3. 試題檢討 (1):閱讀- Tense 時態 • Since the time adverbial “last year ”is located inside the 2nd clause, therefore it is used to modify the 2nd clause rather than the 1st one. 因此，第二個動詞必須為過去式。”remember ”不受影響，因為它位於第一個子句裡面。(注意: 時間副詞是判斷時態的另一個方法) • “B”和”C”時態上都對，但是語意上有所差別 1.) see:to meet or come into contact with someone, or to visit a place 2.)meet: to see and speak to someone for the first time 因此，在這一題”meet”較為符合此題的語境。

4. 試題檢討 (1):閱讀- Phrasal Verb動詞片語 • run sth by sb phrasal verb INFORMAL to tell someone about something so that they can give their opinion about it: e.g.Would you run your idea by me one more time? • 遇到不熟的片語的時候，儘量從動詞可能的關聯意義去推衍。譬如”run”有operate(執行)的意思，可能和idea放在一起 • 除此之外，此句絕非被動句，沒有be動詞或相關的動詞來表現被動語態。因此動詞必須是主動，而且文義必須能從主動態的動詞推衍出來。

5. 試題檢討 (1):閱讀- Contextual Clues • The meaning of “sector” is mostly referred to as “部門”, while in English as “a part of an area of activity, especially of a country’s economy. Hence, the English one fits this blank according to it context. • 雖然(B)和(D)在此題都可符合題意，但是(B)的選項最為適合。因為”prop up”定義為”to help sth that is having difficulties”,根據此題的背景為”during a recession”,這就是它的difficulty所在。

6. 試題檢討 (1):閱讀-Part of Speech 詞性 • 根據句子裡的位置來決定詞性(part of speech) ，是作答的策略之一。在這題，could助動詞之後必須接原形動詞，因此選項(B)和(C)不列入考慮。根據句意選擇 (D)最符合題意。 • expedite:definition: to make a process happen more quickly

7. 試題檢討 (1):閱讀- Contextual Clues[the answer repeated] • “as” 的意義作 ”如同/就像” 解釋的時候(A=B)，相對位置上的名詞都會有對應關係。譬如此題的”route”會和 Teipei-HongKong X有相似之處/或定對應關係 。A到D的選項都有「路」的意思，但是其詞組搭配以及意思不相同(as shown below)。因此選項(D)最切合題意，意為台北到香港行程(fixed)。 • plane: a plane making a particular journey • path: a way or track that is built or is made by the action of people walking • route:a fixed way along which a bus, train, etc. regularly travels or goods are regularly sent

8. 試題檢討 (1):閱讀Paraphrase • 改寫(paraphrase)是閱讀測驗常出現的另一種題型，因此閱讀時要懂得”換句話說” 。 • 譬如此題第二段”within 10 days of the original delivery date”說明10天之內貨品會抵達。

9. 試題檢討 (2):聽力Clues from Passiveness • “quarantine”(隔離)在聽力上是個艱深的字，但是文中相關的訊息可以幫助我們選答案。 • “have to”表示”obligation”因此選項(B)和( C)不列入考慮。 • 被動態”to be held”表示被某種強制。特別是動詞”hold” ，當被動時，多表示被強制在某種狀態(“be kept)。

10. 試題檢討 (2):聽力Clues from Fixed Sentence Pattern • 即使不知道phrasal verb “get at”的意思，但是 “not sure what …”implies a need for clarification, repetition or further details.因此選項( C)符合clarification and further detail. • get at sb/sth:to reach sb/sth; to gain access to sb/sth:

11. 試題檢討 (2):聽力 Clues from Prepositional Phrase • 雖然聽力過程不能立即知道”stream”的意思，但是介系詞片語”out of”具有”away”意思。 - out of: away from the inside of a place or thing:

12. 試題檢討 (2):聽力 Clues from Key Word • Key word “conspiracy ”與選項(D)的”secret”相呼應 。 • 注意:“as well”通常之前的訊息會呼應前一句(或前兩句)的訊息。因此作閱讀測驗的時候，要注意句子之間的連貫性(coherence)。

13. 試題檢討 (2):聽力Contextual Clues • Even if the text doesn’t directly specify the factor regarding why every hotel is full, but “the business conference” implies a gathering of business people.

14. 試題檢討 (2):聽力Pronoun-binding in conversationalcontext/Speaker’s viewpoint • “Our company ”suggests a relation between the speaker and the listener, which should be either employer-employee, employer-employee, or vice versa. 因此選項(C)is excluded. • 因此在做聽力測驗的時候，利用代名詞的使用來決定speaker和listener之間的關係。作答上絕對有很大的幫助。 • outsourcing production, refer to有用的字彙

15. 試題檢討 (3):勘誤 • Answer:(A ). • However, to a certain extent,(D) seems proper as well.Supposing Jack uses their computer without asking them in advance, so both of them feel irritated. • Particularly, in (D) “as well” implies that both the speaker and the listener encounter the same problem.”Please talk to him about it” in( D)suggests that the listener agrees that the speaker needs to do so. • Therefore, ( A) is the best, but ( D) is proper.
