    1依短文選出第 1 格最適合的答案

    1. (A) counted
    2. (B) circulated
    3. (C) divided
    4. (D) merged

    正解：(C)

    逐題詳解（免費試讀）

    ✅ (C) be divided into 為「被分成…」，後文接 three groups，並依序介紹第一、二、三組國家，符合「分成三類」的句意。

    ❌ (A) counted 為「計算、算入」，count into 不是表示分類的慣用搭配，也無法表達「分成三組」。

    ❌ (B) circulated 為「流通、傳閱」，指消息或物品流傳，與將國家分類無關。

    ❌ (D) merged 為「合併」，意思是把多個合成一個，與分成三組的方向相反。

    📚 出處：英文動詞片語；divide A into B（把 A 分成 B）的被動用法。

  2. 2依短文選出第 2 格最適合的答案

    1. (A) made of
    2. (B) contained by
    3. (C) set up
    4. (D) involved in

    正解：(A)

    逐題詳解（免費試讀）

    ✅ (A) be made of 為「由…組成、由…構成」，指第一組是由以英語為主要語言的國家所組成，語意與後句列舉國家相符。

    ❌ (B) contained by 為「被…包含」，主客關係顛倒：應是組別包含國家，而非組別被國家包含。

    ❌ (C) set up 為「設立、建立」，be set up those countries 文法與語意皆不通。

    ❌ (D) involved in 為「涉入、參與」，指參與某事，不能表達組別的成員構成。

    📚 出處：英文動詞片語；be made of／be composed of（由…組成）的用法。

  3. 3依短文選出第 3 格最適合的答案

    1. (A) as well
    2. (B) all
    3. (C) average
    4. (D) alone

    正解：(D)

    逐題詳解（免費試讀）

    ✅ (D) alone 放在名詞後表示「單單、光是」，in these countries alone 指「光是這些國家就有超過 3.8 億母語人士」，強調數量之多。

    ❌ (A) as well 為「也、同樣」，前文並無對照的對象可接「也」，語意不連貫。

    ❌ (B) all 放句尾作 in these countries all 不合英文語序，應為 all these countries。

    ❌ (C) average 為「平均」，作名詞或形容詞，置於句尾既不合文法也不合語意。

    📚 出處：英文副詞用法；alone 置於名詞後表「僅僅、光是」。

  4. 4依短文選出第 4 格最適合的答案

  21. In a remarkable—if likely controversial—feat, scientists announced today that they have created the first successful human-animal hybrids. The project proves that human cells can be 21 into a non-human organism, survive, and even grow inside a host animal, in this case, pigs. This biomedical advance has long been a dream for scientists hoping to address a critical 22 of donor organs. Every ten minutes, a person is 23 the national waiting list for organ transplants. And every day, 22 people on that list die without the organ they need. What if, 24 relying on a generous donor, you could grow a custom organ inside an animal instead? That’s now one step 25 reality, an international team of researchers led by the Salk Institute reports in the journal Cell. The team created what’s known scientifically as a chimera: an organism that contains cells from two different species.

  26. Many studies have shown that musical training can enhance language skills. However, it was unknown whether music lessons improve general cognitive ability, leading to better language proficiency, or if the effect of music is more specific to language processing. A new study has found that piano lessons have a very specific effect on kindergartners’ ability to distinguish different pitches, which translates into an improvement in discriminating between spoken words. However, the piano lessons did not appear to confer any benefit for overall cognitive ability, as measured by IQ, attention span, and working memory. Previous studies have shown that on average, musicians perform better than nonmusicians on tasks such as reading comprehension, distinguishing speech from background noise, and rapid auditory processing. However, most of these studies have been done by asking people about their past musical training. The MIT researchers wanted to perform a more controlled study in which they could randomly assign children to receive music lessons or not, and then measure the effects. After six months, the researchers tested the children on their ability to discriminate words based on differences in vowels, consonants, or tone (many Mandarin words differ only in tone). Better word discrimination usually corresponds with better phonological awareness — the awareness of the sound structure of words, which is a key component of learning to read. Children who had piano lessons showed a significant advantage over children in the extra reading group in discriminating between words that differ by one consonant. Children in both the piano group and extra reading group performed better than children who received neither intervention when it came to discriminating words based on vowel differences.

  42. Because we are living longer than ever, more psychologists and social workers have begun to study ways of caregiving to improve care of the elderly. They have found that all caregivers share a common characteristic: they all feel that they can do the job better than anyone else. Social workers interviewed caregivers to find out why they took on the responsibility of caring for an elderly, dependent relative. They discovered three basic reasons. Many caregivers believed that they had an obligation to help their relatives. Some stated that helping others made them feel more useful. Others hoped that by helping someone now, they would deserve care when they became old and dependent. When people care for an elderly relative, they often do not use available community services, such as adult day-care centers. If the caregivers are adult children, they are more likely to use such services, especially because they often have jobs and other responsibilities. In contrast, a spouse, usually the wife, is much less likely to use support services or to put the dependent person in a nursing home. Social workers discovered that the wife normally tries to take care of her husband herself as long as she can in order not to use up their life savings. Researchers have found that caring for the elderly can be a very positive experience. However, even when caregiving is satisfying, it is hard work. One consideration is to ask parents what they want before they become sick or dependent. Perhaps they prefer going into a nursing home, so they can select one in advance. On the other hand, they may want to live with their adult children. Caregivers must also learn to be assertive and ask for help from others, especially siblings. Brothers and sisters are often willing to help, but they may not know what to do. We can expect to live longer lives than ever before. Caring for the elderly and being taken care of can be a mutually satisfying experience for everyone involved.

    42According to the passage, what is the shared feature of all caregivers?

    1. (A) They feel they have no way but to accept the job.
    2. (B) They think the elderly will appreciate what they do.
    3. (C) They feel they can do the job without any difficulty.
    4. (D) They believe they can do the job better than anyone else.

    3. (C) They had a sense of accomplishment when helping their relative.
