#多益 Part 5 連接詞 12 題:unless、whereas、in case 怎麼選(附解法)
連接詞題在 Part 5 每回都有三四題,難的地方不是字義,而是「後面接子句還是名詞」和「邏輯是哪一種」。整理 12 題,括號裡是三個選項和答案,先遮住自己選選看,每題附一句判斷方法。
1. Please call me ___ you arrive at the airport.(as soon as / so that / in case → as soon as)
「一……就」用 as soon as,後面接子句。
2. The order cannot be shipped ___ the invoice is paid in full.(unless / whether / so that → unless)
「除非」用 unless,等於 if not。
3. Mr. Tanaka has not decided ___ he will attend the conference.(whether / that / unless → whether)
「是否」用 whether;that 沒有「是否」的意思,unless 是「除非」。
4. Bring an umbrella ___ it rains during the tour.(in case / so that / even if → in case)
「以防」用 in case,後面接現在式子句。
5. The store extended its hours ___ customers could shop after work.(so that / in order to / because of → so that)
後面是完整子句(customers could shop),用 so that;in order to 後面接原形動詞。
6. ___ the samples arrive, please inspect them for damage.(Once / Until / Since → Once)
「一旦」用 once,後面接子句。
7. Sales in Asia increased, ___ sales in Europe fell slightly.(whereas / despite / so → whereas)
兩件事對比用 whereas 或 while。
8. The flight was canceled ___ the storm.(because of / because / since → because of)
後面是名詞 the storm,用 because of;because 後面要接子句。
9. The office was closed ___ all employees were attending a training session.(because / because of / due to → because)
後面是子句(employees were attending),用 because。
10. The manager was ___ pleased with the results that she gave everyone a bonus.(so / such / too → so)
so + 形容詞 + that;such 後面接名詞(such a good result that)。
11. Applicants must submit ___ a résumé and a cover letter.(both / either / neither → both)
看到後面的 and 就是 both;or 配 either,nor 配 neither。
12. ___ the manager nor her assistant was available to take the call.(Neither / Either / Both → Neither)
看到 nor 就是 neither;動詞跟最近的主詞一致(her assistant → was)。
判斷順序:先看空格後面是名詞還是子句(名詞只能用 because of、due to 這類介系詞),再看邏輯是時間、條件、對比還是因果,最後才看配對(both…and、either…or、neither…nor)。2、4、5 這三題最常互相搞混,建議放在同一張卡上,隔天、第三天、第七天各遮住答案考自己一次。
