第 39 題
📖 題組：
The Wu family moved to Vancouver, Canada in the early 1990s. As they were living in an English-speaking region of the country and hoped to 36 themselves more quickly to the new environment, they made up their mind by stopping using their native language and speaking only English at home. However, when the Wu children grew up and went back to their home country, China, the children had difficulty communicating with relatives there. At that time, they realized that it was a 37 for them not to make their children become bilingual. Linguistically speaking, the most 38 advantage of being bilingual is that those people will be able to communicate with more people around the world. They are more autonomous and do not need to rely on other people to understand other languages. Apart from this linguistic benefit, bilingual people have got the 39 over other people because they have a higher level of cultural and social awareness of another group of people. Knowing the vocabulary, idiomatic expressions, and even jokes of another language enhances people’s understanding of another culture. One more advantage of being bilingual is that people can gain global awareness. Different regions of the world can be more closely connected if mutual understanding between people of different nations can be achieved. 40 , lack of the ability to speak a second or third language can only result in miscommunication and even hostility among people. Since bilingualism offers people many assets at their disposal, it is always wise to learn to speak a second or third language.

在公職英文測驗的語法與慣用語（Idiomatic expressions）題型中，掌握介係詞的搭配與隱喻修辭至關重要。請觀察空格後的介係詞「over」與前文提到的優勢（advantage），此處上下文旨在描述雙語者具備更強的文化與社會意識，因而形成一種「競爭優勢」。在英文慣用法中，哪一個選項能與「have got the ... over someone」構成固定搭配，用來具象化描述那種如同「領先優勢」或「鋒芒所及」的競爭優越地位？
