解析「已經 already」放在 have 和過去分詞中間,表示事情做完了。badly 差地、anyway 無論如何、never 從未都不合句意。
單字already 已經、badly 差地、嚴重地、anyway 無論如何
9We used a to find my uncle's new house.
Ablouse
Bhen
Cstep
Dmap
✔ 正確答案:(D) map
中譯我們用地圖找到了我叔叔的新家。
解析找路要用「地圖 map」。blouse 女襯衫、hen 母雞、step 步伐都不能用來找路。
單字map 地圖、blouse 女襯衫、step 步伐
10My sister had a to meet the actress last week.
Asuccess
Bruin
Cchance
Dpattern
✔ 正確答案:(C) chance
中譯我姊姊上星期有機會見到那位女演員。
解析have a chance to V 是「有機會做某事」的固定用法。success 成功、ruin 毀壞、pattern 樣式都不能這樣接。
單字chance 機會、success 成功、ruin 毀壞;廢墟

Passage 1
A Surprise for Mother
Next Sunday is Mother's Day, and my brother and I want to give our mother a surprise (11) she works so hard for our family. Last night, while she was washing the dishes, we had a good (12): we would cook dinner for her ourselves! My brother will make spaghetti, and I will bake the apple pie that she likes best. (13) So yesterday we asked Grandmother, who used to own a small restaurant, to teach us, and she showed us every step slowly. On Sunday morning we will shop at the market, and then we will cook while Mother visits her sister. (14), we will put the food on the table and wish her a happy Mother's Day.
解析文中依序說 On Sunday morning(先去市場)、then(接著煮菜),最後一步要用 Finally。At first 指「一開始」、However 表轉折、For example 表舉例,都不合這個順序。
Passage 2
Grandfather's Farm
My grandfather was a farmer for most of his life, and he still keeps a cow, two lambs, and fourteen hens on his small farm. Every summer eight of us visit him, and we eat lunch under the apple trees that he planted when he was young. He has three granddaughters, but I am his only (15). My cousin Amy, (16) lives in a big city, had never seen a real cow before. (17), she was so afraid of the animals that she stayed inside the house. But by the end of the week, she was feeding the lambs with a bottle. On the last night, Grandfather looked around the table at all of us and smiled. (18)
解析「他有三個孫女,但我是他唯一的_」,用 but 表示和孫女相對,要選「孫子 grandson」。granddaughter 會變成「有三個孫女,但我是唯一的孫女」,自相矛盾;daughter 女兒、actress 女演員都與祖孫關係不合。
16
Awhich
Bwho
Cwhen
Dwhere
✔ 正確答案:(B) who
解析先行詞是人(my cousin Amy),空格後缺主詞(___ lives in a big city),要用關係代名詞 who。which 用於事物;where、when 後面要接完整句子。
17
AAfter that
BFinally
CFor example
DAt first
✔ 正確答案:(D) At first
解析後一句說「但到了那個星期結束時,她已經會餵小羊」,可見空格這句是她「一開始」的狀況,用 At first 與 But by the end of the week 前後呼應。After that 與 Finally 都表示「之後/最後」,但前一句只是背景(從沒看過牛),不是先發生的事件;For example 表舉例,也不合。
18
AHe said that he never wanted to see us again.
BHe went to bed early without dinner.
CHe was angry because we were too loud.
DHe said that his family was the greatest success of his life.
✔ 正確答案:(D) He said that his family was the greatest success of his life.

Is your child between four and six years old? Then come and learn the English alphabet with Ms. Wang! Every Saturday morning from 10:00 to 11:00, she sings songs, plays games, and reads picture books with the children.
Please read the following before you come:
The class is free, but because only twelve children can join each week, you must sign up at the front desk first.
Someone in the family must stay in the library during the class, although they do not have to sit in the room.
Food and drinks are not allowed in the room, since they can ruin the picture books.
Children who come four times will get a small gift, which they can choose from a box of toys. Call 06-234-5678 for more information.
解析Someone in the family must stay in the library during the class, although they do not have to sit in the room,家人要留在圖書館內等候,不一定要進教室陪坐。課程免費,到服務台是去報名而不是付錢;教室內也不能帶食物。
Our family is moving next month to a house on Lake Street, which is only five minutes on foot from my new junior high school. My father used to live on the same street when he was a boy, so he knows the area well. He even drew me a map of the shops near our new house.
The house is old, and the ceiling in my room is quite low, but my father says I can paint the walls any color I like. I am thinking about light blue with a white pattern, although my sister wants me to choose yellow.
Your aunt says she will cook her famous spaghetti for you, just as she used to cook it for your mother when they were girls!
Fifty years ago, many families in Taiwan had five or six children, and brothers and sisters shared almost everything, from rooms to clothes and even shoes. Today, a lot of couples have only one child, and some decide not to have children at all, because raising a child costs a lot of money.
Small families have good points. Parents have more time and money for each child, so an only child often gets the chance to learn music or play a sport after school.
However, there are also problems. An only child may feel lonely, because there is no one at home to play or talk with. When the parents get old, one child must take care of them alone. Some people believe that smaller families will change the future of the country.
