Passage 1
A Strange Day
Yesterday was a strange day for me. I only ate one egg for breakfast. In the morning I was very (11) because I could not find my English book. My mother helped me look for it, and I felt a little better. At school, my teacher gave back our tests. I was (12) when I saw my grade. It was much higher than last time! In the evening, my father came home with a (13) for me. It was a new basketball. Now I feel (14) again. Even a bad morning can have a (15) end.
📖 看全文中譯 全文中譯 昨天對我來說是很奇怪的一天。早餐我只吃了一顆蛋。早上我很生氣，因為我找不到英文課本。媽媽幫我一起找，我才覺得好一點。到學校後，老師發回我們的考卷。看到成績的時候我好興奮。分數比上次高很多！傍晚爸爸帶了一個驚喜回家給我。那是一顆新的籃球。現在我又覺得快樂了。就算早上很糟，一天還是可以有美好的結尾。
Questions 11–15
11
A humorous
B sleepy
C pleased
D angry
💡 看解析與中譯 ✔ 正確答案：(D) angry
解析 找不到課本會讓人「生氣 angry」，後面說媽媽幫忙後才覺得好一點。pleased 滿意的正好相反，sleepy 想睡的、humorous 幽默的都不合。
12
A afraid
B excited
C sad
D nervous
💡 看解析與中譯 ✔ 正確答案：(B) excited
解析 下一句說分數比上次高很多，所以看到成績時是「興奮的 excited」。afraid 害怕、nervous 緊張、sad 難過都和好成績不合。
13
A surprise
B stress
C emotion
D shock
💡 看解析與中譯 ✔ 正確答案：(A) surprise
解析 爸爸帶回來的是一顆新籃球，這是好事，所以是「驚喜 surprise」。shock 是驚嚇、stress 是壓力、emotion 是情緒，都不能當禮物。
14
💡 看解析與中譯 ✔ 正確答案：(A) happy
解析 考得好又收到禮物，心情當然是「快樂 happy」。blue 在這裡是憂鬱、mad 生氣、nervous 緊張都相反。
15
A blue
B angry
C bright
D afraid
💡 看解析與中譯 ✔ 正確答案：(C) bright
解析 全文說糟糕的早上最後變好，所以結尾是「美好、光明的 bright」。blue 憂鬱、angry 生氣、afraid 害怕都與結局不合。
Passage 2
Speaking in Front of a Class
Many teenagers feel (16) when they have to speak in front of the class. Their hands shake and their faces turn red. This (17) is very common, and it is not a problem. Teachers say the best way is to prepare well. Practice at home ten times, and your (18) will get smaller. Look at your friends and take a deep breath. After the speech, most students feel (19) with themselves. Some of them are even (20) to try again.
📖 看全文中譯 全文中譯 許多青少年在全班面前說話時會覺得緊張。他們的手會發抖，臉會變紅。這種感覺很常見，並不是問題。老師說最好的方法就是好好準備。在家練習十次，你的恐懼就會變小。看著你的朋友，深深吸一口氣。演講結束後，大部分的學生都對自己感到滿意。有些人甚至興奮地想再試一次。
Questions 16–20
16
A yummy
B pleased
C sleepy
D nervous
💡 看解析與中譯 ✔ 正確答案：(D) nervous
解析 下一句說手發抖、臉變紅，正是「緊張 nervous」的樣子。pleased 滿意、sleepy 想睡、yummy 美味都不合。
17
A list
B feeling
C hobby
D basket
💡 看解析與中譯 ✔ 正確答案：(B) feeling
解析 This ____ 指的是前面描述的緊張狀態，也就是一種「感覺 feeling」。hobby 嗜好、list 名單、basket 籃子都不是心情。
18
💡 看解析與中譯 ✔ 正確答案：(C) fear
解析 練習可以讓上台的「恐懼 fear」變小。anger 是憤怒，和上台緊張無關；hobby 嗜好、copy 副本都不合。
19
A frightened
B sad
C angry
D satisfied
💡 看解析與中譯 ✔ 正確答案：(D) satisfied
解析 be satisfied with oneself 是「對自己感到滿意」，講完話後的正面感受。frightened 驚恐、angry 生氣、sad 難過都是負面的。
20
💡 看解析與中譯 ✔ 正確答案：(A) excited
解析 even（甚至）表示更進一步，想再試一次的是「興奮的 excited」。afraid 害怕就不會想再試，mad 生氣、deaf 聾的都不合。
