題號
答案
一句解說
1
Scanning
找特定資料(日期、數字、名字)用掃讀;略讀用於掌握全篇大意。
2
Unwilling
reluctant 表示不情願,後面接 to 加動詞,與 eager 相反。
3
The library opening hours and borrowing rules
三段短句都在講圖書館的開放時間與借書規則,屬同一主題。
4
Their lunch
代詞回指前文最近而又配合語意的名詞短語,即 their own lunch。
5
He was anxious and waiting impatiently
反覆看錶與來回踱步屬動作細節,用來暗示焦急與等待。
6
Disapproving
Sadly 帶有評價,配合 very few 與 bother,語氣是不贊同。
7
25%
60 除以 240 等於 0.25,即原篇幅的 25%。
8
Very careful about detail
meticulous 指一絲不苟、極重視細節,並非「匆忙」或「隨便」。
9
To engage readers and lead into the topic
開頭設問是為了引起興趣並帶出主題,並非要求讀者回答。
