翻譯:
史密斯太太擁有一家餐廳,有一天,二個廚師中的其中一人沒有原因就離開。史密斯太太很焦急且擔心,因為隔天是星期六,屆時餐廳會很忙,因此當晚她打電話給友人,但是沒有人能伸出援手。
星期六,很多人來餐廳吃午餐。唯一的廚師變得很忙,所以他無法忍受,也想要離開。幸運的是,其中一位服務生法蘭克告訴史密斯太太說他可以到廚房幫忙。當天來餐廳吃午餐的人都很喜歡法蘭克做的菜。史密斯太太很開心,並讓法蘭克成為餐廳的新廚師。
解析:
16. 本題應選(B) because
(A) 當時 (B) 因為 (C)如果 (D) 是否
* 史密斯太太感到焦慮且擔心,原因是第二天是星期六,餐廳通常生意很好。二句中的前半是果後半是因,是很明顯的因果關係,所以填入(B) because。
17. 本題應選(C)
* 理由:空格前是主詞 the restaurant,空格應是動詞,本文談論過去的事,動詞應選過去式,(B)、(D)分別是現在與未來而排除。第二天是星期六,就當時而言是過去的未來,(A)也不適當,所以選(C)would be。
18. 本題應選(D) that
* 理由:注意句型 S1 + be + so + adj + that + S2 + V. …是固定用法,表示「如此……以致於……」。
19. 本題應選(A) Luckily
* 空格之後是逗點,表示格中應填入副詞,(C)Next、(D)Finally是表示時間順序的副詞,與此題無關。(B)However是表示轉折前一句情境時使用的,也不宜。前一句提到唯一的廚師受不了想要離開,恰巧服務生法蘭克可以幫忙,對史密斯太太來說太幸運了,所以(A)Luckily 是個恰當的答案。
20. 本題應選(B) enjoyed
* 本句的主詞是people,而後接的who had lunch in the restaurant that day是關係子句限定先行詞people,所以空格應該是本句的動詞,所有談論過去事物的動詞都應該是過去式,所以(B)enjoyed是正確的答案。

解析:

(A) 你一定很小
(B) 你可以把瓶子放在此地
(C) 你不該把廢棄物丟在此地
本題應選(C)
* 說明:有No出現在標語上,表示「禁止」的意思,也就是不可以做此事,故選 (C) You shouldn’t throw waste here.
