登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
本題考查英文文法,主要為虛擬語氣、假設語氣、動詞時態和句型結構。
(A) 錯誤。suggest 後面接的 that 子句,動詞應使用原形(subjunctive mood),即 "submit",而非 "would submit"。正確說法為 "The teacher suggested that the student submit his assignment early."

第 17 題
- Identify the correct sentence:
(A) Having completed the project, the deadline was extended.
(B) While walking to school, a dog barked at me.
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
核心觀念:懸垂分詞構句(dangling participle)
分詞構句的主詞,通常必須與主要子句的主詞相同。例如:
Having completed the project, I submitted the report.
「Having completed the project」的隱含主詞是 I,主要子句主詞也必須是能完成 project 的人。若主要子句主詞是無法合理執行該動作的名詞,就會形成懸垂分詞錯誤。
解題方法
逐一檢查句首分詞構句的隱含主詞,再確認它是否與主要子句主詞一致,且語意合理。
選項分析
(A) Having completed the project, the deadline was extended.
句首的 Having completed the project 表示「完成了專案之後」。其隱含主詞應是「完成專案的人」。
但主要子句的主詞是 the deadline(截止期限):
the deadline was extended
截止期限被延長
「截止期限」不可能完成專案,因此句首分詞構句沒有合理的主詞,形成懸垂分詞。
可改為:
Having completed the project, we found that the deadline was extended.
或:
第 18 題
- Identify the correct sentence:
(A) By the time he arrived, the show already ended.
(B) If I knew the answer, I would have told you.
(C) The team has been practicing for two hours when it started raining.
(D) By next year, she will have completed her degree.
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
本題考查英文文法,主要為時態與假設語氣。
(A) 錯誤。當 "by the time" 之後接過去簡單式時,主句的時態應該是過去完成式,表示在他抵達時,演出已經結束了。正確說法為 "By the time he arrived, the show had already ended."
(B) 錯誤。這是第三種假設語氣 (mixed conditional),用於表達與過去事實相反的假設,並導致現在的結果。其結構應為 "If + had + P.P., would + V"。此處 "If I knew the answer" 是第二種假設語氣 (與現在事實相反),而 "I would have told you" 是第三種假設語氣的結果。兩者混用錯誤。
第 19 題
- Identify the correct sentence:
(A) He accused her for stealing his phone.
(B) She insisted to join the meeting despite her illness.
(C) They succeeded in persuading the board to reconsider.
(D) He is addicted with video games.
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
本題考查英文文法,主要為動詞的搭配用法和介系詞。
(A) 錯誤。accuse sb. of doing sth. 是固定搭配,表示「控告某人做某事」。正確說法為 "He accused her of stealing his phone."
(B) 錯誤。insist 後面接 that 子句時,that 子句的動詞應使用原形 (subjunctive mood);或者 insist on doing sth.,表示堅持做某事。直接接不定詞 "to join" 是錯誤的。
第 20 題
- Identify the correct sentence:
(A) She likes dancing, singing, and to paint.
(B) He is not only talented but also hardworking.
(C) They are either going to the movies or stay home.
(D) The report is neither accurate nor clarity.
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
本題考查英文文法,主要為平行結構和慣用語。
(A) 錯誤。平行結構要求並列的詞語形式一致。這裡並列了 "dancing" (動名詞), "singing" (動名詞), 和 "to paint" (不定詞)。為了保持平行,應該都是動名詞。正確說法為 "She likes dancing, singing, and painting."
(B) 正確。not only... but also... 是並列連接詞,要求連接的詞語結構相同。這裡連接了形容詞 "talented" 和 "hardworking",結構平行。
(C) 錯誤。either... or... 是並列連接詞,要求連接的詞語結構相同。
第 21 題
- Choose the correct sentence:
(A) Let's meet at six o'clock, shall we?
(B) Let's meet at six o'clock, will we?
(C) Let's meet at six o'clock, can we?
(D) Let's meet at six o'clock, won't we?
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
本題考查疑問附加問句 (tag question) 的用法。
"Let's..." 是 "Let us..." 的縮寫,表示提議或邀請。對於這種提議,其附加問句通常使用 "shall we?" 來徵求同意或確認。
(A) 正確。
第 22 題
- Choose the correct sentence:
(A) The teacher demanded that he submitted his assignment.
(B) John, along with his friends, is coming.
(C) Had he been there, he would know the truth.
(D) He acted as if he would be the winner.
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
本題考查英文文法,主要為動詞時態、假設語氣和特殊句型。
(A) 錯誤。demand that... 的結構,that 後面接的動詞應使用原形 (subjunctive mood)。正確說法為 "The teacher demanded that he submit his assignment."
(B) 正確。當主語由 "along with", "as well as", "together with" 等片語連接時,動詞的數應與第一個主語保持一致。這裡第一個主語是 "John" (單數),所以動詞用 "is coming" (單數)。
(C) 錯誤。這是第三種假設語氣的倒裝句,表示與過去事實相反的假設。

第 24 題
No sooner the bell rang than the students ran out.
(A) No
(B) the bell rang
(C) than
(D) ran out
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
本題考查 no sooner... than... 的句型結構。
"No sooner... than..." 表示「一...就...」,是一個常見的倒裝句型。其結構為 "No sooner + had + 主詞 + P.P. + than + 過去簡單式"。
題目中缺少了助動詞 "had" 和主詞 "the bell",並且 "rang" 是過去式,而非過去分詞。
正確的句子應為 "No sooner had the bell rung than the students ran out."
因此,錯誤的部分是開頭的 "No" 和後續的句子結構。在這個選項中,我們可以選擇指出錯誤的起始點。
(A) No:錯誤的開頭,應該是 "No sooner had..."
(B) the bell rang:結構錯誤,應該是 "the bell rung"。
(C) than:此處的 than 是正確的連接詞。
(D) ran out:這是正確的過去簡單式。
題目要求找出錯誤,而整個句子開頭的結構是錯的。從選項來看,最明顯的錯誤在於句子的起始結構。
如果題目是問「哪一個選項是錯誤的」,那麼 (A) 或 (B) 都可以被視為錯誤的構成部分。
但若題目是問「指出錯誤的詞語」,那麼整個 "No sooner the bell rang" 的結構都是錯的。
考量到「No sooner」是一個固定片語的開頭,其後必須跟倒裝結構。
因此,錯誤的來源是「No sooner」後面沒有接上正確的倒裝結構。
選項 (A) "No" 雖然是 "No sooner" 的一部分,但問題在於其後面的結構。
選項 (B) "the bell rang" 顯然是錯的,應該是 "the bell rung"。
第 25 題
- Identify the error:
Despite the players complained about the rain and some fans left early, the match continued.
(A) Despite
(B) about
(C) some
(D) continued
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
本題考查介系詞和連接詞的用法。
"Despite" 後面應該接名詞、名詞片語或動名詞 (doing),而不是接一個完整的子句 (S + V)。
題目中的 "the players complained" 是一個子句。
正確的用法是:
- Despite + N/NP/V-ing, S + V.
- Although/Even though + S + V, S + V.
因此,錯誤的部分是 "Despite"。
(A) Despite:錯誤。
第 26 題
The more chances he has at dealing with significant matters, the less patience he has for trial issues.
(A) chances
(B) dealing with
(C) the less
(D) trial
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
核心觀念
本題考「the more …, the less …」的相關比較句型,以及字義辨析。
句型:
表示「越……,就越……」。前後兩部分的比較級必須相互呼應,例如:
- The more you practice, the better you perform.
- The less time we have, the more nervous we become.
題意為:「他越有機會處理重要的事情,就越沒有耐性處理瑣碎的問題。」因此後半句應使用表示「瑣碎的、微不足道的」的形容詞 trivial。
解題方法
先辨認句子骨架:
- The more chances he has at dealing with significant matters
- the less patience he has for trial issues
前半句的 the more 與後半句的 the less 構成正確的相關比較句型。語意上,significant matters「重要的事情」應與「瑣碎的事情」形成對比,因此最後的 trial 必須改為 trivial。
修正後:
The more chances he has at dealing with significant matters, the less patience he has for trivial issues.
意思是:「他越有機會處理重要的事情,就越沒有耐性處理瑣碎的問題。」
選項分析
(A) chances
第 35 題
- Which of the following statements about keeping resolutions is true?
(A) A vague resolution is better than a concrete one.
(B) Repeating the same action everyday does not help us keep our resolution.
(C) If you can do a thing at any time, it is likely that you will never do it.
(D) None of the above
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
本題考查閱讀理解,關於如何維持新年願望(resolutions)。
文章後半部分詳細探討了如何有效維持願望。
文章提到:「We're more likely to keep our resolutions when they're concrete and measurable. "No screens 6:00-9:00 p.m." works better than "reduce my screen time."」這直接反駁了 (A)。
文章提到:「Also and this may seem counterintuitive it's often easier to keep a resolution when we do an action every day than when we do it sometimes. Habits form best when we do an activity often and consistently, so by reading for 25 minutes each day, we're more likely to make it a habit.」這直接反駁了 (B)。
