William Shakespeare is considered by many to be the greatest playwright, and perhaps the greatest author of all time. Shakespeare was born in Stratford, England, in April, 1564. Little is known about his early life, except that he was the son of a businessman and probably attended the local grammar school. In 1582 he married Anne Hathaway, a woman of 26, and they had three children, and in about 1612, he retired to Stratford as a wealthy man.
Shakespeare was referred to as an actor in 1592, and soon after as a playwright, he was also a part owner of a theater company, the Globe, with which he worked. He wrote his plays exclusively for this company at the rate of about two a year. The characters in Shakespeare’s plays are the first “modern” dramatic characters—with both strengths and weaknesses. Shakespeare skillfully conveys a sense of his characters’ psychological identities, and this is part of the reason why these characters have endured so vividly for so many years.
In the course of his life, Shakespeare wrote 36 plays, 154 sonnets, and 2 narrative poems. Because Shakespeare wrote his plays for performance, he was indifferent about their publication. Many of the plays that were published shortly after his death were reconstructed from memory by actors.ˉ
16. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? (A)People know a lot about Shakespeare’s childhood.
(B)Shakespeare was famous for his acting.
(C)Shakespeare wrote two plays every year only for the Globe. (D)Most of Shakespeare’s plays were published after he retired. 17. Which of the following is NOT true about Shakespeare?
(A)His father was a businessman.
(B)He married a woman who was older than he was. (C)He was an actor before he started writing plays. (D)He planned to be a psychologist.
18. Which of the following causes the characters in Shakespeare’s plays being well remembered?
(A)Shakespeare hired famous actors in his plays. (B)Shakespeare was often referred to as an actor.
(C)Shakespeare wrote a lot of plays about the same characters. (D)Shakespeare delivered a sense of his characters’ inner personality.ˉ 19. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
(A)William Shakespeare (B)Shakespeare’s Family
(C)The Plays by Shakespeare (D)The Greatest Theater Ownerˉ 20. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined phrase “was
indifferent about”?

Thousands of years ago, people began to recognize that there were different groups of living things in the world. Some animals had claws and sharp teeth and roamed on the land. Others had feathers and beaks and flew in the air. Still others had scales and fins and swam in the water. People also made observations about plants. Not only did plants vary in shape, size, and color, but some were good to eat while others were poisonous.
Without knowing exactly what they were doing, people developed simple
classification systems to group living things according to similar characteristics. In the fourth century B.C., the Greek philosopher Aristotle first proposed a system to classify life. He placed the animal into three groups. One group included all animals that flew, another group included those that swam, and a third group included those that walked. Aristotle classified animals according to the way they moved. Although this system was useful, it caused problems. According to Aristotle, both a bird and a bat would fall into the same flying group. Yet in some basic respects, birds and bats are very different. Birds, for
example, are covered with hair. Although the system devised by Aristotle would not satisfy today’s taxonomists, it was the first attempt to develop a scientific and orderly system of classification. Aristotle’s classification system was used for almost 2,000 years.
In the seventeenth century, John Ray, an English biologist, based his system of classification on the internal anatomy of plants and animals. He examined how they behaved and what they looked like. He was the first person to scientifically use the term

Chen Shu-Chu(陳樹菊) is a vegetable vendor in the Central Market, Taitung. She has worked there since she left school at thirteen following the death of her mother.

16. (C)文章第二段“He wrote his plays exclusively for this company at the rate of about two a year.”可見(C)為正解。
17. (D)整篇文章沒有提到莎士比亞計畫當心理學家。
18. (D)由第二段最後一句“Shakespeare skillfully conveys a sense of his characters’ psychological identities, and this is part of the reason why these characters have endured so vividly for so many years.” 得知(D)為正解。
19. (A)由整篇文章得知再介紹莎士比亞；(B)(C)是細節；(D)非文章內容。 20. (B)be indifferent to(漠視)＝pay no attention to(不注意)
幾千年前，人們開始認識到，不同的群體生活在世界上。有些動物有爪子和鋒利 的牙齒漫遊在土地上。有些有羽毛，喙，在空中飛。還有一些有鱗片和魚鰭在水里遊。 人們也觀察植物。不僅植物的形狀，大小和顏色不同，有些是很好吃，而另一些是有 毒的。 雖然不是確切地知道他們的作為，人們開發了簡單的分類系統，根據相似的特徵 去分類生物。在公元前四世紀，古希臘哲學家亞里士多德首先提出了一個系統來分類 生物。他把動物分為三組。一組包括所有會飛的動物，另一組包括會游泳的動物，第 三組包括會走路的動物。亞里士多德分類動物是根據他們移動的方式。雖然這個系統 是有用的，但引起問題。根據亞里士多德，鳥和蝙蝠都將陷入同樣的飛行組。然而， 在一些基本的方面，鳥類和蝙蝠有很大的不同。例如，鳥類，被毛髮覆蓋。雖然亞里 士多德所設計的系統將不能滿足今天的分類學家，這是第一次嘗試，制定了科學有秩 序的系統分類。亞里士多德的分類系統使用近 2000 年。 在十七世紀，英國生物學家約翰·雷，他的分類系統，根據植物和動物的內部解剖。 他檢視他們的行為，他們的長相。他是第一個在科學上使用「物種」這個術語的人。 21. (B)由第一段得知。 22. (D)其他三個在第一段最後一句均有提到。
23. (B)第二段說“Aristotle classified animals according to the way they moved.” 24. (A)全文內容為動植物的分類。 25. (B)老鷹和蝙蝠都會飛。 陳樹菊是在台東中央市場的菜販。自從她的母親在他 13 歲時去世，她就輟學在 那裡工作。她每天工作生活，不做不必要的浪費，她把賺來的錢捐給慈善機構。2004 年，她捐了大約 32,000 美元兒童基金，另外在第二年捐 144,000 美元給她以前就讀的 學校，幫助建立一個圖書館。2006 年，她捐了 31,000 美元給基督教阿尼色弗兒童之 家。現在，她打算要設一個 313,000 美元的基金會幫助窮人，專門用在教育、飲食及 醫療照護。由於她的善行，「讀者文摘」授予她為 2010 年亞洲人物的得主。在 2012 年，她被列為時代周刊全球 100 個最有影響力人，入選為拉蒙‧麥格賽賽獎的獲獎者 之一。陳樹菊是其中最大的捐助者，但她慷慨地捐出她微薄的收入。 記者在市場上採訪時，陳似乎很滿足，並說：「錢只有當它被用於那些需要它的 人才達到目的。」在得知獲獎的消息後，她說寧願在市場賣菜，而不願出席由「時代」 雜誌和拉蒙麥格賽舉行的頒獎儀式。台灣各地，她的言談和故事感動了很多人。她的 故事最顯著的是她捐錢不求回報，僅僅為了幫助別人。據觀察，在她的故事被報導後， 一些慈善機構因此收到更多的捐款。她的影響將是深遠的。
26. (C)第一段說“She has worked there since she left school at thirteen following the death of her mother.”
27. (B)2004 年的第二年＝2005 年。 28. (D)第一段最後一句得知。
29. (D)第二段倒數第二句說“It is observed that some charities received more donations after her story was reported.”

May 5, 2013 Dear Andrew,
I am glad to hear that you are going to visit Taiwan for a week in the middle of June. I am looking forward to your coming and would like to recommend that we visit Kenting National Park, where we can see a variety of tropical plants and rare rocks , as well as the beautiful seashore along the south-western coast of Taiwan. Besides, in the evening we can sit at the charming beach watching numerous stars in the night sky and at the same time tasting some special delicious foods sold by the local vendors. The next morning we can join a lot of people riding bicycles along the country roads in the mountains. I believe that we will have a good time in Taiwan.
Sincerely,
