📖 題組：
Picture 1: In 6th grade, I tried to get the students to pick me as student leader. “I’ll make class hours shorter. And we’ll have only three days of school a week…” “What? That’s not what a student leader can decide.” “He doesn’t know anything.”
Picture 2: I totally bombed it. “I was the best choice, but why didn’t people know that?”
Picture 3: I became a salesperson when I was 23, and I believed I could be Number 1. “You said you would sell 50 cars a month. But you sold only 1 car in two months.” “Don’t worry. I’ll sell 149 cars next month.” “You said that a year ago.”
Picture 4: I bombed it again. “Hawkins, we don’t need your service anymore. Go pack your things…” “Why?”

思路引導 VIP
請你觀察一下漫畫中主角的經歷：他在第 2 格的計分板上拿了幾票？在第 4 格又被老闆要求做什麼事（Go pack your things...）？根據這兩次事件的結局，你覺得他做事情是成功還是失敗呢？

太棒了，你完全掌握了這題的精髓！這題考驗的是利用上下文（context）推敲陌生字義的能力。 我們來回顧一下漫畫的情境：在第二格中，主角選學生會長卻只拿了少得可憐的 2 票；到了第四格，他當業務員業績慘淡，最後甚至被老闆請他收拾東西走人。這兩段經歷的共通點就是「徹底搞砸了」。因此，雖然 "bomb" 當名詞是「炸彈」，但在這裡當動詞用，配合他淒慘的遭遇，就能精準推論出 "bombed" 是指「徹底失敗（failed）」，選項 (B) 正確無誤。 這類題型的鑑別度相當不錯，難度屬於中等。會考非常喜歡出這種圖文推論題，目的在於測驗同學遇到不會的口語用法時，能否冷靜地從周邊線索（如計分板的票數、老闆生氣的表情）找出答案，而不是死背單字。你能不受字面意思的干擾，靠著圖像與對話順利解題，代表你的閱讀素養非常扎實喔！繼續保持！
