Our school has a music club which meets every Thursday after class, and forty students joined it this year. Some of them play an instrument, while others only sing. Our teacher, Mr. Lin, is a real (11) who played in a big band for ten years before he came to our school. (12), I was so afraid of singing in front of other people that my face turned red every time I opened my mouth. (13) He asked me to sing with two friends first, so that I could get used to the stage. Now I stand in the front row. Next month we will give a show for our parents, (14) we practice twice a week.
解析「林老師是真正的＿＿」，後面的關係子句 who played in a big band for ten years 說明他的經歷，可見是「音樂家 musician」。comic 漫畫、fox 狐狸、purse 錢包都不是人，也不能用 who 修飾。
12
AFor example
BFinally
CTherefore
DAt first
✔ 正確答案：(D) At first
解析空格後描述「我」過去很怕唱歌、一開口就臉紅（so…that 句型），後文說 Now I stand in the front row，形成「起初…現在…」的對比，所以用 At first。Therefore 因此——前面講的是老師的經歷，推不出「我很怕唱歌」；Finally 最後、For example 例如都和時間順序不合。
13
AMy mother bought me a new piano for my birthday.
BSo I stopped going to the club after that.
CMr. Lin asked me to leave the music club.
DBut Mr. Lin said everyone makes mistakes when they learn.
✔ 正確答案：(D) But Mr. Lin said everyone makes mistakes when they learn.
解析前面說「我」怕唱歌、臉會紅，後面說 He asked me to sing with two friends first, so that I could get used to the stage，中間要填林老師鼓勵的話：「但林老師說每個人學習時都會犯錯」。「之後就不去社團了」「林老師要我離開社團」都和後文「現在站第一排」矛盾；「媽媽買鋼琴給我」與上下文無關。
14
Abut
Bbecause
Cso
Dif
✔ 正確答案：(C) so
解析「下個月要為家長表演」是原因，「每週練習兩次」是結果，用 so 連接。because 要放在原因前面，填了會變成「因為每週練習兩次，所以要表演」，因果顛倒；but 表轉折、if 表條件都不合。
Passage 2
Learning to Draw
My cousin Kevin is a young artist. He started to draw when he was five, and now he takes an art class every Saturday morning. His teacher, (15) has painted for thirty years, always tells him to look carefully before he picks up a brush. Last month Kevin decided to paint the beach near his house, so he went there every day and watched the sea for hours. (16) Because of this, he made ten small pictures, but none of them felt right to him. (17), after three weeks of hard work, he finished a big (18) in which the water looks so real. His teacher put it near the school entrance so that everyone can view it.
解析空格引導關係子句補充說明 His teacher（人），且在子句中當主詞（後面直接接 has painted），用 who。which 修飾事物、when 修飾時間、what 不能當關係代名詞修飾先行詞。
16
AThe color of the water was different every hour.
BHe forgot to bring his brushes that day.
CHe did not like the beach at all.
DHis teacher drew the picture for him.
✔ 正確答案：(A) The color of the water was different every hour.
解析前句說他每天去看海、一看好幾小時，後句 Because of this, he made ten small pictures, but none of them felt right，表示空格必須是「讓他畫了很多張仍不滿意」的原因——「海水顏色每小時都不同」最合理。「他那天忘了帶畫筆」只是一天的事，接不上 Because of this 畫了十張；「他一點也不喜歡海灘」與他決定畫海灘矛盾；「老師替他畫了這幅畫」與後文他自己完成不合。
17
AAt first
BFor example
CIn addition
DFinally
✔ 正確答案：(D) Finally
解析前面畫了十張都不滿意，after three weeks of hard work 才完成大作，用 Finally 表示「經過一番努力後終於」。At first 起初與時間順序相反；In addition 此外是補充同類的資訊，不合「從失敗到成功」的轉變；For example 例如也不合。
This year ninety paintings hang on the walls. Most of them were made by our students, but ten were brought from the private home of Mr. Wu, our art teacher, who has collected them for many years. Because they have great value to him, please do not touch them.
Food and drinks are not allowed in the room, although you may enjoy snacks outside the entrance. If you want to pick your favorite painting, draw a circle next to its number on the paper by the door. The name of the winner will be shown on the final day, and the winner will receive a new set of brushes.
解析文中說 draw a circle next to its number on the paper by the door，也就是在門邊的紙上圈出號碼。展場雖然在圖書館隔壁（next to the library），但「到圖書館告訴吳老師」不是投票方式；「把畫家名字寫在牆上」「傳訊息給學校」也都沒提到。

My Brother's Band
Dear Ben,
Thank you for the comic books. My brother Sam, who is three years older than me, is a musician. He takes private lessons twice a week from a music teacher who usually teaches young children, and he plays the guitar in a band that plays pop music. Last month the band made its first record, an album with six songs, and two of them were written by Sam himself.
This Saturday the band will play at City Hall. The show starts at seven, and a ticket costs only forty dollars. We usually take the bus, but since my mother thinks it will rain, she will drive us there. Please come to my house at six, which I know is early, because I want to get seats near the stage.
解析信中說山姆上私人課（takes private lessons）、在流行樂團彈吉他、樂團出了一張專輯（album），這三項都正確。文中「教小朋友」的是山姆的音樂老師（a music teacher who usually teaches young children），不是山姆，所以「他教小孩音樂」不正確。
26How will Willy and Ben get to City Hall?
ABy bus
BIn a car
CBy train
DOn foot
✔ 正確答案：(B) In a car
中譯威利和班要怎麼去市政廳？
解析他們平常搭公車，但媽媽覺得會下雨，所以 she will drive us there，這次會開車載他們去。By bus 是平常的方式，不是這次；火車、走路都沒提到。
27Why does Willy ask Ben to come at six?
AHe wants to sit close to the band.
BHe wants to eat dinner with Ben.
CThe show starts at six.
DSam needs help with his guitar.
✔ 正確答案：(A) He wants to sit close to the band.
中譯威利為什麼要班六點來？
解析威利說 I want to get seats near the stage，想坐在離舞台（樂團）近的位子，所以要早點出發。表演七點開始，不是六點；吃晚餐和幫忙拿吉他都沒提到。

Music and Art at School
Long ago, Confucius told his students that music was very important, because he believed songs could make people kind and help them get along. Today many schools in Taiwan still see the value of music and art.
At Green Hill School, every class has an art and music program on Friday afternoon, when students may learn an instrument, sing in a group, or draw pictures. In addition, the school plans to record the best songs of the students this year and send them to every family.
Some parents, who are concerned about tests, think students should spend more time on math and English. However, the teachers do not agree, because they believe that music and art play a big role in a happy school life and that happy students often learn better in every class.
