Kinkaku-ji, a(n) __(2)__ gold-covered structure. On sunny days, the pond next to Kinkaku-ji provides a
perfect mirror image of the temple.
Another feature of Kyoto that __(3)__ is the city’s geishas. Geishas are women specially trained in
performing arts such as music and dance. A geisha must master the kyomai dance, one __(4)__ to slow music
and __(4)__ to express deep emotion. The kyomai dance truly sums up Kyoto’s charming mixture of

7
 traditional culture and natural beauty.
In summary, no trip to Japan is complete __(5)__ spending at least a few days in Kyoto. This magical
city is sure to leave you with a new-found respect for Japanese culture.

(2)(A)（動作等）小心翼翼的 (B)壯麗的；雄偉的 (C)悠閒的 (D)樂器的
(3)(A)轉變成 (B)一路通往 (C)顯眼 (D)對……縱火
(4)此題測驗分詞片語的用法，原句為...the kyomai dance, one that is performed...and is designed
to express....，省略關代 that 和 be 動詞後，僅保留過去分詞 performed 和 designed

京都才不枉費到日本旅行
2. Have you spent any time in Japan? If so, you __(1)__ have noticed people bowing there. Japanese
people __(2)__ for a range of purposes, including greeting someone, expressing gratitude, and apologizing.
Although bowing is a __(3)__ custom in Japan, it remains an important part of the country’s culture
today. Moreover, what many non-Japanese people may not know is that there are a variety of ways to bow,
and the ability to bow appropriately in any given situation is considered a vital aspect of being an adult. In
fact, many Japanese companies train their employees in how to bow upon coming __(4)__ with important
business partners.
Bowing can be divided into two types: bowing while standing and bowing while kneeling. __(5)__,
many subtypes involving one’s bowing angle and hand position also exist, and are adopted depending on
factors such
as the context of the gesture and the social status of the person bowing and the one being bowed to. Whether
one is a man or a woman can also determine that person’s bowing styles.

解答 (1)B (2)C (3)A (4)C (5)A
解析 (1) be possible to 和 be likely to 均有「可能」的意思，差別在於前者不直接修飾人，而是多以
虛主詞 it 開頭，如 It is possible for sb. + to V，而 be likely to 用於修飾人或事物均可，故為本
題答案。be about to 和 be going to 均有「即將做某事」的意思，但 be about to 較為口語
(2)be seen V-ing/to VR 為感官動詞被動句型。接現在分詞表示該動作發生的「當下」被看到，
接不定詞表示做某事的「完整過程」都被看到。本題只有 are seen bowing 符合句型要求
(3)(A)歷史悠久的 (B)撼動人心的 (C)優美的 (D)（動作等）小心翼翼的
(4)(A)手牽手 (B)坦承親切地交談 (C)面對面 (D)以眼還眼
(5)前句指出主要的兩種鞠躬方式包含站著鞠躬和屈膝鞠躬兩種，但後句 subtype 一詞，表示
仍有更細微的分類，如可用鞠躬角度與手部位置加以區分。故判斷此處空格帶有轉折意味，
應選 however。 (A)然而 (B)因此 (C)在……的時候 (D)代替

country’s customs. Here are a few to get you started.

polite! For people from Western countries, this custom may take some getting used to, but rest assured the
locals will appreciate your following it.
2. Fold your kimono or yukata left over right. For Japanese people, wearing these clothing items involves
__(3)__ many rules. If you’re a visitor, this one rule is the most important because folding right over left is

8
 reserved for funerals.
3. Far from mastering appropriate chopstick use, some visitors don’t feel at home eating __(4)__ a knife and
fork in hand. Therefore, as with the kimono rule, try to remember just this one custom: Don’t stand your
chopsticks up in your food; this too is appropriate only at funerals.
We hope these tips help you upon reaching your __(5)__: Japan. Finally, the most important rule of all:
Have a great trip!

__(3)__ section. Usually, a genkan __(4)__ people’s shoes and ends with a single raised step that signals the
beginning of the main part of the building in question*. Remember to remove your outdoor shoes before you
