Incessant rain 連日豪雨
Incessant有連續不停的意思,「in-」字尾表示否定,cess和動詞cease相關,有停止的意思,「-ant」的字尾則是形容詞的意思,因此incessant就是連續不停。

1.
(A) to know
(B) knowing
(C) know
(D) known
2.
(A) innovated
(B) inspired
(C) contradicted
(D) presumed
3.
(A) trust
(B) order
(C) line
(D) touch
解析:
1. 正解為(C)。題意是「這封信是要讓你知道我將會離開H&A集團。」考的是let這個常見的使役動詞。let後面要接原型動詞,用法let sb do(讓某人做⋯⋯)因此答案要選(C)。注意不可選(A),let不需多加to不定詞,和make一樣,都是加原型動詞。
2. 正解為(B)。題意是「我很感激,因為你一直都在各方面______我。」考動詞的語意。由於前面提到很感謝對方,答案要選一個正面的動詞,因此可以自動淘汰(C)反駁。(A)表示革新,不會用在人身上,都用在物品上,選項(D)推測,完全不符語意,因此最合理的答案是(B)啟發。
3. 正解為(D)。題意是「麻煩保持______。」考慣用語的搭配用詞,保持聯繫的英文是keep in touch,放在文章尾端是結束招呼的用法,因此選(D)。
