精解
1.此處空格應選(A)理由:
此處that是關係代名詞,等於which,代替先行詞something,並作wear(穿著)的受詞,that she can wear是形容詞,修飾something,故屬正確的用法。
something that she can wear
她可以穿的鞋子
=something which she can wear
=shoes that she can wear
2.此處空格應選(C)理由:
空格前後各置一子句,兩個子句須以連接詞連接。(A)、(B)、(C)、(D)均為連接詞,唯:
(A)because 因為
(B)although 雖然
(C)so 因此
(D)for 因為 (= because)
按語意,此處(C)應為正選。
3.此處空格應選(B)理由:
空格前有助動詞won't(將不會),故空格應置原形動詞。(A)、(B)、(C)、(D)均為原形動詞,唯:
(A)catch vt. 抓住
(B)match vt. 搭配
=go with.......
例:This tie matches your shirt.=This tie goes well with your shirt.
這條領帶與你的襯衫很搭配。
(C)borrow vt.(向人)借
(D)aim vi. 瞄準(與at並用)
按語意,此處(B)應為正選。
4.此處空格應選(D)理由:本空格置於句首,應置連接詞,用以連接兩句。(A)、(B)、(C)、(D)均為連接詞,唯:
(A)Whatever...... 不論什麼……
例:Whatever he says, I don't believe him. = No matter what he says, I don't believe him.
不論他說什麼,我都不相信他。
(B) However...... 不論多麼地……
例:However nice he is, I don't like him. = No matter how nice he is, I don't like him.
不論他多麼好,我就是不喜歡他。
(C) Wherever....... 不論何處……
例:Wherever you go, I'll follow you.=No matter where you go, I'll follow you.
不論你到何處,我都跟你走。
(D)Whenever...... 不論何時……
例:Whenever I see him, he is studying. = No matter when I see him, he is studying.
我不論何時看到他,他都在讀書。
按語意,此處(D)應為正選。
5.此處空格應選(C)理由:
a....because the people selling the shoes talk about......=.......because the people who sell the shoes talk about......
……因為那些賣鞋的人會談論……
b.凡關係代名詞who、which在所引導的形容詞子句作主詞,且之前無逗點時,多可化簡為分詞片語,原則如下:
1)刪除關係代名詞
2)之後的動詞變成現在分詞
3)動詞若為be動詞,改成現在分詞being後,可予省略
例:The man who is talking to my father is my teacher. = The man talking to my father is my teacher.
跟我爸爸談話的那個人是我老師。
c.故...... because the people who sell the shoes talk about.......=......because the people selling the shoes talk about......
