解析由 he 可知空格是男孩，「姪子、外甥 nephew」最合適。vendor 小販是做生意的大人、hanger 衣架、brick 磚塊都不是人。
單字nephew 姪子、外甥、vendor 小販、hanger 衣架
8The street sells hot soup near the old temple.
Apaper
Bkid
Csoul
Dvendor
✔ 正確答案：(D) vendor
中譯那位街頭小販在舊廟附近賣熱湯。
解析在街上賣東西的人叫「小販 vendor」。soul 靈魂、paper 紙都不是人；kid 小孩不會在街上開店賣熱湯，也沒有 street kid sells 這種說法。
單字vendor 小販、soul 靈魂、kid 小孩
9Many people believe that the never dies.
Apear
Bpeach
Csand
Dsoul
✔ 正確答案：(D) soul
中譯許多人相信靈魂永遠不會消失。
解析和「永遠不死」搭配的是「靈魂 soul」。sand 沙子、pear 梨、peach 桃子都是東西或水果，不會用 die 來說。
單字soul 靈魂、pear 梨、sand 沙子
10The festival was over when we arrived.
Ajust
Bno
Cbeyond
Dmaybe
✔ 正確答案：(A) just
中譯我們到的時候，慶典剛好結束。
解析just 放在動詞後表示「剛剛」，just over 就是「剛結束」。no 沒有不能修飾 over、maybe 或許要放句首、beyond 是介系詞「超出」，都不合。
單字just 剛剛、正好、beyond 超出、遠於、maybe 或許

New Year Around the World
People around the world have their own New Year traditions. In Taiwan, families clean the house and eat a big traditional dinner together. Children get red envelopes because red is the color of good luck.
In Spain, people eat twelve grapes at midnight. In Japan, many families visit a temple and pray for a healthy year.
These customs look different, but the belief behind them is the same. People simply hope that the new year will be better than the last one.
