  For some museums in the world, love is in the air all year round.The Palazzo Filomela in Venice is better known as the Museum of Love.This museum was once the private home of a famous 16th-century singer.On the walls, you can see paintings of legendary lovers, such as the god Cupid and his lover, Psyche.
  For many, love and chocolate go hand in hand, so a visit to the Chocolate Museum in Cologne, Germany, makes sense.There, visitors can learn about the history of chocolate and watch chocolate bars being made.The museum also gives out wafers that were dipped in chocolate from a three-meter-high chocolate fountain.
  What is more, the Diamond Museum Amsterdam in Holland is the place to go when your’re ready to take your love to the next level.At this museum, you can learn about diamonds, including how to tell a real one from a fake one.You may also get some ideas about which diamond to buy when you’re getting engaged.
  Shakespeare once wrote, “Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind.” Thanks to these special museums, we can all open our minds to, and fill our hearts with, love.
71.Where is the museum which was once the home of a famous 16th century singer?答案顯示:【C】
(A)Amsterdam(B)Cologne(C)Venice(D)Shakespeare
72.What do you think Shakespeare means in “ Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind?” 答案顯示:【C】
(A)Love is blind and irrational.(B)Love is not what you see neither what you think. (C)Love is not seeing the appearance but the inside of a person.(D)Love at first sight is not reliable.
73.According to the article, which museum would you go if you were about to ask someone to marry you?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Palazzo Filomela(B)Chocolate Museum(C)Museum of Relationship(D)Diamond Museum Amsterdam
74.Why is the author writing about a chocolate museum in this article?答案顯示:【D】

  As a flood of news headlines highlighting overtourism, it's easy to think that the planet is simply full.But away from the well-worn tourist trails, you'll discover another travel story entirely different.
  In much of the world, there are places that are eager to welcome tourists.Based on the most recent data by the United Nations World Tourism Organization(UNWTO), in 2017, nearly 87 million international tourists arrived in France; yet mere 2,000 international tourists visited the South Pacific country of Tuvalu, where it's easy to find a beach -- or even an entire island -- to yourself.The same data reflect many of the world's least-visited countries and territories, where you'll find gorgeous natural beauty, culture and history without pushing through bunches of selfie sticks.
  Imagine lounging on Sierra Leone beaches, exploring Liechtenstein's mountaintop castles orshipwreck diving in the South Pacific! How rewarding it can be to leave the popular sites behind.If you can't picture a week in Kiribati or imagine the flavor of Timor Leste's traditional cuisine, it's OK.By spinning the globe and booking a flight to a country you know little about, you'll infuse the journey with a sense of wonder.That, after all, is what travel is for.
76.The number shown in the data of UNWTO concerning international tourists to France is an indication of[ ].答案顯示:【C】
(A)Wonderful trip(B)Romantic tour(C)Overtourism(D)Gorgeous experience
77.What is common between Sierra Lione and Tuvalu, as described in this passage?答案顯示:【A】

78.“Bunches of selfie sticks” is an indication of[ ].答案顯示:【B】
(A)high technology(B)tourist crowd(C)tourist attraction(D)tour information
79.In the article, the author seems to encourage the reader to[ ].答案顯示:【B】
(A)visit well-worn trails(B)travel to least-visited countries(C)go to the beaches(D)go mountain hiking
80.“Spinning the globe and booking a flight to a country you know little about” is a promotion of[ ].答案顯示:【D】
(A)business travel(B)cruise travel(C)holiday travel(D)adventure travel

  Creative Restaurant Review
  by Rebecca Wong
  Like several restaurants that have recently opened in town, Creative Restaurant is different from a traditional one that provides a menu for customers to choose from.Instead, it is a new kind of restaurant that offers their dishes without a menu.Guests who are interested in trying their cuisine simply need to make a phone reservation, informing the staff in the restaurant of their budget for the meals.The restaurant will take care of the rest and there is no need for customers to worry about what they will eat.But booking well in advance is a must as the restaurant needs to prepare their food much earlier in order to meet customers’ expectations.Since this kind of menuless restaurant affords high-quality food and service, guests need to be aware that they expect to pay more and the quality of the food provided by the restaurant varies according to the price they pay for.Yet, this type of restaurant strives for good reputation.The food and service they offer does reach a high standard.It is also a kind of featured restaurant whose offer of high-quality food is promised to fulfill customers’ satisfaction.
  My experience of eating in this kind of restaurant is superb.Once I went eat there with a couple of colleagues.We ordered a table and each one of us paid for our own share.Each dish they offered was like a piece of artwork that catered to our senses.Not only did it offer a mixture of local and exotic food, the cooking styles it afforded range from the East to the West.They blended food from different countries and cultures so well that when you savor each dish, you never experience contradiction and even cultural shock.Further, each dish comes with artistic and colorful garnishes and decorations.Even the plates and bowls that go with the cuisine are well-designed and magnificent.It is truly a tantalizing experience.No wonder that this kind of restaurant is really popular among foodies and tourists.There is also no way that you can just pop into the restaurant and eat as all the tables are fully booked for months.But eating in this type of restaurant is certainly an experience you should have in a lifetime.Don’t miss it and invite your friends to join you to enjoy your time together.
71.Where does this kind of review usually get published?答案顯示:【C】
(A)in a referred journal(B)in a car magazine(C)in a newspaper(D)in a science report
72.Who are the most likely intended readers for this review?答案顯示:【B】
(A)Children who are hungry without food(B)Gourmets with excellent taste buds. (C)Tourists who go on adventure tours(D)Scientists who study animals’ diseases.
73.In which aspect can this type of restaurant be called creative?答案顯示:【A】
(A)The dishes it makes contain a lot of creativity.(B)They design the restaurant in an innovative way. (C)The staff working in the restaurant is very smart.(D)The guests are served in a comfortable manner.
74.Why has this kind of restaurant become popular?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Because people have no unique restaurant to go to.(B)Because this restaurant offers expensive food. (C)Because servers in this restaurant are friendly.(D)Because it offers high-quality food with a difference.
75.Is this article a mixed review?答案顯示:【B】
(A)Yes, it gets written from a personal opinion(B)No, it only looks from the good side. (C)Yes, there is a hint of confusion(D)No, it doesn’t offer figures.

  Plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental issues, as rapidly increasing production of disposable plastic products overwhelms the world’s ability to deal with them.Plastic pollution is most visible in developing Asian and African nations, where garbage collection systems are often inefficient or nonexistent.But the developed world, especially in countries with low recycling rates, also has trouble properly collecting discarded plastics.
  Plastics made from fossil fuels are just over a century old.Production and development of thousands of new plastic products accelerated after World War II, so transforming the modern age that life without plastics would be unrecognizable today.Plastics revolutionized medicine with life-saving devices, made space travel possible, lightened cars and jets—saving fuel and pollution—and saved lives with helmets, incubators, and equipment for clean drinking water.The conveniences plastics offer, however, led to a throw-away culture that reveals the material’s dark side: today, single-use plastics account for 40 percent of the plastic produced every year.Many of these products, such as plastic bags and food wrappers, have a lifespan of mere minutes to hours, yet they may persist in the environment for hundreds of years.
  Every year, about 8 million tons of plastic waste escapes into the oceans from coastal nations.That’s the equivalent of setting five garbage bags full of trash on every foot of coastline around the world.Once at sea, sunlight, wind, and wave action break down plastic waste into small particles, often less than one-fifth of an inch across.These so-called microplastics are spread throughout the water column and have been found in every corner of the globe, from Mount Everest, the highest peak, to the Mariana Trench, the deepest trough.Microplastics are breaking down further into smaller and smaller pieces.Plastic microfibers, meanwhile, have been found in municipal drinking water systems and drifting through the air.Millions of animals are killed by plastics every year, from birds to fish to other marine organisms.Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by plastics.Microplastics have been found in more than 100 aquatic species, including fish, shrimp, and mussels destined for our dinner plates.
  Once in the ocean, it is difficult to retrieve plastic waste.Mechanical systems, such as Mr.Trash Wheel, a litter interceptor in Maryland’s Baltimore Harbor, can be effective at picking up large pieces of plastic, such as foam cups and food containers, from inland waters.But once plastics break down into microplastics and drift throughout the water column in the open ocean, they are virtually impossible to recover.The solution is to prevent plastic waste from entering rivers and seas in the first place.This could be accomplished with improved waste management systems and recycling, better product design that takes into account the short life of disposable packaging, and reduction in manufacturing of unnecessary single-use plastics.
76.Which of the following is NOT considered to be making good use of plastics according to the passage?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Equipment for clean water(B)Cars lightened for saving fuel (C)Helmets made for saving lives(D)Food wrappers for conveniences
77.Which of the following is closest in meaning to “pressing”?答案顯示:【B】
(A)drifting(B)urgent(C)destined(D)invisible
78.Which of the following statements is NOT true?答案顯示:【C】
(A)Developed countries with low recycling rates have problem collecting throwaway plastics.(B)Production of many different new plastic products sped up very fast after World War II. (C)The largest quantity of plastic goods that are produced every year is for single-use.(D)Microplastics can be found everywhere, from the highest mountain to the deepest trench.
79.What does the term “Mr.Trash Wheel” refer to?答案顯示:【A】
(A)A device in a river to collect litter and debris(B)A scientist studying how to remove microfibers (C)An endangered species affected by microplastics(D)An organization for waste management systems
80.Which of the following is similar in meaning to “aquatic species”?答案顯示:【B】
(A)nonexistent animals(B)marine organisms(C)litter interceptors(D)disposal packaging

  Would you ever eat a plant whose genes were altered by scientists in a laboratory? You probably already have, for genetically modified organisms(GMOs), also known as genetically engineered organisms, are[16]in modern food supplies.The concept underlying genetic modification is not new.For centuries, farmers have used a method called selective breeding to produce more[17]crops.They do this by choosing seeds from plants that appear to be particularly[18]to pests and cold or dry weather and planting those seeds in place of weaker strains.Over time, the desirable strains come to dominate the genetic[19]of the farmers’ crops.Not everyone is supportive of the technology, however.Critics point to the fact that GM foods are simply too new to be embraced,[20]that there could exist long-term health risks that have yet to surface.For instance, consumers with allergies have had adverse reaction to the implanted genes.

請依下文回答第 21 題至第 25 題
  Post-traumatic stress disorder is a malady of memory.Sufferers are often haunted by recurrent nightmares, distressing thoughts and flashbacks so intense in color, smell and sound that they feel as if they are reliving the trauma.But what if these unbearable memories could be selectively erased? Sheena Josselyn, a professor of physiology and psychology, who studies how the brain encodes, stores and uses information, is intrigued by the idea and has been investigating how to “silence” memories --make them temporarily inaccessible-- in mice.She thinks it’s possible that a variation of this technique could one day help treat post-traumatic stress disorder in humans.
  Studies with mice have found that although their brains contain billions of neurons, only a few are necessary to form a fearful memory.Researchers working with mice began by teaching them to fear a tone: when it sounds, they feel a mild shock to their feet(not to hurt them, just to scare them).The next time the mice hear the tone, they crouch and freeze, signaling fear.The researchers discovered that they could trigger the memory of that fear even without presenting the tone.They did this by stimulating the small group of nerve cells holding that memory through a technology called optogenetics.Using the same technology, they found they could also suppress the fearful memory.With optogenetics, scientists insert proteins into neurons to make them sensitive to light.Depending on the type of protein and color of light used, these cells can then be activated or deactivated by shining pulses of the light directly into the brain.If the light activates the cells, the mice freeze as if they’ve just heard the tone.If the light deactivates the cells, the memory is suppressed.While optogenetics is an invasive procedure and technologically not feasible with humans, Josselyn hopes that the general principles learned from these studies could eventually help scientists create new drugs for treating memory disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder and Alzheimer’s.
  But should you erase a bad memory? Absolutely not, says Josselyn.She emphasizes that this future technology should not be applied to everyday bad things, and that these discoveries need to go hand in hand with a real thinking about the ethics involved in potentially manipulating memories in people.Their use would only be considered in extreme cases after all other treatment options have been explored.The goal is not to sanitize life or make people super happy, but rather to make everyone a functional person, capable of moments of joy.
21.What would be the best title of this passage?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Possible Causes of Memory Loss.(B)Post-traumatic Stress Disorder. (C)Studies of Trauma in Humans.(D)Suppressing Fearful Memories.
22.What did researchers do to form a fearful memory of a tone in mice?答案顯示:【A】
(A)The researchers gave mice a mild shock when the tone sounded. (B)The researchers inserted proteins into the mice’s brains. (C)The mice were shown pulses of light when hearing the tone. (D)The scientists used different colors of light to activate the mice’s cells.
23.Which of the following is a reason that future technology should not be used to erase a bad memory in humans?答案顯示:【C】
(A)Optogenetics is an invasive procedure. (B)Humans’ brains are different from mice’s. (C)Technology should not be used to manipulate memories in people. (D)Future technology is used to create moments of joy.
24.Which of the following statements would the author most likely agree to?答案顯示:【B】
(A)Optogenetics is a technology used in treating trauma in humans. (B)The use of optogenetics needs to take ethics into consideration. (C)Mice’s brains contain billions of neurons similar to those of humans. (D)The goal of treating memory disorders is to help people suppress fearful memories.
25.Which of the following statements can be inferred?答案顯示:【A】
(A)Discoveries of optogenetics might help scientists create new methods in the treatment of memory disorders.(B)The technology of optogenetics can be used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder in humans. (C)It is possible to silence memories in humans after all treatment options have been explored. (D)With the technology of optogenetics, humans can easily seize moments of joy.

  With the rapid development of the social media on the Internet, people nowadays depend heavily on using it as a major means of communication with other people.The popularity of social media such as Line lies in its offer of differing functions to the public.Not only[26]allow people to communicate with others online, it can also enable them to share and exchange information between each other.As a more democratic kind of media than others such as TV and radio, social media like Line provides many-to-many communications.[27], people who use it can set up a group and chat with many people in the group all at the same time.And if two or more people are using it in the meantime, it can become instant as people can text messages to each other and get the responses from each other immediately.One more[28]of using the Line is that sometimes it can help people re-connect with those friends with whom they have long lost contact.
  Although Line gives people many benefits, it still has its limitation.Despite that people are able to know whether their sent messages are read or not, it also puts them in a difficult situation sometimes.[29]people read the messages, they might not have the time or decide not to reply to any unwanted or hard-to-reply messages.If this happens, it could cause unnecessary misunderstanding and confusion between people.[30], some people prefer making a phone call to texting messages through Line because they think that real interactions between people can only occur when people can hear each other’s voice or see each other face to face.No matter what it is, people need to adjust themselves to the changes the technology has made to their daily life.

  Nowadays, in public or private places, we tend to scroll mindlessly through our social media feeds when we have a few spare minutes(or for some, hours).And as we probably know intuitively, and as the research is confirming, it is not the best habit when it comes to our collective psychology.The American Academy of Pediatrics has warned about the potential for negative effects of social media in young kids and teens, including cyber-bullying and “Facebook depression.” But the same risks may be true for adults, across generations.A review study suggests “Facebook Addiction Disorder” because addiction criteria, such as neglect of personal life, mental preoccupation, escapism, mood modifying experiences, tolerance and concealing the addictive behavior, appear to be present in some people who use social networks excessively.A study also shows when people stop using the Internet, they also undergo small but measurable physiological effects.Rather than enhancing well-being, as frequent interactions with supportive offline social networks powerfully do, the current findings demonstrate that interacting with Facebook may predict the opposite result for young adults—it may undermine it.In fact, another study found that social media use is linked to greater feelings of social isolation, mentally and physically.Facebook is also a jealousy generator.We fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to others as we scroll through our feeds, and make judgments about how we measure up.One study looked at how we make comparisons to others posts, in “upward” or “downward” directions—that is, feeling that we are either worse or better off than our friends.It turned out that both types of comparisons made people feel worse, which is surprising, since in real life, only upward comparisons(feeling another person has it better than you) makes people feel bad.But in the social network world, it seems that any kind of comparison is linked to depressive symptoms.All of this is not to say that there is no benefit to social media—obviously it keeps us connected across great distances, and helps us find people we had lost touch with years ago.But getting on social networks when you have some time to kill, or, worse, need an emotional lift, is very likely a bad idea.If you are feeling brave, try taking a little break, and see how it goes.And if you are going to keep “using,” then at least try to use in moderation.
31.What is the main idea of this passage?答案顯示:【A】
(A)Aware of social networks’ disadvantages, people should use them moderately. (B)Social networks are good things that keep people connected across distances. (C)Comparing ourselves with others is not healthy and may bring frustration. (D)People nowadays spend too much time scrolling social media feeds.
32.Why do researchers define “using Facebook excessively” as addicted behavior?答案顯示:【B】
(A)People spend too much money and time browsing feeds. (B)The behavior meets some addiction standards and has withdrawal symptoms. (C)People rely on them to have emotional lifts when they are upset. (D)Facebook use is linked to feelings of social isolation, mentally and physically.
33.According to the context, what does the word “undermine” mean?答案顯示:【C】
(A)Resolve(B)Realize(C)Damage(D)Determine.
34.Why does the author think that Facebook is a jealousy generator?答案顯示:【C】
(A)It reminds people they have fewer friends(B)It forces people to respond to posts. (C)It brings about unconscious comparisons(D)It urges people to buy new smartphones.
35.According to this passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?答案顯示:【D】
(A)When we are feeling brave, we should take a break and get rid of Facebook. (B)From a collective psychology viewpoint, social networks have negative effects. (C)While social networks benefit people in some ways, we should be more cautious using them. (D)In Facebook posts, only upward comparisons may cause depressive symptoms.

  If you want to know where Google is headed, look through Google Lens.The artificially intelligent, augmented reality feature seemed to generate the most interest at Google’s developer conference.Of all announcements, it best encapsulated what Google’s transition to an “AI first” company means.Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai underscored the tool as a key reflection of Google’s direction.“All of Google was built because we started understanding text and web pages.So the fact that computers can understand images and videos has profound implications for our core mission,” he said so in his introduction of Lens.
  During a demo, Google showed off how you could point your camera at something and Lens would tell you what it is-like, it could identify the flower you’re preparing to shoot.In another example, Pichai showed how Lens could do a common task-connecting you to a home’s Wi-Fi network by snapping a photo of the sticker on the router.A third example was a photo of a business’s storefront-and Google Lens could pull up the name, rating and other business listing information in a card that appeared over the photo.
  The technology basically turns the camera from a passive tool that’s capturing the world around you to one that’s allowing you to interact with what’s in your camera’s viewfinder.Later, during a Google Home demonstration, the company showed how Lens would be integrated into Google Assistant.Through a new button in the Assistant app, users will be able to launch Lens and insert a photo into the conversation with the Assistant, where it can process the data the photo contains.To show how this could work, Google’s Scott Huffman holds his camera up to a concert marquee for a Stone Foxes show and Google Assistant pulls up info on ticket sales.“Add this to my calendar,” he says-and it does.The integration of Lens into Assistant can also help with translations.Huffman demonstrates this by holding up his camera to a sign in Japanese, tapping the Lens icon and saying “What does this say?” Google Assistant then translates the text.
  Pichai said in his founders’ letter a year ago that part of this shift to being an AI first company meant computing would be less device-centric.Lens is an example of being less device-centric, on mobile.The technology behind Lens is essentially nothing new, and that also tells us something about where Google is going.This is not to say that Google is done coming up with new technologies, but that there are a lot of capabilities the company is still putting together into useful products.
36.In the first paragraph, what does “the tool” refer to?答案顯示:【A】
(A)Google Lens(B)Google Assistant(C)artificial intelligent(D)augmented reality
37.Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the word “encapsulate” in the first paragraph?答案顯示:【B】
(A)expand(B)summarize(C)release(D)convert
38.According to Paragraph 2 and 3, which of the following tasks CANNOT be done by Google Lens?答案顯示:【B】
(A)To tell you what you see.(B)To turn on a home wifi router by snapping a photo at it. (C)To provide restaurant ratings and phone number. (D)To translate a sign in a different language with Google Assistant.
39.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?答案顯示:【A】
(A)Google is shifting its emphasis on high tech devices such as Google Assitant. (B)Google’s core mission centers around the computer application of image processing. (C)Google Lens can be integrated into Google Assistant for tasks. (D)Google is focusing on providing useful products that utilizes artificial intelligence.
40.According to this passage, why does Google Lens represent Google’s future direction?答案顯示:【C】
(A)Google Lens serves as a great search engine for text and web pages. (B)Google Lens serves as an active tool that captures the world around us. (C)Google Lens utilizes artificial intelligence to retrieve data from images. (D)Google Lens is a new device that provides translation with AI technology.

  For some people, summer is the time to head indoors to exercise.But others welcome the heat as a way to sweat more and get a better workout.
  Indeed, I’ve long regarded the sweatiness of my exercise sessions as a sign of how hard I was pushing myself.But it turns out I’ve been wrong: How much you sweat doesn’t necessarily correlate with how intense your workout is or how many calories you burn.
  When your body temperature rises, your eccrine glands secrete sweat, and the evaporation of moisture from your skin helps you cool off.Of course, sweating can occur for other reasons, such as stress or fear.That type of sweat comes from the apocrine glands, which are located mainly in the underarm and groin.
  How much we sweat during exercise is due to a number of factors, including gender(men tend to sweat more than women) and age(younger people sweat more than older people) as well as genetics, temperature and humidity.Weight plays a role as well.Larger people tend to sweat more, because their bodies generate more heat.Another contributor is fitness level.Surprisingly, fit people tend to sweat sooner during exercise and more copiously than those who are less fit.Research suggests that as your fitness level improves, your body’s heat-regulating system becomes more efficient, cooling you down faster and allowing you to work harder.
  Don’t be misled by the loss of a few pounds after a high-sweat workout.This is simply water weight that you gain back when you rehydrate and doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve burned lots of calories.
41.Which of the following titles can best describe the passage?答案顯示:【B】
(A)Why do people sweat during exercise?(B)Does more sweating mean a more intense workout? (C)How does your body’s heat-regulating system function?(D)What are the possible ways of losing weight?
42.According to the passage, why do some people like the heat in summer?答案顯示:【A】
(A)They believe the heat leads to a better workout.(B)They like the outdoor exercise. (C)They know our skin helps us cool off.(D)They feel stressful during exercise.
43.Which of the following statements about sweatiness is correct?答案顯示:【D】
(A)The more sweat you generate, the more calories you burn.(B)Seniors tend to sweat more than youngsters. (C)Humidity does not affect how much you sweat.(D)Sweatiness correlates with the heat-regulating system.
44.Which of the following items is NOT a factor for the amount of sweat during exercise?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Gender(B)Weight(C)Fitness(D)Calory.
45.What does the word “rehydrate” mean?答案顯示:【A】
(A)Absorb moisture(B)Take a break(C)Exercise again(D)Lead a highlife.

  Researchers have found out that early life misfortune or stress can significantly decrease the size of brain regions which are typically associated with emotional processing and control.To contextualize the obtained brain data, scientists interviewed the children’s parents.Both the brain data and the interview data suggested that when early-life misfortune becomes the norm of life, the nervous system would be overwhelmed and result in depression, obsessive compulsive disorder(OCD), anxiety, cancer, and even lack of career success in adulthood.Importantly, kids who experienced early-life misfortune often suffered from unconscious blackout of brain, and losing track of time.
  According to scientists, these physiological problems happen as a result of nervous system’s reaction to protect ourselves.Furthermore, many children who suffered from early-life adversity reported that they tend to be uncommunicative to anyone with exception to their best friends and tend to interpret everyday experiences from a negative lens.But this does not mean that the life path of these children cannot be changed.Many participants of the study reported that the encouragement from family members and school teachers gradually develops their confidence; many of them reported doing well in school subjects, especially in math, and were able to gradually get rid of horrible thoughts with the help from friends and family members.
46.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?答案顯示:【C】
(A)The Biological Basis for the Children’s Cognition System (B)The Effects of a Brain Treatment on Kids Suffering from Early-life Misfortune (C)Impacts of Early-life Misfortune on Later Biological and Mental Development (D)Ways to Improve the Well-being of Children Suffering from Mental Problems
47.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?答案顯示:【C】
(A)Early-life misfortune may decrease the size of the brain, which in turn may lead to many mental problems.(B)The mental impacts on kids suffering from early-life misfortune can be changed through external forces. (C)Impacts of early-life misfortune on children can never be changed or adjusted. (D)Children suffering from early-life misfortune tend to have interpersonal and social issues.
48.Which of the following words best describes the author’s attitude toward the impacts of the supports from the family on the kids suffering from early-life misfortune?答案顯示:【B】
(A)negative(B)hopeful(C)distrustful(D)neutral
49.Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the word “uncommunicative” in the passage?答案顯示:【D】
(A)chatty(B)innovative(C)eloquent(D)inexpressive
50.According to the passage, which of the following domains may NOT be affected by children’s early-life misfortune?答案顯示:【D】

  When it comes to all-protein diet for weight loss, people keep on asking if it is possible to diet only eating the meats you love.The all-protein diet is a meat diet plan that doesn’t make you give up on eating meat.It is a diet where you reduce intake of carbohydrates such as that found in rice, bread, and vegetables while chewing down on meats and fish satisfying your appetite.By eating meat and eliminating sugars and carbohydrates that turn into fat, you can reduce body fat as well as strengthen your metabolism promoting smoother weight loss.
  To ensure your success in weight loss, there are rigid rules you need to follow while you are on the all-protein diet.First, you only eat low-fat content meat, fish, or boiled eggs as the main course in your meal.You can eat as much meat as you like as long as it’s not fatty.When eating fatty meats, be sure to remove as much fat as you can before eating.When you don’t have as much time to cook, eating a hard-boiled egg would be a good substitute for convenience in your diet.
  Second, you need to greatly reduce the amount of rice, bread, and vegetables in your diet to a minimum.This may include simply eating half the amount you would eat when not on the all-protein diet.Although most diets say that you should get vegetables in your diet as much as you can, on the all-protein diet you want to reduce carbohydrate intake, staying away from starches like high-carb potatoes.If you really want to have some vegetables, make sure to treat yourself to a healthy vegetable snack such as bowl of Vitamin K rich cucumbers.Eating snack in between meals is fine as long as you stick to meats, fish, and chicken eggs.
  Third, you need to screen what you use in seasoning your food.Paying close attention to the things you use to season your food such as sugar or sweet rice wine is important.Note that flour used in frying seafood contains carbohydrates.Always confirm how much carbohydrates you are adding before cooking.
  In conclusion, the all-protein diet is a diet where you try not to eat any carbohydrates.If you can’t get your hand out of the cookie jar, the all-protein diet may not be right for you.
31.What is most likely the purpose of this passage?答案顯示:【A】
(A)To promote the all-protein diet(B)To stress the importance of meat. (C)To ensure healthy ways of seasoning food(D)To show problems of eating carbohydrates.

請依下文回答第56題至第60題:
  Stop, drop and roll is a simple fire safety technique taught to children, emergency services personnel and industrial workers as a component of health and safety training.Primarily, it is a method to extinguish a fire on a person’s clothes or hair without, or in addition to, the use of conventional firefighting equipment.In addition to extinguishing the fire, stop, drop and roll is thought to be an effective psychological tool, providing those in a fire situation, particularly children, with a routine that can be focused on in order to avoid panic.
  The technique of stop, drop and roll works for the following reasons:
  Stop: Running adds oxygen to the fire, or it can be thought of as fanning the flames.Running does not allow for a “smothering” of the fire.It may also prevent bystanders, who may be willing to provide assistance, from smothering the fire with their jackets or other form of clothing, from dowsing the fire with water, or even using a fire extinguisher they might have available.
  Drop: By dropping to the prone position(face down)you immediately reduce your body surface area that can receive oxygen.In this position the person should immediately cover their face from the flames to prevent burn injury and the difficult disfiguring effects of burned skin.With the body against the ground,it smothers the fire, by reducing the oxygen that is available for the fire.Further, fire burns upward, and by dropping to the prone position, you retard the fire’s ability to burn upward.
  Roll: Because a person’s clothing(fuel source)circumferences their entire body, the roll portion of the technique ensures that all clothing that may be on fire is smothered(depriving it from oxygen)against the ground, and not just the front or abdominal surface of the body of the prone position.The person should continue “rolling” back and forth until the fire is fully extinguished.
  Although stop, drop, and roll is a useful technique, some people are skeptical about its true effectiveness.It’s one thing to be so-called “book-smart” about the dos and don’ts of the stop, drop, and roll technique, but it’s another thing to be able to actually perform the technique when your clothes are on fire.You’re feeling the pain of the burn, and you enter panic mode.After all, we have all seen YouTube videos of adults catching fire, and then start running around and flapping their arms in the panic of their situation.
  With a real and present risk of a child being involved in some type of fire incident, how do we go about trying to teach young children to effectively perform the stop, drop, and roll technique?They may not even really understand what fire is or the danger it presents.They are likely to panic in fear if they catch fire, and their physical capabilities to extinguish themselves may be limited.
56.What is NOT true about the technique “stop, drop, and roll”?答案顯示:【B】
(A)It is a useful way to put out a fire when a person’s clothing catches fire. (B)It is the only method to escape from a fire disaster. (C)Both adults and children can learn and use this technique to put out a fire. (D)This technique can help a person cope with a fire emergency better.
57.What is the purpose of the first step of the “stop, drop, and roll” technique?答案顯示:【A】
(A)It restricts further addition of oxygen to the fire. (B)It prevents the spread of the fire to those standing close to it. (C)Running from the fire can decrease the chance of being burned. (D)People can stay calm and try to find a fire extinguisher nearby.
58.Why should a person put their hands over their face when lowering their body closer to the ground?答案顯示:【C】
(A)To smother remaining flames.(B)To make breathing easier. (C)To prevent bad facial burns.(D)To get ready for the next step.
59.According to the passage, what does “book-smart” imply?答案顯示:【C】
(A)We should put into practice what we’ve learned from books. (B)We need to learn from our mistakes so that we do not repeat them. (C)What sounds right in theory may not be practical in real life. (D)It is wise not to believe blindly what is said in a book.
60.Which of the following statements about the stop, drop, and roll technique may the writer agree with?答案顯示:【A】
(A)It is a useful technique but younger children may not be able to actually apply it in case of emergency. (B)Statistics have shown that this technique may lead to worse burns in a state of extreme panic. (C)More research is needed for knowing how we can best perform this technique and whether we should teach it to children. (D)Many people don’t realize that this technique is only effective when the fire starts on one’s clothing.

  Who owns the seas has always been a difficult concept.In 1945, President Truman extended U.S.jurisdiction to the end of its continental shelf.The continuation of the land mass underwater until it drops down to the ocean floor.Then the U.S.built the world's first off shore oil platform out of sight of land in the Gulf of Mexico in 1947, 10 and a half miles off the Louisiana coast.That started a race to claim oceanic resources.This[41]a lot of countries clashing over their perceived rights.For example, the UK and Iceland had no less than three disputes known as "Cod Wars" over the fish in[42]are now Icelandic waters.
  To mediate these disputes, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea or UNCLOS was drawn up and came into force in 1994.It carved up maritime territory into four main sections, typically[43]from the low water line on a nation's shores.Within the territorial waters, a state can regulate use and has ownership over any resources found within.Foreign states can sail through but they have to[44]the nation's laws.Within the contiguous zone, a state can continue to enforce laws in four specific areas, customs, taxation, immigration and pollution.Within the exclusive economic zone, the state has the sole rights over natural resources but foreign states may sail through, lay underwater cables and even pass through for military reasons.And on the continental shelf, a state has the rights to resources in the subsoil of the continental shelf but not the water column above[45]it is beyond the EEZ.Although 168 parties have ratified UNCLOS, it has far from resolved maritime territory disputes.

  A historic sailing ship has crashed just days after taking to the water following an extensive renovation project.The 121-foot Elbe No.5 collided with the 466-foot Astrosprinter on the Elbe river near Hamburg, Germany.Eight passengers[46]the Elbe No.5 were injured in the collision.They were rescued from the boat and taken to different local hospitals.Emergency services secured the ship because of fears of oil leaks and a rescue company will investigate the possibility of recovering the wreck.

請依下文回答第26題至第30題:
  Many studies have shown that musical training can enhance language skills.However, it was unknown whether music lessons improve general cognitive ability, leading to better language proficiency, or if the effect of music is more specific to language processing.A new study has found that piano lessons have a very specific effect on kindergartners’ ability to distinguish different pitches, which translates into an improvement in discriminating between spoken words.However, the piano lessons did not appear to confer any benefit for overall cognitive ability, as measured by IQ, attention span, and working memory.
  Previous studies have shown that on average, musicians perform better than nonmusicians on tasks such as reading comprehension, distinguishing speech from background noise, and rapid auditory processing.However, most of these studies have been done by asking people about their past musical training.The MIT researchers wanted to perform a more controlled study in which they could randomly assign children to receive music lessons or not, and then measure the effects.After six months, the researchers tested the children on their ability to discriminate words based on differences in vowels, consonants, or tone(many Mandarin words differ only in tone).Better word discrimination usually corresponds with better phonological awareness — the awareness of the sound structure of words, which is a key component of learning to read.Children who had piano lessons showed a significant advantage over children in the extra reading group in discriminating between words that differ by one consonant.Children in both the piano group and extra reading group performed better than children who received neither intervention when it came to discriminating words based on vowel differences.

請依下文回答第42題至第46題:
  Because we are living longer than ever, more psychologists and social workers have begun to study ways of caregiving to improve care of the elderly.They have found that all caregivers share a common characteristic: they all feel that they can do the job better than anyone else.Social workers interviewed caregivers to find out why they took on the responsibility of caring for an elderly, dependent relative.They discovered three basic reasons.Many caregivers believed that they had an obligation to help their relatives.Some stated that helping others made them feel more useful.Others hoped that by helping someone now, they would deserve care when they became old and dependent.When people care for an elderly relative, they often do not use available community services, such as adult day-care centers.If the caregivers2401 are adult children, they are more likely to use such services, especially because they often have jobs and other responsibilities.In contrast, a spouse, usually the wife, is much less likely to use support services or to put the dependent person in a nursing home.Social workers discovered that the wife normally tries to take care of her husband herself as long as she can in order not to use up their life savings.Researchers have found that caring for the elderly can be a very positive experience.However, even when caregiving is satisfying, it is hard work.One consideration is to ask parents what they want before they become sick or dependent.Perhaps they prefer going into a nursing home, so they can select one in advance.On the other hand, they may want to live with their adult children.Caregivers must also learn to be assertive and ask for help from others, especially siblings.Brothers and sisters are often willing to help, but they may not know what to do.We can expect to live longer lives than ever before.Caring for the elderly and being taken care of can be a mutually satisfying experience for everyone involved.
42.According to the passage, what is the shared feature of all caregivers?答案顯示:【D】
(A)They feel they have no way but to accept the job.(B)They think the elderly will appreciate what they do. (C)They feel they can do the job without any difficulty. (D)They believe they can do the job better than anyone else.
43.Which is one of the reasons why the caregivers took on the responsibility of caring for an elderly?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Helping others made them feel more needy and dependent. (B)They had been encouraged by social workers to help an elderly. (C)They had a sense of accomplishment when helping their relative. (D)By helping someone now, they would deserve care when they became old.
44.According to the passage, why are adult children more likely to use services from adult day-care centers?答案顯示:【A】
(A)Because they often have jobs.(B)Because they are irresponsible. (C)Because they want to save money.(D)Because community services are better.
45.What does the word siblings refer to in “Caregivers must also learn to be assertive and ask for help from others, especially siblings?” 答案顯示:【B】
(A)Husband and wife.(B)Brothers and sisters.(C)Spouse and relatives.(D)Friends and neighbors.

  History has not yet revealed what we will definitely call the postmillennial cohort that now numbers more than 60 million people in the U.S.These kids and teens with no concept of life without the Internet have so far been called the App Generation and Generation Z.They’ve been referred to as Homelanders, having grown up under the specter of terrorism.They’ve also been labeled the Plurals, for their historic diversity, as well as the Founders, at least by MTV.
  Whatever we end up naming them, marketers and academics are turning their attention to this group, which has billions in buying power and is already shaping the culture.This generation is growing up “totally and utterly connected,” says California State University psychologist Larry Rosen.Experts like Rosen have concerns about these kids’ Google-fostered expectations that everything be instantaneous.They worry about their inability to tolerate even five seconds of boredom.And they fret about the demands that come with maintaining several identities online, from Facebook to Instagram to Snapchat.“There’s so much pressure on young people, who are still forming their identities, to present this crystallized, idealized identify online,” says Katie Davis from University of Washington.
  There is also optimism about a generation that is asserting an entrepreneurial spirit and finding ways to get offline.These kids’ uberprotective Gen X parents-determined not to raise latchkey kids like themselves-are meanwhile hovering and helping them digitally detox in screenless camps and Waldorf schools.
  Historian Neil Howe sees parallels with the Silent Generation, the doted-on, risk-averse, “nice” generation of kids who grew up during the Great Depression and World War II.Today’s youths are also coming of age amid geopolitical turmoil and fears about the economy, he says, while schools emphasize “a profound sensitivity to other kids.” He suspects this generation will be known for being well behaved and perhaps “blanding” the culture by playing it safe.“There are recurring archetypes,” says Howe, even if they go by different names.
21.What is the main idea of this article?答案顯示:【A】
(A)To discuss the traits and problems of the Gen Z. (B)To explore the Gen Z's relationship with the Internet. (C)To argue that the Gen Z is defining American culture. (D)To suggest that the Gen Z will replicate the Silent Gen.
22.Which of the following statements is NOT true about the postmillennials?答案顯示:【B】
(A)Labeled the Plurals, they are living in a world of great diversity. (B)Called “Homelanders,” they are expected to fight against terrorism. (C)They are growing up “totally connected” mainly because of the Internet. (D)They have replaced the millennials to wield considerable buying power.
23.How does the Internet influence the postmillenials, according to the author?答案顯示:【A】
(A)They expect everything to be fast, and they cannot tolerate tedium. (B)They like to manage several identities online, so they are versatile. (C)They are aware of the need to digitally detox in daily activities. (D)They prefer their identities in reality to their idealized identities online.
24.Which of the following statements is true about the Gen X parents?答案顯示:【C】
(A)They are the parents of the Gen Y. (B)They have an entrepreneurial spirit. (C)They help their children to get offline. (D)They prevent their children from forming identities.
25.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?答案顯示:【B】
(A)The recurring archetypes crop up every 100 years. (B)The postmillennials are similar to the Silent Generation. (C)Despite some similarities, the two generations are essentially different. (D)Both generations grew up amid political turmoil and economic depression.

請依下文回答第21題至第25題
  Mercantilism is the term commonly used to describe the body of opinion that prevailed in economic thought from the sixteenth through to the mid-eighteenth centuries.The mercantilists believed that the affluence of a nation depended on its ability to achieve and maintain a positive trade surplus, and it was seen as of vital importance that a nation kept down the price of its exports.At the time when the mercantilists wrote, labor was the chief input into production and hence also the major cost of production.Consequently, there was a keen focus on the level of wages.It was argued that wages should be kept as low as possible not just to minimize direct labor costs and hence also export prices, but also to maximize the supply of labor.
  The mercantilists believed that low wages were necessary to ensure that workers worked on a regular and continuous basis.The above ideas formed the basis of the so-called “utility of poverty” thesis: the argument that the wealth of the nation was greatest where those who labored were poor.The paradox in mercantilist labor doctrine was that, while the laborer was seen to provide the source of the nation’s wealth, he or she was argued to have no right to any greater share of economic wealth than was necessary to meet his or her most basic material needs.
  Many opinions informed the case put forward by the mercantilists in support of low wages.First, the view was taken that the English laborer was innately opposed to work.In the absence of poverty, workers would be certain to remain idle and higher wages were to be avoided as a means of enforcing a regular pattern of work that was required to increase national wealth.Alongside low wages, the workhouse was to act as a “school of industry” to instill in the poor the habit of regular and diligent work.Second, workers were claimed to have very low material horizons, and would be unresponsive to wage incentives.High wages were seen to result in increased idleness with a negligible effect on consumption levels, and low wages and high prices were recommended as a means to coerce the workforce into working long hours.Third, workers in England were condemned for drinking excessive amounts of alcohol and for leading debauched lives.It was argued that if wages were allowed to rise, then workers were sure to indulge their passion for “vice.” Fourth, there was a fear that a rise in the living standards of the laborer would lead to disorder and sedition in society.
21.What is the passage mainly about?答案顯示:【B】
(A)Impoverishment of workers between the 16thcentury and mid-18thcentury. (B)The mercantilist doctrine to labor force between the 16thcentury and mid-18thcentury. (C)Social-economic factors for economic growth of countries between the 16thcentury and mid-18thcentury.(D)Effects of low wages on laborers’ antisocial personality between the 16thcentury and mid-18thcentury.
22.According to the passage, which of the following can be inferred about the economic thought of mercantilism?答案顯示:【A】
(A)Suppressing wage growth was the key to prosperity of a country. (B)Economic hardship of workers led to poverty of a country. (C)There were a great many opposing opinions about mercantilism. (D)Adverse trade balance of a nation was the theme of mercantilism.
23.Which rationale is NOT suggested in the last paragraph for keeping wages low?答案顯示:【C】
(A)The lazy human nature of laborers.(B)The lavish lifestyle laborers may have. (C)The likely boost in consumption levels.(D)The potential incitement of civil rebellion.
24.Which of the following words is closest in meaning to “condemned” in the passage?答案顯示:【B】
(A)sentenced(B)denounced(C)commended(D)degenerated
25.What is the paradox in mercantilist labor doctrine?答案顯示:【C】
(A)The paradox between increasing trade surplus and economic inflation. (B)The paradox between a more productive workforce and low-quality products. (C)The paradox between poor income of laborers and growing wealth of their countries. (D)The paradox between rising export prices and decreasing cost of production.

  The key to understanding organized crime is to recognize that, like corporations and other businesses, it exists for a single purpose: to make a profit in a capitalist economy.The key difference between organized crime and “legitimate” businesses is that organized crime often makes much of its profit from illicit goods and services, and organized crime is prepared to use illegal means and practices, including violence, to achieve its profit-making goals.Like legal businesses, organized crime also seeks to gather and harness political power to assist in the conduct of its business.Once again, however, organized crime is prepared to pursue that goal, if necessary, through recourse to illegal methods.Actual violence is rare in organized crime activities, and is usually related to street-level activities.While violence is bad for business, the potential for violence is often enough to give organized crime networks a distinct advantage in the marketplace.

(A)illicit enterprise and profit-making(B)organizational strategy of a legitimate corporation (C)violent interactions among corporations(D)organizational structure of organized crime groups

  The mass media are a powerful influence on most people. News media and journalism outlets influence public opinion and democracy itself so their reach and power is not to be[26]lightly. The press has responsibilities to the public interest. Good journalism is good for democracy, but unfortunately the most popular news feeds in most Western countries have[27]poor-quality sensationalism, which is affecting democracy and undermining society. The worst culprit of the last few decades has been the Murdoch empire’s outputs, complete[28]secret political deals that have made and broken entire governments. One of the UK government’s former chief scientific advisers, Sir David King, pointed out that “the threat of terrorism is likely to be far less significant than climate change” but that climate change is too complicated and doesn’t sell well,[29]terrorism “fits the requirements of our news culture perfectly.” The result is a populace that don’t understand the risks facing them. Sensationalism, drama,[30]argumentation and a concentration on frivolity make it hard to appreciate the complexities of the world.

請回答下列第31題至第35題
  The Canadian government is hoping to use artificial intelligence (AI) to inform how it mounts legal challenges to immigration and refugee claims as part of a new pilot program. Ottawa plans on using the emerging technology to reduce government lawyers’ need to perform their own legal research, a costly and time-consuming process. But there are already concerns that the nuanced and difficult nature of many refugee and immigration claims may be lost on those government computer systems, leading to massive human-rights implications. And the government admits that it hopes to use AI and machine learning, eventually, to help determine refugee applications themselves. The plan is all laid out in a request for information submitted to industry.
  The request for information asks industry to submit their own technological solutions for a joint pilot project, run by Citizenship and Immigration Canada and Justice Canada, to “support case law and legal research, facilitate trend analysis in litigation, predict litigation outcomes, and help develop legal advice and assessments,” according to a government spokesperson. The government hopes that, if the pilot is a success, front-line immigration officials in Canada and abroad could use this technology “to aid in their assessment of the merits of an application before decisions are finalized.”
  Lex Gill, a research fellow who specializes in AI and public policy, said replacing human work with algorithms, especially if the data that goes into them is itself flawed, will always pose potential human-rights concerns. “There is the risk that instead of improving the situation, these technologies may just entrench or encourage unfair or discriminatory practices,” she said. But while the debate around those risks continues, Ottawa is already getting set to roll out the pilot project.
31.Which of the following is the best title of this passage?答案顯示:【B】
(A)Government Computer Systems Related to Human-Rights Implications. (B)Government Looking to AI in Addressing Issues with Immigration. (C)Possible Legal Challenges to Immigration and Refugee Claims in Ottawa. (D)The Use of AI to Entrench Discriminatory Legal Practices in Canada.
32.According to the passage, what may be the reason for the Canadian government to use the emerging technology?答案顯示:【C】
(A)It may aid industry to submit their own technological solutions for immigration. (B)It may lead to massive human-rights implications in government computer systems. (C)It may reduce the need to perform costly and time-consuming legal research. (D)It may replace human work with algorithms and pose potential human-rights concerns.
33.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?答案顯示:【A】
(A)Using AI technology in immigration in Canada may raise human rights issues. (B)Ottawa has adopted the emerging technology to predict litigation outcomes. (C)The Canadian government has successfully used AI to determine refugee applications. (D)The data on the Canadian government computer systems is itself flawed.
34.According to the last sentence in the passage, which of the following best describes the decision of Ottawa?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Ottawa is about to estimate risks of the pilot project.(B)Ottawa is already terminating the pilot project. (C)Ottawa is considering to postpone the pilot project.(D)Ottawa is getting ready to execute the pilot project.
35.What is the word “nuanced” in the passage closest in meaning to?答案顯示:【C】
(A)A little awkward(B)A bit notorious(C)Slightly different(D)Somewhat annoyed.

請回答下列第36題至第40題
  One of the most fashionable ideas in business is that companies should earn their crust from subscribers, who are “locked in” for a period of time, rather than from customers who can easily switch to another provider at any time. Subscription models are seen by many investors and executives as the holy grail, because they promise a recurring stream of revenue. But the approach suffers from three underappreaciated problems. Acquiring subscribers can be eye-wateringly expensive. Their urge to run away is often only temporarily suppressed. And consumers may have more than one relationship at a time.
  The best-known subscription model is probably Amazon Prime. It has about 80m members in America alone and for $99 a year offers film and music, speedy delivery of goods and even discounts on goods such as baby food. There are many other examples. Netflix offers a wall of TV for a monthly fee. And more are coming. Venture-capital firms are pouring money into subscription-based home-delivery firms that bring to your doorstep meals, pills or even fresh underpants. Zuora, a software firm, talks of the rise of the “subscription economy.”
  Several star firms floating their shares this year have subscription models. Dropbox, a cloud-storage firm, listed on NASDAQ on March 23rd and is worth $13bn. It boasts 500m registered users and wants to convert them into “paying users,” of whom there are already 11m, who get a superior service. Spotify, a music streaming firm that listed on April 3rd, has 159m users but derives its $27bn valuation from 71m “premium subscribers” who pay to listen without adverts. On average each generates 13 times more sales and 27 times more gross profit than users who pay no fee.
36.What is the main message of this passage?答案顯示:【A】
(A)More companies are now changing to subscription approach to make profits.(B)Amazon Prime is a good example to illustrate the new subscription addiction. (C)Dropbox and many other star firms are floating their shares.(D)More home-delivery companies are offering new programs to get more “paying users.”
37.Which of the following phrases can best replace “the holy grail” in the passage?答案顯示:【C】
(A)the emperor’s new clothes(B)the religious fountain (C)the ultimate solution(D)the way home
38.Which of the following is NOT a problem for companies that adopt subscription models?答案顯示:【B】
(A)The high cost to find subscribers.(B)Most subscribers liable to be from the high-income family. (C)The subscribers incapable of controlling their desire to change their providers.(D)Subscribers prone to make purchases with several firms at the same time.
39.According to this article, what is NOT included in Amazon Prime’s $99-program?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Discounts on food(B)Films (C)Speedy delivery of goods(D)No adverts for music
40.According to the passage, which of the following firms has had ten times more sales from their payingusers than users who pay no fee?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Amazon Prime(B)Zuora(C)Netflix(D)Dropbox

一、英譯中(15分)
  Europe has a rising autocratic movement that the continent’s leaders have no clear strategy for confronting. The pandemic has strengthened the most autocratic EU governments in Hungary and Poland. Other countries have put a higher priority on fighting the virus and helping the economy than trying to stop the erosion of democracy. Hungary’s governing party, led by Prime Minister Viktor Orban, has undermined democracy by changing election rules, packing the courts with allies and insisting on uncritical media coverage. Orban has used the virus as an excuse to centralize authority even further. Poland’s governing party, led by Jarosław Kaczynski, has taken a similar approach, mostly by neutralizing the judicial system.
  When the EU expanded to include Hungary, Poland and six other countries in
  2004, the bloc’s leaders made the mistake of assuming that Eastern and Central Europe were on a one-way path to democracy and the rule of law. As a result, the EU did not create an easy process for punishing countries that move away from democracy. There are no easy answers here. Allowing autocracy to flourish may encourage its rise in other countries. But confronting it risks pulling the EU apart.

  氣候變遷和全球暖化正在增加野火的可能性和強度。除了世界發達地區的生命、房屋和動物蒙受立即損失之外,其它地區的野火規模擴大也可能產生嚴重影響。窮人經常受到全球暖化的沉重打擊,他們往往更加依賴自然資源,尤其是在發展中國家,許多人的生計都依賴完整的森林資源,而範圍較大的野火可能造成災難性的後果。野火產生的煙霧會造成空氣污染,導致湖泊酸化。當野火蔓延到城市或其周邊地區時,它們會損壞電力線路、行動通信基地台和房屋等基礎設施。野火除了使人們直接遭受苦難之外,也會造成不得不逃離的人們無家可歸,承受壓力和痛苦。然而人們奢華的生活方式、對自然資源的非永續性消耗、以及相關的污染,加劇了全球暖化,使得野火更加頻繁發生。 三、英文短文寫作。(45分)
  This week’s pandemic deal in Brussels foresees the EU’s first jointly issued bonds. This debt will finance what’s in effect an insurance mechanism to help the member states worst hit by the COVID-19, such as Italy and Spain, thus proving European “solidarity.” But the EU’s many skeptics have long argued that Europe always does too little, too late. Whether it’s the euro crisis or the refugee chaos of the past decade, or indeed the coronavirus recession now, the EU never quite rises to the challenge. These two competing narratives frame a central debate about the EU’s future. Bruegel, a Brussels think tank, caricatures them as 1) the bloc is being “hardened by adversity,” leading to perpetual integration, versus 2) the “sky is falling” for the EU, which causes its disintegration.

  The small European nation of Luxembourg just made a big investment in a flourishing realm of the space industry: asteroid mining. Private companies and space agencies have been interested in mining asteroids for water and[11]minerals like platinum, which can be used to fuel trips to destinations deeper in space. While no one has successfully mined an asteroid yet, the Luxembourg government plans to[12]this industry through research and development projects. Luxembourg is not the only country to look up to the skies for new places to mine. In 2015, US president Barack Obama signed a law that will let American companies mine space resources.

The US company Deep Space Industries said space resources will allow greater exploration of the solar system without the need to mind resources on Earth.[14], there could be problems ahead for mining companies.

  Due to the growing popularity of high-speed internet connections. Wi-Fi, the easiest way to enable several computers to share the same broadband link, was developed years ago. This fast method of wireless data[16]has made the flow of large amounts of information easily available and can be conveniently[17]with no waiting. Due to all the rapid changes in science and technology, it may, however, be replaced in the[18]future by an even faster technology called Li-Fi. In 2011, Professor Harold Hass at the University of Edinburgh introduced Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) to the public. This advanced technology, which supports multiuser access and enables roaming, uses visible light to transport data. Its lightning speed, which is 100 times faster than the average Wi-Fi, can transfer one gigabyte per second. That is, music, or even movies can be downloaded in just seconds. In addition to its[19]speed, the security of Li-Fi is better than Wi-Fi, which is[20]for aircrafts or hospitals where high security is expected. Li-Fi will no doubt change the way we use and send data.

  According to historians, pandemics typically have two types of endings: the medical, which occurs when the incidence and death rates plummet, and the social, when the epidemic of fear about the disease wanes.In other words, an end can occur not because a disease has been vanquished but because people grow tired of panic mode and learn to live with a disease.A Harvard historian said something similar was happening with the current pandemic situation around the world: “As we have seen in the debate about opening the economy, many questions about the so-called end are determined not by medical and public health data but by sociopolitical processes.” Endings “are very, very messy,” said another historian.“Looking back, we have a weak narrative.For whom does the epidemic end, and who gets to say?”

  A centerpiece of the study of linguistics has been that the words we use are arbitrarily related to the concepts they refer to.[11], this is true. If you look across languages, the same object is given very different names. An object called a bridge in English is un pont in French. Same concept, very different sounds. This observation is[12]in Shakespeare’s quote, “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” But, word meanings aren’t completely arbitrary. Recently, there have been some discussions about the “Kiki-Bouba” effect in which words that lead you to speak with a smiling mouth (like Kiki) feel more natural when they apply to angled objects than to rounded[13]. In addition, there is a general relationship[14]how often a word is used (what is called word frequency) and the length of the word. High frequency words ([15], words that are used often) are typically short (like sit, far, or chew), while low frequency words (that are used less often) are typically longer (like recline, distant, or masticate).

請依下文回答第16題至第20題:
  For over a hundred years, dentists have been repairing cavities by removing the decayed tooth tissue with a drill and filling the hole with metal or plastic material. Depending on the cavity’s depth, this method can be unpleasant to downright painful for the patient, and it has to be repeated periodically.
  “You’re really in that cycle of repair and replacement for the rest of the tooth’s life,” said Rebecca Moazzea, senior lecturer at King’s College.
  A damaged tooth’s enamel can be replaced naturally, but the process is too slow to stop the work of bacteria that build up in tiny cracks. Now, a British company called Reminova has developed a method for speeding up this natural remineralization of early-stage cavities.
  “We’ve just found a way to make that a much faster process,” said Jeff Wright, Reminova’s chief executive officer. “Driving healthy calcium and phosphate minerals into your enamel, and through a natural process, it will bind on and add to the enamel that’s there.”
  Here’s how it works: After cleaning the early-stage cavity with a method that does not require drilling, the dentist covers it with a mineral solution and applies an electrical current that is too weak for the patient to feel. The deposited mineral quickly hardens, completely filling the cavity.
  Researchers say this method could be especially useful for children.
  “If children have a better experience of going to the dentist, so they haven’t had necessary drilling and injections for routine fillings, then they’ll be much more positive in later life and probably become much more regular patients,” said Dr. Barry Quinn, a consultant at King’s College.
  Dentists point out that the new method is most efficient on early-stage cavities, which makes regular dental checkups essential. The whole treatment lasts about as long as a regular drill-and-fill procedure.
  Researchers say they are confident that the new method can be further developed for treating later-stage cavities. And they remind us that regular brushing with fluoride toothpaste helps prevent cavities in the first place.
16.Which of the following is the best title of the news article?答案顯示:【A】
(A)A New Technique May Eliminate Drill-and-Fill Dental Care (B)Reminova Offers New Hope for the Dental Industry (C)CEO of Reminova Predicts Fewer Dentists Needed(D)Children Need Not Visit the Dentist Any More
17.Why is the new treatment most useful to children?答案顯示:【A】
(A)It will develop a more positive attitude toward dental care among children. (B)The new treatment is less expensive with children. (C)It takes much less time in treating child patients.(D)The new treatment is less effective with adult patients.
18.What is the core technique of the new dental care method?答案顯示:【B】
(A)It uses a special kind of plastic in filling the cavity which protects the tooth more effectively. (B)It provides better protection of the tooth by accelerating the natural remineralization process. (C)It uses a special chemical which can grow the bacteria in the cavity.(D)It uses an artificial enamel to replace the infected enamel in the cavity.
19.Which of the following is NOT true about the new cavity treatment method?答案顯示:【D】
(A)The new method is probably developed in the United Kingdom. (B)The new method is more effective with patients who regularly check their dental conditions. (C)The new technique requires about the same treatment time as the traditional one. (D)The electrical current applied in the treatment can sharpen the pain of the patient.
20.How often does the traditional drill-and-fill technique have to be performed in treating cavities?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Once for all.(B)Six times throughout the patient’s childhood. (C)Twelve times throughout the patient’s life.(D)Many times throughout the tooth’s life.

請依下文回答第21題至第25題:
  With billions of data points being generated every day, some companies don’t know what to do with big data, and that’s understandable. It’s difficult to manage all of it, but it’s impossible to ignore it. This obvious opportunity leaves a large percentage of executives concerned that their information isn’t correctly represented and entrepreneurs struggling to find a way forward.
  But big data is worth the struggle. It can help business owners understand how their business functions and how it serves their customers. It can help companies reveal new opportunities, dig up unknown problems and even make more money. It is an asset to any company that takes the time to position it in the right way, but it’s up to each company to take the initiative to do so. The first step is to consider big data within the context of the customer. What kind of interaction does the customer have with the company and how can those individual touch points be used to paint a complete picture? Then, the business needs to figure out creative ways to use that information.
  Data assets might look different in each industry, but the real value of the data lies not in its type but in whether it can help you increase your value or retain customers. According to Jeff Tanner, professor of marketing at Baylor University, the information you get from your customers empowers you to deliver better value over time and create more opportunities for your business. While it may be possible to assign a cash value to big data, those numbers aren’t likely to make it onto the balance sheet. The data’s real value is revealed when it’s positioned in the context of the following three questions: 1) How will it make the business more predictable? 2) How will it help replicate success for the future? 3) How will it enhance customer engagement?
21.According to the passage, what should be the first consideration in using big data?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Internet security within the company(B)Employee promotion in the company (C)Business management for the company(D)Customers’ interaction with the company
22.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a benefit of big data?答案顯示:【C】
(A)Creating revenues(B)Revealing problems(C)Deciding job positions(D)Understanding customer services
23.According to the passage, who should be most concerned with the new development in big data?答案顯示:【C】
(A)Customers(B)Store clerks(C)Business owners(D)Government officials
24.What will the author most likely talk about in the following section of the passage?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Online marketing strategies which solve financial problems (B)Protecting the company’s valuable data from hackers’ attacks (C)Evaluating employee performances using the endless data points (D)Using early-indicator data to help a company to reach wider customers
25.What is the passage mainly about?答案顯示:【B】
(A)How to sell big data to advertising companies(B)How to use a company’s endless stream of data (C)How to protect customer privacy in Internet-based businesses (D)How to generate more ideas to paint a complete picture of a company

  Reviews are where an experience meets ideas. You go to a concert, a movie, an art exhibition, a restaurant, and it makes you think. Maybe the experience is a[21]for a brand-new idea; maybe it[22]something you’ve been thinking about for a while. It becomes something worth writing about.
  The job of the reviewer is to get both the experience and the ideas into words — and into proportion. In some ways, a review is the same as reporting: The facts have to be correct and presented in a coherent way. And in some ways, a review is[23]reporting: your subjective experience and your reactions — intellectual, emotional, visceral — are a big part of it.
  A review is not about the reviewer. A reader does not care about when the reviewer got to a location or his mood or the weather that day. It’s about what a person experienced when he met his work head-on with full attention: what his knowledge tells him about the work, what his immediate experience added to that and where the work can lead next. You might be writing about something your readers don’t know about[24]you have discovered; help them share that sense of discovery.

  With the growing number of solo diners, hotels and resorts are making sure they are comfortable. The Plume restaurant in Washington, D.C., created a program for solo diners last fall; several of its 18 seats are dedicated to diners who want a sense of privacy yet a feeling of inclusion. “The seating for this type of diner doesn’t include being in the center of the room,” said the restaurant’s manager, Sean Mulligan. “We make sure they are not near the entrance or exit for privacy and[31]while making sure the diners have items like newspapers and magazines delivered to their table if they need it.”

  Immigration, depression, anxiety and international cultures will be the focus of a series of games being developed for a video game expo in New York, Play NYC, with an eye on giving players a unique take on real issues.
  Playcrafting, the organizer of the event, says that diversity is in the DNA of New York, which is why it is proud to celebrate what makes New York and the American gaming industry so special by commissioning six, new “Graffiti Games” installations created by local, first-generation immigrant developers.
  “Last year was the first convention, and we wanted to make our sophomore year even more impactful,” Dan Butchko, founder of Playcrafting said. “There have been a lot of dialogues that focus on people’s differences lately. Games are the great uniter. Whether you’re creating or playing them, they have a way of bringing people together, no matter where you’re going or where you come from. Giving these talented developers the space to express themselves with no restrictions was our way to celebrate diversity and the beauty of the NYC gaming community.”
  The eight game developers whose work will be featured are originally from China, India, Kazakhstan, Peru, Spain, and Venezuela. Some of their games to be on display include:
  (1) Home Stretch by Prashast Thapan from New Delhi, India: An arcade-style racing game in which a player will race through a city reminiscent of New Delhi to obtain a visa, and then head to New York. During their travels, obstacles will pile up and the trip becomes progressively more difficult.
  (2) The Llama Express by Pilar Aranda from Valencia, Spain and Saúl Peña Gamero from Lima, Peru: A lighthearted game in which players ride a train through the fictional country of Esperú, feeding hungry llamas encountered along the way with traditional Hispanic food from the train.
  (3) A Hero’s Journey by Kurt Young from Beijing, China: A VR game in which players first design an environment, choose a hero, a prince or princess and a villain and watch a story unfold. Players need to use either VR or a projector to battle through obstacles the game contains.
36.What is the main idea of the passage?答案顯示:【D】
(A)The NYC gaming industry is mostly composed of immigrants (B)Issues about immigration will be discussed in the convention. (C)Immigrants in New York are very creative game developers. (D)Play NYC will host an exhibition,featuring immigration-related issues.
37.Which of the following statements about Play NYC is NOT true?答案顯示:【B】
(A)It is a video game convention(B)It is a place to shelter immigrants. (C)It is organized by Playcrafting(D)It is in its second year.
38.What is the goal of Play NYC?答案顯示:【A】
(A)To celebrate the diversity that immigrants bring.(B)To promote foreign video games to Americans. (C)To illustrate the difficulty of immigrating to America.(D)To criticize immigrants’ cultural differences.
39.What is the author’s attitude toward the topic?答案顯示:【C】
(A)Fearful(B)Cautious(C)Positive(D)Aggressive
40.What can be inferred from this passage?答案顯示:【A】
(A)New York is a city full of immigrants.(B)Immigrants can easily find a game developer job. (C)The games that immigrants developed are depressing. (D)The top immigrant population comes from China.

  The definition of national security has changed over the years to include terrorism, resource scarcity, migration, and now threats to population health. During the first session of the United Nations Security Council of July 17, 2000, the UN declared the HIV/AIDS pandemic a threat to global security. This is the first time in history that an issue of public health has been elevated to such status.While it is now increasingly understood due to the COVID-19 that a pandemic constitutes a tremendous threat to the prosperity and cohesion of countries, the process by which the disease destabilizes societies, economies, governance structures, and the national security apparatus remains opaque to us.

請回答下列第18題至第20題
  Failure: We all avoid it, and most of us fear it. However, without failure, progress would be impossible. Indeed, the word success comes from the Latin succedere, meaning “to come after.” And what does success usually come after? Failure. It seems that one cannot exist without the other.
  Accepting failure is not easy for many, though. We are often reluctant to admit failure because our professional reputations depend on success. However, things are slowly changing, notably in the field of business and science. In the past decade, for instance, some scientific journals-mostly in medicine and conservation-have published reports of failed experiments. The belief is that the science community can also learn from “negative” results and that this can eventually lead to positive outcomes.
  In many ways, the business world already understands the value of negative results. To encourage entrepreneurship, the Netherlands-based ABN AMRO bank started an Institute of Brilliant Failures to learn more about what works and what doesn’t in banking. Similarly, Eli Lilly and Company, the pharmaceutical corporation, has “R&D outcome celebrations”-failure parties-to study data about drugs that don’t work. (Almost 90 percent of all drug trials fail, and the drugs cannot be sold.)
  In fact, one of the business world’s most famous failures eventually became one of its biggest successes, in part because the product’s makers learned from their mistakes. In the early 1990s, Apple Corporation created a hand-held device called the Apple Newton. The product, though unique at the time, was expensive and heavy; moreover, some of its most important features didn’t work properly. Consequently, it became one of Apple’s biggest failures, and in 1998, the company stopped selling it. However, Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs, believed the product had potential and he began to explore ways of improving it. In time, this led to the creation of the iPhone and the iPad, two of the company’s most successful products.
  The story of the Apple Newton can teach us another important lesson about failure. Not only should we try to learn from it; if we want to succeed, we must also be persistent. Though Apple stopped selling the Newton in 1998, the first iPhone wasn’t available until 2007. It took a lot of research and hard work to go from the Apple Newton to iPhone, but in the end, the effort paid off.
  Ultimately, there is a lot we can learn by studying mistakes. Perhaps the most important lesson is that failure and success are two sides of the same coin. One truly cannot exist without the other.
18.What is the best way to summarize the reading passage?答案顯示:【C】
(A)Success and fear are basically the same thing. (B)Failure is always followed by success. (C)You may need to fail before you can succeed. (D)Accepting failure is very difficult.
19.Why are some scientific journals starting to publish the results of failed experiments?答案顯示:【D】
(A)to encourage new experiments in other fields (B)so that people can discuss and share their findings at failure parties (C)to admit that the scientific community makes mistakes (D)because of the belief that negative results can lead to successful outcomes
20.Which advice would the author most likely agree with?答案顯示:【C】
(A)If you want to be successful, ask successful people what they did to succeed. (B)Accept that some people fail and not everyone is meant to succeed. (C)If you make a mistake, ask yourself what went wrong and try to learn from it. (D)You should think of failure and success as the same thing.

  Natural hot springs enrich the development of tourism within a country.Local and national governments can endorse a “hot spring international brand” and advocate the health benefits of hot springs to promote their tourism policy.After the legislation of the Taiwan Hot Spring Act, Taiwanese hot springs have become a popular tourist attraction and an important asset for local governments.However, Taiwan’s hot spring tourism is limited by seasonal consumption habits.In addition, mountainous land accounts for about 75% of Taiwan’s total land area, and most of the hot springs originate in high mountains.Furthermore, Taiwan’s hot spring development started after Japan and European countries and the scale of the industry was relatively small.Therefore, Taiwan is not conducive to the development of large-scale, internationally competitive hot spring resort centers.Still, Taiwan possesses a near-flawless hot spring law as well as progressive technological conditions in medicine, tourism, and information services, which will help promote innovation and deliver a more optimistic advantage for the development of an international hot spring brand.
  Over the history of the development of therapeutic spas, hot springs have been regarded as a valuable resource for preventive health care in many countries.People can combine hot springs with natural and human resources for relieving stress, rehabilitation, and recuperation.In 1993, approximately 1,700 resorts in Europe had healing spas.Japan currently has 3,000 spa resorts of various sizes and styles.In 2008, tourists from all over the world visited Japanese hot springs for leisure and holiday purposes.Meanwhile, European countries considered hot spring resorts as a place for health promotion and disease rehabilitation.There are many similarities between Taiwan and Japan, such as culture and resources.The booming hot spring and hotel industries make up a significant part of the strategy for tourism development in Taiwan.Nearby countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, and India are also actively expanding their hot spring industry and striving to incorporate hot springs into the medical tourism industry to create an internationally renowned brand.
71.According to the article, which of the following does not explain why Taiwan is disadvantageous for the development of large-scale, internationally competitive hot spring resort centers?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Most of the hot springs are in high mountain areas (B)Because of its late start, the scale of the industry is small (C)seasonal consumption habits(D)Population is not as good as Europe and Japan
72.The optimistic advantage of Taiwan’s development of its international hot springs brand is:答案顯示:【B】
(A)good geographical location(B)high industrial innovation technology (C)high international cooperation(D)friendly local customs
73.According to the history of spa medical development, which of the following was not the purpose of hot springs?答案顯示:【A】
(A)beauty(B)relaxation(C)rehabilitation(D)recuperation
74.The pattern of Taiwan’s hot spring tourism development was dissimilar to: 答案顯示:【D】
(A)Japan(B)Thailand(C)Malaysia(D)Europe
75.European countries regarded hot spring resorts as a place for: 答案顯示:【B】
(A)vacation(B)health care(C)stress relieving(D)beauty

  Technological advancements have resulted in rapid changes within the tourism industry.Applications of technologies such as VR(Virtual Reality), AR(Augmented Reality)and MR(Mixed Reality)in tourism have expanded the market and created revolutionary business opportunities.These technologies can provide remote support to enhance visitors’ travel experience.Microsoft, for example, developed HoloTour to create a whole new travel experience.The tourism industry can communicate with visitors in several ways: 1)Allow the tourists feel that they are experiencing travel through virtual reality; 2)Tourists can travel through time and space while visiting historical sites such as a Roman arena and connect to history by witnessing the battles from the perspective of the emperor; and 3)Tourism businesses can use AR technology to provide personalized virtual tour guide services in museums or other sightseeing spots.
  From the perspective of the tourism industry, big data plus travel technologies means huge business opportunities.Mobile devices, social media, and government or commercial databases have contributed to the accumulation of massive volumes of data.In 2011, with the hope of improving planning and the allocation of tourism resources, the Tourism Bureau of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications set up a tourism database to obtain information from local governments and upload a common format to the government’s open platform.The big data database also changes the way businesses interact with tourists and supports the development of opportunities for future sightseeing.Like the collaboration between PATA(Pacific Asia Travel Association)and Microsoft, businesses can collect big data to improve tourism resources, to develop smart sightseeing, and to better serve their customers.
  Another hot topic in travel technology is AI(Artificial Intelligence).By interacting with the film, the sales representative and the customer can arrange travel plans via several virtual assistants through the Conversation As A Platform(CAAP)dialogue platform and simultaneously book tickets and hotels.Moreover, AI technology can plan itineraries and recommend items.Tourism businesses can also use robots to provide services to tourists, such as translation or answering questions.Undoubtedly, competent robots will become one of the main salespeople of future sales packages.
76.This article mentions tourism businesses can use robots to provide which of the following services:答案顯示:【A】
(A)language support(B)guided tour(C)checked baggage(D)promoting tourism
77.What kind of technology does the tour trader use to provide a personalized virtual tour guide service in a museum or any other sightseeing place?答案顯示:【B】
(A)VR(Virtual Reality)(B)AR(Augmented Reality)(C)AI(Artificial Intelligence)(D)MR(Mixed Reality)
78.By using travel technology, what kind of sightseeing experience visitors cannot achieve through visuals?答案顯示:【D】
(A)moon sightseeing(B)tour of Ancient Roman Arena (C)roundabout sightseeing(D)tour of strawberry picking
79.What kind of tool do people in the tourism industry use to analyze travelers’ behavior patterns, change the way they interact with tourists, and seize the business opportunities of future sightseeing?答案顯示:【B】
(A)robot(B)big data(C)innovation service(D)artificial intelligence
80.Which kind of technology enables tourism businesses and visitors to use video to interact and provide services through the virtual assistant platform?答案顯示:【D】
(A)mobile device(B)database bank(C)artificial intelligence(D)MR(Mixed Reality)

  Today, Earth’s population stands at around seven billion, and it is still growing faster.As a result, the imbalance between what nature replenishes and humans consume will probably continue to grow.So how will so many people live on Earth without exhausting the planet?The key is sustainability—finding new and efficient ways of conserving more and consuming less—so that we do not ultimately exhaust our most valuable resources.
  Sustainable communities are cities and towns that encourage residents to protect their local environment in ways that also reduce their impact on the larger global environment.Residents in Mbam, Senegal, for example, use solar ovens to cook food.By using solar energy instead of cutting down trees, people are saving forests for future generations.Communities in other places are using improved public transportation systems to reduce the need for cars.In Curitiba, Brazil, city buses are frequent, convenient, and efficient—so 70 percent of Curitiba’s commuters use them.As a result, the city has little traffic jam and cleaner air.
  Another way to prevent depletion of natural resources is through proper forest management.Forest logging—the cutting down of trees—can contribute to water pollution, lead to the destruction of animal habitats, and have other negative effects on the environment.In an effort to preserve forests, several countries have begun creating certified forests.When a forest is certified, the logging is regulated and carried out in a sustainable way.In West Virginia(USA), for example, loggers in certified forests must receive special training to avoid causing soil erosion.Roughly seven percent of the world’s forests are certified.Canada has the largest areas, with almost 300 million acres of certified forests.
71.What is the reading mainly about?答案顯示:【B】
(A)The current environmental challenges around the world (B)Ways to prevent the exhaustion of the earth’s resources (C)Problems of overpopulation in different countries (D)The impact of forest logging on the global environment
72.What does the word “replenishes” in the first paragraph mean?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Exhaust(B)Tolerate(C)Obtain(D)Supply
73.Which of the following characteristics of a sustainable community is mentioned in the passage?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Establishing water recycling systems(B)Constructing more bike paths for commuters (C)Utilizing eco-friendly building materials(D)Using the sun’s energy for domestic cooking
74.What is the purpose of the third paragraph?答案顯示:【A】
(A)To suggest a viable approach to reducing the overuse of natural resources (B)To give an example of the destruction of animal habitats on the planet (C)To explain the procedures for setting up a forest certification program (D)To emphasize the importance of conserving vast areas of forests in Canada
75.Which of the following is true about certified forests?答案顯示:【C】
(A)No logging activity would be allowed in the entire certified area. (B)Only seven percent of the forests on earth have not been certified. (C)Loggers need to learn how to protect the ground from soil erosion. (D)Canada is the only country that has successfully created certified forests.

  There is a museum for everything these days.The latest museum to open may turn you off your dinner.It is the Disgusting Food Museum, which opened at the end of last year in Malmo, Sweden.Food is so much more than sustenance.Curious foods from exotic cultures have always fascinated people.Unfamiliar foods can be delicious, or they can be more of an acquired taste.The new exhibition allows people to analyze why they love and hate certain foods.It might also lead them to consider alternative food sources.The museum's founder, Dr.Samuel West, a psychologist by day and a museum curator by night, explained why he created the project.He said he was researching the effect of meat consumption and its effect on the environment.This made him think about alternative sources of protein, like insects.Although most people would think eating bugs is gross, Dr.West wanted to make them reconsider the idea.The exhibition invites visitors to explore the world of food and challenge their notions of what is and what is not edible.While many food-related museums of late have mostly just been opportunities for novel selfies, West is adamant that the Disgusting Food Museum is there to help people learn and think critically, not just to pose for photos.
  The museum is a 400-square-meter space that will challenge four of our five senses - smell, touch, sight and taste.The displays include food from around the world that some people might think is disgusting.However, people in other parts of the world think this food is totally normal and is a regular part of their diet.The food exhibits include American favorites such as Jell-O salad and world food like fried tarantula, fermented shark, roasted guinea pigs and sheep eyeball juice.Dr.West said that we could all eat any food, but our culture tells us what is tasty and what is not.According to him, what we find disgusting has to be learned—it's purely cultural.
76.What is the reading mainly about?答案顯示:【B】
(A)New findings on alternative foods (C)Dr.West’s healthy eating advice(B)Opening of a food museum(D)The American food exhibition
77.What does the word “adamant” in the first paragraph mean?答案顯示:【A】
(A)Determined(B)Curious(C)Innovative(D)Unsatisfied
78.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true about Dr.West?答案顯示:【D】
(A)He studied the impact of insects on the environment.(B)He is a biologist and works in a museum. (C)He encouraged museum visitors to take selfies and pose photos. (D)He established the Disgusting Food Museum.
79.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE about the food exhibition?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Visitors can smell, touch, and taste different disgusting foods. (B)A variety of world food such as fermented shark was on display. (C)It was held in a 400-square-meter museum in Sweden. (D)The displays only include food that is not a regular part of everyone’s diet.
80.Which is the best paraphrase of the last sentence in the second paragraph?“What we find disgusting has to be learned—it's purely cultural.” 答案顯示:【B】
(A)People need to appreciate every food culture even it is disgusting. (B)People learn what food to be disgusted through their own culture. (C)People tend to be disgusted about different cultural practices. (D)People learn to change their disgust about food in a new culture.

  Until the late 1700s, the economy of England was tightly controlled by the government, which limited the amount of interest that banks could charge, laid down rules about how employers should treat their workers, and set strict standards for how some products should be made.The government set up trade monopolies, giving certain companies the sole right to trade with certain parts of the world, like the English East India Company.[11]Then in the late 1700s, Adam Smith published a book called The Wealth of Nations, which advocated “laissez-faire,” meaning “to let alone” in French.[12]He said individuals should be let alone to make their own economic decisions—what products to make, how to make them, and what to charge for them.[13]People would be motivated by the opportunity to try new ideas and make more money.Society, as a result, would become wealthier.
  After Smith’s book was published, the idea of laissez-faire became more and more popular.[14]The new freedom to invent and invest helped spur the Industrial Revolution, creating, as Adam Smith had predicted, vast new wealth.
  But it also created the harsh conditions some employers maintained in the factories.These employers were believers in laissez-faire.[15]They say it was none of the government’s business how much their workers were paid or how many hours a day they worked.For obvious reasons, the idea of laissez-faire was more popular among employers than among their workers.

  Just as a passport represents national sovereignty—it is one of the defining categories of a claim to statehood—so harmonizing passports is a sign of cooperation.That can be a slow process.It took the nine members of the-then European Community(now the 27-strong European Union)years to settle on the color of the passport cover that its member states now share.In 1976, a year after a uniform passport was first proposed, Britain shuddered at the suggested shade of delicate lilac.Diplomats then spent four years dismissing maroon and then purple before reaching a wine-colored consensus in 1981.
  America’s first passport cover, in 1918, was beige, going green three years later.It changed to various shades of red in 1926 and back to green in 1941.Only on the bicentenary in 1976 did it turn blue, matching the shade in the American flag.
  The common color was supposed to make European passports instantly recognizable.But since colors cannot be patented, nothing stops others with the same idea.Some countries that hoped to join the EU quickly adopted the right color of passport as a branding exercise.In South America the Andean Community,which once had EU-like aspirations, also favors wine-colored passports.Mercosur and Caricom, two other regional groupings, favor an American-style dark blue.
  Countries commonly pick colors that reflect their culture or religion, says Claire Burrows of De La Rue,a British company that has been making passports since 1915.Islamic countries often have green passport covers(though Germany’s passport used to be that color, as are those of members of the Economic Community of West African States).According to Bill Waldron of Holliston, a Tennessee-based firm that prints documents for 65 of the world’s 249 passport-issuing entities, darker colors are popular because they show dirt less, heighten the contrast with the crest and look more official—much as police wear dark uniforms.
  Interpol—one of a handful of international organizations with passport-issuing powers—provides evidence for that theory: its new travel document is black.The UN’s passport, like the helmets of its peacekeeping force, is a pacific blue.
  Fun-colored passports exist too.But they can sometimes seem a punishment: Sweden and the Netherlands issue emergency travel documents for nationals who have lost their passports.They are pink.
16.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?答案顯示:【C】
(A)In 1918, the passport color was beige in the US. (B)In 1930, the US used burgundy covers for their passports. (C)From 1941 to 1976, US travelers were issued burgundy passports. (D)The color of US passport changed to blue as its 200th anniversary was marked.
17.Which of the following countries use the same color for their passports?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Peru and the US(B)The UK and Saudi Arabia. (C)Spain and Nigeria(D)Liberia and Pakistan.
18.Which of the followings about the meanings of passport colors is NOT mentioned in the passage?答案顯示:【B】
(A)Representing their culture(B)Emphasizing their national sovereignty. (C)Reflecting their religion(D)Matching their national flag.
19.According to the passage, why do passports normally come in dark shades?答案顯示:【C】
(A)To show patriotism and respect their own history.(B)To coordinate with passports of other countries. (C)To look formal in the international arena.(D)To fit in with the multicultural world.
20.What does the word “Interpol” possibly refer to?答案顯示:【A】
(A)International Criminal Police Organization(B)Andean Community of Nations. (C)Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation(D)Petroleum Exporting Country Organization.

  When contemporary women writers write about mother-daughter relationships, they often put an emphasis on forging a connection between them.In their writing, even though mothers and daughters do have ambivalence toward each other, they are often capable of resolving this problem and finally recognizing their bond as mothers and daughters.Yet, when it comes to writing about mother-son relationships, it becomes a completely different story.Most women writers stress the alienation between mothers and sons owing to the fact that they are of different gender.Therefore, when women writers write about their experiences of raising sons, they usually find themselves crossing over into a different territory.Feelings of apprehension and distress arise when mothers discover to their astonishment that their sons have become a total stranger to them especially when the sons have stepped into adulthood.In addition, since mothers are constrained by the society at large to avoid being too close to their sons in fear that they might smother their sons, contemporary women writers have depicted mostly the separation between them but have also unveiled how mothers come to terms with this separation from their sons.
  Take the two contemporary novels, Margaret Forster’s Mothers’ Boys and Rosellen Brown’s Before and After, as examples.With a common theme on mother-son relationships, both novels portray a similar incident of a son who is suspected of committing a murder and how this unexpected event has profoundly harmed the mother-son relationships.Coincidently, both novels have an identical scene with a mother-son encounter in a juvenile prison.In this confrontation between mothers and sons, mothers have to their bewilderment come to realize that their sons have become unknown to them.And as these mother-son narratives continue to develop, the mothers and sons in these novels finally separate from each other.The only difference between these novels is their contrast in treating the mother-son relationship.Forster presents the mother as the one who takes up her traditional role by accepting passively this separation from son and waiting patiently until the son returns one day whereas Brown describes a mother who exercises her agency and power to deal with her son’s act of crime.Later, she not only fulfills her social responsibility as a mother but also decides her way of handling the mother-son separation.Despite that the two texts illustrate two conflicting ways of reading and writing mother-son relationships, they also inform us that there exists a powerful reading and writing against the grain.
21.Which field of study is most closely related to this passage?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Human Resources(B)Social Work.(C)Human Rights(D)Women’s Studies.
22.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true about the mother-son relationship?答案顯示:【C】
(A)Mothers find it hard to discipline their sons.(B)Sons express less filial piety to their mothers. (C)Mothers sense great indifference from their sons.(D)Sons have strong anxiety over being mothers’ boys.
23.Why is the mother-son separation a prevailing theme in contemporary women’s writing?答案顯示:【A】
(A)Because mothers are advised to disconnect with their sons. (B)Because mothers feel obligated to attach themselves to their sons. (C)Because sons desire to strike a link with their mothers. (D)Because sons demonstrate resentment against their mothers.
24.How does Brown portray a mother who seems to be more compelling than that of Forster?答案顯示:【B】
(A)She makes a mother more dominant by monitoring everything her son does. (B)She allows a mother to work out the mother-son relationship on her own terms. (C)She enables a mother to embrace her selfhood by acting as a professional woman. (D)She creates a mother who knows how to rely on her knowledge to mold her son.
25.What is the actual meaning of the concluding sentence, “there exists a powerful reading and writing against the grain”?答案顯示:【D】
(A)It indicates that motherhood can be manipulative and nurturing. (B)It denotes that the social control of motherhood is severe and unexpected. (C)It argues that mothers have the authority to treat their children differently. (D)It illustrates that the act of mothering can go beyond the traditional script.

  A new study has just discovered that reading has an important impact on people's lifespan.Over the course of the study, the researchers[16]found that the readers lived longer than the non-readers.The readers who read over 3.5 hours a week lived a full 23 months longer than the people who didn't read at all.That extended lifespan applied to all reading participants,[17]"gender, wealth, education or health" factors.That's a 20% reduction in[18]created by a sedentary activity.

  We've all had nights when we lie awake in bed, unable to quiet our racing thoughts.There are plenty of reasons why sleep may be evading you—maybe you had caffeine too late in the afternoon,[21], or you've been staring at your laptop screen for hours and haven't given yourself time to relax before bed.These are things to keep in mind for improving future nights of sleep.But what if you've done everything "right" leading up to bedtime, and you still find yourself[22]and turning?
  It's very common for people to report being physically tired, but not being able to shut their mind off, especially if they're very worried about something.Worries keep people awake, and they don't have to be[23]worries.It could also be something positive you're planning, like a trip or a big event with a lot of things you have to remember.Spending time during the day or earlier in the evening to sit and[24]those concerns may help, but if it's too late for that, grab a notebook and try physically writing them down in a list for the next day.A recent study found that writing out a to-do list of future tasks helped people fall asleep nine minutes faster than people who wrote about tasks they'd already[25]that day.Researchers think the act of getting them down on paper helps clear the mind and stop rumination, at least temporarily.

  Artificial intelligence(AI)has been around longer than most people realize.The intent behind much of AI is to free us from mundane repetitive tasks, giving us more time to grow our intellects and businesses, with more interesting, evolving actions.AI offers us that access with speed and accuracy when we need it.
  In London, self-driving robots deliver food.In Pasadena, California, a robot named Flippy can cook.Last fall, an autonomous train made its way across the Australian outback for the first time, and Zhuzhou, China,began testing a trackless and driverless train that navigates city streets by means of lines painted on the road.Artificial intelligence is everywhere.And its adoption is rapidly becoming necessary for businesses to stay competitive.
  How does this affect human employees?Those low-skilled jobs are most likely to be affected and mostchances of being automated.White collar jobs are also at risk though with AI taking a bigger role in the financialindustry.
  But despite all this, the future for human employees may be much brighter than many recent predictions.While AI destroys jobs, it also creates them.And according to a report from the research firm Gartner, artificial intelligence is currently creating more jobs than it destroys.This includes not only the obvious jobs such as software engineers but also low-level jobs such as training AI to recognize objects or human activity and many others.
  AI may destroy jobs and it may create them, but it's not always about man versus machine.AI can be at its best when it helps humans to perform jobs.For example, Walmart announced it was beginning tests of shelf scanning robots at 50 locations.These robots are not intended to replace human workers but to make them more efficient.The robots scan the condition of shelves, and workers may focus their time on filling the shelves,replacing items left in the wrong place and fixing problems that the robots notify them of.
31.What does the author try to express in this passage?答案顯示:【C】
(A)AI will ultimately take over eveything, and then it will be the end of the world. (B)AI is completely favorable because it saves man power and money. (C)AI and humans can cooperate in a wonderful way to improve efficiency. (D)AI will dominate every industry, and people will become unemployed at last.
32.According to the author, what is the situation that AI affects human employees?答案顯示:【A】
(A)Bus drivers may lose working opportunities in the future because of driverless technology. (B)White collar jobs are irreplaceable because the work content is very professional. (C)AI can teach people to recognize objects or human activity and many others. (D)The employment situation is much worse than prediction because AI is everywhere.
33.In the case of Walmart, how does AI help in the process of sale?答案顯示:【B】
(A)AI recognizes customers and takes picture of them. (B)AI scans the condition of shelves and notify workers to respond to it. (C)AI makes decisions for the customers who are not sure about what to buy. (D)AI detects customers' shopping habits and uploads the data to the marketing department.
34.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?答案顯示:【B】
(A)Since the invention of AI , it's always about man versus machine. (B)While AI takes away working opportunities, it also creates them. (C)In China, trackless and driverless trains are running everywhere. (D)The future for human employees may be more gloomy than many recent predictions.
35.Where does this passage most likely appear?答案顯示:【D】
(A)A pamphlet, Globalization is Evil(B)A magazine, Mass Transportation. (C)A book, The God's Will(D)A journal, Applied Technology.

  Is it true that loneliness causes more misery in the world than any other spiritual condition in life?Generally speaking, it is.Loneliness is a negative emotion that almost everyone suffers from now and then.This solitary feeling may even torture one's soul moment to moment throughout lifetime.Contrary to general belief, loneliness does not necessarily result from the state of being alone.To get over loneliness, it is essential to realize the source of this emotion.
  Loneliness must be examined honestly and completely before it can be handled since it is actually a deep-rooted personality habit.To begin with, personal beliefs and memories that support the feeling of loneliness must be discovered and understood.Then, the habitually lonely feeling has to be replaced with more constructive emotions.
  You must understand that feeling lonely now and then is not abnormal, and neither is it your fault.Life is sometimes a lonely process, which can somehow provide the energy and motion needed for personal growth and spiritual understanding.In other words, loneliness is a challenge, not a problem.It becomes a problem only when you view yourself as its victim and consider yourself incompetent to find any solution.
  Loneliness serves as a signal to get your attention so that you can start to deal with your inner state of being.In fact, loneliness can be your very best friend.You may even need to be thankful that it exists for it stimulates you to develop relationships with other people and pushes you out into the world to look for ways of meeting your interpersonal needs.
36.What is the main purpose of the passage?答案顯示:【A】
(A)To explain the nature of loneliness and to provide some applicable solutions. (B)To list sources of loneliness and to compare differences between beliefs and memories. (C)To analyze the physical symptoms of loneliness and to advise some medical treatments. (D)To emphasize the abnormal aspects of loneliness and their impact on mental health.
37.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Loneliness can remind you to look into your own inner life. (B)People do not need to blame themselves for their loneliness. (C)Positive emotions can be used to take the place of loneliness. (D)Being alone will definitely contribute to the feeling of loneliness.
38.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word "incompetent"?答案顯示:【B】
(A)Vital(B)Unable(C)Thrilled(D)Doomed.
39.What is the author's general attitude while concluding the issue of loneliness?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Ironic(B)Passive(C)Doubtful(D)Optimistic.
40.Which of the following statements is true?答案顯示:【A】
(A)Sometimes the feeling of loneliness may even last through one's whole life. (B)Loneliness is not a problem since it has nothing to do with spiritual understanding. (C)There are quite a few emotional states more miserable than the feeling of loneliness. (D)It makes no difference whether people are honest or not when they examine their loneliness.

  Katsushika Hokusai is a Japanese artist of the Edo period(1603-1868).Born in Edo, modern Tokyo, in 1760,he is best known for the woodblock print series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji.The series, made in the 1830s,depicted Mount Fuji from different locations and in different seasons.He created the series as a response to a domestic travel boom and as a part of a personal obsession with Mount Fuji.Under the Wave off Kanagawa is the most iconic work of the series.Portraying water is not easy, but Hokusai captured its decisive moments.What enabled him to work in this way was his experience of residing in the Sumida area, with all its rivers and canals,and observing the flow of the Sumida River day by day.
  Hokusai was born in the Sumida district and lived there for almost 90 years.But he was never in one place for long.He found cleaning distasteful and allowed dirt and grime to build up in his studio.When the place became unbearable, he simply moved out.All told, the artist changed residences 93 times throughout his life.
  Constantly seeking to produce better works, Hokusai once commented: "All that I have done before 70 is not worth taking into account.At 75, I will have truly learned the pattern of nature, of animals, of trees and birds.At 80, I shall progress further.At 90, I shall penetrate the mystery of life itself.At 100 I shall be a marvelous artist.When I am 110, each dot and line will possess a life of its own." Hokusai, however, never got to see whether his prediction held true.He died at the age of 88.Prior to his death, he was said to have remarked: "If the son of heaven gives me just another five years, I will become a true artisan."

  Solar is the first energy source in the world.It was in use much earlier before humans even learn how to light a fire.Many living things are dependent on solar energy from plants, aquatic life, and the animals.The solar is mostly used in generating light and heat.The solar energy coming down to the planet is affected by the orbital path of the sun and its variations within the galaxy.In addition, it is affected by activity taking place in space and on the sun.It was this energy that is believed to have been responsible for the breaking of ice during the ice age,which creates the separation of lands and sea.
  Solar energy is the alternative energy source that is used most widely across the globe.About 70% of the sunlight gets reflected back into the space and we have only 30% of the sunlight to meet up our energy demands.While the sunlight is used for producing solar energy, it is also used for drying clothes, used by plants during the process of photosynthesis, and also used by human beings during winter seasons to make their body warm.
  There are two kinds of solar energy, namely, the passive solar energy and the active solar energy.Thepassive solar energy basically uses duration, position, and the intensity of the sun's rays to its advantage in heating a particular area and also in inducing airflow from an area to the next.The active solar energy uses electrical technology and mechanical technology like collection panels in capturing, converting, and storing of energy for future use.
  Solar energy does not create any pollution and is widely used by many countries.It is a renewable source of power since the sun will continue to produce sunlight all the years.Solar panels, which are required to harness this energy can be used for a long time and require little or no maintenance.However, solar energy proves to be ineffective in colder regions which don't receive good sunlight.It cannot be used during the night and not all the light from the sun can be trapped by solar panels.Solar energy's advantages are much more than itsdisadvantages, which makes it a viable source of producing alternative energy.
46.Which of the following titles best expresses the main idea of this passage?答案顯示:【A】
(A)Solar Energy: How It Works and Its Limitations(B)Solar Energy: Its Advantages and Developments. (C)Solar Energy: Its Past and Current Developments(D)Solar Energy: Why It's Widely Used and Its Future.
47.What is the second paragraph mainly about?答案顯示:【C】
(A)Why solar energy is widely used(B)The amount of sunlight we can use. (C)How the sunlight is used on the Earth(D)The energy demands around the world.
48.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Solar energy hasn't been widely used until the past few hundreds of years. (B)More than 50% of the sunlight can be used to meet up our energy demands. (C)The passive solar energy proves to be particularly effective in colder regions. (D)The active solar energy with the help of modern technology can be stored for future use.
49.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true about solar energy?答案顯示:【C】
(A)It doesn't create any pollution(B)It can be used for a long time. (C)It needs much maintenance work(D)It doesn't work well in colder regions.
50.What does "harness" in the last paragraph mean?答案顯示:【B】
(A)Combine(B)Exercise(C)Discover(D)Improve.

  These days so many marriages end in divorce that our sacred vows no longer ring with truth.“Happily ever after” and “Till death do us part” are expressions that seem on the way to becoming obsolete.Why has it become so hard for couples to stay together?What goes wrong?What has happened to us that close to one-half of all marriage are destined for the divorce courts?How could we have created a society in which 42 percent of our children will grow up in single-parent homes?If statistics could only measure loneliness, regret, pain, loss of self-confidence and fear of the future, the number would be beyond quantifying.
  Even though each broken marriage is unique, we can still find the common perils, the common causes of despair.Each marriage has crisis points, and each marriage tests endurance, the capacity for both intimacy and change.Outside pressures(such as job loss, illness, infertility, trouble with a child, care of aging parents and all the other plagues of life)hit marriage the way hurricanes blast our shores.Some marriages survive these storms, and others don’t.
  Marriages fail, however, not simply because of the outside weather, but because the inner climate becomes too hot or too cold, too turbulent or too stupefying.Marriage takes some kind of sacrifice, not dreadful self-sacrifice of the soul, but some level of compromise.Marriage requires sexual, financial, and emotional discipline.A man and a woman cannot follow every impulse; they cannot allow themselves to stop growing or changing.
  Divorce is not an evil act.Sometimes it provides salvation for people who have grown hopelessly apart and were frozen in patterns of pain and mutual unhappiness.Divorce can be, despite its initial devastation, like the first cut of the surgeon’s knife, a step toward new health and a good life.
46.What is the focus of this passage?答案顯示:【C】
(A)Marriage.(B)Divorce rates.(C)Causes of divorce.(D)People’s right to divorce.
47.According to this passage, which of the following statements is true?答案顯示:【A】
(A)Marriages do not fail for no reasons.(B)Marriages always fail. (C)Outside pressures cause divorce more easily than inner pressures. (D)All people divorce for the same reasons.
48.What is the central idea of the last paragraph?答案顯示:【B】
(A)Married people should never divorce.(B)Divorce can be helpful sometimes. (C)Married people should divorce for a better life.(D)Divorce is always bad to married couples.
49.According to this passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?答案顯示:【A】
(A)To maintain a marriage, the couple should stick to their own value systems. (B)To maintain a marriage, compromise is necessary. (C)Married people should not stop growing or unchanging.(D)Each marriage tests endurance.
50.What is the meaning of the word “sacrifice” in the third paragraph?答案顯示:【D】
(A)for a couple to offend each other(B)for a couple to reject each other’s wants (C)for a couple to emphasize their own self-esteem(D)for a couple to compromise with each other

請依下文回答第15題至第19題
  Free trade is a free market policy followed by some international markets in which governments do not restrict imports from, or exports to, other countries.Trade treaties increase freedom to trade and do not result in loss of sovereignty.However, most governments still impose some protectionist policies that are intended to support local employment, such as applying tariffs to imports or subsidies to exports.Governments may also restrict exports of natural resources.Other trade barriers include import quotas, taxes, and non-tariff barriers, such as regulatory legislation.
  Take the United States as an example.There is a growing rhetoric about imposing tariffs and limiting freedom to trade internationally.It reflects a resurgence of old arguments that stay alive in large part because the benefits of free international trade are often diffuse and hard to see, while the benefits of shielding specific groups from foreign competition are often immediate and visible.This illusion fuels the common perception that free trade isdetrimental to the U.S.economy.It also tips the scales in favor of special interests seeking protection from foreign competition, which results in thousands of tariffs, quotas, and other barriers imposed to trade.
  However, restrictions on foreign trade all too often harm the very people they aim to protect, i.e., American consumers and producers.Trade restrictions limit the choices of what Americans can buy; they also drive up the prices of everything from clothing and groceries to the materials manufacturers use to make everyday products.Lower-income Americans generally bear a disproportionate share of these costs.Not only do they spend more of their income on consumption goods, many of the goods they consume are subject to higher tariffs than more expensive goods of the same type.
  There is a broad consensus among economists that protectionism has a negative effect on economic growth and economic welfare, while free trade and the reduction of trade barriers to trade has a positive effect on economic growth.However, they also point out that liberalization of trade can cause significant and unequally distributed losses and the economic dislocation of workers in import-competing sectors.
15.Which of the following is the best title for this passage?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Free Trade: Better Safe than Sorry(B)Free Trade: Addressing Key Myths (C)Free Trade: Taking U.S.As an Example(D)Free Trade: Two Sides of the Same Coin
16.What is the third paragraph mainly about?答案顯示:【A】
(A)Consequences of trade restrictions in the U.S.(B)Protection of American consumers and producers. (C)Increasing prices of everyday products in the U.S.(D)Limited purchase choices of American consumers.
17.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?答案顯示:【B】
(A)The benefits of free international trade are often immediate and visible.(B)Lower-income people suffer more from tariffs than higher-income people. (C)Governments may stop imposing trade barriers to limit exports of natural resources.(D)A nation's signing of free trade agreement may result in loss of its sovereignty.
18.What does detrimental mean in this article?答案顯示:【B】
(A)Critical(B)Harmful(C)Manageable(D)Temporary.
19.Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude toward free trade?答案顯示:【B】

  A thin magnetic stripe is all that stands between Americans’ credit-card information and the bad guys.And they’ve been working hard to break in.Banks, law enforcement and technology companies are all trying to thwart a network of hackers who are swiping account numbers, names and other crucial data used in identity theft.More than 100 million accounts at Target, Neiman Marcus and Michaels stores were all affected in recent attacks, starting November 2013.
  Cards are increasingly vulnerable to attacks in store transactions.Hackers scoop up massive troves of credit-, debit- or prepaid-card numbers using malware inserted surreptitiously into the retailers’ checkout systems.Hackers then sold the data to a second group of criminals operating in shadowy corners of the web.Not long after, the stolen data was showing up on counterfeit cards and being used for online purchases.
  The solution could cost as little as $2 extra for every piece of plastic issued.The fix is a security technology used heavily outside the U.S.While American credit cards use the 40-year-old magstripe technology to process transactions, much of the rest of the world uses smarter cards with the EMV(short for Europay, MasterCard, Visa), a technology that employs a chip embedded in the card plus a customer PIN to authenticate every transaction on the spot.If a purchaser fails to punch in the correct PIN at the checkout, the transaction gets rejected.
  The cost of a magstripe card is in the dollar range.A chip-and-PIN card currently costs close to $3.Multiple $3 by 5 billion cards in circulation in the U.S.Then consider that there’s an estimated $12.4 billion in card fraud on a global basis.With 44% of that in the U.S., American credit-card fraud amounts to $5.5 billion annually.Card issuers find that absorbing the liability for even big hacks like the Target one is still cheaper than replacing all that plastic.
  That leaves American retailers pretty much alone the world over in relying on magstripe technology,and leaves consumers vulnerable.Ironically enough, the historical reason the U.S.has stuck with magstripe is the once superior technology.The nation’s cheap, ultra-reliable wired networks made credit-card authentication over the phone frictionless.In France, card companies created EMV partly because the telephone monopoly was so maddeningly inefficient and expensive.The workaround allowed transactions to be verified locally and securely.
20.Who are the bad guys mentioned in Paragraph 1?答案顯示:【C】

請依下文回答第56題至第60題
  Mark Finney at the US Forest Service and his colleagues sometimes do the unthinkable.They go out into the bush and start a fire.But they’re not arsonists and these fires aren’t sprawling or highly destructive.They’re controlled burns of real vegetation that give scientists a better understanding of how flames leap from one branch to another.Studying that can help predict how real wildfires may spread.
  Among the measurements Finney and his team take include the amount of time that flames spend burning in one area, how quickly they propagate through vegetation and what kind of heat exchange is going on as they do so.These experiments have taken place in New Zealand.The burn areas are cordoned off by barriers that stop the fire getting out of control.
  “We have drones that fly over and give us a view of what’s going on from the air, we have cameras that are protected by an aluminum and insulation housing that allow you to put them inside the fire,” he says.“It usually takes a day or more to set up all the instruments and of course you have to have the weather conditions cooperating.”
  It’s all part of a modern human quest – to know what makes fire tick.A supposedly crucial moment in the history of human evolution is the “discovery” of fire.But fire has been a natural occurrence on Earth since long before our ancestors took their first steps.And today, far from being something under our control, fire often takes the form of a man-made disaster.In the US, well over 80% of wildfires are started, usually accidentally, by people.
  This year, like last year, many parts of the planet have experienced very hot and dry summers, sharply raising the chance of wildfires taking hold once ignited.
  Woodlands have blazed in Greece, Sweden, and Siberia among other hotspots.The southwestern US state of California has just recorded its largest wildfire on record.
  What if we’d known when and where these fires would start?Or how they would wax and wane?If we had such knowledge, we’d surely be better able to protect the towns and communities that are at risk from destruction.
  Finney hopes that data from his experiments will improve the existing models that are used to project wildfire spread.Some of those models are too simplistic, he explains.
56.Which of the following is the most appropriate title for this passage?答案顯示:【C】
(A)The Discovery of Fire by Humans.(B)The Rise and Fall of Wildfires. (C)The Quest to Predict and Stop the Spread of Wildfires.(D)The Models of Predicting and Stopping Wildfires.
57.How does Finney find some of the existing models used to project wildfires spread?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Boring.(B)Thorny.(C)Perfect.(D)Simplistic.
58.What does the phrase “wax and wane” mean in this passage?答案顯示:【B】
(A)To appear and then disappear again(B)To grow stronger and then weaker again (C)To stop and then start again(D)To die and become alive again
59.Why do Finney and his colleagues start a fire on purpose?答案顯示:【A】
(A)To better understand how fire spreads(B)To understand why fire is a man-made disaster (C)To see how drones work in a wildfire(D)To see how cameras are protected by an aluminum in a fire
60.Which of the following statements is TRUE?答案顯示:【D】
(A)This history of fire is as old as human history.(B)Humans know exactly how wildfires work. (C)Over 80% of wildfires in the US are started by humans on purpose. (D)The fire started by Finney is controlled and hence not destructive.

  There is perhaps no single substance so vital to life yet so often taken for granted in modern times as salt.Throughout history, salt has played pivotal roles in human health as an agent of both nutrition and food preservation.Salt is so important, in fact, that in the past access to it could determine the success or failure of a population.Many of the earliest cities were founded and thrived specifically due to their proximity to a natural salt source.
  The ancient world was made up of regions where salt was abundant and others where it was not; therefore, salt was one of the original motivators for trade.Given the weight of the commodity, it was most easily transported by boat.Evidence has been uncovered of a Mayan salt production center in Guatemala located next to a principal riverine trading route.The marine salt trade in the Mediterranean region is well documented, and Marco Polo noted during his visit to China that salt was shipped from the coast up the Yangtze River in great quantities.
  The high value of salt provided great power to those who controlled its distribution, and many of history’s great cities owed their affluence to it.Venice, for example, gained prominence partly as a result of the salt gathered in its lagoons.By 1350, Venice had secured a monopoly, and all salt produced in the Adriatic region had to pass through Venice, where its price was marked up substantially before it could be sold.The wealth derived from this trade helped fuel the artistic and scientific innovations of the Italian Renaissance.The role salt has played throughout history is impressive.Columbus’s voyage of discovery to the New World was financed by salt production in Southern Spain.France’s territorial expansions under Napoleon were largely paid for by a tax charged on salt purchases, and the State of New York used a similar tax to fund the creation of its 363-mile Erie Canal.
57.What is the passage mainly about?答案顯示:【C】
(A)The value of naturally occurring salt today(B)The decrease of our need for salt over time (C)Salt’s impact on civilizations throughout history(D)The possible uses of salt in the future
58.What did the Chinese have in common with the ancient Mayans?答案顯示:【A】
(A)They utilized river routes to ship salt.(B)They produced salt in coastal areas. (C)They became powerful with salt money.(D)They invited foreigners to inspect their salt trade.
59.The word commodity in the passage is closest in meaning to‧答案顯示:【C】
(A)agenda(B)vessel(C)product(D)currency
60.What can be inferred about the salt sold under Venice's monopoly?答案顯示:【A】
(A)It was much more expensive than before.(B)It was distributed far beyond the Adriatic region. (C)It was of a poorer quality than before.(D)It was produced primarily in the lagoons near Venice.

  Police career is a profession that demands higher ethical standards than others.It is often said that police officers are like living in a transparent fish tank, being watched all the time.The majority of police officers are dedicated and hard-working, serving the people and doing the right things.All police officers have ideals: integrity and honesty,justice and courage.Yet, sometimes, we heard stories of bad cops doing bad things—bribery, misuse of force, abuse of authority, etc.These are the black sheep that hurt the entire profession and violate police code of ethics.Police officers should never permit personal feelings, prejudices, political beliefs, aspirations, animosities or friendships to influence their decisions.The following Law Enforcement Oath of Honor is recommended by the International Association of Chiefs of Police(IACP)as a symbolic statement of commitment to ethical behavior:
  On my honor, I will never betray my badge, my integrity, my character, or the public trust.I will always have the courage to hold myself and others accountable for our actions.I will always uphold my community and the agency I serve.
  The Oath of Honor’s brevity allows it to be constantly referred to and reinforced during conversations and ceremonies.It is strongly recommended by the IACP that all agencies adopt the Law Enforcement Oath of Honor.

請依下文回答第 41 題至第 45 題
  Bees and France have a long history together.In the 1800s, Napoleon Bonaparte chose the bee as a symbol of France.In the same century, in 1865, the beekeeping school of Luxembourg Gardens in Paris was started.At that time there were around 2,000 beehives in the city.After that the numbers went down for some time, but beekeeping has become popular again recently.Now there are over 700 hives in Paris.Some of these hives are actually on the roofs of famous Parisian buildings such as Notre Dame, the Opéra Garnier, and the Grand Palais.Others are kept on the roofs of famous hotels and restaurants such as the Mandarin-Oriental.Down below in the kitchens, chefs use the unique honey to make tasty desserts.
  The most amazing part of the bees and their honey is not even where they live.It is the amount, the quality, and the flavor of the honey.First, city bees make three to five times more honey than country bees.This may be because there are no pesticides in the parks and gardens in Paris.Rural French beekeepers lose up to 40 percent of their hives each year because of disease, pesticides, and other causes.However, urban beekeepers lose less than five percent.“That’s interesting,” you might be thinking, “but isn’t there a lot of pollution in Paris?” In fact, the pollution does not seem to affect the honey.Parisian honey was tested for 30 kinds of pollution, and none was found.As for the taste, Parisian bees have many different kinds of flowers and exotic plants to choose from.In the countryside, however, there is usually only one type of plant.The flowers in Paris give the honey a special taste like cherry or bubblegum.Although the honey is popular, it is quite expensive.
  Beekeepers in Paris face some small problems.For instance, if there are too many hives in one area, the bees might not have enough food.Therefore, beekeepers must work together and spread out their hives.Another problem is bees in restaurants.One beekeeper had to remove his hives from the roof of a restaurant after his bees started drinking from the flower vases.However, most problems can be avoided if beekeepers are responsible.
41.According to the passage, how many beehives are there in Paris now?答案顯示:【A】
(A)Over 700(B)1800s(C)1900s(D)Around 2000
42.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the most amazing feature of Parisian bees and their honey?答案顯示:【C】
(A)Amount(B)Flavor(C)Location(D)Quality
43.What does the word “exotic” mean in this passage?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Beautiful(B)Blooming(C)Fresh(D)Foreign
44.Which of the following statements is TRUE?答案顯示:【C】
(A)Parisian bees make less honey than country bees(B)Parisian bees are affected by urban pollution. (C)Parisian honey is tastier than rural honey(D)Bees have no problem finding food in Paris.
45.Which of the following titles best describes this passage?答案顯示:【B】
(A)The Bee Is a Symbol of France(B)Beehives on Rooftops of Paris (C)Parisian Honey Is Expensive(D)Problems of Beekeeping in Paris

  Since occupants of an office building can be expected to be familiar with their environment, have less delay in starting their evacuation, and are generally more mobile and able bodied, they will likely take less time to reach protected exits.Therefore, an office building smoke control system might be limited to active systems to protect its stairways and passive means to protect floor-to-floor smoke spread.If, however, the same office building has high occupant loads per floor or the building includes assembly or dining at the top floor(s), or there is a simultaneous evacuation of numerous floors resulting in longer evacuation times due to queuing, the additional analysis may be necessary to determine whether additional active or passive smoke control measures are necessary.
46.Why do the staff in the office buildings have more available time in starting their evacuation?答案顯示:【B】
(A)Because they are younger(B)Because they know where they are (C)Because they have frequent fire drills(D)Because the detection and alarm systems activate normally
47.Which of the following is NOT the possible path for floor-to-floor smoke spread in office buildings?答案顯示:【C】

49.Which of the following possible passive means can be inferred from the passage?答案顯示:【C】
(A)Adopting a sprinkler system(B)Adopting a fire detection system (C)Adopting fire-resistant materials(D)Adopting an indoor hydrant system

  London is one of the top travel destinations in the world, but for a first time visitor, navigating this large city can be overwhelming.Using an Oyster card is an easy way to save time and money if you are planning to use public transportation in London.An Oyster card is a blue credit-card-sized contactless smartcard that can be used on every form of public transportation within London, including public bus, underground, railway, and some river boat services.
  The Oyster card was first issued on June 30, 2003.The name was decided after a lengthy discussion.Two other proposed names were “Pulse” and “Gem.” “Oyster” was chosen because it sounded like a fresh name that was not directly linked to transportation; also, the hard shell of an oyster and the concealed pearl symbolize security and value.But perhaps the best reason is William Shakespeare’s quote “ The world is your oyster,” which means one has the ability and freedom to do anything or go anywhere.So far more than 60 million cards have been issued and over 85% of rail and bus travel in London is paid by using an Oyster card.The card never expires.It can be used after any length of time.Besides, deposits can be refunded on return of the card.
  The best reason to get an Oyster card is cost savings and convenience.It is cheaper to travel in London with this card than it is to purchase individual paper tickets for each trip.The card allows 40 people to pass through a ticket gate per minute, 15 more than with paper tickets, and also makes boarding a bus three times faster.For London Underground and the railway system, passengers have to touch the card on an electronic reader when entering and leaving the transport system.The reader will show either a green or a red light.The former indicates that you have sufficient credit for your journey while the latter indicates you do not have enough credit and you have to purchase more credit before you can continue your journey.For the public bus service, which has fixed price, passengers only need to touch the reader at the start of the journey when boarding.If you touch the reader again when you get off the bus, you will be charged an additional fare.
46.Which of the following is the passage most likely to be taken from?答案顯示:【A】
(A)A city guidebook(B)A technology magazine. (C)A travel safety report(D)An instruction book for bus drivers.
47.Which of the following is the best definition of the word "expire" in the passage?答案顯示:【C】
(A)To make efforts(B)To receive money(C)To come to an end(D)To remain unknown.
48.What does a passenger have to do when taking the bus with an Oyster card?答案顯示:【A】
(A)To touch the reader only once(B)To wait for the green light to show. (C)To show the card to the bus driver(D)To pay the fare when getting off the bus.
49.According to the passage, in what way is an Oyster card a better choice than a paper ticket?答案顯示:【C】
(A)It prevents passengers from being charged twice.(B)The electronic ticket is more environmentally friendly. (C)It can save the time passengers pass through the gate. (D)The more a passenger travels, the more refunds he or she can get.
50.Which of the following statements about the Oyster card is correct?答案顯示:【D】
(A)The card cannot be returned.(B)The name “Oyster” is associated with efficiency. (C)The pink smartcard is the same size as a credit card. (D)The name of the card was inspired by a Shakespeare’s quote.

  History has shown that languages attached to power, wealth, and prestige have spread at the expense of those viewed less favorably.Therefore, as the power attached to Mandarin Chinese or Hindi grows, so too will the use of these languages in the global arena.While we do not deny a future shift in world power, it is unlikely that these languages will replace English immediately since the trade-off between languages is not a zero- sum game.

請依下文回答第 26 題至第 30 題:
  Extending health coverage to illegal immigrants is sound policy.The inclusion of the illegal-immigrant population may lower costs in numerous ways, including lower insurance premiums, lower emergency medical expenditures, and a switch from expensive late-stage treatments to cost-effective preventative and ambulatory care.Coverage will obviously benefit illegal immigrants, but the entire US population will also reap the rewards of a broader risk pool comprising individuals with comparatively low medical expenditures and usage trends.Extending coverage could also have important public health benefits.Ensuring treatment, especially of infectious disease, protects the health of the population as a whole, and this is particularly important considering the ease of travel and access to different parts of the globe.The public health is also served by prompt diagnosis and treatment of chronic diseases, such as heart disease and diabetes.
  Allowing illegal immigrants to stay and pretending they’re not here doesn’t work for anyone.Prohibiting inclusion of illegal immigrants in the formal healthcare system and at the same time extending piecemeal benefits, emergency rooms, and some patchwork of state and local governments is a poor way to address the intractable problem of ever increasing health care costs.The federal government should meet this challenge head-on in the form of health coverage, recognizing the benefits that could accrue to it by instituting necessary health insurance reforms.Even if immigration reform does materialize, nothing will have been lost by providing coverage in the interim.As the illegal immigrant population declines, for instance, because of fewer economic opportunities in the United States or absorption into the lawful immigrant category, the system has enough fluidity to respond.Further tweaks may be necessary, but incremental improvement is a characteristic of any public benefits scheme.What is not acceptable is to tacitly ignore the problem while setting up additional barriers to coverage.
26.What is the first paragraph mainly about?答案顯示:【B】
(A)Reasons why the health care costs are rapidly increasing. (B)Potential benefits of providing health insurance coverage to illegal immigrants. (C)Reasons why illegal immigrants should not be included in national health insurance plans. (D)How health care costs may decrease due to inclusion of illegal immigrants in national health insurance plans.
27.Which of the following arguments is supported by the author of the passage?答案顯示:【A】
(A)Given the ease of travel nowadays, including illegal immigrants in health insurance can reduce the spread of infectious diseases. (B)Illegal immigrants should be excluded from the health care system before being sent back to their countries of origin. (C)Excluding illegal immigrants from the health care insurance is an effective way to lower the nation’s health care costs. (D)It is necessary to design more rules to keep illegal immigrants from using expensive medical services in the country.
28.What does the author mean by “Further tweaks may be necessary” in the second paragraph?答案顯示:【B】
(A)More research may be needed to understand the issue further. (B)Some policy modifications may be needed in the future. (C)More funds may be needed to implement the policy. (D)Some health care benefits of the public may need to be further reduced.
29.What is the author’s opinion about the federal government’s role in health insurance?答案顯示:【C】
(A)The health insurance should be handled by the private sector. (B)Providing public health care to illegal immigrants is the local government’s business. (C)The federal government should reform the public health insurance to make it accessible to illegal immigrants. (D)The proposed health insurance reform should wait until the immigration reform is completed.
30*According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true if health insurance isprovided to illegal immigrants?答案顯示: ◣C或D◥
(A)The health insurance premiums will decrease. (B)More immigrants will have access to preventive medical treatments. (C)There will be more infectious diseases in the country. (D)More immigrants will end up in emergency rooms with critical illness.

請依下文回答第 31 題至第 35 題:
  People become vegetarians for many reasons, including health, religious convictions, concerns about animal welfare or the use of antibiotics and hormones in livestock, or a desire to eat in a way that avoids excessive use of environmental resources.Becoming a vegetarian has become more appealing and accessible, thanks to the year-round availability of fresh produce, more vegetarian dining options, and the growing culinary influence of cultures with largely plant-based diets.
  Approximately six to eight million adults in the United States eat no meat, fish, or poultry.Several million more have eliminated red meat but still eat chicken or fish.About two million have become vegans, forgoing not only animal flesh but also animal-based products such as milk, cheese, eggs, and gelatin.
  Traditionally, research into vegetarianism focused mainly on potential nutritional deficiencies, but in recent years, the pendulum has swung the other way, and studies are confirming the health benefits of meat-free eating.Nowadays, plant-based eating is recognized as not only nutritionally sufficient but also as a way to reduce the risk for many chronic illnesses.According to the American Dietetic Association, “appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases.”
  You can get many of the health benefits of being vegetarian without going all the way.For example, a Mediterranean eating pattern — known to be associated with longer life and reduced risk of several chronic illnesses — features an emphasis on plant foods with a sparing use of meat.Even if you don’t want to become a complete vegetarian, you can steer your diet in that direction with a few simple substitutions, such as plant-based sources of protein — beans or tofu, for example — or fish instead of meat a couple of times a week.Only you can decide whether a vegetarian diet is right for you.
31.What is the best title of this passage?答案顯示:【B】
(A)The Environmental Impact of Vegetarianism.(B)The Health Benefits of Plant-based Diets. (C)The Social Challenges of Being Vegans.(D)The Popularity of Meat-free Products.
32.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of the rise in vegan eating?答案顯示:【D】
(A)The steady supply of fruit and vegetables.(B)The influence of cultures with plant-based eating. (C)The protection of animal welfare and resources.(D)The wide availability of dietary supplements.
33.Which of the following is closest in meaning to “forgoing” in the second paragraph?答案顯示:【A】
(A)Abandoning(B)Transporting(C)Generating(D)Escaping.
34.What is the purpose of the third paragraph?答案顯示:【B】
(A)To explain why previous research produced negative results about vegetarianism. (B)To provide scientific evidence supporting the health effects of vegan diets. (C)To reveal the increase in the number of vegans in the American society. (D)To show how plant-based eating can be associated with certain chronic illness.
35.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?答案顯示:【C】
(A)Converting to a Mediterranean diet can reduce the risk of chronic illness. (B)Going vegan has become a way of showing personal freedom. (C)Adopting a partial vegetarian diet can still make people healthy. (D)Foods like tofu and beans provide a good source of protein for vegans.

請依下文回答第 36 題至第 40 題:
  One of the biggest ideas to hit the political world in recent years is that politics is increasingly defined by the division between open and closed, rather than left and right.Openness means support for both economic openness(welcoming immigration and free trade) and the cultural sort(embracing ethnic and sexual minorities).Closedness means the opposite.
  The most obvious problem with the open-closed theory is that the divide is so slippery.Few people support entirely open societies—it would be unreasonable to allow Ebola victims to cross borders unimpeded.By the same token, few people advocate becoming a hermit kingdom like North Korea.Nor are open and closed necessarily opposites.Having a strong border can make people more open, by giving them a sense that they can manage openness.Historically, most of the world’s great centers of commerce have been walled cities.Constantinople, the crossroads between east and west, boasted not just a formidable wall but an outer and inner harbor.
  There is a better explanation of political polarization than the open-closed split.It is the gap between exam-passers and exam-flunkers.Qualifications grant access to a world that is protected from the downside of globalization.You can get a job with a superstar company that has constructed moats and drawbridges to protect itself, or with a middle-class guild that provides job security, or with the state bureaucracy.Failing exams casts you down into an unpredictable world of cut-throat competition.
  Exam-passers combine a common ability to manage the downside of globalization with a common outlook that binds them together and legitimizes their disdain for rival tribes.Exam-flunkers, meanwhile, are united by anger at the elitists who claim to be open as long as their jobs are protected.They are increasingly willing to bring the system crashing down.Talking about open v closed is a double error.It obscures the deeper forces dividing the world, and spares winners by playing down the legitimate concerns of losers.
36.What is the main purpose of this passage?答案顯示:【A】
(A)To argue against the open-closed theory and offer a better explanation. (B)To show evidence that open and closed are not necessarily opposites. (C)To criticize the division between left and right that defines politics. (D)To make evident that political polarization is not a new phenomenon.
37.Why does the author use the phrase “by the same token” in Paragraph 2?答案顯示:【B】
(A)To imply that the example given before is to offer an opposite view. (B)To introduce an instance which is true for the same reason that was given previously. (C)To add another case which is more important than what was said and to correct it. (D)To indicate that what is said is partly true in spite of the thing that has happened.
38.Why does the gap between exam-passers and exam-flunkers offer a better explanation of political polarization than the open-closed split?答案顯示:【C】
(A)It allows access to a world that is protected from the disadvantage of globalization. (B)It guarantees jobs with superstar companies that have measures to protect themselves. (C)It reveals the deeper forces dividing the worlds and expresses the concerns of losers. (D)It provides a middle-class organization that offers security and the state bureaucracy.
39.Why does the author mention “Constantinople” in Paragraph 2?答案顯示:【D】
(A)To imply that having a strong border gives people a sense that they can be more open. (B)To make readers doubt the boast the city once made of having a formidable wall. (C)To suggest that the world’s great center of commerce was the crossroads and the harbor. (D)To question whether a walled city necessarily means closedness.
40.According to the last two paragraphs, which of the following statements is true about people failing exams?答案顯示:【A】
(A)United by anger at the elitists, they are eager to change the existing system. (B)They play down the legitimate concerns of losers and spare winners. (C)With a common outlook, they legitimize their disdain for rival tribes. (D)They are willing to be more open as long as their jobs are protected.

  In some languages, the word “roller coaster” translates as “Russian mountain.” That’s because the first roller coasters were mountains.[13]Guides would take rides up as high as 24 meters, and then slide down with them on small sleds.By the 18th century, St.Petersburg had caught on to the trend.Around the city, the ice slides were lined with colorful lanterns, enabling rides to be taken at night.Next, the pastime arrived in France, where the roller coaster was adapted to consist of wheeled carriages that traveled over metal tracks laid on steep wood slopes.
  [14]In 1895, the first vertical loop was incorporated into “The Flip Flap” in Brooklyn.One prominent omission, though, was seatbelts.The first Golden Age of roller coasters, having spread to many countries, came to an end with the Great Depression.[15]Built to the hair-raising dimensions we are familiar with today, it gave rise to a second generation of gravity-defying amusement rides.
  Today, New Jersey’s “Kingda Ka” is the tallest, fastest roller coaster on the planet; it accelerates to 128 mph in just 3.5 seconds! So, don’t go off the tracks: buckle up, and get ready to scream!

請依下文回答第 16 題至第 20 題:
  Schizophrenia is a complex, chronic, and severe brain that interferes with a person’s ability to think clearly, manage emotions, make decisions, and relate to others.Nowadays it affects approximately 1% of all adults globally.The word schizophrenia comes from the Greek word skhizein meaning “to split” and the Greek word phren meaning “heart, mind.” The Swiss psychiatrist, Eugen Bleuler(1857-1939), coined the term Schizophrenie in 1908.
  However, schizophrenia does not imply a “split personality” or “multiple personality disorder”—a condition with which it has been confused in public perception.Experts say schizophrenia is probably many illnesses masquerading as one.Research indicates that schizophrenia is likely to be the result of faulty neuronal development in the brain of the fetus, which later in life emerges as a full-blown illness.As of today there is no physical or laboratory test that can absolutely diagnose schizophrenia.Clinical diagnosis of schizophrenia is based on a person’s observed behavior and self-reported experiences.
  Symptoms of schizophrenia typically come on gradually, beginning in young adulthood and lasting a long time, and they may vary, depending on the individual.Some may hear voices that are not there.Some may be convinced that others are reading their minds, controlling how they think, or plotting against them.This can distress patients severely and persistently, making them demotivated, withdrawn, and frantic.Others may find it hard to make sense of what the patients are talking about.In some cases, they may spend hours completely still, without talking.On other occasions they may seem fine, until they start explaining what they are truly thinking.
  The effects of schizophrenia reach far beyond the patient.Families, friends, and society are affected too.A sizable proportion of people with schizophrenia have to rely on others, for they are unable to hold a job or care for themselves.
16.Which of the following titles best expresses the main idea of the passage?答案顯示:【C】
(A)Schizophrenia: Lost in the Sea of One’s Multiple Personalities. (B)Schizophrenia: Affected by Faulty Neuronal Development. (C)Schizophrenia: Caught Up between Reality and Illusion. (D)Schizophrenia: Tied Down with Failure to Manage One’s Own Life.
17.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE about schizophrenia?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Its patients mostly share common symptoms.(B)It is a special case of split personality disorder. (C)Its patients mostly can manage their own daily life. (D)It cannot be objectively diagnosed using medical tests.
18.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a symptom of schizophrenia?答案顯示:【C】
(A)False beliefs(B)Hearing voices.(C)Increasing memory loss(D)Reduced social engagement.
19.What does masquerading mean in the second paragraph?答案顯示:【B】
(A)Blowing out(B)Covering up(C)Going under(D)Putting off.
20.According to the passage, which of the following do we most likely hear from a schizophrenic patient?答案顯示:【A】
(A)I am afraid that my next-door neighbors are spying on me. (B)I believe that all my problems come from my imagination. (C)I would like to go with my husband to friends’ dinner parties. (D)I think that I need to try harder to make my dreams come true.

一、英譯中(25分)
  Negotiation is highly situational; what is effective in one context can be disastrous in another.The question of whether negotiation and bargaining will be effective as a tool in conflict resolution is also very much connected to its context.
  William Zartman, Professor Emeritus of Johns Hopkins University,postulates that we need a push and a pull in order to start any negotiation process and to create an outcome.The push is the “mutual hurting stalemate”(MHS): a status quo that is painful for all the involved parties, to the extent that they prefer a change, through negotiation, over the situation into which they are locked.At the same time there should be a perceived way out of the deadlock: the pull in the form of a “mutual enticing opportunity”(MEO).
  We should note here that not everything is negotiable, but in cases where there are structural problems instead of situational problems to be solved, we might at least hope for mutual respect, such as the(in)famous “Peaceful Coexistence” at the time of the Cold War, which might be called a “mutual beneficial stalemate”(MBS) – beneficial and satisfactory as it ensures a peaceful situation in such a way that the major powers can use the stand-off to control their own “allies.”
  Moreover, it has been suggested that it is the pre-negotiations period which “enables parties to move from conflicting perceptions and behaviors to co-operative perceptions and behaviors.” Indeed, pre-negotiations are a necessary prerequisite for successful diplomatic negotiations; “not just a definitional construct but a preparatory phase without which the negotiation would not have taken place,” Zartman cautioned.

  我國試辦菲律賓、泰國、汶萊來臺免簽至 109年7月31日,是否也對印尼、越南採取免簽措施,備受關注。交通部指出,針對大陸暫停旅客來臺自由行一事,為避免臺灣觀光業受到嚴重衝擊,研擬將開放陸客與東南亞國家民眾自第三方入境免簽。根據內政部統計,自 106年實施菲律賓國民來臺 14 天免簽措施以來,菲國來臺旅客人數增加 12 萬餘人次。此外,107年新增的 30條國際航線中,東北亞及東南亞航線超過 7 成。因此,隨著新增的航班,免簽政策可望提振觀光,並鼓勵臺灣新住民的家屬來臺探親。外交部發言人強調,政府對印尼和越南的簽證政策,正由行政院持續透過跨部會機制審慎評估中。外交部將會配合行政院之研議,除了振興觀光業之外,將確保邊境控制、國家安全和國家利益,務必在免簽政策考量上力求周詳。

  Do you often feel that “If anything can go wrong, it will go wrong”? If yes, then you are living under the influence of Murphy’s Law.
  Many people interpret this law as a pessimistic view of life.[11]the theory is a message of hope, a call to excellence.In 1949, the US Air Force was running a test to study the human tolerance for G-forces during rapid deceleration.Engineer Edward A.Murphy designed a special harness that had 16 sensors, each of which could be installed in two ways.At the end of one crucial experiment, it was found that the sensors provided a zero reading.Murphy’s assistant had installed all of them[12], with each sensor wired backwards.In a voice like thunder, the[13]engineer complained, “If there are two or more ways to do something and one of those results in a catastrophe, then someone will do it that way!” This is the original form of Murphy’s Law.Later Murphy[14]the sensors so that they could be installed in only one way.
  As Murphy’s Law spread across the world, it was taken as a principle[15]pessimism.Murphy was unhappy with this misinterpretation.The optimistic law aims to crystallize a principle: one should always assume the worst scenario when designing objects and minimize human error.

  At 20, Sarah was shy but lived a normal life.Then, when her marriage broke up a year later, she suddenly believed she was extremely ugly.“Sometimes I’d lie in bed all day because I couldn’t face the mirrors in the bathroom,” she says.“If I did go out, I’d cover my face with my hands.If I saw myself in a mirror, I’d burst into tears and run home.” After spending $35,000 in three years on cosmetic surgery, Sarah saw a television program about body dysmorphic disorder(BDD) and recognized the symptoms.She saw Dr.David Veale, an expert in BDD, and had two months in hospital and two months of daily therapy.Today, she is coping with her condition.
  BDD is an illness characterized by distorted body image—sufferers are affected by small or imagined defects in their appearance.“It’s still underdiagnosed,” says Veale.“That’s dangerous as there’s a high rate of suicide with it.” The condition affects one in 100 people, and some experts believe the number of sufferers is growing fast, thanks to the increasing emphasis on physical perfection in society and the media.It often starts in teenage years and can be triggered by stress, extreme teasing, or sexual abuse.
  It affects as many men as women, particularly those who are sensitive, perfectionist or work in an artistic field.It can take the form of a general feeling of ugliness or can focus on a particular body part, most commonly the face.Sufferers may do everything they can to hide their “flaw” and can develop obsessive rituals such as checking their appearance, adjusting their hair, or measuring the hated body part.They can become addicted to cosmetic surgery or weightlifting.
  Once established, BDD causes a change in the brain chemistry, particularly of the neurotransmitter serotonin, which regulates happiness and satisfaction.The most effective treatment seems to be a combination of cognitive therapy and a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor drug, such as Prozac
21.What is this passage mainly about?答案顯示:【C】
(A)Medical treatments of BDD(B)How to deal with BDD. (C)Obsession with feeling ugly(D)Sarah and her unhappy marriage.

23.Why is the word “flaw” in the third paragraph put in quotation marks(“ ”)?答案顯示:【B】
(A)To emphasize the idea of physical imperfection. (B)To indicate that the defect may be imagined rather than real. (C)To show how BDD causes a change in the brain chemistry. (D)To explain why people with BDD develop obsessive rituals.
24.What is a person affected by BDD least likely to do?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Think that their whole body is ugly.(B)Turn to excessive exercise to look fit. (C)Look in the mirror frequently to see how they look.(D)Measure the body part that they find adorable.
25.Which of the following statements about BDD is NOT true?答案顯示:【C】
(A)Men and women alike suffer from it.(B)The media may play a part in causing it. (C)It is fatal because there is no effective way to cure it. (D)Artists are more likely to be affected by it than other people.

請依下文回答第 26 題至第 30 題:
  More than half of India’s population lives in villages.Gandhi had said, “the real India lives in villages.” Rustic simplicity and natural beauty is emblematic of Indian culture and heritage.
  Lives of most people in villages mostly depend on agriculture.Some people earn their living from animal husbandry and agro-based cottage industries.Most of the villagers are farmers.They are hardworking, unassuming and generous.When farmers plough their fields in the morning sun, the chirping of birds that accompanies the movement of the oxen seems to hum a melody of hard work.Farmers are innocent by nature unlike some of their urban counterparts who lose their inner goodness in the cut-throat world of materialism in cities.
  Life in urban India is marked by wide-ranging disparity.There are residents who have unlimited means of enjoyment but some people are so poor that they have to live in slums.Economic inequality,pollution and garbage are the bane of urban existence.People also have to face lack of adequate water supply.Yet people want to live in cities because they get facilities for good education, healthcare,transport and so many modes of comforts and entertainment.There are also good opportunities for employment in cities unlike villages where very few people are gainfully employed.
  City life is a boon in many ways, but on the other hand it is also a curse.Every year the population of cities is growing by leaps and bounds, increasing pressure on their infrastructure and reducing life to a dehumanised rat race.
  Thus, life in villages and in cities presents two contrasting pictures.There are positive as well as negative aspects to the both and it is up to the individuals to make the most of it irrespective of the rural or urban setting that one lives in.

(A)People have a less tendency to consider material possessions. (B)There is no need to worry about water supply because of adequate rainfall. (C)The population increases at a slow pace due to a dehumanised rat race. (D)People are deprived of positive human qualities by the pressure of urban life.
29.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?答案顯示:【B】
(A)People in villages have an inclination to materialism. (B)People in urban India have higher educational standards. (C)There are more problems in the villages than those in the city. (D)People in villages yearn for living in the countryside.

請依下文回答第 31 題至第 35 題:
  Mada’in Saleh was known as Hegra by the Nabataean people who carved its magnificent tombs into the golden Quweira sandstone outcrops.They were also known for their incredible familiarity with the desert and their ability to fade into it to evade enemy tribes.Their system of hidden cisterns dug deep in the interior provided water for their livestock and their people.The real cause of the success of the Nabataeans, however, was control over much of the spice trade.Many spices from southern Arabia were brought up to the north along trade routes to be purchased by people around the Mediterranean and in the Near East.
  The details on the entrance portals and the smooth surfaces of its 111 tomb façades reflect the great skills of the masons of the Nabataeans’ time.The splendor of the natural setting here must have reminded the Nabataeans of their capital, Petra.It is no wonder that they chose this very spot to build their second city, Hegra, because it was a crossroads where the major north-south incense route intersected a road from the Red Sea to the Persian Gulf.
  The ruins of the town of Hegra lie on the plain some distance from their tombs.The buildings, still for the most part unexcavated, were made of unimpressive sun-dried mudbrick.What is known about Hegra comes primarily from the tombs, the many inscriptions carved into their façades, and references found elsewhere.The tomb façades are finely carved and fairly uniform in their style.A portal in the center of the façade provides the entrance to the tomb.Inside are recesses carved into the walls where the bodies of the deceased were placed.
31.What is this passage mainly about?答案顯示:【B】
(A)How the Nabataeans sold spices in ancient times. (B)How the ruins of Hegra reveal the Nabataeans’ lives. (C)How people made a living in the desert.(D)How the Nabataeans carved their tombs.
32.According to the passage, what is Mada’in Saleh?答案顯示:【A】
(A)An ancient city(B)An ancient tomb(C)A tribe(D)A capital.
33.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?答案顯示:【D】
(A)The inside and outside of the Nabataean people’s tombs were both finely carved. (B)The ruins of the town of Hegra are close to Petra. (C)The Nabataeans excelled in the spice trade only. (D)The Nabataeans knew how to use desert to avoid enemies.

  Communication is of basic importance within science itself.I think we would all agree that free communication is essential for progress in science,[11]there have been problems at the frontier with technology because in the world of commerce you cannot reveal everything you are doing.These frontier problems have been[12]in recent times; in many fields, my own of molecular biology[13], the old openness has to some extent disappeared.Some of my younger colleagues do not want to talk in public about their work, because they think that if they speak about their own “secret,” somebody else will[14]it and make money out of it.Of course, this is only a partial view: science is also for the benefit of mankind.But the process of[15]knowledge from the academic world, with its tradition of openness, to the world of technology and commerce does present difficulties that have still not been resolved.In my view they are very serious problems.

  The concept of money laundering regulations goes back to ancient times and is intertwined with the development of money and banking.Money laundering is first seen with individuals hiding wealth from the government to avoid taxation or confiscation or a combination of both.Nowadays it has evolved into a complex and highly technical process of transforming profits from illegal activities into[16]“legitimate”assets without raising the suspicion of law enforcement agencies.After money has been suitably laundered or “cleaned,” it can be used in the mainstream economy for accumulation of wealth, such as acquisitions of properties, or otherwise spent.
  Many governments around the world have become increasingly[17]in their efforts to combat money laundering by passing anti-money-laundering regulations.These regulations require financial institutions to have systems in place to detect and report suspected money-laundering activities.Accordingly,law enforcement agencies of many jurisdictions have set up sophisticated systems in an effort to detect suspicious transactions or activities, and many have set up international cooperative arrangements to assist each other in these[18].
  However, the use of the Internet allows money launderers to easily[19]detection.The rise of online banking institutions, anonymous online payment services, peer-to-peer transfers using mobile phones, and the use of virtual currencies such as Bitcoin have made detecting the illegal transfer of money even more difficult.Money can also be laundered through online auctions and sales, gambling websites, and even virtual gaming sites, where ill-gotten money is converted into gaming currency, then transferred back into real,usable, and[20]“clean” money.
  As money launderers attempt to keep one step ahead of law enforcement, international organizations and governments are continuing their team effort to find new ways to detect them.

依下文回答第21題至第25題
  Culture is a word that everyone is familiar with, but its precise meaning can be elusive.A useful definition by noted social scientist Geert Hofstede is that culture consists of shared mental programs that condition individuals’ responses to their environment.There are three levels involved in the mental programing: The deepest level--human nature--is based on common biological reactions, such as sex, drive,hunger and territoriality that all members of the human race have in common, even though they come from different cultures.The middle level--culture--is based on common experiences that we share with a particular group of our fellows.Cultural values, attitudes and assumptions about proper behavior give us something in common with a definable group of others, but not with all of them.The group may be a very large one, such
  as a national population, i.e.Japanese culture; or a very small one, i.e.the culture of the committee of a local parent-teacher association.The shallowest level--personality--is based on the specific genetic makeup and personal experiences that make each of us a unique individual.For example, we may be sociable or introverted, aggressive or submissive, and emotional or stable.We all have many behaviors and understandings that are quite different from those of others, even though we come from the same culture.Culture also has the following basic characteristics.First, culture is mental programming that a group has in common that is not normally available to people outside the group.Second, the mental programing of a group is learned by its members over long periods as they interact with the environment and with each other.Third, the mental programming involved is strong.People have a hard time escaping their culture even when they want to.Fourth, culture is not random as it is a system of values, attitudes, beliefs, and meanings that are related to each other and to the context.Last, much of culture is concealed.Besides immediate surface behaviors, such as body language, and physical artifacts like art, culture also involves the underlying values, social structures, and ways of thinking.
21.What is the main purpose of the passage?答案顯示:【A】
(A)To explain what culture means.(B)To describe how culture may develop. (C)To explicate what values culture may have.(D)To discuss what potential effects culture may exert.
22.Which of the following words is closest in meaning to “concealed” in the passage?答案顯示:【B】
(A)private(B)invisible(C)mystical(D)confusing
23.According to the passage, which of the following may NOT be true?答案顯示:【C】
(A)The middle level of mental programing is specific to groups. (B)The deepest level of mental programing is universal and biological. (C)The shallowest level of mental programing is shared by all individuals of the same culture. (D)The surface features of individuals’ behaviors are often manifestations of mental programing.
24.According to the passage, which of the following is correct about the features of culture?答案顯示:【B】
(A)Culture is largely manifest.(B)Culture is learned and enduring. (C)Culture exerts mild influence on behavior.(D)Culture is a random assortment of customs and behaviors.
25.According to the passage, why may it be insufficient to observe only social behaviors if one wants to fully understand cultures?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Because social behaviors are transient.(B)Because social behaviors are too versatile. (C)Because social behaviors are not observable. (D)Because social behaviors only portray a small portion of cultures.

  Five Swedish designers have worked with artisans in Taiwan to explore different lacquer techniques, and presented their works in an exhibition –“A New Layer.” The exhibition shows contemporary objects made with an ancient technique.Lacquer has been used in East Asia for over 7000 years and encompasses a variety of techniques and applications.The title “A New Layer” refers to how the lacquer is applied in several layers until the desired surface sheen occurs.
  Historically, China and Japan have been the primary regions for the development of the lacquer art form.Artisans have not only mastered a single method, but developed a variety of ways in which the coating is used, both as a functional and a decorative material.Despite the long history of craftsmanship, it is not tied to tradition but is constantly changing.
  Taiwan is a geographical and cultural crossroads for China and Japan but also a region with influences from Southeast Asia and Polynesia.This variegated culture is visible in Taiwan's craft traditions and has significantly colored the material that appears in “A New Layer.” The exhibition shows a broad palette of materials such as ceramics, wood, metal, wicker bamboo, fabric, pearl and stone, all of it accompanied by lacquer work applied on the objects in various ways.
  “A New Layer” is a collaboration between the designers Carina Seth Andersson, Matti Klenell, Stina Löfgren, Gabriella Gustafson, Mattias Ståhlbom, National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Institute(NTCRI)and the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities.

Car makers, airline owners, and the planners of mass transit systems all share a common goal.They are trying to provide us with faster and faster ways to reach our destinations.
  Nonetheless, many of us actually want to slow down.Although we complain when our plane isn’t on schedule or when we have to wait in a traffic jam, we also complain about always being in a hurry.Every once in a while, we think of the sound of a train whistle – clear and high in the air – we feel sad.There is a strong sense of nostalgia for other places and other times, when life was slower and, perhaps, better.
  Why does a train whistle bring on a feeling of nostalgia?Perhaps it’s because many of us remember a favorite novel or movie that took place on a train, and the story told of danger and excitement.There’s a sense of romance about a train that simply doesn’t exist on a modern jet plane.Several railroad companies are taking advantage of the nostalgia for train travel: They are offering unique tours for travelers who aren’t in a hurry and who enjoy the romance of the past.

  First there were selfies.Then there were selfie sticks.Now comes a new phase: selfie booths, which some stores are providing as a sort of next-generation photo kiosks.In the age of ubiquitous social media, these booths and rooms seem to be the latest way to attract customers and build a brand.
  At several stores of the optical company Warby Parker, customers unsure if those spectacle frames really fit them can jump into the on-site selfie booth, snap off some images and email them to friends and family for a second opinion.At Doomie′s, a vegetarian restaurant in Toronto, there is a dedicated selfie room where persons stand in front of a mirror, take a photo and post it to social media, often with a caption like ″just emerged from my food coma.″
  When they were planning the restaurant, Doomie′s owners wanted clever ways to promote it and differentiate it.They noticed younger people always want something on Facebook or the like.The restaurant had an unused basement room, so they painted the floor white and had the walls prepared in cartoons.Now at least half the restaurant′s first-timers under the age of 35 visit the selfie room.On evenings when there is a wait for the table, patrons sometimes pass the time posing and posting.
  When the restaurant was launched, it was covered by CBC and other news outlets just for the selfie room, and it was a hot talking point on social media.The selfie room surely helps Doomie′s business.
  While places like Doomie's in Toronto are setting aside designated areas for people to take pictures with their own smartphones, other businesses are installing booths designed to take superior selfies.Selfie lovers know that pictures taken in specially lit booths come out far better than a cellphone snapshot.
71.What might be the best title for the passage?答案顯示:【C】

74.What business is Warby Parker in?答案顯示:【D】

  Touching
  Anthropologists tell us that each of us walks around inside “bubbles of personal space.” The size of the bubble represents our personal territory, territorial imperative, or “personal buffer zone.” We neither like nor tolerate it when someone invades our bubble.As we travel to different places around the world, we learn that some cultural bubbles are larger or smaller than others.The American “bubble” extends about 12 to 15 inches, and so we may stand a combined 24 to 30 inches apart.Scientists point out this just happens to be an arm’s length away.One could stretch out his arm and put his thumb in the other person’s ear.
  Orientals, and especially the Japanese, stand even farther apart, anthropologist George Renwick adds.When it comes to ordinary business or social situations, they have the largest bubbles of all.However, in their own public settings, where crowding is impossible to avoid, they accept body contact or just seem to ignore it, “touching without feeling.”
  Latins and Middle Easterners, on the other hand, stand much closer than Americans.They may stand, literally, toe-to-toe.They may even place a hand on the other’s forearm or elbow, or even finger the lapel of the other person.
  However, touch codes are changing all over the world.In the United States, politicians have learned the value of touch.They frequently give two-handed handshakes, casually touch the elbow of another, or lightly touch the back of the person standing next to them.“Pressing flesh” has become a byword on political campaigns.Also, Japanese managers posted in the U.S.factories are steeling themselves and learning to accept finger-crunching handshakes, back patting, and maybe even a friendly arm around the shoulders for the softball team photo.
76.What does “bubble” mean in the passage?答案顯示:【C】
(A)the balloon in public settings (C)the physical distance between people (B)the toy for social situations(D)the territory of anthropologists
77.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?答案顯示:【A】
(A)Japanese people tend to stand far apart from each other.(B)Japanese people like to have large bubbles. (C)Japanese people like crowded situations so that they can touch others. (D)Japanese would attack people when their territory get invaded.
78.According to the passage, what kind of people may have the smallest “bubbles”?答案顯示:【B】
(A)The British(B)Arabs(C)Taiwanese(D)Americans
79.What does “pressing flesh” mean?答案顯示:【D】
(A)pushing people(C)making friends(B)talking to people(D)shaking hands with people
80.According to paragraph 4, which of the following statements is NOT true?答案顯示:【A】
(A)Latins start to keep farther apart from each other. (B)Japanese sales may pat people on the back when in U.S. (C)American politicians use firm, strong handshakes to connect to people. (D)Japanese may put their arms around athletes’ shoulders when taking photos.

  Price elasticity of demand(PED)is a measure used in economics to show the relationship between a change in the quantity demanded of a particular good or service and a change in its price.More[16], it gives the percentage change in quantity demanded in response to a one percent change in price.
  PED is often used when discussing price sensitivity in economics.In general, the demand for a good is said to be elastic, or[17]price changes,when its PED is greater than one.That is, changes in price have a relatively large effect on the quantity of a good demanded.[18], the demand for a good is said to be inelastic when the PED is less than one.In such cases, a large change in price is accompanied by a small amount of change in quantity demanded.
  Price elasticities are almost always negative, although analysts tend to ignore the sign even though this can lead to ambiguity.According to the law of demand, when price goes up, demand goes down and vice versa.Thus, only goods which do not[19]the law of demand, such as Veblen goods for their exclusive nature and appeal as a status symbol, have a positive PED.
  A firm’s revenue is maximized when price is set so that the PED is exactly one.Therefore, knowing PED helps the firm decide whether to raise, lower, or[20]price, which would require the firm to charge consumers different prices for the same product.Typically, if demand is elastic, revenue is gained by reducing price, but if demand is inelastic, revenue is gained by raising price.

請依下文回答第 21 題至第 25 題
  Kraken, a 17-year-old rollercoaster at SeaWorld Orlando, an amusement park in Florida, reopened recently after several months of refurbishment.That, in itself, is unusual.The normal fate of old rides is demolition and replacement by new ones offering fresh thrills.More unusual still is that Kraken, though it had not undergone any physical upgrade during its refurbishment, had customers queuing eagerly to get on it as though it were a brand new offering.
  SeaWorld Orlando is the latest in a string of parks to turn to virtual reality(VR) to recycle rollercoasters of days past.In the case of Kraken, the rider wears a headset that takes him on an underwater journey which matches the coaster’s movements, dodging prehistoric sea creatures such as pliosaurs, careering down into an underwater canyon,and straining to escape the clutches of the terrible, tentacled monster after which the ride is named.
  Building a new ride is pricy, even for a big attraction like SeaWorld.For small parks, with low budgets, it can be an existential bet.VR, though, has given parks an opportunity to breathe new life into old rides, saving money as they do so.Adding VR to a rollercoaster does, however, present challenges beyond those involved when the headset wearer is either stationary or using his own muscles to move around.Matching what is seen with the sensation of movement is crucial.Get it wrong and the result is nausea.Yet, when executed properly, the pairing of rollercoasters and VR, two things that can both, by themselves, be nauseating experiences, actually helps reduce the risk of sickness.
  The VR augmentation of rides is unlikely to remain limited to rollercoasters.Six Flags, one of the world’s biggest amusement-park companies, is experimenting with adding VR to drop towers—devices in which the rider experiences several seconds of free-fall before being decelerated for a safe landing.Park visitors, then, should expect to don more headsets when they strap in for their favorite rides.
21.Which of following statements about Kraken can we infer from the first paragraph?答案顯示:【A】
(A)Kraken is endowed with a new purpose even without any structural change. (B)Kraken is an attracation which can not be easily found in a typical traditional amusement park. (C)Kraken reopened because it is the only rollercoaster in the amusement park. (D)Kraken has better potential for a longer life because it offers free tickets.
22.According to the passage, where does the name "Kraken" come from?答案顯示:【B】
(A)An underwater canyon.(B)A tentacled monster.(C)A rollercoaster designer.(D)A 17-year-old Floridian.
23.According to the passage, which of the following can reduce the risk of sickness when riding Kraken?答案顯示:【C】
(A)The coaster's creating his own nauseating experiences. (B)The coaster's remaining seated still and not moving around. (C)The coaster's movements matching with the headset's image. (D)The coaster's keeping his headset firmly on his head.
24.What does the word "pricy" mean in the third paragraph?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Vain(B)Grim(C)Lush(D)Costly.
25.What does the third paragraph suggest about adding VR to a rollercoaster?答案顯示:【A】
(A)VR can revive a rollercoaster but it calls for challenges as well. (B)VR paves the way for the survival of small amusement parks. (C)VR, when executed properly, increases the rollercoaster’s sensation. (D)VR has become a trend for a big amusement park like SeaWorld.

  Scientists in the United States are planning to create lie-detection software for emails and text messages.The new software is being developed by a team led by Jeff Hancock at Cornell University in New York State."We asked people to come into the labs and write lies and we had other people come in and write the truth," says Hancock."Using this method, we've developed a database of tens of thousands of emails.”
  The scientists have analyzed the data and identified a number of methods to predict whether or not a person is lying.One of the most important methods is the length of a message.Lying emails have, on average, 28% more words than truthful messages.Another method is the overuse of sense words, such as "see," "feel," and "touch." "When you're lying, you want the other person to believe you, so you give more details," says Hancock.
  Liars also tend to use pronouns like "we" and "they" rather than "I" as a way of distancing themselves from a lie because they feel guilty."People often use negative emotional words too, because they feel uncomfortable when they're lying," says Hancock."So they will use terms like "sad," "angry," "unhappy" and "stressed."
  Previous research has shown that up to one third of communications at work involve lying of some sort.The most common workplace lie is pretending to be sick to avoid going to work.
  But Peter Collett, a psychologist who has written a book on lying, is skeptical about Hancock's work."You can see if somebody is lying by looking at their body language, how fast they talk, and how they speak," he says."How can a computer program see all this?They've clearly done a lot of research, but with emails all you have is words."
21.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?答案顯示:【A】
(A)New Computer Software to Catch Lying Emails(B)New Computer Software to Analyze Vocabulary (C)New Computer Software to Warn People Not to Lie(D)New Computer Software to Help Conduct Research
22.Which of the following statements is true about Hancock's experiment?答案顯示:【B】
(A)The same group of people were asked to come into the labs to write both lies and the truth. (B)The scientists are developing some methods to detect if a person is lying in emails. (C)The scientists took advantage of previous database of numerous emails. (D)His experiment found around 28% of communications at work were lies.
23.According to the passage, which of the following signs could appear in lying emails?答案顯示:【D】
(A)fewer pronouns in a message(B)being poorly written with grammatical errors (C)containing an unexpected zip file(D)more words in a message
24.Why does the psychologist Peter Collett disagree on Hancock's method?答案顯示:【B】
(A)Because he believes that body language can detect lies. (B)Because he is unconvinced that computers can detect lies. (C)Because his published book proves Hancock's experiment wrong. (D)Because he doubts that the speed of talking can be a better indicator.
25.According to Hancock, which of the following words is NOT likely to be found in a lying email?答案顯示:【D】
(A)irritated(B)grieved(C)anxious(D)blessed

  When people talk about Concorde, they tend to describe it the way one might describe Princess Diana: charming, elegant, and classic.The retired supersonic passenger airliner, still[31]a remarkable achievement of the engineering, first entered service in 1976.It had the most powerful and efficient engines at supersonic speeds.During flight, it would stretch between 6 and 10 inches from its normal length,[32]the heating of the airframe.A special white paint was thus used to help reflect and radiate the heat.
  Concorde used to fly regularly from London and Paris to New York and Washington.It flew these routes in[33]half the time of other airlines.A trip from London to New York with Concorde took nearly three hours and thirty minutes as opposed to eight hours with Boeing 777 or Airbus 330.That is to say, it was not[34]for business people to take a day trip to New York and return home in London before pubs closed.With only 20 aircraft built,[35], Concorde was not a success in terms of economic profit.After the aircraft’s only crash in 2000 and the 911 terrorist attack in 2001, Concorde was retired in 2003, bringing to an end the era of supersonic passenger transportation.

  Marianne Moore(1887-1972)once said that her writing could be called poetry only because there was no other name for it.Indeed her poems appear to be extremely compressed essays that happen to be printed in jagged lines onthe page.Her subjects were varied: animals, laborers, artists, and the craft of poetry.From her general reading came quotations that she found striking or insightful.She included these in her poems, scrupulously enclosed in quotationmarks and sometimes identified in footnotes.Of this practice, she wrote, “‘Why the many quotation marks?’ I am asked...when a thing has been said so well that it could not be said better, why paraphrase it?Hence my writing is, if not a cabinet of fossils, a kind of collection of flies in amber.” Close observation and consentration on detail are themethods of her poetry.
  Marianne Moore grew up in Kirkwood, Missouri, near St.Louis.After graduation from Bryn Mawr College in 1909, she taught commercial subjects at the Indian school in Carlisle, Pennsylvannia.Later, she became a librarian inNew York City.During the 1920’s, she was editor of The Dial, an important literary magazine of the period.She lived quietly all her life, mostly in Brooklyn, New York.She spent a lot of time at the Bronx Zoo, fascinated by animals.Her admiration of the Brooklyn Dodgers—before the team moved to Los Angeles—was widely known.
  Her first book of poems was published in London in 1921 by a group of friends associated with the imagist movement.From that time on, her poetry has been read with interest by succeeding generations of poets and readers.In 1952, she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for her Collected Poems.She wrote that she did not write poetry “for moneyor fame.To earn a living is needful, but it can be done in routine ways.One writes because one has a burning desire to objectify what is indispensable to one’s happiness to express....”

  Saffron is known as the most expensive spice in the world.Prices vary depending on the quality as well as species.High-quality saffron can sell for as much as $ 6,000 per pound.The value of saffron results from its rarity and the intense labor[31]to harvest it.It takes 80,000 flowers to produce a pound of saffron.The harvest time is in autumn, and the process has to be carried out by hand.
  The history of saffron traces back to 4,000 years ago in Iran,[32]the spice was commonly used in the cuisines for the royal family.In the tenth century the cultivation of saffron was introduced to Spain by the Arabs.It is said that saffron was brought to Great Britain during the middle age by a pilgrim who hid a bulb of saffron in his stick and travelled from Middle East to Walden, a town 18 miles south of Cambridge.[33]the town’s favorable soil and climate, saffron was widely grown there and gave prosperity to the town.Today most saffron comes from Iran, India,Turkey, Spain, Morocco, and Greece, among which Iran is responsible for 90% of the production worldwide.
  From ancient times saffron has been used in cooking and medicine.It is regarded as a(n)[34]ingredient for many regional specialties, including Spanish paella, Italian risotto, Saudi-Arabian coffee and tea, Indian curry, and Swedish saffron bread.Furthermore, this spice is used to treat diabetes, asthma, cough, kidney disorders, and skin diseases.It is also believed to be able to[35]the level of blood cholesterol and to prevent cancer.

  Lawrence R.Herkimer(October 14, 1925 – July 1, 2015)was an American innovator in the field of cheerleading.He created the widely used Herkie cheerleading jump, which was named after him, and received a patent for the pom-pom, which has become a staple of cheerleading.Herkimer was known as the grandfather of modern cheerleading and often called Mr.Cheerleader.
  Herkimer had been a scholarship student and head cheerleader at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.As a cheerleader, he developed what became known as the Herkie by accident while intending to perform a split jump.The move features one arm extended straight up in the air and the other on one’s hip, with one leg extended straight out, and the other bent back.At Southern Methodist, he formed a national organization for cheerleaders and created a cheerleading-oriented magazine called Megaphone.
  After graduating from Southern Methodist in 1948, Herkimer started his first cheerleading camp at Sam Houston State Teachers College with 52 girls and one boy with $600 borrowed from a friend of his father-in-law’s.By the following year, enrollment had grown to 350 participants.Shortly thereafter, he was making more money from his summer programs than he was teaching the remainder of the year at Southern Methodist, so he gave up teaching and took up the cheerleading business full time.His camps had as many as 1,500 instructors teaching tens of thousands of students nationwide each summer, and his Cheerleader Supply Company was successfully retailing skirts and sweaters for cheerleading squads.
  As part of an effort to provide a visually appealing device for cheerleaders, given the advent of color television, Herkimer created the pom-pon with a hidden handle and was granted patent $3,560,313 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office in 1971.He chose the name “Pom pon” after hearing that the word “pompom” had vulgar meanings in other languages.
  While cheerleading at scholastic sports events dates back to the 19th century, Herkimer boasted that he took it “from the raccoon coat and pennant to greater heights,” especially after World War II, when more women began enrolling in the nation’s colleges.“I feel we have a recession-proof business,” he said in 1990.“If times get bad, a father would sell the boat before he would tell his daughter she can’t have pompons and her cheerleading sweater.” By the time he sold his various cheerleading enterprises in 1986 for an estimated $20 million, he was considered the undisputed pacesetter of the cheerleading business.
36.What is this passage mainly about?答案顯示:【B】
(A)Herkimer’s success as a college teacher.(B)Herkimer’s contributions to cheerleading. (C)How Herkimer made cheerleading into an annual event. (D)How Herkimer built a million-dollar cheerleading organization.
37.How many people attended Herkimer’s cheerleading camp in 1948?答案顯示:【B】
(A)52(B)53(C)350(D)1500
38.According to the passage, which of the following was NOT created by Lawrence R.Herkimer?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Megaphone(B)Pom-pom(C)The Herkie jump(D)The cheerleader skirt
39.What did Herkimer try to describe by using the phrase “from the raccoon coat to pennant to greater heights”?答案顯示:【D】
(A)His pompom patent.(B)His cheerleading jumps. (C)His cheerleading profits.(D)His contribution to cheerleading.
40.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?答案顯示:【B】
(A)Before World War II, women were not allowed to join cheerleading squads. (B)Herkimer was teaching at a university when he started his cheerleading camp. (C)When performing the Herkie jump, one has to put his two arms up in the air. (D)Herkimer used “pom-pon” instead of “pom-pom” due to some TV producers.

  One azure morning in December, Laura Cozzolino arrived at her corner cafe in central Naples and ordered her usual: a dense espresso, which arrived steaming hot on the dark marble counter.She lingered over the aroma, and then knocked it back in two quick sips.But instead of paying for one coffee, she paid for two, leaving the receipt for the other — a caffè sospeso, or suspended coffee — with the bartender for a stranger to enjoy.
  The suspended coffee is a Neapolitan tradition that boomed during World War II and has found a revival in recent years during hard economic times.From Naples, by word of mouth and via the Internet, the gesture has spread throughout Italy and around the world, to coffee bars as far-flung as Sweden and Brazil.In some places in Italy, the generosity now extends to the suspended pizza or sandwich, or even books.
  Naples is a city well known for its grit, beauty, chaos and crime.Despite those things, or perhaps because of them, its people are also famous for their solidarity in the face of hardship.With its rich diversity of neighborhoods, coffee bars in Naples hold a special place as gathering points for all: senators, families with grandchildren, street artists, businessmen and beggars.
  No one here seems to know precisely when or how the suspended coffee began.But that it started here speaks to the small kindnesses that Italians are known for — and also of the special place that coffee occupies in the culture.In a time of hardship, Italians can lack many things, but their coffee is not one of them.So it may be the most common item left at many cafes, as a gift, for people too poor to pay.
  “Coffee consumption predated the unification of Italy by more than 200 years, so the rituals and traditions around it are very ancient,” Andrea Illy, chairman of Illy, said in a phone interview.“In Naples, coffee is a world in itself, both culturally and socially.Coffee is a ritual carried out in solidarity.” That solidarity is spreading.In 2010, an ensemble of small Italian cultural festivals gave form to the tradition of generosity by creating the Suspended Coffee Network.
  The purpose was to weather the severe cuts to the state cultural budgets by organizing and promoting their own activities together.But it also started solidarity initiatives for those in need.Encouraging a donated coffee was one of them.Now, across Italy, the bars that have joined the network display the suspended coffee label — a black and brown sticker with a white espresso cup — in their windows.
  “To me,” said a bartender, “The philosophy of the suspended coffee is that you are happy today, and you give a coffee to the world, as a present.”
41.What is the main idea of this passage?答案顯示:【A】
(A)A heartwarming tradition and its practice..(B)A recipe for making good coffee. (C)The folklore and geography of a city(D)A moral lesson about generosity.
42.What is true about Laura Cozzolino in the cafe?答案顯示:【B】
(A)She examined the color of the expresso and gave it back to the bartender. (B)She relished the wonderful smell of the expresso and drank it quickly. (C)She associated the expresso with something else and lost in her memory. (D)She felt energetic and knocked on the counter twice.
43.What does the word “weather” in the passage mean?答案顯示:【B】
(A)To recover from a serious damage.(B)To manage through a difficult situation. (C)To prevent something from happening.(D)To result in a disaster.
44.According to the passage, why is coffee so important to people in Naples ?答案顯示:【B】
(A)Coffee is very difficult to get during hard times. (B)Coffee is a cultural and social ritual bringing people together. (C)Coffee is necessary when they eat pizza and sandwich. (D)Coffee has made all people in Naples equal, rich or poor.
45.According to the passage, which of the following statements about “suspended coffee” is true?答案顯示:【D】
(A)It is mostly on the house; therefore, it’s free.(B)It is available in every coffee shop in Naples. (C)It is deposited by the customer to save trouble next time.(D)It is coffee donated for strangers.

  Umbilical cord blood was once discarded as waste material but is now known to be a useful source of blood stem cells.After a baby is born, cord blood is left in the umbilical cord and placenta.It is easy to collect, with no risk to the mother or baby.It contains haematopoietic(blood)stem cells: rare cells normally found in the bone marrow.Haematopoietic stem cells(HSCs)can make every type of cell in the blood – red cells, white cells and platelets.They have been used for many years in bone marrow transplants to treat blood diseases.
  Cord blood is used to treat children with cancerous blood disorders such as leukemia, or genetic blood diseases like Fanconi anemia.The cord blood is transplanted into the patient, where the HSCs can make new, healthy blood cells to replace those damaged by the patient’s disease or by a medical treatment such as chemotherapy for cancer.In this way, cord blood offers a useful alternative to bone marrow transplants for some patients.It also seems to be less likely than bone marrow to cause immune rejection or complications such as Graft versus Host Disease.
  However, cord blood transplants also have limitations.Treatment of adults with cord blood has so far proved to be very challenging, despite some successes.Cord blood can also only be used to treat blood diseases.No therapies for non-blood-related diseases have yet been developed using HSCs from either cord blood or adult bone marrow.A major limitation of cord blood transplantation is that the blood obtained from a single umbilical cord does not contain as many haematopoeitic stem cells as a bone marrow donation.A transplant containing too few HSCs may fail or could lead to slow formation of new blood in the body in the early days after transplantation.This has been partially overcome by transplanting blood from two umbilical cords into larger children and adults.Some researchers have also tried to increase the total number of HSCs obtained from each umbilical cord by collecting additional blood from the placenta.Much research is focused on trying to increase the number of HSCs that can be obtained from one cord blood sample by growing and multiplying the cells in the laboratory.This is known as “ex vivo expansion”.Several preliminary clinical trials using this technique are underway.The results so far are mixed: some results suggest that ex vivo expansion reduces the time taken for new blood cells to appear in the body after transplantation; however, adult patients still appear to need blood from two umbilical cords.Neither solution is entirely satisfactory.
46.What is the main idea of this passage?答案顯示:【B】
(A)Cord blood is a panacea that can cure all diseases. (B)Cord blood has a good application but it also has limitations. (C)Cord blood treatment is only applicable to children. (D)Cord blood is much easier and safer to collect than bone marrow.
47.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about the feature of umbilical cord blood?答案顯示:【D】
(A)It is collected during the delivery process.(C)It can cure children’s blood-related diseases. (B)It causes less immune rejection than bone marrow.(D)It is the by-product of chemotherapy for cancer.
48.According to the author, what is the main problem about the cord blood transplants on adult patients?答案顯示:【B】
(A)Adults tend to have stronger immune rejection complications. (B)HSCs in cord blood is inadequate for the treatment of adults. (C)A baby’s cord blood is effective only for his or her parents. (D)HSCs in cord blood will be killed in “ex vivo expansion.”
49.When the scientists apply the cord blood treatment to adults patients, which of the following procedure is true?答案顯示:【C】
(A)They use only part of the cord blood.(B)They collect all blood cells from the womb. (C)They cultivate stem cells in the laboratory. (D)They give up on test on chemotherapy for cancer.
50.Where is the passage most likely taken from?答案顯示:【C】
(A)Fashion magazine(B)Journal of Physics(C)Popular Science Column(D)Sightseeing booklet

  While Gross Domestic Product(GDP), the economist’s term for the total value of goods and services produced by a country every year, indicates a nation’s wealth, Gross National Happiness(GNH) reflects the happiness of a nation.Guided by the “four pillars of Gross National Happiness”-sustainable development, environmental protection,cultural preservation, and good government-Bhutan has pulled itself out of terrible poverty without exploiting its natural resources.
  The country went through a series of reformation.Among the reforms of 1999, Bhutan granted its citizens access to TV-the last country on earth to do so.Some Bhutanese started to go online in the same year.Next came the daring final step of its experiment: the move to democracy.In 2006, abolishing much of his own power, the king set up a democratic government, betting his country’s future on its success.
  Now, nearly three quarters of the country is still forested, with more than 25 percent designated as national parks and other protected areas-among the highest percentages in the world.Rates of illiteracy and infant mortality have fallen dramatically, and the economy is booming.Despite upcoming challenges, Bhutan seems to be a nation with high GNH.

  It is hard to imagine that the aches and pains that most people know as flu could mutate into a superflu that might kill tens of millions of people within two years.And yet, if superflu strikes-as it has done three times in the past century-that is what may well happen.In the global influenza pandemic of 1918, 25-50 million people died.Many scientists believe that another influenza pandemic is inevitable some time soon.These concerns might be little more than another background worry if it were not for the fact that there is currently a strain of bird flu in widespread circulation to which humans have no natural immunity.This strain has killed more than 60 people so far, about half the number infected.Small pockets of human-to-human transmission have already been seen, and health officials are worried that the widespread geographical extent of bird flu means that it is not a question of if a strain emerges that can be transmitted easily between humans, but when.Worried scientists have finally managed to catch the attention of politicians.Last week, the United Nations General Assembly announced a new international partnership to address avian and pandemic influenza.World health ministers will meet in Canada next month to discuss how to pool resources, boost surveillance and improve the capacity to contain and respond to an outbreak.The World Health Organization(WHO) wants more governments to draw up preparedness plans and agree on how they will co-ordinate their responses.One leading concern is the scarcity of flu vaccine.Although the WHO’s new global stockpile of anti-viral drugs is a good first line of defence, the only sure way of protecting billions of people against superflu is to vaccinate them.Few people would have natural immunity.It could also take six months from the appearance of the first superflu strain to produce a vaccine.In that time, large numbers of people would be likely to die.Anti-viral drugs rushed to the location of any outbreak might delay its spread by a month.But, even with such a delay, the world is woefully unprepared for a pandemic.Its entire capacity for flu vaccine production is only 300 million shots a year.Yet in the case of superflu, several billion people would need vaccination-and they may need two shots at higher doses.While most people only need one shot of vaccine against chicken pox or measles to have life-long immunity, flu is different.The vaccine must be produced each year from scratch because, each year, the influenza virus changes.The race to prepare for the next strain of superflu is “both a sprint and a marathon.”
23.What is this passage mainly about?答案顯示:【C】
(A)Humans do not have natural immunity to bird flu. (B)International cooperation is optional in dealing with the deadly threat of bird flu. (C)It is urgent for humans to prepare well for the global influenza pandemic. (D)More research should be done on the history of the global influenza pandemic.
24.According to this passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?答案顯示:【D】
(A)More vaccine is needed to prepare the world for an influenza pandemic. (B)Scientists are most worried about a shortage of effective vaccine against the flu. (C)The global influenza pandemic had claimed lives of many people in history. (D)Vaccine against the influenza pandemic can be produced prior to its outbreak.
25.According to this passage, which of the following is the primary carrier of avian influenza?答案顯示:【A】
(A)birds(B)fish(C)livestock(D)rodents

  Visitors to art museums are often overwhelmed by the number of works on display, and by what they take to be their own culpable inability to concentrate on more than a few of these works.In fact such a reaction is altogether reasonable.Art history has totally failed to come to terms with the problems of the relationship between the outstanding work and the average work of the European tradition.The notion of Genius is not in itself an adequate answer.Consequently the confusion remains on the walls of the galleries.Third-rate works surround an outstanding work without any recognition—let alone explanation—of what fundamentally differentiate them.The art of any culture will show a wide differential of talent.But in no other culture is the difference between
  ‘masterpiece’ and average work so large as in the tradition of the oil painting.In this tradition the difference is not just a question of skill or imagination, but also of morale.The average work was a work produced more or less cynically:that is to say the values it was nominally expressing were less meaningful to the painter than the finishing of the commission or the selling of his product.Hack work is not the result of either clumsiness or provincialism; it is the result of the market making more insistence demands than the art.The period of the oil painting corresponds with the rise of the open art market.And it is in this contradiction between art and market that the explanations must be sought for what amounts to the contrast, the antagonism existing between the exceptional work and the average.
17.What is the main idea of this passage?答案顯示:【B】
(A)The European tradition of oil paintings displayed in museums. (B)The problem in distinguishing outstanding and average works of art. (C)The irresponsibility of gallery and museum employees. (D)The inability of museum visitors to appreciate arts.
18.According to the author, which is NOT a reason for the proliferation of average work in the tradition of oil painting?答案顯示:【D】
(A)the demand of art market(B)the commission of patrons (C)the desire of the painter to sell his product(D)the clumsiness of the painter
19.According to the author, which of the following is NOT a method to differentiate masterpieces from averageworks in the tradition of oil painting?答案顯示:【B】
(A)by analyzing the contradiction between art and market (B)by examining the hidden notion of a genius (C)by checking the imagination of the painter(D)by studying the skill of the painter
20.According to the passage, what is the reason for the existence of hack work?答案顯示:【D】
(A)provincialism(B)morale of the artists(C)the quality of art(D)market demands

  The skin is an organ, just like the brain, the heart and the stomach, and since it’s an external organ, it’s the mostvisible one.The skin has important functions.First of all, skin helps protect us from extreme temperatures, damaging sunlight, and harmful chemicals.It also contains elements that help the body fight off infection.In addition, the skin manufactures vitamin D which helps the body use sunlight to build healthy bones.The rich supply of nerves just under the surface of the skin provides another important function---the ability to sense changes in temperature and feel when something touches the body.This sense of touch helps the brain know what is happening in the outside world.At the same time, skin allows parts of the body to move freely.
  The skin is made up of three layers.The outer layer, called the ‘epidermis’, contains a tough material called ‘keratin’ which is also found in the hair and nails.This strong covering is crucial in protecting the body.The epidermis is constantly growing as the mature outer part is rubbed off and new skin grows to replace it.As new skin takes five weeks to reach the surface, the outermost layer is actually all dead skin.This protective coating varies in thickness on different parts of the body.For example, it is ten times thicker on the soles of the feet compared to the skin around the eyes since it needs to protect us from constant impact with the ground while walking.
  The layer of skin below the epidermis is called the ‘dermis’.The way it is constructed gives the skin its strength and also allows it to stretch when necessary.In addition, the rich blood flow through this layer helps the body regulate its temperature by increasing blood flow to the skin to allow heat to escape when it’s hot outside, or by decreasing blood flow to raise the body’s temperature when it’s cold.
  Under the dermis is another layer called the ‘subcutis’.It includes a sheet of fat which serves as a reserve supply of energy in case the body experiences a food shortage.The fat also protects the body from sudden changes in heat and cold, and defends the body against injury from knocks and falls.The skin is a truly amazing organ, one which both connects us with and protects us from the outside world.

(A)To make people look attractive.(B)To sense changes in the environment. (C)To produce vitamin D for healthy bones.(D)To allow parts of the body to move freely.
23.In Paragraph Two, what does the underlined word “soles” mean?答案顯示:【A】
(A)Bottom(B)Inside.(C)Sides(D)Top.
24.In Paragraph Two, what does the underlined word “it” refer to?答案顯示:【C】

25.According to the article, which of the following statements is NOT true?答案顯示:【A】
(A)When there is more blood flow to the skin, the body temperature will not change. (B)The protective coating of the epidermis can be different depending on the parts of the body. (C)The fat in the inner most layer of skin defends the body against injury from knocks and falls. (D)The skin is an external organ which connects us and protects us from the outside world.

  In China, the battle to control information is largely waged online.The Communist Party blocks most foreign social media, routinely censors dissenting views and punishes those who repeatedly speak out.It employs around 2m people to police the Internet and bombard users with positive messages about the regime.Yet criticism of the party still bubbles up.Even as the authorities try to tighten controls, netizens devise new ways of airing their views more freely.Zhihu, a question-and-answer site on which people mostly ponder mundane topics such as fitness or films, has emerged as a surprising springboard for political discussion.
  Internet users everywhere migrate between social-media platforms as preferences change.But in China a site’s popularity is determined as much by users’ pursuit of freedom as it is by their love of fashion.Weibo, a Twitter-like microblogging site, gained a colossal following after it was launched in 2009(Twitter itself is blocked).Many users relished the opportunity to air sensitive views and link up with like-minded people.It has since been eclipsed by the rise of WeChat, a messaging app which the authorities find less threatening, and so censor less.
  Zhihu, meaning “Do you know?” in classical Chinese, started in 2011 as a copycat of Quora, an American site.It is now China’s most popular question-and-answer portal, with 100m monthly active users(compared with Weibo’s 261m and WeChat’s 800m).It has evaded some of the strictures suffered by other forums because it is neither a news site nor a means of exchanging salacious videos(a new preoccupation for regulators, who recently called for 24-hour monitoring of live-streaming sites).Zhihu targets young urban professionals, who in China tend to be more willing than others to comment on sensitive topics.In January Zhihu users expressed doubts about the reliability of a televised confession made by a bookseller from Hong Kong, Gui Minhai, who is being detained by Chinese police for selling gossipy books about the country’s leaders.
18.According to the passage, who are more willing to comment on sensitive topics in China?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Entrepreneurs(B)Party officials.(C)College students(D)Young urban professionals.
19.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true about Zhihu?答案顯示:【D】
(A)It was launched in 2009(B)It has 261 million monthly users. (C)It is a Twitter-like microblogging site(D)It triggers political discussion.
20.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?答案顯示:【C】
(A)Zhihu means “Do you know” in Classical Chinese.(B)WeChat has the most monthly users in China. (C)China employs around 3 million people to police the Internet.(D)Twitter is blocked in China.

請依下文回答第 21 題至第 25 題
  Heifer International, based in Little Rock, Arkansas, is a nonprofit organization working to eradicate poverty and hunger through sustainable, values-based holistic community development.Heifer distributes livestock such as goats,bees, and water buffalo, along with agricultural and values-based training, to families in need around the world as a means of providing self-sufficiency.Recipients must agree to “pass on the gift” by sharing animal offspring, as well as the skills and knowledge of animal husbandry and agricultural training with other impoverished families.
  Heifer International began as Heifers for Relief in 1944.Its founder, an Ohio farmer named Dan West, was a Church of the Brethren relief worker during the Spanish Civil War.His mission was to provide relief, but he soon discovered the meager single cup of milk rationed to the weary refugees once a day was not enough.In 1938, while West was ladling out milk to hungry refugee children, he suddenly had a thought: What if they had not a cup, but a cow? That teach-a-man-to-fish philosophy is what drove West to found Heifer International.
  Heifer International empowers families to turn hunger and poverty into hope and prosperity, but its approach is more than just giving them a handout.Heifer links communities and helps bring sustainable agriculture and commerce to areas with a long history of poverty.Heifer animals provide partners with both food and reliable income, as agricultural products such as milk, eggs, and honey can be traded or sold at market.When many families gain this new sustainable income, it brings new opportunities for building schools, creating agricultural cooperatives, forming community savings, and funding small businesses.
  Passing on the gift, the core of Heifer’s model enables families to share the training they receive and pass on the first female offspring of their livestock to another family.This extends the impact of the original gift, allowing a once impoverished family to become donors and full participants in improving their communities.
21.What is the main purpose of this passage?答案顯示:【C】
(A)To encourage people to become animal donors(B)To describe an effective way of creating income. (C)To introduce a successful charitable organization(D)To challenge the idea of helping poor communities.
22.What is the third paragraph mainly about?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Heifer’s focusing on areas with a long history of poverty. (B)New business fundings loaned by Heifer to boost job opportunities. (C)Suitable agricultural and commercial products selected by Heifer. (D)Heifer’s unique approach to help poor families improve their lives.
23.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true about Heifer International?答案顯示:【C】
(A)It donates money to poor families across the world.(B)It helps poor families buy and raise suitable animals.(C)It enables poor families to live in a self-sufficient way. (D)It trains poor families how to gain success in business.
24.What does meager mean in the second paragraph?答案顯示:【A】
(A)Insufficient(B)Inexpensive(C)Original(D)Tasteless.
25.According to the passage, which of the following sayings best illustrates Heifer International’s founding mission?答案顯示:【B】
(A)A penny saved is a penny earned(B)A good intention goes a long way. (C)Do in Rome as the Romans do(D)Honesty is the best policy.

  11-20 閱讀測驗:請根據題意,選擇一個最適當的答案。
  DNA is a powerful investigative tool because no two people have the same DNA.The only exception scientists have found to this is identical twins.The sequence, or order, of the DNA building blocks is different in particular regions of the cell, making each person’s DNA unique.Because of this, DNA evidence collected at the scene of a crime can link a suspect to the crime or can eliminate someone from suspicion.DNA is similar to fingerprints, but has been considered more accurate for the past decade.DNA can also link evidence to a victim by using DNA of relatives if the victim’s body cannot be found.For example, if technicians have a biological sample from the victim, such as a bloodstain found at the crime scene, the DNA taken from that bloodstain can be compared with DNA from the victim’s biological relatives to determine whether the bloodstain came from that particular victim.When a DNA profile developed from evidence at one crime scene is compared with a DNA profile developed from evidence found at another crime scene, the crimes can be linked to each other or to the same suspect, making it possible to link crimes committed at a distance from one another.
  Although many forensic scientists had begun to think of DNA as a miracle identifier, in 2009, scientists for the first time found that it was possible to fabricate DNA evidence from a person other than the donor of the blood or the saliva.This means that someone could plant another person’s DNA at a crime scene, causing the person whose DNA was found to be considered a prime suspect in a case.While this does not mean that DNA evidence will no longer be important, it reinforces that solving crimes must continue to rely on more than science to find a guilty party.
11.What is the primary purpose of this passage?答案顯示:【A】
(A)to show that DNA is a powerful investigative tool (B)to illustrate how the unique characteristics of DNA make different types of comparisons and eliminations possible (C)to teach the reader that identical twins have the same DNA (D)to show how laboratory technicians develop DNA profiles
12.All of the following are true EXCEPT‧答案顯示:【B】
(A)everyone, except for identical twins, has different DNA. (B)the sequence of DNA building blocks is the same in particular regions of the cell, making comparisons possible. (C)DNA can be used for comparisons or eliminations of offenders from different regions. (D)DNA from relatives can be used to identify victims.
13.According to the passage, DNA should be collected from a crime scene because‧答案顯示:【C】
(A)it is better than fingerprints.(B)there is DNA left at every crime scene. (C)it can be used to eliminate potential suspects.(D)DNA is a new investigative tool.
14.Which of the following conclusions can be drawn from the passage?答案顯示:【A】
(A)DNA can be collected from sources other than blood. (B)DNA can be collected only from bloodstains.(C)DNA cannot be collected from bloodstains. (D)DNA can connect crime scenes only if it is taken from bloodstains.
15.The recent scientific finding that DNA evidence can be fabricated is most likely to result in‧答案顯示:【D】
(A)discontinuing any efforts to collect DNA at a crime scene. (B)the field of forensic science losing its current popularity. (C)the end of innocent people being freed from prison on the basis of DNA evidence. (D)renewed efforts to find evidence other than DNA at crime scenes.

  Many people confuse education and training, but they are not the same thing.Education is knowledge-based and is defined as a body of academic knowledge that is most often learned in a classroom setting.Training is coaching to become proficient in particular behaviors or actions.Sometimes the two are confused because many training experiences, like a police academy, often involve many hours of classroom instruction.Such institutions combine elements of education and training, but the differences between the two remain.Knowledge is theoretical.Using a law enforcement example, you can study the laws of arrest without ever having to arrest anyone, but you need to be trained in handcuffing techniques if you will be expected to actually take someone into custody.Similarly, you can study laws and court cases pertaining to deadly physical force without ever having to fire a weapon.Training, on the other hand, is skills-based.It covers what you need to do, as much as what you need to know, in order to perform a task or group of tasks.Learning when or why is not the same as learning how.
16.The best title for this passage would be‧答案顯示:【B】
(A)When or Why Is Not the Same As How.(B)Education versus Training. (C)The Benefits of Studying Case Law.(D)The Importance of Handcuffing Techniques.
17.The main idea of the passage is that‧答案顯示:【A】
(A)ducation and training are different.(B)education and training are the same. (C)people often confuse education and training.(D)raining is ineffective without the foundation of education.
18.Based on the passage, the activity most likely to be defined as training is‧答案顯示:【C】
(A)tudying for a graduate school entrance exam. (B)learning the firearms laws.(C)learning how to fire a shotgun.(D)earning a foreign language.
19.Based on the passage, the activity most likely to be defined as education is‧答案顯示:【B】
(A)learning how to drive(B)learning the firearms laws.(C)learning handcuffing techniques(D)studying for the police entrance exam.
20.The word coaching in line 3 of the passage is closest in meaning to‧答案顯示:【D】
(A)escorting(B)accompanying(C)acting(D)guiding and drilling

  A psychologist suspected that there were subtle cues that were influencing the police questioning process in interviewing eyewitnesses, which causes misremember.She watched videotape after videotape of witness interviews,looking for these cues but she couldn’t see anything.There were so many activities in each interview—all the facial expressions, the different ways the questions were posed, the fluctuating emotions—that she couldn’t detect any patterns.
  So she came up with an idea: she made a list of a few elements she would focus on—the questioners’ tone, the facial expressions of the witness, and how close the witness and the questioner were sitting to each other.Then she removed any information that would distract her from those elements.She turned down the volume on the television,so instead of hearing words, all she could detect was the tone of the questioner’s voice.She taped a sheet of paperover the questioner’s face, so all she could see was the witnesses’ expressions.She held a tape measure to the screen to measure their distance from each other.
  And once she started studying these specific elements, patterns leapt out.She saw that witnesses who misremembered facts usually were questioned by cops who used a gentle, friendly tone.When witnesses smiled more,or sat closer to the person asking the questions, they were more likely to misremember.

(A)The eyewitness’s bespectacled face(B)The eyewitness’s muscular motions. (C)The eyewitness’s habit(D)The eyewitness’s way of posing questions.
48.Which of the following is best to explain the underlined phrase “a tape measure”?答案顯示:【D】
(A)A measurement taped with marks(B)A marked measurement to tape things. (C)A tape measured with marks(D)A tape marked with measurements.
49.Which of the following is true about witnesses?答案顯示:【B】
(A)They tend to remember things with subtle clues. (B)They tend to misremember when interviewed casually. (C)They tend to ignore the obvious but remember the details. (D)They would be influenced by police interviewing protocol.

請依下文回答第16題至第20題:
  In April 1968, Britain was debating the Race Relations Act, which made it illegal to deny a person employment, housing or public services based on race or national origin.The law was intended to protect immigrants from Commonwealth nations, especially former colonies in the Caribbean, India, and Pakistan.The first of these immigrants, 492 Jamaicans, had arrived 20 years earlier.Hundreds of thousands followed."The immigrants were called over," says Sathnam Sanghera, an author whose Sikh parents emigrated from India during that time."There was a labor shortage.There weren't enough people to run the factories after the war." The immigrants were granted British citizenship and helped rebuild Britain after World War II.But they faced racism.Landlords wouldn't rent to them.Some employers turned them away.The Race Relations Act was intended to protect immigrants.
  The tension was especially obvious in Wolverhampton, one of the first cities in Britain to experience mass immigration.Enoch Powell, who represented Wolverhampton in Parliament, feared a race war coming because of mass immigration.On April 20, 1968, he took the stage at a Conservative Party event at the Midlands Hotel in Birmingham and gave an incendiary speech that would come to define him — and divide his country.In the speech, Powell warned, "that tragic and intractable phenomenon which we watch with horror on the other side of the Atlantic...is coming upon us here by our own volition and our own neglect."He attacked the bill that outlawed discrimination.He said it was whites who were facing deprivation and that Britain "must be mad, literally mad, as a nation to be permitting" large numbers of immigrants to enter.The Times of London immediately labeled it an "evil speech." Conservative Party leader Edward Heath dismissed Powell from the party leadership.But polls showed a majority of Britons supported Powell.Many protested,saying, "Powell was right." The speech emboldened racists.

(A)Sathnam Sanghera's parents emigrated from India. (B)Factories did not have enough people after World War II. (C)Immigrants helped rebuild Britain but faced racism.(D)Details of the Race Relations Act are explained.

  Money is an important part of life, and one should learn to manage it wisely.However, it isn’t everything.In a barren desert, a bottle of water is more valuable than a bag of gold, which is actually a burden because of its weight.On a date, a scooter can be more valuable than a BMW because a girl holding tightly to her date on the back of a scooter can have a closer bonding experience than a girl sitting in the passenger seat of a car.Most of the time, the necessity of money has been greatly exaggerated by the society.The value of money depends on the situation.It can be totally useless in one case and incomparably influential in another.The only unchangeable truth is that its utility increases when we share it—life is generous to us when we are generous to others.
  We can all become masters of money if we put ourselves in the right frame of mind.When we are poor, we shall ask ourselves, “Why?” There must be a reason.When we see the rich, we should become inspired: What can we learn from them? When we are with the rich, our hearts should be at peace.Be happy for them, and be thankful for your own blessings.When we are rich, a frugal yet generous life is the true sign of good character.Some pinch pennies because they have to, but a wealthy person who wastes nothing and lives a frugal life is truly someone to be admired.
23.What is the passage mainly about?答案顯示:【C】
(A)How to have a wonderful date without spending too much money. (B)How do we distinguish between the rich and the poor. (C)How to recognize the value of money and be a master of it. (D)How do we get along with the rich and learn something from them.
24.Why does the author mention water and BMW in line 2 and line 4 ?答案顯示:【C】

25.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?答案顯示:【B】
(A)We increase the value of the money when we share it. (B)Being generous is a key to running a successful business. (C)When we are poor we need to find out the reason for it. (D)A rich man deserves respect for his frugality.

  In order to determine whether bots can be accurately detected, how bots behave, and how they impact Twitter activity, the researchers divided accounts into categories based on total number of followers, and found that accounts with more than 10 million followers tend to retweet at similar rates to bots.In accounts with fewer followers however, bots tend to retweet far more than humans.These celebrity-level accounts also tweet at roughly the same pace as bots with similar follower numbers,whereas in smaller accounts, bots tweet far more than humans.
  Bots, like people, can be malicious or benign.The term “bot” is often associated with spam,offensive content or political infiltration, but many of the most reputable organizations in the world also rely on bots for their social media channels.For example, major news organizations, such as CNN or the BBC, who produce hundreds of pieces of content daily, rely on automation to share the news in the most efficient way.These accounts, while classified as bots, are seen by users as trustworthy sources of information.
  “A Twitter user can be a human and still be a spammer, and an account can be operated by a bot and still be benign,” said Zafar Gilani, a PhD student at Cambridge’s Computer Laboratory, who led the research.“We’re interested in seeing how effectively we can detect automated accounts and what effects they have.”
  Bots have been on Twitter for the majority of the social network’s existence—it’s been estimated that anywhere between 40% and 60% of all Twitter accounts are bots.Some bots have tens of millions of followers, although the vast majority have less than a thousand—human accounts have a similar distribution.
36.Which of the following statements is true?答案顯示:【B】
(A)Twitter-followers are often described as spammers. (B)Celebrities tweet as often as bots when they have a similar number of followers. (C)The more followers a twitter account has, the less likely it will be tweeted by humans. (D)Twitters anywhere can only be bots with more than 10 million followers.
37.Which of the following is true about “bots”?答案顯示:【B】
(A)Bots are a different kind of human-twitters.(B)Bots are often associated with malicious twitters. (C)Bots rely on humans to execute orders.(D)Bots operated by humans can only be malicious.
38.Which of the following statements is NOT true?答案顯示:【A】
(A)CNN or BBC relies on twitters to deliver trustworthy information. (B)Bots have been on Twitter for some of the celebrities’ existence. (C)Both human and non-human accounts are possible on Twitter. (D)Twitter accounts are barely dominated by bots.
39.According to the passage, what could be said of the human accounts and bots?答案顯示:【A】
(A)They have the same distribution in followers.(B)Human twitters are far more benign than bots. (C)The accounts operated by humans and bots are of equal number. (D)The vast majority of human twitters are malicious.
40.What can be inferred according to the passage?答案顯示:【B】
(A)Bots cannot be detected by any means.(B)Celebrity twitter accounts display bot-like behavior. (C)Bots are hardly used by media channels.(D)Celebrity twitter accounts are seldom benign.

一、英譯中(15分)
  While the tariffs are aimed at hurting China, they are also having an impact on American consumers and businesses that rely on products from China’s factories.Farmers and manufacturers, in particular, have complained that they are bearing the brunt of the trade war as China raises the price on imported soybeans and other agriculture products that it typically buys from farms and on materials and products imported by manufacturers to make machinery, clothes and other products.
二、中譯英(15分)
  經濟學家往往在兩個相互矛盾的觀點之間左右為難:一方面,良好的經濟政策 應該產生有利的結果,因此也應該證明是良好的政治;另一方面,良好經濟政 策的實施往往被視為需要「強大」和「自主」的(而非專制的)領導。智利這個國家在執行自由經濟政策方面可能比任何其他國家都走得更遠,該國的經驗 就是一個很好的例子。

  請根據下面的指示,寫出一篇大約 200 字的短文。
  Read the excerpt below carefully and think about the assignment that follows.

Sometimes in soccer, an attempt to defend one’s turf results in a score for the opposing team—an “own goal.” There have already been nine such incidents of self-sabotage in the 2018 World Cup, by far the most in the history of the tournament.But you won’t find the most spectacular example of the summer on the pitch in Russia.That distinction goes to Donald Trump’s administration, whose determination to start a trade war with China is, like the best own goals in soccer, muscular in its approach, blind in its aim, and self-injurious in its consequences.  –Derek Thompson.Why Donald Trump’s Trade War Will  Fail.The Atlantic, July 7, 2018.
Assignment:Based on the excerpt, what is an “own goal”?What are the implicit similarities between “the best own goals in soccer” and Donald Trump’s trade war with China?Do you agree with Derek Thompson’s opinion of the trade war?Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

請依下文回答第7題至第10題:
  Do you have difficulties getting work done because computer games or online chatting occupy a great deal of your time?Do you value chat-room friends more than real friends because most of your friends are from online contacts?The habits you develop from your computer use may cause significant problems in your life.For instance, feeling irritable or depressed when not using the computer, losing jobs or failing courses due to the lack of productivity on work or school assignments, and finally, feeling socially inept, since you lose the ability to interact with people face to face.
  Symptoms, such as obsessively checking e-mail, losing track of time while on the computer, and neglecting family, work, friends, or even personal health and hygiene, are all indications of computer addiction.This addiction can be described as compulsive.
  Not all people who spend hours each day on the computer, however, are considered addicted.That is, a person who spends 8 hours or more a day on the computer may not automatically be regarded as a computer addict while another person who spends less than 6 hours a day could suffer from an addition.It is important to note each case is distinct and, therefore, the number of hours spent on the computer is not considered to be the main factor in identifying computer addiction.Rather, the kinds of activities, the level of compulsion, and other ways of using the computer are the real determining factors.
  A person who is obsessed with the computer is likely to have the following experiences or feelings: craving for the use of computer excessively; feeling anxious or gloomy when computer time is interrupted; telling lies to hide that you are actually playing games online; and neglecting friends, family, or responsibilities when online.Physical discomfort, such as back and neck aches, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, difficulty focusing your vision, dry eyes, and severe headaches may also be observed.Look out for these signs and get proper treatment, so you will regain control of your life.
7.What does “socially inept” mean?答案顯示:【B】
(A)conducive to companionship with others(C)inclined to associate with others (B)unable to manage interactions with others(D)willing to engage in activities with others
8*Which of the following is closest in meaning to “compulsive”?答案顯示:【無】
(A)apathetic(B)controlled(C)uncountrollable(D)unstable
9.Which of the following is true about identifying computer addiction?答案顯示:【D】
(A)8 hours at a time on the computer.(B)6 hours a day on the computer. (C)More than 8 hours a day on the computer. (D)Length of time spent on the computer cannot be considered as the sole factor to identify it.
10.Which of the following is not the consequence of computer addition?答案顯示:【D】
(A)losing track of time(B)having back and neck aches (C)having problems with relationships(D)having a burning desire to attend courses

  Since 1970s, there has been a boom in such “international schools,” which teach in English in non-Anglophone countries, mostly offering British A-levels, American APs and SATs, or the International Baccalaureate.But nowadays international schools increasingly[11]their name.Though their clientele varies from place to place, four-fifths of the pupils they teach around the world are locals.Thirty years ago, just a fifth[12].The main reason is increased[13]for schooling mostly or entirely in English, both in rich countries and even more from rich parents in developing countries who want their children to be able to go to university in Britain or North America.
  This new elite can outspend even very highly paid foreign managers—and multinationals trying to cut costs are ever[14]willing to pay school fees.Locals are more appealing clients, too: their children tend to stay for their entire schooling, unlike “expat brats,” who are always moving on, leaving seats to be filled.And a parent-teacher[15]packed with the local elite is more helpful than one full of foreigners.

  Today, Western wedding dresses are usually white.However, white did not become a popular option until 1840, after the marriage of Queen Victoria to Albert of Saxe-Coburg.Victoria wore a white gown for the event to incorporate some lace she prized.The official wedding portrait photograph was widely published, and many other brides[16]white in accordance with the Queen’s choice.The tradition continues today in the form of a white wedding, though prior to the Victorian era, a bride was married[17]any color, black being especially popular in Scandinavia.Later, many people assumed that the color white was intended to[18]virginity, though this was not the original intention.The white gown is in fact a symbolic Christening gown.It is a[19]of the white surplice worn in the Western Catholic tradition by members of the clergy, church choirs and servers and the gowns worn by girls celebrating their first communion and at their confirmation and also by women making religious[20].Jews have gone to great lengths to follow these Western customs, whilst adhering to the laws of Tzniut.Today, the white dress is understood merely as the most traditional and popular choice for weddings.

  Are you one of those so-called “armchair athletes” who follow your favorite sports team’s every game cheering along but do not physically play the game?Although a recent study suggests that watching sport can make you fitter, it is time to stop staying on the sidelines and[21].
  According to research, viewing other people exercise increases heart rate and other physiological measures as if you were working out yourself.However, if you are truly health[22], it is even better and more effective to put it into practice.Playing a sport is not only fun but also boosts fitness and improves self-confidence.Learning a new sport can be tough and challenging.[23]your body and mind to follow the rules and specific movements might be a challenge at first, but regular practice will make this easier.For example, swimming has been known to be beneficial to those who suffer from asthma.Swimming improves good lung capacity and learning to swim can help asthmatics develop[24]as well.
  The key to finding a sport you like is to try your hand at something you think you might like to do.Since you spend lots of time watching your favorite sports, why not try one of them first.This will increase your appreciation of that particular sport and also give you[25]experience of what your favorite athletes are going through out there.If you feel that it is not for you, then try your next choice.Repeat until you find something that you like.After all, cheering on your favorite team is great, but playing and experiencing some of it yourself is deeply satisfying.

請依下文回答第26題至第30題:
  It seemed like a curse.The summer of 821 was wet, cold and yielded a poor harvest.Then winter came.Temperatures plunged.Blizzards smothered towns and villages.The Danube, the Rhine and the Seine – rivers that never froze – froze so hard that the ice covering them could be crossed not just on foot but by horse and cart.Nor did spring bring respite.Terrible hailstorms followed the snow.Plague and famine followed the storms.The next few winters were worse.Fear stalked the land.Paschasius Radbertus, a monk of Corbie, in what is now northern France, wrote that God Himself was angry.Yet it was not God that wrought this destruction, according to Ulf Büntgen of the University of Cambridge, but rather a volcano now called Katla, on what was then an unknown island, now called Iceland.
  At the moment Katla, one of Iceland’s largest volcanoes, located near the island’s southern tip, sleeps beneath 700 metres of ice.It has so slept, albeit fitfully, for almost 100 years.Its last eruption big enough to break through the ice was in 1918.A score of such ice-breaking awakenings have been recorded by Icelanders since the first Norsemen settled there in 870.In 821, however, Iceland was not on the Norsemen’s horizon.They were concentrating their activities on the lootable monasteries and villages of coastal Europe.There is thus no man-made record of what Katla was up to then.But Dr.Büntgen thinks he has found a naturalone.A memorandum of an eruption that coincides with the events described by Radbertus is, he believes, written in a prehistoric forest.
  Large volcanic eruptions can affect the weather.In particular they eject sulphur dioxide, which reacts with atmospheric gases to form sulphate aerosols that reflect sunlight back into the space, cooling the air beneath.That is well known.So the suspicion that what happened in the early 820s was precipitated by such an eruption has been around for a long time.
26.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the winter of 821 in Europe in the first paragraph?答案顯示:【A】
(A)It was the coldest one in the early 820s. (B)The big rivers – the Danube, the Rhine and the Seine – froze. (C)The next spring did not make things better. (D)It subsequently brought fear among people.
27.In the 820s, what would NOT be recognized by Paschasius Radbertus, a monk of Corbie?答案顯示:【D】
(A)God Himself wrought the destruction.(C)Hailstorms followed the snow. (B)Plague and famine followed the storms.(D)The bad weather was caused by a volcano.
28.What can we know about the volcano Katla from this passage?答案顯示:【B】
(A)It has not erupted for 200 years.(B)It is located near Iceland’s southern tip. (C)It lies underneath 700 metres of sea water.(D)It has not erupted since the Icelanders’ settlement in 870.
29.What does “one” in the second paragraph refer to?答案顯示:【C】
(A)an activity(B)a monastery(C)a record(D)a village
30.According to this passage, which piece of information is NOT true about volcanic eruptions?答案顯示:【C】
(A)The ejected sulphur dioxide would react with atmospheric gases. (B)Once sulphate aerosols are formed, they would reflect sunlight back into space. (C)After the eruption, the air beneath sulphate aerosols might become hotter. (D)Large volcanic eruptions can affect the weather.

請依下文回答第31題至第35題:
  Experiments that go according to plan can be useful.But the biggest scientific advances often emerge from those that do not.Such is the case with a study just reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.When they began it, Hector DeLuca of the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and his colleagues had been intending to examine the effects of ultraviolet(UV)light on mice suffering from a rodent version of multiple sclerosis(MS).By the project’s end, however, they had in their hands two substances which may prove valuable drugs against the illness.
  Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease.This means it is caused by a victim’s immune system turning on and destroying parts of his own body.In the case of MS the targets of these attacks, which may continue for years, are the fatty sheaths that insulate nerve cells and thus help nervous impulses to propagate.People suffering from MS are often weakened, and sometimes physically disabled by it, and may also become blind.
  What drives the immune system to behave in this way remains mysterious, but in the 1970s researchers uncovered a promising clue when they noticed that MS is rarer near the equator than it is at high latitudes.The first hypothesis proposed to explain this observation was that vitamin D(a substance created by sunlight’s action on precursor molecules in the skin)might be helping to prevent MS.That made sense, since those living in the tropics receive more sunlight than those in temperate zones.Sadly, follow-up experiments failed to support the notion.Those experiments did, though, lead Dr.DeLuca to discover that the preventive effect is associated with a particular sort of sunlight—UV with a wavelength of between 300 and 315 nanometres(billionths of a metre).His latest experiment was intended to dig deeper into this observation, by using this type of light to irradiate mice that had been injected with chemicals known to cause the rodent equivalent of MS.
31.According to the passage, what can we know of Dr.DeLuca’s project?答案顯示:【B】
(A)It aims to treat MS patients at high latitudes. (B)It leads to results different from the team’s expectation. (C)It involves vitamin D’s effect on UV prevention. (D)It involves mice suffering from the effects of ultraviolet(UV)light.
32.Which of the following is NOT true about MS(multiple sclerosis)?答案顯示:【D】
(A)It is an autoimmune disease.(B)People suffering from it are sometimes physically disabled by it. (C)People suffering from it may become blind.(D)The targets of MS attacks are the nerve cells.
33.What led to the 1970s’ hypothesis that vitamin D might be helping to prevent MS?答案顯示:【A】
(A)MS is rarer near the equator than it is at high latitudes. (B)Those living in the tropics receive more sunlight than those in temperate zones. (C)The follow-up experiments supported the notion. (D)A particular sort of sunlight was discovered.
34.What does “Proceedings” mean in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences?答案顯示:【C】
(A)a series of scientific experiments(B)a record of legal documents (C)a record of academic findings(D)a series of economic reports
35.What is the unintended result of Dr.DeLuca’s experiment?答案顯示:【D】
(A)It ruled out the helpfulness of vitamin D.(B)It turned out they had focused on the wrong sort of sunlight. (C)It could not determine the effects of UV light on mice suffering from MS. (D)It found that two substances might prove valuable drugs against MS.

請依下文回答第36題至第40題:
  By about age 12, students who feel threatened by mathematics start to avoid math courses, do poorly in the few math classes they do take, and earn low scores on math-achievement tests.Some scientists have theorized that kids having little math aptitude in the first place justifiably dread grappling with numbers.However, it is not that simple, at least for college students, according to a study in the Journal of Experimental Psychology.According to the study, people’s intrusive worries about math temporarily disrupt mental processes needed for doing arithmetic and drag down math competence, report Mark H.Ashcraft and Elizabeth P.Kirk, both psychologists at Cleveland(Ohio)State University.Math anxiety exerts this effect by making it difficult to hold new information in mind while simultaneously manipulating it, the researchers hold.Psychologists regard this capacity, known as working memory, as crucial for dealing with numbers.“Math anxiety soaks up working memory resources and makes it harder to learn mathematics, probably beginning in middle school,” Ashcraft says.
36.What did psychologists Ashcraft and Kirk report?答案顯示:【C】
(A)Doing poorly in math tends not to cause math anxiety. (B)College students learn math differently from 12-year-olds. (C)Worrying about math makes it harder to do math. (D)Students should take harder math classes starting in middle school.
37.Which of the following describes the process of remembering new information while using it?答案顯示:【D】
(A)math anxiety(B)math aptitude(C)disruptive mental process(D)working memory
38.What theory does the Ashcraft and Kirk study challenge?答案顯示:【B】
(A)Math anxiety improves math performance. (B)Math anxiety is a result of low math aptitude. (C)Starting to study math at a young age improves math performance. (D)The more math aptitude one has, the less working memory is needed.
39.What is the purpose of this passage?答案顯示:【A】
(A)to report a study about math anxiety(B)to describe how to teach math better (C)to praise the way math is taught(D)to dispute the work of Ashcraft and Kirk
40.What can be inferred from this passage?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Students who have math anxiety should not be forced to take math classes after middle school. (B)Math aptitude can be accurately determined before middle school. (C)Students should learn math as much as possible whether they like it or not. (D)Students usually do not feel threatened by math before the age of 12.

一、英譯中:請將下列英文段落譯為中文。(15分)
  The allure of President Barack Obama as a cover star went far beyond his vocation.He has appeared on more magazines than most supermodels, straddling such a diversity of titles, from political and literary journals to hip-hop monthlies and comic books.One Obama cover that stirred heated contention when he was in office was published by New York Magazine in 2009.The president’s face was graffitied with words such as socialist, impostor, Muslim, and HATE.The cover was severely criticized for its malevolent depiction of the new president; the magazine maintained that the words used reflected not their views, but those of a section of Obama’s dissenters.During his eight-year tenure, the press presented Obama as feminist, communist, fashion model, Jew, the messiah, Superman, and even Muslim terrorist.This bizarre kaleidoscope of characterizations reflected a sense of confusion about what Obama stood for and the impossible scope of expectations heaped upon him.

  「棒球」在臺灣意味著什麼?答案是汗水和國族認同。在球場裡觀看球賽,每個觀眾好像都知道與參賽球隊有關的各種混和中文和英文的加油口號,而且知道配合口號的舞蹈動作。在這裡,看球變成一種令人暈眩的多語經歷及一場激烈的有氧運動。在臺灣的國族身分建構中,這項運動有著根深蒂固的地位。臺灣的棒球並不是從美國引進的,而是來自日本。棒球的歷史就像這個島嶼走向民主的進程一樣洶湧澎湃。從 1969年到 1996年,臺灣曾在世界少棒聯盟稱霸,28次打入決賽、17 次奪冠。新臺幣伍佰元紙鈔上就印著一支棒球隊,向取得傲人戰績的少棒隊致敬。當臺灣在國際外交的發展愈形艱困之際,棒球是臺灣強大的軟實力工具之一,也是臺灣獲得國際認可的途徑。 三、英文短文寫作。(45分)
  American civil rights activist, W.E.B.Du Bois, once said, “The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line: the relation of the darker to the lighter races of men in Asia and Africa, in America and the islands of the sea.” The “color line” here refers to the racial segregation that existed in the United States after the abolition of slavery.In your opinion, what is it that segregates people in the world in the 21st century?How does it divide, discriminate and alienate people?Is it possible to spot a silver lining in this segregation?If so, what can be done?Express your ideas by using a real case and write an essay of no more than 350 words with an introductory paragraph, a main body containing 3 to 5 major points and a conclusion.

  Inventions, creations, technological advancements when protected take the form of copyrights, patents, trademarks or trade secrets.These[1]properties are assets of business enterprises, as they are essential for the success of businesses.[2], it is necessary to encourage their growth and also provide legal protection against misuse, theft, etc.
  Copyright law gives authors and artists the right to control the reproduction and performance of their works. The period of protection varies in each country.By and large, protection is[3]to authors for their life plus 50 years, and for photographic works of applied art for 25 years.
  Patents provide[4]right to manufacture or use an invention for a specific period of time.Patent laws are primarily territorial.However, there are a couple of international agreements to provide patent protection like the
  European Patent Convention and the Patent Co-operation Treaty.Lack of a universally accepted patent law hinders introduction of a product on a global basis.
  Trademark is any work, name, symbol, or device or any combination[5]adopted and used by a manufacturer or merchant to identify his goods and distinguish them from those manufactured or sold by others.

請依下文回答第6題至第10題:
  The news media are hungry for new findings, and reporters often latch onto ideas from the scientific laboratories before they have been fully tested.Also, a reporter who lacks a strong understanding of science may misunderstand or misreport complex scientific principles.To tell the truth, sometimes scientists also get excited about their findings, and leak them to the press before they have been through a rigorous review by the scientists’ peers.As a result, the public is often exposed to late-breaking nutrition news stories before the findings are fully confirmed.Then, when the hypothesis being tested fails to hold up to a later challenge, consumers feel betrayed by what is simply the normal course of science at work.
  Sometimes media sensationalism overrates the importance of even true, replicated findings.For example, the media eagerly report that oat products lower blood cholesterol, a lipid indicative of heart disease risk.Although the reports are true, they often fail to mention that eating a nutritious diet that is low in certain fats is still the major step toward lowering blood cholesterol.
  Today, oat bran’s cholesterol-lowering effect is established, and labels on food packages can proclaim that a diet high in oats may reduce the risk of heart disease.The whole process of discovery, challenge, and vindication took almost 10 years of research.Some other lines of research have taken much longer.In science, a single finding almost never makes a crucial difference to our knowledge as a whole, but like each individual frame in a movie, it contributes a little to the big picture.Many such frames are needed to tell the whole story.
6.What is the main reason for inconsistent nutrition news reports?答案顯示:【B】
(A)Reporters generally lack fundamental knowledge in nutrition science. (B)The news media report research findings too soon before they are confirmed. (C)Nutrition researchers do not agree upon which findings to report from their labs. (D)Nutrition research lacks integrity in its methodology.
7.Which of the following is NOT true about oats?答案顯示:【D】
(A)A diet rich in oats can significantly reduce the risk of heart attacks. (B)Scientists have studied the nutrition value of oats for nearly a decade. (C)The importance of oats in controlling blood cholesterol was once overrated. (D)The early report about the cholesterol-lowering effect of oats has not been confirmed by later studies.

請依下文回答第11題至第15題:
  If Jane Austen’s work is perceived as quintessentially British, it has found resonance across the world.In The Genius of Jane Austen, Paula Byrne writes that Austen is seen as having a particular affinity with Chinese culture,where “manners matter” as they did in Georgian England.There have been more than 50 written versions of Pride and Prejudice in China alone.This may be because the term “marriage market” in China is more than a turn of phrase.In Shanghai, parents of unmarried children flock to a weekly event described as “match.com meets farmers’ market” where they scout for prospective in-laws.Chinese women still seek to marry property-owning men more educated than themselves.Ms.Byrne notes that Ang Lee, a Taiwanese director, was considered a perfect fit for Sense and Sensibility(1995)because his previous films had explored “family conflicts in the context of traditional Chinese values.”
  It is the subcontinent, however, that has embraced her books most enthusiastically, with Austen societies established in both India and Pakistan.The economic and social position of women, their reputation and eligibility are all themes that are easy to adapt to different cultural contexts, but there are also specifics that resonate in Indian and Pakistani society, such as the importance of familial bonds, the preference given to male inheritance, the dowry system and the “marrying off” of young women by overzealous mothers and aunts.
  Laaleen Khan, the founder of the Pakistani branch, has noted that South Asian society has its share of “disapproving Lady Catherine de Bourgh-esque society aunties, rakish Wickhams and Willoughbys, pretentious Mrs.Eltons and holier-than thou Mr.Collins types.”
  This is the key to Austen’s transformation from little known spinster-scribbler to literary superstar.Western readers may no longer empathize with the urgency that surrounds marriage or the idea that a relationship can be stopped in its tracks by monetary circumstance.But everyone has encountered a flirty, shallow Isabella Thorpe or a suave but seedy Henry Crawford.Two hundred years on, Austen’s sniping observations of human vanity and folly still hit the mark.
11.What is the main idea of the passage?答案顯示:【A】
(A)Jane Austen’s works have long-lasting appeal worldwide. (B)Jane Austen’s creativity is formidable and adaptable. (C)Jane Austen inspires people’s transformation from rags to riches. (D)Jane Austen’s ideas have a special meaning for women.
12.What does the word “prospective” in the first paragraph mean?答案顯示:【B】
(A)prosperous(B)promising(C)possessive(D)perceptive
13.What does the phrase “hit the mark” in the final paragraph mean?答案顯示:【C】
(A)to be solemn(B)to be vigorous(C)to be accurate(D)to be eloquent
14.According to Ms.Byrne, why is Ang Lee, the Taiwanese director, a perfect fit for Austen’s novels?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Lee has a natural liking and understanding of Jane Austen’s works. (B)Lee represents a man of manners like those in Georgian England. (C)Lee demonstrates a sense of Chinese culture in Sense and Sensibility. (D)Lee deals with themes similar to Austen’s works in previous films.
15.Why are a number of characters in Austen’s novels cited in the last two paragraphs?答案顯示:【A】
(A)Their types can be found in societies across the world. (B)They are the ones that have been adapted into screens. (C)Their names are renowned in Indian and Pakistani societies. (D)They embody the economic and social positions of women.

  Offshore investment is the keeping of money in a jurisdiction other than one’s home nation.Offshore jurisdictions are a commonly accepted means of reducing the taxes levied in most countries to both large and small-scale investors alike.Locations favored by investors for low rates of tax are known as offshore financial centers(OFCs)or, sometimes, as tax havens.These include well-known centers such as Switzerland, Bermuda, and the Cayman Islands.
  The level of regulatory standards and transparency differs widely among OFCs.Poorly regulated offshore domiciles have served historically as havens for tax evasion, money laundering, or to conceal or protect illegally acquired money from law enforcement in the investor’s country.However, the modern, well-regulated offshore centers allow legitimate investors to take advantage of higher rates of return or lower rates of tax on that return offered by operating via such domiciles.
  Supporters of OFCs argue that offshore centers improve the flow of capital and facilitate international business transactions.These centers are widely used and are accessible to anyone who can meet the minimum investment amount or pay the obligatory fees required to open such an entity.According to finance experts, more than half of the world’s assets and investments are held in offshore jurisdictions and many well-recognized companies have investment opportunities in offshore locales.
  Business operations of offshore investment are less costly and regulated than those offered in the investor’s country – or “onshore.” Payment of less tax is the main driving force behind most offshore activities.Often, taxes levied by an investor’s home country are critical to the profitability of any given investment.Using offshore-domiciled special purpose mechanisms, an investor may reduce the amount of tax payable, allowing the investor to achieve greater profitability overall.Moreover, offshore investment is less regulated than onshore investment, and the behavior of the offshore investment provider, be he a banker, fund manager, trustee, or stock-broker, is freer than it could be in a more regulated environment.
16.What is the main idea of this passage?答案顯示:【B】
(A)to recruit potential offshore investment partners(B)to introduce offshore investment and its benefits (C)to promote well-known offshore investment centers (D)to compare offshore investment and onshore investment
17.What is the last paragraph mainly about?答案顯示:【C】
(A)business operations of offshore investment(B)less regulated offshore investment environment (C)main driving incentives behind offshore investment (D)offshore-domiciled mechanisms for reducing tax payable
18.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE about offshore investment centers?答案顯示:【D】
(A)They set different minimum investment amounts to enlarge their investor bases. (B)They promote their business based on the flexibility of their regulatory standards. (C)They ensure the short-term as well as long-term profitability of a given investment. (D)They allow investors to conduct investment activities in a more profitable fashion.
19.What does “accessible” mean in this article?答案顯示:【A】
(A)available(B)fundamental(C)impressive(D)significant
20.According to the passage, which of the following best reflects the investor’s belief in investing offshore?答案顯示:【B】
(A)When one door shuts, another opens(B)Hoist your sail when the wind is fair. (C)What the mind can conceive, it can achieve.(D)A bird in the hand is worth two in the woods

   Because athletes and coaches are focused on winning no matter what the cost is, cheating has become more common in sports.Of course, there are rules to penalize cheating, so players and coaches have come up with ingenious ways to get around the rules.Getting a competitive edge, even unfairly, is seen as a “strategy” rather than cheating.Illegal acts are now even being accepted as part of the game.They have found loopholes in rules that allow them to cheat in order to get an advantage over opponents.This kind of cheating is called “normative cheating.” One example of this kind of cheating is when a player pretends to be fouled in order to get a free foul shot during a game.Or a team might set the heat very high in the opponent’s locker room to make players on that team sluggish during the game.Some sports have also encouraged hitting or tackling other players very hard to make those players drop the ball or poorly execute a play.
  The “winning-at-all-costs” philosophy of sports today has had an adverse effect on athletes.Recent research has shown that participation in sports actually blocks the normal development of moral reasoning in athletes.In a study of 10,000 athletes in both high school and college, it was found that athletes in general scored lower on tests of moral development than non-athletes.Additionally, male athletes scored lower than female ones.And worst of all, the longer athletes participated in sports, the lower their moral reasoning scores on the test.
14.What is the passage mainly about?答案顯示:【A】
(A)The cause and effect of cheating in sports.(B)Penalty rules against cheating. (C)How to win a competition.(D)Moral reasoning scores of athletes.
15.What does “normative cheating” in the first paragraph mean?答案顯示:【D】
(A)Cheating by normal people.(B)Cheating by breaking the rules. (C)Cheating that is easily noticed by the opponents.(D)Cheating that creates an advantage within the rules.
16.Which of the following is an example of normative cheating?答案顯示:【B】
(A)To hit a referee so hard that he can’t do his job well. (B)To act as if you have been hit illegally by an opponent. (C)To lock the opponents in their locker room.(D)To attack an opponent and be noticed by the referee.
17.What does “adverse” in the second paragraph mean?答案顯示:【B】
(A)Limited.(B)Negative.(C)Progressive.(D)Significant.
18.What was the major finding of the study of 10,000 athletes?答案顯示:【C】
(A)Athletes see themselvesas more morally conscious. (B)Male athletes have a stronger sense of morality than female ones. (C)Athletes have difficulty judging what is morally right or wrong. (D)Longer participation in sports makes people morally strong.
