   1. (A) measure
   2. (B) publication
   3. (C) rubrics
   4. (D) certification

   正解：(A)

   逐題詳解（免費試讀）

   ✅ (A) measure 作名詞可表「衡量指標、尺度」，a measure of status 指「地位的象徵/衡量標準」，符合後文「現代性的標誌」之平行對稱句構。

   ❌ (B) publication 意為「出版物、發行」，與車輛代表的身分地位無關。

   ❌ (C) rubrics 意為「評分準則、指示說明」，多用於教學或考試規程，不合文意。

   ❌ (D) certification 意為「證明、檢定合格證書」，指官方發給之憑證，不合句意搭配。

   📚 出處：英文核心字彙與名詞片語搭配（a measure of...）。

   1. (A) moderate
   2. (B) unfriendly
   3. (C) reluctant
   4. (D) aggressive

   正解：(A)

   逐題詳解（免費試讀）

   ✅ (A) moderate 意為「溫和的、適度的」，後句提到評論既無尖銳言詞也不顯得過度挑剔，故該評論是溫和客觀的。

   ❌ (B) unfriendly 意為「不友好的」，與後文「不包含尖酸刻薄字眼」相矛盾。

   ❌ (C) reluctant 意為「不情願的、勉強的」，無法用來形容評論內容的語調。

   ❌ (D) aggressive 意為「具侵略性的、好鬥的」，與後文「不過度批判」意思相反。

   📚 出處：英文形容詞字彙與句意轉折理解。

   2. (B) nightmare
   3. (C) death
   4. (D) illness

   正解：(C)

   逐題詳解（免費試讀）

   ✅ (C) death 是名詞「死亡」，scare someone half to death 為英語固定成語，意指「把某人嚇得半死」，符合聽鬼故事的情境。

   ❌ (A) sleep 意為「睡眠」，half to sleep 非慣用搭配（半夢半醒應為 half asleep）。

   ❌ (B) nightmare 意為「惡夢」，scare someone to nightmare 並非正確成語。

   ❌ (D) illness 意為「疾病」，英語中無 scare someone to illness 之慣用句法。

   📚 出處：英語生活常用慣用語與成語（scare someone half to death）。

14. During my high school years my best friend was Susan Miller, a girl who had lived down the street from me all her life. We knew each other well and had many interests in common. One way in which we were different, however, was in our shopping habits. When I shopped, I always knew what I wanted, got it quickly, and left. For Susan, shopping was a game. She spent all day at it: examining, comparing, and finally, if conditions were right, buying. All too often I have spent hours waiting for her to make up her mind. In fact, my longest “shopathon” was on a Christmas Eve when Susan and I went to pick up a few last-minute gifts. She wanted a fit for her father, and I had to get something for my youngest sister, Sara. We started at 9:00 A.M., and by 10:15 I had bought Sara her gift, a toy Dalmatian. Then I just trudged around the mall after Susan. By one o’clock she still had not made a purchase, and the mall was becoming human gridlock. Finally feeling some compassion, Susan bought herself and me each a slice of pizza. We had to eat standing up; the tables were all filled. Then, walking and walking through endless stores, we continued shopping. She examined shirts, scarves, ties, knickknacks. Her response to every possibility was negative: her father had it, he wouldn’t like it, this was too expensive, and that was too cheap. Nothing seemed right for Susan’s father. Finally, fifteen minutes before the mall was scheduled to close, she came out of a store in triumph. “I got it!”she said. I looked up from where I was sitting on a bench, rubbing my swollen feet. “What?” I asked weakly. She held up a piece of paper. “A gift certificate!”she exclaimed. “With this my father can get whatever he wants.”

    14According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

    1. (A) The author agrees that slow-paced shopping can be very rewarding.
    2. (B) Though their shopping habits were different, the author enjoyed shopping with Susan.
    3. (C) The author and Susan shared many interests except shopping habits.

35. By the 18th century Paris had replaced Rome as the artistic center of Europe. At the French court of Louis XV a new rococo style developed. The term “rococo” comes from the French word rocaille (rock-work). Like the terms “gothic” and “baroque,” it was a term of contempt—a departure from the classical conception of art. The rococo style is sometimes called the Louis XV style. The rococo style developed out of the late baroque. It was more delicate and relaxed than the baroque. It was also on a smaller scale, marked by curves and countercurves. Principally a decorative art, it expressed itself in interior architecture and design, painting, furniture, porcelain, and landscape gardening. It was first used to decorate the palaces and salons of the French aristocracy but later spread to the southern German states and Austria. The rococo style, then, was closely connected to the joyful, frivolous age of Louis XV. It aimed at delicacy and perfection of proportion. Small in scale, it had a graceful feminine character. It represented the elegance and luxury of the period.

    35According to this passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?

    1. (A) The term “rococo” is a French word, meaning rock-work.
    2. (B) Baroque style grew out of the rococo style.

    3. (C) Both were viewed as different from the classical conception of art.

    正解：(D)

38. Our fascination with eating and drinking behaviors and their causes has resulted in a huge industry of food-related pop science. Every bookstore, every magazine stand, every grocery store checkout counter is filled with publications about how to get your child to eat vegetables, how to tell if someone has an eating disorder or, most commonly, how to lose weight. But the degree to which any of these is based on scientific research is very limited. In contrast to the literature for the general reader, the scientific research on eating and drinking behaviors is usually too technical for the general reader. The Psychology of Eating and Drinking is a unique volume, a textbook that can be comprehended by the general educated reader. Just as in her previous books, Alexandra Logue grounds her investigation into the complex interactions between our physiology, our surroundings, and our eating and drinking habits in laboratory research and up-to-date scientific information. The chapters move from the general—hunger and thirst, taste and smell, and eating behaviors—to the more specialized—overeating and overdrinking, anorexia and bulimia, and alcohol use. In each case, Logue provides a brief synopsis of the most historically influential scientific research and then relates this history to the most up to date advances. This method provides the reader with a general introduction to the physiology of sensations related to eating and drinking and how these sensations are influenced by the individual’s social surroundings. Thus, this book provides general readers with a biological and psychological framework to understand their eating behaviors.

    38What’s the purpose of this passage?

    1. (A) To arouse the interest of doing research on food science.
    2. (B) To call for the attention to healthy life and food choices.
    3. (C) To advertise Alexandra Logue’s unique way of editing a cook book.
    4. (D) To introduce the book The Psychology of Eating and Drinking.

    正解：(A)

    本題附有逐題詳解，線上作答後即可看到。

42. Christopher Reeve (1952-2004) was an American actor, director, producer, and writer. He established himself early as a Juilliard-trained stage actor before portraying Superman/Clark Kent in four films, from 1978 to 1987. He was, however, never a Superman or comic book fan, though he had watched Adventures of Superman starring George Reeves. He took the challenge only because it was a dual role. Reeve took up horse riding in 1985 after learning to ride for the film Anna Karenina. He was initially allergic to horses, but as with every other sport he participated in, he took horse riding seriously and was intensely competitive with it. His allergies soon disappeared. The accident happened when he was invited in the 1995 jumping and dressage finals at the Commonwealth Park. Being over-concerned about jumps sixteen and seventeen, Reeve paid little attention to the third jump, which was a routine three-foot-three fence. After his horse had a refusal, Reeve fell off, severely damaged his spinal cord, and therefore, became paralyzed from the neck down. After being convinced that not only would he never walk again, but that he might never move a body part again, Reeve considered suicide. Thanks to his wife’s timely encouragement of love, Reeve never considered suicide as an option again. Instead, since he was constantly being covered by the media, he realized that he could use his name to help everyone with spinal cord injuries. Throughout this time, Reeve kept his body as physically strong as possible by using specialized exercise machines. Also, by engaging in various show businesses, he kept his mind active and helpful to others. Though he finally lost his battle to a systemic infection and passed away on October 10, 2004, his story has inspired people worldwide.

    42What is the main idea of this passage?

    1. (A) The inspiring life of Christopher Reeve, the Superman.
    2. (B) Christopher Reeve’s accident with a fall from the horse.
    3. (C) The adventures of a Superman, George Reeves.
    4. (D) The dual role, Superman/Clark Kent, by Christopher Reeve.

    1. (A) He died from a systemic infection at the age of 52.
