  主詞 現在式 主詞 未來式   先行詞 主詞 過去式
  從屬副詞子句  主要子句   從屬形容詞子句 
 

store at the time of the robbery.
  1.

police 看起來像是一個單數名詞，但它是一個集合名詞，是指一個集合體中所有的組成份子，要視為複數名詞，請參見文法書p.183；現在式動詞要用原形動詞 arrive，字尾不能加 s 或 es；

  2.

從屬形容詞子句who were in the jewelry store at the time of the robbery. 所敘述的是在搶案(過去時間)時的事情，所以動詞要用過去式；
子句的動詞要與先行詞一致， 先行詞 people 是一個複數名詞，所以過去式 be 動詞要用 were(文法書p.70&222)。

這項新的高速火車提案              ，因為成本太高了。

  A. 過去式 B. 現在完成式 C. 過去完成被動式 D. 未來被動式 答:D
 

提案 proposal 是被否決的，所以動詞要用被動式；四個答案中只有 C. D. 是被動式；
由於從屬副詞子句 because the cost is too high.是現在式， 主要子句要選未來被動式 will be rejected「將會被否決」才合邏輯。

    主詞 動詞    
 

主詞 way 是第三人稱單數，現在式動詞字尾要加 s => gets (文法書p.54 )

Questions 26-30

        Large animals have relatively smaller brains than small ones. As we move from small to large   (26)  , from mice to elephants or small lizards to komodo dragons, brain size increases, but not as fast as body size.    (27)  , bodies grow faster than brains,     (28)   large animals have low ratios of brain weight to body weight. In fact, brains grow only about two-thirds as fast as bodies. Since there is no reason to believe that large animals are consistently less intelligent than their smaller relatives,    (29)   concluded that large animals require   (30)   brain to do as well as smaller animals. If this relationship is not recognized, the mental power of very large animals, such as dinosaurs, will be underestimated.

Questions 31-33  

      Manners are the ways in which people behave in various situations with other people. If they behave properly, we say that they have good manners, and if they behave badly, we say that they have bad manners. However, what are good manners in one society may be bad manners in another. For example, inone society, it may be good manners for an old man to open a door for a young woman because men should be polite to women in this way; on the other hand, in another society it may be better manners for a young woman to open a door for an old man because young people should be polite to old people in this way. So when you travel to another country, you should learn what are considered good manners there. If you use good manners, you will be a welcome visitor.

      態度是人們和其他人在各種情況下交往的行為方式。假如他們表現適當，我們 說他們有好的禮貌，若是他們表現惡劣，我們說他們沒有禮貌。然而，一個社會的 好禮貌，在另一個社會也許是壞禮貌。例如，在一個社會中，一個老人幫一個年輕 女人開門也許是好禮貌，因為男人對女人應該這樣表示禮貌；在另一方面，在另一 個社會中，一個年輕女人幫一個老人開門也許是好禮貌，因為年輕人對老人應該這 樣表示禮貌。因此，當你到另一個國家旅遊，你應該學習那裡什麼會被認為是好的 禮貌。如果你用對了禮貌，你會是一個受歡迎的旅客。

MEMO
To: All Office Staff
Re: Refrigerator Use
The problem of forgotten, spoiled food in the refrigerator has been the subject of previous memos. As the situation has not noticeably improved, it has been decided that the refrigerator will be regularly emptied and cleaned on the first and third Friday of every month. All food and drink items found in the refrigerator after 5:00 p.m. on those days will be tossed out by the maintenance staff.
With regard to condiment items in the door of the refrigerator (ketchup, salad dressing, etc.), they may remain, but they must be labeled with the owner’s name and the date of purchase. It is requested that the owners keep these containers clean.
We regret any inconvenience which this causes.

Questions 43-45

      In public service lectures, fire fighters not only teach about fire prevention, escape plans, and the use of fire extinguishers, but also warn people never to go back into a burning building for any reason. Many people die each year from breathing smoke after rushing back into their homes to save valuables.   When people who have lost their homes in a fire are asked what items they most regret losing, most reply “family photographs.” Baby pictures and photographs of weddings, friends, relatives and vacations are often impossible to replace. Fire fighters recommend that people make copies of their important photographs and documents and ask a friend to keep them for the family. An alternative is to keep photographs as well as other valuables in a safety deposit box at a bank.

      在公益服務演講中，救火員不但教導防火、逃生計畫、使用滅火器，而且警告 人们不論何種理由絕對不要重回火燒建築物。每年有許多的人因為再衝進他們的家搶救重要物品吸入濃煙而致死。當那些火災失去家園的人被問到，最遺憾的損失物 品是什麼，大多數的回答是「家庭照片」。嬰兒照片、結婚、朋友、親戚和渡假照 片，通常是不可能還原的。救火員建議人们將他們重要的照片、文件做成影本交由 朋友保管。另一種選擇是將照片和重要物品放在銀行保險箱中。
