: 1.Christmas is _____ the air.
: (A)on (B)to (C)at (D)in
: 解答：(D)

in the air 是特定組合的片語，解釋如下 if a feeling is in the air, a lot of

on the air 另有他義。

: (A)fire (B)fires (C)fired (D)firing
: 解答：(B)
: 問題：fire是可數的嗎？不然怎麼加s，我的想法不是(A)就是(D)？
(B) 的答案的確有問題。fire 當 a very strong emotion that makes you want to
think about nothing else 解釋時，是不可數名詞，類似的用例還有 the fire of
religious fanaticism。
Longman, Macmillan, Oxford 等六本學習型辭典都說是不可數名詞。
