Department of Food and Health 1. (A) date (B) dating (C) dated (D) to date 2. (A) that(B) which (C) what (D) this 3. (A) goes (B) extends (C) continues (D) runs 解析： 1. 本題考正確動狀詞之使用。 "date" 除了作名詞指「日期」、「約會」外，還可以作動詞指「註明日期」。由於在本句中是用來指 "application" 「申請書」上註明的日期，而 "application" 不可能自己註上日期，因此必須選擇能表「被動」的過去分詞 (C) dated 。 2. 本題考正確之關係詞。由空格後為動詞結構 ("is required" 「是必要的」 ) 可知，空格中應填入可作為主詞之選項。而由前後句構來判斷，空格中應填入的還必須是可以用來聯結前後子句之關係詞。而由句意可推知，空格中應填入可用來代替其前之 "a Food Protection Certificate" 「一份食品安全證明書」的關係代名詞。須注意的是，由於此句中由關係代名詞所引導的是一「非限定」的關係子句 ( 即在該子句前用逗號將之與主要子句標開 ) ，因此關係代名詞不可選用 "that" ，而只能用 "which" 。正確答案為 (B) 。 3. 本題屬單字題，必須選出可表達「持續」之意的字。一般用來表「持續」的動詞為 "last" ，而本題四選項中唯一相當於 "last" 可作「持續」解的單字為 (D) 選項的 "run" ，而 "The course always runs for five days" 即「該課程為期五天」之意。注意， 不可選 (C) continues ，因為 "continue" 是「繼續」而非「持續」的意思。 |
