These nets are recognized by medical experts as the best hope for 22 the spread of malaria-Cambodia's most deadly disease. 23 the Health Ministry and the Malaria Center, The CAMBODIA DAILY will distribute the nets to the most 24 areas of the country. 25 to this campaign and save three lives for only $5, send your donation to: American Assistance for Cambodia, P.O.
答案:(D) In conjunction with
in conjunction with 是「與…聯合、共同」,本句指《柬埔寨日報》與衛生部、瘧疾中心合作發送蚊帳;in view of(有鑑於)、in spite of(儘管)、in case of(萬一)語意都不合。
conjunction 你大概只在文法課上見過,指的是「連接詞」。in conjunction with 是另一回事,意思是「與…聯合、聯手」,等於 together with、in cooperation with。
先看選項:四個都是片語,這一題考的是片語的意思,不是文法。接著回到文章找作答線索,線索就在空格前後:前面是 The CAMBODIA DAILY will distribute the nets(《柬埔寨日報》將發送蚊帳),後面是 the Health Ministry and the Malaria Center(衛生部與瘧疾中心)。一邊是報社,一邊是兩個官方單位,兩者共同執行同一件事,語意關係是聯合,不是「儘管」「萬一」或「有鑑於」。本篇是募款廣告,強調的正是這一點:與官方單位合作,捐款用途可信。凡是四個選項同為片語的題目,判斷步驟相同:先確認空格前後各是什麼,再判斷兩者的語意關係。
這四個 In… 片語形式相近,是常考的一組,宜整組一起記。in view of(有鑑於、考量到),後面接的是理由;in spite of(儘管,=despite),後面接的是不利條件,與主句成語意對比關係;in case of(萬一發生…時),後面接的是尚未發生的狀況。
in conjunction with(與…聯合)、in cooperation with(與…合作)、in partnership with(與…結盟)、in view of(有鑑於)、in spite of(儘管)、in case of(萬一)。其中 in spite of 這一組考過 9 個年度,86 年第 21 題 →、89 年第 30 題 →、99 年第 24 題 →、99 年第 28 題 →、105 年第 29 題 →、106 年第 19 題 →、107 年第 30 題 →、109 年第 29 題 →、112 年第 15 題 →都出現過。
