Re:Health insurance seminar
Date: September 24 I know that many of you have been 1 questions from our colleagues, who are understandably concerned about how the new health insurance laws will affect them. For those of you who haven't already attended, I strongly recommend 2 time in your schedule to attend a seminar on the subject offered by the Percival Center for Public Health. The next one is scheduled for just a few days from now, but several additional seminars are planned for the coming months. Check the Percival Center website for times (most have yet to be announced), and also to reserve a seat. I attended the seminar in August. It was organized by Dr. Janice Ham, one of the authors of the regulations, and I can report that her talk was informative, entertaining, and extraordinarily professional. This is one seminar 3 going to. I know that everyone is busy, but the Leisure Center is just a ten-minute taxi ride away, the seminar is free, and the company will reimburse you for transportation to and from the event. Des 1. (A) fielding (B) dealing (C) responding (D) inquiring 2. (A) to make (B) making (C) that to make (D) which will make 3. (A) worths (B) worthy (C) worthwhile (D) worth 解析： 1. 本題為單字題。由空格後的名詞 "questions" 可知，空格中應填入一「及物動詞」；而由空格前的動詞結構 "have been" 來推斷，空格中所填入之動詞應為一「分詞」以構成「現在完成進行式」。四個選項中唯一適合以 "questions" 作為其受詞者為 (A) fielding 「巧妙地回答」。選項 (B) dealing 作「及物」用時指「發 ( 紙牌 ) 」、「分配」、「予以 ( 打擊 ) 」，明顯皆與句意不相干。選項 (C) responding 作「及物」用時指「以 ... 回答」，亦不適用於本句中。選項 (D) inquiring 作「及物」動詞時為「詢問」之意，但其受詞應為所詢問之事物、 ( 如 "reason" 「理由」 ) ，本句中的 "questions" 則不適合作其受詞。 2. 由空格前的「及物動詞」 "recommend" 「推薦」來推斷，空格中應填入的是可作為其「受詞」的字詞，但由空格後的名詞 "time" 來看，空格中應填入的應該是以 "time" 為「受詞」之動詞的「動狀詞」。四個選項中可以 "time" 為其受詞，再一起作為 "recommend" 之受詞的「動狀詞」是「不定詞」形式的 (A) to make 與「動名詞」形式的 (B) making ，而依文法規範，在 "recommend" 之後應使用「動名詞」作為其受詞。 ( 注意， "making time" 指的是「挪出時間」。 ) 3. 本題需從四個字形、字義相關的單字中擇一填入空格之中。選項 (A) worths 為一錯誤 --"worth" 若作「形容詞」 ( 指「值得 ... 的」 ) ，沒有理由在其後加 "-s" ；若作「名詞」 ( 指「價值」 ) 則屬「抽象名詞」 ，因此 亦不可加 "-s" 。 選項 (B) worthy 為「形容詞 」，意思是「值得的」，但其後需加介系詞 "of" 才可接空格後的 "going" 。 選項 (C) worthwhile 亦為「形容詞 」，指「值得做的」，並不 適合用來修飾 的 "going" 。本題應選 (D) worth ， "worth going" 是「值得去」的意思。 |
