障礙句分析
Inside the box was a real and colourful pearl necklace which was waiting for Penny for so long.盒子里是一個真的多彩的珍珠項鏈,這條項鏈等待Penny很久了。
本句是以介同短語Inside the box開頭的倒裝句。關系 代詞which引導的定語從句,指物,在從句中作主語,可與 that互換。
固定搭配解題法
這類題與語法結構題有點類似,但主要慣用搭 酉己,講究詞與詞的搭配,涉及關聯詞、動詞、副詞、形容 詞、名詞和短語等。
例如,第10小題,pull與后面的out of搭配, pull... out of...意思是“把……從……拉出來”。根 據后面的out of可確定答案為B.

Vegetarianism (素食主義) is increasing in the UK as more and more British people are deciding not to eat meat and animal products. According to the Vegetarian Society,2. 000 people are giving up meat and “ going veggie ” in Britain every week. In 1989 a survey showed that 3% of the UK’s population was vegetarian.
