Passage: “Waste has been cut by half since the scheme began.” Which option best expresses the same meaning?
A. The scheme has stopped producing waste.
B. The amount of rubbish has dropped by 50%.✓ 答案
C. Waste has doubled since the scheme started.
D. The scheme was cancelled halfway.
解說
考評局的題目習慣用同義改寫。cut by half 等於減少一半，即 dropped by 50%。選項 A、C、D 都改變了原文意思，屬典型的字面誤讀。
