第26至30題為題組

Research has proven that weather plays a part in our moods: Warmer temperatures and exposure to sunshine increase positive thinking, whereas cold, rainy days bring anxiety and fatigue. 26 , many people believe that bad weather can reduce productivity and efficiency.

There is, however, a significant 27 between such beliefs and the actual effect of weather on people’s performance at work. Using empirical data from laboratory experiments 28 observations of a mid-sized Japanese bank in real life, researchers find that weather conditions indeed influence a worker’s focus. When the weather is bad, individuals tend to focus more on their work rather than thinking about activities they could 29 outside of work. But photos showing outdoor activities, such as sailing on a sunny day or walking in the woods, can greatly distract workers and thus 30 their productivity. The findings conclude that workers are actually most productive when the weather is lousy—and only if nothing reminds them of good weather.

研究已證明,天氣會影響我們的心情:暖和的氣溫和太陽的照射增加正面思考,反之,寒冷下雨的日子導致焦慮和疲倦。26.因此,很多人相信,壞天氣會降低生產力和效率。

然而,這種看法和天氣對人們工作表現的真實影響有很大的27.分歧。利用來自研究室實驗的實證數據,28.以及對某日本中型銀行實際工作情形的觀察,研究人員發現,天氣狀況確實影響員工專注焦點。天氣不好的時候,人們傾向較專注於工作,而非思考工作之外能29.從事的活動。但戶外活動的照片,如艷陽高照時航海或漫步林間,會讓員工大為分心,從而30.降低他們的生產力。這些發現推論出員工其實在天氣很糟時最有生產力的結論──而且必須在沒有任何東西讓他們想起好天氣的情況下。

26. (A) At most (B) In contrast (C) Literally (D) Accordingly

(A)至多 (B)相比之下 (C)照字面含義解讀 (D)因此

【解析】本題測驗副詞與文意理解。前句指出寒冷的雨天會造成人們感到焦慮與疲憊,本格後句敘述許多人相信惡劣的天氣會降低生產率與效率,可知後句文意承接前句,故答案應選(D) Accordingly。

27. (A) gap (B) link (C) clue (D) ratio

(A)分歧

(B)聯繫 (C)線索 (D)比率

【解析】本題測驗字義與文意理解。前句表示,許多人相信壞天氣會降低工作效率,由however可知本句文意有轉折。由文意推知,本句應是說明這種看法與天氣對人們工作表現的實際影響其實有很大的落差,故選(A) gap。

28. (A) out of (B) as well as (C) in case of (D) due to

(A)離開 (B)以及 (C)假如碰上 (D)因為

【解析】本格前為名詞研究室實驗,後為名詞對某日本中型銀行實際工作情形的觀察,可知本格應為可連接二個名詞的連接詞,故答案選(B) as well as。

29. (A) break off (B) approve of (C) engage in (D) take over

(A)停止講話 (B)贊許 (C)從事 (D)接管

【解析】本題測驗片語。由文意當天氣不好時,人們反而傾向於更專注於工作而非想著下班後可從事的活動,可知答案應選(C) engage in。

30. (A) reform (B) lower (C) switch (D) demand

(A)改革 (B)降低 (C)切換 (D)要求

【解析】由前句文意,戶外活動的照片會讓員工分心,可知因此會降低生產力,故答案為(B) lower。

三、文意選填(占10分)

說明:第31題至第40題,每題一個空格,請依文意在文章後所提供的(A)到(J)選項中分別選出最適當者,並將其英文字母代號畫記在答案卡之「選擇題答案區」。各題答對者,得1分;答錯、未作答或畫記多於一個選項者,該題以零分計算。

有些學者推論,洋蔥被用在死者身上,可能是因為洋蔥的強烈氣味據信會40.促使死者再度呼吸。而其他的研究人員相信,那是因為洋蔥以特殊療效聞名,這有助於來世。

35. . . . they likely would have viewed the _____ power of the vegetable as magical,空格前有定冠詞the,後有名詞power,應選形容詞,由前句指出古埃及人將洋蔥作為藥用,可知他們認為洋蔥有療效,答案應選(J) healing。

第41至44題為題組

Is your dog an Einstein or a Charmer? For US $60, a recently-founded company called Dognition will help you learn more about your dog’s cognitive traits. It offers an online test telling you about the brain behind the bark.

Dognition’s test measures a dog’s intellect in several aspects—from empathy to memory to reasoning skills. But don’t expect it to measure your pet’s IQ. Dr. Hare, one of the venture’s co-founders, says a dog’s intelligence can’t be described with a single number. Just as humans have a wide range of intelligences, so do dogs. The question is what type your dog relies on more.

After you plunk your money down, Dognition’s website will take you through a questionnaire about your dog: For example, how excited does your dog get around other dogs, or children? Do fireworks scare your pup? Then, Dognition guides you through tests that are as fun as playing fetch or hide-and-seek. At the end, you get a report of your dog’s cognitive profile.

Your dog could fall into one of nine categories: Ace, Stargazer, Maverick, Charmer, Socialite, Protodog, Einstein, Expert, or Renaissance Dog. That can give you something to brag about on Dognition’s Facebook page. It also can shed new light on why dogs do the things they do. For example, a Charmer is a dog that trusts you so much that it would prefer to solve problems using information you give it rather than information it can get with its own eyes.

Dognition helps people understand their dogs in ways that they have never been able to do. This new understanding can enrich the relationship between dogs and their owners.

你的狗是愛因斯坦還是迷人精?繳60美元,一家最近創立、叫做「犬認知」的公司會幫你更了解你家狗兒的認知特質。它提供一種線上測試,告訴你狗吠叫背後的想法。

「犬認知」的測試衡量一隻狗在各個面向的智商──從同理心、記憶力,到推理技巧。但別期望它能測量你家寵物的智商。該新創公司的共同創辦人之一黑爾博士說,一隻狗的智力無法用單一數字描述。正如同人類的聰明有很多種,狗也一樣。問題在於你家狗兒對何者仰賴較多。

在你砸錢下去後, 「犬認知」的官網會引導你回答有關你家狗兒的問卷:例如,你家的狗碰到其他狗兒或小孩時有多熱情?爆竹會嚇到你的狗嗎?然後,「犬認知」引導你進行測試,那些都很有趣,像是玩我丟你撿或躲貓貓。最後,你會得到一份關於你家狗兒認知概況的報告。

你的狗可能是下列九種之一:王牌狗、觀星狗、浪子狗、迷人狗、群眾狗、原狗、愛因斯坦狗、專家狗,或者人文狗。這可以給你一些在「犬認知」臉書專頁上吹噓的題材。這也可以說明狗兒的行事作風。例如,迷人狗非常信任你,寧可用你給予的訊息而非牠眼見為憑的訊息來解決問題。

「犬認知」幫助人們以過去做不到的方式了解他們的狗。新的理解可以增進狗兒和主人之間的關係。

第45至48題為題組

Capoeira is a martial art that combines elements of fight, acrobatics, drumming, singing, dance, and rituals. It involves a variety of techniques that make use of the hands, feet, legs, arms, and head. Although Capoeira appears dancelike, many of its basic techniques are similar to those in other martial arts.

Capoeira was created nearly 500 years ago in Brazil by African slaves. It is believed that the martial art was connected with tribal fighting in Africa, in which people fought body to body, without weapons, in order to acquire a bride or desired woman. In the sixteenth century, when the Africans were taken from their homes to Brazil against their will and kept in slavery, Capoeira began to take form among the community of slaves for self-defense. But it soon became a strong weapon in the life-or-death struggle against their oppressors. When the slave owners realized the power of Capoeira, they began to punish those who practiced it. Capoeiristas learned to camouflage the forbidden fights with singing, clapping, and dancing as though it were simply entertainment.

At first, Capoeira was considered illegal in Brazil. However, a man known as Mestre Bimba devoted a great deal of time and effort to convincing the Brazilian authorities that Capoeira has great cultural value and should become an official fighting style. He succeeded in his endeavor and transformed the martial art into Brazil’s national sport. He and Mestre Pastinha were the first to open schools, and the Capoeira tree grew, spreading its branches across the world. Nowadays, it is performed in movies and music clips. Capoeira is also believed to have influenced several dancing styles like breaking and hip-hop.

卡波耶拉是一種武術,結合了打鬥、雜技、擊鼓、唱歌、舞蹈和儀式。它涉及很多運用到雙手、雙腳、雙腿、雙臂和頭部的技巧。雖然卡波耶拉看起來像跳舞,它的許多基本技巧類似其他武術。

卡波耶拉是近500年前非洲黑奴在巴西所創。據信,這種武術和非洲部落的爭鬥有關,大家近身搏擊,沒有武器,以搶奪新娘或愛慕的女人。16世紀,非洲人被強行帶離家園、送至巴西為奴,卡波耶拉開始在黑奴社區成形,目的是自衛,但很快變成在生死關頭掙扎、對抗壓迫者的強力武器。當蓄奴者瞭解到卡波耶拉的力量,他們開始處罰修習卡波耶拉的人。卡波耶拉習武者學會用唱歌、擊掌和跳舞來偽裝這種遭到禁止的格鬥,仿佛這只是單純的娛樂。

起初,卡波耶拉在巴西被視為非法運動。然而,一位Bimba師父花了大量時間和精力,讓巴西當局相信,卡波耶拉有很高的文化價值,應成為正式的格鬥風格。他成功的把這種武術變成巴西的國家運動。他和Pastinha師父最先開班授課,而後卡波耶拉的樹長大了,並且在全球各地開枝散葉。今日,卡波耶拉出現在電影和音樂的短片。卡波耶拉據信也影響好幾種舞蹈風格,像是霹靂舞和嘻哈舞。

(B) Sweeping with the legs.

(C) Stabbing with swords.

(D) Striking with the hands.

下列何者可能不會在卡波耶拉的表演中出現?

(C) 用劍戳刺。 (D) 用手擊。

【說明】第二段的第二句提及卡波耶拉的動作不使用武器,並且第二段的末 句說明卡波耶拉以唱歌、擊掌和跳舞來偽裝,因此得知用劍戳刺不屬於卡波耶拉的動作,答案選(C)。

第49至52題為題組

Winslow Homer (1836-1910) is regarded by many as the greatest American painter of the nineteenth century. Born and raised in Boston, he began his career at age eighteen in his hometown, working as an apprentice at a printing company. Skilled at drawing, he soon made a name for himself making illustrations for novels, sheet music, magazines, and children’s books.

He then moved to New York City, where he worked as a freelance illustrator with Harper’s Weekly, a popular magazine of the time, and began painting. Homer was assigned to cover the inauguration of President Lincoln and, later, the Civil War. His pictures of the Union troops won international recognition. Homer moved to England and, after a two-year stay, returned to America. He settled permanently in Maine in 1883.

From the late 1850s until his death in 1910, Winslow Homer produced a body of work distinguished by its thoughtful expression and its independence from artistic conventions. A man of multiple talents, Homer excelled equally in the arts of illustration, oil painting, and watercolor. Many of his works—depictions of children at play and in school, farm girls attending to their work, hunters and their prey—have become classic images of nineteenth-century American life. Others speak to more universal themes such as the primal relationship of humans to nature.

This two-week exhibition highlights a wide and representative range of Homer’s art. It shows his extraordinary career from the battlefields, farmland, and coastal villages of America, to the North Sea fishing village of Cullercoats, the rocky coast of Maine, the Adirondacks, and the Caribbean. The exhibition offers viewers an opportunity to experience and appreciate the breadth of his remarkable artistic achievement.

Winslow Homer(1836-1910)被許多人視為19世紀美國最偉大的畫家。他在波士頓出生和成長,18歲在家鄉踏入職涯,到印刷公司當學徒。他擅於繪畫,很快以替小說、樂譜、雜誌和童書畫插圖,打響名號。

他後來搬至紐約市,在當時很受歡迎的《哈潑周刊》當自由插畫家,並開始作畫。Homer被指派報導林肯總統就職典禮,以及之後的內戰。他畫的聯邦軍獲國際肯定。Homer曾移居英國,待了兩年後又重返美國。於1883年定居緬因州。

自1850年代後期至1910年過世期間,Homer有許多作品,以細膩的表達和不落俗套聞名。Homer有眾多天份,插畫、油畫和水彩的表現同樣出色。他的許多作品──描繪玩耍和上課的孩童、專心工作的農家女孩、獵人和獵物──都成為19世紀美國生活的經典印象。其他作品則觸及較普遍的主題,例如人類和大自然之間的根本關係。

此次為期兩周的展覽呈現多樣且具代表性的Homer畫作,其顯示他成就不凡的職業生涯──從美國戰地、農地、沿海村莊,到卡勒科茨的北海漁村、緬因州的岩岸、阿迪朗達克山脈和加勒比海地區。這次展覽提供參觀者一個機會,體驗及欣賞他非凡藝術成就之博大。

第53至56題為題組

Tea, the most typical English drink, became established in Britain because of the influence of a foreign princess, Catherine of Braganza, the queen of Charles II. A lover of tea since her childhood in Portugal, she brought tea-drinking to the English royal court and set a trend for the beverage in the seventeenth century. The fashion soon spread beyond the circle of the nobility to the middle classes, and tea became a popular drink at the London coffee houses where people met to do business and discuss events of the day. Many employers served a cup of tea to their workers in the middle of the morning, thus inventing a lasting British institution, the “tea break.” However, drinking tea in social settings outside the workplace was beyond the means of the majority of British people. It came with a high price tag and tea was taxed as well.

Around 1800, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, Anne Maria, began the popular practice of “afternoon tea,” a ceremony taking place at about four o’clock. Until then, people did not usually eat or drink anything between lunch and dinner. At approximately the same time, the Earl of Sandwich popularized a new way of eating bread—in thin slices, with something (e.g., jam or cucumbers) between them. Before long, a small meal at the end of the afternoon, involving tea and sandwiches, had become part of the British way of life.

As tea became much cheaper during the nineteenth century, its popularity spread right through all corners of the British society. Thus, tea became Britain’s favorite drink. In working-class households, it was served with the main meal of the day, eaten when workers returned home after a day’s labor. This meal has become known as “high tea.”

Today, tea can be drunk at any time of the day, and accounts for over two-fifths of all beverages consumed in Britain—with the exception of water.

茶是最典型的英國飲料,因為受到一位外國公主,布拉干薩的Catherine,也就是查爾斯二世皇后的影響而深植英國。她自小在葡萄牙就愛喝茶,她將喝茶習慣引入英國皇室宮廷,在十七世紀帶動此一飲料的風潮。這種流行很快傳播至王公貴族之外的中產階級,茶變成倫敦咖啡館的人氣飲品,那裡是大家見面談生意和討論時事的地方。許多雇主在早晨過一半的時候,提供一杯茶給旗下員工,因此形成英國歷久不衰的習俗「茶點時間」。然而,在工作以外的社交場合喝茶超過大多數英國人的財力。茶不僅貴,而且要扣稅。

1800年左右,第七世Bedford公爵夫人Anne Maria帶動蔚為流行的「下午茶」的慣例,約四點左右進行。在這之前,大家並不習慣在午、晚餐之間進食。大約同時期,Sandwich伯爵普及了一種麵包新吃法──切成薄片,中間夾料(例如果醬或黃瓜)。沒多久,下午結束時有茶、有三明治的一餐點心,就變成英式生活的一部分。

由於茶在十九世紀變得便宜許多,它的人氣擴散至英國社會各個角落。茶因此變成英國最喜愛的飲品。在勞工階級家庭,茶會和工人做完一天工後回家吃的主餐一起端上桌。這一餐就變成「高(桌)茶」。

時至今日,一天之內無時無刻都能飲茶,它在英國所有消耗掉的飲料中占比超過五分之二──水未計入其內。

(B) British people had tea breaks twice a day in the eighteenth century.

(C) Princess Catherine brought tea to England after visiting Portugal.

( 第一段的第二句說明,Catherine公主將自小在家鄉葡萄牙就喜歡喝茶的習慣帶到英國,並非在她訪問完葡萄牙而將茶帶到英國,(C)不可選。

3. 在本次閱測中,第一篇對於狗認知測驗的介紹段落分明,學生若能善用閱讀主題句的技巧即能快速定位找出答案,42題判斷細節的題目較難,需要仔細閱讀文意才能作答。第二篇介紹巴西戰舞卡波耶拉的歷史,主題清楚,段落依時間順序寫成,必須注意閱讀細節,如46題的答題不可錯過關鍵字without weapons,47題判斷作者態度題較難。近年偶爾會出現此類題目,學生平時閱讀完文章可作探討作者態度的練習。第三篇簡介美國畫家Winslow Homer與其畫風,段落依照時間順序發展。49題的文章出處題必須搭配文章內容並仔細閱讀完選項才能正確作答。第四篇敘述飲茶習慣在英國的演變史,文章亦依照時間順序寫成,段落清楚,但對於不同飲茶習慣(afternoon tea、high tea)的描述細節甚多,必須仔細閱讀、小心作答。55、56題較難,均須深入細節。

4. 本次閱讀測驗以主旨題、細節題、定義題、推論題為主要方向,教師平時可讓學生多加練習此類題目。另外,今年也出現段落發展判斷題與對於說話者態度的判斷題,教師可提醒學生平時在閱讀中訓練判斷力。

5. 教師可鼓勵學生平時閱讀遇到生字時多練習從上下文推論意思,以應付測驗語意的題目。

6. 教師可提醒學生在答題前先掃瞄題型,判斷何者需用略讀技巧,何者需要閱讀全文,搭配主題句定位的策略以便縮短答題時間。

◎第二部份 非選擇題

第一圖

It was a beautiful Sunday. The sun shone brightly in the clear blue sky and the fresh breeze gently blew. What a perfect day for a trip! Having been occupied with work for the past few weeks, Jason promised his family a fun trip to the zoo. Helena got up early to make delicious sandwiches, and little Amy got so excited that she barely had no sleep. Humming his favorite song and put the suitcase and the picnic basket into the trunk of his car, Jason was delighted and satisfied to see the smiles on Helena’s and Amy’s faces. They had been looking forward to this trip for so long, after all.

第二圖

Soon, their smiling faces, however, turned to be long ones when they got stuck in the severe traffic congestion on their way to the zoo. Despite feeling less and less patient, they had no choice but to slowly move forward with the traffic wave. Finally, after two hours’ long drive, they arrived at the destination.

第三圖

To their surprise, there was another long queue in front of the zoo! It looked as if the beautiful sunshine had driven everybody out to the zoo. Seeing the crowds, Helena disappointedly suggested that they cancel the trip.

第四圖

On their way home, the burst of guilt distracted Jason and led him to the wrong direction. It was not until he saw a meadow instead of a highway did he realized they got lost. Just when he was about to turn around, Amy shouted, “Look! Flocks of sheep!” With Amy’s raising voice, the couple’s moods got uplifted. Smiling and nodding to each other, Jason stopped the car and Helena took the picnic basket out. Then, all the three people decided to visit the “alternative” zoo and enjoy their family day to the fullest.
