Noisy British fans, after setting off some rockets and fireworks to cheer for 18 team, broke through a thin wire fence and started to attack the Italian fans.
答案:(D) their
their team(他們的隊伍)所有格代名詞,指英國球迷為「自己的」球隊加油,符合語意邏輯。a(不定冠詞,語意應為特定的「自己的」球隊而非任一隊伍)、that(那個,缺乏明確指涉)、each(每一個,語意不合,此處指單一特定隊伍)都不符合。
空格後面是一個單數名詞 team,你會覺得 a 與 each 都放得進去,就憑語感挑一個。
這是指標勾環:空格要的是一個回指前面那群人的所有格。先讀完整句——Noisy British fans, after setting off some rockets and fireworks to cheer for ______ team(吵鬧的英國球迷施放煙火為______球隊加油)。為球隊加油的是英國球迷,他們要加油的當然是自己支持的那一隊,所以空格要的是所有格 their,回頭指向句首的 Noisy British fans。填進去讀成 cheer for their team(為自己的球隊加油)。cheer for 後面要說清楚是為誰加油,而這個「誰」一定要在前後文找得到根據,不能憑空給一個沒有指涉的名詞。
a team 是「某一支球隊」,隨便哪一隊都可以,與「為自己這一隊加油」的情境對不上;each 後面雖然接單數名詞,但 each team 是「每一支球隊」,英國球迷不會為兩隊都加油;that 當限定詞時要指一個前面明確提過的單一事物,這裡前面提到的是兩支球隊,指不清楚是哪一支。
cheer for(為……加油)、set off(施放、引爆)、break through(衝破、突破)、a wire fence(鐵絲網)、each + 單數名詞(每一個)、their(他們的,所有格限定詞)。
