1. 第一題空格應選 (D) 理由
a. 本空格在測試對段落語意連貫性的掌握，空格前一句表示食物的選擇會影響健康，而空格後一句提出水果應該榨成汁還是直接吃這個問題，可推測空格應提及健康與水果的關聯，且應與怎麼吃水果有關。
b. 選項 (D) 表示，健康飲食中的一個必要食物類別正是水果，但你食用水果的方式很重要，語意連貫且符合推測，選項中的 the way（方式）即是後一句問題問的榨成汁或是直接吃，故答案應選 (D)。
2. 第二題空格應選 (B) 理由
a. 本空格在測試對段落語意連貫性的掌握，本段旨在探討吃完整水果比較好的原因，空格前舉類黃酮和膳食纖維為例，而空格後一句以 That is（換句話說）開頭以詳加描述空格所述的狀況，可推測空格
應舉例吃完整水果的益處，且與降低想吃垃圾食物的渴望有關。
b. 選項 (B) 表示，吃完整的水果而不是喝果汁也能幫助你調節食慾，語意連貫且符合推測，選項中的
regulate your appetite（調節你的食慾）也與後一句的 reduce your cravings for unhealthy junk
food（降低你對不健康垃圾食物的渴望）相呼應，故答案應選 (B)。
3. 第三題空格應選 (A) 理由
a. 本空格在測試對段落語意連貫性的掌握，在前一段介紹完吃完整水果的益處後，本段以問句開頭，詢問水果汁是不好的嗎？而空格後一句描述將完整水果榨成汁會去除有益的纖維及聚集所含的糖分，可推測空格應與水果被榨成果汁的過程有關。
b. 選項 (A) 表示，這取決於果汁是如何製作的，語意連貫且符合推測，選項中的 it 指的即是前一句問題中的 fruit juice（水果汁），故答案應選 (A)。
4. 第四題空格應選 (C) 理由
a. 本空格在測試對段落語意發展的掌握，空格前指出水果被榨成果汁後所剩餘的糖分對人體有害，而空格後一句提到完整的水果若與優格、牛奶或蔬菜一起榨汁有好處，可推測空格內容應是轉折，表示水果汁不一定只有壞處。
b. 選項 (C) 表示，然而，上述事實不代表你必須完全避免喝果汁，語意連貫且符合推測，選項中的
above-mentioned facts（上述事實）即是空格前提到的榨果汁過程會去除完整水果的纖維並聚集糖
分，故答案應選 (C)。
