8Signs around the lake visitors to swim after dark.
Arecognize
Bapprove
Cgrant
Dforbid
✔ 正確答案：(D) forbid
中譯湖邊的告示牌禁止遊客在天黑後游泳。
解析forbid sb. to V 意為「禁止某人做某事」，正符合告示牌的作用。approve 贊成、recognize 認出、grant 准予，都不能用這個句型表達禁止。
單字forbid 禁止、阻止、approve 贊成、批准、grant 准予、同意
9Only one came for the interview, because very few people applied.
Aphilosopher
Bcandidate
Ctypist
Deditor
✔ 正確答案：(B) candidate
中譯只有一位應試者來面試，因為申請的人非常少。
解析came for the interview 指前來面試的「應試者、候選人 candidate」。philosopher 哲學家、typist 打字員、editor 編輯都是職稱，不是應徵者的身分。
單字candidate 候選人、應試者、typist 打字員、philosopher 哲學家
10The noise from the night market was , so we still managed to fall asleep.
Aconstant
Bvast
Ctolerable
Dinformal
✔ 正確答案：(C) tolerable
中譯夜市傳來的噪音還在可以忍受的範圍，所以我們還是睡著了。
解析由 so we still managed to fall asleep（還是睡著了）可知噪音是「可容忍的 tolerable」。constant 連續不斷的、vast 廣大的、informal 非正式的，都接不出這個結果。
單字tolerable 可容忍的、還可以的、constant 連續不斷的、vast 廣闊的、大量的

Passage 1
Where Travelers Sleep
Travelers today have more choices than ever. A young backpacker carrying one heavy piece of 11 may look for a cheap 12, where beds are shared and the kitchen is open to everyone. A family driving across the island often stops at a 13 beside the highway, because they can park right outside the door. Older visitors may prefer a small country 14 with six rooms and a hot breakfast. Whatever the budget, travel writers give the same 15: book early, read recent reviews, and check exactly what the price includes.
Questions 11–15
11
Aapplause
Bheel
Cdust
Dluggage
✔ 正確答案：(D) luggage
解析one heavy piece of ____ 指「一大件行李 luggage」。applause 掌聲、dust 灰塵、heel 腳後跟皆不合。
12
Asocket
Bautobiography
Chostel
Dorgan
✔ 正確答案：(C) hostel
解析由 cheap、beds are shared（床位共用）可知是「青年旅社 hostel」。autobiography 自傳、socket 插座、organ 器官皆與住宿無關。
13
Aphilosopher
Btypist
Cmoustache
Dmotel
✔ 正確答案：(D) motel
解析beside the highway、車可停在房門外，正是「汽車旅館 motel」的特色。其他三個都是人或物，不是住宿地點。
14
Aswell
Binn
Crank
Dpound
✔ 正確答案：(B) inn
解析small country ____ with six rooms 指鄉間的「小旅館 inn」。rank 級別、swell 腫脹、pound 猛擊皆不通。
Every summer this quiet fishing town fills with visitors, and 16 is now its biggest industry. Most people come by bus and stay for only one day. In the morning they join a guided 17 to the waterfall in the hills; in the afternoon they walk along the harbor and buy a small wooden bird as a 18. Shopkeepers welcome the money; 19, some older residents complain that the streets are far too crowded and that rents keep rising. The council now plans to limit the number of buses, hoping to make August more 20 for everyone.

Slow Travel Is Winning
A growing number of travelers now say that the journey matters more than the list of places they tick off. Instead of visiting eight cities in ten days, they choose one small town and stay there for a week.
Guides call this slow travel. Its followers spend less time on buses and more time in markets and parks. They argue that racing past famous sites is not real sightseeing at all; by the fourth day most travelers can no longer remember what they photographed.
Hotels have noticed the change. Some now offer lower prices for stays of five nights or more, and run cooking classes instead of bus tours.
