It is the two or three digits just before the local number. If the number 16 is in the same area as the number making the call, an area code usually doesn’t need to be dialed. The local number, 17 , must always be dialed in its entirety.The area code was introduced in the United States in 1947. It was created 18 the format of XYX, with X being any number between 2-9 and Y being either 1 or 0. Cities and areas with higher populations would have a smaller first and third digit, and 1 as the center digit. New York, being the largest city in the United States, was 19 the 212 area code, followed by Los Angeles at 213.In countries other than the United States and Canada, the area code generally determine s the 20 of a call. Calls within an area code and often a small group of neighboring area codes are normally charged at a lower rate than outside the area code.16.

(A) cost (B) format (C) quality (D) distanceFor coin collectors who invest money in coins, the value of a coin is determined by various factors. First, scarcity is a major determinant. 21 a coin is, the more it is worth. Note, however, that rarity has little to do with the 22 of a coin. Many thousand-year-old coins often sell for no more than a few dollars because there are a lot of them around, 23 a 1913 Liberty Head Nickel may sell for over one million US dollars because there are only five in existence. Furthermore, the demand for a particular coin will also 24 influence coin values. Some coins may command higher prices because they are more popular with collectors. For example, a 1798 dime is much rarer than a 1916 dime, but the 25 sells for significantly more, simply because many more people collect early 20th century dimes than dimes from the 1700s.21.

He wanted to find a way to measure the ability to think and reason, apart from education in any particular field. In 1905 he developed a test in which he 27 children do tasks such as follow commands, copy patterns, name objects, and put things in order or arrange them properly. He later created a standard of measuring children’s intelligence 28 the data he had collected from the French children he studied. If 70 percent of 8-year-olds could pass a particular test, then 29 on the test represented an 8-year-old’s level of intelligence. From Binet’s work, the phrase “intelligence quotient” (“IQ”) entered the English vocabulary. The IQ is the ratio of “mental age” to chronological age times 100, with 100 30 the average. So, an 8-year-old who passes the 10-year-old’s test would have an IQ of 10/8 times 100, or 125.26. (A) contrary (B) normal (C) detective (D) mutual27. (A) had (B) kept (C) wanted (D) asked28.

They are stony structures full of dark hideaways where fish and sea animals can lay their eggs and 31 from predators. Without these underwater “apartment houses,” there would be fewer fish in the ocean. Some species might even become 32 or disappear completely.There are thousands of reefs in the world; 33 , however, they are now in serious danger. More than one-third are in such bad shape that they could die within ten years. Many might not even 34 that long! Scientists are working hard to find out what leads to this destruction. There are still a lot of questions unanswered, but three main causes have been 35 .The first cause is pollution on land. The pollutants run with rainwater into rivers and streams, which 36 the poisons into the ocean. Chemicals from the poisons kill reefs or make them weak, so they have less 37 to diseases.Global warming is another reason. Higher ocean temperatures kill the important food source for the coral—the algae, the tiny greenish-gold water plants that live on coral. When the algae die, the coral loses its color and it also dies 38 . This process, known as “coral bleaching,” has happened more and more frequently in recent years.The last factor contributing to the 39 of coral reefs is people. People sometimes crash into reefs with their boats or drop anchors on them, breaking off large chunks of coral. Divers who walk on reefs can also do serious damage. Moreover, some people even break coral off to collect for 40 since it is so colorful and pretty.How can we help the reefs?We need to learn more about them and work together to stop the activities that may threaten their existence.(A) resistance (B) identified (C) last (D) escape (E) sadly(F) eventually (G) disappearance (H) souvenirs (I) endangered (J) carry102年学测第 4 页英文考科共7 页第41至44题为题组The Swiss army knife is a popular device that is recognized all over the world. In Switzerland, there is a saying that every good Swiss citizen has one in his or her pocket. But the knife had humble beginnings.In the late nineteenth century, the Swiss army issued its soldiers a gun that required a special screwdriver to dismantle and clean it. At the same time, canned food was becoming common in the army. Swiss generals decided to issue each soldier a standard knife to serve both as a screwdriver and a can opener.It was a lifesaver for Swiss knife makers, who were struggling to compete with cheaper German imports. In 1884, Carl Elsener, head of the Swiss knife manufacturer Victorinox, seized that opportunity with both hands, and designed a soldier’s knife that the army loved. It was a simple knife with one big blade, a can opener, and a screwdriver.A few years after the soldier’s knife was issued, the “Schweizer Offizier Messer,”or Swiss Officer’s Knife, came on the market. Interestingly, the Officer’s Knife was never given to those serving in the army. The Swiss military purchasers considered the new model with a corkscrew for opening wine not “essential for survival,” so officers had to buy this new model by themselves. But its special multi-functional design later launched the knife as a global brand. After the Second World War, a great number of American soldiers were stationed in Europe. And as they could buy the Swiss army knife at shops on military bases, they bought huge quantities of them. However, it seems that “Schweizer Offizier Messer” was too difficult for them to say, so they just called it the Swiss army knife, and that is the name it is now known by all over the world.41. What is the main purpose of the passage?(A) To explain the origin of the Swiss army knife.(B) To introduce the functions of the Swiss army knife.(C) To emphasize the importance of the Swiss army knife.(D) To tell a story about the designer of the Swiss army knife.42. What does “It” in the third paragraph refer to?(A) The Swiss army needed a knife for every soldier.(B) Every good Swiss citizen had a knife in his pocket.(C) Swiss knives were competing with imported knives.(D) Canned food was becoming popular in the Swiss army.43. Why didn’t the Swiss army purchase the Swiss Officer’s Knife?(A) The design of the knife was too simple.(B) The knife was sold out to American soldiers.(C) The army had no budget to make the purchase.(D) The new design was not considered necessary for officers to own.44. Who gave the name “the Swiss army knife” to the knife discussed in the passage?(A) Carl Elsener. (B) Swiss generals.(C) American soldiers. (D) German businessmen.- 4 -第 5 页102年学测共7 页英文考科第45至48题为题组Space is where our future is—trips to the Moon, Mars and beyond. Most people would think that aside from comets and stars there is little else out there. But, since our space journey started we have left so much trash there that scie ntists are now concerned that if we don’t clean it up, we may all be in mortal danger.The first piece of space junk was created in 1964, when the American satellite Vanguard I stopped operating and lost its connection with the ground center. However, since it kept orbiting around the Earth without any consequences, scientists became increasingly comfortable abandoning things that no longer served any useful purpose in space.It is estimated that there are currently over 500,000 pieces of man-made trash orbiting the Earth at speeds of up to 17,500 miles per hour. The junk varies from tiny pieces of paint chipped off rockets to cameras, huge fuel tanks, and even odd items like the million-dollar tool kit that astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper lost during a spacewalk.The major problem with the space trash is that it may hit working satellites and damage traveling spacecraft. Moreover, pieces of junk may collide with each other and break into fragments which fall back to the Earth. To avoid this, scientists have devised several ways for clearing the sky. Ground stations have been built to monitor larger pieces of space trash to prevent them from crashing into working satellites or space shuttles. Future plans include a cooperative effort among many nations to stop littering in space and to clean up the trash already there.45. What was the first piece of man-made space trash?(A) A camera. (B) A tool kit.(C) A fuel tank. (D) A broken satellite.46. Why were scientists NOT concerned about space trash in the beginning?(A) It no longer served any useful purpose.(B) It was millions of miles away from the Earth.(C) It did not cause any problems.(D) It was regarded as similar to comets and stars.47. Which of the following statements is true about space junk?(A) It is huge, heavy machines.(B) It never changes position.(C) It floats slowly around the Earth.(D) It may cause problems for space shuttles.48. What has been done about the space trash problem?(A) Scientists have cleaned up most of the trash.(B) Large pieces of space trash are being closely watched.(C) Many nations have worked together to stop polluting space.(D) Ground stations are built to help store the trash properly in space.第49至52题为题组An alcohol breath test (ABT) is often used by the police to find out whether a person is drunk while driving. In the United States, the legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08% for people aged 21 years or older, while people under 21 are not allowed to drive a car with any level of alcohol in their body.A “positive” test result, a result over the legal limit, allows the police to arrest the driver. However, many people who tested positive on the test have claimed that they only drank a “non-alcoholic” energy drink. Can one of these energy drinks really cause someone to test positive on an ABT? Researchers in Missouri set up an experiment to find out.- 5 -102年学测第 6 页英文考科共7 页First, the amount of alcohol in 27 different popular energy drinks was measured. All but one had an alcohol level greater than 0.005%. In nine of the 27 drinks, the alcohol level was at least 0.096%. The scientists then investigated the possibility that these small levels of alcohol could be detected by an ABT. They asked test subjects to drink a full can or bottle of an energy drink and then gave each subject an ABT one minute and 15 minutes after the drink was finished.For 11 of the 27 energy drinks, the ABT did detect the presence of alcohol if the test was given within one minute after the drink was taken. However, alcohol could not be detected for any of the drinks if the test was given 15 minutes after the drink was consumed. This shows that when the test is taken plays a crucial role in the test result. The sooner the test is conducted after the consumption of these drinks, the more likely a positive alcohol reading will be obtained.49. For a person who just turned 20, what is the legal alcohol level allowed while driving in the US?(A) 0.000%. (B) 0.005%. (C) 0.080%. (D) 0.096%.50. What is the purpose of the Missouri experiment?(A) To introduce a new method of calculating blood alcohol levels.(B) To discover the relation between energy drinks and ABT test results.(C) To warn about the dangers of drinking energy drinks mixed with alcohol.(D) To challenge the current legal alcohol limit for drivers in the United States.51. What were the participants of the experiment asked to do after they finished their energy drink?(A) To line up in the laboratory. (B) To recall the drink brands.(C) To take an alcohol breath test. (D) To check their breath for freshness.52. What is the most important factor that affects the ABT test result for energy drink consumers?(A) The age of the person who takes the test. (B) The place where the test is given.(C) T he equipment that the test uses. (D) T he time when the test is taken.第53至56题为题组The majority of Indian women wear a red dot between their eyebrows. While it is generally taken as an indicator of their marital status, the practice is primarily related to the Hindu religion. The dot goes by different names in different Hindi dialects, and “bindi” is the one that is most commonly known. Traditionally, the dot carries no gender restriction: Men as well as women wear it. However, the tradition of men wearing it has faded in recent times, so nowadays we see a lot more women than men wearing one.The position of the bindi is standard: center of the forehead, close to the eyebrows. It represents a third, or inner eye. Hindu tradition holds that all people have three eyes: The two outer ones are used for seeing the outside world, and the third one is there to focus inward toward God. As such, the dot signifies piety and serves as a constant reminder to keep God in the front of a believer’s thoughts.Red is the traditional color of the dot. It is said that in ancient times a ma n would place a drop of blood between his wife’s eyes to seal their marriage. According to Hindu beliefs, the color red is believed to bring good fortune to the married couple. Today, people go with different colors depending upon their preferences. Women often wear dots that match the color of their clothes. Decorative or sticker bindis come in all sizes, colors and variations, and can be worn by young and old, married and unmarried people alike. Wearing a bindi has become more of a fashion statement than a religious custom.53. Why did people in India start wearing a red dot on their forehead?(A) To indicate their social rank. (B) To show their religious belief.(C) To display their financial status. (D) To highlight their family background.- 6 -第 7 页102年学测 共 7 页 英文考科- 7 - 54. What is the significance of the third eye in Hindu tradition?(A) To stay in harmony with nature.(B) To observe the outside world more clearly.(C) To pay respect to God.(D) To see things with a subjective view.55. Why was red chosen as the original color of the bindi?(A) The red dot represented the blood of God.(B) Red stood for a wife’s love for her husband.(C) The word “bindi” means “red” in some Hindi dialects.(D) Red was supposed to bring blessings to a married couple.56. Which of the following statements is true about the practice of wearing a bindi today?(A) Bindis are worn anywhere on the face now.(B) Bindis are now used as a decorative item.(C) Most Indian women do not like to wear bindis anymore.(D) Wearing a bindi has become more popular among Indian men.第贰部分：非选择题（占28分）1. 都会地区的高房价对社会产生了严重的影响。

In kitchens you will find measures for volume (measuring cups), mass (scales and weights), and temperature (cooking thermometers). Accurate measurements are 11 important for scientific experiments. In a laboratory, make sure your measure meets your needs. 12 using any thermometer, double check that it covers the right temperature 13 for your activity or experiment. A garden thermometer, 14 , will burst if you try to use it for boiling liquids.There are different systems of measures. Most scientists now use the International System of measures, with meters for length, kilograms for 15 , and seconds for time.

A case of museum feet makes one feel like saying: “This is 21 . I could have done the painting myself. When can we sit down? What time is it?”Studies of museum behavior show that the average visitor spends about four seconds looking at one object. For young visitors, the time span can be 22 shorter. Children are more interested in smells, sounds, and the “feel” of a place than looking at a work of art. If they stay in a museum too long, a feeling of boredom and monotony will build up, leading 23 toimpatience and fatigue.To 24 museum feet, try not to have children look at too many things in one visit.

There are about fifty animal figures 27 275 meters long, including a monkey, a spider, and an “owl man.” The last of these lines were drawn about 1,000 years ago. More 28 is the fact that they can be viewed only from the air. Some people believe the Nazca Indians were 29 able to fly, perhaps in balloons. Others say the lines were landing areas for alien spaceships. Maybe the lines were to carry water for farming, or were used as a calendar.

Up until the late 1970s, it had been common practice in the United States to automatically 31 custody to the mother when a divorce occurred.However, since the 1970s, this practice has been 32 . Most custody battles today are decided, in theory, on the basis of who is the more fit parent for the child. The reality, nevertheless, is that most women still win custody of their children in a 33 .This legal change was the result of the social changes that 34 in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s. These changes challenged many of the 35 roles men and women were expected to play. As a 36 , it is not uncommon nowadays to find women working outside their homes and being very 37 about their careers and personal lives. It is also not 38 to see men accepting roles that were once considered the exclusive domain of women, such as shopping for groceries, driving their children to and from school, or cleaning their homes.Because of the 39 in the divorce rate, the change in the roles that men and women are expected to play, and the changing attitude of the judicial system toward child custody, more men have started to 40 for and win custody of their children when divorce occurs.(A) award (B) challenged (C) concerned (D) consequence(E) divorce (F) fight (G) increase (H) took place(I) traditional (J) unusual四、篇章结构(10%)第41 至45 题为题组Many people say that e-mail is just a faster way to deliver letters. The fact is that letter writing and e-mail are completely different processes. Handwritten or typed, letters travel in envelopes through actual space and take time getting from one place to another. 41 . If I am writing on paper to my brother in Kenya, I will be less likely to complain about the breakfast I had this morning. I will probably write about my relationships and some things that I’ve been thinking about. 42 People tend to regard letters as important. My brother might save my letter; he might read it back to me years from now.43 It is instant, traveling from point to point. If you don’t print it out, the message doesn’t physically exist. With e-mail, geography is no obstacle and time is not important. 44 The ease of this kind of writing and sending probably makes for a different kind of communication. I can complain about the breakfast I had this morning or rattle on about friends and movies. That is because I am not so focused on style and profundity. 45 My brother might glance at my mail, have a laugh, and then delete it.(A) E-mail is different.(B) The downside is, I might be less likely to say something deeper.(C) The time and distance, as a matter of fact, influence the letter-writer.(D) I can zap a message to Kenya whenever I want to, and it gets there almost in a second.(E) I will also take more care with my style, trying to write in a way that is interesting and worthreading.五、阅读测验(22%)第 46 至 48 题为题组Rice balls with folded plastic wrappers separating the rice from the seaweed; a dozen kinds of cold tea in a dozen different bottles---enter any convenience store in Japan, and you’re immediately struck by the great variety and quality of the packaging!Japanese companies have been accused of over-packaging; but within the Japanese cultural context, that’s not really true. The Japanese tend to use more packaging because of a cultural emphasis on freshness and a lack of storage space at home. Moreover, they believe nice packaging adds value because it’s a strong signal of quality. What’s more, compared with Westerners, the Japanese are more connected with packaging as a symbol of appreciation, love and care. Packaging has, therefore, attained an important place in Japan ’s economy. The packaging market is worth over ￥7.4 trillion. New packaging is introduced to Japanese store shelves at a rate of ercent per year, the highest rate in the world. In such an environment, a product has to have more than just a nice graphic design to differentiate it from its shelf-mates. The product has to speak to the consumer’s needs with both personality and practical value. In this changing industry, nothing is really certain except one thing. You can be sure that the goods out there on display on the shelves of the convenience store will soon be looking rather different.46. This passage is most likely taken from a ________.(A) cookbook (B) user’s manual (C) consumer report (D) fashion magazine47. Which of the following is NOT a reason for the Japanese to use more packaging?(A) Packaging helps to keep food fresh.(B) Packaging helps the Japanese to show appreciation.(C) The Japanese consider packaging a symbol of quality.(D) Packaging is a way to compete with Westerners in economy.48. The word “shelf -mates” in the second paragraph most likely refers to ________.(A) co-workers on the job (B) other products in the store(C) customers’ need for other products (D) other graphic designs on the package第 49 至 52 题为题组Native Americans could not understand the white man’s war on the wolf. The Lakota, Blackfeet, and Shoshone, among other tribes, considered the wolf their spiritual brother. They respected the animals’ endurance and hunting ability, and warriors p rayed to hunt like them. They draped themselves in wolf skins and paws, hoping they could acquire the wolf’s hunting skills of stealth, courage, and stamina. Plains Indians wore wolf-skin disguises on raiding parties. Elite Comanche warriors were called wolves.The white settlers’ war on the wolf raged on. Western ranchers continued to claimthatthousands of cattle were killed every year by wolves. In 1884, Montana created its first wolf bounty---one dollar for every dead wolf, which increased to eight dollars in 1893. Over a period of thirty-five years, more than eighty thousand wolf carcasses were submitted for bounty payments in Montana. Moreover, the government even provided free poison. Finally, in 1914, ranchers persuaded the United States Congress to provide funds to exterminate wolves on public lands.The last wolves in the American West died hard. No place was safe, not even the nation’s first national park, Yellowstone. The park was created in 1872, and from its very beginning, poisoned carcasses were set out to kill wolves. Nearly 140 wolves were killed by park rangers in Yellowstone from 1914 to 1926. In October 1926, two wolf cubs were trapped near a bison carcass. They were the last animals killed in the park’s wolf control programs.Ranchers had won the war against the wolf. Only in the northern woods of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan could the howl of native gray wolves be heard. The vast lands of the American West fell silent.

The smiles of the babies in the pictures greatly shocked the public and were widely circulated on the Internet.For the past two years, the doctor has used the medical facility in the center and has offered state-of-the-art 3-D/4-D scanning services to expectant parents. He performs an average of 30 scans a week. His outspoken enthusiasm for this blessed technology is refreshing. “Parents love them,” he said. “I hear so many couples laughing when they see the pictures---it’s wonderful.”How have pro-abortion activists reacted after seeing the happy, grinning photos of these unborn babies?Anne Carp, a commentator for the Guardian who bills herself as a “medical sociologist,” says the photos are simply misleading, and ridicules the anti-abortion lobby for being “intoxicated withevidence of a fetus’ humanity.” Australian Birth Control Services medical director Geoff Brodie complained that the photos “will be picked up by those groups that use anything and everything to stop abortions but ignore the fact that women have a right to choice.”In America, the pro-abortion lobby is having the same hostile reaction. It was bad enough when conventional 2-D sonograms revealed unborn hearts beating and blurry hands waving, but the abortionists are absolutely aghast over rapidly spreading access to 3-D/4-D ultrasound technology. A writer for the liberal American Prospect said that the new technology “blurred the distinction between a fetus and a newborn infant.”Despite these strong reactions from the pro-abortionists, the right of life takes precedence over a woman’s right to choice. After all, nothing can be more persuasive than an unborn child’s beaming face.53. What is the author’s attitude toward abortion?(A) For it. (B) Against it. (C) Neutral. (D) Indifferent.54. How have the pro-abortionists reacted to the photos of smiling unborn babies?(A) All with disbelief and scorn.(B) All with applause and appreciation.(C) Some with respect and some with scorn.(D) Some with applause and some with disappointment.55. Which of the following people is most likely an anti-abortionist?(A) Anne Carp. (B) Geoff Brodie.(C) Stuart Campbell. (D) A writer for the American Prospect.56. Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?(A) It is wrong for doctors to publish pictures of unborn babies.(B) For anti-abortionists a fetus is not the same as a living human being.(C) Everybody agrees that a woman can decide whether to abort or not.(D) Anti-abortionists are pleased with the ultrasound photos of unborn babies.第二部分：非选择题( 占28 分)一、英文翻译(8%)1、为提供一个无烟的用餐环境，许多餐厅不允许室内抽烟。

Thus, it can be nurtured and encouraged.It is believed that taking breaks from a problem can help 17 a moment of insight or stimulate new ideas. Unconventional solutions can also be explored. That is why some of the most successful companies in the world, such as 3M and Google, encourage their employees to 18 all sorts of relaxing activities, such as playing pinball and wandering about the campus. During such breaks, the mind turns inward, 19 it can subconsciously puzzle over subtle meanings and connections.Another way to increase creativity is to take risks.

This kind of dream is called a “lucid dream.” The term “lucid” means clear; lucid dreamers know that they are dreaming and 26 they are dreaming of. It is different from daydreaming. When a person is having a lucid dream, the person’s body is 27 ; when a person daydreams, his/her body is awake. Thus, daydreams are really just waking thoughts. In lucid dreams, however, we are completely immersed in the dream world.Yet, lucid dreaming is 28 just having a clear dream.

There are several 31 stories about the origin of the fortune cookie. None of them, however, has been proven to be entirely true.One of these stories 32 the cookie’s origin back to 13th- and 14th-century China, which was then occupied by the Mongols. According to the legend, notes of 33 plans for a revolution to overthrow the Mongols were hidden in mooncakes that would ordinarily have been stuffed with sweet bean paste. The revolution turned out to be 34 and eventually led to the formation of the Ming Dynasty. This story may sound highly credible, but there seems to be no solid evidence that it inspired the creation of the 35 we know of today as fortune cookies.Another 36 claims that David Jung, a Chinese immigrant living in Los Angeles, created the fortune cookie in 1918. Concerned about the poor people he saw wandering near his shop, he made cookies and passed them out free on the streets. Each cookie 37 a strip of paper inside with an inspirational Bible quotation on it.However, the more generally accepted story is that the fortune cookie first 38 in either 1907 or 1914 in San Francisco, created by a Japanese immigrant, Makoto Hagiwara. The fortune cookie was based on a Japanese snack, but Hagiwara sweetened the recipe to appeal to American 39 . He enclosed thank-you notes in the cookies and served them to his guests with tea. Within a few years, Chinese restaurant owners in San Francisco had copied the recipe and 40 the thank-you notes with fortune notes. Such fortune cookies became common in Chinese restaurants in the U.S. after World War II.(A) account (B) appeared (C) competing (D) contained (E) replaced(F) secret (G) successful (H) tastes (I) traces (J) treats四、閱讀測驗（占32分）第41至44題為題組For more than two hundred years, the White House has stood as a symbol of the United States Presidency, the U.S. government, and the American people. In 1790, President George Washington declared that the federal government would reside in a district “not exceeding ten miles square … on the river Potomac.” As preparations began, a competition was held to find a builder of the “President’s House.” Nine proposals were submitted, and the Irish-born architect James Hoban won the gold medal for his practical and handsome design. Construction began when the first cornerstone was laid in October of 1792. Although President Washington oversaw the construction of the house, he never lived in it. It was not until 1800, when the White House was nearly completed, that its first residents, President John Adams and his wife Abigail, moved in.American presidents can express their individual style in how they decorate the house and in how they receive the public. Thomas Jefferson held the first inaugural open house in 1805; many of those who attended the swearing-in ceremony at the U.S. Capitol simply followed him home. President Jefferson also opened the house for public tours, and it has remained open, except during wartime, ever since. In addition, Jefferson welcomed visitors to annual receptions on New Year’s Day and on the Fourth of July. Abraham Lincoln did the same, but then the inaugural crowds became far too large for the White House to accommodate comfortably, and this also created a security issue. It was not until Grover Cleveland’s first presidency that some effective crowd control measures were implemented to address the problem caused by this practice.At various times in history, the White House has been known as the “President’s Palace,” the “President’s House,” and the “Executive Mansion.” President Theodore Roosevelt officially g ave the White House its current name in 1901.41. What is this passage mainly about?(A) The design of the White House. (B) The location of the White House.(C) The importance of the White House. (D) The history of the White House.42. What does “this practice” refer to in the second paragraph?(A) Holding an inaugural open house.(B) Accommodating the crowds comfortably.(C) Decorating the White House.(D) Joining in the swearing-in ceremony.43. Who initiated the construction of the White House?(A) John Adams. (B) James Hoban.(C) George Washington. (D) Thomas Jefferson.44. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about the White House?(A) The White House has had several names.(B) The designer of the White House was an American president.(C) People were not allowed to visit the White House during wartime.(D) The White House is located in a district not larger than ten miles square.第45至48題為題組West Nile is a tropical disease that begins in birds, which pass it on to mosquitoes that then go on to infect human beings with a bite. Most people who contract West Nile do not experience any symptoms at all, but, if they do, symptoms typically develop between 3 to 14 days after a mosquito bite. About 1 in 5 persons suffers fever, headaches, and body aches, usually lasting a week or so. A far less lucky 1 in 150 experiences high fever, tremors, paralysis, and coma. Some—especially the elderly and those with weak immune systems—die.That is what made the major outbreaks of West Nile in the U.S. in the summer of 2012 so scary. The situation was particularly bad in Dallas, Texas, where the West Nile virus killed 10 people and sickened more than 200. The city declared a state of emergency and began aerial spraying of a pesticide to kill the mosquitoes, even though residents argued that the pesticide could be more dangerous than the disease.Why was the summer of 2012 so hospitable to the West Nile virus and the mosquitoes that carry it? Blame the weather. An extremely mild winter allowed more mosquitoes than usual to survive, while the unusually high temperatures in that scorching summer further increased their number by speeding up their life cycle. The economic crisis may have also played a role: Homeowners who were not able to pay their bank loans were forced to abandon their properties, sometimes leaving behind swimming pools that made excellent mosquito breeding grounds.The severity of tropical diseases is also a matter of whether governments are capable—and willing—to defend their populations against infections. Dallas County was not doing some of the key things to slow the spread of West Nile, such as testing dead birds and setting mosquito traps to test for the presence of the disease. Tropical infections are thus as much related to government inaction as they are to climate.(A) West Nile and methods to fight it.(B) West Nile and governmental efficiency.(C) West Nile and the conditions its virus thrives in.(D) West Nile and its relation to tropical diseases.46. Which of the following statements is true about West Nile?(A) Its symptoms usually appear within two weeks.(B) It is spread through air and water in tropical areas.(C) Over 20% of people who contract it will suffer severe symptoms.(D) It comes from direct human contact with birds infected with the virus.47. What did Dallas County do to fight off West Nile?(A) They sprayed pesticide from the air.(B) They asked citizens to stay away from dead birds.(C) They encouraged citizens to get vaccinations.(D) They drained the swimming pools in the county.48. Which of the following is a reason why Dallas was hit most seriously in the U.S. in 2012?(A) The increasing population in Texas raised the risk of contracting the disease.(B) The government did not issue a warning about the disease in time.(C) The residents worried about the county’s decision and action.(D) The weather of the previous winter was not as cold as usual.第49至52題為題組Most parts of Taiwan have access to sufficient supplies of fresh water for drinking. But fresh water can be in short supply in many arid regions of the world such as Saudi Arabia, where there are limited water resources. As the world population continues to grow, shortages of fresh water will occur more often and the need for additional water supplies will become critical. Some may ask, “Since the ocean covers more than 70 percent of the Earth, why not just get drinking water from the ocean?”To turn seawater into fresh water, we need to remove the salt in seawater, that is, to desalinate seawater. The problem is that the desalination of water requires a lot of energy. Salt dissolves very easily in water, forming strong chemical bonds, and those bonds are difficult to break. The energy and technology to desalinate water are both expensive, and this means that desalinating water can be costly.There are environmental costs of desalination as well. Sea life can get sucked into desalination plants, killing small ocean creatures like baby fish and plankton, upsetting the food chain. Also, there is the problem of what to do with the separated salt, which is left over as a very concentrated brine. Pumping this super-salty water back into the ocean can harm local aquatic life. Reducing these impacts is possible, but it adds to the costs.Despite the economic and environmental hurdles, desalination is becoming increasingly attractive as human beings are using up fresh water from other sources. At present, desalinating seawater is the only viable way to provide water to growing populations in rural areas of the Middle East and North Africa. Therefore, the race is on to find a cheaper, cleaner, and more energy-efficient way of desalinating seawater, and promising new findings are being reported.49. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “arid” in the first paragraph?(A) Occupied. (B) Isolated. (C) Dry. (D) Remote.50. What is the second paragraph mainly about?(A) The high cost of desalinating seawater.(B) The major chemical characteristics of seawater.(C) The urgent need to turn seawater into fresh water.(D) The amount of energy produced in the desalination of seawater.51. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?(A) Mixing salt with water is not as easy as removing salt from seawater.(B) Desalinating seawater may kill some sea creatures and disturb the food chain.(C) Covering 70% of the Earth, the ocean has always satisfied human needs for water.(D) The increasing population in Saudi Arabia has resulted in shortages of fresh water.52. Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude toward the future of desalination?(A) Amazed. (B) Doubtful. (C) Conservative. (D) Hopeful.第53至56題為題組Four millennia ago, an ancient Babylonian wrote down what is possibly the first lullaby. It is a rather threatening lullaby, in which the baby is scolded for disturbing the house god with its crying and warned of terrifying consequences. It may have got the baby to sleep, but its message is far from comforting: If he/she does not stop crying, the demon will eat him/her. This lullaby may sound more scary than sleep-inducing, yet it is true that many lullabies—including those sung today—have dark undertones.Research has shown that lullabies, when used correctly, can soothe and possibly even help to heal an infant; b ut it is the caretaker’s voice and the rhythm and melody of the music that babies respond to, not the content of the song. Then, what is the function of the content? According to studies, some lullabies provide advice, like the Babylonian lullaby, and quite a few others offer the space to sing the unsung, say the unsayable. Lyrics to those lullabies can indeed be interpreted as a re flection of the caregiver’s emotions.Researchers believe that a large part of the function of lullabies is to help a mother vocalize her worries and concerns. The mother’s fear of loss especially makes sense since the infant/toddler years of life are fragile ones. Since there is a special physical bond between mother and child during this period, mothers feel they can sing to their child about their own fears and anxieties. Lullabies, therefore, serve as therapy for the mother.In addition, the songs are seemingly trying to work some magic—as if, by singing, the mother is saying, “Sadness has already touched this house; no need to come by again.”53. Which of the following titles best describes the main idea of this passage?(A) The Origin of Lullabies (B) The Functions of Lullabies(C) Threatening Lullabies (D) Sleep-Inducing Lullabies54. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “undertones” in the first paragraph?(A) Consequences. (B) Vocals. (C) Whispers. (D) Messages.55. What does the author use to support the idea that lullabies can have a soothing effect?(A) Research reports. (B) Examples found in history.(C) Stories of caretakers. (D) The author’s personal experiences.56. According to this passage, which of the following statements is true?(A) Scary lullabies better help babies fall asleep.(B) Mothers prefer to sing lullabies with a joyful melody.(C) Lullabies comfort not only the baby but also the mother.(D) Babies react to both the music and the lyrics of lullabies.第貳部分：非選擇題（占28分）一、中譯英（占8分）1. 近年來，有越來越多超級颱風，通常造成嚴重災害。

In kitchens you will find measures for volume (measuring cups), mass (scales and weights), and temperature (cooking thermometers). Accurate measurements are 11 important for scientific experiments. In a laboratory, make sure your measure meets your needs. 12 using any thermometer, double check that it covers the right temperature 13 for your activity or experiment. A garden thermometer, 14 , will burst if you try to use it for boiling liquids.There are different systems of measures. Most scientists now use the International System of measures, with meters for length, kilograms for 15 , and seconds for time. If the measures in your experiment show other units, appropriate conversion tables for different systems may prove to be very useful.11.

A case of museum feet makes one feel like saying: “This is 21 . I could have done the painting myself. When can we sit down? What time is it?”Studies of museum behavior show that the average visitor spends about four seconds looking at one object. For young visitors, the time span can be 22 shorter. Children are more interested in smells, sounds, and the “feel” of a place than looking at a work of art. If they stay in a museum too long, a feeling of boredom and monotony will build up, leading 23 to impatience and fatigue.To 24 museum feet, try not to have children look at too many things in one visit. It is reported that young visitors get more out of a visit if they focus on 25 nine objects. One and a half hours is the ideal time to keep their eyes and minds sharp, and their feet happy!21.

There are about fifty animal figures 27 275 meters long, including a monkey, a spider, and an “owl man.” The last of these lines were drawn about 1,000 years ago. More 28 is the fact that they can be viewed only from the air. Some people believe the Nazca Indians were 29 able to fly, perhaps in balloons. Others say the lines were landing areas for alien spaceships. Maybe the lines were to carry water for farming, or were used as a calendar. The only thing certain is that the Nazca lines remain one of the world’s most fascinating 30 mysteries.26. (A) circle (B) contain (C) cover (D) wrap27.

Up until the late 1970s, it had been common practice in the United States to automatically 31 custody to the mother when a divorce occurred.However, since the 1970s, this practice has been 32 . Most custody battles today are decided, in theory, on the basis of who is the more fit parent for the child. The reality, nevertheless, is that most women still win custody of their children in a 33 .This legal change was the result of the social changes that 34 in the United Statesduring the 1960s and 1970s. These changes challenged many of the 35 roles men and women were expected to play. As a 36 , it is not uncommon nowadays to find women working outside their homes and being very 37 about their careers and personal lives. It is also not 38 to see men accepting roles that were once considered the exclusive domain of women, such as shopping for groceries, driving their children to and from school, or cleaning their homes.Because of the 39 in the divorce rate, the change in the roles that men and women are expected to play, and the changing attitude of the judicial system toward child custody, more men have started to 40 for and win custody of their children when divorce occurs.(A) award (B) challenged (C) concerned (D) consequence(E) divorce (F) fight (G) increase (H) took place(I) traditional (J) unusual四、篇章结构(10%)第 41 至 45 题为题组Many people say thate-mail is just a faster way to deliver letters. The fact is that letter writing and e-mail are completely different processes. Handwritten or typed, letters travel in envelopes through actual space and take time getting from one place to another. 41 . If I am writing on paper to my brother in Kenya, I will be less likely to complain about the breakfast I had this morning. I will probably write about my relationships and some things that I’ve been thinking about. 42 People tend to regard letters as important. My brother might save my letter; he might read it back to me years from now.43 It is instant, traveling from point to point. If you don’t print it out, the message doesn’t physically exist. With e -mail, geography is no obstacle and time is not important. 44 The ease of this kind of writing and sending probably makes for a different kind of communication. I can complain about the breakfast I had this morning or rattle on about friends and movies. That is because I am not so focused on style and profundity. 45 My brother might glance at my mail, have a laugh, and then delete it.(A) E-mail is different.(B) The downside is, I might be less likely to say something deeper.(C) The time and distance, as a matter of fact, influence the letter-writer.(D) I can zap a message to Kenya whenever I want to, and it gets there almost in a second.(E) I will also take more care with my style, trying to write in a way that is interesting and worth reading.五、阅读测验(22%)第46 至48 题为题组Rice balls with folded plastic wrappers separating the rice from the seaweed; a dozen kinds of cold tea in a dozen different bottles---enter any convenience store in Japan, and you’re immediately struck by the great variety and quality of the packaging!Japanese companies have been accused of over-packaging; but within the Japanese cultural context, that’s not really true. The Japanese tend to use more packaging because of a cultural emphasis on freshness and a lack of storage space at home. Moreover, they believe nice packaging adds value because it’s a strong signal of quality. What’s more, compared with Westerners, the Japanese are more connected with packaging as a symbol of appreciation, love and care. Packaging has, therefore, attained an important place in Japan’s economy. The packaging market is worth over ￥7.4 trillion. New packaging is introduced to Japanese store shelves at a rate of 20 percent per year, the highest rate in the world. In such an environment, a product has to have more than just a nice graphic design to differentiate it from its shelf-mates. The product has to speak to the consumer’s needs with both personality and practical value. In this changing industry, nothing is really certain except one thing. You can be sure that the goods out there on display on the shelves of the convenience store will soon be looking rather different.46. This passage is most likely taken from a ________.(A) cookbook (B) user’s manual (C) consumer report (D) fashion magazine47. Which of the following is NOT a reason for the Japanese to use more packaging?(A) Packaging helps to keep food fresh.(B) Packaging helps the Japanese to show appreciation.(C) The Japanese consider packaging a symbol of quality.(D) Packaging is a way to compete with Westerners in economy.48. The word “shelf-mates” in the second paragraph most likely refers to ________.(A) co-workers on the job (B) other products in the store(C) customers’ need for other products (D) other graphic designs on the package第49 至52 题为题组Native Americans could not understand the white man’s war on the wolf. The Lakota, Blackfeet, and Shoshone, among other tribes, considered the wolf their spiritual brother. They respected the animals’ endurance and hunting ability, a nd warriors prayed to hunt like them. They draped themselves in wolf skins and paws, hoping they could acquire the wolf’s hunting skills of stealth, courage, and stamina. Plains Indians wore wolf-skin disguises on raiding parties. Elite Comanche warriors were called wolves.The white settlers’ war on the wolf raged on. Western ranchers continued to claim that thousands of cattle were killed every year by wolves. In 1884, Montana created its first wolfbounty---one dollar for every dead wolf, which increased to eight dollars in 1893. Over a period of thirty-five years, more than eighty thousand wolf carcasses were submitted for bounty payments in Montana. Moreover, the government even provided free poison. Finally, in 1914, ranchers persuaded the United States Congress to provide funds to exterminate wolves on public lands.The last wolves in the American West died hard. No place was safe, not even the nation’s first national park, Yellowstone. The park was created in 1872, and from its very beginning, poisoned carcasses were set out to kill wolves. Nearly 140 wolves were killed by park rangers in Yellowstone from 1914 to 1926. In October 1926, two wolf cubs were trapped near a bison carcass. They were the last animals killed in the park’s wolf control pro grams.Ranchers had won the war against the wolf. Only in the northern woods of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan could the howl of native gray wolves be heard. The vast lands of the American West fell silent. The country had lost its greatest predator.49. The white man tried to kill the gray wolf because ________.(A) it attacked people (B) it damaged the crops(C) it was adored by the Indians (D) it threatened the life of his livestock50. This passage was most likely written by someone who ________.(A) liked hunting wild animals(B) made laws against the gray wolf(C) advocated the protection of the gray wolf(D) appreciated the gray wolf’s hunting skills51. What was an important reason for the fast disappearance of the wolf?(A) The wolf could not have the cattle as food.(B) The Indians killed the wolves for their skins.(C) National park rangers killed most of the wolves.(D) The government encouraged the killing of wolves.52. The Indians respected the wolf because it _______.(A) was good at hunting (B) was good at disguising(C) had beautiful skins and paws (D) was an enemy to the white man第53 至56 题为题组Recently, Dr. Stuart Campbell of a private health center in London published some ultrasound images of unborn babies between 26 and 34 weeks. The smiles of the babies in the pictures greatly shocked the public and were widely circulated on the Internet.For the past two years, the doctor has used the medical facility in the center and has offered state-of-the-art 3-D/4-D scanning services to expectant parents. He performs an average of 30 scans a week. His outspoken enthusiasm for this blessed technology is refreshing. “Parents love them,” he said. “I hear so many couples laughing when they see the pictures---it’s wonderful.”How have pro-abortion activists reacted after seeing the happy, grinning photos of these unborn babies?Anne Carp, a commentator for the Guardian who bills herself as a “medical sociologist,” says the photos are simply misleading, and ridicules the anti-abortion lobby for being “intoxicated with evidence of a fetus’ humanity.” Australian Birth Control Services medical director Geoff Brodiecomplained that the photos “will be picked up by those groups that use anything and everything to st op abortions but ignore the fact that women have a right to choice.”In America, the pro-abortion lobby is having the same hostile reaction. It was bad enough when conventional 2-D sonograms revealed unborn hearts beating and blurry hands waving, but the abortionists are absolutely aghast over rapidly spreading access to 3-D/4-D ultrasound technology. A writer for the liberal American Prospect said that the new technology “blurred the distinction between a fetus and a newborn infant.”Despite these strong reactions from the pro-abortionists, the right of life takes precedence over a woman’s right to choice. After all, nothing can be more persuasive than an unborn child’s beaming face.53. What is the author’s attitude toward abortion?(A) For it. (B) Against it. (C) Neutral. (D) Indifferent.54. How have the pro-abortionists reacted to the photos of smiling unborn babies?(A) All with disbelief and scorn.(B) All with applause and appreciation.(C) Some with respect and some with scorn.(D) Some with applause and some with disappointment.55. Which of the following people is most likely an anti-abortionist?(A) Anne Carp. (B) Geoff Brodie.(C) Stuart Campbell. (D) A writer for the American Prospect.56. Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?(A) It is wrong for doctors to publish pictures of unborn babies.(B) For anti-abortionists a fetus is not the same as a living human being.(C) Everybody agrees that a woman can decide whether to abort or not.(D) Anti-abortionists are pleased with the ultrasound photos of unborn babies.第二部分：非选择题( 占28 分)一、英文翻译(8%)1、为提供一个无烟的用餐环境，许多餐厅不承诺室内抽烟。

Today, there are over 420 submarine cables 16 , stretching over 700,000 miles around the world. It is not a new phenomenon, 17 . The first transcontinental cable—laid in 1854—ran from Ireland to Newfoundland, and made telegraph communication possible between England and Canada. Currently, the world’s highest-capacity undersea Internet cable is a 5,600-mile link between the US and Japan. 18 named “FASTER,” the cable connects Oregon in the US with Japan and Taiwan.The submarine cables require extra 19 to install.

A 0.75-mile-long tramway takes visitors to the top of the hill. At the top, four exhibit pavilions and a visitor center form the heart of an eleven-building complex. The museum was originally constructed to 21 the vast art collection belonging to oil tycoon J. Paul Getty. Today, it is stocked with so many art works that the exhibit arenas can show just a part of them at a time, making the 22 special exhibitions a highlight of any visit to the Getty.- 2 -第 3 頁108年指考共7 頁英文考科- 3 -T he Center’s award-winning architect, Richard Meier, did an outstanding job of creating a publicspace that has 23 many visitors. Visitors go to the Getty thinking they are visiting a museum with works of art on the inside. What they discover instead is a work of art with a museum inside. The idea is interesting: The outdoor space can be a completely satisfying 24 experience.M eier took a few basic 25 : metal, stone and glass. Working with a billion-dollar budget, he combined them to create a work of architecture that can excite visitors as much as the art collection inside does. Around every corner and at every 26 , there is a new view to enchant guests. And then, just when they think they have seen it all, a new fountain or landscape pops up.The building stone is travertine, 27 from Italy, the same source as for the historic buildings in Rome. A special cutting process exposes the fossils long buried inside the stone, which reveals the delicate treasures 28 under the rough surface.

He was sent off to attend university in Italy, studying mathematics and optics, and canon law. Returning from his studies abroad, Copernicus was appointed to an administrative position in the cathedral of Frauenburg. There he spent a sheltered and academic life for the rest of his days.31 He made his observations from a tower situated on the protective wall around the cathedral. His observations were made with the “bare eyeball,” so to speak, as a hundred years were to pass before the invention of the telescope. In 1530, Copernicus completed his famous work De Revolutionibus, which later played a major role in changing the philosophical view of humankind’s place in t he universe. 32 Copernicus died in 1543 and was never to know what a stir his work would cause. In his book, he asserted that the Earth rotated on its axis once daily and traveled around the Sun once yearly. 33 People then regarded the Earth as stationary, situated at the center of the universe, with the Sun and all the planets revolving around it. Copernicus’ theory challenged the long-held belief that God created the Heavens and the Earth, and could overturn the core values of the Catholic world. 34 Other ministers quickly followed suit, saying of Copernicus, “This fool wants to turn the whole art of astronomy upside down.”Ironically, Copernicus had dedicated his work to Pope Paul III. 35 The Church ultimately banned De Revolutionibus, and the book remained on the list of forbidden reading material for nearly three centuries thereafter.(A)Meanwhile, Copernicus was a lifelong member of the Catholic Church.(B)The book, however, wasn’t published until two months before his death.(C)If this act was an attempt to seek the Catholic Church’s approval, it was of no us e.(D)This went against the philosophical and religious beliefs held during medieval times.(E)Religious leader Martin Luther voiced his opposition to the sun-centered system model.(F)In his spare time, Copernicus studied the stars and the planets, applying his math knowledge to themysteries of the night sky.108年指考第 4 頁 英文考科 共 7 頁- 4 -gift to theA stable, cheap source of protein in Indonesia for centuries, tempeh is a fermented food originating from the island of Java. It was discovered during tofu production when discarded soybean residue caught microbial spores from the air and grew certain whitish fungi around it. When this fermented residue was found to be edible and tasty, people began producing it at home for daily consumption across the country. This has given rise to many variations in its flavor and texture throughout different Indonesian regions.Tempeh is high in protein and low in fat, and contains a host of vitamins. In fact, it is the only reported plant-based source of vitamin B12. Apart from being able to help reduce cholesterol, increase bone density, and promote muscle recovery, tempeh has a lot of polyphenols that protect skin cells and slow down the aging process. Best of all, with the same protein quality as meat and the ability to take on many flavors and textures, tempeh is a great meat substitute—something the vegetarian and vegan communities have been quick in adopting.In addition to its highly nutritional makeup, tempeh has diverse preparation possibilities. It can be served as a main course (usually in curries) or a side dish to be eaten with rice, as a deep-fried snack, or even blended into smoothies and healthy juices. Though not yet a popular food among international diners, you may find tempeh -substituted BLTs (bacon, lettuce, tomato sandwiches) in San Francisco as easily as you can find vegetarian burgers with tempeh patties in Bali.For the people of Indonesia, tempeh is not just food but also has cultural value. With the Indonesian traditional fabric batik being recognized by UNESCO as “Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity,” tempeh has great potential for this honor as well.36. What is the passage mainly about?(A) The preparation of a health food. (B) A traditional delicacy from Java.(C) A gourmet guide for vegetarians. (D) The cultural heritage of Indonesia.37. According to the passage, which of the following is true about tempeh ?(A) It is mainly served as a side dish. (B) It is discarded when fungi grow around it.(C) It is formed from fermented soybeans. (D) It has the same nutritional benefits as kimchi .38. What aspects of tempeh are discussed in paragraphs 2 to 4?(A) Origin → nutrition → cuisine. (B) Origin → cuisine → marketing.(C) Cuisine → nutrition → marketing. (D) Distribution → cuisine → nutrition.39. Which of the following can be inferred from this passage?(A) Senior citizens will eat tempeh as vitamin supplement.(B) Tempeh will soon be more popular than kimchi or miso .(C) The nutrition of tempeh will be reduced with mass production.(D) Tempeh is likely to be recognized as an international cultural symbol.第40至43題為題組When Dr. David Spiegel emerged from a three-hour shoulder surgery in 1972, he didn’t use any pain medication to recover. Instead, he hypnotized himself. It worked—to the surprise of everyone but Spiegel himself, who has studied hypnosis for 45 years.Hypnosis is often misunderstood as a sleep-like state in which a person is put to sleep and does whatever he is asked to do. But according to Dr. Spiegel, it is a state of highly focused attention and intense concentration. Being hypnotized, you tune out most of the stimuli around you. You focus intently on the subject at hand, to the near exclusion of any other thought. This trance-like state can be an effective tool to control pain, ease anxiety, and deal with stress.第 5 頁108年指考共7 頁英文考科- 5 -Not all people, however, are equally hypnotizable. In a recent study, Dr. Spiegel and his colleaguesfound that people who are easily hypnotized tend to be more trusting of others, more intuitive, and more likely to get caught up in a good movie. The research team compared people who were highly hypnotizable with those low in hypnotizability. Both groups were given fMRI scans during several different conditions: at rest, while recalling a memory, and during two sessions of hypnotism. The researchers saw some interesting changes in the brain during hypnosis—but only in the highly hypnotizable group. Specifically, there was a drop in activity in the part of the brain which usually fires up when there is something to worry about.This helps explain how hypnosis can have powerful effects, including reducing stress, anxiety, pain, and self-consciousness. Spiegel hopes that the practice can be used to replace painkillers. His own previous research has shown that when people in pain were taught self-hypnosis, they needed half the pain medication and suffered half the pain of those who were only given access to painkillers. However, more needs to be learned about hypnosis in order to harness its potential effects.40. How does the author begin the passage?(A) By giving a definition. (B) By mentioning an incident.(C) By providing statistics. (D) By comparing people’s responses.41. According to the passage, what is the goal of Dr. Spiegel’s work?(A) To explain the real cause of pain.(B) To help people concentrate on their job.(C) To explore how hypnosis can be used as a medical treatment.(D) To strengthen the brain’s functions to reduce psychological problems.42. According to Dr. Spiegel, which of the following is true when people are hypnotized?(A) They recall only happy memories. (B) Their mind is fixed only on what they are doing.(C) They do whatever they are told to do. (D) They have greater awareness of things around them.43. What can be inferred about highly hypnotizable people?(A) They tend to be isolated from the society.(B) They are more likely to fall asleep during the day.(C) They may easily identify themselves with characters in fictions.(D) They are more trustworthy than people who are less hypnotizable.第44至47題為題組In many languages, such as English, there is no straightforward way to talk about smell. For want of dedicated odor terminology, English speakers are often forced to use odor-sources such as “flowery” and “vanilla” and metaphors like “sweet” and “oriental” in their descriptions of smell.But the difficulty with talking about smell is not universal. The Maniq, a group of hunter-gatherers in southern Thailand, can describe smells using at least fifteen different terms, which express only smells and are not applicable across other sensory domains. In addition to Maniq, researchers found that there are also a dozen words for various smells in Jahai, a language spoken by a neighboring hunter-gatherer population.Interestingly, the difficulty for English speakers to translate smell directly into words seems to have very little to do with the nose’s actual capabilities. According to findings of a recent study, English speakers are capable of discriminating more than a trillion different odors. Then, why is there a gap between their ability to discriminate scent and their vocabulary? The researchers suggest that surroundings may play a significant role.108年指考第6 頁英文考科共7 頁Maniq and Jahai speakers live in tropical rainforest regions with a hunting-gathering lifestyle, and these two ethnic groups evaluate their surroundings through their noses to survive in nature. In an environment that is still largely untouched by humans, they are surrounded by smells at all times. They need to use their sense of smell to identify animals that they can hunt, and to recognize objects or events, such as spoiled food, that can pose a danger. Unlike the Maniq and the Jahai, many English speakers inhabit the post-industrial west and do not rely on smells to survive in their environment. This difference may explain the interesting linguistic phenomenon discussed above.44. What is the purpose of this passage?(A) To evaluate the languages used by different ethnic groups.(B) To prove how civilization slows down language development.(C) To describe how terms of smell are found in different languages.(D) To point out the link between language use and the environment.45. What does the word “want” in the first paragraph most likely mean?(A) Lack. (B) Growth. (C) Loss. (D) Search.46. Which of the following is true about the Maniq?(A) They live in a different climate zone from the Jahai.(B) Their ability to smell is stronger than that of the Jahai.(C) They use smell terms to describe how food looks and tastes.(D) Their living environment is similar to that in earlier human history.47. Why is it difficult for English speakers to describe smells directly?(A) They cannot distinguish the smells around them.(B) The sense of smell is not critical for their survival.(C) They consider it uncivilized to talk about smells directly.(D) There are not many sources of odor in their surroundings.第48至51題為題組The okapi is a mammal living above the equator in one of the most biodiverse areas in central Africa. The animal was unknown to the western world until the beginning of the 20th century, and is often described as half-zebra, half-giraffe, as if it were a mixed-breed creature from a Greek legend. Yet its image is prevalent in the Democratic Republic of Congo—the only country in the world where it is found living in the wild. The okapi is to Congo what the giant panda is to China or the kangaroo to Australia.A lthough the okapi has striped markings resembling those of zebras’, it is most closely related to the giraffe. It has a long neck, and large, flexible ears. The face and throat are greyish white. The coat is a chocolate to reddish brown, much in contrast with the white horizontal stripes and rings on the legs and white ankles. Overall, the okapi can be easily distinguished from its nearest relative. It is much smaller (about the size of a horse), and shares more external similarities with the deer than with the giraffe. While both sexes possess horns in the giraffe, only males bear horns in the okapi.T he West got its first whiff of the okapi in 1890 when Welsh journalist Henry Morton Stanley had puzzled over a strange “African donkey” in his book. Other Europeans in Africa had also heard of an animal that they came to call the “African unicorn.” Explorers may have seen the fleeting view of the striped backside as the animal fled through the bushes, leading to speculation that the okapi was some sort of rainforest zebra. Some even believed that the okapi was a new species of zebra. It was only later, when okapi skeleton was analyzed, that naturalists realized they had a giraffe on their hands.I n 1987, the Okapi Wildlife Reserve was established in eastern Congo to protect this rare mammal. But decades of political turbulence has seen much of the Congo’s natural resources spin out of the government’s control, and okapi numbers have fallen by 50 percent since 1995. Today, only 10,000 remain.- 6 -第 7 頁108年指考 共 7 頁 英文考科- 7 - 48. Which of the following is a picture of an okapi? (A) (B) (C) (D) 49. Which of the following descriptions is true about the okapi? (A) It is an important symbol of Congo. (B) It is a mystical creature from a Greek legend.(C) It has been well protected since 1987. (D) It is more closely related to the zebra than the giraffe.50. What does the word “whiff” most likely mean in the third paragraph?(A) Firm belief. (B) Kind intention. (C) Slight trace. (D) Strong dislike.51. Which of the following can be inferred about Henry Morton Stanley?(A) He was the first European to analyze okapi skeleton.(B) He had found many new species of animals in Africa.(C) He did not know the “African donkey” in his book was the okapi .(D) He had seen the backside of an okapi dashing through the bushes.第貳部分：非選擇題（占28分）說明：本部分共有二題，請依各題指示作答，答案必須寫在「答案卷」上，並標明大題號（一、二），若因字跡潦草、未標示題號、標錯題號等原因，致評閱人員無法清楚辨識，其後果由考生自行承擔。

During such breaks, the mind turns inward, 19 it can subconsciously puzzle over subtle meanings and connections.Another way to increase creativity is to take risks.

This kind of dream is called a “lucid dream.”The term “lucid” means clear; lucid dreamers know that they are dreaming and 26 they are dreaming of. It is different from daydreaming. When a person is having a lucid dream, the person’s body is 27 ; when a person daydreams, his/her body is awake. Thus, daydreams are really just waking thoughts.

There are several 31 stories about the origin of the fortune cookie. None of them, however, has been proven to be entirely true.One of these stories 32 the cookie’s origin back to 13th- and 14th-century China, which was then occupied by the Mongols. According to the legend, notes of 33 plans for a revolution to overthrow the Mongols were hidden in mooncakes that would ordinarily have been stuffed with sweet bean paste. The revolution turned out to be 34 and eventually led to the formation of the Ming Dynasty. This story may sound highly credible, but there seems to be no solid evidence that it inspired the creation of the 35 we know of today as fortune cookies.Another 36 claims that David Jung, a Chinese immigrant living in Los Angeles, created the fortune cookie in 1918. Concerned about the poor people he saw wandering near his shop, he made cookies and passed them out free on the streets. Each cookie 37 a strip of paper inside with aninspirational Bible quotation on it.However, the more generally accepted story is that the fortune cookie first 38 in either 1907 or 1914 in San Francisco, created by a Japanese immigrant, Makoto Hagiwara. The fortune cookie was based on a Japanese snack, but Hagiwara sweetened the recipe to appeal to American 39 . He enclosed thank-you notes in the cookies and served them to his guests with tea. Within a few years, Chinese restaurant owners in San Francisco had copied the recipe and 40 the thank-you notes with fortune notes.

In 1790, President George Washington declared that the federal government would reside in a district “not exceeding ten miles square … on the river Potomac.” As preparations began, a competition was held to find a builder of the “President’s House.” Nine proposals were submitted, and the Irish-born architect James Hoban won the gold medal for his practical and handsome design. Construction began when the first cornerstone was laid in October of 1792. Although President Washington oversaw the construction of the house, he never lived in it. It was not until 1800, when the White House was nearly completed, that its first residents, President John Adams and his wife Abigail, moved in.American presidents can express their individual style in how they decorate the house and in how they receive the public. Thomas Jefferson held the first inaugural open house in 1805; many of those who attended the swearing-in ceremony at the U.S. Capitol simply followed him home. President Jefferson also opened the house for public tours, and it has remained open, except during wartime, ever since. In addition, Jefferson welcomed visitors to annual receptions on New Year’s Day and on the Fourth of July. Abraham Lincoln did the same, but then the inaugural crowds became far too large for the White House to accommodate comfortably, and this also created a security issue. It was not until Grover Cleveland’s first presidency that some effective crowd control measures were implemented to address the problem caused by this practice.At various tim es in history, the White House has been known as the “President’s Palace,” the “President’s House,” and the “Executive Mansion.” President Theodore Roosevelt officially gave the White House its current name in 1901.41. What is this passage mainly about?(A) The design of the White House. (B) The location of the White House.(C) The importance of the White House. (D) The history of the White House.42. What does “this practice” refer to in the second paragraph?(A) Holding an inaugural open house.(B) Accommodating the crowds comfortably.(C) Decorating the White House.(D) Joining in the swearing-in ceremony.43. Who initiated the construction of the White House?(A) John Adams. (B) James Hoban.(C) George Washington. (D) Thomas Jefferson.44. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about the White House?(A) The White House has had several names.(B) The designer of the White House was an American president.(C) People were not allowed to visit the White House during wartime.(D) The White House is located in a district not larger than ten miles square.第45至48題為題組West Nile is a tropical disease that begins in birds, which pass it on to mosquitoes that then go on to infect human beings with a bite. Most people who contract West Nile do not experience any symptoms at all, but, if they do, symptoms typically develop between 3 to 14 days after a mosquito bite. About 1 in 5 persons suffers fever, headaches, and body aches, usually lasting a week or so. A far less lucky 1 in 150 experiences high fever, tremors, paralysis, and coma. Some—especially the elderly and those with weak immune systems—die.That is what made the major outbreaks of West Nile in the U.S. in the summer of 2019 so scary. The situation was particularly bad in Dallas, Texas, where the West Nile virus killed 10 people and sickened more than 200. The city declared a state of emergency and began aerial spraying of a pesticide to kill the mosquitoes, even though residents argued that the pesticide could be more dangerous than the disease.Why was the summer of 2019 so hospitable to the West Nile virus and the mosquitoes that carry it? Blame the weather. An extremely mild winter allowed more mosquitoes than usual to survive, while the unusually high temperatures in that scorching summer further increased their number by speeding up their life cycle. The economic crisis may have also played a role: Homeowners who were not able to pay their bank loans were forced to abandon their properties, sometimes leaving behind swimming pools that made excellent mosquito breeding grounds.The severity of tropical diseases is also a matter of whether governments are capable—and willing—to defend their populations against infections. Dallas County was not doing some of the key things to slow the spread of West Nile, such as testing dead birds and setting mosquito traps to test for the presence of the disease. Tropical infections are thus as much related to government inaction as they are to climate.45. What is this passage mainly about?(A) West Nile and methods to fight it.(B) West Nile and governmental efficiency.(C) West Nile and the conditions its virus thrives in.(D) West Nile and its relation to tropical diseases.46. Which of the following statements is true about West Nile?(A) Its symptoms usually appear within two weeks.(B) It is spread through air and water in tropical areas.(C) Over 20% of people who contract it will suffer severe symptoms.(D) It comes from direct human contact with birds infected with the virus.47. What did Dallas County do to fight off West Nile?(A) They sprayed pesticide from the air.(B) They asked citizens to stay away from dead birds.(C) They encouraged citizens to get vaccinations.(D) They drained the swimming pools in the county.48. Which of the following is a reason why Dallas was hit most seriously in the U.S. in 2019?(A) The increasing population in Texas raised the risk of contracting the disease.(B) The government did not issue a warning about the disease in time.(C) The residents worried about the county’s decision and action.(D) The weather of the previous winter was not as cold as usual.第49至52題為題組Most parts of Taiwan have access to sufficient supplies of fresh water for drinking. But fresh water can be in short supply in many arid regions of the world such as Saudi Arabia, where there are limited water resources. As the world population continues to grow, shortages of fresh water will occur more often and the need for additional water supplies will become critical. Some may as k, “Since the ocean covers more than 70 percent of the Earth, why not just get drinking water from the ocean?”To turn seawater into fresh water, we need to remove the salt in seawater, that is, to desalinate seawater. The problem is that the desalination of water requires a lot of energy. Salt dissolves very easily in water, forming strong chemical bonds, and those bonds are difficult to break. The energy and technology to desalinate water are both expensive, and this means that desalinating water can be costly.There are environmental costs of desalination as well. Sea life can get sucked into desalination plants, killing small ocean creatures like baby fish and plankton, upsetting the food chain. Also, there is the problem of what to do with the separated salt, which is left over as a very concentrated brine. Pumping this super-salty water back into the ocean can harm local aquatic life. Reducing these impacts is possible, but it adds to the costs.Despite the economic and environmental hurdles, desalination is becoming increasingly attractive as human beings are using up fresh water from other sources. At present, desalinating seawater is the only viable way to provide water to growing populations in rural areas of the Middle East and North Africa. Therefore, the race is on to find a cheaper, cleaner, and more energy-efficient way of desalinating seawater, and promising new findings are being reported.49. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “arid” in the first paragraph?(A) Occupied. (B) Isolated. (C) Dry. (D) Remote.50. What is the second paragraph mainly about?(A) The high cost of desalinating seawater.(B) The major chemical characteristics of seawater.(C) The urgent need to turn seawater into fresh water.(D) The amount of energy produced in the desalination of seawater.51. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?(A) Mixing salt with water is not as easy as removing salt from seawater.(B) Desalinating seawater may kill some sea creatures and disturb the food chain.(C) Covering 70% of the Earth, the ocean has always satisfied human needs for water.(D) The increasing population in Saudi Arabia has resulted in shortages of fresh water.52. Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude toward the future of desalination?(A) Amazed. (B) Doubtful. (C) Conservative. (D) Hopeful.第53至56題為題組Four millennia ago, an ancient Babylonian wrote down what is possibly the first lullaby. It is a rather threatening lullaby, in which the baby is scolded for disturbing the house god with its crying and warned of terrifying consequences. It may have got the baby to sleep, but its message is far from comforting: If he/she does not stop crying, the demon will eat him/her. This lullaby may sound more scary than sleep-inducing, yet it is true that many lullabies—including those sung today—have dark undertones.Research has shown that lullabies, when used correctly, can soothe and possibly even help to heal an infant; b ut it is the caretaker’s voice and the rhythm and melody of the music that babies respond to, not the content of the song. Then, what is the function of the content? According to studies, some lullabies provide advice, like the Babylonian lullaby, and quite a few others offer the space to sing the unsung, say the unsayable. Lyrics to those lullabies can indeed be interpreted as a reflection of the caregiver’s emotions.Researchers believe that a large part of the function of lullabies is to help a mother vocalize her worries and concerns. The mother’s fear of loss especially makes sense since the infant/toddler years of life are fragile ones. Since there is a special physical bond between mother and child during this period, mothers feel they can sing to their child about their own fears and anxieties. Lullabies, therefore, serve as therapy for the mother.In addition, the songs are seemingly trying to work some magic—as if, by singing, the mother is saying, “Sadness has already touched this house; no need to come by again.”53. Which of the following titles best describes the main idea of this passage?(A) The Origin of Lullabies (B) The Functions of Lullabies(C) Threatening Lullabies (D) Sleep-Inducing Lullabies54. Which of the following i s closest in meaning to the word “undertones” in the first paragraph?(A) Consequences. (B) V ocals. (C) Whispers. (D) Messages.55. What does the author use to support the idea that lullabies can have a soothing effect?(A) Research reports. (B) Examples found in history.(C) Stories of caretakers. (D) The author’s personal experiences.56. According to this passage, which of the following statements is true?(A) Scary lullabies better help babies fall asleep.(B) Mothers prefer to sing lullabies with a joyful melody.(C) Lullabies comfort not only the baby but also the mother.(D) Babies react to both the music and the lyrics of lullabies.第貳部分：非選擇題（占28分）一、中譯英（占8分）1. 近年來，有越來越多超級颱風，通常造成嚴重災害。

One coldwinter night, he went into the bathroom to have a hot bath.
