Our school has a music club which meets every Thursday after class, and forty students joined it this year. Some of them play an instrument, while others only sing. Our teacher, Mr. Lin, is a real (11) who played in a big band for ten years before he came to our school. (12), I was so afraid of singing in front of other people that my face turned red every time I opened my mouth. (13) He asked me to sing with two friends first, so that I could get used to the stage. Now I stand in the front row. Next month we will give a show for our parents, (14) we practice twice a week.
解析「林老師是真正的＿＿」，後面的關係子句 who played in a big band for ten years 說明他的經歷，可見是「音樂家 musician」。comic 漫畫、fox 狐狸、purse 錢包都不是人，也不能用 who 修飾。

AFor example
BFinally
CTherefore
DAt first
✔ 正確答案：(D) At first
解析空格後描述「我」過去很怕唱歌、一開口就臉紅（so…that 句型），後文說 Now I stand in the front row，形成「起初…現在…」的對比，所以用 At first。Therefore 因此——前面講的是老師的經歷，推不出「我很怕唱歌」；Finally 最後、For example 例如都和時間順序不合。

AMy mother bought me a new piano for my birthday.
BSo I stopped going to the club after that.
CMr. Lin asked me to leave the music club.
DBut Mr. Lin said everyone makes mistakes when they learn.
✔ 正確答案：(D) But Mr. Lin said everyone makes mistakes when they learn.
解析前面說「我」怕唱歌、臉會紅，後面說 He asked me to sing with two friends first, so that I could get used to the stage，中間要填林老師鼓勵的話：「但林老師說每個人學習時都會犯錯」。「之後就不去社團了」「林老師要我離開社團」都和後文「現在站第一排」矛盾；「媽媽買鋼琴給我」與上下文無關。
14
Abut
Bbecause
Cso
Dif
✔ 正確答案：(C) so
解析「下個月要為家長表演」是原因，「每週練習兩次」是結果，用 so 連接。because 要放在原因前面，填了會變成「因為每週練習兩次，所以要表演」，因果顛倒；but 表轉折、if 表條件都不合。
Passage 2
Learning to Draw
My cousin Kevin is a young artist. He started to draw when he was five, and now he takes an art class every Saturday morning. His teacher, (15) has painted for thirty years, always tells him to look carefully before he picks up a brush. Last month Kevin decided to paint the beach near his house, so he went there every day and watched the sea for hours. (16) Because of this, he made ten small pictures, but none of them felt right to him. (17), after three weeks of hard work, he finished a big (18) in which the water looks so real. His teacher put it near the school entrance so that everyone can view it.
解析空格引導關係子句補充說明 His teacher（人），且在子句中當主詞（後面直接接 has painted），用 who。which 修飾事物、when 修飾時間、what 不能當關係代名詞修飾先行詞。
16
AThe color of the water was different every hour.
BHe forgot to bring his brushes that day.
CHe did not like the beach at all.
DHis teacher drew the picture for him.
✔ 正確答案：(A) The color of the water was different every hour.
解析前句說他每天去看海、一看好幾小時，後句 Because of this, he made ten small pictures, but none of them felt right，表示空格必須是「讓他畫了很多張仍不滿意」的原因——「海水顏色每小時都不同」最合理。「他那天忘了帶畫筆」只是一天的事，接不上 Because of this 畫了十張；「他一點也不喜歡海灘」與他決定畫海灘矛盾；「老師替他畫了這幅畫」與後文他自己完成不合。
17
AAt first
BFor example
CIn addition
DFinally
✔ 正確答案：(D) Finally
解析前面畫了十張都不滿意，after three weeks of hard work 才完成大作，用 Finally 表示「經過一番努力後終於」。At first 起初與時間順序相反；In addition 此外是補充同類的資訊，不合「從失敗到成功」的轉變；For example 例如也不合。
