精解
1.此處空格應選(B)理由:
a.be interested in堔堔堔堔堔堔
對……有興趣
例:Are you interested in music
你對音樂有興趣嗎?
b."be interested in堔堔堔堔堔堔"為固定用法,故(B)應為正選。
2.此處空格應選(C)理由:
空格前後各有一個子句,因此須有連接詞來連接。此處四個選項均為連接詞:because(因為),though(雖然),when(當),until(直到), 但根據語意,填入when始有意義,故
(C)應為正選。
3.此處空格應選(C)理由:
a.人 + used to V 某人以前曾……
人 + be used to Ving
某人已習慣……
例:I used to live in the country.
我以前曾住在鄉下。
She is used to living in the country.
她已習慣住在鄉下。
b."人 + used to V"為固定用法,故(C)應為正選;(A)應改為used to go;(B)、(D)應改為was used to going 則符合用法。
4.此處空格應選(D)理由:
a.ready a. 準備好的
be ready to V 準備好……
例:I'm not ready to get married.
我還沒做好結婚的準備。
b.mad a. 瘋狂的

d.busy a. 忙碌的
e."be ready to V"為固定用法,故(D)應為正選。
5.此處空格應選(D)理由:
a.本題為強勢句構之應用。所謂「強勢句構」即是句首以it強調介詞片語或副語子句,其句構如下:
It is/was +時間副詞+ that子句
例:It was in 1981 that I began to study English.
我是在一九八一年開始學英文的。
It was because he was lazy that he failed.
他是因為懶惰而失敗的。
b.空格前有it was then,其中then為時間副詞,等於at that time(那時),後面應接that引導的名詞子句形成強勢句構,故(D)應為正選。
