　　給應試者的建議

　　1.read the rubrics for each part carefully. This may save time as you can give information about the overall context for the text.

　　仔細審題。通過審題可以了解整篇文章的大致內容，做題時可以節省時間。

　　2.read through the whole of the texts for Parts 1-3 before attempting the questions. If you start answering questions too hastily by selecting the first options that look possible superficially, you may later discover that you were wrong and waste time doing the questions all over again.

　　在做第*至第三部分的題目時，應該先通讀全文，再回答問題。如果草率回答，到后來發現答案有誤，再重新修改，這樣就會浪費時間。

　　3.make sure that the answers for Part 1 are justified in terms of genuine paraphrases in the texts or extracts, equivalent to the statements, and are not based on a purely superficial resemblance, such as simple ‘word-spotting’.

　　做第一部分時，要理解文章的含義，而不是簡單地找到對應的內容，這種“填字式”的答案往往只是表面上對應而已。

　　4.make sure in Part 2 that each sentence chosen to fit into each gap fits both grammatically and in terms of the meaning of the text both before and after the gap.

　　做第二部分時，所填的每句句子都要和上下句聯系起來看，要做到意思通順，語確。

　　5.read the whole of each sentence in Part 6 before deciding whether a line is correct or identifying an error in it; this is likely to involve reading the next line or previous lines.

　　在做第六部分時，讀句子要完整，還要把前后兩句句子都看一遍，然后再判斷是對是錯，要如何改正。
