本屆試題較以往進步，大致沒有太大問題，但是閱讀測驗44題公布的答案是D，根據文章內容，瓶鼻海豚能模仿親屬或熟悉朋友的聲音，因此答案B也應該算對。
以下是試題文章出處及一些修正建議，請參考。

Fabergé Will Release Its First Set Of Jeweled Eggs Since The 1917 Russian Revolution
http://www.businessinsider.com/faberge-unveils-first-new-eggs-since-the-1917-revolution-2011-7#ixzz3f4jVrRzv
The term "Fabergé egg" has become a synonym of luxury and the eggs are regarded as masterpieces of the jeweller's art.
評析：
試題中 The term “Fabergé eggs” has become a synonym of luxury…Fabergé eggs應為Fabergé egg.
另外，“has become a synonym of luxury” 雖然引自原文，但英文習慣上以 “has become a synonym for luxury” 為宜。見以下Google統計：
"This brand has become a synonym for luxury" 約有 81,700 項結果
找不到"This brand has become a synonym of luxury"的結果。
44-47
44. What is the main idea of the passage?
(A) Bottlenose dolphins show strong ties to their family members.
(B) Bottlenose dolphins recognize their friends’ voices in the wild.
(C) Bottlenose dolphins produce whistles that distinguish themselves.
(D) Bottlenose dolphins demonstrate a unique type of animal communication.
評析：

(A) Their data were collected over two decades.
(B) They recorded the calls of dolphins and birds.
(C) Their major research base was in Mexico.
(D) They trained 250 wild dolphins for observation.
評析：
本題 “statement is true about Wells’s research team” 不太自然，習慣上會說：
“statements about Wells’s research team is true”
見以下Google統計（因為 Well’s research team太specific，把它代換為 the research）：
"which of the following statements about the research is true"約有8,980項結果。
"which of the following statements is true about the research"3項結果。
