Part 1 Incomplete Sentences

101-120

101.In order to be considered for a__, an employee must prove he is an excellent worker
(A)vacation
(B)position
(C)promotion
(D)certificate
中译
为了能被考量,员工必须证明自已是优秀的人员。
(A)假期
(B)职位
(C)升迁
(D)证书
解答提示
此题的四个选项和“职场”或多或少都有关系,不过 vacation(假期)和 certificate(证书)的关连性较低,所以可以先排除这两个选项。剩下的两个选项中,如果选择 position(职位),须注意前面并没有任何形容词,会让句子失去意义,因此必须选择 promotion(升迁)才能完成这个句子。

<被动语态>
英文中的被动语态可以表现出“客观”的语气,所以在正式书面语言中常被使用,特别是商业书信为了避免过于直接、主观,更是大量使用被动语态。
被动语态:be+p.p.
常见用法:be considered (被认为是…)、be seen (被看成是)、be thought of (被想作是)…等。
102.If you have not passed your college entrance exam by August 31 st , 2013, your test scores will_, and you will not be able to retake the exam this year.
(A)expire
(B)retire
(C)expand
(D)include
中译
如果你在 2013 年 8 月 31 日前没有通过大学入学考试,你的测验成绩将会_,而且你今年将无法重考。
(A)到期
(B)退休
(C)扩充
(D)包括
解答提示
介系词 by 后面加上时间,通常都表示“期限”的含义,所以可以朝这个方向解题。加上选项(B)、(C)、(D)都和 test scores 无法形成有意义的组合,所以答案很明显就是(A)。
103.Due to inclement weather, the 1:00 p.m. race has been_.
(A)finished
(B)awarded
(C)postponed
(D)raced
中译
因为险恶的天气,下午一点钟的赛跑已经_了。
(A)结束
(B)颁奖
(C)延期
(D)比赛
解答提示
此题的重点在于须理解形容词 inclement(天气险恶的),一旦了解这个字,那么答案就很明显是 postponed(延期)了。
琐碎时间看这里
<被动语态现在完成式>
“被动语态”加上“现在完成式”的公式如下:
have/has+been+p.p.
Been 就是 be 动词的过去分词,所以整个公式的分析是:
Have/has+been 现在完成式
(be)+p.p.  被动语态
我们来看看下面的例子就会更清楚啰!
.The car is fixed by the mechanic.
→be 动词 is 改成现在完成式 has been
→The car has been fixed by the mechanic.
104.You all should have received an _ for this meeting.
(A)report
(B)agenda
(C)excuse
(D)reason
中译
你们应该都已经收到这场会议的_了。
(A)报告
(B)议程表
(C)借口
(D)理由
解答提示
此题可以用冠词来当线索,冠词是 an,所以一定是母音开头的字,所以可以先把选项(A)和(D)删去。然后剩下 excuse(借口)和 agenda(议程表), 当然只有 agenda 和 meeting 是有关系的啰!
琐碎时间看这里
<情态助动词+完成式>
常见的情态助动词加上完成式有以下几个:
(1)should+have+p.p.
(2)must+have+p.p.
(3)may/might+have+p.p.
情态助动词加上完成式有表示“过去”的意思,从以下两个例子就可以看出差别啰!
.You all should receive an agenda for this meeting.
(你们应该都要收到这场会议的议程表。)
→表示正要把议程表发送,或即将发送
.You all should have received an agenda for this meeting.
(你们应该都已经收到这场会议的议程表了。)
→表示早已经把议程表发送出去了
105.Please press 1 to _ this appointment.
(A)affirm
(B)restate
(C)confirm
(D)analyze
中译
请按 1 来_这个约会。
(A)肯定、断定
(B)再声明
(C)确认
(D)分析
解答提示
此题所测验的是 confirm an appointment(确认约定/约会)这个搭配词组。严格来说,其他的选项都是及物动词,硬要加上 appointment 当宾语在语法上也没有错误,但是语意上并不合适。在准备托业考试的时候,要多多背诵这一类动词和名词的常用搭配。
106.Each Employee of the Month will receive a _ lunch from the cafeteria.
(A)complimentary
(B)expensive
(C)healthy
(D)costly
中译
每月最佳员工将获得自助餐厅_午餐。
(A)赠送的
(B)昂贵的
(C)健康的
(D)贵重的
解答提示
此题测验的一样是搭配词的使用,每月最佳员工获得的奖品应该是“赠送的”,所以合理的答案是选项(A)。其他的选项虽然都是形容词,但是所造成的文意并不恰当。
107.This weekend’s festival will_food, musical entertainment and activities for the kids.
(A)preclude
(B)conclude
(C)include
(D)exclude
中译
这个周末的节庆将_食物、音乐娱乐和孩子的活动。
(A)阻止
(B)结束
(C)包括
(D)排除
解答提示
此题的四个选项字尾都相同,企图造成干扰。不过如果熟记单词的意思,其实正确答案是(C),include 是个很常见的字喔,应该不至于被其他选项骗到才对呢!
108.The campground_cabins for those who would like to stay in out of the weather.
(A)costs
(B)tours
(C)details
(D)provides
中译
这个营地_小屋给想要避避天气待在室内的人。
(A)花费
(B)旅行
(C)详述
(D)提供
解答提示
此题首先可以用字义判断,只有 provide(提供)在这个句子里,句子才有意义。此外也可以利用句型 provide sth.for sb. 来作答。
琐碎时间看这里
<表示人的关系代名词>
有时候我们要表达“~的人”,这时候可以用以下方法:
(1)people who
(2)those who
(3)whoever.
.The campground provides cabins for people who would like to stay in out of the weather.
NAME ?
NAME ?
109.There is a very high_that your first job out of college will use computer skills.
(A)likelihood
(B)childhood
(C)personality
(D)employer
中译
非常有_你大学毕业的第一份工作将用到电脑技能。
(A)可能
(B)童年
(C)人格
(D)雇主
解答提示
此题的答案难度较高,应选(A),likelihood(可能性)是从形容词 likely(可能的)而来,是抽象名词,常见的搭配句型如下:
(1)There is little/much likelihood that S+V(不太可能./很有可能.)
(2)The likelihood is that S+V(很可能.)
(3)In all likelihood, S+V(很可能.)
110.I will have to call_services to see when they are going to have the computer system repaired.
(A)advanced
(B)technical
(C)standard
(D)improved
中译
我必须打电话给_服务部门,看看他们什么时候把电脑系统修好。
(A)先进的
(B)技术的
(C)标准的
(D)改进的
解答提示
修理电脑的工作当然是资讯技术相关的部门,所以答案是选项(B)technical。其它像是 information(资讯)、technology(科技)、technical(技术的)这一类的字都是电脑有关的。
琐碎时间看这里
<间接问句>
间接问句(who, when, where, how, what…)也可以视为关系副词的简单化:
.I will have to call technical services to see when they are going to have the computer system repaired .
=I will have to call technical services to see the time at which they are going to have the computer system repaired .
要特别注意使用 when 的时候,不要和“表示时间的副词”when 搞混,因为表示时间的副词 when 一般不会接将来式。
.Tell me when he comes .
(他来的时候跟我说一声。)
.Tell me when he is coming .
(跟我说他什么时候会来。)
111.Are you attending the big art_this weekend to benefit the art museum?
(A)expense
(B)benefactor
(C)sale
(D)work
中译
你要参加这个周末的大型艺术_并替美术馆募集经费吗?
(A)花费
(B)捐助人
(C)拍卖
(D)作品
解答提示
句子后面的 benefit the art museum(替美术馆募集经费)可作为提示,一般就是指拍卖等相关的活动,故选(C)。

<现在进行式表示未来>
英文中用现在进行式表示未来有以下几种情况,(如果熟悉了用法之后,会发现其实很多句子的功能是重叠的):
(1)含有动作性的动词:go, come, leave, arrive…
(2)计划中的事件
(3)带有意愿的句子
以下三个例子我们来看看各含有上述哪些意义?
(A)We are leaving for Japan tomorrow.
(我们明天要去日本。)
→具有(1)、(2)、(3)
(B)They are having a barbecue this Saturday.
(他们这个星期六要辦烤肉。)
→具有(2)、(3)
(C)Is Amy interviewing the candidate this afternoon?
(今天下午 Amy 要面试应征者吗?)
→具有(2)、(3)
112.You should make a_if you want to eat right away.
(A)announcement
(B)appointment
(C)plan
(D)reservation
中译
如果你想要马上可以用餐,你应该要_。
(A)宣布
(B)约会
(C)计划
(D)订位
解答提示
此题是和餐厅用餐有关系,所以应该选择 make a reservation(预订;订位)这个搭配词,所以选(D)。其他的选项也可以和动词 make 形成搭配词,但是在这个句子中并不恰当。
113.If you buy your_online, you can usually save about 30% from the price at the door.
(A)lunch
(B)tickets
(C)photographs
(D)property
中译
如果你在网上购买_,你通常可以省下直接买票的 30%(打七折)。
(A)午餐
(B)票券
(C)照片
(D)房地产
解答提示
此题的提示是 at the door(在门口),其实就是指到现场买,一般是指电影票或入场券等票券,所以选(B)。
114.If we have a test done at your lab, will we get the_today?
(A)product
(B)equipment
(C)x-ray
(D)results
中译
如果我们在你的实验室做测试,我们今天能够得到_吗?
(A)产品
(B)设备
(C)X 光
(D)结果
解答提示
相对于 test(测试)的就是 result(结果;结论),其他的单词虽然多少和 lab(实验)有关系,但是放到句子里头语意就会怪怪的唷!
琐碎时间看这里
<have+物+p.p.>
这个句型是用来表达“请某人做某件事”,重点是某件事被完成,至于某人是谁则不重要,或是大家心知肚明。
.If we have a test done at your lab, will we get the results today?
这个测试不会是 we 做的,当然是实验室里的人员进行的,所以才会用这个句型。
如果真的是 we 做的测验,那么会变成以下的说法:
.If we do a test at your lab, will we get the results today?
特别注意在中文翻译的时候,两者几乎没有差别,都翻成“如果我们在你的实验室做测试,我们今天能够得到结果吗?”但事实上,所要表达的意思是不同的。
我们再来看看一个日常生活的例子:
我想剪头发。(当然是设计师来剪,所以重点是“剪头发”,而不是谁来剪。)
(1)I want to have my hair cut .
(2)I want to cut my hair .(→自己剪自己的头发)
115.Melissa Ramos, one of our student therapists, invites you to her_as an assistant today at 12:30 p.m.
(A)house
(B)report
(C)workshop
(D)production
中译
Melissa Ramos,我们学生治疗师之一,邀请你今天下午 12 点半到她的_当助理。
(A)房子
(B)报告
(C)研讨会
(D)产品
解答提示
这一题可以用 assistant(助理)来作为提示,需要助理的场合或情况当然是 workshop(研讨会)最合适了。
116.Having meaningful relationships is_to maintaining your immune system and avoiding depression.
(A)critical
(B)valued
(C)required
(D)possible
中译
有意义的人际关系对于保持免疫系统以及避免忧郁症很_。
(A)关键的
(B)重要的
(C)要求的
(D)可能的
解答提示
这一题要注意空格后的介系词 to,可以和它搭配的只有 critical,也是最符合句意的选项,故选(A)。
117.You must take the subway to the Tenth Street station, , and hail a taxi from there to Center Park.
(A)unload
(B)board
(C)disembark
(D)ride
中译
你必须搭地铁到第十号车站,,然后从那里叫计程车到中央公园。
(A)卸货
(B)上车
(C)下车
(D)搭乘
解答提示
此题是前往某地的交通方式步骤,一共三个步骤,中间遗失的步骤显然就是“下车”,才能再叫计程车,所以答案要选(C)。
118.I have_in early childhood education, having been an assistant in a preschool for the past five years.
(A)help
(B)practice
(C)experiment
(D)experience
中译
我在早期儿童教育方面有相关_,过去五年在幼儿园一直从事助理工作。
(A)帮助
(B)练习
(C)实验
(D)经验
解答提示
此题是求职时会用到的句子,也是 NEW TOEIC 常考的范围。从后半句 having been an assistant in a preschool for the past five years 即可得知是与工作相关的题目,所以答案就是(D)。

<分词构句>
分词构句是把副词从句转化,用来表示“时间”、“原因”、“条件”、“让步”及“附带状况”。
.When I came home, I saw the door opened.
NAME ?
(当我回家时,我看到门是打开的。)
.Because he was sick, he didn’t come to work today.
=Being sick, he didn’t come to work today.
(因为生病了,他今天没来上班。)
要特別注意的地方是,前后两个从句的主语应该是同一个人。
119.I’ll wave my small Chinese flag at the airport, so that you will to pick me out in the crowd.
(A)appreciate
(B)be able
(C)be unlikely
(D)have
中译
我会在机场挥动小支的中国国旗,所以你就_在人群中找到我。
(A)感谢
(B)能够
(C)不可能
(D)必须
解答提示
此题可先删去选项(A),因为没有 appreciate to 这种搭配词。剩下三个选项再以文意判断,答案即是选项(B)。
琐碎时间看这里
<so 和 so that>
以上两个连接词虽然很像,但是意思却有点不同,请看以下例子:
.It is raining, so we have to cancel the picnic.
(下雨了,所以我们必须取消野餐。)
→表示前面句子所造成的“结果”
.We came early, so(that)we could talk to the speaker before the speech.
(我们提早到,以便我们能在演讲前和讲者聊一下。)
→表示前句子所达到的“目的”
因为 so that 的 that 可以省略,加上在翻译时甚至不会有太大的误解,所以常常会让我们搞不清楚:
(误译:我们提早到,所以我们能在演讲前和讲者聊一下。)
重点提醒:so that(以便.)前面的句子通常是含有意志的行为,才能达到后面句子的目的。
120.I’m sorry, but I think the vase of flowers looks_in the corner where it draws attention to the buffet table.
(A)terrible
(B)dead
(C)be.. Er
(D)unlikely
中译
很抱歉,我觉得这瓶花放在角落看起来_,可以把大家的注意力吸引到餐桌上。
(A)可怕的
(B)死亡的
(C)比较好的
(D)不可能的
解答提示
句子的后面提到“draws attention to the buffet table”,所以应该要选择一个正面的形容词,选项中只有 better(比较好的)是属于正向的形容词,答案当然就是(C)啰!

121-140

121.I_for the misunderstanding about the time of the meeting.
(A)apologize
(B)deny
(C)sorry
(D)forgive
中译
我为误会会议时间而_。
(A)道歉
(B)否认
(C)抱歉
(D)原凉
解答提示
因为空格后有介系词 for,而选项(B)和(D)都是及物动词,所以可以先删去。选项(C)必须再加上 be 动词才能使用,所以答案自然就是(A)啰!
122.The Johnson Five will headline this weekend’s farm_concert at the Canyon Amphitheater, beginning Thursday evening at 7:00 p.m.
(A)auction
(B)benefit
(C)equipment
(D)work
中译
杰森五人组将是本周末的农场_演唱会的重头戏,这个演唱会在峡谷剧场上演,从星期四晚上七点开始。
(A)拍卖
(B)慈善
(C)设备
(D)工作
解答提示
此题说难不难,主要测验的是 benefit concert(慈善演唱会)这个搭配词。但如果不知道这个搭配词,其实也可以发现其他选项根本无法和 concert 形成搭配,所以答案并不难选。
123.Due to the fire at St.Joseph’s downtown therapy center on Saturday, all appointments scheduled there have been_to the hospital therapy center until further notice.
(A)rescheduled
(B)translated
(C)relocated
(D)cancelled
中译
因为圣约瑟夫医院的市区治疗中心星期六发生了火灾,所有原本预定在那里的约诊都已经_到医院本部治疗中心,直到另外通知。
(A)重新安排时间
(B)转换
(C)重新安置
(D)取消
解答提示
此题的难度很高,尤其是题目和选项都使用较难的单词。选项(A)很容易误导作答,因为题目中有 scheduled,所以自然地会考虑 rescheduled,但请注意,这两个单词都是指和“时间”有关的安排,例如 schedule a meeting(安排会议时间)和 reschedule a meeting(重新安排会议时间),基本上地点是不变的。但题目中的市区治疗中心已经发生火灾,地点怎么可能不变呢!因此不能选这个选项。
选项(B)常见的意思是“翻译”,也有“转换;转变”的意思,但是大多是指本质上的改变,与题目的句子不符合。
选项(D)也可能误导作答,因为题目提到火灾,急性子的人就会直接联想“取消”,但是作答时一定要看清题目、看完题目。
此题答案为(C)。
124.Unfortunately, the part we need to repair the office security system is_on, so it will be at least three weeks before it can be fixed.
(A)special order
(B)vacation
(C)reliable
(D)backorder
中译
不幸的是,我们修理办公室安全系统所需的零件现在是_,所以等到系统修好至少要三个星期。
(A)特别订单
(B)假期
(C)可靠的
(D)延期交货
解答提示
首先可以把选项(B)和(C)删除,因为这两个选项很明显并不搭配此题目。另外选项(A)所谓的“特别订单”意义不明,也可以暂时不考虑。剩下选项(D)即是正确的答案。Backorder 即是“没有现货库存、来日出货”的订单。
琐碎时间看这里
<关系代名词的受格>
关系代名词的受格可见下表:
虽然有好几种方式可以用,但是可以发现最常见的就是“省略”关系代名词。关系代名词省略之后,有时候会让句子拆解比较复杂,所以要特别注意。
.Unfortunately, the part (that) we need to repair the office security system is on backorder, so it will be at least three weeks before it can be fixed.
125.The company’s credit_must be strong if they would like to be considered for a construction loan to build additional office space.
(A)card
(B)reading
(C)rating
(D)account
中译
这家公司的信用_必须很优良,如果他们想要被(银行)考虑给予建筑贷款来扩建更多的办公室空间的话。
(A)卡片
(B)阅读
(C)评比
(D)帐户
解答提示
题目中出现了 loan(贷款),很快地可以联想到 credit rating(信用评比),所以选(C)。虽然 credit card(信用卡)和 credit account(信用帐户)都是正确的搭配字,但是与题意并不符合。
126.With mortgage rates at an all-time low, the CEO would like to move ahead with plans to purchase the_Rockwell building.
(A)detailed
(B)former
(C)farmer
(D)cheapest
中译
抵押利率空前的低,执行长想要执行计划,买下_Rockwell 大楼。
(A)详细的
(B)之前的
(C)农夫
(D)最便宜的
解答提示
选项(C)是名词,所以可以先删除。选项(A)的 detailed 通常不是用来形容建筑物,所以也可以删去。剩下选项(B)和(D)中,只有 former(之前的)是比较合理的答案,故选(B)。
127.The graph below_the percentage of people aged 25 or older in Boulder City and in the state of Iowa who have earned a bachelor’s degree.
(A)relates
(B)dictates
(C)compares
(D)transfers
中译
以下的图表_此比例:在巨岩市 25 岁以上拥有学士学位的人,和在爱荷华州 25 岁以上拥有学士学位的人。
(A)叙述
(B)口述
(C)比较
(D)转换
解答提示
选项(A)和(B)都是指实际上通过语言的表达,所以不适合用在此句;而选项(D)则是意思不符合;故选(C)。

<定语从句的拆解>
定语从句一般而言会放在所要修饰的名词之后,但是有时候会因为太长,而被拆解放到后面:
.The graph below compares the percentage of people aged 25 or older in Boulder City and in the state of Iowa who have earned a bachelor’s degree .
→定语从句 who have earned a bachelor’s degree 修饰的名词是 people aged 25 or older,但是中间插入了地点 in Boulder City and in the state of Iowa。
128.The insurance industry, accounting, financial planning and child care are the four fields that are expected to have double_growth over the next decade.
(A)digit
(B)financial
(C)duty
(D)triple
中译
保险业、会计业、财务规划和儿童保育这四个领域预期在下个十年会有两_的成长。
(A)位数
(B)财务的
(C)责任
(D)三倍的
解答提示
这一题的答题线索较少,必须知道 double digit(两位数)这个搭配词才能作答,答案为(A)。
129.We are looking for a_individual with the ability to express thoughts clearly, to manage different viewpoints, and to collaborate with others.
(A)dull
(B)favored
(C)experience
(D)dynamic
中译
我们在找一个_的人,有清楚表达想法的能力,能够管理不同的观点以及和別人合作。
(A)愚笨的
(B)受到优惠的
(C)经验
(D)有活力的
解答提示
因为句子后面的能力描述,所以选项(C)容易让人作答时造成干扰,但是 experience 一般不会当作形容词,要用 experienced 才行,要记清楚哦,答案为(D)!
琐碎时间看这里
<对等连接词 and>
使用对等连接词 and 的时候,要特别注意词性以及结构的对等,如果要连接的是不定词,那么最好不要把 to 省略掉,否则句子看起来会很奇怪:
.We are looking for a dynamic individual with the ability to express thoughts clearly , to manage different viewpoints , and to collaborate with others .
→to manage different viewpoints 和 to collaborate with others 的 to 都不要省略。
130.The network engineer will be_for implementing, supporting, maintaining and troubleshooting the computer system for the company.
(A)responsive
(B)responsible
(C)thoughtful
(D)cared
中译
网络工程师将_执行、支持、维护公司的电脑系统以及排除疑难。
(A)回应的
(B)负责的
(C)细心的
(D)被在意的
解答提示
此题应注意空格后的介系词 for,然后选择和它搭配的正确答案(B)。“be responsive to”是“对……回应”的意思。
131.Surely, the most unusual_we saw on our trip was the giant ketchup bottle welcoming us to Harting, Illinois, home of the Fabulous Tomatoes Ketchup factory.
(A)animal
(B)attraction
(C)character
(D)attracts
中译
当然,我们在旅程中看到最特别的_是巨大的蕃茄酱瓶子,欢迎我们到伊利诺伊州的 Harting——惊人蕃茄酱工厂的故乡。
(A)动物
(B)景点
(C)人物
(D)吸引
解答提示
此题可先将选项(D)删去,因为只有它是动词。“we saw on our trip”是定语从句,空格中的字就是“the giant ketchup bottle”,可见应该选择(B)才符合句意。

<同位语>
英文当中的同位语,可以视为是定语从句的简化,例如:
.Mr.Jones, a famous professor, is coming to my college to give a speech.
NAME ?
(Jones 先生——一位有名的教授——将到我的大学讲演。)
另外,有人名的同位语,近年来有省略逗号的趋势,要特別注意:
.My friend Jenny is not going to the movies with us.
(我朋友 Jenny 沒有要和我们去看电影。)
132.In some cases, headphones are the only way to hear_from a portable electronic device.
(A)audio
(B)visual
(C)auto
(D)loud
中译
在某些情况下,耳机是唯一能听到可携式电子设备的_的方式。
(A)播音
(B)视频
(C)汽车
(D)大声的
解答提示
此题题意很明显,只是要记得分辨 audio 和 auto 的拼字类似,答案为(A)。
133.Several schools in the area have_Science and Technology Grants to fund programs which will adequately prepare students for the future.
(A)replied to
(B)studied
(C)applied for
(D)implied
中译
这个地区的数间学校已经_了科技补助金来资助计划,合宜地为学生的未来做准备。
(A)回复
(B)研究
(C)申请
(D)暗指
解答提示
此题的关键是,只要看懂 grant(补助金),那么该搭配什么动词就很清楚了。其他的选项动都无法和 grant 搭配,所以答案应该是 apply for(申请)。
134.For businesses that design hardware or software products, few decisions have more_than the marketing strategy they choose.
(A)information
(B)competition
(C)interest
(D)impact
中译
对于设计硬体或软体产品的公司来说,和他们选择的行销策略相比,很少决定能有更多的_。
(A)资讯
(B)竞争
(C)兴趣
(D)冲击
解答提示
这一题难度很高,必须完全看懂题目才行,否则就必须依靠强烈的推理能力才能解题。句子的主题是 few decisions(决定),决定会造成什么样的结果呢?结果是“资讯/竞争/兴趣”?意思都很奇怪,剩下的“冲击”就是正确答案了,故选(D)。

<数量形容词>
英文中表达数量的形容词整理如下:
其中要注意 a little/little 以及 a few/few 的差別,虽然只差了一个不定冠词 a,但是两者的意思截然不同:
.I have a few friends in the new neighborhood.
(我在这个新社区有一些朋友。)
.I have few friends in the new neighborhood.
(我在这个新社区几乎沒有朋友。)
135.Dr.Sinto will be available after the presentation to answer any questions you may have about his_to financial integrity.
(A)destiny
(B)decline
(C)approach
(D)amount
中译
Sinto 博士在简报后会有空回答各位关于他的财务整合_的问题。
(A)命运
(B)下降
(C)方法
(D)总数
解答提示
此题的小技巧是通过搭配的介系词来解题,destiny 后面一般不会接什么介系词,decline 后面一般接 in,amount 后面一般接 of,而 approach 则是接 to,所以答案选(C)。
136.The plastic on the O-rings must be_than 1/2 centimeter thickin order to pass inspection.
(A)no more
(B)about
(C)large
(D)lesser
中译
O 型环上的塑胶必须_1/2 公分厚才能通过检验。
(A)不超过
(B)大约
(C)大的
(D)较少的
解答提示
此题其实是测验语法,空格后面的 than 表示是“比较级”的用法,所以选项(B)和(C)都可以先删去。至于选项(D)虽然是比较级,但是应改为 less 才对。所以答案就是(A)。
琐碎时间看这里
<比较级>
比较级可以分成“优等比较”和“劣等比较”,优等比较就是“更好、更多……”这一类的意思,劣等比较就是“更不好、更少……”这一类的意思。
劣等比较其实比优等比较简单多了,只要在形容词或副词前面加上 less 就可以,不用背什么变化喔!
.This car runs less fast than that one.
(这辆车跑得没有那辆快。)
.This book is less interesting than that one.
(这本书没有那本书有趣。)
137.Tickets for the_voyage of the new Weekend Onboard program offered by Sunset Cruise Line have been sold out.
(A)beginning
(B)remaining
(C)exciting
(D)inaugural
中译
日落游轮公司所提供的全新周末登船专案_航行的票券已经卖完了。
(A)开始的
(B)剩下的
(C)兴奋的
(D)开幕的
解答提示
此题可以从形容词 new 来推测,所以应该要搭配具有“开始;开幕”等含义的字才合理,可先删去选项(B)和(C)。至于 beginning 一般很少作为形容词修饰名词,所以应该选(D)inaugural 最适合。
琐碎时间看这里
<过去分词片语>
被动语态的定语从句可以简化成过去分词片语,这在书面文章中很常见,因为会显得比较简洁有力。省略的方式就是把关系代名词和 be 动词拿掉就 OK 啰!
.Tickets for the inaugural voyage of the new Weekend Onboard program,(which were) offered by Sunset Cruise Line have been sold out.
.Please give me the letter(that was)written by Dr.Peterson.
(请给我那封 Peterson 博士写的信。)
138.An overwhelming_of respondents agreed that free delivery is the largest motivator causing them to purchase products online.
(A)fraction
(B)addition
(C)majority
(D)minority
中译
受访者中,压倒性的_同意,免运费是促使他们线上购买商品的最大动力。
(A)小部份
(B)附加
(C)多数
(D)少数
解答提示
Overwhelming 是“压倒的;势不可挡的”,和 majority 形成搭配词,就是指“压倒性多数”,所以选(C)。
琐碎时间看这里
<动词+人+to+V>
这是英文中极常见的句型,很多动词都可以搭配,这个句型的重点意思是“to+V”的动作是由定语所作的,请见以下范例:
.My father allowed me to go home late this evening.
(我爸爸准我今天晚上晚点回家。)
.The teacher told everyone to clean the classroom before leaving school.
(老师叫每个人在离开学校之前把教室打扫干净。)
.The violent storm caused many roads to be closed .
(暴风雨导致很多路被封。)
139.As a_of our appreciation for your business, we would like to offer you this complimentary issue of Creative Computing Magazine.

(C)taken
(D)specialty
中译
作为我们感谢贵公司的_,我们想要免费提供您这一期的 Creative Computing 杂志。
(A)纪念
(B)象征
(C)拿取
(D)特色
解答提示
答案为(B),“as a token of”是“作为……的象征”。选项(C)是 take 的过去分词,和 token 的拼字类似,特别小心。选项(A)的搭配词应该是“in remembrance of”“纪念……”。
140.You can see the full_of products we offer on our website, junebugclothing. Com .
(A)ability
(B)picture
(C)view
(D)range
中译
您可以通过我们的网站 junebugclothing. Com 看到我们所提供的完整商品_。
(A)能力
(B)画图
(C)景观
(D)系列
解答提示
Full ability 全部的能力;full picture 全貌;full view 全景,以上三个搭配词都是 OK 的,但是和此题的句子无法搭配,只有 full range“全系列”最符合句意,故选(D)。

此题四个选项都是及物动词,因此必须依靠文意判断。幸亏文章的前段即是讨论租车情况,例如:rental(租车)、pickup(取车),因此答案就是前文已经出现过的 return(归还)。

(A)面试
(B)身份证明
(C)资讯

145.With this number, you are able to access comprehensive account information and __ certain transactions.
(A)initiate
(B)renew
(C)adjust
(D)transfer
中译
有了这组号码,您可以取用所有的帐户资料以及_部分交易。
(A)开始
(B)更新
(C)调整
(D)转换
解答提示
正确答案为(A),transaction 是“交易”的意思,适合的动词只有 initiate(开始;启动),准备托业考试背单词时,要多注意互相搭配的名词和动词,才能背一个字记更多字!
Two options are available to you:
●Call 1-888-352-1234(Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.to 8:00 p.m.Eastern Time)

解答提示
此题测验的是惯用语 take advantage of(使用;利用),advantage 是“好处;优点”,字面的解释是“拿走……的好处、优点”,也就是“使用;利用”的意思啰!所以答案为(C)。虽然选项(A)是“使用”的意思,但是并没有 take use of 这种用法。

<can vs.be able to>
助动词 can 和片语 be able to 基本上的意思是相同的:
.Jake can play basketball like a professional player.
NAME ?
(Jake 能像职业球员一样打篮球。)
但是 be able to 还可以和许多情态助动词搭配,这是助动词 can 所无法做到的!以下是 be able to 和情态助动词混搭之后的整理:
1.will be able to 将能够
.She will be able to apply for this position a..er she finishes the training.
(在她完成训练之后,她将能够申请这份职位。)
2.must be able to 一定能够
.He must be able to come here if he clocks off on time.
(如果他准时打卡下班,他一定能够来这里。)
3.may be able to 也许能够
.We may be able to complete the project because Mike is very good at this field.

中译
您的新脚踏车在工厂_并调整完成,然后部分拆解以利于装运。
(A)骑乘
(B)组装
(C)组装
(D)通勤
解答提示
此题的动词都是被动语态,所以只要看哪个选项是被动就没错啰!答案为(C),另外 assembly 是 assemble 的名词。
148.You may have purchased the bicycle in its shipping carton, or from a store in fully assembled form.The following instructions will_you to prepare your bicycle for years of enjoyment.
(A)accurately
(B)enable
(C)hinder

(A)正确地
(B)能够
(C)阻碍
(D)准备
解答提示
此题空格前是助动词 will,所以空格内应选择一个动词,选项(A)和(D)可以删去。而 hinder(阻碍)所搭配的介系词是 from,enable 才是接不定词:enable someone to V,答案为(B)。
149.For details on inspections, maintenance and adjustment of any areas, please refer to the relevant section in this manual. If you have questions about how to properly assemble this bicycle, please consult a specialist
(A)stored

此题应该找一个可以修饰人的形容词,选项(A)、(B)、(C)都是修饰物品的形容词,所以答案自然只剩下(D)。

<祈使句>
英文的祈使句最容易记的方式,就是把主语省略:
.Come home early after school.
(放学后早点回家。)
不过这种记忆方式在遇到 be 动词的时候,要记得用 be 动词的原形动词:
.You are a good student.

Be
(你是当个好学生。)
其实省略主语是标准的形式,但如果想要加强语气,仍然可以把主语保留唷!
.You come home early after school!
(你放学后早点回家!)
.You be a good student!
(你当个好学生!)
另外也可以加上助动词 do 在动词前面,一样有加强语气的效果:
.Do come home early after school!
(放学后早点回家!)

(A)录音

解答提示
这封信函是由税务机关寄出,所以在选择用字的时候,选择 records 会比 papers 更为恰当,故选(D)。另外 recordings 虽然也是 record 的名词,但是一般指的是“录音;录影”。
If this is incorrect, you must pay your taxes prior to the due date to avoid late fees. Under New York State Law, it is the taxpayer’s responsibility to ensure property taxes are paid.

<that 名词从句>
That 名词从句可以当作主语(以同位语的方式出现)以及宾语,但是以作为宾语最常见,而且还常常省略 that,所以在阅读的时候要特別注意。
主语:The fact that he is my cousin really surprised me.
(他是我表哥这件事还真的把我吓到了。)
宾语:I didn’t know (that) you were coming too .
(我不知道你也要来。)
有时候我们还会看到两个 that 在一起,千万不要吃惊:
.Peter told me (that) that girl was beautiful.
(Peter 告诉我那个女孩子很漂亮。)
→第一个 that 是名词从句,而第二个 that 是指示形容词。

Troubleshooting Your New Digital Camera
You want your new camera to capture many special moments in your life. Don’t miss a moment because your camera needs a few simple fixes!
Fuzzy Spots on Your Pictures
Occasionally dust builds up or your fingerprint leaves a smudge on your lens. Breathe across the lens and wipe it with a soft, microfiber cloth. This will remove most marks. For stubborn spots, purchase a lens cleaning solution.
Battery Life
In the beginning, your camera batteries will last several hours before needing to be recharged. Over time a battery wears out. Eventually, it will only give you a few pictures. In this case, simply install a new battery. If you see a white flaky material on the old battery, the battery was likely leaking. The residual acid will need to be wiped off the contacts using a brush and fine sandpaper.
中译
疑难排解您的新数码相机
你想用您的新相机捕捉生活中许多特别的时刻。别错过任何一个时刻,因为您的相机需要一些简单的修理。
相片上有模糊的小点
有时候灰尘会累积,或者您的指纹会在镜头上留下污迹。轻吹镜头并用柔软的超微细纤维布擦拭。这可以去除多数的污点。针对顽强的污点,请购买镜头清洁溶剂。
电池寿命
一开始您的相机电池在需要再充电之前将可维持数个小时。随着时间过去,电池会消耗电量。最终只能拍几张照片而已。在此情况下,只需安装新的电池即可。如果您看到旧电池上有白色片状的物质,电池很可能在漏电。擦去,可使用刷子与细砂纸接点上残留的酸性物质。
158.Where would you read this article?

此篇文章讨论的是如何排除数码相机的一些疑难杂症,这些资讯都是写在操作手册中的,所以答案要选(C),manual 即是“操作手册”的意思。
159.How does the manufacturer recommend removing smudges from your lens?
(A)Wash the camera in soap and water.
(B)Breathe on the lens and wipe it with a soft cloth.
(C)Buy a replacement lens.
(D)Scrub the lens with an abrasive cloth.

制造商如何建议清除镜头上的污点?
(A)用肥皂和清水清洗相机。

(D)用粗磨质地的布擦刷镜头。
解答提示
正确答案为(B)选项,使用和文章相似的字汇组合,例如 breathe, lens, wipe, soft clothe 等,所以答案其实并不难判断。
160.What is the white flaky material on an old battery?
(A)Dried milk that was spilled on the camera.
(B)Residue left over from the production of the camera.
(C)Dust that has accumulated.
(D)Battery acid that leaked out.

(D)At the beach in Maine.
中译
你可能在哪里读到这则广告?
(A)在报纸的体育版。
(B)在公司的备忘录里。
(C)在旅游杂志中。
(D)在缅因州的海滩。
解答提示
这一题是很轻松的软性题材,介绍缅因州的海滩休憩,所以答案可以很快地联想到旅游杂志,正确答案为(C)。
162.What is unique about this beach?
(A)It is an inland beach.
(B)It features white sand.
(C)Kids can build sand castles.
(D)Adults will enjoy their stay as much as the kids.
中译
这个海滩特别的地方是什么?
(A)这是一座内陆海滩。
(B)特色是白色沙子。
(C)孩子们可以堆沙堡。
(D)成人将和孩子一样地享受停留的时光。
解答提示
广告的第一个句子就提到“unique white sand beach”,所以答案选(B)。另外广告提到的 inland boardwalk,在美国海边很常见,有一排各式各样的商店,商店前面则是用木板铺在地面上,形成一条走道。这条走道(boardwalk)通常是从玩水的海滩往里面(inland)走,所以才会叫做 inland boardwalk。而选项(A)的 inland beach 则是指内陆的海滩,是完全不同的。
163.What does the White House Inn offer that the Hotel Maine does not?
(A)White linens for the beds.
(B)A tour of the White House.
(C)Wine and cheese for the adults.
(D)Complimentary breakfast.
中译
白屋客栈提供了什么东西是缅因旅馆没有提供的?
(A)白色床单。
(B)白宫之旅。
(C)给成人的红酒和起士。
(D)免费的早餐。
解答提示
这一题只要把两间旅店所提供的物品仔细对照,就可以得到答案啰!答案为(C);选项(A)和(B)都是广告内容没有的,可以先删去。选项(D)则是缅因旅馆有提供,而白屋客栈没有的。Complimentary adj. 免费的

<动词的省略>
“英文是一个动词的语言”,意思是英文的核心正是动词,每一个英文句子一定要有动词。但是英文又有一个习惯,那就是不重复已经出现的字,所以变成动词有时候又会省略。
最常见的动词省略方式,就是只留下助动词:
.What does the White House Inn offer that the Hotel Maine does not (offer) ?
.I like the movie as much as he does (=likes it) .
(我喜欢这部电影的程度和他一样。)
→肯定句则是用助动词取代。
另外还有更彻底的省略,就是把整个动词和宾语都省略掉:
.Mike bought some flowers for his girlfriend, and John (bought some flowers) for his.
(Mike 买了花给他的女朋友,而 John 也是。)
→第二个 his 是指示代名词(= his girlfriend)
→这个句子因为 bought some flowers 是完全一样的词组,所以整个省略掉。造成后半部“and John for his.”看起来似乎没有动词,没头没尾的。这一类的句子虽然并不常见,但是只要一出现,立马就打败许多人,所以要特别注意英文中省略的习惯。

中译
你可能在哪里读到这则公告?
(A)在报纸的网站。
(B)在报纸的投资版。
(C)在报纸的首页。
(D)在商店广告中。
解答提示
公告的内容是关于某份报纸星期日的投资版,所以最合适的答案是(B)。另外报纸的首页通常不会有类似的问卷调查,在作答的时候,要挑选最合适的答案。
165.What is the newspaper trying to decide?
(A)If they should continue to provide financial information in their print edition.
(B)If they should give away NT$2,000 to the winner.

(B)他们是否应该送出 2,000 元给得奖者。
(C)他们是否应该在星期日停止出刊。
(D)他们是否应该包含更多广告。
解答提示
公告的前言即透露出问卷的目的,答案选(A)。至于(B)选项提到了 2,000 元,这是报纸决定要送的奖品,并不是要读者替他们决定的事情。而(D)选项提到的更多广告(more advertisements),在公告中根本没有,作答时完全不用考虑。

(D)最常阅读投资版的人将赢得。
解答提示
这一题可以在 Contest Rules 中找到答案,另外也可以运用一些日常生活常识,一般的抽奖当然是随机抽出的啰!正确答案为(C),不过重点是必须要看懂 randomly adv. 随机地。

<名词从句 that 和 if>
这两种名词从句都可以作为动词的宾语,但是意义却大不同!
.We want to know if our products are meeting your needs.
(我们想要知道我们的产品是否达到您的需求。)
.We want to know that our products are meeting your needs.
(我们想要知道我们的产品达到您的需求。)
→我们知道我们的产品有达到您的需求,但我们想要从您口中说出来。
从上面的例子可以看出来,if 从句所传达的意思是“不确定”,甚至可以说是带有疑问的味道。而 that 从句则是传达肯定的事实。我们再多看一个例子加强一下:
.I have no idea if he is coming.
(我不知道他要不要来。)
.I have no idea that he is coming.
(我不知道他要来耶。)

(B)公司没有能力改变事情。
(C)今年将有几位新的电力客户。
(D)此区域的电力将暂时中断。

这一题只要看懂标题就可以作答了!Interrupt vt. 中断,就等于片语动词 turn off,选项(D)准没错!

(D)12 hours.

169.What could make the power outage last longer than planned?
(A)If too many customers complain.
(B)Unforeseen circumstances.
(C)If workers don’t show up for work.
(D)New homes built in the area.

什么事情可能会使得电力中断比预期更久?
(A)如果有太多客户抱怨。
(B)无法预知的情况。
(C)如果工人没有上工。
(D)此区域所盖的新房子。
解答提示
这一题的答案是选项(B)unforeseen circumstances(无法预知的情况),其实公告内容中就可以找到这两个字,所以可以大胆地作答。不过这一题的题目有点难度,因为刻意使用和内容不一样的同义字来干扰,例如 power outage 就等于 power interruption,last longer than planned(比预计中更久)就等于 extend the interruption(延长中断),老话一句,准备托业一定要熟读同义字喔!

<授与动词>
授与动词最明显的特征就是有两个定语,通常直接定语是物品,而间接定语则是人。授与动词的句型如下:
(1)主语 + 授与动词 + 直接定语 + 介系词 + 间接定语
.Mike gave some flowers to his girlfriend .
(2)主语 + 授与动词 + 间接定语 + 直接定语
.Mike gave his girlfriend some flowers.
但是如果直接定语是代名词的形式,则通常使用(1)的句型:
.Mike gave them to his girlfriend.
.Mike gave his girlfriend them.(X)
.Please give it to me.
→如果两个定语都是代名词,通常也是使用(1)的句型。

<地点的表示>
英文当中表示地点最简单的方式就是使用 be 动词:
.That store is next to the bakery.
(那家店在面包店旁边。)
但是大家在学习的过程中,应该会发现其实英文还有其他表达地点的方式,尤其是在阅读的时候,因为单单用一个 be 动词感觉实在太弱了!所以就发展出不同的说法,特别以被动语态的表示最多:
(1)be located (in/at)…
.Our office is located downtown.
(我们的办公室位在市中心。)
(2)be situated in/at…
.The resort is situated in the mountains so that tourists can take a break from the sizzling summer.
(那个度假胜地位于山里,所以游客可以逃离酷热的夏天。)
(3)lie in/at/on…
.That town lies on the coast.
(那座小镇位置面向海岸。)

(A)Main Street, the ferry and the subway.

这一题可以利用题目中的 walking distance,寻找类似的用字,可以找到(1)A short walk to Istanbul’s main street(2)A short walk to a ferry to the islands or the subway to the old city,这样就知道正确答案是(A)咯!
189.If anyone in Mrs. Chang’s family smokes, what will they want to make note of?
(A)Cigarettes may cost more to purchase in Turkey.
(B)River’s Glory has very few smoking rooms.
(C)It will be difficult to travel with cigarettes in your baggage.

选项中符合的只有选项(B),选项(D)是不完全正确的,因为张女士也可以用电话订房而享受优惠价格。

<英文最高级>
英文最高级常见的句型如下:
(1)… the 最高级 + 介系词 + 地点/范围
(2)… the 最高级 + of/among + 人
.The Nile River is the longest river in the world .
(尼罗河是世界上最长的河流。)
.Peter is the tallest child in his family .
(Peter 是他家最高的小孩。)
.Joe is the oldest boy among us .
(Joe 是我们之间年纪最大的男孩。)
.Nicky is the prettiest girl of them .
(Nicky 是她们里面最漂亮的女生。)
一般来说,最高级搭配上范围,目的是让听话的人更清楚了解。不过如果对方已经知道谈话的内容是什么,其实不加上范围也是 OK 的!

(A)送一部车给真的需要的人。
(B)帮助家庭克服上涨的油价,送他们加油卡。
(C)吸引到场时有可能会买新车的顾客。
(D)以今年度最低价销售汽车。
解答提示
此类的汽车展当然是为了吸引消费者啰!所以答案选(C)一定没错。而选项(A)(送车)和(B)(送加油卡)都是广告中提到的活动,但并不是这个广告最主要的重点。
192.If you don’t take a test drive, can you still get a gas card?
(A)Yes, if you give a small donation.
(B)Yes, anyone who stops by can get one.
(C)No, they are only available for those who test drive a vehicle.

(A)是的,如果你稍微捐一点钱的话。
(B)是的,任何路过的人都可以得到。
(C)不行,加油卡只给试驾的人。
(D)不行,加油卡只给新车得主。
解答提示

193.How do you know if you’re the winner of the car?
(A)When you reach into the box and pull out the card that says WINNER.
(B)There will be a drawing on Sunday and they will call the winner.
(C)If the key you received in the mail opens the lock box, you are the winner.

(A)你把手伸进盒子里,然后抽出卡片上片写着“恭喜中奖”。
(B)星期日会举办抽奖,他们会公布得奖者。
(C)如果你在邮件中收到的钥匙打开了锁盒,你就是得奖者。
(D)如果你是第一百名把钥匙带来的人,你就赢了。
解答提示
广告附上的小说明写:If your key opens the box, you are the new owner of the car,所以答案是(C)。选项(A)所描述的情況是在抽加油卡。
194.How likely is it that you will win a $500 gas card?
(A)Everyone will pull out one worth $500.
(B)You should assume that most of the cards are for $5.
(C)You are guaranteed at least $100.
(D)Only the winner of the car gets $500.
中译
你得到 500 元加油卡的可能性高吗?
(A)每个人都会抽到等值 500 元的加油卡。
(B)你应该假设大多数的卡是 5 元的加油卡。
(C)保证你至少会抽到 100 元的加油卡。
(D)只有汽车得主得到 500 元的加油卡。
解答提示
这一题的题目本身较有难度,How likely is it…?是问某种情况的可能性有多高,我们必须用常理逻辑判断一下。每个路过的人都能抽加油卡,而加油卡的金额从 5 元到 500 元不等,当然多数的加油卡的金额会是 5 元,否则主办单位不是赔大了吗?所以最合适的答案应该是(B)。
195.Is someone guaranteed to win the car?
(A)The only guarantee is that there is a box full of gas cards.
(B)There are never any guarantees in life.
(C)The advertisement didn’t say anything about a guarantee.
(D)The winning key was mailed out, but there’s no guarantee that person will attend.
中译
保证有人会赢得汽车吗?
(A)唯一保证的是盒子有满满的加油卡。
(B)人生中没有什么保证。
(C)这则广告没有提到任何保证。
(D)中奖的钥匙已寄出,但不保证收到钥匙的人一定会参加。
解答提示
广告的小说明写 One key mailed out is guaranteed to open the lock box,也就是保证主办单位所寄发的钥匙当中,一定有一把可以打开锁盒得到汽车大奖。但是,主办单位无法保证那个人一定会参加新车大展来试手气。所以正确答案是(D)。
琐碎时间看这里
<even if/even though>
因为这两个连接词通常都翻译成“即使”,所以有时候会误会它们是一样的,但是它们是截然不同的喔!
.(Even) if he comes, I won’t let him in.
(即使/如果他来,我也不会让他进来。)
.(Even) though he came, I didn’t let him in.
(即使/虽然他来了,我也不让他进来。)
大家可以注意到,如果这两个句子把 even 去掉,句意是不会改变的喔!所以 even 可以视为是用来加强语气的副词,实际上没有了 even 也 OK。所以看到 even if 和 even though 的时候,只要在脑海中自动把 even 删掉,肯定就不会弄错啰!

(A)因为他们已经登记今年的路跑。
(B)社区里每个人都收到这封信。
(C)因为他们去年参加路跑。
(D)他们要求把名字放在邮寄清单中。
解答提示
信件的一开始就写着 We are so glad you ran the Blooming 10 K last year.,可见是因为收信人去年就参加过了,所以今年主办单位再发信询问他们参加的意愿。所以答案选(C)。
197.How are elementary students helping with the race?
(A)Cheering people on.
(B)Creating graffiti art to encourage runners on the course.
(C)Running the race with their parents.
(D)Handing out water bottles.
中译
小学生如何在这次路跑提供协助?
(A)替人们加油。
(B)在路线上创作涂鸦艺术鼓励跑者。
(C)和他们的父母亲一起路跑。
(D)传递水瓶。
解答提示
这一题要联想一下,信件内容是 graffiti alley created by local elementary school students,而小学生创作这些涂鸦正是为了激励(encourage)跑者,所以应该选(B)。
198.If you are a nurse, what would be a good volunteer position for you?
(A)Directing traffic.

解答提示
这一题很容易,护士(nurse)当然是要从事和医疗(medical)相关的工作任务啰,所以选(D)!
199.Why do the race organizers need to know your 10 K time?
(A)To see if you qualify to run.
(B)To see if you are faster than last year.
(C)To place you in the appropriate starting position.
(D)To predict who will win this year.
中译
为什么路跑主办单位需要知道你的 10 公里成绩?
(A)看看你是否符合资格参加路跑。
(B)看看你是否跑得比去年快。
(C)为了把你放在合适的起跑位置。
(D)来预测今年谁会赢。
解答提示
报名表格中有写 for starting placement,而选项(C)则是换句话说,一样都是使用 place 这个字,所以选(C)。Place vt. 将…放置在…;placement n.(C)人员配置。
200.How can families pay for the race?
(A)Fill out separate registrations, but pay together.
(B)Write a separate check for each person.
(C)Families must pay with credit card.

<花費>
英文中有四个动词 cost, pay, spend, take 都有“花费(时间/金钱)”的意思,常让很多人头痛,我们来好好看看这四个动词的真面目!
(1)cost
主语一定是“物品”,或是虚主语搭配不定词用来表示“一件事”,也只用在“金钱”方面的花费。
. The book cost me two hundred dollars.
(这本书花了我两百元。)
.It cost me three thousand dollars to have my car fixed .
(修我的车花了三千元。)
(2)pay
就是“付钱”的意思,所以主语一定是“人”,定语一定是“钱/金额数量”,然后才是用介系词 for 表示买的东西。
.I paid one hundred thousand dollars for the new smart phone .
(我花了一万块买新的智能手机。)
(3)spend
可以用在花费“时间或金钱”,主语一定是“人”,后面可以接动名词。
.My father spent one hour cleaning the house .
(我父亲花了一小时清扫房子。)
(4)take
Take 是用在花费“时间”,句型有三种,我们看一下以下的例句说明:
.It took me one hour to wash the car.
(我花了一小时洗车。)
