IV. 文 1 分, 共 5 分 意選填（每題 ）
Generally there are two ways to name typhoons: the number-based convention and the list-based convention. Following the number-based convention, typhoons are coded with 41 types of numbers such as a 4-digit or a 6-digit code. For example, the 14th typhoon in 2003 can be labeled either as Typhoon 0314 or Typhoon 200314. The 42 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 43 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 gender equality.
In Asia, Western names were used until 2000 when the committee decided to use Asian names to 44 Asians’ awareness of typhoons. The names were chosen from a name pool composed of 140 names, 10 each from the 14 members of the committee. Each country has its unique naming preferences.
Korea and Japan 45 animal names and China likes names of gods such as Longwang (dragon king) and Fengshen (god of the wind).
(A) female (B) favor (C) disadvantage (D) raise (E) various

B ） Animals are a favorite subject of many photographers. Cats, dogs, and other pets top the list,
followed by zoo animals. However, because it’s hard to get them to sit still and “perform on command,” some professional photographers refuse to photograph pets.
One way to get an appealing portrait of a cat or dog is to hold a biscuit or treat above the camera. The animal’s longing look toward the food will be captured by the camera, but the treat won’t appear in the picture because it’s out of the camera’s range. When you show the picture to your
friends afterwards, they’ll be impressed by your pet’s loving expression.
If you are using fast film, you can take some good, quick shots of a pet by simply snapping a picture right after calling its name. You’ll get a different expression from your pet using this
technique. Depending on your pet’s mood, the picture will capture an interested, curious expression or possibly a look of annoyance, especially if you’ve awakened it from a nap.
Taking pictures of zoo animals requires a little more patience. After all, you can’t wake up a lion! You may have to wait for a while until the animal does something interesting or moves into a position for you to get a good shot. When photographing zoo animals, don’t get too close to the cages,
and never tap on the glass or throw things between the bars of a cage. Concentrate on shooting some good pictures, and always respect the animals you are photographing.
49.Why do some professional photographers NOT like to take pictures of pets?
(A) Pets may not follow orders.
(B) Pets don’t want to be bothered.
(C) Pets may not like photographers.
(D) Pets seldom change their expressions.
50.What is the use of a biscuit in taking pictures of a pet?
(A) To capture a cute look.
(B) To create a special atmosphere.
(C) To arouse the appetite of the pet.
(D) To keep the pet from looking at the camera.
51.What is the advantage of calling your pet’s name when taking a shot of it?
(A) To help your pet look its best.
(B) To make sure that your pet sits still.
(C) To keep your pet awake for a while.
(D) To catch a different expression of your pet.
C ） The kilt is a skirt traditionally worn by Scottish men. It is a tailored garment that is wrapped
around the wearer’s body at the waist starting from one side, around the front and back and across the front again to the opposite side. The overlapping layers in front are called “aprons.” Usually, the kilt
covers the body from the waist down to just above the knees. A properly made kilt should not be so loose that the wearer can easily twist the kilt around the body, nor should it be so tight that it causes bulging of the fabric where it is buckled. Underwear may be worn as one prefers.
One of the most distinctive features of the kilt is the pattern of squares, or sett, it exhibits. The association of particular patterns with individual families can be traced back hundreds of years. Then in the Victorian era (19th century), weaving companies began to systematically record and formalize the system of setts for commercial purposes. Today there are also setts for States and Provinces, schools and universities, and general patterns that anybody can wear.
The kilt can be worn with accessories. On the front apron, there is often a kilt pin, topped with a small decorative family symbol. A small knife can be worn with the kilt too. It typically comes in a
very wide variety, from fairly plain to quite elaborate silver- and jewel-ornamented designs. The kilt can also be worn with a sporran, which is the Gaelic word for pouch or purse.
52.What’s the proper way of wearing the kilt?
(A) It should be worn with underwear underneath it.
(B) It should loosely fit on the body to be turned around.
(C) It should be long enough to cover the wearer’s knees.
(D) It should be wrapped across the front of the body two times.
53.Which of the following is a correct description about setts?
(A) They were once symbols for different Scottish families.
(B) They were established by the government for business purposes.
(C) They represented different States and Provinces in the 19th century.
(D) They used to come in one general pattern for all individuals and institutions.
54.Which of the following items is NOT typically worn with the kilt for decoration?
(A) A pin.
(B) A purse.
(C) A ruby apron.
(D) A silver knife.
55.What is the purpose of this passage?
(A) To introduce a Scottish garment.
(B) To advertise a weaving pattern.
(C) To persuade men to wear kilts.
(D) To compare a skirt with a kilt.
