A. coffee B. coffees C. cups of coffee D. cup of coffees
【分析】此題容易誤選C，因為“三杯茶”、“三杯咖啡”等的通常表示法便是 three cups of tea, three cups of coffee。但是，選C的同學忽略了一個重要信息，即空格前的 black。在英美國家，有的人喜歡在咖啡里添加牛奶，并且把加了牛奶的咖啡叫做 white coffee，而把沒有加牛奶的咖啡叫做 black coffee。由此可見，上題中的 black 應是修飾 coffee 的，而不是修飾 cup的。另外有個問題，即有的同學認為 coffee 是物質名詞，不可數，不能用 three coffees 這樣的表達，其實，coffee既可用作不可數名詞，表示“咖啡”這種物質，也可用作可數名詞，表示“一杯咖啡”，即在口語中 three coffees 就等于 three cups of coffee。類似地，“三杯茶”既可說成 three cups of tea，也可說成 three teas；“三杯啤酒”既可說成 three glasses of beer，也可說成 three beers。請再做下面一題：
“Would you like coffee or tea?” “We’d like three black _________.”
A. tea B. teas C. cups of tea D. cup of teas
答案選B，理由同上題。注：black tea 指“紅茶”(英語習慣上不說 red tea)。
37. He has changed a lot. He _________ not what he _________.
A. is, is B. was, was C. is, was D. was, is
答案選C，上文說“他”變化很大，即“他”現在不是過去的那個樣子了，故第一空填is，第二空填 was（其實第二空也可用 used to be）。請看類例：
“Look! That may be the same tree that we happened to see two hours ago.” “My God. We _________ back where we _________.
A. are, are B. were, were C. are, were D. were, are
答案選C，We are back where we were 的意思是“我們現在又回到剛才來過的地方”。
38. “Do you think he is lazy?” “I _________ once, but I don’t now.”
A. may have thought B. can have thought
C. may think D. might think
答案選A。從答話人的語境可知，空格處的意思“曾經這樣想過”，即對過去情況作推測，故應用“情態動詞+動詞完成式”，又因為 can 表推測不用于肯定句，故選A。請看類例：
Their answers are exactly the same — one of them _________ from the other.
A. must copy B. must have copied C. should copy D. should have copied
答案選B，既然兩人的答案完全一樣，說明“抄襲”已經發生，故用“情態動詞+動詞完成式”，根據句意，應選B而不能選D。
