三、克漏字測驗【請依照句子前後文意，選出最適當的答案】
第一篇：
Coffee includes numerous species but only two of them are of real economic importance: Arabica and Robusta.
Arabica represents the 60-70% of world’s production 41 Robusta represents the 30-40% of world’s production.
Arabicas tend to be considered higher in quality 42 Robustas because of their flavor differences. Those differences are in constituents, 43 the amount of sugars and acids, the lipid concentration, and the level of sucrose. It is because of those 44 in varieties, growing conditions of altitude, rainfall, and sunlight, processing variables as fermentation, drying, and roasting, packaging and storing, and brewing conditions that make it important to have a lexicon to help 45 the variations in sensory profiles in coffees around the world. This vocabulary must be able to offer a wide range of terms for a beverage that has a wide range of variable components.

Mangrove forests store more planet-warming carbon dioxide than almost any other ecosystem on Earth.
Recent research says that the loss of these forests is 46 large amounts of greenhouse gases in Earth’s atmosphere. As greenhouse gases trap warm air in the atmosphere, most climate scientists believe that the gases are 47 , at least in part, for climate change. Mangrove forests are found along coasts in tropical countries 48 the warm water often serves as a home for fish and other creatures. These plants and trees also help 49 coastal areas from storm damage. In sea shores where carbon-rich forests are popular, mangroves are found to store about three to four times 50 carbon per hectare as temperate forests or even tropical rainforests. Most of the carbon is hidden in the soil and tree roots where Mangroves grow.

四、閱讀測驗【請在下列各題中選出最適當的答案】
第一篇：
Pothos plants are one of the most popular houseplants. They aren’t fussy about light or water or fertilization and when it comes to how to propagate a pothos, the answer is as easy as the node on the stem. Pothos propagation begins with the root nodes on the stem right below the leaf or branch junctures. These tiny bumps on the stems of rooting pothos are the key to propagating pothos. When an aging plant begins to get leggy or a full and healthy plant grows too long, simply give the plant a haircut.
To begin the process of propagation, one will snip off 4- to 6-inch lengths of healthy stem for the pothos cuttings, making sure each cutting has four or more leaves. Then, the leaf that is closest to the cut end needs to be removed. Once the stems are cut, they’re ready to begin rooting. Pothos propagation can be accomplished in two ways. One might want to try both to see which one works best.
The first method of propagating pothos is to place the cut ends of the stems in water. An old glass or jelly jar is perfect for rooting pothos. The jar of pothos cuttings needs to be put in a place that gets plenty of light, but not direct sunlight. About a month after the roots begin to show, one can plant the cuttings in soil and treat them as one would any other houseplant. Be careful though, the longer pothos cuttings remain in water, the harder time they have adapting to soil. It is best to transplant rooted pothos cuttings as soon as they start roots.
The preferred method of how to propagate a pothos begins the same as the first. Take the pothos cuttings and remove the first leaf above the cut ends. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone. Make sure the first set of root nodes is covered. Set the cuttings in a potting mixture of half peat moss and half perlite or sand. Keep the soil moist and keep the rooting pothos out of direct sunlight. Roots should develop after one month; and after two or three months, the new plants will be ready.
【3】51. Which of the following categories does the passage most likely belong to?
Farming chemistry. Green modernization. House gardening. Vegetarian plantation.
【1】52. What is pothos?
A kind of ivy plants. A kind of gases.
A type of garden fertilizers. A type of organic chemicals.
【4】53. Which of the following is closest in meaning to propagate in the first paragraph?
To increase in livelihood. To cause to continue longer.
To stop withering away. To multiply by a natural reproduction.
【4】54. Which of the following comparisons between the two methods is true?
Roots of pothos demand a large amount of water if the preferred method is adopted.
Neither method needs chemical or organic fertilizers.
Both methods require their plants to have direct sunlight.
Transplantation is recommended once pothos cuttings begin to grow roots in the first method.
【2】55. What is the main purpose of the passage?
To highlight the benefits of the two methods indoor.
To illustrate the two methods of growing pothos inside house.
To exhibit the results of using fertilizers after employing two methods.
To clarify the differences between the two methods of growing vegetables.
第二篇：
Even though Japan and France are the two countries that enjoy highspeed today, their highspeed rail systems are technically different.
The French TGV and Japanese Shinkansen were designed for different geographic and traffic demands. A close look at the map of both these systems will tell you that Shinkansen, as the name itself suggests, was envisioned like a huge backbone from which smaller branches branch out to connect the entire country. It passes through a series of urban agglomerations hence encountering frequent stops throughout the line. The hilly terrain of Japan means it will have more curves and tunnels comparatively which affect the train design as have been seen. The geography of Japan also supports a track route of such a nature. The French TGV lines, on the other hand, is designed in a way that the corners of the country are well connected with its capital city, Paris. And as TGV map suggests, the lines are not so densely populated as in Japan.
Shinkansen trains are designed to run full of people. It is not that the TGV cannot run in full capacity. But the number of seats required in Shinkansen is significantly much larger than that seen in TGV’s. The first seven of the highest number of people that can be accommodated per meter all belong to Shinkansen, with a capacity per unit length between 3 and 4 people every meter of train length. The best train in the series from the TGV series comes at 8th with over 2.5 people per meter of the train. This means there is more space and comfort for travelers in TGV as compared to the Shinkansen trains. This leads to a possibility of capacity of about 1,200 people per trainset in case of Shinkansen trains while TGV trainset supports over 500 people per trainset.

The French TGV, though built on plains, adopts similar construction techniques to the Shinkansen.
