The United States' aviation industry was rising in the 1920s. During the time, people in America still regarded flying a plane as an exciting sport, so very few would choose to travel by air. But a young woman named Edna Gardner Whyte thought differently. She believed that very soon people would take airplanes as a means of transportation and no longer see flying an aircraft simply as a fast and dangerous sport. In 1926, she signed up for lessons to learn to be a pilot. But most of her teachers persuaded her to quit, for flying planes was no job for women. Edna didn't give up, and just followed her heart to continue the lessons. With her perseverance, she finally realized her dream of becoming a licensed pilot. Yet, most airline companies at that time still hesitated to employ women pilots. Therefore, even though she was a good pilot, Edna still couldn't land a job flying planes. She had to keep proving herself repeatedly.
In 1934, she participated in a flying race in Maryland. She was the only female player in the race and thus, made fun of by other players before the race kicked off. To everyone's surprise, she won in the end, and her winning silenced all the other players. To prevent such a thing from happening again, a sign saying "Men Only" was posted when the same race took place in the next year. In 1937, she won another race. What delighted her this time was she received a big prize from Amelia Earhart, the first woman who flew solo across the Atlantic Ocean. While Amelia enjoyed much more fame and honor at that time, Edna flew many more hours in her lifetime. Edna was so fond of flying that she never stopped doing it until she was in her eighties. When she quit racing, she devoted herself to teaching people to fly. In 1991, at the age of 89, she published her autobiography, Rising Above It, and passed away the following year. As an air racer, she will always be remembered for having won more than two dozen air races.
16. What is the passage mainly about?
(A)The aviation industry in the 1920s. (B)The flying race in Maryland. (C)Two famous women in aviation history. (D)A pioneering woman pilot.

(D)Though trying hard, she nearly passed the flying test in the end. 19. When was the "Men Only" sign put up in the Maryland race?

The first slow city in Taiwan is Fenglin Township. In 2014, it became a member of an international "slow city" organization. Located in Hualien County, Fenglin boasts a culture that matches the way of life promoted by the organization. The residents value traditions and maintain their own methods of farming, food preparation, and keeping friendly relations.
To appreciate the beauty of Fenglin, one has to take the time to soak up its relaxing atmosphere. While economic progress has brought about vast changes elsewhere, Fenglin remains untouched by industrial development or noisy traffic. By preserving the casual charm of its mountain township, the local community hopes to leave this special gift for future generations.
Two residents who left behind them the fast-moving lifestyles of big cities to return to Fenglin and experience slow living are Chen Kengyan and Zhong Sunlung. Chen quit teaching to take over the family farm before going on to earn a certificate in organic farming. Now, he starts work at 5 a.m., goes home at 9 a.m., takes a rest until lunch, and then continues his work on the farm. Next door, Zhong pulls weeds on his peanut farm early in the morning, and spends leisurely afternoons taking pictures. He first started off aiming to learn from his mother traditional styles of cooking and frying peanuts; he now sells his own brand of snacks.
Also doing his best is Xu Mingtang. He came home to look after his aging parents, and later worked with a group which provides funding for organic farming. He also tries to
educate farmers on the environmental impacts of various farming methods.
However, the township faces one concern－the outflow of young people. In view of the population loss, the community now takes on the task of attracting the young to return home. After all, their hope lies in the young to carry on the fine traditions of Fenglin culture.

Crowdfunding is an efficient way of raising money from a large number of people. If some people have difficulty paying for certain expenses, they may turn to using Internet platforms to ask friends and strangers for contributions to help cover those expenses. In general, these platforms allow participants to start such "life events" campaigns as
crowdfunding for adoption costs, wedding fees, or medical expenses. Some platforms insist that they would leave the door open and users can keep whatever has been raised while others require users to meet certain criteria before they get any money.
However, there are a growing number of criticisms about these campaigns, especially those addressing certain ethical dilemma. One such criticism highlights an instance when in order to compete for attention, everyone wrote their stories as heart-breaking as possible so that they could get more votes and higher scores. In addition, many users link their
campaigns from crowdfunding platforms to their Facebook and Twitter accounts or other social media. As a result, even when their campaigns are over, their private information, such as a baby's identity, is still exposed for the public to access. Ironically, all these acts originating from good intention may turn out to be harmful to one's integrity and privacy. Although some comments on crowdfunding can be harsh, crowdfunding just reflects the Internet's power to transmit information. Through this kind of platform, those who actually undergo financial difficulties can find more helpful channels to solve their problems. It is also crucial to accomplish the mission of constructing a world of mutual help and benefits. Yet crowdfunders should be cautious while posting private information on the Internet. It is recommended that people keep those intimate details away from websites.
26. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as an acceptable reason for crowdfunding?
(A)Holding a banquet for marriage. (B)Getting a surgical operation. (C)Planning an overseas expedition. (D)Preparing to adopt an orphan.
27. According to the passage, what does it mean by "leave the door open" in paragraph 1? (A)Crowdfunding is only for people with financial problems.
(B)There are no restrictions on the use of funds raised from the campaigns. (C)All crowdfunders should meet certain conditions before they get paid. (D)Users are banned from linking their campaigns to their Facebook accounts.
28. What is the main idea of paragraph 2?
(A)Some drawbacks of crowdfunding campaigns. (B)An approach to initiating fundraising campaigns. (C)Some merits of crowdfunding campaigns. (D)The best way to safeguard your privacy.
29. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the word "accomplish" in paragraph 3?
(A)justify (B)deceive (C)execute (D)boycott 30. According to the passage, which of the following is true?
(A)Internet platforms are all the same in their rules and regulations. (B)Social media nowadays provide access to fundraising.
(C)Users do not need to get higher scores in order to get money.
(D)The author advised that crowdfunders should make stories miserable.

一、綜合測驗 政府鼓勵臺灣居民適當地棄置衛生紙。有計劃要在公共廁所貼上標誌，指示人 們把用過的紙扔進馬桶。然而，結果無法在一夜之間見到，因為需要時間來改變人 們的習慣。人們習慣於把衛生紙扔進垃圾桶，年輕一代從老人學會了這種做法。現 在，很多年輕人開始改變他們的習慣，當他們海外旅行和瞭解現代廁所的正確使用。 為了滿足日益增長的水溶性紙的需求，紙製造商有準備加快新產品的生產。一些網 際網路用戶也已經有創造性的想法來教育公眾。希望將衛生紙沖掉在不久的將來成 為臺灣人民的一種習慣。1.

(C)文法題，考時態，for＋一段時間 → 現在完成式。 二、閱讀測驗 在 1920 年代，美國的航空業興起。期間，美國人仍然認為飛行是一種令人興奮 的運動，所以很少有人會選擇乘飛機旅行。但一位名叫埃德娜加德納懷特的想法不 一樣。她認為人們很快會把飛機作為一種交通工具，不再認為開飛機只是一種快速 和危險的運動。1926 年，她報名參加了機師課程。但大部分老師勸她退出，因為開 飛機不是婦女的工作。埃德娜並沒有放棄，順著心願繼續受訓。用她的毅力，她終 於實現了她夢想成為一名有照飛行員。然而，大多數航空公司在當時仍然猶豫著雇
工作。她不得不反復不斷證明自己的能力。 1934 年，她參加了在馬里蘭州的飛行比賽。她是唯一的女選手，因此，在賽前 受到其他選手的取笑。出乎所有人的意料，她最後贏得比賽，使其他選手啞口無言。 為了防止再次發生這樣的事，第二年比賽豎立了「只限男性」的牌子。1937 年，她 贏得了另一場比賽。令她高興的是，這一次是她從阿米莉亞埃爾哈特，第一位獨自 飛越大西洋的女性，手中接受大獎。雖然阿米莉亞當時享有更多的名望和榮譽，埃 德娜在她的一生飛行時數更多。埃德娜如此喜歡飛行，直到她八十幾歲從未停止飛 行。在她退出比賽後，她致力於教人開飛機。1991 年，89 歲時，她出版了她的自傳 《Rising Above it》，第二年她去世。作為飛機競賽手，她將因為贏得超過二十幾項比 賽永遠被人們記住。 16. (D)主旨題，用刪去法解題，(A)(B)(C)都是細節，刪去，(D)具有開拓精神的女 飛行員，為正解。 17. (D)細節題，由第一段第二句得解。 18. (A)細節題（是非題），考「是」，(B)(C)(D)雨文章描述不符，(A)老師們對她百 般勸阻，符合文中描述。 19. (C)細節題，第二段 1934 年的第二年為 1935 年。 20. (C)細節題（是非題），考「是」。(A)(B)(D)與文中描述不符，(C)停止參賽後， 她教人們飛行，為正解，符合文中描述。 臺灣的第一個慢城是鳳林鎮。在 2014 年，它成為國際慢城組織的成員。位於花 蓮縣，鳳林鎮自詡擁有與本組織提倡的生活方式匹配的文化。居民重視傳統、保持 他們自己耕作、準備食物，以及保持友好關係的方法。 要欣賞鳳林之美，就必頇花時間去吸收其輕鬆的氣氛。雖然經濟進步在其他地 方帶來了巨大的變化，鳳林仍然不受工業發展或喧鬧的交通的影響。通過保留山城 的休閒魅力，當地社區希望將這個特別的禮物留給後代。 拕下大城市快速的生活方式，回到鳳林體驗慢速生活的兩個居民是陳更炎和鐘 順龍。陳辭去教職在得到有機農業證書後接管家庭農場。現在，他上午 5 點開始工 作，9 點回到家，休息到午餐，然後在農場裏繼續他的工作。隔壁，鐘一大清早就在 他花生的農場拔雜草，下午休閒地拍照。首先他開始從他母親學習傳統風格的烹飪 和油炸花生，他現在銷售自己品牌的零食。 此外，許明堂也很賣力。他在家中照顧年邁的父母，後來和提供有機農業資金 的群體工作。他還試圖教育農民瞭解不同耕作方式對環境的影響。然而，鳳林鎮也 面臨一個問題 —青年人口外流。鑒於人口流失，社會現在承擔吸引年輕人返回家園 的任務。畢竟，他們希望年輕人繼承鳳林文化的優良傳統。
21. (B)主旨題，用刪去法解題，(A)(C)(D)與文中描述不符，(B)另類的生活方式， 為正解，符合文中描述。
22. (C)細節題（是非題），考「是」。(A)(B)(D)與文中描述不符，(C)自然的耕種方 式，為正解，符合文中描述。

(A)細節題（是非題），考「非」，(B)(C)(D) 與文中描述符合，(A)鳳林居民希望 減少該鎮人口，與文中描述不符，為正解。 集資是人們的從眾多人中籌集資金的有效途徑。如果有些人支付一定的費用有 困難，他們可以會轉向使用網際網路帄臺來邀請朋友和陌生人捐款，以幫助支付這 些費用。一般情況下，這些帄臺允許參與者開始這種"生活事件"的活動作為集資領養 費、 結婚費用或醫療費用。一些帄臺堅持，他們會不做限制，用戶可以保有募集到 的任何錢，然而有些帄台要求用戶符合某些準則才能得到錢。 然而，對於這些活動，有越來越多的批評，尤其是解決某些倫理困境的批評。 有一個這種批評突出一個實例，為了爭奪注意力，每個人都將他們的故事寫得盡量 令人心碎以得到更多的支持票和更高的分數。此外，許多用戶將活動從集資帄臺連 結到 Facebook 和 Twitter 的帳戶或其他社交媒體。因此，即使他們的募款活動已經 結束了，他們的私人資訊，如嬰兒的身份仍然暴露給公眾人士使用。諷刺的是，所 有這些行為，源自良好意圖可能有害於一個人的正直和隱私。 雖然某些對集資的評論可能很苛刻，集資只是反映了網際網路的力量來傳輸資 訊。通過這樣的帄臺，實際上遭受財政困難的那些人可以找到更有幫助的管道，解 決他們的問題。此外，至關重要的是要完成建設一個互助和互利的世界的使命。然 而集資者在網際網路上發佈私人資訊時應該謹慎。建議人們不要將親密的細節在網 站公布。 26. (C)細節題（是非題），考「非」，(A)(B)(D)與文中描述符合，(C)計畫海外遊覽， 與文中描述不符，為正解。 27. (B)字義題，由第一段最後一句前半句得解。 28. (A)主旨題，用刪去法解題，(B(C)(D)與文中描述不符，(A)集資活動的一些缺失， 為正解，符合文中描述。 29. (C)字義題，accomplish (完成、實現)，與 execute (實行、執行)字義接近。 30. (B)細節題（是非題），考「是」。(A)(C)(D)與文中描述不符，(C)時下的社交媒

I am glad to receive your letter, learning that you are under great pressure of forthcoming college entrance examinations.
As a person who has had the same experience, I can understand how you feel. Therefore, I would like to provide you with two methods of reducing stress. First, you can listen to music after you study for a while. Taking a break by listening to music can let you calm down and have a peaceful mind. As a result, your stress is relieved. Second, you can talk with your friends about how you feel. It is not only you who are faced with the pressure from entrance examinations. You can exchange ideas with them. Maybe they can share their feelings with you and provide their good methods of reducing stress.
Meanwhile, while you are taking, some of your stress is gone by itself.
I hope my methods will be of help to you and look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best, Lisa
