Passage 1
A Small Cafe on Green Street
A small cafe on Green Street opens at seven A.M., so many students stop there for breakfast before school. The (11) is short, but everything on it is fresh and cheap. Mr. Wang, the owner, gets up before dawn to bake bread in the big oven that his father gave him. (12) His wife, (13) works as the waitress, always remembers what each person likes to drink, although some prefer black coffee while others ask for hot tea. Last month a fire started in the kitchen, and the cafe had to close for two weeks while the walls were painted again. (14), it opened again, and people say it still feels like home.
解析後面說 everything on it is fresh and cheap(上面的每樣東西新鮮又便宜),能把餐點「列在上面」又能說「很短」的是「菜單 menu」。saucer 茶碟雖然也是咖啡館裡的東西、上面也能放東西,但不會「很短」也不會列出餐點;pillow 枕頭、drawer 抽屜都不合。
12
AHe buys all the bread that he sells from a big store.
BBy seven, the whole street smells of warm bread.
CThe oven has not worked for years.
DSo the cafe does not open until the afternoon.
✔ 正確答案:(B) By seven, the whole street smells of warm bread.
解析前句說王先生天沒亮就用大烤箱烤麵包,接下來最自然的是「到了七點,整條街都是麵包香」,七點也正好呼應第一句的開門時間。A 說麵包是向大賣場買的、C 說烤箱多年不能用,都和「親自烤麵包」矛盾;D 用了 So 看似接結果,但與第一句「早上七點開門」矛盾。
13
Awho
Bwhere
Cwhat
Dwhich
✔ 正確答案:(A) who
解析His wife 和 works 之間是插入的補充說明,空格後直接接動詞 works,要用指「人」的關係代名詞 who(His wife, who works as the waitress, …)。which 指物、where 指地點、what 不能接在名詞後面當關係詞。
14
ABefore that
BAt first
CIn the end
DFor example
✔ 正確答案:(C) In the end
解析前面說失火後休息兩週、重新粉刷牆壁,後面說重新開張、大家仍覺得像家一樣,是整件事的「最後結果」,用 In the end。At first 表一開始、For example 表舉例、Before that 表在那之前,時間順序都不對。
Passage 2
Cooking with Grandmother
Every Saturday I cook with my grandmother in her kitchen, where she has taught me many old dishes. Last week we made fried rice. (15), she washed the rice and put it in a pot, and then I cut a carrot and a tomato into small pieces. She let me fry the eggs, but I stood far from the pan (16) I was afraid of the hot oil. The kitchen smelled so wonderful that my brother kept asking about dinner. (17) We ate in the dining room with the whole family and had brown sugar cake for dessert. Grandmother said my cooking was getting better, so I hope she will (18) me to make her soup next week.
解析奶奶一直教作者做菜,又稱讚他進步了,作者希望她下週「教 teach」自己煮湯,teach me to make… 是常見用法。deny 否認、operate 操作、search 搜尋,都不能接 me to make… 表達這個意思。

AHe wants Linda to pay now and get the money back later.
BHe will get to the cafe before 9:40.
CHe is already on the bus to the cafe.
DHe likes tea better than coffee in the morning.
✔ 正確答案:(D) He likes tea better than coffee in the morning.
中譯從對話中可以知道琳達的爸爸什麼事?
解析爸爸說 I prefer tea in the morning because coffee makes my stomach hurt,也就是早上比起咖啡更喜歡喝茶。他說 Do not pay yet,所以不是要琳達先付;他還在等公車(still waiting for the bus),不是已經在車上;二十分鐘後才到,約 9:55,不是 9:40 前。

A Note to a Friend
Hi Amy,
Thank you for the tea that you gave me last week. My mother and I drank it on Sunday afternoon with some toast, and she said it was the best tea she has ever had.
On Saturday my father had a big barbecue in our yard. My uncle, who has just come back from America, brought a bottle of wine for the adults, while we children had soft drinks. We wanted to ask you to come, but your phone was off all day, so I am sorry that you missed it.
Can you come to my house this Friday after school? My mother will bake a chocolate cake, and my uncle, who has heard about you, wants to meet you before he goes back. Please write back.
People eat very different things in the morning. In Taiwan, many people buy a rice ball and a cup of warm milk on the way to work or school, because they are too busy to cook at home. In America, some families eat eggs and toast together, while many adults cannot start the day without coffee.
In France, a cup of coffee and a piece of bread are enough for many people. In Japan, rice, fish, and soup are still common, but more young people now choose bread because it takes less time.
Although the food is different, one thing is the same everywhere. Doctors say that people who eat breakfast can think better at school and at work. So whatever you like, do not leave home with an empty stomach.
