第 37 至 40 題為題組

Human activity often interferes with the natural world. So many imbalances in our ecosystems are blamed, and rightfully so, on human activity. We tend to think of nature as self-regulating and perfect, if only we humans would stay out of the way. Recently, a team of scientists found a striking example to the contrary.

An estimated 70, 000 hippos in Tanzania and Kenya’s Mara River dumped nearly 52,300 metric tons of poop, killing fish, sometimes by the thousands. Scientists observed the dead fish washed up on the shores of the Mara each time the river rose up a few feet. Nine sets of fish kills were observed within five years. Rangers were aware of the problem, but assumed it was caused by pesticides sprayed by local farmers upstream. Scientists Chris Dutton and Amanda Subalusky conducted experiments and

discovered the real cause. Fish were choking to death on hippo poop. Every day, around 4, 000 hippos were depositing about 8,500 kilograms of waste into the Mara along a short 100-kilometer stretch of river. The river is so dense with hippo poop that dipping a net into the water for just a few seconds coats it with feces almost immediately.

Hippo pools are flooded by periodic heavy rains known as flushing flows. Polluted waters disturb the river bottom and reduce oxygen levels downstream, killing the fish. The scientists confirmed their theory by adding hippo poop to bottled water. Oxygen levels fell dramatically. Reduced oxygen levels in the water is a problem with implications for African aquatic life, not just in Kenya and Tanzania, where it was discovered. Many kinds of ecosystems depend on clean water from rivers. Could human intervention improve this situation before it’s too late?

37. The appropriate title for this passage could be

(A) The Disease the Fish Face in Africa (B) The Endangered Animals

(C) The Origins of Symbiotic Partnerships (D) The Possible Cause for the Fish Death 38. It could be concluded from this passage that

(A) the poop of hippos makes fish choke. (B) the materials in the water make fish excited . (C) the rangers catch lots of fish in the park. (D) The fish are disturbed by human activities.

39. The scientists confirmed their theory for the death of fish by

(A) analyzing the species in Mara River. (B) conducting an experiment.

(C) doing a survey of visitors in the park. (D) dipping a net into the water to catch the sick fish.

40. In this passage, “Intervention” possibly means (A) to kill the hippos in Tanzania.

(B) to move all the fish to the upstream.

(C) to clean the rivers in Tanzania and Kenya.

(D) to educate the rangers with environmental protection theory.

第 41 至 44 題為題組

The majority of Indian women wear a red dot between their eyebrows. While it is generally taken as an indicator of their marital status, the practice is primarily related to the Hindu religion. The dot goes by different names in different Hindi dialects, and “bindi” is the one that is most commonly known. Traditionally, the dot carries no gender restriction: Men as well as women wear it. However, the tradition of men wearing it has faded in recent times, so nowadays we see a lot more women than men wearing one.

The position of the bindi is standard: center of the forehead, close to the eyebrows. It represents a third, or inner eye.

Hindu tradition holds that all people have three eyes: The two outer ones are used for seeing the outside world, and the third one is there to focus inward toward God. As such, the dot signifies piety and serves as a constant reminder to keep God in the front of a believer’s thoughts.

Red is the traditional color of the dot. It is said that in ancient times a man would place a drop of blood between his wife’s eyes to seal their marriage. According to Hindu beliefs, the color red is believed to bring good fortune to the married couple.

Today, people go with different colors depending upon their preferences. Women often wear dots that match the color of their clothes. Decorative or sticker bindis come in all sizes, colors and variations, and can be worn by young and old, married and unmarried people alike. Wearing a bindi has become more of a fashion statement than a religious custom.

41. Why did people in India start wearing a red dot on their forehead?

(A) To display their financial status. (B) To indicate their social rank.

(C) To show their religious belief. (D) To highlight their family background.

42. What is the significance of the third eye in Hindu tradition?

(A) To stay in harmony with nature.

(B) To see things with a subjective view.

(C) To pay respect to God.

(D) To observe the outside world more clearly.

43. Why was red chosen as the original color of the bindi?

(A) The word “bindi” means “red” in some Hindi dialects.

(B) Red was supposed to bring blessings to a married couple.

(C) The red dot represented the blood of God.

(D) Red stood for a wife’s love for her husband.

44. Which of the following statements is true about the practice of wearing a bindi today?

(A) Wearing a bindi has become more popular among Indian men.

(B) Most Indian women do not like to wear bindis anymore.

(C) Bindis are now used as a decorative item.

(D) Bindis are worn anywhere on the face now.
