第 98∼100 題出自以下的新聞報導A recent provincial government study has revealed that thousands of school-age children are working up to twelve hours a day in garbage dumps throughout India.(98) Families living in shantytowns on the city’s fringes are making a living through recycling.(99) This is a very labor-intensive industry, requiring long hours of often strenuous work.

由句意來看，本句的主詞應該是

Contract（合約）來與 details形成複合名詞，故答案為 (A)。雖然 (C) Contraction也是名詞，但其字義為「縮短」，不符合句意。

5:00 p.m. on Thursday表示時間期限，而 by （在⋯之前） 常做為表示期限的介系詞，因此答案為 (C) by。

本句的主句為 you are all welcome ...，在主句之前的部分是副詞片語，片語中的動詞須用分詞形式，而該

片語並無被動的含義，因此答案為

look forward to是慣用語，為固定用法，意為「期待」，後接名詞或

選項 (A) entirely似乎可以填入空格，但 entirely意為「完全地」，例如：They are entirely different.（它們完全不同），entirely不能用在年數之前；其他選項只有 (B) nearly （將近）適合填入空格。

本句後半的 Paul Robinson was ...採用的是過去式，表示過去的經歷，因此在語意上選擇 (B) Prior to（在⋯之前）最為適當。

associated必須與 with連用，而本題空格後的介系詞是 upon，因此選項 (B)不是正確答案；其他選項中，只有 (C) contingent（取決於）最適合填入空格。

從整體句意來判斷，答案應選 (B)Aside from（除了⋯之外）。選項 (A) Let alone的意思是「更不用說」，不符合句意。

本題空格之後的 update（更新）是動詞，因此前面需要用副詞來修

選項 (D) uniquely（獨特地）似乎也說得通，但不如選項 (A) exactly（正好）來得自然，因此答案為 (A)。

143. I will be sure to let you know about future promotional -------- for your business in Thompson.(A) examples (B) services(C) facilities (D) opportunities

▲

從上下文意來看，只有選項 (D) opportunities（機會）最為適合。選項 (C) facilities意為「設施」，不符合文意。

148. -------- experience as an administrative assistant in the PR or media industry is of value, it is not essential.(A) While (B) If(C) Whether (D) Since

▲

由於本句最後說本句前部所述的條件「不是必要的」（not essential），因此本句開頭該填入的是具有「雖然」之意的while，故答案為 (A) While。

▲

形容工作技能的熟練度常用 proficient（嫻熟的）一字，因此答案為 (C) proficient。

第 150∼152 題出自以下的消息：

150. The Sharp Tongue has -------- let the world in on the title of the group’s next album.(A) finally (B) ever(C) lastly (D) permanently

▲

由句意來判斷，本句空格該填入表示「終於」的副詞，因

此答案為 (A) finally（終於）。至於選項 (C) lastly，其意為 「最後」，通常只用於句首，尤其用來提醒對方接下來要說的

是最後一件事，因此 (C) lastly不適合填入本題的空格。

151. Terence Tyron and Co. have decided on Equalizers as the follow-up to 2004’s studio effort in Revolution, -------- the band’s manager, Shawn Lewinsky.(A) according to (B) depending on(C) in accordance (D) in compliance

▲

由句意可知，本句空格應填入表示「根據」的介系詞片

語，因此答案為 (A) according to（根據）。至於 (C) in accordance與 with連用時，意為「按照」，之後主要是接規定或制度，而 (D) in compliance則意為「遵照」，這兩個選項都不適合填入空格。

152. More details of the -------- as well as tour plans are expected to be made public in the coming weeks.(A) release (B) notice(C) confidence (D) availability

▲

唱片專輯的發行，不論是動詞或名詞，通常採用 release這個字，故答案為 (A) release（發行）。

Tongue at last Gives away Their New Album TitleThe Sharp Tongue has 150 finally let the world in on the title of the group’s next album.

Terence Tyron and Co. have decided on Equalizers as the follow-up to 2004’s studio effort in Revolution, 151 according to the band’s manager, Shawn Lewinsky.

The album is set to hit stores nationwide on November 17, while the first single, To Kill, will begin airing on the radio in two weeks.

Equalizers was produced by John Stack, whose extensive credits include The Stone, Evolution, The Girls, and The Party.

塑品，無論放置於公園、花園、博物館或私人家中，觀賞起來都同樣美好，因為它們原本就是被創造

為自然中的一景。

這一個月的免費入場期間，請來加入我們的下午茶，在這些雕塑之間好好放鬆。我們歡迎任何年齡的

孩童加入，但請您還是將寵物留在家中。

the work area(B) To provide a timetable for some office renovation

work(C) To thank employees for their support in the work(D) To prepare for an unexpected shipment delay

的安排，因此答案為 (B)。

162. Where will employees on the ground floor likely be on March 15?(A) The first floor (B) The second floor(C) The third floor (D) The fourth floor

Dear Officer-in-charge,

Being pleased with the quality of telephone service provided by Armstrong Telecom, I have been a happy customer of your company for more than 12 years. Your Internet service is something I would like to bring to your attention today.166 I started using a dial-up connection with Armstrong Telecom in the early days about 7 years ago when Internet access was a rising trend. Since the need for more speed arose, I signed up for your broadband service six months ago, expecting a tremendous improvement in Internet access speed. 165 The Internet bandwidth was within my expectations initially, but after a few months, every website I visited started to crawl like a snail. Your house-call engineer visited and checked my broadband wiring and assured me that everything was normal. He said the problem I faced was probably due to a sudden surge in Internet traffic.About 2 months ago, I called to complain again, only to get an answer that the company was upgrading some Internet networking devices. 165 I was patient and waited for the improvement, but the situation got even worse.167 I am now fed up, and, if the problem persists, I am seriously considering switching my Internet access provider. I am requesting that the solution to this problem be addressed immediately, or I will sign up with a new provider.Thank you.Alison Gail

親愛的負責人：

過去十二年多以來，我一直是阿姆斯壯電信公司的忠實客戶，對你們的電話服務品質感到滿意。不過關於你們的

網路服務是我今天想要提醒您的部分。

早在七年多前網路連線剛興起時，我便開始使用阿姆斯壯電信的撥接上網服務。而由於速度上的需求，六個月前

我開始採用你們的寬頻服務，期待在網路連線速度上有很大的改善。最初網路頻寬的確表現如我所期待，但幾個

月後，每個我所造訪的網站，連線的速度就如蝸牛在爬一般。你們的到府維修人員曾到我家檢查我的寬頻線路，

他保證一切正常；他說，我所碰到的問題可能是由於當時網路流量的瞬間提高。

大約兩個月前我再次打電話抱怨這個問題，得到的回覆是，公司正在更新某種網際網路設備。我耐心地等待有所

改善，但情況變得更糟。

現在我受夠了，如果這情況持續下去，我會認真考慮更換網路服務供應商。我要求馬上提出這個問題的解決辦

法，否則我將與新的供應商簽約。

謝謝。

第 168∼170 題出自以下的新聞報導：

168 GEM Computers has topped the Wall Street headlines with its organization-wide restructuring exercise. GEM Computers, a computer giant, sold its low margin competitive desktop division. In recent years, GEM Computers has spent billions of dollars investing in the desktop division, where low cost manufacturers have managed to stay at the top of the competition. 169 However, GEM’s desktop products have virtually stopped evolving and ceased making new products despite its heavy spending on R&D. This has caused the cash-stricken company to offer its loss-making division to Electronica. As one of the leading computer companies, Electronica paid $5 billion to buy the division. 170 The market deems this as more favorable to GEM, as it received more than what it deserves for the division. It is expected to pay off most of its multimillion dollar loans and avoid filing for bankruptcy for some time. Economists comment that GEM will start turning a profit as long as it keeps with its core products of mini computers and mainframe systems.

GEM電腦公司因大幅度的組織改組而登上華爾街的頭條新聞。GEM電腦這個電腦業的巨人，將其低利潤、高競爭的桌上型電腦部門售出。近年來，GEM電腦為桌上型電腦部門投入數十億元資金，但是低成本製造商依然在此領域佔了上風。儘管GEM電腦在研發上耗費大量資金，但是GEM的桌上型電腦產品卻幾乎不再推陳出新；這也讓這家缺乏現金的公司，將此賠錢部門出讓給Electronica。Electronica這家數一數二的電腦公司，花了五十億元購買該部門。市場認為，這對GEM是筆划算的交易，因為GEM所獲得的比它值得的更多。一般預期，GEM將能償還數百萬美元的大部分貸款，並且避免宣告破產。經濟學家認為，只要固守住它的核心產品──小型電腦與大型主機系統，GEM還是能重新獲利的。

MEMO

To: All StaffSubject: Mandarin speaking staff

Mr. Wang, a very distinguished guest who manufactures and distributes red wines in China, will visit us in New York next Monday. 182 Although Mr. Wang is well versed in written English, he has expressed concerns about his conversational skills since this will be his first visit to America.182 As Great Wall Red Wine is a potential big buyer of our grape products, we want to make his trip a memorable one. 181 I would like to extend an invitation to anyone who speaks Mandarin to assist Mr. Wang for the seven days he is in town in order to resolve any language barriers and avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings. I would prefer this person be a current employee of Sweety Grapes as he or she will have the added advantage of understanding our company’s working style and culture.

The job is simple. You will pick Mr. Wang up at the airport with some of our executives to welcome him. 185 You will serve as an interpreter during his visits and meetings in the office. We will also require your presence and assistance when we take him for meals and city tours on the weekend. For seven days, you may be required to attend social activities at night and on the weekend. 181 We hope that we can get someone from our team to assist us.

My sincere gratitude.Lucy Mayson (lucym@sweetygrapes.com)

備忘錄

寄至：所有員工

主旨：會說中文的員工

一位在中國生產並經銷紅酒的貴客王先生，下週一將造訪我們紐約辦公室。雖然王先生英文書寫流

利，但他卻表達了他對自身英語交談能力的擔憂，因為這是他第一次來到美國。

長城紅酒是我們葡萄產品的潛在大買家，我們希望王先生能對這趟旅程印象深刻。我想邀請能說中文

的員工，協助王先生這七天在市區的行程，消除所有語言的障礙，並且避免任何不必要的誤解。我希

望這位翻譯是甜美葡萄的現職員工，因為他／她才了解我們公司的工作模式與企業文化。

這份工作很簡單。你會與一些公司主管一同接機。在王先生造訪和開會期間，擔任他的翻譯。當我們

招待王先生用餐或是週末城市遊覽時，也需要你在場協助。在這七天當中，你需要在晚上和周末參與

一些社交活動。我們希望能從我們的團隊中找到這名幫手。

誠摯的感謝

露西‧梅森（lucym@sweetygrapes.com）

主旨：王先生的造訪

親愛的梅森女士：

假如您仍需要一名翻譯，我想我能幫得上忙。我是美國公民，但父母是中國人。成長於一個傳統的中

國家庭，在家中我們都說中文。中文交談和大部分的翻譯要求我都沒有問題，但若涉及一些專業術

語，我會需要查詞典。

下週的時間我都能夠空出來，除了週三的一次現場視察我得出席外。如果必要的話，我確定可以重新

安排那次視察的行程，以便王先生造訪的這段期間我都能配合他的各項行程活動。

你好，我在《每日新聞》上看到你的廣告。我剛搬到這個城市，而且有間全新、空的公寓。你的清單

馬上吸引了我的注意，因為你拍賣的這些物品正是我的新公寓所需要的。我需要些基本的日常物品，

假如我能夠拜訪並且看一看這些物品那就太好了。同時，能請你清楚描述你所提到的洗衣機的問題

嗎？我其實可以使用洗衣機，因為平常我得走五個街口到洗衣店洗衣。

我也想知道，假如我同時購買沙發、電視與洗衣機，你願意提供多少折扣？

第 196∼200 題出自以下的新聞報導和民意調查：

The millions of people in Kuala Lumpur who commute to work every day are fed up with their daily travels. 196 Many solutions to the traffic problems, including the introduction of a light rail system, more highways, and wider roads by the Transport Authority, have been proposed and implemented in recent years to ease the traffic situation. However, with unpredictable daily traffic jams, continuous road construction and congestion, and accidents, these solutions implemented by policymakers have not made much difference to commuters.197 This problem once again became more apparent from voting polls that were taken from The Straits Times and Berita Harian. They showed that the people are voicing their concerns to policymakers. Due to extensive media coverage, the authorities know the people of Kuala Lumpur are looking for answers. More than three-quarters of those polled indicated the traffic problem as the most urgent issue.

Simultaneously, 198 city planners are unwilling to propose a tax increment for new transport-ation projects because the issue of taxes has always been very sensitive. 200 This implicates a cut on other state projects or new bonds to be issued to fund a new transit system or rail system.

在吉隆坡，每天必須通勤上下班的數百萬人們，對於每天的交通旅程已經感到厭煩了。近幾年來，交

通當局已經提出並且實施了許多解決交通問題的方案，例如輕軌系統、建造更多公路和更寬廣的道

路，以便紓緩交通狀況。然而，每天發生的非預期交通堵塞、不斷的道路施工與塞車，以及車禍事

故，讓決策者所推行的這些解決方案對通勤者來說於事無補。

由《海峽時報》與《每日新聞報》合辦的民調更凸顯了這個問題。這份民調反映了人民正向決策者表

達他們的關心。由於媒體的大篇幅報導，官方知道吉隆坡的人民正在尋找答案。接受民調的人當中有

四分之三以上指出，交通問題是最急需解決的問題。

與此同時，城市規劃人員卻不太願意提出增稅以因應新的交通建設方案，因為稅務議題總是十分敏感

的。這也意味著，必須削減其他的政府建設方案的預算，或是發行新債券，好為新的運輸系統或鐵路

系統籌措資金。
