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.

After two hours, an earthquake took place.(約翰十點到。兩個鐘頭後，地震發生了。) 但與later並用時則不受此限。 It's ten o'clock now. John will arrive two hours later. (○) John arrived at 10. Two hours later, an earthquake took place. (○) 根據上述, (B)應為正選。

(○) (他比你用功。) 本文: ...southern Taiwan receives less rain than northern Taiwan (does). =...southern Taiwan receives less rain than does northern Taiwan. as...as... 和……一樣地……(亦可採倒裝句構) 例:He is as handsome as your (are). =He is as handsome as are you.
