.  C. It would limit the ability of the enemy to read information from them.  D. There would be more suppliers for reading devices.  答案： C 你的答案：C  10  Which of the following most likely describes an electrocardiogram?  A. It is an electronic record of e-mail that has been sent and received.  B. It is a test indicating the health of a person's heart.  C. It is an encrypted version of personal information.  D. It is a computer file that stores a person's medical history.  答案： B 你的答案：B  
11  Which of the following capabilities does encryption technology provide?  A. It protects against people changing the information on a smart card.  B. It protects against damage to the data on a smart card.  C. It protects against unauthorized access to the data on a smart card.  D. It protects against theft of the smart card.  答案： C 你的答案：C

The large-scale import of inexpensive wood carvings from China and Southeast Asia has made the lives of Taiwanese wood carvers more difficult. In Sanyi, the island's wood carving center, as much as 80 percent of the wood carvings offered for sale are imported. The majority of these are mass-manufactured items, including imitations of works by Taiwanese wood carving masters. Their low prices, and the confusion they cause among buyers, have made Taiwanese wood carvers suffer economically. To help consumers differentiate between true Taiwanese wood carvings hand-made by masters and the mass-produced versions on the market, a certification system was set up recently. Following the example of similar systems long used in Japan and South Korea, the certification aims to preserve the value of Taiwanese wood carvers' works. Once certified, a work can command a higher price, and also reassure the buyer of the authenticity of the work.  
  
14  According to the article, why are Taiwanese wood carvers suffering economically?  A. There are too many carvers in Taiwan, causing intense competition.  B. Imports from Japan and South Korea are taking market share away from local wood carvings.  C. The process of certification for their works is very difficult.  D. Cheap imports are depressing prices for wood carvings.  答案： D 你的答案：  15  What is the purpose of the certification system mentioned in the article?  A. To show that a wood carving was really made in Taiwan.  B. To show that a wood carving is priced properly.  C. To show that a wood carving is an original hand-made work and not an imitation.  D. To show that a wood carving is made of imported wood.  答案： C 你的答案：  
16  Why does the writer of the article believe that pieces by Taiwanese wood carving masters deserve a higher price?  A. They are more beautiful than pieces from China or Southeast Asia.  B. They are made of expensive woods.  C. The certification process costs the artists much money.  D. These masters create their works by hand.  答案： D 你的答案：

Archaeologists from all over the world are drawn to Easter Island by its mysterious statues. On average, each statue stands a little over four meters high and weighs 14 tons. All of the statues are almost identical in design, with a long head and ears, a large nose, thick lips, and a short torso with hands held across the belly.  The question that archaeologists have been trying to answer for many years is who built these statues and why. With the help of technological advances, they are closer than ever to some definite answers. Most anthropologists now agree that the statue builders originally came from Polynesia. An important part of the evidence for this claim is the result of DNA testing done on skeletons found on Easter Island. It showed a close genetic relationship between the former inhabitants of Easter Island and natives living in Polynesia today.  As for the reason why the Easter Islanders built the statues, this is more controversial. Some experts believe that they were an important part of religious life on the island. One clue is that nearly all the statues face away from the sea toward places where food was probably grown, leading to the conclusion that the statues might have been intended to bless crops that were being grown.  
  
19  Which of the following best describes the Easter Island statues?  A. They seem to have been built to protect people who were going out to sea.  B. They each seem to represent a different person.  C. They seem to have been brought somehow from Polynesia.  D. Experts have a better idea about who built the statues than why they were built.  答案： D 你的答案：C  20  What does the article imply?  A. The descendants of the builders of the statues on Easter Island moved to Polynesia.  B. The statues on Easter Island once faced the sea, but were turned away later.  C. When the statues were discovered, there was nobody living on Easter Island.  D. The design of the statues depicted the appearance of the people who built them.  答案： C 你的答案：B

Increasing numbers of farmers are choosing to plant genetically modified (GM) crops. Already, about half of all soybeans grown worldwide are genetically modified. Farmers like GM crops because they are less vulnerable to insects, thus saving on the cost of spraying with pesticides. In addition, new types of GM crops are being developed that provide higher levels of nutrients, making them a possible solution for cutting malnutrition in poorer countries. Still, polls suggest that many consumers around the world feel nervous about eating genetically modified foods. Environmental groups also continue to insist that GM foods are a health risk, though most scientists believe that GM products are safe to eat. Some governments are also trying to keep GM crops out of their countries with the idea that in the future there may be a market for fruit and vegetables from guaranteed GM-free countries.

Pottery is a popular handicraft that uses clay as its raw material. Clay is a type of earth with a distinctive sticky texture. The combination of its being easy to shape and its hardness after being subjected to high temperatures makes clay ideal for creating items such as cups and pots.  The potter makes a pottery item by molding clay into shape with the fingers. Sometimes, the potter may use a flat, round plate called a potter's wheel. A piece of clay is placed on it, and then the potter's wheel is spun around. As the wheel spins, the potter pulls the clay upwards into the desired shape. Once the item has been formed into a cup, pot, or other item, it is baked in a special oven called a kiln.

In the 1950s, there were three television networks in the United States. Television signals could only be received from locations that were in the "line of sight" of the transmitting antenna. Because of this, people living in remote areas, especially in mountainous regions, couldn't see the programs that were already becoming an important part of American culture.  Some residents of valleys in Pennsylvania solved their reception problems by putting antennas on hills and running cables to their houses. These days, this same type of technology allows viewers all over the country to access a wide variety of programs and channels that meet their individual needs and desires. By the early 1990s, cable television had reached nearly half the homes in the United States, a proportion that continued to rise. Today, U.S. cable systems deliver hundreds of channels to some 60 million homes, while also providing a growing number of people with high-speed Internet access.

The first thing you need to do is make sure that everyone has a copy of the documents that are going to be discussed at the meeting. Use your computer and find the directory called "Meetings" on the network. Inside that directory, you'll see a number of other directories arranged by date. Open the one labeled with the date of the meeting. All the files you need are in there. Just print them out and then photocopy everything. You'll need seven copies, one for each person at the meeting, and one extra just in case. Make sure you choose the collate function on the copier and then staple each complete set of copies together. When you're done, put them on the table in the meeting room.

Stem cells are a type of cell that form in the very early stages of embryonic development. They persist for a very short time and have a very unique feature--each one has the potential to develop into any type of cell found in an adult body. The type of cell an individual stem cell eventually develops into depends on the exact conditions that it is subjected to. This feature is what makes stem cells the subject of such intense research.

Waiting for a computer to turn on can be annoying. The main reason for the lag between the time you press the power switch on your PC and it's being ready to use is that data must be loaded into the computer's memory from its hard disk drive. To resolve this problem, several companies have been trying to develop computer memories that continue to store information even when power is shut off.  Several different technologies are competing to become the standard for such "non-volatile" memories. One of the newest is based on chips made with an unusual form of carbon, nanotubes. Nanotubes, cylindrical arrays of carbon atoms whose diameter is only about a billionth of a meter, can be used to store information. This information remains even when no power supplied, just like a hard disk drive, but can be read and written at speeds even faster than current memory chips. They thus may be used in PCs of the future that will turn on instantly.  
  
7  What does the article imply is the biggest shortcoming of current computer memories?  A. They do not continue to store information when the computer is turned off.  B. They do not transfer data as quickly as hard disk drives.  C. They cannot store as much data as hard disk drives.  D. They are expensive to manufacture.  答案： A 你的答案：A  8  What situation will be eliminated by the use of new computer memories being developed?  A. Loss of data from hard disk drive failures.  B. Long waits while computers start up.  C. The use of hard disk drives for storing data.  D. The use of nanotubes in computer designs.  答案： B 你的答案：B  
9  Which of the following statements does NOT describe nanotubes.  A. They are one of the forms in which carbon is found.  B. They are one of several types of materials that might be used in memory chips for PCs in the future.  C. They are the standard form for volatile memories.  D. They can be used to store data even when no power is supplied.  答案： C 你的答案：A    
 

American advertising companies and the media seem to have decided that using a little youthful slang is a good way to get people's attention. More and more lingo favored by kids on the streets, hip-hop clubs, and school hallways is being heard on TV broadcasts and commercials.  Some sportscasters have started describing impressive plays as "sick." Before that, one beer company's ads helped place make the greeting "Whassup" popular with not just kids but the entire population. But those are the rare cases that don't get a thumbs-down from the younger generation. More often, young people say adults shouldn't even try using their slang.  Kids use slang, experts say, to separate themselves from adults. So when adults use kids' slang, these expressions immediately lose their cool. Another problem is that the slang words that advertisers or the media choose are often out of date. Experts note that the key to winning over kids is understanding youth culture, and showing respect for it, rather than just using its language. If adults can do that, even the kids might agree it's "slammin'".

Old age used to be a time of poverty. When people could no longer work, they had to rely on their families to take care of them. Then, in the 1880s, Germany began to provide pensions to retired workers. At around the same time, some employers began to provide for their workers' retirement. Aging became less of a financial risk.  Now, however, old age is again becoming risky. As people in a country live longer and the proportion of people in the workforce declines, the cost of caring for the elderly becomes a growing burden. Many governments would like companies to carry more of that burden. Unfortunately, falling stock prices mean that many companies no longer have the financial resources they need to provide adequate pension plans for their employees.  
  
14  Where might this passage be found?  A. In a medical textbook.  B. In an elderly person's diary.  C. In a newspaper article about aging populations.  D. In a company's employee handbook.  答案： C 你的答案：C  15  Before the 1880s, why were old people generally poor?  A. Health care was expensive.  B. Pensions did not exist.  C. Families were not willing to care for elderly members.  D. The pensions provided by companies were not adequate.  答案： B 你的答案：D  
16  According to the article, what is the primary reason that old age is becoming financially risky again? A. Governments and companies are unwilling to provide pensions. B. Many companies do not have the financial resources to give their employees good enough pensions. C. The value of the stock that people own has dropped. D. People are retiring at an earlier age, leaving them with fewer savings. 答案： B 你的答案：C    
 

In recent years, many Taiwanese films have won awards at international film festivals. However, many theater owners don't consider even prize-winning Taiwanese films to have much commercial potential in their home market. Their viewpoint is generally confirmed by the largely empty seats at showings of locally produced movies.  The market share for local films is only about two percent, while more than 95 percent of the market is taken by Hollywood blockbusters. The dominance of American-made films in Taiwan has continued for the past ten years, but the government is proposing some solutions. It is hoped that some legal changes and few promotional projects will help Taiwan's struggling film industry.  One proposal is to give individuals or companies a tax deduction for money spent to produce a film. The idea is that the tax deduction would encourage investments in new films. There are also plans to provide financial support not only for film production, but also for marketing.

19  What does the passage imply is the main reason that Taiwanese films do not have a large local audience?  A. Taiwanese audiences dislike prize-winning films, thinking them "arty". B.

All right, today we are going to take a closer look at the diet of the average American citizen. Over the past few decades, the average weight of men and women in this country has increased by as much as twenty percent. The diet industry has made billions of dollars from people who have a dream of shedding their unwanted pounds. Sadly, these diets, like so many other attempts at losing weight, don't work for the average citizen. One of the most popular diets on the market is the Atkins Diet. This diet has been proven highly effective, but it does have its drawbacks. First and foremost, the diet eliminates an important food group. People on this diet get most of their calories from proteins, vegetables and some fruit. While the diet does work, it may not be for everyone. The best way of losing weight is to find what works best for you and stick to it. Losing weight and keeping it off is a lifetime commitment.  好的，今天我們要更加仔細來檢視一般美國人的飲食。過去這幾十年以來，美國男人和女人的平均體重已經增加了百分之二十之多。減肥食品工業也從夢想甩掉一身肥肉的人們身上賺進數十億美元。可悲的是，這些減肥食品就像許多其它減重的努力一樣，對一般民眾而言是沒有效的。市售最熱門的減肥食品之一就是『阿特金斯』減肥餐。這種減肥方式證實非常有效，不過也有其缺點。最為首要的是，這種減肥餐去除了一組重要的食物成分。使用這種減肥餐的人是從蛋白質和果蔬取得他們所需的大部分熱量。這種減肥方式也許可行但未必能適合每一個人。減重的最佳方式就是找到對你最有效的方法並一直堅持下去。減肥和避免肥胖可以說是一輩子要努力不懈的工作。 
  
12   What is the purpose of this talk? 這段談話的主要目的是什麼？ (A)To tell people that diets don't work for everyone. 要告訴人們減肥食品並非對每個人都有效。 (B)To help people put on weight. 要幫助人們增加體重。 (C)To show people the best way to exercise. 要向人們示範最佳的運動方式。 (D)To introduce the quickest way to lose weight. 要介紹最快速的減肥方法。 答案： A 你的答案：C  13   What has increased in the past few decades? 過去幾十年來什麼東西增加了？ (A)The amount of money spent on food. 花在食物上的金錢數目。 (B)The amount of food grown for Atkins. 為『阿特金斯』種植食物之數量。 (C)The average weight of the American people. 美國人的平均體重。 (D)The number of restaurants in America. 美國餐廳的數量。 答案： C 你的答案：C

1. The concert on Friday night was a disaster. I would rather ______ watching TV that night. 
 A.stayed home B.I had stayed C.to stay home D.to have stayed home 答案： B 你的答案：C 
 星期五晚上的演唱會爛透了。當晚我真希望待在家裏看電視就好了。 理由: 本題測試"I would rather + that子句"的假設語氣。 "I would rather"之後接that子句時, 等於"I wish"之後接that子句, 可分別表示與現在或過去事實相反的假設語氣。 1)與現在事實相反: that子句採過去式 (be動詞則一律採用were)。 例:I would rather (that) he can do it. (　) →I would rather (that) he could do it. (○) =I wish (that) he could do it.(真希望他現在能做這件事就好了。) I would rather (that) he is here. (　) →I would rather (that) he were here. (○) =I wish (that) he were here.(真希望他現在在這裏就好了。)  2)與過去事實相反: that子句採過去完成式。 例:I would rather (that) I saw him yesterday. (　) →I would rather (that) I had seen him yesterday. (○) =I wish (that) I had seen him yesterday.(真希望我昨天看到他就好了。)  本題句尾有that night (那天晚上), 故知空格內應置入過去完成式, 形成與過去事實相反的假設語氣。 I would rather (that) I had stayed home that night. =I wish (that) I had stayed home that night.  would rather亦可表『寧願』之後接原形動詞, 之後置入than, 再接原形動詞。 例:I would rather stay home than go out.(我寧願待在家裏，也不願出去。)  根據上述, (B)應為正選。would rather之後不得接不定詞片語, 故(C)、(D)不可選。若選(A), 則應採"would rather + 原形動詞 + than + 原形動詞"的句構, 故此處stayed為過去式不合語意及用法, 亦不可選。 
2. Be a man ______ rich, he ought not to be idle. 
 A.however B.whatever C.ever so D.even so 答案： C 你的答案：C 
 一個人無論多有錢，都不應懶散。  理由: 本題測試"no matter how + adj."的句構變化。 no matter how + adj. + S + be, S + V　　不論多麼地…… No matter how nice he is, I don't like him. =However nice he is, I don't like him. =Be he ever so nice, I don't like him. 不論他有多好，我都不喜歡他。  本文: No matter how rich a man is, he ought not to be idle. =However rich a man is, he ought not to be idle. =Be a man ever so rich, he ought not to be idle. 一個人無論多有錢, 都不應懶散。  根據上述, (C)應為正選。

Furthermore, seat belts are extremely effective in rollover collisions. They're more effective in preventing deaths and injuries in this situation than in any other kind of accident.

(　)(他教過的學生有好幾千人，其中一些已成了知名的科學家。) 上例有兩個句子: "He has taught..."及"some of them have become..."。此兩句無連接詞連接, 補救之道: 1)置入連接詞或分號 He has taught thousands of students, and some of them have become famous scientists. (○) 或He has taught thousands of students; some of them have become famous scientists. (○)  2)採用『數詞 + of + whom/which』, 以引導形容詞子句 He has taugt thousands of students, some of whom have become famous scientists. (○)  根據上述, (B)應為正選。  (A)項已有連接詞, 故應改為: but many of them are  (D)項無連接詞, 故應改為: ; many of them are

In ancient times wealth was measured and exchanged tangibly, in things that could be touched: food, tools, and precious metals and stones. This was called the barter system. Then the system was _(1)_ by coins, _(2)_ still had real value since they were pieces of rare metal. Coins were followed by flat money, paper notes that have value only because everyone agrees to _(3)_ them. Only decades ago, plastic money came into _(4)_. Credit cards have _(5)_ found more and more users. The sway of plastic money has not abated, still going strong.Today electronic monetary systems are gradually being _(6)_. It will _(7)_ money into even less tangible forms, reducing it to arrays of "bits and bytes," or units of computerized information, whizzing between machines at the speed of light. Already, electronic fund transfer allows money _(8)_ and received by different banks, companies, and countries through computers and telecommunications devices.  在古代，財富的衡量和交換都是以能夠觸摸到的方式來進行，即是以食物、工具和貴重的金屬或石頭等可以直接接觸的東西來進行。這就叫做『以物易物』。接著這種制度便被硬幣取代。當時的硬幣仍有其實際價值，因為它們都是一枚枚的稀有金屬。金屬硬幣接著就被平面貨幣取代，這就是大家都同意接受其價值的紙幣。  就在幾十年前塑膠貨幣才應運而生。從此使用信用卡的人便愈來愈多。至今塑膠貨幣的影響力仍不稍減，而且還很強勢呢。今天電子貨幣系統逐漸被引進，它把貨幣轉變成更不能觸摸的形式。也就是把貨幣縮減成『位元和位元組』或電腦化的資訊單位，在機器與機器之間咻地一聲以光速進行著。電子轉帳系統早已讓不同的銀行、公司和國家透過電腦和電傳設備立刻發送和收受金錢了。

(塑膠錢幣問世才幾十年前的事。), 空格前亦有完成式助動詞,故空格內應置入since, "have since found more and more users"表『從此之後就發現了愈來愈多的使用者』, 合乎文法及語意, 故(A)應為正選。 答案： A 你的答案：B  6  (A) deformed (B) denounced (C) seduced (D) introduced  理由: (A)deform vt. 使變形 例:His face was deformed when it was hit by the car.(車子撞到他的臉，整個臉都變形了。)  (B)denounce vt. 斥責 denounce one's plan as useless　　將某人的計劃斥為無用  (C)seduce vt. 勾引 (D)introduce vt. 引進 答案： D 你的答案：B

People's reactions to pain vary. Different people have different _(9)_ levels. What seems intolerable to one person may not bother _(10)_, even though both feel pain. And while pain causes anguish, depression, nausea, and tears in some people, others exhibit no such effects. Even in the same person, tolerance of pain may vary _(11)_ circumstances and psychological states. If you should stub your toe _(12)_ running from a fierce dog or an armed robber, it probably would not hurt at all. In hospitals, medical personnel have discovered that preoperative psychological preparation seems to help _(13)_ postoperative pain: patients who are told in advance how much pain to expect and just how they are likely to feel for how long, generally _(14)_ fewer painkillers after surgery than do unprepared patients. Therefore, the _(15)_ of any physical pain is more or less determined by psychological factors.  人們對於疼痛的反應不一。不同的人擁有不同的忍受程度。某一個人無法忍受的事物也許讓另一個人不十分在意，即使兩個人都有疼痛的感覺。疼痛在某些人身上造成極大的痛苦、憂鬱、噁心、以及掉眼淚的現象，不過對其他人而言卻不造成影響。甚至在同一個人身上，忍受痛苦的程度也會隨著環境和心理狀態的變化而不同。當你為走避一隻惡犬或一名持刀槍的搶匪而逃跑時，假如你撞到大拇指，很可能一點也不覺得痛。在醫院，醫療人員發現開刀前的心理準備似乎對於減少開刀後的疼痛有所幫助。如果事先告知病人要預期多少程度的痛苦以及他們的痛苦感覺可能要持續多久，一般來說這樣的病人在開完刀之後比那些心裡沒有準備的病人較少依賴止痛藥。因此，身體任何疼痛的強度或多或少受到心理因素所支配。

If you will follow me, I will show you the gallery on the second floor. In this section, you will see the works of some of the finest painters of the 19th and 20th centuries. This collection is one of the finest in the country. Over the years, we have been able to display the works of Gaugain, Cezanne, and Picasso. A local entrepreneur funded the building of this area. After the death of his beloved wife, he wanted to build something that would show his love for her. His wife had been a collector of fine art in her life and many of the works on display are from her collection. One of the finest pieces from her collection is this painting. It shows a young woman holding her newborn baby. The subjects of the painting are the wife and the child of the artist. Sadly, shortly after this painting was completed, the wife and the child died of a fever that swept through the country. Now, the next portrait is an example of some of Gaugain's finest works.  請跟著我來，我將帶領各位參觀二樓的畫廊。在這一區各位可以看到十九及二十世紀最出色畫家的作品。這裡的收藏是全國數一數二的作品。多年來我們有能展出高更、塞尚及畢卡索的作品。本地有一名大企業家提供資金成立這塊畫廊園地。在他的愛妻過世後，他一直想成立點什麼東西來表示他對她的愛。他的妻子生前是一位美術收藏家，這裡有很多展覽品都在她的收藏之列。其中最好的一件就是這幅畫。畫中顯示一位抱著新生兒的年輕婦人。畫中的主題即是這位藝術家的妻子與小孩。令人感傷的是，在這幅畫完成不久之後，母親和小孩就死於流行於全國的熱病。接著請看下一幅畫像，這是高更的最佳代表作之一。

As president of this company, I have come to the understanding that we are having problems with our staff. I've discussed these issues with the manager and we have hopefully found a solution. Our biggest problem is keeping the staff that we already have. We've no-ticed that after several months, many of the newer members of our team go on to other companies. To stop employees from leaving, we will from this day on give all employees who stay over one year a five percent raise. We hope that this measure will keep valuable members of our company with us. Secondly, We will also be holding company events such as picnics and trips. These two activities will hopefully make all employees happy and make them feel as if they are members of one big happy family.  身為本公司董事長，我瞭解我們目前有一些員工方面的問題。就這些問題而言，本人已經和經理討論過。還好已經找到一條解決之道。如何留住現有的員工是我們公司最大的問題。許多新進的同仁待不到幾個月就跳槽，這個現象我們也都注意到。為了留住員工，自即日起凡在本公司工作一年以上的同仁一律加薪百分之五，我們也希望這個措施能夠留住優秀的員工。我們也將舉辦公司的團體活動，例如野餐或旅遊。希望這兩項舉動能讓員工們心情愉快並使大家覺得像是一個快樂大家庭中的成員。

Tom, you have to understand that your little brother looks up to you. If he sees that you don't study, he won't want to study, either. You're my son and I want you to have a good future.

答案： A 你的答案：A
 約翰的奶奶並不贊同他隻身前往日本做畢業旅行。

理由:
that子句無法直接做介詞的受詞。
I'm worried about that he fools around all day. (　)

that子句須變成動名詞片語方可作介詞受詞, 原則如下:
1)刪除that

3)動詞變成動名詞

故:
I'm worried about that he fools around all day.
his fooling
→I'm worried about his fooling around all day. (○) (他整天混，令我擔心。)

本文:
John's grandmother did not approve of that he goes to Japan...

理由:
...because its hardness is greater than that of glass.
=...because its hardness is greater than the hardness of glass. (……因為它的硬度比玻璃的硬度高。)

比較句構中, 比較對象要一致。為避免名詞重複, 單數名詞或不可數名詞改用that, 複數名詞則改用those。
例:Students of this school study harder than students of that school. (劣)
複數名詞 重複
→Students of this school study harder than those of that school. (佳) (這所學校的學生比那所用功。)

The color of your car is darker than the color of mine. (劣)
單數名詞 重複
→The color of your car is darker than that of mine. (佳) (你車子的顏色比我車子深。)
