The local number, 29 , must always be dialed in its entirety.
The area code was introduced in the United States in 1947. It was created 30 the format of XYX, with X 31 any number between 2-9 and Y being either 1 or 0. Cities and areas with higher populations would have a smaller first and third digit, and 1 as the center digit. New York, being the largest city in the United States, was 32 the 212 area code, followed by Los Angeles at 213.

Generally there are two ways to name typhoons: the number-based convention and the list-based convention. 35 the number-based convention, typhoons are coded with various types of numbers such as a 4-digit or a 6-digit code. For example, the 14th typhoon in 2003 can be labeled 36 as Typhoon 0314 or Typhoon 200314. The 37 of this convention, however, is that a number is hard to remember.
The list-based convention, on the other hand, is based on the list of typhoon names compiled in advance by a committee, and is more widely used.
At the very beginning, only 38 names were used because at that time typhoons were named after girlfriends or wives of the experts on the committee. In 1979, however, male names were also included
because women protested against the original naming practice for reasons of 39 equality.
In Asia, Western names were used until 2000 when the committee decided to use Asian names to raise Asians’ awareness of typhoons. The names were chosen from a name pool 40 of 140 names, 10 each from the 14 members of the committee. Each country has its unique naming 41 . Korea and Japan favor animal names and China likes names of gods such as Longwang (dragon king) and Fengshen (god of the wind).
After the 140 names are all used in order, they will be 42 . But the names can be changed. If a member country suffers great damage from a certain typhoon, it can 43 that the name of the typhoon be deleted from the list at the annual committee meeting. For example, the names of Nabi by South Korea, and Longwang by China were 44 with other names in 2007. The deletion of both names was due to the severe damage caused by the typhoons bearing the names.
(A) disadvantage (B) replaced (C) recycled (D) either (E) request (AB) preferences (AC) female (AD) following (AE) composed (BC) gender

An alcohol breath test (ABT) is often used by the police to find out whether a person is drunk while driving. In the United States, the legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08% for people aged 21 years or older, while people under 21 are not allowed to drive a car with any level of alcohol in their body. A “positive” test result, a result over the legal limit, allows the police to arrest the driver.
However, many people who tested positive on the test have claimed that they only drank a “non- alcoholic” energy drink. Can one of these energy drinks really cause someone to test positive on an ABT? Researchers in Missouri set up an experiment to find out.
First, the amount of alcohol in 27 different popular energy drinks was measured. All but one had an alcohol level greater than 0.005%. In nine of the 27 drinks, the alcohol level was at least 0.096%. The scientists then investigated the possibility that these small levels of alcohol could be detected by an ABT. They asked test subjects to drink a full can or bottle of an energy drink and then gave each subject an ABT one minute and 15 minutes after the drink was finished.
For 11 of the 27 energy drinks, the ABT did detect the presence of alcohol if the test was given within one minute after the drink was taken. However, alcohol could not be detected for any of the drinks if the test was given 15 minutes after the drink was consumed. This shows that when the test is taken plays a crucial role in the test result. The sooner the test is conducted after the consumption of these drinks, the more likely a positive alcohol reading will be obtained.
45. What is the purpose of the Missouri experiment?
(A) To challenge the current legal alcohol limit for drivers in the United States.
(B) To warn about the dangers of drinking energy drinks mixed with alcohol.
(C) To introduce a new method of calculating blood alcohol levels.
(D) To discover the relation between energy drinks and ABT test results.
46. For a person who just turned 20, what is the legal alcohol level allowed while driving in the US?
(A) 0.096%. (B) 0.005%. (C) 0.000%. (D) 0.080%.
47. What is the most important factor that affects the ABT test result for energy drink consumers?
(A) The place where the test is given. (B) The time when the test is taken.
(C) The age of the person who takes the test. (D) The equipment that the test uses.

Forks trace their origins back to the ancient Greeks. Forks at that time were fairly large with two tines that aided in the carving of meat in the kitchen. The tines prevented meat from twisting or moving during carving and allowed food to slide off more easily than it would with a knife.
By the 7th century A.D., royal courts of the Middle East began to use forks at the table for dining.
From the 10th through the 13th centuries, forks were fairly common among the wealthy in Byzantium. In the 11th century, a Byzantine wife brought forks to Italy; however, they were not widely adopted there until the 16th century. Then in 1533, forks were brought from Italy to France. The French were also slow to accept forks, for using them was thought to be awkward.
In 1608, forks were brought to England by Thomas Coryate, who saw them during his travels in Italy. The English first ridiculed forks as being unnecessary. “Why should a person need a fork when God had given him hands?” they asked. Slowly, however, forks came to be adopted by the wealthy as a symbol of their social status. They were prized possessions made of expensive materials intended to impress guests. By the mid 1600s, eating with forks was considered fashionable among the wealthy British.
Early table forks were modeled after kitchen forks, but small pieces of food often fell through the two tines or slipped off easily. In late 17th century France, larger forks with four curved tines were developed. The additional tines made diners less likely to drop food, and the curved tines served as a scoop so people did not have to constantly switch to a spoon while eating. By the early 19th century, four-tined forks had also been developed in Germany and England and slowly began to spread to America.
48. By which route did the use of forks spread?
(A) GreeceMiddle EastItalyFranceEngland (B) GreeceMiddle EastFranceItalyGermany (C) Middle EastFranceEnglandItalyGermany (D) Middle EastGreeceEnglandItalyFrance 49. What is the passage mainly about?
(A) The spread of fork-aided cooking.
(B) The history of using forks for dining.
(C) The development of fork-related table manners.
(D) The different designs of forks.
50. Why were forks made into a curved shape?
(A) They looked more fashionable in this way.
(B) They could be used to scoop food as well.
(C) They ensured the meat would not twist while being cut.
(D) They were designed in this way for export to the US.
51. How did forks become popular in England?
(A) Wealthy British considered dining with forks a sign of social status.
(B) Wealthy British thought it awkward to use their hands to eat.
(C) Wealthy British were impressed by the design of forks.
(D) Wealthy British gave special forks to the nobles as luxurious gifts.

In the nineties, some people believed that products made in other countries were of better quality than any product made in Taiwan. Also, politicians in Taiwan was joked about, since legislators often fought during parliamentary sessions. It is clear that Taiwan did not project a good image around the world. To enhance its international image, Taiwan can use either “hard power” or “soft power.” Obviously, the latter is a better option. “Soft power,” a term coined by Joseph Nye, refers to the ability to get what one wants through attraction rather than through coercion. Countries demonstrate soft power by actively engaging in foreign assistance during natural disasters and energetically stimulating economic development. According to Nye, soft power is the ultimate way for a country to improve its image.
Taiwan has made every effort to display its soft power in recent years, and has gained a good reputation worldwide. The Tzu Chi Foundation, for instance, wins respect for offering emergency assistance to other nations that are suffering from natural disasters. Chen Shu-chu, a vegetable vendor, was selected as Time magazine’s one hundred most influential people in 2010 for donating much of her modest income. Lu Yen-hsun made the headlines for being the first Asian tennis player to have reached the quarterfinals at Wimbledon since 1995. Taiwan also displays soft power with its technology and economic development. The Greenwalking, a Taiwanese invention, is an animated crosswalk signal for
pedestrians that has been used in several developed countries. Without a doubt, the phrase “Made in Taiwan” has shone in every corner of the globe. Boosted by super figures and creations, Taiwan is now associated with quality. This is the result of the hard work of many creative people, competitive Taiwanese companies, and open-handed organizations.
52. According to Joseph Nye, which of the following is the demonstration of soft power?
(A) The German invasion into Poland in 1939.
(B) The United States’ attack on Iraq in 2003.
(C) The French military launched air raids against Islamic State, following the deadly terrorist attack in Paris.
(D) Taiwan has successfully raised its profile through building globally recognized brands, such as Giant and HTC Corp.
53. Based on the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
(A) Taiwan projected a good image around the world in the nineties. .
(B) Taiwan has earned its reputation partly because of its development of technology.
(C) Striving to leave the negative image behind, Taiwan singles itself out through its use of soft power.
(D) For a country, soft power is ultimately a more effective way to improve its image.
54. What is the tone of the reading?
(A) Sarcastic. (B) Inspiring. (C) Indifferent. (D) Doubtful.
