金的地區竟然就是開始造成金融風暴的地區—美國) 
∴答案是(D) perversely    adv.  倔強地;誇張地 
[速解:per = through (徹底) + vers = turn (彎)] 

二、同義字選擇  (11~20 題) 

※本大題有些字相當難(同學也罕見這些字),如第 11 題 oscillates;第 12 題 facet;第

13 題 chronicled;第 19 題 docile;但老師在課堂上大都有教到,不致於找不到正解。 

11.  ∵題目:fluctuate    v.  波動  [∵flu = flow (流動)] 

∴答案是  (C) oscillate = vacillate    v.  振盪;變動 

[速解:  -os = mouth (口,洞)

即為〝振盪;變動〞之意]

※此點老師在課堂上經常強調 

15.  ∵題目:remarkable    a.  引人注目的;不平常的 

∵re = repeat (一直) + mark (做記號) 
∴答案是:(C) extraordinary    a.  不平常的 
[速解:  extra = out (外;超) + ordi = order (正常)] 

16.  ∵題目:hazardons    a.  危險的 

[∵ lizard〝蜥蜴〞

; wizard〝巫師〞皆危險之物

3  - 3 

〝四周〞充滿〝邪惡〞

〝危險〞了]

[速解:auto =  自已  + mob = move (動)]

〝忽略〞之意] 

19.  ∵題目:docile a.聽話的  [∵  -doc = teach (教) + -ile = easy (容易)]

[速解:submissive  之動詞為 submit 〝順從〞之意 
∵-sub = down + mit (throw) 

 throw down 〝趴在地上〞即為〝順從〞之意] 

20.  ∵題目:chicken feed  本意為〝小雞飼料〞引申為少量;零頭 

∴答案是:  (A) very little   

三、文法  (21~30 題) 

※本大題除第 28 題和第 30 題考片語外,其餘皆考簡單文法,老師在課堂上完全講

授過,同學應可全部得分。 

21.本題考〈比較級〉

,不用看題目,只要檢視四個選項即可得解 

(1) than  代表比較∴需用比較級 worse  

(2)修飾比較級 worse  需用 much 

∴答案選  (D) much worse than   

22.  本題考〈stop + V-ing (停止做~)  〉 

∴得答案  (D) stop communicating   

23.  本題考〈時式〉

,即 If (假如) +  現在式 V  ,S +  未來式 V 

∴得答案 (D) is transferred (以現在式代未來式) 

24.  本題考〈

〝對稱〞結構〉 

∵題目有〝對等連接詞〞and 
∴  to drink, to grow  …  , and                  . 

  空格必為 to + V 

  得答案為  (B) to make  … 

25.  本題考〈

〝倒裝〞結構〉 

∵地方  (方向)副詞在句首 

  主詞動詞需倒裝 

而題目之句首 Away from…即為〝地方副詞〞 
∴答案只能選倒裝句之 (A) was she led to 

26.  本題亦考〈

〝對稱〞結構〉/與第 24 題同: 

∵四選項皆有對等連接詞 and ∴答案只能選(B) 
才能得到完全對稱的結構,即  smaller scars, less pain, and shorter hospital stays. 
(其中 smaller, less 及 shorter  皆為比較級)

3  - 4 

27.  本題考〈助動詞的特殊時式〉

,即助動詞 must (一定)的過去式必需用〝must + have 

+V-p.p  〞之型式來表達   
∴答案選  (B) must have dropped (必定已經掉在某處了)                                                               

28.  本題考〈片語〉

: have/get a crush on + (人)  /表示〝迷戀〞或〝深愛〞某人。 

∴答案是(A)  

29.  本題考〈連接詞〉 

(1)∵題目有兩句子  ∴答案不可選非連接詞的 (D)  

(2)此兩句前句有 warm(溫暖)  和 sunny (晴天);而後句有 cold (冷)  和 grey  

(陰雨天)  ∴推知連接詞為“反意” 
故選(C)答案 

30.  本題考相當罕見的〈片語〉

,故一般同學很難答對。 

∵stand up  一般意指〝站起來〞,為不及物動詞片語(無被動) 
唯本題為另一〝及物〞之意  ——  使(人)白等,因而有  “被動” 
故答案選(C) Have you ever been stood up  …? 
(你曾經被〝空等〞而不赴約嗎?) 

四、短文閱讀  (31~50 題) 

※四篇閱讀所考題型,皆在老師「題庫班」所分析的範圍中,其中每篇皆考〝主旨〞,

此趨勢老師一直強調: 

() Passage#1 

31.  本題考〈代名詞〉

,〝it〞指  TOE – Theory of Everything  即文章 L1~2: 

to describe all  … in one …  set of eguations.

32.  本題考〈字義〉

,invent  乃〝發明〞之意 

∴答案選 (B) originate〝創始;新創〞之意

即本題問:作者為何要提到 Einstein  ,其目的為何? 

答案在第 2 行:  But it is so difficult that Einstein  … 

∴答案選 (C )  [∵difficult = not  … easy] 

34.  本題考〈數字〉 

∵選項中(D)  有數字〝10〞

  可能是答案 

  需先看 

答案在第 8 行:  …  except that the strings exist in a strange 10-dimensional universe.    
故(D)為正解 

35.  本題考〈因果〉

,關鍵字是〝because〞 

題目:Why many young theorists are eager to study the math of superstring theories ?

∴答案是  (A) nom de plume [∵-nom- / = name(名)] 

40.  本題考〈數字〉

,關鍵字〝How many  …?〞 

(Orwell  的小說本文中提到幾本?)

∵在本文第 2 行:…  salt marshes alone produce more green material  … than the 
best-managed farms  顯然與 (A) 之敘述不符。

四、短文閱讀測驗(31~50題)  

Passage#1 

Physicists jokingly call it the TOE—Theory of Everything. The idea is to describe all matter, all 

energy, and the fundamental forces of nature in one clean, simple set of equations. But it is so difficult 
that Einstein spent his last years in frustration trying to come up with just a partial solution to the problem. 
Yet physicists now think they are finally on the right track with something called superstring theory; 
many young theorists are eager to study the mathematics of superstring theories, convinced that it is the 
path to ultimate truth. Their enthusiasm is largely the result of the work of Edward Witten, a professor at 
the Institute for Advance Study at Princeton University. Witten did not invent superstring theory, which 
says that the basic building blocks of nature are not tiny particles but extremely small loops and pieces of 
what resemble strings—except that the strings exist in a strange 10-dimensional universe. The current 
version of the superstring theory took place in the late 1960s, when Witten was still an undergraduate 
student at Barndeis. By the mid-1980s, however, when Witten began devoting his attention to superstrings, 
he was widely regarded as the most talented physicist in the world and perhaps the greatest who ever 
lived.  

(D) 31. The word “it” in the first line refers to _____.   

(A) all sciences   

 

(B) the representative theory of physics   

(C) to understand what Einstein found out   

(D) to describe everything in one set of equations   

(B) 32. The word “invent” is closest in meaning to _____.   

(A) imitate   

(B) originate   

(C) duplicate   

(D) steal   

(C) 33. Why does the author mention Einstein?   

(A) To disclose how he spent his last years.   

 

(B) To state that he also jokingly called it the TOE.

Passage#3  

Biologists recognize how necessary wetlands are to the balance of life. First, they contain an 

astonishing number of producers, forming the base of a complex food web. Salt marshes alone produce 
more green material per hectare than the best-managed farms. Second, migratory birds need wetlands for 
breeding and resting areas along their flyways. Third, a wide variety of wetlands are necessary for many 
species of waterfowls to survive. Fourth, more wetland species are endangered or threatened than any 
others. Just one example is the whooping crane. Overhunting and loss of wetland habitat have severely 
reduced the numbers of this species. Fifth, salt marshes are the nurseries and farms of the ocean. Ocean 
food webs begin in salt marshes where outgoing tides carry bits of living and dead material from the 
marshes into the ocean. This “tidal soup” feeds many of the ocean animals. Sixth, most fish and shellfish 
that people eat live in wetlands when young. Shrimp, salmon, oysters, crabs, flounders, and clams depend 
on the salt marshes for food and shelter. They are born in marshes and may live there for a good part of 
their lives.   

(B) 41. What have caused the whooping crane to dwindle in number?   

(A) Overuse of DDT on agricultural crops.   

(B) Loss of wetland habitat.   

(C) Overuse of pesticides. 

(D) Competition among species.   

(A) 42. Based on the passage, which of the following species is common to wetlands?   

(A) Geese.  

(B) Penguins.  

(C) Whales.  

(D) Wolves.  

(D) 43. Where do ocean food webs begin?   

(A) Freshwater marshes. (B) Tidal waves.   

(C) Rocky beaches.   

(D) Salt marshes.   

(C) 44. What is the purpose of the passage? 

(A) To tell why wetlands are salty.   

(B) To tell where migratory birds reproduce.   

(C) To specify the value of wetlands.   

(D) To indicate where fish and shellfish live.   

(A) 45. Which of the following statements is not true?   

(A) The best-managed farms produce more green material than salt marshes.   
(B) Wetlands balance life.   
(C) Fish and shellfish live in wetlands when young.   
(D) Salt marshes are the nurseries and farms of the ocean. 

Passage#4  

Colin Benton died after receiving a kidney transplant at a private London hospital. Several months 

later, however, his case made headlines throughout Britain when his widow disclosed that her husband’s 
kidney transplant had come from a Turkish citizen who was paid $3,300 to fly to Britain and donate the 
organ. The donor said he had decided to sell his kidney to pay for medical treatment for his daughter. 
Concern in Britain over issues raised in the case resulted in a law passed on July 28, 1989, in Parliament 
banning the sale of human organ transplant.
