Our lives are connected to the climate. Human societies have adapted 31 the relatively stable climate we have enjoyed since the last ice age. A warming climate will bring changes that can 32 our water supplies, agriculture, power and transportation systems, the natural en vironment, and even our own health and safety. Some changes to the climate are unavoidable. Carbon dioxide can stay in the atmosphere for nearly a century. So, earth will continue to warm in the 33 decades. The warmer it gets, the greater the risk for more 34 changes to the climate. Although it’s difficult to predict the exact impacts of climate change, what’s clear is that the climate we are 35 to is no longer a reliable guide for what to expect in the future.
By making choices that reduce greenhouse gas pollution, we can reduce risks from climate change.

四、閱讀測驗【請依照段落上下文意，選出最適當的答案】
第一篇：
Technology is rapidly altering every aspect of the lives of human beings and extending the changes towards economic development. Today, the use of technology has penetrated all sectors in a country, from farming, food processing, healthcare, marketing, resource management, communication, and transportation among others.
According to business experts, technology plays a pivotal role in the development of the economy with its numerous changes contributing immensely to the growth of the economy in various ways.
Technology promotes the usage of natural resources. Different countries boast of a wide array of natural resources found in various places in their environment especially below the earth surface. Due to the lack of know-how and ability to detect and retrieve them, numerous countries struggle with sitting on economic treasures such as minerals, oil, and land that are unutilized. However, technology alters this situation by providing various machinery that enables businesses and the government to adequately access and utilize the natural resources efficiently, benefitting businesses and boosting the overall economy of the country.
Technology elicits the saving of time. The utilization of technology such as computerization of data, use of machinery to carry out different jobs, as well as utilization of the internet for communication readily alters the dynamic and operation of a business. It does so by ensuring the utilization of machines powered by technology decreases the production and delivery time of various goods. Additionally, the adoption of technologically fueled communication through the internet ensures the customers can communicate with the production team on placing urgent orders or making changes to orders within a limited period.
Utilization of technology results in saving of labor. Among the most expensive expense in business is the high cost of labor. However, this has changed as many industries move away from human labor and adopt automation and robotics in their businesses. Consequently, this has lessened the burden of work, thereby resulting in reduced number of employees.

第二篇：
Humans first started creating music 500,000 years ago, yet speech and language was only developed 200,000 years ago. Evolutionary evidence, as interpreted by leading researchers, indicates that speech as a form of communication has evolved from our original development and use of music. This explains why our music and language neural networks significantly overlap, and why children who learn music become better at learning the grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation of any language.
There has been a growing interest in the advantages that come with learning foreign languages. There are many languages that can benefit us in immense ways, from culture to trade—Chinese, Russian, Arabic, French and Spanish to name but a few—and what better way to ensure your child can pick up all these languages than by teaching them the master language that transcends all others: music.
Music training plays a key role in the development of a foreign language in its grammar, colloquialisms and vocabulary. One recent study found that when children aged nine and under were taught music for just one hour a week, they exhibited a higher ability to learn both the grammar and the pronunciation of foreign languages, compared to their classmates who had learned a different extracurricular activity.
Finnish children are commonly musically trained from a young age with a playful method, but they only start school at age seven and start language learning at nine or older. Despite this "late exposure" to everything excluding music skills, they commonly end up speaking three to five foreign languages. Any English-speaking person who has ever visited Finland can attest to the fact that nearly every Finnish person speaks English without any problems.
Take Ken Stringfellow, the American singer-songwriter, as an example of the impact of music on the ability to learn foreign languages. Ten years ago, well into his thirties, he married a French woman and subsequently picked up a whole new language from scratch. People recording with him in Paris were often amazed at how he had learned it so well without any prior background, but the research explains it. As a musician who made music from toddlerhood, he would have significantly boosted his brain’s capacity for learning the syntax, semantics and pronunciation of any new language in adulthood.

The connection between music and language learning
Why Finland is such a strong country

To introduce his achievements in the music industry
To show the author’s opinions on American music
To illustrate the relationship between music training and language learning
To emphasize the importance of sending children to top music schools
【2】49. Which of the following is supported by the passage?
Some languages like Chinese and Russian are extremely complicated in grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation.
Music training might benefit children in learning the pronunciation of a new language.
Finnish children are more talented in music than those from other countries.
Finnish adults often learn music and foreign languages at the same time.
【4】50. Which of the following statements would the author most probably agree with?
Finland is a better place than the U.S.to raise children.
People who have a foreign spouse will learn foreign languages better.
Parents should have their children take language lessons as early as possible.
