Most shoppers look at the price first, but the label on the side of the box tells a longer story, and reading it takes only a few seconds. It lists every 11 the food contains, from fat and sugar to salt. A bowl of whole 12 such as brown rice or oats releases energy slowly, while beans and fish supply the 13 that muscles need to repair themselves. Fresh fruit adds 14 C, which the body cannot store for long. Nutritionists warn that a spoonful of 15 poured over breakfast can undo much of the good work.
Questions 11–15
11
Anutrient
Blemonade
Ccriticism
Dapology
✔ 正確答案:(A) nutrient
解析後面舉例 from fat and sugar to salt(脂肪、糖、鹽),這些都屬於食品標示上的「養分 nutrient」。lemonade 是檸檬水、criticism 是批評、apology 是道歉,都不會列在食品標示上。
12
Atexts
Bgrains
Clenses
Dgums
✔ 正確答案:(B) grains
解析由 such as brown rice or oats(糙米或燕麥)可知空格是「穀物 grains」,whole grains 即全穀類。gums 是口香糖或牙齦、lenses 是鏡片、texts 是文本,皆不合。
Mr. Alvarez opens his shop at six in the morning. By seven the counter is full of fresh 16, cut from animals raised on farms only an hour away. Years behind the block have taught him to 17 good meat from poor meat at a glance. He is glad to explain which cuts have firm 18 and which ones carry more fat. Older shoppers tell him that heavy meals are harder to 19 than they once were, so he points them toward lighter choices. Beside the door hangs a small board with an old 20 about eating slowly.
Questions 16–20
16
Ashells
Bbeads
Cchops
Dgums
✔ 正確答案:(C) chops
解析肉舖櫃檯上 cut from animals(從牲畜身上分切下來)的東西是「帶骨肉塊 chops」。beads 是珠子、shells 是殼、gums 是口香糖,都不是肉舖賣的商品。
17
Adominate
Bdistinguish
Cinstall
Dcultivate
✔ 正確答案:(B) distinguish
解析句型 ____ good meat from poor meat 是 distinguish A from B(把 A 與 B 區分開來)。dominate 是支配、install 是安裝、cultivate 是耕作,都無法搭配 from 表示辨別。
18
Agrain
Bgum
Csyrup
Dflesh
✔ 正確答案:(D) flesh
解析與後半句 carry more fat(油脂較多)對比,前面說的是「肉質 flesh」結實。syrup 糖漿、gum 樹脂、grain 穀物都不是肉的一部分。
19
Adigest
Benable
Caccord
Dwarn
✔ 正確答案:(A) digest
解析heavy meals are harder to ____(油膩餐點較難……)指的是「消化 digest」,所以他才改推薦清爽的選擇。warn 是警告、enable 是使能夠、accord 是一致,語意都不通。
20
Aproverb
Bcomplaint
Crepublican
Dapology
✔ 正確答案:(A) proverb
解析掛在門邊、關於細嚼慢嚥的一句 old ____,指的是流傳已久的「諺語 proverb」。complaint 是投訴、apology 是道歉,都不會掛在店門口;republican 是共和主義者,指人,更不可能被寫成一句話掛著。
