Part 2: Grammar 20% (2% for each question)
Select the best word to complete the sentence.
The police ____ that the suspect must have left this apartment yesterday evening.
(A) shall deduct
(B) has deducted
(C) will have deducted
(D) would deduct
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
核心觀念
本題考查兩點:
-
動詞語意辨析
deduce:推論、推斷deduct:扣除、減去
句意是「警方推斷嫌犯昨天傍晚一定已經離開這間公寓」,因此需要表示「推斷」的動詞
deduce,而不是表示「扣除」的deduct。 -
主詞與動詞一致
The police表示「警方」,視為複數名詞,後面的動詞不可使用第三人稱單數形式has。
句中 must have left 是「對過去事情的肯定推測」,表示「一定已經離開」。
解題方法
先判斷空格動詞的語意。句意需要「推斷」:
警方__嫌犯昨天傍晚一定已經離開這間公寓。
因此空格應填 deduce 的適當時態。若敘述的是警方當時做出的判斷,最自然的句子是:
The police deduced that the suspect must have left this apartment yesterday evening.
其中:
deduced:過去式,表示警方當時作出的推斷。must have left:must + have + 過去分詞,表示對過去事件的肯定推測。
選項分析
- (A) shall deduct
deduct是「扣除、減去」,不符合「警方推斷」的語意;shall通常用於正式規定、命令或表示將來,不適合此處的過去事件敘述。錯誤。
第 12 題
Part 2: Grammar 20% (2% for each question)
Select the best word to complete the sentence.
In some parts of the world, couples who are childless can feel ____ from the rest of society.

(C) exclusive
(D) having been excluded
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
本題考查形容詞或分詞的用法。句子的意思是「在世界上的某些地方,沒有孩子的夫婦可能會感覺到被社會『排斥』。」
這裡需要一個過去分詞來作形容詞,表示「被動」的感受。
(A) excluded:被排斥的 (過去分詞作形容詞)。
第 13 題
Part 2: Grammar 20% (2% for each question)
Select the best word to complete the sentence.
My dog had ____ for six months when we immigrated to the United Kingdom.
(A) quarantine
(B) to quarantine
(C) to be quarantined
(D) quarantining
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
本題考查動詞不定詞與動名詞的用法。句子的意思是「當我們移民到英國時,我的狗被『隔離』了六個月。」
這裡需要一個不定詞片語或動名詞來作為 "had" 的受詞,表示「被隔離」這個動作。
"had" 在這裡可能作為助動詞(表示過去完成式,但後面沒有過去分詞),或者作為一個動詞,表示「經歷」或「遭受」。
考慮到「被隔離」的語意,我們需要一個被動結構。
第 14 題

(A) spend
(B) spent

本題考查時態與語態。句子的意思是「這個國家的發展被一位不願前瞻的領導人『阻礙』了。」
這裡需要一個被動語態來表達「發展被阻礙」。
(A) constrains:現在式,主動。
(B) was constraining:過去進行式,主動。
第 16 題

Select the best word to complete the sentence.
I ____ that we have sufficient funds to do this project.
(A) convince
(B) convinced
(C) am convinced
(D) am convincing
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
本題考查動詞 "convince" 的用法。 "convince" 意為「說服」。
句子的意思是「我『相信』我們有足夠的資金來做這個計畫。」
這裡需要表達「被說服」或「相信」的意思,而不是「說服」別人。
(A) convince:動詞原形,表示主動說服。
第 17 題
Part 2: Grammar 20% (2% for each question)
Select the best word to complete the sentence.
A(n) ____ of charities are coordinating their efforts to distribute food to the region.
(A) amount
(B) number
(C) team
(D) herd
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
本題考查集合名詞的用法。句子的意思是「有『一群』慈善機構正在協調他們的努力,以向該地區分發食物。」
這裡需要一個詞來指代一群慈善機構。
(A) amount:量,通常用於不可數名詞。
(B) number:數量,用於可數名詞。
(C) team:團隊,通常指為完成某項任務而組成的一群人。
(D) herd:獸群。
慈善機構是一個個體,可以被計算,並且他們協調行動,可以視為一個「團隊」或「一群」。
然而,"a number of" 是「許多」的意思,後面接可數名詞複數。
"a team of charities" 也是可能的,表示慈善機構組成一個團隊。
但從語意來看,「一群慈善機構」正在協調,"a number of" 加上後面的 "are coordinating" (複數動詞) 是最常見的搭配。
如果選項是 "a number of",那麼它後面應該接名詞。
這裡的空格填入一個集合名詞,後面接複數動詞 "are"。
"A number of" 是一個片語,表示「許多」。
如果空格填入 "number",那麼 "A number of charities" 是一個常見的用法。
但是,題目是 "A(n) ____ of charities...",表示空格中填入的詞本身是一個集合名詞。
(B) number:表示數量。 "a number of" 是片語。
(C) team:表示團隊。 "a team of charities" 是合法的用法。
(D) herd:表示獸群。
(A) amount:表示數量,用於不可數名詞。
句意是「一群慈善機構」。
"a number of" 是「許多」。
"a team of" 是「一個團隊」。
考慮到慈善機構是獨立的組織,他們協調合作,組成一個「團隊」來分發食物,"team" 是比較貼切的。
第 18 題

Select the best word to complete the sentence.

登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
本題考查分詞構句或不定詞的用法。句子的意思是「警方揭露了一個『偷竊』價值超過 25 萬美元畫作的陰謀。」
這裡需要一個分詞或不定詞來修飾 "scheme",說明陰謀的性質。
(A) stolen:過去分詞,表示被動或已完成的動作。
(B) stealing:現在分詞,表示主動或正在進行的動作。
第 19 題

(D) Within
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
本題考查介系詞或連接詞的用法。句子的意思是「抵達『兩週內』,所有外國人都必須到當地警察局登記。」
這裡需要一個介系詞來表示時間的範圍。
(A) About:大約。

前後兩個句子之間是轉折關係。雖然大多數人開車,但情況是「儘管如此」,騎自行車的人數也在增加。
(A) In addition:此外,表示並列或補充。

Passage #1
In college students have vast (21) ____ of reading for every course. (22) ____ your only strategy is to read everything, on word at a time, you will never succeed because the process will take too long. It is (23) ____ for people that the most effective strategy for increasing reading speed is to avoid reading every word. If you just want to know (24) ____, a text is worth reading in more detail, you can survey the text by reading the general information such as the author's title, introduction, etc. This process of getting an interview is good shining.

Select the best word to complete the sentence.
- A. numbers
B. amounts
C. pages
D. text
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
核心觀念
本題考查名詞用法與數量量詞的搭配(Quantifiers and Collocations),特別是「可數名詞」與「不可數名詞」在搭配修飾詞時的區別。
句中空格後的受詞為 reading(名詞,此處指「閱讀量、閱讀材料」),為不可數名詞(Uncountable Noun)。考生必須掌握各數量名詞修飾不同名詞屬性的規則:
- a number / numbers of + 複數可數名詞
- an amount / amounts of + 不可數名詞
解題方法
- 分析空格語境與句型結構:
原句為:In college students have vast (21) ____ of reading for every course.
空格前有形容詞 vast(龐大的、大量的),空格後接介系詞片語 of reading。 - 判斷名詞屬性與慣用搭配:
reading 在此代表大學各門課程所指派的「閱讀份量/功課」,屬於抽象的總稱不可數名詞。
當修飾不可數名詞時,表示「大量」的固定搭配應為 vast amounts of + 不可數名詞。 - 比對各選項:
只有 amounts 能與 of 連用且專門修飾不可數名詞,故為唯一合適的正解。
選項分析
- A. numbers(錯誤)
number / numbers 只能用於可數名詞複數(如 vast numbers of books / articles)。不可用來搭配不可數名詞 reading。

這裡需要一個連接詞來引導一個條件句或假設句。
(A) While:雖然 (表示對比)。
(B) Because:因為 (表示原因)。
(C) Although:雖然 (表示對比)。

這裡需要一個詞來連接前面的內容(逐字閱讀太慢)和後面的建議(避免逐字閱讀)。
(A) therefore:因此 (表示因果)。
(B) however:然而 (表示轉折)。
(C) likewise:同樣地 (表示相似)。
(D) essential:必要的、必不可少的 (形容詞)。
前面的句子說明了逐字閱讀的缺點(太慢),而後面的句子提出了解決方案(避免逐字閱讀)。

In college students have vast (21) ____ of reading for every course.

Select the best word to complete the sentence.
(A) somewhat

登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
核心觀念
本題考查名詞子句與連接詞的用法。空格位於:
If you just want to know (24) ____ a text is worth reading in more detail, you can survey the text...
結構為:
空格後面的完整子句為:
a text is worth reading in more detail
其中主詞是 a text,動詞是 is,句意是在詢問「一篇文章是否值得更仔細閱讀」。
因此需要填入表示「是否」的 whether。
解題方法
將選項代入句中:
If you just want to know whether a text is worth reading in more detail, you can survey the text...
句意為:
如果你只想知道一篇文章是否值得更仔細閱讀,就可以藉由閱讀作者標題、導言等一般資訊來瀏覽文章。
whether A 可引導名詞子句,表示「是否 A」。此處作為 know 的受詞,文法與語意皆正確。
完整句型如下:
選項分析
(A) somewhat
somewhat 是副詞,表示「有些、稍微」,通常修飾形容詞或副詞,例如:
somewhat difficult
有些困難
代入後為:
know somewhat a text is worth reading...
句法不成立,且無法表達「是否」的意思,因此錯誤。
(B) whether
whether 可作為疑問連接詞,引導名詞子句,表示「是否」。句中:

核心觀念
本題考查英文篇章中的「語意銜接」與「轉承副詞」用法,必須根據前後句的邏輯關係,判斷空格應填入表示承接、指示或因果的字。
前文先說明:
- 若只想掌握文章大意,可以略讀文章。
- 接著說明:若想找特定資訊,便可以掃讀或搜尋關鍵字、片語。
因此,空格需要表示「接著、那麼」的轉承語氣。
解題方法
依上下文可還原為:
If you only need to know the main idea, you can scan the text. Then, if you want to find specific information, you can scan or search the text for key words or phrases.
意思是:
如果只需要知道文章大意,可以快速瀏覽文章。接著,如果想找特定資訊,就可以掃讀或搜尋關鍵字、片語。
「Then」表示下一個情況或下一個步驟,與句中的「if you want to find specific information」搭配自然。
題幹目前呈現的「This (25) ____ if」有排版或轉錄缺漏;依選項與上下文,合理還原應為「Then, if you want to find specific information...」。

(A) that
(B) which
(C) what
(D) when
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
核心觀念
本題考「名詞子句」與疑問詞的用法。
空格位於:
As well as (28) ____, parts of the text may be useful.
其中 what you should read 是名詞子句,意思是「你應該閱讀的內容」。what 本身兼具兩種功能:
- 引導名詞子句;
- 在子句中代替「the thing(s) that」,作為
read的受詞。
因此:
As well as what you should read, parts of the text may be useful.
意思是:「除了你應該閱讀的內容之外,文章的部分內容也可能有用。」
解題方法
先觀察空格後方的結構:
___ you should read
should read 後面缺少受詞,因此空格必須填入能在名詞子句中作 read 受詞的字。
what 可形成完整的名詞子句:
what you should read
你應該閱讀的內容
整句的結構為:
As well as + 名詞子句, 主詞 + 動詞……
其中 what you should read 作為介系詞 as well as 的受詞,文法完整。
選項分析
(A) that
that 可引導名詞子句,但此處若填入 that:
As well as that you should read, parts of the text may be useful.
People favor a specific color for different reasons. Some like green, which reminds us of nature. Others may prefer blue because it is often associated with the sea, the sky, and maybe happy holidays! No matter which one we prefer, color affects how we feel. You can be “green with envy”—wishing you had what someone else has. Then, someone can feel (31) ____, gloomy or depressed. We choose colors to express our personal style. In response, furniture manufacturers offer a whole range of colors to choose to suit everyone’s taste. During the recent coronavirus pandemic, there was a rise in (32) ____ for intense, bright shades and patterns. This was referred to as “(33) ____ design,” which is aimed at helping lift our mood. Before the lockdown, when everyone was out and working, and we lived very busy lives, quite often people wanted a quiet place to come back to, so they had very pale colors in their house because that helped them unwind and (34) ____. But since the lockdown, a lot of people are putting (35) ____ colors in their home because they’re trying to relive the excitement at home.

Choose the best word to complete the sentence.
(A) red
(B) yellow
(C) blue
(D) green
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
核心觀念
本題考查顏色相關慣用語,以及根據句意判斷情緒的能力。英文中,顏色除了指實際色彩,也常用來表達情緒或狀態:
- blue 可表示憂鬱、沮喪。
- green with envy 表示嫉妒。
解題方法
空格後面的 gloomy or depressed 是關鍵線索,意思是「憂鬱或沮喪」。符合這個情緒的顏色慣用語是 feel blue,因此句子應填:
Then, someone can feel blue, gloomy or depressed.
前一句的 green with envy 已經用綠色表示嫉妒;本題接著以藍色表示憂鬱,兩個片語都是顏色的比喻用法。

(D) shopping
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
核心觀念
本題考查名詞的語意與搭配。句中「a rise in ____ for intense, bright shades and patterns」表示「對濃烈、明亮色調與圖案的需求增加」。常見搭配是 a rise in demand for something,意為「對某物的需求上升」。
解題方法
先看空格後的介系詞 for:空格應填入能與 for 搭配、表示人們想要某些色彩的名詞。再依句意判斷,疫情期間人們更想用鮮明色彩提振心情,因此增加的是對這些色彩的需求。
選項分析
- (A) supply 供給:指市場上可提供的數量,通常搭配 supply of。句中談的是消費者對色彩的需求,故不合。

登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
核心觀念
本題考查字彙的語境判讀與搭配。作答時要看空格前後的線索,判斷該詞是否符合文意。「helping lift our mood」表示「幫助提振心情」,因此空格中的詞應與愉快、正向的情緒相符。
解題方法
前文提到疫情期間,人們更喜歡強烈、明亮的色彩與圖案;後文說這種設計的目的在於提振心情。兩處線索都指向正向、愉快的感受,因此「happy design」最符合文意。

Choose the best word to complete the sentence.
(A) excite
(B) cheer up
(C) relax
(D) get energized
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
核心觀念
本題考查依據上下文判斷字義,以及動詞搭配。空格前的線索是「回到家後想要一個安靜的地方」,前文也提到淡色有助於放鬆心情。因此,空格應填入表示「放鬆」的動詞,與 unwind(放鬆、舒緩身心)語意相近。
解題方法
句子的意思是:封鎖前,人們生活忙碌,常想回到一個安靜的地方;家中使用淡色,是因為那有助於他們舒緩身心並進一步放鬆。
unwind and relax 是語意自然的搭配;句中的 helped them 後接動詞原形,因此選項須以原形動詞填入。符合上下文的是 relax。

Choose the best word to complete the sentence.
(A) paler
(B) darker
(C) brighter
(D) cooler
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
核心觀念
本題考查上下文線索與前後對比。解題時要比較句子中「封鎖前」與「封鎖後」人們選擇居家顏色的目的:
- 封鎖前,人們生活忙碌,回家想要安靜、放鬆,因此使用很淡的顏色。
- 封鎖後,人們想在家中重現興奮感,因此選擇能營造活潑、明亮氣氛的顏色。
解題方法
空格所在句以 But since the lockdown 轉折,表示封鎖後的居家色彩選擇,與前文「很淡的顏色幫助放鬆」形成對比。句尾提到人們想在家中重現興奮感,因此空格應填能表達鮮明、活潑感受的顏色。

解題方法
依原卷第 4 頁,空格前說明維持健康生活有身體上的好處,空格後指出適當運動與均衡飲食能幫助人們維持苗條健美的體態。後句是在列舉健康生活帶來的具體好處,因此應使用表示「例如」的連接詞。

核心觀念
本題考語意銜接詞。要判斷空格前後的句意關係:是轉折、補充、結果,還是表示「很可能」。
解題方法
原卷第 4 頁的 Passage 4 寫到:維持健康生活有助於減少疾病風險;接著以「With better health」承接,說健康生活會帶來更多精力,並使人更有生產力。這裡需要表達前述健康狀況所帶來的結果,因此選表示「因此」的 thus。
選項分析
- (A) nevertheless:錯誤。 表示「然而」,用於轉折;此處前後是因果承接,沒有轉折。
- (B) moreover:錯誤。 表示「此外」,用於補充同方向資訊;本句的重點是健康帶來精力的結果。

解題方法
依原卷圖,句子為:「keeping a healthy lifestyle (37) ____ give people more energy (38) ____ they become more productive in life.」第 38 格後接完整子句 they become more productive in life。前句提到健康生活帶來更多活力,後句則是活力所促成的結果,因此選用可表達結果的 so that。

核心觀念
本題考「限定詞與冠詞」的用法。單數可數名詞前通常需要限定詞;another 可放在單數可數名詞前,表示「另一個、再一個」。
解題方法
依原卷圖,前文已提到健康生活帶來的多項身體益處,包括身材精實、降低疾病風險、增加精力、提升工作效率,以及平均壽命較長。空格後是 physical benefit,句意是再補充一項益處:人們會注意到皮膚看起來更健康。因此應填表示「另一項」的限定詞。
選項分析
- (A) The:表示特定且已知的事物。此處是在前述多項益處之外補充一項,沒有指向某一項特定益處,故不合。
第 Part 4 題20 分
Write an essay of approximately 300 words in English. Give your essay a title, and include the following:
(a) How the different aspects of your life, e.g. lifestyle, study, interpersonal relationships, etc., have changed because of COVID-19; and
(b) Personal reflection from this experience.
The maximum score for your essay is 20%. You receive 10 points for content, and another 10 for form such as vocabulary, grammar, sentence variety, and writing skills.
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
核心觀念
本題是英文引導式短文寫作,評量重點分成兩部分:內容占 10 分,須說明 COVID-19 對生活各面向的改變,並提出個人反思;形式占 10 分,評量詞彙、文法、句型變化與組織能力。題目沒有唯一標準答案,重點是內容具體、前後連貫,且兩項要求都有充分回應。
解題方法
可採「生活改變 → 具體影響 → 個人反思」的順序安排全文。先選擇兩至三個容易舉例的面向,例如學習方式、日常作息與人際互動;接著說明改變如何影響自己;最後從經驗中提出學到的事,以及未來會如何調整。這樣能兼顧題目指定的生活變化與個人反思,也能避免只羅列事件、缺少分析。
以下範文以學生經驗為例,篇幅約 300 字:
Learning to Live with Change
The COVID-19 pandemic changed nearly every part of my daily life. Before it began, I went to campus every day, studied in the library, and met friends between classes. When schools moved online, my bedroom became a classroom. I attended lectures through a screen and completed assignments at home. Although online learning saved commuting time, it also demanded more self-discipline. Without a teacher nearby, I had to plan my schedule carefully and resist distractions.
My lifestyle changed as well. I spent more time indoors and exercised less, so I often felt tired and restless. To stay healthy, I began taking short walks and following a regular sleep schedule. My relationships also took on a different shape. I could no longer meet friends freely, and conversations shifted to messages and video calls. At first, these exch
