答案:(A) else
【句型】anywhere else 字詞搭配「其他任何地方」;too/also/then 都不能這樣修飾 anywhere 表達「其他」的意思。
本題大考中心未公布逐題答對率,以下不談數據,只談觀念。
else 你大概只在 or else(否則)裡用過,或者只記得它跟在疑問詞後面(What else? 還有什麼?),很少想到它可以掛在 anywhere 這種字的後面。而 too 與 also 都有「也」的意思,擺進去唸起來好像也通,於是就猶豫了。
先看空格前面那個字:anywhere。else 有一個很固定的位置——它專門跟在 something、anything、somewhere、anywhere、someone、anyone、everybody 這一類不定的字後面,補上「其他的」這個意思。anywhere else 就是「其他任何地方」。掛鉤是國中每天都在用的 Anything else?(還要別的嗎?)與 someone else(別人)。再看句子本身:onto a wall, ceiling, or anywhere ___——牆壁與天花板已經點名了,最後一項要說的正是「或其他任何地方」。
too、also(也):這兩個是副詞,用來說「某人某物也如何」,不能拿來修飾 anywhere 表示「其他的」。而且兩者意思幾乎相同,依「兩個同義選項必定同時錯」這一招,四選一只能有一個答案,看到就可以一起砍掉,不必細想。then(然後、那麼):講時間先後或推論,與「其他地方」無關。
anywhere else(其他任何地方)、something else(別的東西)、anything else(其他任何東西)、someone else(別人)、or else(否則)、display sth onto(把某物投影到……上)。
At times, it seems like there are not many things that we can give a student who has everything. But 16 that Christmas is just a few weeks away, 17 is a gift idea. Those who have an inclination for crazy technological advances aren't hard 18. One simple way is a few new items that might 19 life more enjoyable. They don't look too revolutionary, but you'd be surprised 20 they are capable of. The following is one of the items.
21 a student who is never on time, there is the new Projection Alarm Clock. Many ordinary clocks are hard to read early in the morning, deceiving students of the correct time, 22 causing them to be late for school. Through a projector, this attractive radio-alarm-clock is able to display the time onto a wall, ceiling, or anywhere 23. The benefits include an easier visibility of the time, and an alarm that gets increasingly louder 24 turned off. It won't magically transport a student to school on time every day, but it just might make 25 a little easier.
