: 這是我在做TOEIC遇到的問題,不知道是我的觀念錯誤,還是答案錯誤.
: 希望板上的大大可以幫我解答疑問.謝謝!!
: 1. If there is a reason for ______ of the airconditioner, call
: the customer service department.
: (A)repairable (B)repaired (C)repairs (D)repairing
: 答案是: (C)
: 疑問: "for" 不是介係詞嗎? 為什麼不是用(D)?

你應該換一個思維想: repair可以當名詞用的喔!!!!
for repair 是一個介系詞片語 repair可為可數或以不可數呈現
舉例: I took my bike in for repair.

: 2. Hotel room charges are subject to a 10% value added tax.
: 疑問: 句中的"are subject to "要做何解釋??

be subject to +名詞 有三種意思
1.a) if someone or something is subject to something,
especially something bad, it is possible or likely
that they will be affected by it
=> All flights are subject to delay. Prices are subject to change .
b) if something is subject to something such as approval,
it depends on that thing happening before it can happen
=> The funding is subject to approval by the Board of Education.
2.be subject to a rule/law/penalty/tax etc
if you are subject to a rule, law, penalty etc,
you must obey the rule or pay an amount of money
=> Violators are subject to a $100 fine
3 [only before noun] formal a subject country, state,
people etc are strictly governed by another country

那到底是哪一個解釋呢? 由上下文我們可以推測
就是紅色的用法!!!!(因為tax)
中文試譯: 旅館費用包括原價10%額外加稅。

: 3. Tickets can be ______ to the driver as you bored the bus.
: (A)presented (B)allowed (C)considered (D)purchased
: 答案是: (A)
: 疑問:為什麼會是選(A)而不是(D)?

在五家學習性辭典對單字解釋最準的麥克米蘭字典中
對於present(verb)第七個解釋寫到:

to show something such as a passport to someone
in an official position so that they can check it:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^注意這六字
e.g.The soldiers stopped them and said they must present their papers.
句型: present something to someone:
e.g.He presented his passport to the guard for inspection.

在這裡 present是指呈現，拿出而使物體有效力(法律上或團體中)
因此選(A)
一下子看得出來是(A)，是因為上下文中 提到as you bored the bus
當你上車要拿給司機車票 就國外的習慣而言(英語系國家) 你應該不會要用買的
另外我沒找到be purchased to這種用法 應該是purchase from吧= ="
(我五家學習性辭典的光碟加merriam-webster 大學辭典六本都查過了)
(B)allow 常用在人允許入場 進入許可 (C)你應該不會考慮要選這個吧
