PART 7:同OG13

整體而言,推論型題目頗多,需樣考生小心推理,不能單局限於字面描述,才能選出正確答案。而要做到這點,閱讀速度就要夠快,而快的秘訣在於能spot the keywords

 

   1.      一間家具公司的網路頁面,上面提到某張型號的椅子無法從網路選購This chair is no longer available online.不過可能在一些分店還能買到may be in stock in some stores,所以請網路使用者點進店內資料詢問鄰近店家ask a store near you for availability of this product

有一題問到該公司提供的服務,答案為financial planning,錯誤選項為business finance(只服務企業的)

The North and South bound lanes will undergo construction during off peak hours (details mentioned as follows)後面就細說南北雙向路確切關閉時間。最後提到不想受影響的用路人應該選擇別的道路Motorists who don’t want to be delayed should take alternate routes.

Holly老師特別註記:有關「道路施工」或因特殊事件(如:annual football match)導致「道路塞車」的文章在聽力Part 4裡也常出現,最後多半都會提到建議用路人改道,並成為考試問題之一。

考生可留意並平時培養對這種內容的熟練度。

 

Double Passages雙篇文章共四篇

 

10.  第一篇是一封信a letter,是公司某位工程主管(Mr.某某)寫給上司(Ms.某某),提出退休申請a letter to inform of his retirement,並感謝公司長期栽培,特別是最後幾個月派給該員工的research是有關solar power energy的開發等,讓他覺得收穫滿滿。最後希望能在某個時間前找好接替的人his replacement,好讓他有充分時間交接delegate his work to the new person in charge of the project

 

第二篇是一封email,是兩個月後上司寫給上一封Mr.某某之部門全體人員,提到November 30th這一天會幫他辦退休派對There will be a retirement party taking place on November 30th at the Conference Room,希望大家都能參加,並事先在公司準備好的卡片上寫祝福的話write down your wishes to Mr.xxx on the card。最後提到Mr.某某的replacement,是一位Ms.某某及她的簡歷。

 

第一題問purpose of Mr.某某’s letter,答案為to end his career

有一題問到Which of the following is TRUE about Mr.某某?答案為He has done a good job leading his team members.(文章中有提到)。有一個選項提到He will attend a conference on November 30th是陷阱選項,不可選。

 

11.  第一篇是公司廣告,提供客戶customized print work,客戶可以指定要印甚麼字及放甚麼圖片到公司的眾多商品上,並一一列出各商品種類及計價方式,包含mugs馬克杯、ball penspencils等等。其中特別標示penspencils上無法印圖片pictures。其他商品圖片也簡單教客戶如何上傳及寄給公司。最後提到為了確保客戶盡快收到商品,公司產品一律從總公司寄出To ensure expedited service, all our products are shipped from our central warehouse

 

第二篇是一封invoice,列出該order的諸多細節,如訂購人資料、訂購商品及總價、送貨日delivery dateApril 13th(我月份不確定)、及附註項目(本張invoice右下角用手寫出現3個字:Paid on Delivery表示貨到付款)

 

其中一題推論題問到What can be inferred from the articles?答案為:The order was paid in full on April 13th

 

12.  第一篇是一封email,某餐廳員工寫給同事提到送貨出問題Mistake in food delivery。主要內容為:負責送蔬果等商品到該餐廳的公司不小心把一些蔬菜送給別間餐廳(某某 Inn),一兩天內不致於影響到餐廳出菜,但接著他們要辦一場wedding banquet,就會有問題(並詳說會短缺的項目)。所幸附近有間菜市場open market有開,所以寄信者請收信者過幾天繞過去買書菜,並順道去附近的bakerywedding cake。還有也請他到florist那拿花。

 

第二篇是該Open Market的簡單廣告,提到市場分類(主要分蔬菜區、手工藝品區artwork from local artists等等),最後提到市場開放時間。

 

其中一題問到有關Open Market何者為是?其中一選項提到It provides printed newsletter every week.是錯的,因為廣告內沒有提到任何印刷品

另外有一題是推論題,問到收信者最有可能哪一天去菜市場On which day will 某某most likely visit the open market?答案要靠綜合兩篇的線索(第一篇提到食物可以撐一到兩天 + 第二篇提到市場營業在哪幾天),最後得出答案為Thursday

 

13.  第一篇類似report,提到一個小城內有兩人(某甲是出生在該城native to the city,某乙是該城市的居民resident,擅長煮當地佳餚)。這兩位共同經營一塊專門給artists短期居住及培養靈感的地方artist recreation area,那裏環境清幽,面湖,地緣遼闊,又有當地佳餚,交通方面也有shuttle ferry往返週邊城鎮。另外也在不同季節也有不同活動或可以享受的天然景觀landscape,並一一將它們列出(例如:提到summertime有某個festival在那裏舉辦)。此外也有專業課程教導繪畫技巧等。

 

第二篇是一位學員的review心得感想。他提到自己來自Ireland,並大大讚賞recreation center讓他不虛此行。他學到很多learned a lot about drawing,食物也不錯,也享受了節慶活動enjoyed the festival

 

有一題問到何者為是?答案是某甲was born in the某某city (這邊考native to = born in)同義字替換。

另一題考Part 7唯一一題同義字題:approach。原來的句子大致為:某甲’s unique approach and commitment to the artistic field…

同義字選項有:methodcertaintyavailability。答案為:method

 

* 小記: 這次做完題目後想說來統計看看閱讀100題中這選項分布頻率, 結果意外發現(B)出現頻率稍微高於其他,而(A)為標準答案的頻率最低. 不過這是趣味統計,咱們還是以培養實力及適當技巧為主囉!
