Some of the most interesting words in English are the actual names of the people first involved in the activities suggested by the meanings of the words. The word boycott, for instance, __(3)__ the case of Sir Charles Boycott (1832-97), a land agent in Ireland whose tenants ostracized him because he refused to lower their rents. Vidkun Quisling's name quickly became an infamous addition to the English language during World War II. He was a Norwegian politician who __(4)__ his country to the Nazis, and his name, quisling, is now synonymous with traitor. A more common example is Levis. These popular blue jeans __(5)__ Levi Strauss, the man who first manufactured them in San Francisco in 1850. Perhaps the most omnipresent of all is the sandwich, named for the Fourth Earl of Sandwich (1718-92), who created this quick portable meal so that he __(6)__ leave the gambling table to eat. Other words in this unique category include lynch, watt, davenport, and zeppelin.

秒殺技巧
語意關鍵:sandwich 讓人「不需要離開賭桌」→ 否定的必要性 = would not have to(過去式情態+不必)。
逐選項分析
A✕ 陷阱
was supposed to 表「本應、被期待要做某事」,語意變成「本應離開賭桌去吃飯」,與短文「創造便攜餐點以避免離桌」的目的相反,邏輯不通。
B✕
has supposed to 在文法上不合英文慣用法,supposed to 正確形式應搭配 be 動詞(be supposed to),此選項為明顯文法錯誤,直接排除。
C✓ 正確
短文說三明治是「quick portable meal」,目的是讓第四代三明治伯爵「不必離開賭桌去吃飯」。would not have to 表示過去情境下的「不必要/不需要」,完整呈現其發明動機,語意與文法均正確。
D✕ 陷阱
should not have to 雖也含「不必」之意,但 should 帶有道義/建議語氣(不應該必須),語感較偏向抱怨或規範性陳述,不如 would not have to 自然表達「為達目的而刻意創造使之不必離桌」的過去假設情境。

would not have to

陷阱提醒
選項 A(was supposed to)和 D(should not have to)都容易讓考生混淆:A 看似符合「過去式」語境但語意為肯定義務,與題意相反;D 雖含「不必」但 should 帶道義批判語感,不符合「為便利目的主動創造」的中立敘述語氣。需同時兼顧文法與語意雙重判斷。
