That is why mothers who want to keep abreast of trends usually 18 the experts-their daughters.
答案:(C) turn to
【句型】turn to 固定片語「求助於/向……請教」;deal with(處理)、head for(前往)、look into(調查)都不合。
turn to 在你腦中的第一個意思大概是「轉向」或「翻到第幾頁」,很少想到它可以是「向某人求助、請教某人」。答對率只有 40%,是這一年最低的一題。最多人挑的是 deal with 或 head for——「處理專家」「前往專家」中文一唸就知道怪,但在時間壓力下,看到後面接的是人,很容易憑感覺亂配。
先看空格後面的受詞是誰:the experts-their daughters。破折號在這裡是同位語,把「專家」等於「她們的女兒」。所以整句是「想跟上潮流的媽媽通常會 ______ 她們的女兒」。前一句已經把理由講完了:There isn’t a brand or a trend that these young people are not aware of.(沒有哪個品牌或潮流是這些年輕人不知道的)。既然女兒什麼都懂,媽媽會做的事就是去請教她們。turn to sb 的意思正是「求助於某人、向某人請教」(劍橋詞典),核心意象是遇到問題時「轉過身去找那個人」,後面接的是人,正好對上。
deal with:處理、應付,受詞是問題或事情;把女兒當成要「處理」的對象語意不合。head for:前往(某地),受詞是地點,不是人。look into:調查、研究,受詞是事件或問題,調查自己的女兒也接不上語意。
turn to sb(向某人求助、請教某人)、turn to page 10(翻到第十頁)、deal with(處理、應付)、head for(前往…)、look into(調查)、keep abreast of(跟上…的最新狀況)。其中 deal with 這一組考過 4 個年度,91 年第 29 題 →、104 年第 19 題 →、109 年第 18 題 →都出現過;look into 考過 4 個年度,99 課綱學測參考用試卷第 29 題 →、101 年第 26 題 →、106 年第 16 題 →都出現過。
