Passage 1
The Calendar in Our Kitchen
Every January, my mother hangs a big (11) on the kitchen wall, where everyone can see it during breakfast. She writes every important day on it in red ink, so nobody can say they did not know. My birthday is in June, and my father's is in December, just before New Year's Eve. My little sister was born in February, (12) is the shortest month of the year. We also mark the summer break in July and August with a big star, because that is when we visit Grandma. (13) My mother says that a busy family needs a good plan. (14), nobody in our house ever forgets a birthday or misses a visit to the dentist.
解析前面說全家用月曆做好計畫，後面說從不忘記生日、不錯過看牙醫，是順向的結果，用 Therefore（因此）。For example 看似可以，但「不忘生日」並不是「需要計畫」的例子，而是做好計畫的結果；However 表轉折、At first 表起初，都不合。
Passage 2
A Winter Trip to Japan
Last winter my family visited Japan for the first time. On New Year's Eve, we went to an old temple, where many people were waiting quietly in the cold for the new year. We were so cold that our hands hurt, (15) nobody wanted to go back to the hotel. On New Year's Day, a family who lived near our hotel asked us to visit them. (16) They gave us hot soup and taught us a few (17) words, which we practiced all the way back. My father says he still remembers the trips he took with his parents in his childhood, and now I understand why. (18), I want to visit Japan again when I am an adult.
解析日本人家庭教我們的是幾個「日文 Japanese」單字，後面還說回程一路練習。daily 每日的、greedy 貪心的、male 男性的，放在 words 前都不合理。
18
AFor example
BHowever
CIn the future
DAt first
✔ 正確答案：(C) In the future
解析前面說明白了爸爸為何一直記得兒時旅行，後面說「等我長大成人要再去」，講的是以後的事，用 In the future（將來）。At first 表起初、However 表轉折、For example 表舉例，都不合。

NOTICE
Messages and a Timetable
Mom: Grandma wants us at her house by twelve on New Year's Eve, because she is cooking a big lunch for the whole family. Here are the trains that go to her town.
Train

Arrives
101
7:10 A.M.
9:40 A.M.
105
9:00 A.M.
10:50 A.M.
109
9:30 A.M.
12:00 noon
Adult $380 / Child under 12 $190
Ken: When we get off the train, it takes us another twenty minutes to ride the bus to Grandma's house.
Mom: Then Train 109 is too late for us, even if it arrives right on time.
Ken: Can we take Train 105? I do not want to get up so early on a holiday, and it still gets us there before lunch.
Mom: All right. I will buy the tickets myself, one adult and one child, so you do not need to worry about them.
解析肯說 I do not want to get up so early on a holiday，放假不想太早起，也就是想多睡一點，所以不選 7:10 出發的 101 次。三班車票價相同；101 次 9:40 就到站並不晚；奶奶的喜好沒提到。

City Library: New Opening Hours
City Library: New Opening Hours
From November 1, our library will open at these new times, which give students more time to study after school:
Tuesday to Friday: 9:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M.
Saturday and Sunday: 10:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.
The library will be closed every Monday. It will also be closed from New Year's Eve to New Year's Day, because we will clean every room and put in new computers that are faster than the old ones.
Adults may borrow eight books for four weeks, while students may borrow four books for two weeks. If you want to keep a book longer, you can call us or ask the kind gentleman who sits at the front desk. During October, our old hours are still used, so please check the clock before you come.
My sister Amy will be twenty next month, so we are planning a party for her. It is on Saturday, March 21, at seven in the evening, and about fifteen of her friends are coming. Please come to our house at six if you can help us get everything ready. Amy thinks that we will only have dinner together as a family, so please do not tell her about it.
Ann will bring the drinks, and I will try to make the cake myself, although I have never baked one before. Can you bring your camera? We want lots of photographs of that night, because Amy will move to Japan in May to study and will not come home for a long time.
解析Amy thinks that we will only have dinner together as a family, so please do not tell her，艾咪以為只是家人吃晚餐，所以她不知道有派對。她是下個月（三月）滿二十，五月是去日本的時間；飲料是安帶的；晚餐也沒說由她煮。
27Why does Peter want many photographs of the night?
AKen takes the best pictures.
BAmy will soon live far away.
CAmy likes taking pictures.
DPeter's camera is broken.
✔ 正確答案：(B) Amy will soon live far away.
中譯彼得為什麼想替那晚拍很多照片？
解析彼得說想多拍照，because Amy will move to Japan in May to study and will not come home for a long time，艾咪很快就要到國外生活很久，所以想留下回憶。請肯帶相機不代表肯拍得最好或彼得的相機壞了，文中都沒說。

The School Year in Japan
In most countries, the school year starts in August or September, but Japan is different. Japanese students begin a new school year in April, when the trees are covered with pink flowers, so many parents take photographs of their children under the trees on the first day.
The students have a long break in July and August because the weather is too hot for studying. They also get a short break at New Year, when many families go back to their old hometowns to visit their parents. However, the breaks are not all fun, because there is still some homework to do.
The school year ends in March, when students say goodbye to their teachers and move up to the next grade. For many Japanese people, spring is the time for a new start.
