Publishing in academic journals is a highly competitive activity in academia, but thousands of academic journals do not aspire to quality. 46 primarily to extract fees from authors. These journals exhibit questionable marketing schemes, follow lax or non-existent peer-review 47 and fail to provide scientific rigor or transparency. Bogus journals can imitate legitimate ones that also collect fees from authors. Moreover, crucial to a journal’s quality is its editors. Editors decide 48 a paper is to be reviewed, and whether a submission should be rejected, revised or accepted. 49 roles have usually been assigned to established experts in the journal’s field, and are considered prestigious positions. However, many journals 50 to cash in seem to aggressively and indiscriminately recruit academics to build legitimate-looking editorial boards. Unfortunately, so far no one seems to be examining the issue systematically.

四、閱讀測驗【請在下列各題中選出最適當的答案】
第一篇：
There’s a simple test to determine whether you’re generally an optimist, or a generally pessimist. When you see a glass, half filled with water, if you describe it as half full, you are an optimist. On the contrary, if you describe it as half empty, you are a pessimist. Optimists are often seen as the happy, healthy people who cheerfully overcome hardship and always see light at the end of the tunnel. The glass-half-empty crowd, by contrast, are usually thought of as bringing everyone down and maybe even making themselves ill in the process.
Being an optimist and/or a pessimist is a rather personalized way of managing feeling and emotions in response to what is outside of you. When you try to get a job, no expert would advise that you think negatively. And no one would ever suggest that you would be better off always looking out for the next dark cloud on the horizon. Here is a legitimate question to ponder on: can advice like this really reflect how things are or be helpful at all? Is it possible that maybe we got it wrong? Are there times when a little less optimism and little more pessimism could be helpful?
A recent study by Edward Chang, a professor of psychology at the University of Michigan, seems to indicate that the situation is actually far more complex. A key conclusion is that pessimism is not “bad” and optimism “good”, but rather that they are both functional. As a matter of fact, optimism and pessimism can both serve us well, depending on the circumstances, in the management of emotions. It is easy to see that optimism can help us see silver lining to the dark cloud and help us overcome worry and anxiety in difficult situations. What’s less often appreciated is the way pessimism can protect us from disappointment by keeping our expectations low. For example, if you were pessimistic about applying for a job you know you might not get, then the blow of not getting the job would be less painful. By the same token, if you got the job, your joy would be even more powerful because of your optimistic outlook. It is arguable that with emotional power, both optimism and pessimism enhance the view of reality with feelings that can lead us to action in a productive way.
【1】

Optimists and Pessimists: Managing Power of Emotions Optimistic Productivity: A Quest for Emotional Strength

【2】
53. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
Professor Edward Chang believes that explanations for optimism and pessimism can be complicated.
Pessimism allows people to keep their expectations up to avoid appreciation.
Optimism is to be braced because of the positive prospects.
A glass-half-full person is confident and looks on the bright side.
【3】
54. Which of the following expressions is closest to the underlined phrase “silver lining to the dark cloud”?
Pie in the sky. Neck of the woods.
Light at the end of the tunnel. Storm in a teacup.
【4】
55. What does the author mean by saying, “It is arguable that with emotional power, both optimism and pessimism enhance
the view of reality with feelings that can lead us to action in a productive way”? It is hard to argue that power of feelings and emotions can be influential to successful action.
It is uncertain whether optimism and pessimism have any function in emotion management.
It is still a debate that optimism and pessimism can lead the way to success.
It is true that optimism and pessimism are strong emotional enhancers functioning productively.
第二篇：
Just because you’re pregnant doesn’t mean you cease to be a normal human who has regular food cravings, and at times that can be due to anything from dehydration to being a signal from your body that it’s craving specific nutrients. But pregnancy does involve a surge of hormones, and that’s where things start to get weird.
While many women do experience cravings during pregnancy, for some the cravings are an excuse to eat foods they’d normally avoid. Just remember that the eating-for-two thing can be taken too far. Pregnancy can be stressful and full of fear of the unknown. Nothing will ever be the same once that little one arrives, so it’s hardly a surprise that moms-to-be might turn to comfort foods like pasta, bread, or cookies.
Some pregnancies spur a yearning for foods that are flavor-rich. From an evolutionary standpoint, this makes sense. A craving for highly palatable foods may be hard-wired during pregnancy, as it may be nature’s way to make sure that pregnant women consume enough calories to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
An extreme version of cravings gone really wild is pica, the practice of craving substances with little or no nutritional value.
The word pica is Latin for magpie, which is a bird notorious for eating almost anything. Possibly anemia-related, pica is well-documented in the medical literature. Some pregnant women will have longings for paper, paint chips, and, yes, loam.
The reason that some women develop pica cravings during pregnancy is not known for certain, but it may be a sign of iron and zinc deficiencies. Some speculate that pica cravings are the body’s attempt to obtain vitamins or minerals that are missing through normal food consumption. The craving for dirt may have a physiological basis, but it also has a very strong cultural basis as well. In some cultures it is not uncommon for women to consume clay or dirt during pregnancy. In some places, people believe that the practice relieves nausea that comes with morning sickness.
No matter how strong your craving, don’t give in to eating potentially unsafe stuff such as raw or undercooked meat, unpasteurized juice or milk, raw sprouts, and definitely not alcohol.
【2】
56. What is the main idea of the passage?
Diagnosis of and treatment for pica. Pregnancy craving in different forms.
Hormone surge and nutrition deficiency. Dietary dos and don’ts during pregnancy.
【1】
57. Which of the following is common among pregnant women?
The hormone levels in their body change. They suffer from consumption of unsafe food.
Comfort foods cause health problems for them. They eat twice a day in order not to feel stressed.
【2】
58. Which of the following is true about pica?
It can trigger morning sickness. It has been studied and documented.
It is originally a disease found in magpies. It is resulted from a shortage of loam in the body.
【1】
59. What does “it” in the first paragraph refer to?
Body. Signal. Anything. Dehydration.
