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。

I feel that you spend far too much time playing video games and going out with your friends. From now on, you are to be home by five o'clock and stay in your room studying. You are not allowed to go out with your friends except on Saturdays. Your father and I will be looking over your homework every night. 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. The only way for you to do that is to hit the books and get serious about your studies.  我真的對你考試成績感到失望。我瞭解你在過去幾個星期也曾用功準備，但我認為你的努力不夠。我覺得你花太多時間在電玩以及跟朋友廝混。從今以後你一定要在（下午）五點鐘以前回到家，然後就待在房間讀書。除了星期六之外，不准跟朋友外出。你老爸和我每晚都要檢查你的家庭作業。湯姆，你必須瞭解，你的弟弟可是唯你馬首是瞻。如果他看到你不讀書，他也會不想讀。唯一可行的辦法就是你要K書認真向學。

 A.his going
B.he went
C.he would go

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. (　)
介

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
2)主詞變成所有格 (如he→his; John→John's)
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...
his going to Japan...

 侯選人還在滔滔不絕，即使幾乎沒什麼人留下來，只除了幾名幕僚人員忙著做清理工作。

理由:
hardly是副詞, 表『幾乎不』, 等於almost not, 之後不可置no, 而應置any, 以免形成雙重否定。
例:He can hardly do nothing. (　)
→He can hardly do anything. (○)
(= He can almost not do anything.) (他幾乎什麼事都不會做。)

根據上述, (C)應為正選。

B.those of glass
C.glass
D.those of the glass
答案： A 你的答案：D
 大部份的腕錶都使用水晶石英做錶面，因為它的硬度要比玻璃的硬度高。

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。)

本題的hardness是不可數名詞, 表『硬度』, 故為避免重複, 原來的than the hardness of glass應改為than that of glass, 因此(A)項應為正選。

理由:

The name Nebraska comes from the Oto Indian word "nebrathka," which means flat water.此時可將關係代名詞which刪除, 之後的動詞means變成現在分詞meaning即告完成:

The outcome, however, is ______ to be seen, ______ from the fact that SARS is getting increasingly rampant across the world.  世界衛生組織（WHO）向加拿大最大的城市多倫多發出旅遊警告時，加拿大人非常震怒。加拿大可以說是除了亞洲以外飽受SARS最嚴重打擊的國家。SARS代表嚴重急性呼吸道症候群。一般相信它起源於中國大陸。不過它現已擴散到全球的大小城市。對於極度依賴觀光業的多倫多而言，這真是非常嚴重的打擊。事實上，某投資公司就曾估計，由於流失的觀光業，多倫多每一季恐怕會損失高達廿五億美元的利益。多倫多市長鄭重表示：『我一輩子沒有這樣生氣過。』為了破招反擊，多倫多正投入一千一百萬美元來做廣告宣傳活動，其目的就是要找回流失的觀光客，讓他們再回到這塊以空氣清淨聞名的地方。不過，從SARS疫情猖獗在全球持續發燒的事實來研判，其結果如何仍有待察。
