    (B) deadly
    (C) death

    (A) good as a student
    (B) as good a student
    (C) as a good student
    (D) an as good student
   
    ps.空格後面的連接詞as表示這是一組as...as的比較級。強調語氣時可用quite as ... as，表示完全一樣，其否定即是not quite as ... as。 not quite as good放在一起，成為形容詞片語後，不能在放a student的之間位置，所以只好移到前面，成為B的答案。

    (A) noteworth
    (B) noteworthy
    (C) noteworthly
    (D) noteworthing

    (A) aware
    (B) awareness
    (C) awake

    (A) very
    (B) too
    (C) extremely

    (A) like
    (B) likely
    (C) likewise
    (D) alike
   
    ps.like是介系詞，likewise是副詞，都不能作補語。likely是形容詞，不過意思是可能性不小，在此意思不通，故用另一個形容詞alike。
   
   
12. The lake is ___ at this point.

    (A) deepest
    (B) the deepest
    (C) deeper
    (D) the deeper
   
    ps. 空格是補語位置，而且是單純的形容詞deep，不是 a deep lake的省略，因為 a deep lake at this point(這一點有深湖)講不通。單純的形容詞deep就不會有冠詞的問題，最高級也一樣，因為冠詞只跟名詞走。
   
13. Chopsticks are ___ to use as a knife and fork.

    (A) easier
    (B) by far as easy
    (C) quite as easy
    (D) much easier

    (C) Screaming cats

6. The workers objected to __ like slaves.
   
    (A) be treated

    (D) being treated

   

    ps.object to的to解釋為對某事表示反對，所以是介係詞，應接名詞。

    (B) to say
    (C) I say

2. He is said by his friends __

(A)to be gentle and gracious
(D) that is a gentle and gracious man

Ps. Is said(據說)暗示並不確定，所以要配合不定詞，可刪去d

3. 「I'll help you whenever you need me.」 「Good. I'd like __ me tomorrow.」

(A) you helping
(B) that will help
(C) you to help
(D) that you help

Ps.根據上下文，回答句應該是希望你明天能來幫忙的意思。因為牽涉到會來、能來的語氣，應有表示不確定的助動詞(如B)或不定詞（如C）。又b的構造是形容詞子句，不能放在like後面作受詞，所以選c，以you為受詞，to help做受詞補語。

4. I am a peaceful person. Don't make me ___ violence.

(A) use
(B) using
(C) to use
(D) used by

ps. make是使異動詞，後面加原形做補語。

(A) One must work hard
(B) Working hard is necessary

6. The purpose of the investigation is __ the suspect's degree of involvement in the crime.

(A) to ascertaining
(B) ascertaining
(C) to ascertain
(D) ascertained

ps.主詞the purpose是目的，而be動詞後面的空格是主詞補語的位置，也就是表示目的，所以要用不定詞片語to(代表in order to) ascertain(想確定一下)

(A) shone
(B) to shine
(C) shining
(D) shined

ps.後面一半可還原為 His shoes are shined(他的鞋在…給人擦)。把主詞shoes改成受詞，補語shined改成受詞補語，即是答案。

8. He was made __ the Bible every night before going to bed.

(A) read
(B) to read
(C) reading
(D) reads

(C) legs of the table
(D) the legs of the table

2. The house sits on a ___ road
