1995 08

要點：

• 主詞位置要名詞，動詞位置要擺動詞，不能由其他詞性搪塞
• and 平行結構 要多利用，其前後的詞性要相同
• 注意該放 N, V, adj, adv 的位置不要錯亂：
  • adj + N ： 名詞之前就不會擺 adv
  • ... of ... ： of 前後都要是 N (35, 38)
  • adv + V ： 動詞之前就不會擺 adj
• 單複數的一致(25, 36)、主被動的一致(7, 8, 9)
• 使役動詞： make + O + adj
• 否定句首，倒裝

特殊

• 10. The air inside a house often has higher concentrations of contaminants than does heavily polluted outside air.

  有比較級，幾乎都有 than (除非 adv)，than 引導倒裝句，省略相同動詞 "have"

• 15. Nebraska has floods in some years, in others drought.

  in others = in other years

  drought: 省略 it has

• among 是 prep，會吃掉一名詞當其受詞，主要子句可能因此缺名詞當主詞

  32. In the United States among 60 percent of the space on the pages of newspapers is reserved for advertising__.

  此題應改 among 為 about

• such 不直接與 adj 連用：冠詞位置擺放不一樣 or 改成 very (33)
• be resistant to
• advertising 此字即為名詞：廣告業、廣告(總稱)、登廣告(的動作)
• newspaper 普通名詞，可數: a daily newspaper (一「份」日報)

  (但若指「報紙」的「紙」，不可數: a sheet of newspaper(一「張」報紙))

• 40. While studying the __chemistry of human body__, Dr. Rosalyn Yalow won a Nobel Prize for the research she __conducted on the role of hormones.

  此題雖很明顯 human body 為普通名詞，需加冠詞 or 改複數

  但： Dr. Rosalyn Yalow won a Nobel Prize for the research she conducted on the role of hormones__

  是 __(that) she conducted (on the role of hormones) 省略在 adj 子句當受詞的 that，conduct 是 Vt，而不是與 on 連用的 Vi，that 為其受詞
