    (A) 從什麼時候?

  • 3

    (B) 快到了。 (C) 沒問題。

    解題線索:播放問題的關鍵字為 can’t talk right now(現在不方便說話),因此題目是在告知來電者目前不方便通話,並詢問對方能否接受稍後回撥電話。

    回答應為接受或拒絕此提議,故正確答案為 (C) No problem.(沒問題。)。 (A) Since when?(從什麼時候?)題目並非詢問對方某事的起始時間,

    故選項 (A) 不正確。(B) Almost there.(快到了),題目並非詢問是否將抵達某處,不符合文意,故選項 (B) 不正確。

    第 5 題 (A) I got it from my grandparents. (B) L-I-N-D-Y. (C) My name is Lindy. 錄音內容:How do you spell your name, Lindy? 題目翻譯:琳蒂,妳的名字怎麼拼?

    (A) 我從我祖父母那裡拿到的。 (B) L-I-N-D-Y。 (C) 我的名字叫琳蒂。

    解題線索:播放問題的關鍵字為 spell(拼字),因此題目為詢問琳蒂的名字怎麼拼,故回答應為 (B) L-I-N-D-Y.,說明名字的拼法。

    (A) I got it from my grandparents.(我從我祖父母那裡拿到的。)題目並非詢問對方某東西的來源,故選項 (A) 不正確。(C) My name is Lindy.(我的名字叫琳蒂。),相對應的問句應為 What’s your name?,故選項 (C) 不正確。

    第 6 題 (A) Sorry. I need it right now. (B) Thanks. You’re very nice. (C) I already have one. 錄音內容:Excuse me. Can I use your computer? 題目翻譯:不好意思。我可以用你的電腦嗎?

    (A) 抱歉。我現在需要用它。 (B) 謝謝。你人真好。 (C) 我已經有一台了。

    解題線索: 播放問題的關鍵字為 Can I use your computer?(我可以用你的電腦嗎?),因此題目為詢問能否使用對方的電腦,可能的回答為同意對方

    使用;或不同意,故正確答案為 (A) Sorry. I need it right now.(抱歉。我現在需要用它。)

  • 4

    (B) Thanks. You’re very nice.(謝謝。你人真好。)此選項應為對方同意後的致謝回應,但題目為徵詢使用許可,而對方尚未表示同意借用,故

    不正確。(C) I already have one.(我已經有一台了。),題目為借用電腦,回答自己已經有一台電腦,文意前後矛盾,故不正確。

    第 7 題 (A) Give me five more minutes. (B) It’s not early enough. (C) The taxi driver will be late. 錄音內容:Hurry up! We’re late. The taxi is waiting. 題目翻譯:快一點!我們遲到了。計程車在等了。

    (A) 再給我五分鐘。 (B) 還不夠早。 (C) 計程車司機會晚到。

    解題線索:播放問題的關鍵字為 Hurry up! We’re late.(快一點!我們遲到了。),因此題目為催促對方加快速度,回答 (A) Give me five more minutes.(再給我五分鐘。)合乎文意,為正確答案。

    (B) It’s not early enough.(還不夠早。)題目已說明 We’re late.,若回答此選項,文意前後矛盾,故不正確。 (C) The taxi driver will be late.(計程車司機會晚到。),題目中提到 The taxi is waiting.(計程車在等了。),表示計程車已經到了,故此選項不正確。

    第 8 題 (A) I can’t believe you got the job! (B) What a small world! (C) You’re really lucky! 錄音內容:I can’t believe it! I won two plane tickets from Taipei to London. 題目翻譯:我不敢相信!我贏得兩張台北到倫敦的機票。

    (A) 我不敢相信你獲得工作了! (B) 世界真小! (C) 你真的很幸運!

    解題線索:播放問題的關鍵字為 I won two plane tickets from Taipei to London.(我贏得兩張台北到倫敦的機票。),題目陳述贏得兩張機票,合乎邏輯的回

    應為 (C) You’re really lucky!(你真的很幸運!)表達對此事的意見,為正確答案。

    (A) I can’t believe you got the job!(我不敢相信你獲得工作了!)題目為贏得機票,並非獲取工作,故 (A) 不正確。(B) What a small world!(世界真小!)通常用以回應巧遇某人,或表示巧合之意,故於此處文意不

  • 5

    合,亦不正確。 第 9 題 (A) I’ll be out in a minute. (B) Sorry. Let me help you. (C) You don’t have much time. 錄音內容:Jack, I need to use the bathroom. You’ve been in there for hours. 題目翻譯:傑克,我需要用浴室。你已經在裡面好久了。

    (A) 我馬上就出來。 (B) 抱歉。讓我幫你。 (C) 你沒有那麼多時間。 解題線索:播放問題的關鍵字為 I need to use the bathroom. You’ve been in there for hours.(我需要用浴室。你已經在裡面好久了。),題目指出需要使用浴室,選項 (A) 回答 I’ll be out in a minute.(我馬上就出來。)為合乎邏輯之回應,為正確答案。 (B) Sorry. Let me help you.(抱歉。讓我幫你。)題目為叫傑克空出浴室,而非尋求協助,故 (B) 不正確。(C) You don’t have much time.(你沒有那麼多時間。)為與題目無關之敘述,答非所問亦非正解。

    第 10 題 (A) I’m happy to hear that. (B) That’s a good idea. (C) That’s too bad. 錄音內容: W: Can you go shopping with us on Saturday? M: I’d love to, but I have to go to school. 題目翻譯: 女子:你星期六能和我們一起去購物嗎?

    男子:我很樂意,但我得去上學。 (A) 我很高興聽到這個回答。 (B) 那是個好主意。 (C) 真可惜。

    解題線索: 女子提到 Can you go shopping with us on Saturday?(你星期六能和我們一起去購物嗎?)而男子回答 I’d love to, but I have to go to school.(我很樂意,但我得去上學。),由於男子並未接受女子的邀約,因

    此女子可能的回應為 (C) That’s too bad. (真可惜。)以表示遺憾、惋惜之意。

    (A) I’m happy to hear that.(我很高興聽到這個回答。),而題目中的男子無法赴約,故 (A) 不正確。(B) That’s a good idea.(那是個好主意。)用以回應贊同或附和某意見,與此處文意不合,亦非正解。

    第三部分:言談理解(第 11-21 題) 第 11 題 (A) Coffee. (B) Water. (C) Tea. 錄音內容: W: Which one do you like, tea, coffee, or water? M: Water, please. My doctor does not want me to drink coffee and tea. Q: What does the man want? 題目翻譯: 女子:你想要哪一個,茶、咖啡還是開水? 男子:開水,謝謝。我的醫生不希望我喝咖啡和茶。

    問題:男子要什麼? (A) 咖啡。 (B) 開水。 (C) 茶。

    解題線索: 題目關鍵字詞為 Water, please. My doctor does not want me to drink coffee and tea.(開水,謝謝。我的醫生不希望我喝咖啡和茶。),可知男子要開水,因為醫生建議他不要喝咖啡和茶,故正確答案為 (B)。 由男子回答可知,(A) Coffee.(咖啡。)與 (C) Tea.(茶。)皆為醫生不建議的選項,故非正確答案。

    第 12 題 (A) Shoes. (B) A ball. (C) A dress. 錄音內容: G: Dad, I want to buy a pair of “rockets.” M: Don’t you already have three pairs of shoes? G: Yes, but “rockets” are different. All the sports stars wear them. Q: What are “rockets”? 題目翻譯: 女孩:爹地,我想要買一雙「火箭」。 男子:妳不是已經有三雙鞋子了嗎? 女孩:是啊,但「火箭」不一樣。所有的運動明星都穿它們。

    問題:什麼是「火箭」? (A) 鞋子。 (B) 一顆球。 (C) 一件洋裝。

    解題線索: 女孩說想要一雙「火箭」,而男子回答 Don’t you already have three pairs of shoes? (妳不是已經有三雙鞋子了嗎?),可知 “rockets” 為一款

  • 7

    鞋子的名稱,故答案為 (A) 鞋子。 女孩提到All the sports stars wear them.(所有的運動明星都穿它們。) 因此 (B) A ball.(一顆球。)、(C) A dress.(一件洋裝。)並非適合選 項。 第 13 題 (A) The skirt will be on sale next week. (B) The skirt is too expensive for her to buy. (C) The skirt is too long for her. 錄音內容: W: Oh! Look at this special yellow skirt. Just three thousand dollars. M: It’ll cost you an arm and a leg. You only make ten thousand dollars a month. Q: When the man tells the woman, “It’ll cost you an arm and a leg,” what does he mean? 題目翻譯: 女子:噢!看看這件別緻的黃色裙子。只要三千元。 男子:它會讓妳的荷包大失血。妳一個月只賺一萬元。 問題:當男子跟女子說 It’ll cost you an arm and a leg,他是什麼意

    思? (A) 那件裙子下週會特價。 (B) 那件裙子對她來說太昂貴了。 (C) 那件裙子對她來說太長了。

    解題線索: 女子提到裙子的價錢為三千元,而男子回答妳一個月只賺一萬元。可知 cost you an arm and a leg 表示「所費不貲、價錢昂貴」之意,故答案選 (B)。

    對話中並未提到裙子下週會特價,以及裙子長度的問題,故(A)、(C)皆非正解。on sale 指「拍賣;特價」之意。

    第 14 題 (A) Ask for her money back. (B) Choose a different book. (C) Wait for the new order. 錄音內容: W: Excuse me, sir. I bought this book yesterday and found one page missing. Can I have a new one?

    Q: What is the woman going to do? 題目翻譯: 女子:不好意思,先生。我昨天買了這本書,發現有一頁不見了。我

    能換一本新的嗎? 男子:讓我看看。我很抱歉。這本書已經賣完了。不過我可以替您

    訂購一本新的,如果您不介意多等待五天的話。 女子:噢!時間有點久。 男子:或者您可以選擇其它相同價錢的書。 女子:好,我想我會那麼做。

    問題:女子即將要做什麼事? (A) 要求退款。 (B) 選一本不同的書。 (C) 等待新訂購的書。

    解題線索: 男子建議女子可訂購新的書或選擇相同價錢的其它書籍,女子表示 I think I’ll do that,即 I think I’ll choose another book at the same price,可 見女子因為不想等待所以決定選另一本書,故答案為 (B)。 對話中並未提到退款這項建議,故 (A) 不正確,而女子最後選擇挑選

    另一本書,可知她不要等待新訂購的書,故 (C) 亦不正確。 第 15 題 (A) In a bank. (B) In a police station. (C) In a post office. 錄音內容: M: May I help you? W: Yes, I’d like to mail this package to Hong Kong. How much should I pay? M: Let me check. Could you write down your name and phone number, please? W: Sure. M: What’s inside the package? W: Clothes and hats.

    (A) 在銀行。 (B) 在警察局。 (C) 在郵局。

    解題線索: 女子提到 I’d like to mail this package to Hong Kong.(我想要把這個包裹寄到香港。),而男子請女子寫下姓名及電話,並詢問包裹的內容物,

    可知兩人應在郵局內辦理郵寄包裹事宜,故正確答案為 (C) In a post office.。

    由對話內容可判斷場景為郵務辦理,因此 (A) In a bank.(在銀行。)、 (B) In a police station.(在警察局。),皆不正確。 第 16 題 (A) A museum that collects old things. (B) A supermarket that sells cheaper things. (C) A shop that sells old things. 錄音內容: W: Walter’s House is now open on Hope Street. When you shop at

    Walter’s House, you can find everything you need at low, low prices. Many of the old things in the store look like new. We have beautiful clothes, special toys, useful tools, and interesting books and CDs. You won’t think they were used before. Why spend lots of money buying new things? Stop by today, and you’ll find how wonderful old things are.

    Q: What is Walter’s House? 題目翻譯: 女子:華特之家在希望街上開幕了。當您在華特之家購物時,您能以最

    低的價格找到您所需的任何東西。在店鋪內,許多老舊物品看起來都像

    是新的一樣。我們有美麗的服飾、特別的玩具、有用的工具,以及有趣

    的書籍和 CD。您不會覺得它們是使用過的物品。為什麼要花大錢買新的東西呢?就在今天,來華特之家瞧瞧,您會發現老舊物品的美好。 問題:華特之家是什麼?

    (A) 一間收集舊物的博物館。 (B) 一家販售較便宜物品的超市。 (C) 一家販售老舊物品的商店。 解題線索: 題目關鍵字詞為 Many of the old things in the store look like new. (在店

    鋪內,許多老舊物品看起來都像是新的一樣。)及 You won’t think they were used before.(您不會覺得它們是使用過的物品。),可得知華特之家為一間販售各式舊物的二手商店,故正確答案為 (C)。

    題目中提到能以低廉的價格買到二手物品,故可知選項 (A) 博物館、(B) 超市,皆不正確。

    第 17 題 (A) She doesn’t really like it. (B) She is excited about it. (C) She knows nothing about it. 錄音內容: W: Ever since the shopping center opened here, our town has not been as quiet as before. Hundreds of people and cars come in every day. The traffic is terrible. M: Yeah. But it’s easier for us to buy things, isn’t it? W: I know the shopping center is convenient, but now my kids often ask me to take them there to buy things or have some food. Q: What does the woman think about the shopping center? 題目翻譯: 女子: 自從購物中心在這裡開業後,我們的小鎮便不再如以往那樣寧

    靜了。每天都有數以百計的的人潮與車輛湧入此地。交通狀況很糟糕。

    男子: 是啊。但是我們買東西也更加容易了,不是嗎? 女子: 我知道購物中心很方便,但現在我的孩子們時常叫我帶他們去

    那裡買東西或吃飯。 問題: 女子認為購物中心如何?

    (A) 她並不是很喜歡購物中心。 (B) 她對購物中心感到雀躍。 (C) 她對購物中心一無所知。

    解題線索: 女子提到 Ever since the shopping center opened here, our town has not been as quiet as before .(自從購物中心在這裡開業後,我們的小鎮便不再如以往那樣寧靜了。)、The traffic is terrible.(交通狀況很糟糕。),由此可判斷女子並不喜歡購物中心,故答案選 (A)。

    題目提到購物中心開業後,人車大量湧入該城鎮造成交通壅塞,可知女子對此並不感到雀躍,故 (B) 不正確。女子談論到購物中心的優缺點,可見她對購物中心並非一無所知,故 (C) 亦不正確。

    第 18 題 (A) He got lost in the train station. (B) He got off at the wrong station. (C) He took the wrong train. 錄音內容: M: Excuse me. Is this train going to Pettin? W: I’m afraid we’re going north.

    在之後的哪一站下車? 女子:我們已經接近艾文了。你可以在那裡下車。 男子:謝謝。 問題:男子發生了什麼事?

    (A) 他在火車站內迷路了。 (B) 他下錯車站了。 (C) 他搭錯火車了。

    解題線索: 男子向女子詢問該火車是否開往佩頓,女子回答 I’m afraid we’re going north.(我恐怕我們正在往北開。)及男子後續所說 Oh, no! I should go south. I need to be in Pettin by eleven.(噢,不!我應該要往南的。我需要在十一點前到佩頓。),可知男子搭錯火車了,故正確答案為 (C)。

    題目並未提到男子在車站內迷路,故 (A) 不正確。而男子是搭錯火車並非下錯車站,因此 (B) 亦不正確。

    第 19 題 (A) She may be too lazy. (B) She may not like him. (C) She may have to stay home. 錄音內容: (Ring.) W: Hello. M: Hey, Jenny. Do you want to go see a movie today? W: Hmm, I don’t think I can.

    由拒絕,最後女子說 I’m afraid I’m going to be busy all year.(我恐怕我一整年都會很忙。),可判斷女子可能不喜歡男子,因此不想和他去

    看電影,故選(B)。 題目中並未提到女子是否懶惰,故 (A) 不正確。題目中亦未提到女

    子需要待在家,故 (C) 亦不正確。 第 20 題 (A) 10:00. (B) 11:00. (C) 12:00. 錄音內容: (Ring. Ring. Beep.) W: Hello. This is Jenny. I just remembered the shop we’re going to

    won’t open until twelve tomorrow. If we meet up at eleven, we’ll have to wait for an hour. Can we meet up later? Please call me back before ten.

    們還要等一個小時。),可知珍妮不想要多等一小時,因此想要與朋友改

    約十二點商店已營業的時間碰面,故可知答案應選 (C)。 (A) 十點、(B) 十一點,她們預計前往的店家尚未開始營業,故皆非正

    確答案。

    題目翻譯:這件洋裝很漂亮,____ 穿在我身上不好看。 解題線索:前句提到 This dress is pretty(這件洋裝很漂亮),後句提到 it does not look good on me(穿在我身上不好看),可知空格處須填入轉折詞 but(但是),連接前後語意相反的句子,故選 (B)。 (A) so(所以;因此)用以連接具有因果關係的句子、(C) or(否則;或者)、(D) if(如果)通常用以表達條件,以上選項皆不符合文意。

    菜。)、“No experiments, no experiences.” is what she would say when her experiment did not turn out good, and I heard that a lot.(「經驗源自於實驗。」是我常聽到她實驗失敗後所說的話,而我常聽到那句話。),由此可知作者的母

    親不擅長做菜,因此答案為 (B) They cannot do it well.(他們不擅長做某事。)。 (A) They are famous for it.(他們以此聞名。):文中提到作者母親做菜時的名言為「經驗源自於實驗。」可知其不擅長烹飪;(C) They think it is important.(他們認為它很重要):文中並未提及某事的重要性;(D) They are not interested in it.(他們對它沒興趣。):文中並未明確指出作者母親對烹飪沒興趣,故以上均

    沒有水。此時,你會發現水在你的日常生活中有多麼重要。)。由此可知第一

    句的 The idea 即後面所指的水在日常生活中的重要性,故答案為 (A)。 (B) Water is not just about one’s everyday needs.(水不僅僅是人的日常所需。):

    此敘述並非第一句所指的 The idea,此為開啟第二段之引言,進一步說明水在其他地區的重要性;(C) It is nice to have a cool bath on a hot summer day.(在炎熱的夏日洗冷水澡是件很棒的事。):文中並無明確指出此敘述;(D) We should not take a bath when there is little water.(我們不該在缺水時泡澡。):文中並無提及此敘述,故以上均不正確。

    題目翻譯:文章主要在談論什麼? 解題線索:關鍵句子為 In countries like Tanzania, water is hard to get, and the job of collecting water falls on women’s shoulders. (在像坦尚尼亞這類國家中,水源的取得很困難,收集水源的工作都落在女人的肩上。)、More time spent collecting water means less time for learning. For these girls, “Knowledge is power” is not just words; it is a sad fact in real life.(花越多時間取水,意味著越少時間學習。對於這些女孩來說,「知識就是力量」這句話不僅僅是文字,而是現實生活中悲慘

    的事實。)。由此可知文章主要探討在坦尚尼亞因水源取得的重擔都肩負在女

    子身上,導致其學習時間縮減,而造成日後就業生存的困難,因此答案為(C) How water may play a part in one’s future.(水源可能如何影響一個人的未來。)。

    (A) Why it is important to save water.(為什麼省水很重要。):此非文章主旨;(B) How water may give a country power.(水源可能如何給予一個國家力量。):文章並未提及水源與一國國力之關係;(D) Why it is hard to get water in poor countries.(為什麼在貧窮國家水源取得很困難。):文章並未深入探討此點,故以上均不正確。

(C) Girls in countries like Tanzania are often paid less for the same job than the boys are. (D) Children from poor families are often kept from school to take care of younger children.

    題目翻譯:我們可從文章得知什麼? 解題線索:關鍵句子為 More time spent collecting water means less time for

    learning. (花越多時間取水,意味著越少時間學習。)、With less time spent at school, their chances of getting well-paid jobs are small, and they often have no voice in important matters, like who to marry. These girls are often married into poor families.(由於待在學校的時間比較少,她們取得待遇優渥的工作機會便更小,她們通常對重要的事情,像是結婚對象,也沒有發聲的權利。這些女孩

    常嫁到貧窮的家庭。)。由此可知女子在這類地區負擔取水重任,因此沒有足

    夠的學習時間,進而造成日後社會地位低落的惡性循環結果,故答案為 (B) Girls who spend little time at school have a harder life when they grow up.(女孩在

    學校的時間越少,其長大後的生活便更加艱辛。)。 (A) Children in poor countries die from drinking dirty water every day.(貧窮國家

    採行與坦尚尼亞家庭相同的取水方式,故最適合的圖表為 (D)(女孩取水時間皆高於男孩。)。 其餘圖表中男女的取水比例,皆不符合文中所述,故不正確。

    為什麼不接我電話)、 My cellphone is dead!(我的手機壞了!),由此可知選項(C) He called Amber without knowing her phone was not working.(他不知道安柏的手機壞了還打電話給她。)為正確答案。 (A) He forgot to meet Amber and Matt for lunch.(他忘了要和安柏跟麥特吃午餐。):對話中並未提到三人要一起吃午餐;(B) He did not know how to get to Amber’s apartment.(他不知道怎麼去安柏的公寓。):對話中凱斯提到他在安柏的公寓外等了一小時;(D) He did not know Amber left him a voice message this morning.(他不知道今天早上安柏留言給他。):凱斯提到他很確定安柏在留言中沒提到禮物的事,故可知他知道有留言,因此以上均為錯誤選項。

    34. Which sentence was most likely part of the message that Amber left Keith this morning? (A) “Matt and I will go to the party after lunch.” (B) “Don’t forget to buy a birthday gift for Liz.” (C) “You can go straight to the party from your office.” (D) “I need to talk to you about the party this weekend.” 題目翻譯:哪一個句子最可能是今早安柏留言給凱斯的內容? 解題線索:由安柏所說 I said I’d have lunch with Matt, and we’d come straight

    here from the restaurant. (我說我要跟麥特吃午餐,然後我們會直接從餐廳過來這裡。),由此可知選項 (A) “Matt and I will go to the party after lunch.”(麥特和我會在吃完午餐後去派對。)為正確答案。 (B) “Don’t forget to buy a birthday gift for Liz.”(別忘記買莉茲的生日禮物。):對話中提到禮物已經買好了;(C) “You can go straight to the party from your office.”(你可以直接從辦公室去派對。):對話一開始即提到要凱斯去麵包店買蛋糕;(D) “I need to talk to you about the party this weekend.”(我需要跟你談談這週末派對的事。):對話中並未提及週末派對,故以上均為錯誤選項。

(C) People are blind to problems that slowly get worse over time. (D) It is difficult to give up old habits, but easy to pick up new ones. 題目翻譯:我們能從 Froggie 的故事中得到什麼啟示?

    解題線索:此篇文章為一則動物寓言,說明青蛙跳進滾燙熱水中,因為能感覺

    到燙,便急忙地跳出逃生;但青蛙若待在冷水的鍋中被慢慢加熱,牠卻因無法

  • 34

    感知危險而及時逃離,等到牠發現時,卻已為時已晚,最終招致死亡。文章旨

    在說明安逸的環境使人喪失危機意識與應變能力,因此這則故事的啟示為 (C) People are blind to problems that slowly get worse over time.(人們看不見隨時間而逐漸惡化的問題。)。

    (A) Life is too short; one should live it to the fullest.(人生短暫;人應盡力活出生命的精彩。)、(B) Those who use their time well will win in the end.(善用時間者將成為最後的贏家。)、(D) It is difficult to give up old habits, but easy to pick up new ones.(放棄舊習很難,但培養新的卻很容易。)以上皆非文章寓意。

    36. What do we know about Froggie? (A) He learned to share what he liked with others. (B) He thought what he had hoped for became real. (C) He once almost lost a dear friend to a water snake. (D) He wanted to go back to the same pot for a hot bath. 題目翻譯:我們能得知關於 Froggie 的什麼事?

    解題線索:文中提到 Froggie 幾天後再度回到廚房,並跳進了冷水的鍋子內。He looked around and thought, “There’s no water snake trying to eat me and I can have this place all to myself!” At that moment, Froggie knew it was his dream pond.(他環顧四周並想著「這裡沒有水蛇會要吃掉我,我可以一個人獨占這個小天

    地!」在那時,Froggie 知道那裡就是他所夢想的池塘。),由此可知 (B) He thought what he had hoped for became real.(他以為他的夢想成真了。)為正確答案。 (A) He learned to share what he liked with others.(他學到與他人分享喜愛的事物。):文中並未提及與他人分享;(C) He once almost lost a dear friend to a water snake.(他曾一度差點因水蛇而失去摯友。):文中並未提到失去摯友;(D) He wanted to go back to the same pot for a hot bath. (他想要回到一樣的鍋子裡泡熱水澡。):文中提到 Froggie 一進到熱鍋裡便跳了出來,可知此敘述不正確,故以上均為錯誤選項。

  • 36

    題目翻譯:當某人 in a calamitous state 是什麼意思? 解題線索:關鍵句子為 To start with, the number of church-goers is dropping

    sharply.(首先,上教會的人數急遽下降。)、Another worrying fact is that fewer and fewer young people go to church, which leads to an older church.(另一個令人憂心的事實是,越來越少年輕人上教會,而導致教會老年化的現象。),由文章及

    圖表可知,以上兩點為教堂所面臨經營不善之問題,故正確答案為 (A) They have serious trouble.(他們面臨嚴重問題。)。

    (B) They try to change themselves.(他們試著改變自己。):文中並非指改變自身之意;(C) They are looking for a second chance.(他們在尋找第二次機會):文中並未提到尋找機會;(D) They lost interest in the outside world.(他們對外界失去興趣。):文中後續提到的轉型可知此敘述不正確,故以上均為錯誤選項。

    38. What can we learn about the church-goers from the report? (A) Between 1980 and 2005, few church-goers were younger than 50. (B) In 2010, only 6% of church-goers were younger than 50 years old. (C) In 2020, the percentage (%) of church-goers drops to lower than half that in

    1980. (D) Between 1980 and 2020, the rising number of old church-goers has led to an old

    church. 題目翻譯:從報導中我們可以得知關於去教堂的人何項訊息?

    解題線索:由圖表一可知,在一九八零年去教堂人的比例為百分之十一,而在二零二零年則下滑至百分之四點四,不到一九八零年的一半,故可知正確答案

    為 (C) In 2020, the percentage (%) of church-goers drops to lower than half that in 1980.(在二零二零年,去教堂人數的百分比低於一九八零年的一半。)。 (A) Between 1980 and 2005, few church-goers were younger than 50.(在一九八零年至二零零五年期間,少數去教堂人的年齡小於五十歲。):由圖表二可知一

    九八零年至二零零五年間去教堂人的年齡層平均在三十七到四十七歲之間;(B) In 2010, only 6% of church-goers were younger than 50 years old.(在二零一零年,去教堂的人之中僅有百分之六的年齡小於五十歲。):由圖表中無法得知

    此訊息;(D) Between 1980 and 2020, the rising number of old church-goers has led to an old church.(在一九八零年至二零二零年期間,持續上升的去教堂的老人比例,導致教會老年化。):文中提到越來越少的年輕人去教堂,才是教會老

    年化的原因,故以上皆為錯誤選項。 39. What is talked about in the report? (A) Where the church’s money goes. (B) How people decide to join a church. (C) What happens to churches that are closed.

  • 37

    (D) Why people have stopped going to church. 題目翻譯:報導中談論到什麼? 解題線索:文章開頭便提到現今教堂所面臨的營運問題,流失年輕的教會人口

    及教會老年化現象。並於後段中提到應對的方法:When the time comes for a church to close, there is little to do but to sell it.(當教堂要關閉時,唯一能做的事只有將它變賣。)、Some were changed into restaurants or school gyms, and some even became nightclubs, for example. Churches that had little luck were knocked down in the end.(舉例來說,有些被改成餐廳或學校體育館,有些甚至變成夜店。那些比較不走運的教堂,最後淪為被拆除的命運。),由此可知正確答案為

    (C) What happens to churches that are closed.(被關閉的教堂的下場)。 (A) Where the church’s money goes.(教堂的錢去哪裡了。):文中僅提及教會

    的營運有賴教友捐獻,並未說明金錢流向;(B) How people decide to join a church.(人們如何決定要加入教會。):文中並未提及人們加入教會的原因;(D) Why people have stopped going to church.(為什麼人們不再上教會了。):文中僅提及年輕教會人口流失,並未說明確切原因,故以上均為錯誤選項。

    40. Below are four findings from other reports. Which does NOT agree with the idea of the report? (A) “Reports show over 90% of church-goers go to church because their fathers do. In the last 20 years, 49% of men under 30 have left the church. That means there’s a 90% chance that their children won’t go to church. This is hard for the church to take in.” (B) “Between 2003 and 2010, over 1,000 new churches were built in the country. This may sound like good news. During the same years, however, more than 2,000 were closed.” (C) “In the report, 33% of the people that were interviewed say they never go to church and another 33% say they used to. Only 15% go to church at least once a month.” (D) “Of the 15 countries in the report, the percentage (%) of church-goers in some countries, like Denmark, is lower than 10%; in others, like Poland, the percentage is higher than 70%.” 題目翻譯:下列為其他報導的四項調查結果。哪一項與此篇報導的看法「不

    一致」? 解題線索:由此篇報導的文章內容及圖表可知,上教會的人口不斷下滑為

    本文所持的論點。而 (D) “Of the 15 countries in the report, the percentage (%) of church-goers in some countries, like Denmark, is lower than 10%; in others, like Poland, the percentage is higher than 70%.”(在報導中的十五個國家中,某些國家如丹麥,上教堂的人口比例低於百分之十;其他國家像是波蘭,

  • 38

    上教堂人數卻高於百分之七十。),波蘭的例子與本文論點不符,故為正

    確答案。 (A) “Reports show over 90% of church-goers go to church because their fathers

    do. In the last 20 years, 49% of men under 30 have left the church. That means there’s a 90% chance that their children won’t go to church. This is hard for the church to take in.”(報導指出超過九成以上的人去教會是因為他們的父親這麼做。在過去二十年間,百分之四十九年齡低於三十歲的男子都已離開教

    會。這表示約有九成的機率他們的孩子不會去教堂。教會難以接受這項事

    實。);(B) “Between 2003 and 2010, over 1,000 new churches were built in the country. This may sound like good news. During the same years, however, more than 2,000 were closed.” (在二零零三年至二零一零年間,在國內蓋了超過一千間新教堂。這聽起來可能是個好消息。然而,在這些年間,也

    有超過兩千間的教堂被關閉。);(C) “In the report, 33% of the people that were interviewed say they never go to church and another 33% say they used to. Only 15% go to church at least once a month.”(報導中,百分之三十三的受訪者表示他們從未上過教會;而另外百分之三十三的受訪者說他們過去會

    上教會。僅有百分之十五的人一個月至少會去一次教會。(A)、(B)、(C)三個選項的敘述皆符合本文的論點,故均非正確答案。
