題目性質:B 依公開規則編寫(體系定位)+ A 自編(題面、選項與解析)|未取自任何題庫、教輔、試卷或歷年真題原文;解析與採分點為教研整理,非任何體系官方評分標準。
一、材料
Two short notes were copied onto one sheet, each with one blank; the four candidate words are listed below.
Note 1: The notice was put up at nine. ____ the room was checked at ten, two chairs were missing.
Note 2: The notice was put up at nine. ____ the room was checked at ten, the notice was still on the wall.
Both blanks take the same word. Candidates: A. When B. Because C. Although D. Before
兩則短箋與四個候選詞都是隨題擬寫的,不對應任何真實處所或記錄;作答只看這兩則裡明寫的時間與用詞,不另查搭配表,也不要求改寫句子。
二、題目
1. Which word fits both blanks without adding a relation neither note states?
A. When B. Because C. Although D. Before
2. Which comment on Because is most accurate?
A. Both notes say the chairs were missing because of the notice.
B. Note 2 uses still, so Because must be the word for that note.
C. Both notes give only two times, nine and ten; neither says the checking happened as a result of the notice.
D. Before is the only word that keeps the order of the two times.
3. In Note 2, which word shows that the second clause does not undo the first?
A. put up B. still C. at ten D. notice
三題均為單項選擇;答案只按上面兩則短箋與四個候選詞判定。
三、答案與逐題依據
1. A(When)。兩則都只寫了九點貼上、十點檢視,是一先一後兩件事。When 把兩句接在時間上,沒有另添關係。Because 添出前句導致後句的因果,Although 添出讓步,Before 與九點在先、十點在後這個順序相抵。按題面能說的只是時間先後,不是原因,也不是轉折。
2. C。兩則明寫的只有 nine 與 ten 兩個時間,以及各自後句所見:一則少了幾張椅子,一則告示仍在牆上。沒有一句寫檢視是貼告示帶來的結果。A 替 Note 1 添了因果;B 把 still 當成選 Because 的理由,可 still 說的是後句沒有推翻前句,與因果無關;D 說 Before 是唯一保住順序的詞,九點在先、十點在後,Before 反而把先後說反。這裡不替任何詞表裁定 Because 還能怎麼用。
3. B(still)。Note 2 後句寫 the notice was still on the wall,still 明說十點檢視時告示仍在,九點貼上去這件事沒有被後句推翻。put up、at ten、notice 都只是時間、動作或物件本身,不負責這層「仍在」的意思。看短箋時先找哪一個詞在明寫這層關係,比憑印象背固定搭配有用。
四、判定要點與易錯點
判定要點一:先把兩則各自明寫了什麼列清楚——兩個時間、一個動作、後句所見的一件事。凡候選詞帶進題面沒有的關係,先回頭找有沒有對應的一句。
判定要點二:一先一後不等於前因後果;兩個時間擺在一起,也不等於後句在讓步。選詞時看題面給了什麼,不看這個詞在別處常見怎麼配。
判定要點三:still 這一類詞是在明寫「後句沒有推翻前句」,與因果、讓步不是一層;把它當成別的關係的依據,就會把兩則都讀歪。
易錯點:見到兩個時間就填 Because;把 Although 當成任何兩句都能用;把 still 讀成轉折;替短箋補出沒有寫的緣由。
五、文字與依據核驗
| 候選詞 | 帶進的關係 | 兩則裡有沒有 |
|---|---|---|
| When | 時間先後 | 有,nine 與 ten |
| Because | 前句導致後句 | 沒有 |
| Although | 讓步 | 沒有 |
| Before | 後句在前 | 與九點、十點相抵 |
四個候選詞與兩則短箋逐項並列如上;本篇不另查搭配表,也不要求改寫句子,只按兩則裡明寫的時間與用詞判定。
