Next Sunday is Mother's Day, and my brother and I want to give our mother a surprise (11) she works so hard for our family. Last night, while she was washing the dishes, we had a good (12): we would cook dinner for her ourselves! My brother will make spaghetti, and I will bake the apple pie that she likes best. (13) So yesterday we asked Grandmother, who used to own a small restaurant, to teach us, and she showed us every step slowly. On Sunday morning we will shop at the market, and then we will cook while Mother visits her sister. (14), we will put the food on the table and wish her a happy Mother's Day.
解析文中依序說 On Sunday morning（先去市場）、then（接著煮菜），最後一步要用 Finally。At first 指「一開始」、However 表轉折、For example 表舉例，都不合這個順序。
Passage 2
Grandfather's Farm
My grandfather was a farmer for most of his life, and he still keeps a cow, two lambs, and fourteen hens on his small farm. Every summer eight of us visit him, and we eat lunch under the apple trees that he planted when he was young. He has three granddaughters, but I am his only (15). My cousin Amy, (16) lives in a big city, had never seen a real cow before. (17), she was so afraid of the animals that she stayed inside the house. But by the end of the week, she was feeding the lambs with a bottle. On the last night, Grandfather looked around the table at all of us and smiled. (18)
解析「他有三個孫女，但我是他唯一的＿」，用 but 表示和孫女相對，要選「孫子 grandson」。granddaughter 會變成「有三個孫女，但我是唯一的孫女」，自相矛盾；daughter 女兒、actress 女演員都與祖孫關係不合。
16
Awhich
Bwho
Cwhen
Dwhere
✔ 正確答案：(B) who
解析先行詞是人（my cousin Amy），空格後缺主詞（___ lives in a big city），要用關係代名詞 who。which 用於事物；where、when 後面要接完整句子。
17
AAfter that
BFinally
CFor example
DAt first
✔ 正確答案：(D) At first
解析後一句說「但到了那個星期結束時，她已經會餵小羊」，可見空格這句是她「一開始」的狀況，用 At first 與 But by the end of the week 前後呼應。After that 與 Finally 都表示「之後／最後」，但前一句只是背景（從沒看過牛），不是先發生的事件；For example 表舉例，也不合。
18
AHe said that he never wanted to see us again.
BHe went to bed early without dinner.
CHe was angry because we were too loud.
DHe said that his family was the greatest success of his life.
✔ 正確答案：(D) He said that his family was the greatest success of his life.
