英銘國考英文周刊-No.30-閱讀測驗篇－國考應援團(原公職王網路書局)

雖然英銘老師常常強調閱讀測驗解題不難，只要看第一段即可知道文章大概在講什麼內容，不過實際上還是會被落落長的英文文章給嚇到。不過這次這篇閱讀測驗還蠻簡單的讀起來也很有趣，小編一口氣就看完了，你不妨也試看看！

A young man was running along the street in a great hurry.

Another man in the street wondered why and asked the man, “Where

are you hurrying to?” Then the young man stopped unwillingly and

said, “I’m going to the Taipei station. As I don’t have enough money,

I’m running after the bus. In this way I can save twenty dollars. Oh, I

see. I’m also going there. Shall we go together?”

Then the two began to run after a bus. They ran for some

minutes and one of them said, “Now stop, my friend. I’ve got an

idea. If we run after a bus instead of getting on it, we can save fifteen

dollars each, right? But if we run after a taxi, we can save more!” Oh,

you are right. I haven’t thought of such a simple thing.” Then, they

found a taxi and started to run after it. Everyone in the street looked at

them and laughed.

英銘解析

英銘老師：閱讀測驗是很多考生畏懼的英文題型之一，其實閱題測驗的的解題並不難，因為外國人寫文章都愛用破題法，只要看第一段即可知道文章大概在講什麼內容。例如在此篇文章的第一段中，有提到“a young man” (一位年輕人)、 “run” (跑)、“along the street”(沿街)，所以文章一定跟“一位年輕人沿街跑步”有關。
