試題評析
江瀚老師試題評析
壹、 綜合評析
本(101)年度私醫英文考題題型，相對於 100 年，字彙題不變，維持 10 題。片語題未
考。文法亦維持 10 題。克漏字由 2 篇改為 3 篇，但一樣維持是 10 題。閱讀測驗也還
是 4 篇 20 題。整體而言，今年考題題型與去年相同，但考題難度比去年而言稍微簡
單了一些些。
貳、 各類題型分析
一、
【字彙】
字彙題題數雖維持 10 題，難度屬於中間程度考題；另克漏字綜合測驗和去年一
樣 10 題中有 7 題是考字彙，所以今年的字彙題比較趨近於 98 年的 20 題及 97 年
的 15 題，可以預見字彙實際考題將固定於 15 至 20 題之間。
二、
【片語】
片語題型未考，則與歷屆考題相近。(事實上近年來僅有 99 年專門出了片語題型
5 題)
三、
【語法與用法】
文法部分重點題型，歷屆考題多著重於動詞之特性、動狀詞、句子結構、子句、
與特殊句型。99 年著重於特殊句型(假設句、比較句及倒裝句)5 題、副詞子句與
對等句 3 題、動詞時態 2 題、動狀詞 2 題；100 年著重在子句（分詞構句 2、形
容詞子句 2）4 題、句子結構 3 題、動狀詞 2 題及假設句 1 題；克漏字 2 題文法(副
詞子句、動詞時態)。今年則有子句 4 題（形容詞子句 3 題、名詞子句 1 題）4 題、
對等連接詞 1 題、補述的同位語 1 題、特殊句型 2 題(比較句及必考的假設句各 1
題)，特別的是，竟然考了 1 題否定問句；克漏字僅考 1 題文法(動名詞)。綜言之，
私醫的文法考題重點一直都是蠻固定，可以輕易掌握的。
四、
【克漏字綜合測驗】
今年的克漏字考了 7 題字彙、1 題文法、1 題片語及 1 題介係詞。與 100 年題型
幾乎相同。(98 年、99 年未考克漏字綜合測驗)
五、
【閱讀測驗】
今年閱讀測驗有 4 篇，共 20 題，其中僅 1 篇與醫學相關、1 篇保險產業、1 篇環
保及 1 篇地理自然。但請注意歷屆考題並非必然考與醫學相關之閱讀測驗。

You needn＇t have tried aromatherapy to understand the therapeutic powers of essential oils. These
magical liquids, 26 from a range of aromatic plants, offer a truly holistic therapy, because they work on

rituals that are thousands of years old. Hippocrates claimed that the secret of health was an aromatic bath and a
scented massage every day. Cleopatra often took a jasmine bath, while other Egyptians blended oils to use as
medicines. In Shakespearean Britain, women spread rosemary and lavender on floors to 28 and purify
rooms. Now it has been shown in various scientific studies that many of these essential oils have powerful

四、閱讀測驗
(31~50 題，根據文章內容選出最適當的選項)
Passage #1
Up until now, the U.S. insurance industry has achieved growth simply by focusing on the large domestic
market. However, a continued growth in the coming years will likely require an expansion to international
business. In the next decade, we should see a number of changes in the structure and operations of life and
property insurers in particular. The domestic market may be slowing down. However, with world markets
continuing to open up, there are increased market opportunities for U.S. companies overseas. Already enjoying
a solid international reputation, the U.S. insurance industry should be in a good position to gain a competitive
advantage over foreign rivals. More advanced technological developments should also lead to increased
efficiency and productivity throughout the industry. In summary, new products, reduced costs, and a focus on
international market will lead to a more competitive U.S. insurance industry. This should spell good news for
both insurers and customers alike.

Passage #2
Mesopotamia, meaning “land between the rivers,＂ is widely considered to be the cradle of civilization.
It was here, in 5000 B.C., that people settled into an agricultural lifestyle by the mighty Tigris and Euphrates
rivers. Because there was little rain, the people depended on these rivers for their survival. The Mesopotamians
created channels to distribute the flood waters that flowed for a short duration each year to their crops. The

efficiency of their irrigation systems allowed their society to flourish, enabling them to create the world＇s first
towns and cities. At the center of each town stood a temple complex with food stores, a treasury, and living
spaces, all of which were incorporated into the overall design. Over time, these towns evolved into city-states,
eventually becoming an empire.
Soon there arose a need to keep reliable records of commodities traded, and out of this need, writing was
born. The first format that writing took was a code of symbols which corresponded to various items and
numbers. These were carved into soft clay and were known as cuneiform. This system proved to be very
versatile and quickly spread to other uses. The Sumerian scribes used it to record daily life and to write the first
major literary work known to Western civilization. Perhaps the best known of Mesopotamia＇s civilizations
was Babylon. During the second millennium B.C., it rose from a regional capital to become the center of a
kingdom that stretched across southern Iraq and beyond. Its king, Hammurabi, left his mark with a remarkable
collection of laws. Hammurabi＇s code defined the constraints of private property, as well as legal decisions for
crimes, and family disputes.
Although it was eventually lost to the sands of time, Mesopotamia left a legacy of law, literature, and
engineering for modern civilizations to build on. In fact, much of what we know of that chapter in the region＇s
history has come from excavations of ruined cities, supplemented by translations of ancient clay tablets.

Passage #3
Around the turn of the 20th century, the German physician Alois Alzheimer (1864-1915) described a
debilitating brain cell disease. This disease, later to bear his name, was both progressive and irreversible; that is,
once the disease started, it slowly destroyed brain tissue and made its victims progressively unable to remember
dates or even recognize family members. In the worst cases, patients were little better than vegetables.
The number of those suffering from Alzheimer＇s disease increases because people are living longer. As
many as a quarter of those aged 80 years or older are afflicted with some degree of this life-robbing disease.
Four million Americans suffer from this disease.
A new study shows, however, that fish in the diet may prevent or at least slow down the onset of this
terrible disease. Those who eat fish may have a reduction in the risk of developing Alzheimer ｀s disease. The
study shows that fish contains a fatty acid called omega-3, closely associated with brain tissue health.
