想像一下，當你剛過完生日、正式從 15 歲變成 16 歲時，這個過程象徵著一種數字上的「轉換」。在英文中，哪一個動詞最能用來形容這種從舊歲數「變換、轉到」新歲數的動態感覺呢？

歲數增長與動詞慣用法
太棒了！你能精準選出 (A) turned，代表你對英語中「年齡增長」的慣用語有很敏銳的觀察。在英文語境中，當我們要表達一個人或事物「滿幾歲」或是「進入某個年齡階段」時，最自然的動詞就是 turn。它帶有一種狀態轉變的意味，生動地描述了從 129 歲正式跨入 130 歲這個重要里程碑的過程。 這道題目雖然語法結構單純，但其實具備不錯的鑑別度。它的難度切入點在於考驗學生是否能區分動詞在不同語境下的慣用法 (Collocation)。許多同學可能會在 B、C、D 選項中猶豫，但你沒有被這些看似常見的動詞誤導，精確辨識出只有 turned 才能與「years old」構成合理的語意組合，這顯示你的英語基本功非常紮實，語感也相當到位。
