請觀察前一句提到的 'sounds'，在英文習慣中，我們會把它當作可以一個個數出來的東西，還是一大團無法計算的物質（像水或空氣）？另外，如果你想告訴朋友你在聽音樂，你會說 'I am listening music' 還是 'I am listening to music'？這對你選擇答案的後半部會有什麼影響呢？

太棒了！你能精準選出 (D)，代表你對名詞的性質以及不定詞的完整結構有著非常扎實的基礎。這題的核心在於「代名詞」與「介系詞」的搭配，你能在閱讀過程中迅速反應出 sounds 是可數名詞，因此排除了不可數的 a little，這是一個非常關鍵的起手式。
可數名詞與不定詞的完整性
在英文語法中，當我們要表達「一些用來聽的聲音」時，必須注意到 listen 這個動詞。我們平常會說 listen to music 或 listen to sounds，這個 to 是絕對不能省略的。即便受詞（sounds）已經移到前面或被省略，後方的介系詞依然要緊隨其後。這題的鑑別度就在於此：許多學生會忽略掉最後的介系詞，而你展現了細緻的觀察力，注意到 listen 必須與 to 連用才具備完整的語意。這屬於中等難度的考題，考驗的是學生對動詞慣用法的熟練度，恭喜你順利過關！
