41－44 為題組
American writer Toni Morrison was born in 1931 in Ohio. She was raised in an African American family filled with songs and stories of Southern myths, which later shaped her prose. Her happy family life led to her excellent performance in school, despite the atmosphere of racial discrimination in the society.
After graduating from college, Morrison started to work as a teacher and got married in 1958. Several years later, her marriage began to fail. For a temporary escape, she joined a small writers’ group, in which each member was required to bring a story or poem for discussion. She wrote a story based on the life of a girl she knew in childhood who had prayed to God for blue eyes. The story was well received by the group, but then she put it away, thinking she was done with it.
In 1964, Morrison got divorced and devoted herself to writing. One day, she dusted off the story she had written for the writers’ group and decided to make it into a novel. She drew on her memories from childhood and expanded upon them using her imagination so that the characters developed a life of their own. The Bluest Eye was eventually published in 1970. From 1970 to 1992, Morrison published five more novels.
In her novels, Morrison brings in different elements of the African American past, their struggles, problems and cultural memory. In Song of Solomon, for example, Morrison tells the story of an African American man and his search for identity in his culture. The novels and other works won her several prizes. In

Below is an excerpt from an interview with Zeke Emanuel, a health-policy expert, on his famous brothers.
Interviewer: You’re the older brother of Rahm, the mayor of Chicago, and Ari, an extremely successful talent agent. And you’re a bioethicist and one of the architects of Obamacare. Isn’t writing a book about how great your family is a bit odd?
Zeke: I don’t write a book about how great my family is. There are lots of idiocies and foolishness—a lot to make fun of in the book. I wrote Brothers Emanuel because I had begun jotting stories for my kids. And then we began getting a lot of questions: What did Mom put in the cereal? Three successful brothers, all different areas.
I: To what do you attribute the Emanuel brothers’ success?
Z: I would put success in quotes. We strive. First, I think we got this striving from our mother to make the world a better place. A second important thing is you never rest on the last victory.
There’s always more to do. And maybe the third important thing is my father’s admonition that offense is the best defense. We don’t give up.
I: Do you still not have a TV?
Z: I don’t own a TV. I don’t own a car. I don’t Facebook. I don’t tweet.
I: But you have four cell phones.
Z: I’m down to two, thankfully.
I: Your brothers are a national source of fascination. Where do you think they’ll be in five years?
Z: Ari will be a superagent running the same company. Rahm would still be mayor of Chicago. I will probably continue to be my academic self. The one thing I can guarantee is none of us will have taken a cruise, none of us will be sitting on a beach with a pina colada.
( ) 45. What does Zeke Emanuel have in mind when saying “What did Mom put in the cereal?”
(A) The secret to bringing up successful kids. (B) The recipe for a breakfast food.
(C) The difference among the brothers. (D) The questions from his kids.
( )46. What does Zeke Emanuel think of the modern conveniences mentioned in the interview?
(A) Better late than never.
(B) Practice makes perfect.
(C) One can live without many of them.
(D) They are great inventions.
( )47. According to Zeke Emanuel, which of the following is a reason for the brothers’ success?
(A) They defend themselves by attacking others.
(B) They learn a lot from great people’s quotes.
(C) They are committed to glorifying their parents.
(D) They keep moving forward even after a big success.
( )48. Which of the following best summarizes Zeke Emanuel’s response to the last question?
(A) The brothers look forward to a family trip on a cruise.
(B) Nothing much will change in the near future for them.

MOOC, a massive open online course, aims at providing large-scale interactive participation and open access via the web. In addition to traditional course materials such as videos, readings, and problem sets, MOOCs provide interactive user forums that help build a community for the students, professors, and teaching assistants.
MOOCs first made waves in the fall of 2011, when Professor Sebastian Thrun from Stanford University opened his graduate-level artificial intelligence course up to any student anywhere, and 160,000 students in more than 190 countries signed up. This new breed of online classes is shaking up the higher education world in many ways. Since the courses can be taken by hundreds of thousands of students at the same time, the
number of universities might decrease dramatically. Professor Thrun has even envisioned a future in which there will only need to be 10 universities in the world. Perhaps the most striking thing about MOOCs, many of which are being taught by professors at prestigious universities, is that they’re free. This is certainly good news for cash-strapped students.
There is a lot of excitement and fear surrounding MOOCs. While some say free online courses are a great way to increase the enrollment of minority students, others have said they will leave many students behind.
Some critics have said that MOOCs promote an unrealistic one-size-fits-all model of higher education and that there is no replacement for true dialogues between professors and their students. After all, a brain is not a computer. We are not blank hard drives waiting to be filled with data. People learn from people they love and remember the things that arouse emotion. Some critics worry that online students will miss out on the social aspects of college.
( )49. What does the word “cash-strapped” in the second paragraph mean?
(A) Making a lot of money. (B) Being short of money.
(C) Being careful with money. (D) Spending little money.
( )50. Which of the following is NOT one of the features of MOOCs?
(A) It is free to take the courses.
(B) Many courses are offered by famous universities.
(C) Most courses address artificial intelligence.
(D) Many students can take the course at the same time.
( )51. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
(A) The impact of MOOCs. (B) The goal of MOOCs.
(C) The size of MOOC classes. (D) The cost of MOOC courses.
( )52. Which of the following is a problem of MOOCs mentioned in the passage?
(A) The disappearance of traditional course materials.
(B) The limited number of courses offered around the world.
(C) The overreliance on professors from prestigious universities.
(D) The lack of social interaction among students and professors.

Today the car seems to make periodic leaps in progress. A variety of driver assistance technologies are appearing on new cars. A developing technology called Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication, or V2V, is being tested by automotive manufacturers as a way to help reduce the number of accidents. V2V works by using wireless signals to send information back and forth between cars about their location, speed and direction, so that they keep safe distances from each other. Another new technology being tested is Vehicle-to-Infrastructure communication, or V2I. V2I would allow vehicles to communicate with road signs or traffic signals and provide information to the vehicle about safety issues. V2I could also request traffic information from a traffic management system and access the best possible routes. Both V2V and V2I have the potential to reduce around 80 percent of vehicle crashes on the road.
More and more new cars can reverse-park, read traffic signs, maintain a safe distance in steady traffic and
brake automatically to avoid crashes. Moreover, a number of firms are creating cars that drive themselves to a chosen destination without a human at the controls. It is predicted that driverless cars will be ready for sale within five years. If and when cars go completely driverless, the benefits will be enormous. Google, which already uses prototypes of such cars to ferry its staff along Californian freeways, once put a blind man in a prototype and filmed him being driven off to buy takeaway hamburgers. If this works, huge numbers of elderly and disabled people can regain their personal mobility. The young will not have to pay crippling motor insurance, because their reckless hands and feet will no longer touch the wheel or the accelerator. People who commute by car will gain hours each day to work, rest, or read a newspaper.
( )53. Which of the following statements is true about V2V?
(A) V2V communication has been very well developed.
(B) Through V2V, drivers can chat with each other on the road.
(C) V2V is designed to decrease crashes by keeping safe distances.
(D) Through V2V, a car can warn cyclists nearby of its approach.
( )54. What does “infrastructure” in Vehicle-to-Infrastructure refer to?
(A) Traffic facilities and information systems.
(B) The basic structure of roads and bridges.
(C) Knowledge and regulations about safe driving.
(D) The traffic department of the government.
( )55. Which of the following is NOT a potential benefit of driverless cars?
(A) The elderly will become more mobile.
(B) “Drivers” can sleep in cars all the way to work.
(C) People can race cars to their heart’s content.
(D) A blind man can get into a car and travel safely.
( )56. What can be inferred from the passage?
(A) Cars will refuse to start if the driver is drunk.
(B) The future may be a vehicle-accident-free era.
(C) Everyone, including children, can afford a car.
(D) The production of driverless cars is still far away.

Though smartphones have proven very useful and also given us a lot of enjoyment, some people have suffered a lot from their smartphone addiction. Take Kevin and his girlfriend Karen as an example. They were addicted to their smartphone, so their teacher ordered that they should put their smartphones in her office while they were at school. Yesterday, after a long day at school, they could not wait to get their smartphones back. On their way home, Kevin and Karen did not talk with each other at all, as if their
smartphones had become their intimate companions. Karen was so absorbed in her instant messages that she bumped into a tree, injured her head and began to bleed badly. However, Kevin was deafened by the music on his smartphone, so he did not hear his girlfriend calling for help. Fortunately, a woman walking behind Karen sent her to a nearby hospital immediately. Kevin just kept walking, not noticing what had happened.
Suddenly a car was approaching Kevin very fast from behind. The driver could not stop the car because the brakes did not work! He kept honking the horn, but Kevin did not hear it. Unfortunately, the car hit Kevin, and he was also sent to a nearby hospital. When he woke up in the hospital, Kevin found that some of his ribs and both legs had been broken. He then thought of Karen and gave her a call. “You deserve it! I want to break up with you! It’s all over!” Karen furiously yelled into her phone. Then, Karen began to send instant messages with her smartphone to complain to her best friend, and Kevin just put on his earphones again and let his favorite song, which he listened to on his smartphone, comfort him.

然而，這個旅遊勝地將很快消失。根據氣候變遷小組，一個由全球環保人士所組成以記錄全球暖化效 應的組織，吉力馬札羅山的雪與冰河正在消融中，在 2020 年之前就可能消失。不但峰頂將失去其對 旅客的吸引力，積雪的消失也將對山腳下乾燥的非洲平原上的生態系統造成嚴重的破壞。沒有積雪覆 蓋峰頂，將沒有足夠的濕氣與水滋養下面的植物與動物。上升的氣溫是全球暖化的影響之一，因而威 脅到山區的生態系統。5,892 公尺高峰上的雪已存在了大約 11,700 年，失去了這些雪可能會對坦尚尼 亞造成災難性的影響。

事實上，大多數人們在思考之前就已做了決定。當人們遭遇到一個複雜的議題並形成想法時，在 下決定之前，人們會有多周全地檢視所有重要的因素呢？答案是，不非常周全，無論他們是經營者、
專家、或是街上的一般人。無論有多麼聰明或是多麼有經驗，非常少數的人能夠在短時間內考慮到一 個政策或一項行動所有的可能性或結果。那些以其相當果決而自豪的人常常在事先盡力考慮所有因 素。然而，對他們來說，在他們有時間考慮之前就想出一個決定，是很稀鬆平常的。而想法一旦形成，
那麼大部份的思考都只是在為想法尋找支持。

三、文意選填
在說英語的文化裡，孩子名字的選擇可能會受很多因素影響，諸如傳統、宗教、自然、文化、時 尚等。
有些人喜歡取一個家族中流傳下來的名字，以尊敬、懷念一個他們所愛、所景仰的親戚。有些家 庭傳統上會將父親的名字傳給第一個出生的兒子。在其他家庭中，姓氏會包括在一個孩子名字的選擇 中，讓家庭的姓氏流傳下去。舉例來說，可能會將媽媽娘家的姓氏放入名字中。
長久以來，宗教也在孩子命名這方面扮演了重要的角色。例如約翰、彼得、湯瑪士這類男孩的名 字是從聖經裡選出來的。像是費絲（忠誠）、佩欣絲（耐心）、蘇菲（智慧）這類女孩的名字象徵了 基督徒的特質。然而，不一定有宗教信仰但卻喜愛自然的人，會偏好有關於美麗事物的名字。像是海 瑟（石南花）、蘿絲瑪麗（迷迭香）、艾莉絲（鳶尾花）等花名與植物名就屬於這一類。
另一個大大影響名字選擇的因素是透過媒體所傳播的文化。人們會因為深受一本書或一部電視劇 的角色所吸引而選擇某個名字；他們也可能以名人或他們喜歡的男女演員的名字來命名。有時候人們 也可能為孩子挑選一個外國名字，因為那樣的名字不常見，因此讓他們的孩子更獨特、更不同。
最後，有些人就只是挑選一個聲音聽起來喜歡的名字，而不管其意義、起源或是受歡迎的程度。
然而，在做選擇的時候，甚至這些人可能看日曆挑選一個幸運日。
31. show respect for 尊敬。
32. 介系詞of之後可接名詞或動名詞。pass down 流傳。
33. 不定詞to之後應接用原形動詞。keep + N. + adj./V-ing/p.p. 使……保持……。
34. 句首通常填入名詞，作為一個句子的主詞。由下文Bible（聖經）可聯想到religion（宗教）。
35. 分詞片語involving things of beauty修飾前方的名詞。動詞involve在此處可譯為「有關於」。
36. 本格需要填入一個動詞。fall into 屬於……類別。
37. 冠詞a之後應填入單數名詞。have a great impact on 對……有很大的影響。
38. be drawn to 受……吸引。
39. 副詞more（更）修飾兩個平行的形容詞，且unique（獨特的）語意與distinctive（不同的）接近。
40. regardless of 不管。

美國作家托妮•莫里森於 1931 年出生於俄亥俄州。她在非裔美國人的家庭中被撫養長大，家庭裡 充滿了南方的歌曲與故事，這些後來形塑了她的散文。儘管社會上有著種族歧視的氛圍，她快樂的家 庭生活讓她在學校有傑出的表現。

以下摘錄自與健康政策專家齊基•伊曼紐的訪談，內容關於他出名的弟弟們。
訪談者：你是芝加哥市長拉姆的哥哥，也是極度成功的影藝經紀人艾里的哥哥。而你是生物倫理 學家，也是歐記健保的設計者之一。寫一本書關於你的家人有多麼優秀會不會有點奇 怪？
齊基：我並不是寫一本書關於我的家人有多優秀。這本書裡有許多白癡及愚笨的行為—許多可以 取笑的事情。我寫《伊曼紐兄弟》這本書是因為我之前開始為我的孩子草草記下一些故事。
然後，我們開始有一些疑問；媽媽在穀物裡面放了什麼？三個成功的兄弟，在不同的領域。
訪談者：你將伊曼紐兄弟的成功歸因於什麼？
齊基：我會把「成功」這個字放在引號裡。我們是很努力。第一，我們向母親學習努力，讓這個 世界變成一個更好的地方。第二件重要的事情是你永遠不能沉溺於上一次的勝利。永遠都 還有該做的事。而也許第三件重要的事情是我父親的勸告：進攻就是最好的防衛。我們不 會放棄。
訪談者：你現在還是沒有電視嗎？
齊基：我沒有電視。我沒有汽車。我不用臉書。我不發推特文章。
訪談者：但是你有四支手機。
齊基：謝天謝地，我現在只剩下兩支。
訪談者：你兩個弟弟是全國風靡的對象。你覺得他們未來五年會在哪裡？
齊基：艾里將會是超級經紀人，營運同一家公司。拉姆仍會是芝加哥市長。我可能會繼續學術這 條路。有一件事我敢保證，我們沒有人會去搭郵輪享受，沒有人會坐在沙灘上享用鳳梨萊 姆酒。
45. 當齊基•伊曼紐說「媽媽在穀物裡放了什麼」，他心裡在想什麼？
(A)養出成功的孩子的祕訣。 (B)早餐的食譜。
(C)兄弟之間不同之處。 (D)他孩子的疑問。
46. 在這段訪談中，齊基•伊曼紐對於所提到的現代的便利有什麼想法？
(A)永遠不嫌晚。(B)熟能生巧。 (C)沒有太多也能活。 (D)它們是很棒的發明。

(C)他們努力想要讓父母感到榮耀。 (D)他們即使在大大的成功之後仍然不斷向前。
48. 下列何者是齊基•伊曼紐針對最後一個問題的回答最佳的摘要？
(A)兄弟們期待全家一起搭遊輪旅行。 (B)在不久的將來，他們不會有什麼改變。
(C)他們的目標是更高的地位與權力。 (D)兄弟之中沒有人會去海灘。
45. 本題屬於指涉題的一種，可由上下文推知文意。
46. 本題為推論題。齊基•伊曼紐提到他沒有電視、沒有汽車、不用臉書、不發推特文章，但他仍舊是成功 者。由此可推知即便沒有太多這些東西，他仍能夠過生活。
47. 本題為細節題。齊基•伊曼紐提到you never rest on the last victory。
48. 本文為推論題。由回答中的the same、still、continue to be等用語可知，在不久的將來，他們不會有什麼 太大的改變。

MOOC是大規模網路線上公開課程，目標是透過網路提供大規模的互動參與以及開放的使用權。除 了傳統的課程教材，例如影片、閱讀、問題組等，MOOC會提供互動的使用者論壇，協助學生、教授、
助教建立社群。
MOOC帶來第一波浪潮是在2011年的秋天，當時史丹佛大學的塞巴斯蒂安‧史朗教授對各地學生開 放了他為研究所程度所開設的人工智慧課程，超過190個國家的十六萬名學生註冊。這類新的線上課程 在許多方面撼動了高等教育的世界。既然課程可以讓數十萬名學生同時修習，大學的數量可能會大幅減 少。史朗教授甚至已看到了未來，全世界只需要十所大學。或許，關於MOOC最顯著的一點是免費，儘 管有很多課程是由名校教授所開設。這對於缺錢的學生來說無疑是個好消息。
關於MOOC有許多令人興奮之處與令人害怕之處。雖然很多人說，免費的線上課程是增加少數族裔 學生註冊的好方法之一，其他人卻說，這些課程會使很多學生落後。有些評論者說，MOOC提倡的是一 種不切實際的、一體適用的高等教育模式，無法取代教授與學生之間真實的對話。畢竟，人腦不是電腦。
我們不是空白的硬碟，等著被灌輸資料。人們會從所愛的人身上學習，記得引發情緒的事情。有些評論 者擔心，線上學生將會錯過大學的社交層面。
49. 在第二段中，這個字“cash-strapped”是什麼意思？
(A)賺很多錢。 (B)缺錢。 (C)用錢小心。 (D)花錢很少。

51. 第二段主要關於什麼？
(A) MOOC的影響。 (B) MOOC的目標。
(C) MOOC的課程規模。 (D) MOOC的課程花費。
52. 下列何者是本文中提到關於MOOC的問題之一？

(C)過度依賴名校的教授。 (D)缺乏學生與教授之間的社交互動。
49. 本題為詞彙題，可由上下文推敲詞意。由前文free（免費）可推知，線上課程會對缺錢的學生有幫助。
50. 本題為是非題。本文僅提到史朗教授開設了一門關於人工智慧的MOOC課程，但並未提到大多數的 MOOC課程與人工智慧有關。
51. 本題為主旨題。從第二段中下列這個句子可推知本段主旨：This new breed of online classes is shaking up the higher education world in many ways.

現在汽車的進展似乎有週期性的大躍進。各式各樣協助駕駛人的科技在新型的汽車上出現。有一項 發展中的科技稱為車輛對車輛的通訊，或者稱為V2V，正由汽車製造商測試中，是有助於減少車禍的方 法。V2V的運作是藉由使用無線訊號，在車輛之間來回傳送關於位置、速度、方向的資訊，如此一來。
車輛彼此之間就能保持安全距離。另一項正在測試中的新科技是車輛對設施的通訊，或者稱為V2I。V2I 能讓車輛與路標或交通號誌溝通，提供車輛關於安全議題的資訊。V2I也能從交通管理系統得到資訊，
並取得最佳的可能路徑。V2V與V2I都有潛力減少道路上大約百分之八十的車輛相撞。
愈來愈多新車能夠倒車停車、讀懂交通號誌、在穩定的交通中保持安全距離、以及自動剎車避免相 撞。除此之外，一些公司正在創造不用人來控制就能開往目的地的汽車。預估五年內將會準備好販售無 駕駛的車輛。若當汽車完全不需駕駛人，好處會很大。谷歌已使用那種汽車的原型在加州的高速公路上 載員工，也有一次把盲人放在汽車原型中，並拍下他被載離、去買外帶的漢堡。如果這能夠成功，許多 老人與殘障人士能夠重獲其個人的行動力。年輕人將不必支付大傷荷包的汽車保險，因為他們冒失的手 腳將不再碰到方向盤或油門。搭車通勤的人們每天可以得到時間工作、休息、或是讀報紙。
53. 關於V2V，下列敘述何者為真?
(A) V2V通訊已發展完善。
(B) 透過V2V，駕駛人在路上可以跟彼此聊天。
(C) V2V設計用來保持安全距離，以減少相撞。
(D) 透過V2V，汽車能夠警告附近的腳踏車騎士即將有汽車靠近。
54. 在車輛對設施中，“infrastructure”指的是什麼？
(A)交通設施與資訊系統。 (B)道路與橋樑的基礎結構。
(C)關於安全駕駛的知識與規定。 (D)政府的交通部門。
55. 下列何者並「非」無駕駛汽車潛在的好處之一？
(A)老人將變得更有行動力。 (B)「駕駛人」能夠在汽車裡一路睡覺去上班。
(C)人們可以隨心所欲開車競速。 (D)盲人可以進汽車並且安全地旅行。
56. 從本文中可以推論出什麼？
(A)如果駕駛人酒醉，汽車將拒絕發動。 (B)未來可能會是無車禍的時代。
(C)每個人都能買得起汽車，包括小孩。 (D)製造無駕駛汽車仍然很遙遠。
53. 本題為是非題。在第一段介紹V2V時提到：help reduce the number of accidents、keep safe distances from each other。
54. 本題為詞彙題。在第一段介紹V2I時提到：road signs or traffic signals、a traffic management system。
55. 本題為是非題。無駕駛汽車的好處在第二段中提到，「不」包括人們可以隨心所欲開車競速。
56. 本題為推論題。本文提到一些避免車禍的新科技，因而可推論出，若這些新科技成熟發展後，未來將不 會有車禍。
非選擇題
一、中譯英
1. 須注意正確的搭配用法。例如「高薪工作」應譯為 well-paid jobs。此外，本題中文原文裡有三個 動詞（辭掉、返回、種植），應使用連接詞、不定詞等將動詞串連起來，將中文句子翻譯成文法正 確的英文句子。
2. 「藉由」可使用介系詞 with；「不但……還……」可使用句型 not only…but also…。本題中文原文 裡亦有三個動詞（成功、獲利、過生活），可使用分詞構句來翻譯，使句子更富變化。此外，須注 意正確的搭配用法，例如「過……的生活」應譯為 lead/live a/an … life。
二、英文作文
重點單字： 重點片語：
addiction n. 成癮 suffer from… 受……之苦
deafen v. 使聾 take…as an example 以……為例 brake n. 剎車 be addicted to… 沉迷於……
honk v. 按喇叭 as if 彷彿
horn n. 喇叭 be absorbed in… 全神貫注於……
rib n. 肋骨 bump into 撞上
furiously adv. 暴怒地 break up with… 與……分手
中 譯：
雖然智慧型手機已讓我們的生活充滿更多樂趣，有些人卻因上癮而受苦。以凱文與凱倫這對情侶 為例。他們對智慧型手機上癮，所以老師命令他們，在學校時必須把手機放在老師的辦公室。昨天，
在學校裡漫長的一天之後，他們等不及把手機拿回來。在回家的路上，凱文與凱倫什麼也沒說，彷彿 手機才是他們的另一半。凱倫如此全神貫注於即時訊息，以致於撞上了一棵樹。她留了很多血。然而，
凱文因為手機上所播放的音樂而像是聾了一樣，聽不到女友在呼救。幸運地是，走在凱倫之後的一名 女子立刻送她到附近的醫院。凱文繼續走，沒有注意到發生了什麼事情。突然間，凱文身後來了一輛 很快的車。駕駛無法停車，因為剎車失靈！他不斷按喇叭，但是凱文沒有聽見。不幸地是，這輛車撞 上凱文，他也被送往附近的醫院。當凱文在醫院裡醒來時，他發現肋骨跟腿都斷了。他才想起了凱倫，
打電話給她。凱倫在電話中生氣地大吼：「你活該！我要跟你分手！一切都結束了！」然後，凱倫用她 的智慧型手機傳了一封即時訊息跟她最好的朋友抱怨，而凱文只是把耳機再戴上，讓智慧型手機上他 最喜歡的歌曲安慰他。
解 析：
本文的主題句點出有些人深受智慧型手機上癮之苦，下文以一個實際例子為佐證。本文的故事詳 實地根據漫畫內容發展，例如圖中出現男學生、女學生、手機、帶著小孩的媽媽、女學生撞到樹、按 喇叭的車子等，都有在故事中提及。此外，本文亦添加了與故事主軸相關的細節，例如，男學生與女 學生原本是情侶，最後因智慧型手機分手。發揮一點想像力，會讓故事內容更有趣。最後的結局是，
兩人分手後，女學生仍然沉溺於智慧型手機的即時通軟體，男學生仍然聽著智慧型手機裡的音樂，呼 應前文 as if their smartphone were their honey，而且在大禍臨頭之後仍不知改進，可反映出兩人對智慧 型手機的癮真的很重，也讓讀者有不勝唏噓的感受。
