Messages and a Ticket

Amy: Guess what? My uncle, who works at City Music Hall, gave me two tickets to Nina Chen's show. Do you want to come with me?

Amy: Here is the ticket that my uncle gave me.

Ben: How do we get there if my dad can't drive us?

全文中譯

艾咪:你猜怎樣?我在市立音樂廳工作的叔叔給了我兩張陳妮娜演唱會的票。你要跟我一起去嗎?

班:好啊!她好幾年來都是我最喜歡的流行音樂歌手,所以我很想去。

艾咪:這是我叔叔給我的票。

晚上 6:30 開門/7:30 開演
第 9 排 14 號座
1,200 元

班:如果我爸不能載我們,我們要怎麼去?

艾咪:公車要坐四十分鐘。我想在開門時就到,因為我想趁排隊的人還不多時,先買她的新專輯。

班:好。既然裡面不能帶食物,我會帶些點心在公車上吃。

Questions 19–21
19What is the purpose of Amy's first message?
ATo ask Ben to buy a ticket for her
BTo find out Ben's favorite singer
CTo tell Ben about her uncle's new job
DTo invite Ben to go to a show with her
✔ 正確答案:(D) To invite Ben to go to a show with her
中譯艾咪第一則訊息的目的是什麼?
解析艾咪說叔叔給了她兩張票,接著問 Do you want to come with me?,目的是邀班一起去看表演。票是叔叔送的,不必請班幫她買票;她雖然提到叔叔在音樂廳工作,但沒說是「新工作」,也不是傳訊目的;最喜歡的歌手是班自己說的,不是艾咪要打聽的。
20What time should Amy and Ben take the bus?
AAt 6:50 p.m.
BAt 5:30 p.m.
CAt 6:30 p.m.
DAt 5:50 p.m.
✔ 正確答案:(D) At 5:50 p.m.
中譯艾咪和班應該幾點搭公車?
解析艾咪想在開門(Doors open 6:30)時就到,公車要四十分鐘,所以要 6:30 往回推 40 分鐘=5:50 搭車。6:50 是誤用開演時間 7:30 去減 40 分鐘;6:30 是開門時間、不是搭車時間;5:30 多減了二十分鐘。
21What does the ticket NOT tell us?
AWhen the show will begin
BHow long the show will last
CWhich door to use
DWhere to sit
✔ 正確答案:(B) How long the show will last
中譯票上沒有告訴我們什麼?
解析票上有入口(East Entrance,告訴我們走哪個門)、座位(Row 9, Seat 14)和開演時間(Show starts 7:30),但沒有寫表演會進行多久。

春季美展

  • 地點:201 教室,圖書館隔壁
  • 時間:5 月 10 日至 5 月 14 日,上午 9:00 至下午 4:00
  • 開放對象:全體學生及家長

今年牆上掛著九十幅畫作。大部分是同學們的作品,但其中十幅是從美術老師吳老師的私人住家帶來的,是他收藏多年的畫。因為這些畫對他非常珍貴,請不要觸摸。

教室內禁止飲食,不過可以在入口外享用點心。如果你想選出最喜歡的畫,請在門邊那張紙上該畫作的號碼旁畫個圈。最後一天會公布優勝者的名字,優勝者將獲得一組新畫筆。

Questions 22–24
22Why should visitors not touch Mr. Wu's paintings?
AThey are very special to Mr. Wu.
BThey are still wet.
CThey are for sale.
DThey were made by young children.
✔ 正確答案:(A) They are very special to Mr. Wu.
中譯參觀者為什麼不可以碰吳老師的畫?
解析文中說這十幅是吳老師收藏多年的畫,Because they have great value to him, please do not touch them,對他非常珍貴,改寫為「對吳老師很特別」。文中沒說畫還沒乾或要出售;這些畫來自吳老師家,也沒說是小孩畫的。
23How many of the paintings were made by students?
AEighty
BTen
CForty
DNinety
✔ 正確答案:(A) Eighty
中譯有幾幅畫是學生畫的?
解析牆上共有九十幅畫,其中十幅是從吳老師家帶來的,所以學生的作品是 90 − 10 = 80 幅。Ninety 是總數,Ten 是吳老師的畫,Forty 文中沒有。
24How can a visitor choose a favorite painting?
AWrite the painter's name on the wall
BSend a message to the school
CMark a number on a paper near the door
DTell Mr. Wu in the library
✔ 正確答案:(C) Mark a number on a paper near the door
中譯參觀者要怎麼選出最喜歡的畫?
解析文中說 draw a circle next to its number on the paper by the door,也就是在門邊的紙上圈出號碼。展場雖然在圖書館隔壁(next to the library),但「到圖書館告訴吳老師」不是投票方式;「把畫家名字寫在牆上」「傳訊息給學校」也都沒提到。

親愛的班:

謝謝你送的漫畫書。我哥哥山姆比我大三歲,是一位音樂家。他每週向一位平常教小朋友的音樂老師上兩次私人課,並在一個流行樂團彈吉他。上個月樂團錄製了第一張唱片,是一張有六首歌的專輯,其中兩首是山姆自己寫的。

這星期六樂團會在市政廳表演。表演七點開始,一張票只要四十元。我們平常搭公車,但因為我媽媽覺得會下雨,所以她會開車載我們去。請六點到我家,我知道這有點早,不過我想坐到靠近舞台的位子。

再見,
威利

Questions 25–27
25What is NOT true about Sam?
AHe plays in a band that plays pop music.
BHe teaches music to children.
CHe takes music lessons.
DHe has made an album.
✔ 正確答案:(B) He teaches music to children.
中譯關於山姆,下列何者不正確?
解析信中說山姆上私人課(takes private lessons)、在流行樂團彈吉他、樂團出了一張專輯(album),這三項都正確。文中「教小朋友」的是山姆的音樂老師(a music teacher who usually teaches young children),不是山姆,所以「他教小孩音樂」不正確。
26How will Willy and Ben get to City Hall?
ABy bus
BIn a car
CBy train
DOn foot
✔ 正確答案:(B) In a car
中譯威利和班要怎麼去市政廳?
解析他們平常搭公車,但媽媽覺得會下雨,所以 she will drive us there,這次會開車載他們去。By bus 是平常的方式,不是這次;火車、走路都沒提到。
27Why does Willy ask Ben to come at six?
AHe wants to sit close to the band.
BHe wants to eat dinner with Ben.
CThe show starts at six.
DSam needs help with his guitar.
✔ 正確答案:(A) He wants to sit close to the band.
中譯威利為什麼要班六點來?
解析威利說 I want to get seats near the stage,想坐在離舞台(樂團)近的位子,所以要早點出發。表演七點開始,不是六點;吃晚餐和幫忙拿吉他都沒提到。
ARTICLE
Music and Art at School

Long ago, Confucius told his students that music was very important, because he believed songs could make people kind and help them get along. Today many schools in Taiwan still see the value of music and art.

At Green Hill School, every class has an art and music program on Friday afternoon, when students may learn an instrument, sing in a group, or draw pictures. In addition, the school plans to record the best songs of the students this year and send them to every family.

Some parents, who are concerned about tests, think students should spend more time on math and English. However, the teachers do not agree, because they believe that music and art play a big role in a happy school life and that happy students often learn better in every class.

全文中譯

很久以前,孔子告訴他的學生音樂非常重要,因為他相信歌曲能讓人變得善良,並幫助人們和睦相處。今天台灣仍有許多學校看重音樂與美術的價值。

在綠丘學校,每班星期五下午都有美術與音樂課程,學生可以學一種樂器、參加合唱或畫畫。此外,學校今年計畫把學生最好的歌曲錄下來,寄給每個家庭。

有些擔心考試的家長認為,學生應該多花時間在數學和英文上。然而,老師們並不同意,因為他們相信音樂和美術在快樂的校園生活中扮演重要角色,而快樂的學生往往在每一科都學得更好。

Questions 28–30
28What is the main idea of this article?
AConfucius was the first music teacher in Taiwan.
BStudents should spend more time on math and English.
CEvery family should buy an instrument for their children.
DMusic and art are still important in school life today.
✔ 正確答案:(D) Music and art are still important in school life today.
中譯這篇文章的主旨是什麼?
解析文章從孔子重視音樂談起,再舉綠丘學校的美術音樂課程,最後老師強調音樂美術在快樂校園生活中的角色,主旨是「音樂與美術在今日校園生活中仍很重要」。「學生應多花時間在數學英文」只是部分家長的想法,老師並不同意;孔子不是台灣第一位音樂老師;文中也沒要每個家庭買樂器。
29Which activity is NOT part of the Friday program?
ASinging with classmates
BMaking music with an instrument
CActing in a play
DPainting pictures
✔ 正確答案:(C) Acting in a play
中譯下列哪一項不是星期五課程的一部分?
解析星期五的課程包含學樂器(learn an instrument)、合唱(sing in a group)和畫畫(draw pictures),但沒有演戲。其他三項都是原文的改寫;錄歌寄給家庭是另外的計畫,也和演戲無關。
30What would the teachers most likely say to the parents?
AMusic lessons should only be for good singers.
BThe Friday program will stop next year.
CArt and music can help students do well in other classes.
DStudents do not need to study math at all.
✔ 正確答案:(C) Art and music can help students do well in other classes.
中譯老師們最可能對家長說什麼?
解析老師相信快樂的學生 often learn better in every class,可推論他們會對家長說「美術音樂能幫助學生在其他科目表現好」。「學生完全不需要讀數學」太極端;「只有唱得好的人能上音樂課」「明年停辦」文中都沒提到。
