人郵第二輯真題TEST 2 READING PART 6
Learn your lesson
0 Almost all schemes which claim to be able to transform /25 into / 175 overnight
00 are scams, to be put straight into the dustbin. The exception, however, it may
41 be a little-known new initiative from the government which also effectively does
42 just that. The Individual Learning Account scheme is by the latest government
43 scheme to persuade us of the value of whole life-long learning. The first million
44 people to apply –and there appears to be a long way to go before this limit is
45 reached---are eligible for a 150 grant towards the costs of studying ,but provided
46 that they contribute at least 25 of their own money . Even the offer covers
47 training courses which are obviously work-related but it also extends to more of
48 recreational activities . Whilst there will not be government money to encourage
49 you, for example, to do an evening class in the cake decorating, there could be
50 assistance if you are planning to update on your internet skills. There is also
51 the opportunity to benefit in future years from 20 per cent off the cost of training
52 for IT courses, the discount goes up to 80 per cent , a measure of the government’s
Enthusiasm in ensuring we are prepared for the digital world.
《Learn your lesson》，政府的一個(gè)鼓勵(lì)人終身學(xué)習(xí)的計(jì)劃。
41題，從意思上做。第一句的意思是說，所有號(hào)稱要一夜之間要將25英鎊變?yōu)?25英鎊的計(jì)劃都是騙人的（scam是騙局）。而政府的一個(gè)新行動(dòng)是例外（exception）。如果有also，那么政府的計(jì)劃就是和前面一樣也是騙局。可這里的意思正好是相反的。所以去掉also。
42題，這題答案很明顯。一個(gè)句子主謂賓都很齊全，scheme是主語，is是謂語。介詞by在這里多余。
43題，意思重復(fù)了。Life-long已經(jīng)是終身了，life-long learning終身學(xué)習(xí)，whole多余。而且只能去掉whole而不是life-long，因?yàn)槭且揎條earning的。
44題，正確的
45題，provided that，考慮到,后面provided that引導(dǎo)的句子就是前面一部分的條件，沒有轉(zhuǎn)折的意思，去掉but。
46題，去掉even，要從句子意思上理解。這句是緊跟著上文接著闡述offer當(dāng)中包含培訓(xùn)課程，就是很簡(jiǎn)單的敘述事實(shí)，沒有意思上的強(qiáng)調(diào)，不需要even。
47題，more recreational activities，還有更多的休閑活動(dòng)。直接more后面接形容詞修飾名詞，不需要介詞of。
48題，正確的
49題，do an evening class in cake decorating，上一個(gè)關(guān)于cake decorating的課程，定冠詞the是表示特指的，尤其是上文指代過的，一般是上文提到的。這里就是普通的描述，沒有特指的意思，去掉定冠詞the。
P.S：定冠詞多余，這種錯(cuò)法在改錯(cuò)里非常常見，一路從中級(jí)考到了高級(jí)，多做幾套題，對(duì)這種錯(cuò)法就有識(shí)別能力了。
50題，update是及物動(dòng)詞，后面直接跟賓語，update your internet skills，更新技能，不用on.
51題，正確的
52題，正確的
