國立空中大學 96 學年度上學期期末考試題 【正題】
科目 初階英語
壹、 簡答題:20%。這個部份請不要浪費太多時間。
1. 文法的十二章中,有關如何學習英文方面,本書作者最常講的三個觀念是甚麼?
不要亂翻譯、分段、靠熟悉、瞭解功能(任選三個)
2. 每一章後面的「動腦時間」,最常要同學們做的是甚麼?你有沒有做?
自己找文章練習
3. 我們以前在學校時背:He stopped smoking. 是「停止抽煙」,而 He stopped to smoke.
是「停下來抽煙」;依據本書相關的說明,He stopped smoking. 如何解釋才好?
他停止了抽煙這個動作(事情、活動)
4. 金氏世界記錄記載,世界上最長的句子多達 1300 個字,請問英文的句子是如何可以 拉到這麼長的?
加入許多的修飾語、片語、子句、及連接詞連接更多的內容
5. He is dead. He died. He has died. 這三個句子我們用中文翻譯時都是:他死了。如果依 據英文的原意,這三句話的中文意思應有所不同,請試解之:
He is dead.(他現在的狀態或情況是死亡) He died. (他已經死了) He has died.
(他已經死了有一陣子了)

Lee Myung-bak, a conservative politician famous [for his success][ in business] but dogged [by questions] [about his character], swept [to a huge victory] [on Wednesday] [in a
presidential election dominated] [by economic concerns].
Voters cast [aside widespread misgivings] [about Mr. Lee’s ethics], betting that he would fulfill his pledge to whip the economy [to the heady levels] [of the 1990s], when growth averaged [around 7 percent a year]. But Mr. Lee’s landslide win was tempered [by a new
investigation] that, if he is indicted, could nullify his victory [before inauguration day] [on Feb. 25].
The results [on Wednesday] reflected voters’ deep dissatisfaction [with (the liberal
administration] [of President Roh Moo-hyun], who is limited [to a single five-year term] [by the Constitution]), and (his handling [of the economy]). [By turning] [to Mr. Lee], the
candidate [of the opposition conservative Grand National Party], South Koreans put bread-and-butter issues ahead [of the larger themes] [of (social equality), (political reform) and (reconciliation [with North Korea])] that had captured their votes [in the past decade].
