Many common items in our daily life have more uses than we could ever imagine. As everyone knows, sugar cubes are added 20 tea or coffee for sweet taste. In fact, they can also help keep cookies crisp. To test this out, just prepare two jars of cookies and put two or three sugar cubes into one of the jars. Two weeks later, you will find that the cookies in the jar with the sugar cubes in it are crispier than 21 in the other jar.
The secret is 22 sugar cubes can absorb moisture. The same method can be applied to storing other things that turn soft easily, like melon seeds and peanuts, 23 .
Likewise, it’s quite annoying when you stain your desk with marker inks or correction fluid, 24 . But now you may try using some oil or citrus peel to deal with the problem. Oil and citrus peel serve as the solution to wiping off the stains 25 . It is the organic and acid substances from them that help 26 the stains and make them easier to be cleaned.
These tricks mentioned above may seem 27 when you don’t understand them. However, when you do, you will realize that science is not just for the laboratory, but also for life.

Stephen Curry, who plays for the Golden State Warriors and has been named the NBAs Most Valuable Player, had had a long story before his greatness began to shine through. Growing up in an athletic family, however, Curry was not born to be a natural basketball player—he was too 28 and not tall enough in many people’s eyes. Even though he worked hard and played well in high school, he was not recruited by any major universities. Yet Curry’s strong discipline for shots practice eventually made him shine in the professional field. In 2009, the first year of his NBA career, Curry was named to the All-Rookie team. In 2012, he found his 29 and began to play at a higher level by breaking his own record for the number of three-point shots made in one season. He had 30 several times of course, but he always continued to work on his long-range shooting. 31 , Curry is considered a superstar in the NBA world nowadays. We have to know that, without his dedication, he wouldn’t conquer his lack of physical latent and has the 32 to make so many long shots!

三、文意選填（占10 分）
It is common knowledge that there are seven days in a week. However, 33 are aware of how the days got their names or where they came from. In fact, the origin of the names of the days has something to do with the Latin and English languages. Take Saturday, Sunday and Monday for example. These Latin-based words appeared on the Roman calendar. Each of them pointed to the heavenly bodies in space, such as Saturday to Saturn, Sunday to the Sun, and Monday to the moon. On the other hand, the 34 four days, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, were 35 the names of gods from northern European culture.
Thursday, for instance, 36 to the god of thunder, who became a household name after superhero films were released.
People hold different 37 about why there are seven days in a week, though. For now the most widely accepted answer to this question brings us to the 38 Babylonians, who arranged time based on lunar 39 . The number seven was chosen to mark a week because that’s how long each moon phase lasted. Meanwhile, this issue about where the week begins and ends changes with locations and 40 , which reveals strong 說明：第 33 題至第 42 題，請依文意在文章後所提供的 (A) 到 (BC) 中選出最適當者，並將其英文字

cultural differences throughout the world. According to international 41 , the week starts on Monday and ends on Sunday. Yet in Canada and the U.S., Sunday starts the week and Saturday is the last day.

43 至 46 題為題組
Australia is a beautiful country, but its beauty hides a dark side. As a home to many types of deadly animals, Australia is one of the world’s most dangerous places. Animal Planet’s Deadliest Place on Earth travels Down Under to see where the line between wilderness and civilization disappears.
Modern development and population growth over the years have put humans and animals in close
contact with each other. This is especially the case with humans and boxing kangaroos. These kangaroos may seem harmless, but their legs are very strong, and their arms can pack a deadly punch. As the program shows, in one case, a woman almost lost her life to a boxing kangaroo.
The number of people living near the ocean has also grown, and this puts them at risk of falling victim to another dangerous animal: the blue-ringed octopus. It’s only the size of a golf ball, but it can paralyze people and shut down their ability to breathe in just five minutes. If you’ve been stung by one of these creatures, only mouth to mouth resuscitation or life support can keep you alive.
Danger awaits humans even in the cities of Australia. In spring in Sydney, male funnel-web spiders wander around, looking for females to mate with. That’s when they might end up in people’s houses. These spiders have extremely dangerous bites. Their venom can make their victims’ blood pressure and heart rates go up and cause their victims to die within 12 hours.
Yet spiders aren’t the most deadly animals found in Australian backyards. The country is also home to more than 100 species of land snakes. One-third of them can kill a human in a matter of minutes. The most feared is the eastern brown snake. They can exceed two meters in length and move at a surprising speed.
Without medical treatment, their bite can result in death.
From the ocean to the countryside, death is just a strike, a sting, or bite away in Australia. This has earned the country the title of deadliest place on earth. It’s only when you get such a close view that you realize how dangerous some animals—and places—can be.
43. What is the main idea of this passage?
(A) The most dangerous place in the world.
(B) Survival skills in the wilderness of Australia.
(C) Humans’ connection with animals in Australia.
(D) Australia’s most dangerous creatures.
44. According to the passage, what will happen if you are stung by blue-ringed octopus?
說明：第 43 題至第 50 題，每題請分別根據各篇文章選出最適當的一個選項，標示在答案卡之「選 擇題答案區」。各題答對者，得 2 分。
(A) You will fall asleep immediately and never wake up.
(B) You will not be able to move any further.
(C) You will stop breathing after one hour.
(D) You have to cleanse the wound in the ocean water.
45. Which of the following statements about male funnel-web spiders in Australia is NOT true?
(A) They can be easily seen in cities rather than in the countryside.
(B) Their venom is so poisonous that it can kill people in half a day.
(C) Their victims will suffer low blood pressure and serious heart attack.
(D) They become more active to find a mate in the springtime.
46. According to the passage, what is the feature of the eastern brown snake in Australia?
(A) They are regarded as the most dangerous animals in the cities of Australia.
(B) They are the only species of land snakes to make victims die in a very short time.
(C) Compared with other species, they are in middle size and move quite slowly.
(D) Once you are bitten by them, it is best to have mouth-to mouth resuscitation right away.
第 47 至 50 題為題組
Globalization is the process that makes economies and societies from all around the world become more and more connected. This means that people, ideas, technology, money, services, and many other things are moving between countries and changing the way people think and act.
Not everyone thinks the same way about globalization. Some people think it is good; some people think it is bad. Some believe that globalization helps rich people get richer and makes poor people poorer. These people consider that globalization helps big companies like Coca-Cola and McDonald's destroy local businesses. In contrast, the people who think globalization is a good thing argue that globalization helps poorer people to become richer. They also think that it doesn't damage local cultures. These people also believe globalization helps prevent conflicts like wars. This is because countries that have economic
connections will try hard to maintain good relationships with each other so their economies aren't damaged.
Whether you think globalization is good or bad, however, it affects the world in two important areas:
jobs and cultures. Globalization has had a very strong effect on employment and jobs throughout the world.
For some workers, such as engineers, lawyers, and bankers, globalization has been a good development.
These workers are able to successfully compete globally and have seen an increase in their salaries. But for those who work in factories or in the service industry, such as hotels, shops and restaurants, it has not been good. These types of jobs have been exposed to increasing competition from workers from poorer countries.
A worker from a poorer country will do the same job for less money. This decreases the salaries for that job, so people get paid less to do it.
Cultures have also been affected by globalization. Foods such as Japanese noodles, Indian curry and French cheeses have spread around the world. We can also see an increase in the use of Chinese characters in tattoos. Some people get these tattoos without actually knowing what the characters mean. Another area affected by globalization is the film industry. Most people have seen American movies. But due to globalization, Korean, Indian and Japanese movies have become more popular worldwide.
No one knows the future of globalization. Most experts agree that it will continue to grow and have an increasingly larger impact on people's lives in the future.
47. What is the main idea of the passage?
(A) The positive effects of globalization on Western countries.
(B) The negative impact of globalization on workers in the service industry.
(C) How globalization changes the world in the aspects of economy and culture.
(D) How globalization makes poorer people poorer and richer people richer.
48. According to the second paragraph, what do Coca-Cola and McDonald's represent?
(A) Companies that put local people out of work.
(B) Companies that cause globalization.
(C) Companies that help poor people make money.
(D) Companies that prevent wars from happening.
49. According to the third paragraph, why is globalization NOT good for workers in the service industry?
(A) They are not well prepared for the competitive international job market.
(B) They face the competition from those who are willing to be paid less for the same job.
(C) Their lower educational background doesn’t allow them to ask for higher salaries.
(D) Their poor work skills make it difficult to get high-paying jobs.
50. Why does the author mention different foods, Chinese writing, and Asian films in the fourth paragraph?
(A) To show that people sometimes use things from other cultures, but don't understand them.
(B) To explain why there has been an increase in popularity of movies from different countries.
(C) To show that life and culture in different countries are changing due to globalization.
(D) To emphasize the great influence of Asian cultures on parts of Western countries.
