幾題mc cloze......AL UE.....高手請進=3= 20分!!

第22題. it's a journey that many ___ but few finish....
A. hope for
B. attempt
C. set out
D. proceed
點解ans 係attempt?? 點樣去判斷.........
When we say a journey that many people joins but few finish, then the meaning is not only join, but there should be some challenges during the journey. With this in mind you can try to see which answer has the meaning of trying to challenge something. Only attempt can fit into this context.

另外呢一句grammar上.....呢個that後面既attempt同埋finish似乎都唔算係verb....呢句that clause係咪有問題???
No. It is – “is” is the verb to be here. That many attempt but few finish is a phrase that explain the journey. So this is a complete “that clause”


第27題.....
In Ethiopia and sudan, border guards make the act of simply getting into the countries an adventure _____.
A. in itself
B. by yourself
C. alone
D. with luck
呢題應該點樣去揀個ans......???
delete the other part of the sentence, the essence of the sentence is that : the border guards get into the countries an adventure…. – an adventure should be followed by “in itself”.

it's a journey that many ___ but few finish....
A. hope for
B. attempt
C. set out
D. proceed

The conjunction 'but' means 不過
A. hope for
這是一個很多人希望得到不過很少人完成到的旅程
B. attempt
這是一個很多人嘗試不過很少人完成到的旅程
C. set out
這是一個很多人啟程不過很少人完成到的旅程
D. proceed
This is an intransitive verb meaning 'go on', 'go forward'
這是一個很多人繼續不過很少人完成到的旅程


'嘗試'和'完成'是最好的對比
Therefore, the most suitable choice is B.

"attempt" and "finish" are verbs.



In Ethiopia and sudan, border guards make the act of simply getting into the countries an adventure _____.
First of all, I think the use of the word "simply" here is not a good one.

A. in itself = in its own nature, without considering anything else 本質上,本身
B. by yourself
C. alone
D. with luck

an adventure in itself = 本身就是一個冒險
make ... an adventure in itself = 令... 本身就成為一個冒險


The Pyramids in Egypt are another wonder of the world and a fitting finish to a long and eventful trip....

埃及的金字塔是另一個世界奇觀，亦是一段多姿多彩的旅程的一個合適的終點。


When 'finish' is used as a noun, it means
1. the end, the last part
e.g. He has been smiling from the start to the finish.
2. the state of being finish.
e.g.The table with a perfect finish was sold yesterday.

The Pyramids in Egypt are another wonder of the world and a fitting finish to a long and eventful trip....

呢句野咩意思...?
finish作為名詞可以點樣用???(我指grammar上...)


這個finish是指終結的意思~
