人郵第二輯真題TEST 2 READING PART 6
　　Learn your lesson
　　0 Almost all schemes which claim to be able to transform /25 into / 175 overnight
　　00 are scams, to be put straight into the dustbin. The exception, however, it may
　　41 be a little-known new initiative from the government which also effectively does
　　42 just that. The Individual Learning Account scheme is by the latest government
　　43 scheme to persuade us of the value of whole life-long learning. The first million
　　44 people to apply –and there appears to be a long way to go before this limit is
　　45 reached---are eligible for a 150 grant towards the costs of studying ,but provided
　　46 that they contribute at least 25 of their own money . Even the offer covers
　　47 training courses which are obviously work-related but it also extends to more of
　　48 recreational activities . Whilst there will not be government money to encourage
　　49 you, for example, to do an evening class in the cake decorating, there could be
　　50 assistance if you are planning to update on your internet skills. There is also
　　51 the opportunity to benefit in future years from 20 per cent off the cost of training
　　52 for IT courses, the discount goes up to 80 per cent , a measure of the government’s
　　Enthusiasm in ensuring we are prepared for the digital world.

　　《Learn your lesson》，政府的一個鼓勵人終身學習的計劃。
　　41題，從意思上做。第一句的意思是說，所有號稱要一夜之間要將25英鎊變為125英鎊的計劃都是騙人的（scam是騙局）。而政府的一個新行動是例外（exception）。如果有also，那么政府的計劃就是和前面一樣也是騙局。可這里的意思正好是相反的。所以去掉also。
　　42題，這題答案很明顯。一個句子主謂賓都很齊全，scheme是主語，is是謂語。介詞by在這里多余。
　　43題，意思重復了。Life-long已經是終身了，life-long learning終身學習，whole多余。而且只能去掉whole而不是life-long，因為是要修飾learning的。
　　44題，正確的
　　45題，provided that，考慮到,后面provided that引導的句子就是前面一部分的條件，沒有轉折的意思，去掉but。
　　46題，去掉even，要從句子意思上理解。這句是緊跟著上文接著闡述offer當中包含培訓課程，就是很簡單的敘述事實，沒有意思上的強調，不需要even。
　　47題，more recreational activities，還有更多的休閑活動。直接more后面接形容詞修飾名詞，不需要介詞of。
　　48題，正確的
　　49題，do an evening class in cake decorating，上一個關于cake decorating的課程，定冠詞the是表示特指的，尤其是上文指代過的，一般是上文提到的。這里就是普通的描述，沒有特指的意思，去掉定冠詞the。
　　P.S：定冠詞多余，這種錯法在改錯里非常常見，一路從中級考到了高級，多做幾套題，對這種錯法就有識別能力了。
　　50題，update是及物動詞，后面直接跟賓語，update your internet skills，更新技能，不用on.
　　51題，正確的
　　52題，正確的
