DISCOVER THE WORLD OF BOOKS ~~SUMMAR PROGRAM FOR YOUNG READERS~~ The Philadelphia Public Library is happy to announce our summer program for young readers: Discover the World of Books. The program will begin on Saturday, June 16 and continue until the end of August. Each 1 session of the program will focus on a different nation, region, or city. Our daily Story Time readings will also feature recommended books from or about the area, and they will be available for reading or check-out at a special display case at the entrance of the children's section. Thanks to guidance from The World Library Association and book exchanges with our sister libraries in Mexico City , Rome , Asmara , Bangalore , and Tokyo , original language versions of many of the books 2 together with their translations. Most exciting for young readers are the free Reading Passports that will be distributed to all participants. Young readers who have finished reading a book from or about a particular area can bring it to any children's librarian and receive a stamp representing that area--just like any world traveler! Readers with twenty or more stamps are 3 to enter a drawing to receive a 24-inch diameter globe. Thanks to special financial assistance from the city council, the program is free of charge. Readers between the ages of 4 and 14 are eligible, and can register starting on June 1 at the main information desk. 1. (A) two week (B) two weeks (C) two-week (D) two-weeks 2. (A) will display (B) will be displaying (C) will be displayed (D) will have been displayed 3. (A) eligible (B) electable (C) illegal (D) illegible 解析: 1. 本題考複合形容詞的正確使用方式。在英文中當一個形容詞是由數字加名詞而用連字號 ("hyphen") 聯結而成時,若數字為複數 ( 二或二以上 ) 其後之名詞不可使用複數形。因此 ,本題之正確答案為 (C) two-week 。注意,選項 (B) two weeks 指的是「兩個禮拜的時間」,不可作形容詞用。 2. 本題考正確的動詞時態。首先,由前文可知,整個活動「將於」六月至八月舉辦。而本句所提到的「許多書的原文版」 ("original language versions of many of the books") 應該是「被展示」。因此 ,本句之動詞應使用「未來簡單被動式」。正確答案為 (C) will be displayed 。注意,由於 前後文意並無「至未來某一時間點」之意涵,故表 「未來完成被動」的選項 (D) will have been displayed 並不正確。 3. 本題考相似字形之單字。選項 (A) eligible 指「有資格的」;選項 (B) electable 指「有候選資格的」;選項 (C) illegal 指「非法的」;選項 (D) illegible 指「無法辨讀的」。由空格後的不定詞片語 "to enter a drawing..." 「參加 ... 抽獎」來判斷,最適合填入空格中之單字明顯為 (A) eligible 。 |
