Are the professors in the departments you plan to 28 into experts in their own fields?
答案：(A) get
【句型】get into 字詞搭配「進入/考上（某系所）」，跟後面的介系詞into搭配；join 是及物動詞，後面應該直接接受詞（join the department），不能搭配介系詞into，文法上兜不起來；learn、try 都不符合這個「打算進入……系所」的語意。
本題大考中心未公布逐題答對率，以下不談數據，只談觀念。
四個選項都是很基本的動詞，而 join（加入）在中文裡最接近「進入某個系所」，很容易第一眼就選它。但空格後面那個 into 會直接刷掉它。
先看空格後面：the departments you plan to ___ into。注意 into 這個介系詞——它是決定性的線索，問題變成「哪一個動詞可以配 into」。get into 是通行的說法，意思是「進入、考進」（get into college 考上大學、get into a good school 進到好學校），所以填 get。join 不行：它是及物動詞，後面直接接受詞（join the department 加入那個系所），不接 into。learn into、try into 都不是通行的說法。這一招與 87 年第 27 題正好是一體兩面：那一題的空格後面沒有介系詞（直接接受詞 the name），所以要先問「這個動詞是不是及物」；本題的空格後面有介系詞，所以要問「哪一個動詞配得上這個介系詞」。看到空格後面的介系詞，先拿它去刷選項，比比較中文快得多。（同一份考卷的 92 年補考第 24 題用的也是這一招。）
join：及物動詞，後面不接 into。learn、try：兩個都不與 into 組成「進入某個系所」的意思。
get into（進入、考上）、join sth（加入某組織）、get into trouble（惹上麻煩）、be an expert in（是……方面的專家）、one’s own field（自己的領域）、plan to V（打算做……）。
