1Many experts agree that the secret to a happy life is keeping a ＿＿＿ between work and play.
1. (A) balance
2. (B) deficit
3. (C) passage
4. (D) diary
正解：(A)
逐題詳解（免費試讀）
✅ (A) balance 是「平衡」，keep a balance between A and B 是固定用法；句意「幸福人生的祕訣在於工作與玩樂之間保持平衡」，正好呼應 between work and play 的對比結構。
❌ (B) deficit 是「赤字、不足」，多用於財政（budget deficit）或生理缺損，keep a deficit between 不成詞。
❌ (C) passage 是「通道、（文章）段落」，指空間或文本，無法表達兩件事之間的協調關係。
❌ (D) diary 是「日記」，是具體物品，放進 keep a ___ between 的句型語意不通。
📚 出處：英文字彙；固定搭配 keep a balance between A and B。
2Wines can be ＿＿＿ according to their sugar content to tell if they are dry, medium or sweet.
1. (A) dedicated
2. (B) inclined
3. (C) emerged
4. (D) classified
正解：(D)
逐題詳解（免費試讀）
✅ (D) classify 是「分類」，be classified according to…（依據…分類）是標準被動用法；句意「酒可依含糖量分類，以判別是不甜、中等或甜」，後面 dry, medium or sweet 正是分類結果。
❌ (A) dedicated 是「奉獻、專用於」，be dedicated to 後接目標對象，不表示分類。
❌ (B) inclined 是「傾向於」，be inclined to V，主詞通常是人，酒不會有傾向。
❌ (C) emerged 是「浮現、出現」，為不及物動詞，本身沒有被動語態，be emerged 文法錯誤。
📚 出處：英文字彙與語態；be classified according to 的被動句型。
3When Tim witnessed the horrible traffic accident, he called 911 without ＿＿＿ .
1. (A) hesitation
2. (B) obligation
3. (C) impression
4. (D) frustration
正解：(A)
逐題詳解（免費試讀）
✅ (A) hesitation 是「遲疑」，without hesitation（毫不猶豫）是固定片語；句意「Tim 目睹嚴重車禍後，毫不遲疑地打了 911」，符合緊急情況的反應。
❌ (B) obligation 是「義務、責任」，without obligation 意為「沒有義務」，與見義勇為的語境不合。
❌ (C) impression 是「印象」，without impression 不成詞，也與撥打報案電話無關。
❌ (D) frustration 是「挫折感」，描述情緒狀態，無法說明打電話的迅速果決。
📚 出處：英文字彙；固定片語 without hesitation。

How do you lose weight in the first place?—Mostly, through breathing. While the concept of “burning” fat is not altogether wrong, losing fat involves plenty of carbon dioxide leaving your body. As the Washington Post explains: Researchers found that to burn a pound of fat, a human needs to inhale about three pounds of oxygen and drink about a pound of water. Water can exit the body in plenty of ways—poop, pee, sweat, saliva and any number of bodily fluids— but your lungs handle the brunt of the weight loss. Your fat “goes” into the atmosphere. (And no, it doesn’t contribute to global warming.) When it does go, you’re also releasing the extra storage of vitamins and toxins along with it. That might not sound like a good thing, but in the long run it’s far better to be rid of them. As Popular Science states, a kind of pesticides, among other pollutants, are known to get bound up in fat—they leak into our food supply: Bodies don’t seem to store enough of these to become toxic, but the constant build-up leaves you vulnerable to exposure. And they do start to re-emerge when you lose weight. By losing weight at a healthy pace (1-2 pounds a week), the limited number of pollutants released will not overload your bloodstream. Your urine will make quick work of them. Extreme dieting is a different story. The more weight you lose, the more of these toxins enter your bloodstream. Since we no longer face the same problem as our ancestors—most of us don’t have to worry about whether or not we’ll eat tonight, or tomorrow—fat storage plays a different role in our bodies than previously. Many avoidable health problems are due to this excessive storage of energy, hormones and toxins. Some researchers claim 70 percent of our medical problems can be addressed through a healthier lifestyle, which includes eating better and moving more.

正解：(B)
本題附有逐題詳解，線上作答後即可看到。
Two of the wealthiest African-American men in America live in Chicago, with its large African-American middle- class community. Because both men are named Johnson, their names and businesses are sometimes each confused with the other, aggravating both men. Each is justifiably proud of the business he has created for himself and the position it gives him in African-American cultural, social, and business life. George Johnson is the founder of Johnson Products Company, which manufactures cosmetics. The Johnson Products Company is one of the largest African-American owned companies in the United States, and it is also one of the most successful. Its founders and its corporate officers are proud of the company’s position. They also feel a certain pride because the Johnson Products Company was among the first companies to realize that African-Americans in America were a distinct market group, with distinct needs, and with the affluence to buy and support products aimed at meeting their needs. The Johnson Products cosmetics are all designed for the needs of African-Americans. John Johnson is the founder of Johnson Publishing Company, the largest African-American owned publishing company in the nation. As an office boy at Supreme Life Insurance, Johnson was assigned to maintain a file of news clippings about the achievements of African-Americans, and he noticed that there was no national newspaper or magazine devoted to coverage of African-American news. He borrowed the printing equipment at the life insurance offices, and he raised money for advertisements by mortgaging his mother’s furniture. He knew he was going to make it when $6,000 worth of subscriptions poured in for his first issue. His monthly Negro Digest made him wealthy enough to launch a second publication, Ebony, which was even more successful than his first. Ebony has one and a third million subscribers. In fact, the company had been worth more than $60 million because the company has branched into real estate, banking, and insurance. The officers and owners are proud that this success has come from serving the African- American community, once again proving its power as a market. Life magazine, which Ebony followed in its use of large photographs, has ceased publication, but Ebony keeps rolling off the presses every week. In a word, Johnson Publishing Company is an iconic part of American and African American history .
46What is the main idea of this passage?
1. (A) To provide a short biography of two of the richest African-American men in America.
2. (B) To discuss how John Johnson manages Johnson Publishing Company well.
3. (C) To describe how George Johnson runs Johnson Product Company successfully.
4. (D) To compare why George Johnson runs business better than John Johnson does.
