The Beauty of Norway
Before traveling to Norway, all I had heard about this high-latitude1
country was its abundanceu of natural resources2, how extremely3 difficult
it was to travel there on a budget4, and, of course, Viking folklore5. It
wasn’t until I broadened6 my horizons by visiting Norway that I realized
there’s much more to tell about this country.
One thing that isn’t to be missed is the popular sightseeing7 trip
“Norway in a Nutshellu.” This tour, which can be arranged online, lets
travelers8 take in9 magnificent10 sights. Ferrying11 inland12 along the
fjordsu, visitors will be amazed by the steep13, awe-inspiring14 cliffs15 cut
out by glaciers16. Green trees grow on the sides of mountains capped with
white snow, where flowing waterfalls can sometimes be spotted. The boats
pass by several small, rural17 villages and farms located on the banks,
showing what civilization18 is like in this isolated19, heavenly20 world. In
a nutshell, the tour will make you see why visiting Norway is worth the
expense21.
閱讀理解請在下列選項中，選出最適合的答案。
q What is “Norway in a Nutshell”?

(A) A museum
(B) A kind of food
(C) A travel plan

w What does the writer think of Norway after traveling in the country?

Protecting Africa’s Beauty
Kruger National Park, in operation1 since 1927, is South Africa’s
oldest national park. Almost two-thirds the size of Taiwan, it is estimated2
that 300,000 animals, predators3 and prey4 alike, occupy5 the park. Some
one million tourists access6 the park every year to take an intimate7 look
at nature in its original8 condition.
Kruger Park is a safe and wonderful place to hike9 and get a little
taste of wild Africa—as long as you don’t go wandering10 off alone. There
are many large animals hiding in the bushes11. There is the possibility
of seeing a crocodile12 floating in the water, a herd13 of hippos lying
in the shade14, porcupine gnawing15 on bones, or one of the Big Five
mammals16—elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion, and leopard.
The park acts as a reserve17 to protect these beautiful animals from
mankind18. Hunting on the grounds is strictly forbidden19. More than
hunting, the spread of agriculture20 has destroyed their natural homes.
Only by carefully protecting these animals will we keep them from
vanishing21 completely.
q Why was Kruger National Park established?

(A) To protect the Big Five from other animals
(B) So zoo animals could live in the wild
(C) Because the animals needed protection from humans
(D) So people had a better place to hunt wild animals
w What best summarizes the article?

(A) South Africa protects its wild animals from humans.
(B) Kruger National Park is South Africa’s oldest park.
(C) Many animals live in Kruger National Park.
(D) Thanks to Kruger National Park, animals will not vanish completely.

masterpiece17 and UNESCO World Heritageu Site. This beautiful building
was designed and ornamented18 to house the Shrine19 of the Three Kings,
said to contain the bones of the biblicalu Wise Men. Understandably, the
cathedral is the most visited landmark in Germany. For the adventurous a
533-step climb up the tower affords20 marvelous21 views of the city.

onion—and Himmel un Aad, translated25 as “Heaven and Earth”, which

Finding Happiness in Denmark
Denmark is reported to be one of the happiest countries in the world,
and it’s easy to understand why. Its cities feel small and cozy1, yet contain
a variety of treasures. On top of this, the gorgeous2 countryside, with
dense3 forests and rolling farmlands, invites Danesu to stay in touch with
nature.
As evidenced by the country’s status4 as one of the most bicycle- Unit
friendly nations in the world, Denmark is a leader in green living. Over
5
12,000 kilometers5 of fairly6 flat bicycle tracks allow you to cycle across

islands, over bridges, and onto ferries. With an organized bike tour, you
can conveniently book a bike, choose your route7, and have your luggage
transferred8 from place to place.
Pedaling9 past a background10 of historic sites and rows of colorful
houses will acquaint11 you with Copenhagen’s overall12 outline13, but
several points of interestu deserve14 a closer look. New as well as old-
fashioned rides create a charming atmosphere 15 at the 175-year-old
amusement16 park Tivoli Gardens. You also shouldn’t overlook several
castles around Copenhagen. Kronborg Castle, the inspiration17 for the
setting of Shakespeare’s tragedy18 Hamlet, boasts stunning19 Renaissanceu
interiors20, and Rosenborg Castle houses the Danish crown21 jewels.
Why not conclude22 a tiring day of castle hopping with dinner in
Nyhavn? Once a commercial23 port, today it’s where locals go for food
and fun. The father of the modern fairy tale24, Hans Christian Andersen,
lived in Nyhavn and wrote some of his most famous stories there.
With cultural and natural attractions25, and where green living sits
high on the agenda26, Danes have much to smile about. Visit Denmark
and let some of that happiness rub offu!

Why would any adult want to visit Disneyland without kids? Many people
think the famous Disney q park is only for children, but the truth is

Life in a Frozen Land
At first glance1, the frozen Arcticu appears empty2 of life. The air
is so cold that bare skin freezes 3 within five minutes. Despite these
harsh4, dreadful5 conditions, this land sustains6 at least a dozen species
of wildlife7. Arctic animals are often fat, fluffyu creatures. They depend
on natural defenses8 to tolerate9 the winter environment. Their layers10
of fat and fluff keep them warm and protect them from icy winds. Many
grow distinctive white fur11 that allows them to hide in the snow, and
most animals move very slowly to preserve energy. In the spring, blades12
of grass will poke 13 up through the blanket 14 of snow, and colorful
wildflowers will flourish15 as the snow melts. Spring warmth16 will cause
white fur to change to colors that blend in with this new environment.
Many animals are so well adapted17 that they never leave the confines18 of
this geographical19 region.
q What is not used to explain how animals survive in the Arctic?

(A) Arctic animals have fur that matches the environment.
(B) Fluffy fur keeps the animals warm in icy winds.
(C) Animals move slowly so that they do not waste energy.
(D) The melting snow provides water for the animals.
w Which of the following could replace “poke up” in the passage?

(A) Dig
(B) Rise
(C) Punch
(D) Strike

The Benefits of Conserving Water
It is important to protect our environment, and one of the best
ways to do this is to conserve1 water. Water is one of the most valuable
resources on our planet. Water is used for drinking, growing crops, and
producing energy. Sadly, the world’s supply of water is under threat2.
People have persisted3 in neglecting4 water conservation, and changes in
the global5 climate mean that droughtsu and water-usage restrictions6 are
becoming increasingly common.
Hope is not lost. You can take simple steps that will make a big
difference. Using less water when showering and brushing your teeth
should be routine7, even if only to be financially8 sensible. To really
make an impact environmentally, you can campaign9 for government
water conservation projects. Campaigns may urge10 for a change to the
framework11 of conservation laws so that greater penalties12 are set for
violating13 minimum14 standards. The passage15 of such regulations16
would lead to changes in habits taking place at home and in industries
more swiftly.17
Agricultural18 businesses put the greatest demands19 on fresh water
worldwide. It’s vital20 that this industry use this resource responsibly.
Many farmers schedule 21 daily, automatic irrigation u of their crops.
However, paying attention to rainfall22 would make the watering of crops
unnecessary occasionally. Farmers should also recover23 excess24 water
before it absorbs chemicals from the ground and drains25 into public
water systems. The water could be reused rather than being allowed to
pollute26 streams and rivers. Manufacturers27 can also do their part by
making farming machines that irrigate efficiently.
Conserving water benefits everyone. Simply put28, it is a smart thing
to do. By conserving water, you can help save energy, money, and our
planet.

Nitrogen Footprint
In quest1 of a greener environment, many people are concerned2
about their carbon3 footprint. However, people hardly think about their
nitrogenu footprint—a measure of how much a person or corporation4
contributes5 to nitrogen pollution. Similar to carbon pollution in how it’s
made and how it affects the world, nitrogen pollution is a relatively6 new
and ongoing problem.
Of course, nitrogen isn’t fundamentally7 bad. Nitrogen is the fourth
most abundant8 element in the human body and is important in the
function of muscle and tissue. It’s used to preserve packaged foods by
preventing oxidation u. It has medical 9 uses, such as in anesthetics u
and antibioticsu. In addition, nitrogen finds widespread10 application
in the chemical and electronics industries, as well as in refrigeration
equipment11 and steel manufacturing. Almost 80 percent of the air we
breathe is composed of nitrogen as N2.
Since the industrial revolution, however, humans have been burning
fossil12 fuels13, which has released reactive nitrogen into the atmosphere.
Furthermore, reactive nitrogen is being poured into the ground as
fertilizer 14. In contrast 15 to N 2, reactive nitrogen negatively impacts
environmental and human health and is partly16 blamed17 for air and
water pollution, acid18 rain, and the destruction of ecosystems like the
Great Barrier19 Reef.
What can be done about it? Scientists suggest imposing20 a nitrogen
tax 21, which would encourage factories to use greener methods of
production 22. Also, products could be labeled with their nitrogen
footprint as a reminder23 for people to make informed24 choices about
their purchases25. As consumers26, we can reduce our nitrogen footprint
by choosing foods produced on sustainable farms, reducing our food
waste, and more.

w What is a harmful effect of reactive nitrogen?

(A) The Great Barrier Reef is growing quickly.
(B) Our fertilizer is becoming ineffective.
(C) It causes water levels to recede.

Could the q use of fertilizers be harmful to humans? The need for

turned to these methods to increase production of healthy crops. There is growing
e , however, that these crops are not as healthy as they appear. It is
believed that chemical fertilizers are r to blame for global warming, as
using more chemicals than the plants can absorb leads to the release of greenhouse
gases into the atmosphere. In addition, t professionals are worried that
these chemicals can lead to cancer and other diseases. Finally, large-scale use of
chemical fertilizers can actually do more harm than good, as it makes soil more

The War against Food Waste
Many of us get rid of food we can’t finish without much hesitation1.
But when we discard2 food, we’re contributing to a serious global issue3:
food waste. Roughly one-third of all food, 1.3 billion tons4 each year, is
wasted. Restaurants, especially all-you-can-eat buffets, discard heaps5 of
food daily. Supermarkets regularly exclude6 produce from shelves if it isn’t
attractive enough.
The consequences of wasting food are substantial7. Economically8,
food waste results in financial losses. Socially, wasted food is food that
could have been used to feed the poor. Environmentally, food loss
represents a waste of the Earth’s resources. For example, the amount
of land needed to grow all the world’s wasted food annually would be
around the size of China. Moreover, wasted food produces a large amount
of greenhouse9 gas emissions10.
Many countries intend11 to challenge food waste. French laws ban12
supermarkets from trashing13 unsold food. Instead, supermarkets give Unit
it away to charities. Germany has initiated 14 improvements to food 9
packaging so that consumers can better inspect15 the product, since the

sell-by date often doesn’t reflect16 the food’s actual state. In Taiwan, they’ve
instituted17 a program18 that sends kitchen waste to feed livestock 19.
There’s similar cooperation20 in Japan, where 35 percent of food waste
goes to pig farms.
Governments are leading the mission21 to reduce food waste, and you
can help. To begin with, shop wisely—don’t be tempted22 to buy food in
excess. Treat sell-by dates as guidelines23 rather than restrictions. Then,
learn how to store food so it doesn’t go bad easily. Lastly, in restaurants,
don’t leave leftoversu. Ask for a doggy bagu so you can gobble24 it down
later.

The Empire of the Incas
Around AD 1200, a tribal1 group of violent2, warlike people residing3
in Peru began invading4 and conquering5 neighboring clans6. They were
remarkably successful. By the 16th century, these warriors7, called the
Incas, ruled more than eleven million people, scattered8 over an area
almost thirty times the size of Taiwan.
The expansion 9 of this vast 10 empire 11 along the Pacific 12 coast
consisted of one group—the Incas—ruling over many smaller ones.
The Incas offered power and wealth to leaders that accepted their rule,
while the powerful Inca army threatened13 to crush14 any that opposed15
them or refused to submit16. The social and religious practices of newly
acquired followers were then absorbed into Inca customs.
The Inca emperor ruled with an iron fistu, with all but a few people
close to the emperor made to work. Inca subjectsu endured17 a lifestyle
closely resembling18 slaveryu. But they helped the empire grow into the
Western Hemisphere’su largest, wealthiest, and most powerful native
nation.
q What happened to a group that joined the Inca population?

(A) They had to stop their religious practices.
(B) They were forced to fight for the Inca army.
(C) They had to work hard for their Inca leader.
(D) They had to give all their money to the Incas.
w How did the Inca group become so big and strong?

(A) They built large buildings in Peru.
(B) They conquered many smaller groups.
(C) They were farmers and ate big meals.
(D) They bought all the land in Peru.

The Railway in Taiwan

The railway was the major means of transportation1 between cities
in Taiwan, and its creation2, rise, and fall reflect the changing times.
Construction of the first segments3 of railway in Taiwan started in the
Qing dynasty4, and a basic network5 was functioning under Japanese
colonial rule. The completion6 of the South-link line in 1993 enabled the
possibility of full, round-island journeys7. This was a milestone8 in the
history of transportation in Taiwan.
In the early years, the railway not only allowed people to commute9
between cities, but also fulfilled 10 a role as an industrial lifeline,
transporting commodities11 like sugar, coal, and timber12. Most industrial
freight13 railways have been abandoned14 for transportation by motor15
vehicles16, but some of them still have regular departures17 and arrivals18
for tourists, such as the forest train on Mount Ali. Other lines, like the
Pingxi and Neiwan lines, are blessed19 with lovely scenery20 and provide
places for outingsu.
More than just a structure21 of transportation networks, the railway is
a monument22 to the industrial and cultural development of Taiwan.
q Which of the following describes the train system during Japanese rule?
(A) The trains went completely around Taiwan.
(B) The first railways were being built.
(C) Trains only ran between important locations.
(D) The railway looked the same as it does now.
w What could be understood from the article?

(A) The railway was part of Taiwan’s development.
(B) The railway slowed Taiwan’s development.
(C) Taiwan developed without the railway.
(D) There are no more industrial trains in Taiwan.

Japan’s National Flowers
Flowers have had a great significance throughout the ages to people
of all nationalities1. When deciding upon their national flower, most
nations adopted flowers that are seen to possess2 historical or spiritual3
qualities.
In Japan, the official flower of the imperial 4 family is the
chrysanthemumu. Because the chrysanthemum blooms5 in autumn, the
season when most flowers die, it is appreciated6 for its strength7. The
Japanese imperial throne8 is often referred to9 as the Chrysanthemum
Throne, and the flower’s image10 can be seen on Japanese currency11 today.
However, many Japanese attach12 national pride to another flower—
the cherry blossom 13, known in Japanese as the sakura. The cherry
blossom, which blooms beautifully but briefly, has a reputation14 for
reflecting the samurai spiritu: the value of life is not in its length, which is
not eternal15, but in its weight of honor and glory16.
In the hearts of the Japanese, no floral symbol is more esteemed17
than these two: chrysanthemums for their history and representation of
authority, and cherry blossoms for conveying18 the delicate19 nature of
life.
q Why is the chrysanthemum the national flower of the imperial family?

(A) It is a strong flower that blooms in the spring.
(B) It was the first ruler’s favorite flower.
(C) It blooms at a time when other flowers do not.
(D) It was originally used as money in Japan.

Homestay Etiquette
Staying with a family in a foreign country can leave you with
priceless1 memories. Depending on how you conduct2 yourself on their
property3, your hosts may find the feeling mutual4. A little bit of courtesy5
will reflect favorably6 on you. By practicing good etiquetteu, both you and
your host family will be guaranteed7 an enjoyable8 experience.
If you want to make a good first impression, you can’t go wrong
by bearing gifts—especially something distinctive to your country.
It’s a gesture that shows your generosity 9 and forms an immediate 10
connection11 between you and the family. When they show you where you
can put your belongings12, you can ask if you need to negotiate13 certain
things like the times to use the kitchen or bathroom. That way you’ll
avoid any awkward14 situations during your stay. Once you understand
the house rules, be sure to abide by15 them.
Keep your bedroom tidy 16 . Offer to do the dishes, your own
laundry17, or other household18 chores19. Tell your hosts when you’re
going out. Some people might think it’s rude to use the telephone without
asking, especially if you are making long-distance phone calls. Don’t
fuss20 over small things, but if you do have a complaint21, let your hosts
know before it becomes a bigger problem. They will appreciate having the
chance to fix it while you’re there rather than afterward22. When it’s finally
time to depart and return to your own dwelling23, leave a short thank-you
note, and maybe send a postcard later on.
By following these practical 24 rules, your hosts will be very
grateful25—after all, you might be better behaved than their own kids!

To Tip, or Not to Tip?
As anyone who’s visited the United States will tell you, tipping in
America can be a real headache. In most countries, the rules for tipping
in a restaurant are pretty straightforward1. If a service charge is expected,
it is automatically2 included on your bill. In the US, however, it’s up to the
Unit
customer to judge how much the server3 deserves.
14
4
While the precise origin of tipping is uncertain, it is commonly

believed to have begun in seventeenth-century England. Overnight5
guests to private homes would give money to the host’s servants. Later,
people began tipping at coffeehouses and other establishments6. In the
19th century, rich American tourists brought the custom back home.
Gradually7, the custom became fixed in American culture. Tipping has
died out in England, but leaving no tip in the US should occur only when
the service is truly rotten.
A major reason for this tipping culture is that tipped employees earn
less than minimum wage8. Employers only pay three dollars per hour in
some states, meaning tips aren’t a bonus9—they’re a necessity10 for earning
a sufficient11 income. Many people protest12 that paying serving staff13 a
fair wage should be the employer’s responsibility14, not the customer’s.
Danny Meyer is a New York restaurateuru and the architect15 of a policy
he calls “hospitalityu included.” Ten of his restaurants have switched16 to
a strict no-tipping policy. Customers can’t expect to be stingy17, though.
The menu prices are raised to make up for waiters’ wages being bumped18
up; hence19 the final bill will be about the same.
It remains to be seen what results Meyer’s voluntary20 management21
decision will yield22. America’s obsession23 with tipping could potentially24
become a thing of the past!

(A) Customers pay servers’ wages directly.
(B) Customers decide if the servers deserve a tip or not.

A campaign for male and female actors to earn the same q for
movies is gaining many followers. It seems that the Hollywood w has
for many years been stingier with female actors. Over the past year, many wage
differences have been publicized and actresses have started to r about
it. The e amounts that female actresses are being underpaid by are not
always clear. Nonetheless, what is apparent is that male actors seem to automatically
get paid more to star in movies. In addition, they often earn higher bonuses for
promoting movies and helping to sell products with the movie’s logo on them.
Salaries for actresses are unlikely to be t overnight. However, many hope
that the movie industry will gradually change its payment policies. The industry
as a whole should take y for equal wages. It is hoped that this will be a
voluntary move if there are u calls for change. Swift action on this issue

The Importance of Moderation
You may have heard the following advice1 from a physician2: exercise,
drink lots of water, take vitamins, and eat a healthy diet3. But did you
know that many of the things that are supposed4 to be vital to your health
can also badly5 harm6 your body?
People who exercise a lot and drink water at every opportunity are
at risk of serious problems. Too much water can lead to a shortage7 of
essential salts in the body, causing the brain to swell8 and fluidu to leak9
into the lungs10, which would eventually be fatal11.
Too many vitamins can also cause health problems. Too much
vitamin A is associated12 with poor bone growth and liver damage. For
some, too much vitamin C can lead to kidney stones. Vitamin D can leave
calcium deposits13 in your tissue.
Even fiber14 can be bad at high levels, causing your body to stop
absorbing minerals15. If you are consuming too much of any of these
things, you should lighten16 up on your diet. The message is clear: don’t
overdo17 it!
q What could happen if a person drinks too much water?

(A) Salt levels in the brain increase.
(B) Water goes directly into the lungs.
(C) Material leaks into the brain.
(D) The brain becomes swollen.
w Which idea would best belong in paragraph three?

(A) A problem caused by too much vitamin E
(B) The benefits of taking vitamin C
(C) Ways to remove a kidney stone
(D) The effects of liver damage

to your ego19. All things considered, you won’t be disappointed20 with the
healthful21 effects of yoga.

Therapy Dogs
The elderly1 folks2 in the nursing home have little to do but sit, read,
and watch TV on a typical3 day. Many are lonely and most have health
limitations4. But today, the residents are in for5 a special treat, for two
dogs are coming to visit.
The effect is noticeable 6 as soon as the dogs come in the door.
There’s an immediate wave of smiles throughout the facility7, from the
patients in wheelchairs8, to visiting relatives9, to senior10 staff members.
The interaction11 magically12 transforms13 the atmosphere into one of
relaxation14 and playfulness, almost like a playground.
Dogs like these are in attendance15 at nursing homes, orphanages16,
and other facilities. Their purpose is to improve the mental well-being of
residents, and they can often be more helpful than doctors or medicine.
Studies have proven that petting and touching the dogs can relieve17
stress, lower blood pressure18, and ease depression and anxiety19. Perhaps
it’s true when they say, “laughter is the best medicine.”
q What is the dogs’ purpose at the nursing home?

(A) To teach the residents a new skill
(B) To help the residents in their daily life
(C) To play with residents and make them happy
(D) To help residents improve their memory
w Based on the article, what must residents do to receive benefits from the dogs?

Is MSG Actually Bad for You?
Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a substance1 that is most well-
known in North America for its use in Chinese food. It is used to
heighten2 the savory flavor of food. Some North Americans claim that
MSG induces3 an allergic4 reaction5, prompting many Chinese restaurants
to notify6 customers with signage reading “No MSG.” But is MSG really
bad for you?
MSG is a combination of glutamate—a naturally occurring amino
acid —and sodium, which is found in table salt. MSG has been regarded
u
as unhealthy for years due to7 many vague8 reports of people reacting to
it by getting ill. However, scientific9 research of MSG over the years has
found no solid10 evidence to support these stories.
One study did document11 that a small number of people responded12
badly to huge quantities of MSG consumed on an empty stomach, but
seldom13 would that occur outside of a laboratory. A series14 of tests was
conducted on people who made a declaration15 of being sensitive to MSG.
The examiners16 found that almost all of their claims were hollow17 and
were due to simply believing their food contained MSG. Participants18
told beforehand19 that they would be given MSG reported feeling unwell,
consciously 20 unaware they were not actually given any. Feelings of
sickness after eating are more likely due to high sodium levels, greasy21
foods, or overeating.
Researchers seem to indicate that there’s no reason to be
extra cautious 22 with MSG, and the United States Food and Drug
Administrationu (FDA) classifies23 it as safe. Of course, whether or not
you choose to indulge24 is still your callu.
124
q Why is MSG put into food?

(A) To charge more money for the food
(B) To make food less greasy
(C) To make people eat less
(D) To make food taste better
w Why couldn’t researchers prove that MSG causes illness?

(A) The researchers couldn’t get enough participants in their study.
(B) Several participants in the study never had Chinese food before.
(C) The researchers found the sodium levels too high for their study.
(D) Several participants in the study got sick without consuming MSG.

People who suffer from allergic q regularly are often given an allergy
test by the doctor. The aim of the test is to find out which substances will cause a
reaction. Participants in such a test will be given a(n) w of questions
beforehand to try to identify what they could be allergic to. Then various allergens
are placed on the skin. The examiner will document how the patient e
over the course of a week or two. Often these allergy tests will induce r
sensitivity and itching if the participant is allergic to something. It’s a scientific way
to test for allergies when a person only has a(n) t idea of what is making
them suffer.

A Red Light for Coffee
Everyone knows a red traffic light means you should stop moving
forward, but are they ready for a red dot to tell them to stop consuming
caffeineu for the day? Following an idea proposed by the Consumer
Protection1 Commission2, many coffee shops around the country are
now displaying the amount of caffeine in the drinks they offer. The system
employs3 the same color signs used by traffic signals—green means that
the amount of caffeine is lower than 100 milligrams, yellow between 100
to 200 milligrams, and red over 200.
Some people drink coffee to stay awake 4, others are fond 5 of its
fragrance 6. But for some, caffeinated u beverages induce insomnia 7,
anxiety, restlessness, or an irregular heartbeat. If you are the victim8 of
any of these miseries9, or if you are just trying to keep your money in your
savings10 account, try putting the brakes11 on coffee. However, abruptly12
ceasing 13 caffeine consumption has a tendency 14 to cause headache,
fatigue, and bad temper. These withdrawal15 symptoms are moderate16
and recovery from them takes a few days. A safer way to change your
habit is to keep tabs onu what you drink by scanning17 labels on drinks as
well as pain relievers. You can also make the withdrawal symptoms more
tolerable18 by cutting back gradually. Some find it useful to substitute19
herbal tea or decafu coffee.
Experts warn20 that a person’s daily intake of caffeine should be
restricted to 300 milligrams—and even less for adolescents21. With the
new visual22 system in place, customers will have no trouble monitoring23
their caffeine when grabbing24 a cup of joeu. Although it is not required
by law to follow the commission’s proposal25, officials say that most coffee
shops have committed26 to following the suggestion.
132
q Why does the writer talk about traffic lights?

(A) To introduce a system being used by coffee shops
(B) To tell readers to stop drinking coffee when driving
(C) To show that drinking coffee in a car is dangerous
(D) To say that readers should stop drinking coffee
w Using the new system, which of the following would not be advised by experts?
(A) Drinking a cup of red-dot coffee and a cup of green-dot coffee
(B) Drinking two cups of red-dot coffee
(C) Drinking three cups of green-dot coffee
(D) Drinking two cups of yellow-dot coffee

times. Ceasing the use of phones at night might be hard at first, but they will soon

The First Ferris Wheel
At any amusement park, the Ferris wheel is the most popular ride
for lovers of all ages. There is something romantic about the sensation1
of drifting2 so high up together. As the wheel turns, the noise from the
ground fades3 away into a murmur4, leaving the pair privately enclosed5
in their passenger car to enjoy precious6 quiet moments together.
At over eighty meters high and holding up to 2,160 passengers, the
first Ferris wheel was an extraordinary7 structural8 endeavor9. It was
erected10 for the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago and meant to rival11 the
Eiffel Tower, which had been built for the 1889 Paris expositionu. Though
delayed construction caused it to miss the opening ceremony12 in May,
the giant wheel made a full revolution13 without a creak14 in June, in turn
renewing15 interest in the World’s Fair that year.
On the night it was unveiled, the Ferris wheel met with a warm
reception16. Ladies wore ball gowns17, and gentlemen smoked cigars18.
Since then, the fascination with the Ferris wheel has lessened19, but
nonetheless20 the romance remains. It is a symbol of love from a time
gone by.
q What was special about the Ferris wheel made for the Chicago World’s Fair?
(A) It was made the same as the one in Paris.
(B) It was the first Ferris wheel ever made.
(C) It turned faster than the one in Paris.
(D) It was much larger than the one in Paris.
w What is true about today’s Ferris wheels?

(A) They are more popular than they were in the past.
(B) They are much larger than the ones of the past.
(C) They are still as romantic as the ones of the past.
(D) They are noisier than the ones of the past.

Toy Collectors
When you see adults in a toy store, they are not always buying
stuff1 for their children. Some are shopping for themselves. They are toy
collectors and are often just as enthusiastic2 when buying new toys as the
kids around them.
Toy collectors keep stocks3 of rare toys, antiques4, or toys that make
them recall 5 their childhoods 6. They join clubs, read toy-collecting
magazines, and put pictures of special toys on Internet sites7. If their value
is especially great, their owners may take out an insurance8 policy on
them.
For some, toy collecting is a profitable 9 investment 10. They do
research online and attend toy conventions11 around the world. It helps
them learn to calculate12 which goods13 have a high profit margin14.
In addition, they will often go to garage sales. Many families have
boxes of old toys—toys they think are junk15, but may in fact be prized
possessions16 that command17 thousands of dollars. These toys often get
dumped18 or sold at garage sales, giving a smart collector the opportunity
to seize19 some great bargains20.
q According to the article, what is special about the toys that collectors buy?
(A) They can only be found at garage sales.
(B) They are very expensive and only made by designers.
(C) They weren’t available in the past.
(D) They are hard to find and require research.
w What is the main topic of the fourth paragraph?

(A) How to sell toys at garage sales
(B) Why collectors shop at garage sales
(C) How to buy toys at garage sales
(D) Why people sell toys at garage sales

E-book Library
BiblioTech, opened in Texas in 2013, is a 100 percent digital1 public
library. Apart from2 some private university3 libraries, BiblioTech is the
first library to contain no physical books. This promising4 format5 has
dramatically6 changed the way we borrow books. Its success has led to
multiple7 branches in the San Antonio area and one satellite8 branch.
BiblioTech members are able to check out an e-reader for two weeks.
This grants9 everyone the privilege 10 of engaging11 in reading on an
e-reader even if one isn’t affordable12. The e-reader can be loaded up with
literature13 or educational14 materials.
Although the facility that houses BiblioTech was old, designers made
it appealing15 by making it resemble an Apple Store. This included having
a large number of iMacs, tablets16, and other gadgetsu available for the
public’s use.
The library opened with about ten thousand titles in circulation17 and
has received a steady18 100,000 visitors annually19. Evidently20 bookless
libraries are a hit, and BiblioTech may be the most influential21 library of
modern times.
q What has BiblioTech done?

(A) Made a big difference in the way we borrow books
(B) Offered free coffee and snacks to guests
(C) Made Apple products easier to buy
(D) Allowed people to borrow e-readers for two months
w How was the old facility improved to make it more attractive?

(A) The walls were knocked down and rebuilt.
(B) Musicians were invited to perform.
(C) It remained open twenty-four hours per day.
(D) It was made to look a lot like an Apple Store.

Fingerboarding: Skating at Your Fingertips
Have you ever wanted to skateboard but were too afraid of falling off
and injuring1 yourself? With a fingerboard, you can ollieu, kickflipu, and
grind2 to your heart’s content without ending up bruised3 and bloodied!
People of all ages can do it, and because it’s safe, there’s no need to buy
expensive protective gear, such as helmets4 or knee pads5.
A fingerboard is simply a tiny skateboard that you ride with your
fingers. They seemed to appear out of nowhere as key chain accessoriesu
in the 1980s. They then became a pop culture phenomenon 6 after
professional skateboarders were seen playing around with them in skate7
videos. Shortly8 after, fans were attempting9 their own fingerboard tricks
at home and showing off their technique10 on sites like YouTube. Today,
many fingerboard specialists11 have gained recognition12 on the Internet,
and hundreds of people flock to annual fingerboarding conventions and
competitive gatherings in places all over the world.
Fingerboarding can be done almost anywhere. Weighing only a few
ounces13, just tuck14 your portable15 board into your pocket and take it out
whenever the urge strikes. Or, when you need a quick break from your
work, shuttle16 it back and forth across your desk and make jumps over
your stationeryu. Many distributors offer complete sets of fingerboards
including all the tiny parts you need to get started. Some companies let
you create distinct characteristics17 for your fingerboard: choose vivid18
colors, change the wheels, or add glitter19! After you get yours, all you
need to rely20 on is your creativity21 to take part in this fun hobby. Go
ahead and give it a try—don’t let the fun slip through your fingers.
162
q Where were fingerboards first seen?

(A) In the background of skate videos

Bored? Play a Tabletop Game
A family is gathered together indoors1 after dinner, but they aren’t
communicating. The parents watch TV, while the kids surf2 the Internet.
Do these circumstances3 sound familiar? Fortunately4, there’s a simple
way to break down this communication barrier: play a tabletop game.
Unit
5
Tabletop games enable people to interact with one another 24
through laughter and sharing. By virtue of6 playing them, we are forced

to pay attention to others’ words and actions, which is the basis of
communication. We also get to spend quality time together. Besides
strengthening relationships, areas of our brains responsible for memory
formation7 can benefit from these games. A stronger brain has a lower
risk of disease. Consequently 8, another primary 9 benefit of playing
tabletop games is a reduced chance of cognitive10 difficulties, such as
those related11 to Alzheimer’s.
There are hundreds of tabletop games, but a few are particularly good
for developing our imagination12 and communication. Dixit Odyssey
comes with a set of cards that have colorful, fantastic images. In this
game, the “storyteller” gives an oral13 clue regarding14 a selected card, and
the other players must guess which card the storyteller used. If drawing
is your preferred mode15 of communication, there’s Pictomania. Players
furiously16 draw and guess what their opponents17 are drawing. Other
exciting games test your wits through role play. In a game with a Wild
West theme18 called Bang!, players take on various identities, and the
winner is determined by which characters manage19 to stay alive.
These and other tabletop games take entertainment to a whole new
level. They not only have a high fun factor20 and let us feel connected21 to
each other, but you might also start thinking like a genius22.

Idioms from Greek Mythology
There are many expressions in English that can be traced1 back to
Greek mythologyu. By looking into the stories behind these idioms2, we
can better understand their meanings.
According to legend, Achilles was Greece’s greatest warrior. However,
he was eventually killed in the Trojan War by an arrow shot through
his heel3. Nowadays4 we call someone’s weak spot their “Achilles’ heel.”
The war ended when the Trojans found an enormous5 wooden horse at
the outer6 city border7. Deceived8 into believing it a peace offering, they
naively9 rolled it inside. That night, Trojan soldiers were awakened and
killed by Greeks who had been hiding within. This is the origin of the
idiom “beware10 of Greeks bearing gifts.” Moreover11, a “Trojan horse”
describes a seemingly harmless program that actually compromises12
computer data, or generally anything that brings about defeat13 through
deception.
Greek mythology is full of tragic14 stories. To find more that impacted
the English language, look up the myths15 “Pandora’s box” to see how
curiosity16 brought evil17 into the world and the “Midas touch” to see how
helping a god’s companion18 led to the power to make anything golden.
q Which idiom describes something that lacks strength?

(A) Achilles’ heel
(B) Trojan horse
(C) Pandora’s box
(D) Midas touch
w Why did the Greeks give the Trojans a gift?

(A) To show off their skills
(B) To give the Trojans a trophy
(C) To trick the Trojans
(D) To give up the fight

William Shakespeare is considered the greatest writer in the English language.
His work has been translated into every major language and has influenced the
English language itself, with many q still being used nowadays. He wrote
a(n) w amount, including many poems and plays. One of his most famous
plays is Macbeth. It is a tragic story of the desire for power. In the play, the character
Macbeth hears from three witches that he will be king. His curiosity and ambition
is aroused. With his wife’s help, he kills the king and steals the Scottish kingdom. He
e his former companion and also has him killed. Macbeth becomes truly
evil as more murders follow. Even though the witches told Macbeth to beware, he is
eventually defeated when an army crosses the r from England. The play
is considered so horrifying that there is a(n) t that claims that it is cursed
and its name should never be spoken. Instead, it is often called “The Scottish Play.”
Nevertheless, it remains as one of Shakespeare’s most performed plays.

The Benefits of Speaking a Second Language
To many people, the point of learning a second language may not be
very obvious1. Recently, several studies have shown that learning a second
language provides benefits that extend beyond being able to speak with
different groups of people—it may actually make you smarter! Bilingual2
people tend to perform better on mental tasks such as problem-solving,
planning, and recalling details3. Those fluent4 in two languages have also
proven to excel5 at focusing on strictly useful information.
In regard to social advantages, bilingualism improves a person’s
ability to perceive6 emotions. Surprisingly, the ability to speak a second
language may even aid in the prevention of mental disorders7. It has been
demonstrated that as a person matures8, bilingualism delays the effects of
cognitive loss and can even increase the likelihood9 of recovering from a
stroke10.
It was once believed that bilingual children could suffer major
disadvantages11, such as developing learning difficulties or even split12
personalities 13. Thankfully 14, these beliefs have been proven false.
Nevertheless, it’s true that bilingual people are more likely to have weaker
verbal15 skills in both of the languages they speak since the knowledge
of one language causes interference16 with the other. Moreover, bilingual
people may have more trouble recalling a specific word.
Most would agree that the pros outweigh the cons. Across the world,
schools are adding more and more second-language programs to their
curriculum17. Sometimes certain academic18 subjects are even instructed19
in a second language to maximize20 student learning. Though the path
to bilingualism may be challenging, don’t despair21! With all its amazing
benefits, any time devoted to learning a second language is undoubtedly22
time well spent.
184
q In what way do bilingual people tend to improve their cognitive ability?

(A) They read information faster than average.
(B) They have more things to talk about with their families.
(C) They encounter more problems to solve.
(D) They become better at remembering things.
w What is a downside to learning more than one language?

(A) The person may get angry more easily.
(B) The person may lose his or her identity.
(C) The person may be slow to remember certain words.
(D) The person may suffer from a stroke.

In our ever-changing world, many parents are turning to more unusual

disadvantage learners in the modern age. All parents want their children to
w at school, but what this means exactly can vary greatly from family to
family. The curriculum in most traditional schools focuses on e learning,
getting good grades, and achieving a place at college or a good job upon graduation.
Some parents feel, however, that this does not allow for differences in r
and does not allow children to mature at their own pace. The pressure on children,
especially teenagers, in today’s society is t leading to increased levels of
stress and despair. This is one of the reasons why some parents are seeking something
new. The Montessori teaching method instructs children in open, mixed-age
classrooms and y free choice in their learning. Waldorf schools place a
lot of emphasis on freedom, social skills, and u communication. Foreign
languages are taught from an early age, allowing children to become i early
on. While there are obvious advantages to these methods, many worry that students
at these schools are disadvantaged in the college application process. Thankfully, more
colleges are recognizing the value of other forms of education, meaning that parents
have more choices now than ever before.

Watching Your Words:
The Issue of Political Correctness
Language is constantly changing, and a term that is morally 1
acceptable2 at one time and place might have a different interpretation3
at another. The effort to prevent offence4 by avoiding coarse5 language is
known as political6 correctness.
Take the adjective handicapped7 for instance. This word has become
offensive because it focuses on the negative aspect8 of a disease or accident
and defines a person in a nasty9 lightu. It is more proper10 to use person-
first terminologyu by saying a person with a handicap.
While there are some clear types of offensive language, such as
racial11 and sexist insults12, others are less obvious. For instance, words Unit
that contain the suffixu -man, like policeman and chairman13, have now 27
largely been replaced by genderless14 expressions such as police officer or
Watching Your Words: The Issue of Political Correctness

chairperson. Similarly, in some news publications15, the feminine16 suffix
-ess may also be avoided, so both men and women are now called actors.
The problem is that there is no general agreement in some of these cases.
Even seemingly obvious examples of politically incorrect words are
not always clear-cut. Generations17 prior18, the word negro was used
before being replaced by colored. This word gave way to the word black
and more recently African-American. However, black is the preferred
term for the majority19 of British people and has become commonplace20
again in the United States. In South Africa, the term colored is used to
refer to people of mixed-race origin, though elsewhere 21 it screams22
racismu.
Political correctness began as a movement to change the way
language influences our ideas. Although critics feel it sometimes goes too
far, its intentions23 are noble24. Language is a powerful weapon, and we
should be cautious not to discriminate25.

Mean and nasty teasing, or bullying, is a(n) q problem in many

schools. Some children are insulted on a daily basis. Most schools have the noble
intention to prevent bullying. However, many w that can lead to bullying
exist in a lot of schools. This is because most schools have a(n) e of
students who are part of a large group based on income level, race, language, or
ability. Students who are outside of this group for racial or gender reasons, or
because they are handicapped in some way, are more likely to be bullied. They are
r against at school and elsewhere. Even though most people consider
this morally unacceptable, there has been little political will in most countries to
make schools more inclusive. Proper, inclusive education would mean that the next
t would be more tolerant and instances of bullying would be reduced.

Tips for Remembering What You’ve Learned
When it’s time to prepare for an exam, many students study by
rereading their textbooks in earnest 1. However, drilling 2 the same
chapters3 over and over may not be the most economic4 occupation5 of
time. You get most of the useful information from a text during your
initial6 reading. The second time around, your mind tells you that you
know the information already. This makes you pay less attention to what
you’re reading.
A good strategy is to create questions about the material and then
try to answer them. If you’re learning about a war, ask yourself where
and when it took place and how it started. This way, your strengths and
weaknesses regarding the text will become evident. Even if you don’t get
all the answers right, the procedure7 of asking and answering will make
you less forgetful8 of your material.
There are other good approaches to retaining9 information. Drawing
pictures to represent information works especially well for the sciences.
For example, instead of reading over geography texts again, you can
illustrate10 the continents11 and label them. Creating images helps you
clarify12 how things are related. Flash cards are an active learning tool for
learning vocabulary words. When we’re using these, we should review
both what we’re not familiar with yet and what we already know. However,
cramming13 right before the deadline14 is not an adequate15 method.
This style of study is sure to leave you with shortages in your knowledge
foundation16. Instead, grant yourself enough time to have gaps17 between
study sessionsu.
Like any part of the body, the brain needs to be trained with
diligence18. Choose the right methods of exercise so you don’t waste time
and energy while studying.

q When does a student get most of the information from a text?

(A) On the first reading
(B) On the second or third reading
(C) While writing a summary
(D) While taking a test
w What is the recommended method for studying how human organs work?
(A) Ask yourself when human organs first developed and where they came from.
(B) Write down each organ’s name on a piece of paper with a definition on the back.
(C) Draw a picture of the entire human body with the organs shown and then name
them.
(D) Read your biology book as many times as possible on the night before the test.

Old Metals Become New Medals
Every two years, countries send out their best delegation1 of athletes2
to strive3 for thousands of gold, silver, and bronze4 medals in dozens of
categories5 at the Olympic Games. For the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, the
city’s Olympic organizing committee6 is using an unconventional7 source
to harvest8 the metal needed to make these medals: mobile phones9.
By the summer of 2020, Tokyo will need to manufacture 10 five
thousand medals for its Olympic and Paralympicu Games. To meet this
goal, Japan is encouraging its citizens to chip11 in by sacrificing12 their old
phones. Mobile phones have small amounts of valuable metals in them
which can be loosened13 through a chemical process. The committee says
it is a recipe14 for reaching 100 percent recycled15 content for the Games.
It predicts16 that in excess of eight tons of metal will be collected.
While this campaign will provide relief17 to the environment and
reduce the cost of financing18 the Games, these aren’t its only benefits.
Japan is showing that giving out a medal can be just as much a triumph19
as receiving one.
q What is Japan asking for from its citizens?

(A) Gold
(B) Medals
(C) Athletic training
(D) Mobile phones
w What will Japan’s campaign for the 2020 Olympics do?

(A) It will increase the cost of hosting.
(B) It will allow for every medal to be made from recycled material.
(C) It will guarantee that Japan wins some gold medals.
(D) It will attract fewer competitors to the Games.

Olympics Out of the Ordinary
Baseball was withdrawn 1 in 2012. Golf gained admission 2 in
2016. Historically 3, the Olympics have shown a willingness to make
adjustments4, which has allowed it to keep up with sports trends. The
Tokyo 2020 Olympics will see the inclusion of surfing and climbing.
Looking back, some events seem so outdated to us now that it’s hard to
believe they were ever included at all!
Take the 1900 Olympics in Paris for example. Besides “normal5”
sports such as athletics and swimming, hot-air ballooning, kite-flying,
and cannon6-shooting were also featured! That year also saw the first
appearance of tug-of-waru as an Olympic sport. While tug-of-war is
certainly a popular activity on school playgrounds, few now think of it
as an Olympic-worthy7 sport. It remained a hotly contested8 event at the
Olympics until 1920.
For a large part of the 20th century, the Olympics weren’t just about
sports. When revived9 in 1896, the goal was to capture the original spirit
of the ancient games. The ancient Olympics were also gathering places
for artists and scholars10, and consisted of both artistic11 and physical Unit
competitions. From 1912 to 1948, Olympians could earn distinctions12
30
for excellence13 as poets, sculptors14, or even architects! The reason these

events were eventually canceled was because the Olympics were supposed
to be a competition for amateurs. The sportsmen15 who competed16 held
downu other jobs between competitions, while many of the artists were
artists full-time.
We really shouldn’t laugh too loudly at these strange events of the
past. Who knows—in a hundred years’ time, when long-distance hover17
boarding around moon craters18 has been added to the Olympic program,
perhaps people will look back on established19 events like the 100-meter
sprint20 and roll their eyesu.

Working Out the Truth about Exercise Myths

In today’s health-conscious1 society, many people have resolved2
to exercise regularly. But be careful: there are many fundamental
misunderstandings about exercise that should be dismissed3.
First, forget “no pain, no gain.” Even a small amount of exercise is
good, and on the contrary4 it doesn’t need to hurt. Some muscle5 soreness6
is OK, but anything worse is an indication7 that you’ve overdone it. The
tiny tears in your muscles caused by normal exercise require rest to heal8
and strengthen. Therefore, rest is just as important as physical activity.
Exercise is about overall health, not just weight loss. So don’t jump
on the scale9 every time you go to the gym10! With exercise, you’ll become
more alert11 and you’ll reduce your risk for heart disease, diabetesu, and
cancer. Always warm up before you start, but don’t confuse12 stretching
with warming up. Stretching actually tightens13 the targeted muscles and
can hurt performance. Also, if you’re a woman, don’t worry about bulking
up 14. For the average woman, weight training develops muscle tone
instead of building mass.
Are you drinking protein shakes? Those are useful for advanced
bodybuilders, but otherwise15 they just serve as an extra meal. Just eat
naturally protein-rich food in your regular diet. But don’t reach for a
sports drink. Those contain a lot of sugar and add unnecessary calories16.
If you overeat, drink alcohol17 in excess, or regularly smoke cigarettes,
don’t think that exercise will prevent future misery. Exercising every day
won’t make up for bad lifestyle choices.
A healthier you doesn’t have to be a fantasy18; it can be your reality.
Don’t let false beliefs be obstacles19 to a good exercise routine, and you’ll
be on your way to lifelong20 strength and fitness.

q What should happen when you exercise regularly?

Chapter 7 Sports
Many climbers have a(n) q dream of climbing the world’s highest

famous stories of Everest disasters being published and made into movies. Climbers
are conscious of these disasters, but it doesn’t stop them. They dismiss these stories,
as they think adequate preparation will prevent such a tragedy from happening to
them. They e to climb the difficult mountain no matter what. To prepare
for the challenge, climbers spend months in the gym, as well as climbing smaller
peaks. They take in extra r in an attempt to bulk up. Often they avoid
alcohol before a climb. After spending some time at base camp, if weather
t are good, they will make an attempt to reach the top of Everest.
Unfortunately, even experienced climbers are often not prepared for the y
they face, including snow storms, lack of oxygen, and sickness caused by the high
altitude. Sometimes even when severe weather u have been issued, it has
not been enough to stop determined climbers, and many have died or been seriously
injured. As numerous Everest disasters have shown, reaching the top of the world
will remain an unattainable i for many.

Ingestible Origami Robot
Doctors frequently see cases of people accidentally swallowing
foreign objects. In the United States, button batteries1 alone are swallowed
by around 3,500 human beings every year. Though most small objects
pass through and exit2 the digestive system, objects like batteries can
cause permanent3 damage if left inside the stomach for too long.
Researchers from multiple universities have invented an ingestibleu
origamiu robot that can help. The robot consists of a small magnet 4
inserted5 into a sheet of dried pig intestinesu, which is folded like origami
to make the robot as small as possible. For easy swallowing, the robot is
put into an ice capsuleu. Once the capsule melts, the robot can receive
course guidance6 in the stomach via7 magnetic fields external8 to the
body.
Besides fetching9 foreign objects, the robot has prospects10 of being
an efficient 11 medicine-delivery 12 agent 13 inside a patient’s body or
mending14 internal15 wounds without surgery16. There are also plans to
add sensors17 to the robot so that it can control itself independently. With
such potential18, these ingestible robots might be tiny miracles19 in the
future of medicine.
q How do ingestible origami robots remove objects from a person’s stomach?

(A) By using magnets
(B) By folding around them
(C) By battery power
(D) By natural digestion
w What is mentioned as a way for ingestible robots to help people?

(A) They may repair our intestines.
(B) They may remove failing organs.
(C) They may detect a disease.
(D) They may avoid the need for surgery.

The New Buzz about Robot Bees
Bees are dying faster than ever, and that should worry everyone. Rates
of colony collapse1 have increased dramatically over the past decade.
The very existence2 of many bee species is at risk. Experts suggest global
warming upsetting the normal blossoming cycle3 of flowers, pesticideu
use, and bee habitatu loss are contributing to this negative phenomenon.
Many scientists are trying to find ways to protect bees, but others
have come up with an imaginative4 plan: mechanical5 bees. These bee-
like robots are equipped6 with a wrapping7 of horse hair and a specially
designed gel to pollinateu crops. This combination secures8 pollenuenough
to transport9 it from plant to plant, yet is loose10 enough for portions11
to spill12 onto new plants. These dependable13 pollen carriers14 could also
be used to apply pesticides to plants very accurately15. This would protect
bees by limiting their pesticide exposure.
Experts agree that rescuing16 bees from their flight toward extinction
should be the first priority. Even with artificial17 bee replacements18, the
loss of the real thing will certainly sting19.
q Which of the following is causing the bee population to fall?

(A) Flower species appearing where they didn’t exist before
(B) Farmers lacking resources that bees need to survive
(C) Territories where bees live becoming less suitable
(D) Bans against the use of pesticides
w What are robot bees able to do?

(A) Produce honey at a faster rate
(B) Encourage bees to reproduce
(C) Spread pollen among flower gardens
(D) Generate a specially designed gel

With the ability to fly through the air and take high quality images of the land,
drones are set to change the world. The average person may know that drones can
q packages, but people from many industries are excited to see how
drones can help them.
The changes drones are making have already begun. Zipline is a company
that uses drones to w medical supplies and deliver them to hard-to-
reach villages. The same could be done in disaster areas following hurricanes or
earthquakes. It has also become common to see drones e with cameras
shooting video for live television, real estate listings, and more. For photographers,
they are a(n) r for having to take shots from the sky in a helicopter.
Drones have proven they are t , and it’s believed they will continue
to be. Facebook, for one, has experimented with drones that can provide wireless
Internet access. Drones can also help police officers and firefighters in an emergency
by showing them y of a building they couldn’t otherwise see. Another
major application is using drones above our oceans. Oil companies may be the first
to take advantage of drones to assist in planning deep-water drilling operations.
They would also be critical in search-and-u missions.
From medicine i to artist’s tool to Internet provider to ocean
explorer, it’s clear that drones are going to have a big impact on how we see the
future.

Smartphone Snoopers
If someone wanted to spy1 on you 24-7 to learn everything about you,
where would they put the bugu? Your smartphone? Bingo! This scary2
idea might be more than just imagination.
A lot of people have had experiences that have made them cry foul3
on their smartphones. They tell someone they’re having tax problems;
before long their Facebook ads are mostly4 about tax advisors. They Unit

Smartphone Snoopers
Could there be any truth to these suspicions or are they merely9 a
form of digital age paranoiau? All an app10 needs is permission to use
your phone’s microphone11. Once the data is imported12, customized13 ads
can be sent to you. Cybersecurity14 experts have shown that a program
coded15 to do just that would not drain the phone’s battery or show
unusual amounts of data being used. You would have no idea that it was
even happening.
Companies like Google give assurances16 that they are intolerant17 of
this behavior and state clearly that any app that secretly collects data from
a user will be deleted18 from their app stores. Some researchers say that
these experiences may all boil down tou a psychological19 exaggeration20.
This theory essentially21 states that we notice things more when they’ve
recently entered our consciousness22. Perhaps those ads for tax advisors
were always there, but you didn’t notice them until you started thinking
about tax problems.
Despite this, we still have every right to be a little paranoid. When
using apps, don’t be indifferent23; take precautions24 and read the privacy 25
policies carefully to make sure that nobody is snoopingu on us.

q What is the main idea of paragraph two?

(A) Internet users are more than willing to give out advice, but not all of it is good

used to be.
(D) People talk with their friends about something, and the next day they see
marketing about it.
w What makes it difficult for people to know if their smartphone is spying on them?
(A) There would be little to no difference in their battery usage.
(B) Apps often don’t need to ask permission to use your microphone.
(C) There’s no way of telling which apps in Google’s store use this type of
technology.
(D) Privacy policies are updated so frequently that it’s difficult to keep up with them.

always be your friends who find out your information. The first thing you should be
aware of is your q settings for sharing information. You can
w your settings to share with everyone or only with small groups. It’s
better to only accept invitations from people you know in real life. If you’ve never
met somebody, then you don’t know if they are pretending to be somebody they’re
not or playing some other e game with you. You should also take
r when making any online announcement. New parents may think it’s a
good idea to post the name or birthday of their newborn baby, but that is valuable

Driverless Cars: Steering Us in a New Direction
The race to create driverless vehicles has shifted into high gearu.
Google has both modified1 existing car models to be self-driving and
designed its own prototype: a comfortable two-seater with no steering2
wheel or pedals—just a power button on the dash3. Google’s prototype
employs what is basically a computer designed for driving which uses
lasers4, radar, and cameras to navigate5 its surroundings6. The company’s
tests have all had a human operator7 in the car in case of emergencies8,
but they’ve achieved an exceptional9 safety record.
To be sure, self-driving cars have had critics voice objections10 and
reservations, and there are big challenges to overcome. First off, these
cars are controlled by computers, so computer crashes11 would mean car
crashes. Cyberterrorists could interfere12 with onboard computers, which
creates a whole new set of worries. New federal13 regulations relating to
safety standards, legal responsibility, and operating credentialsu will also
need to be approved14 for driverless cars. These issues need to be dealt
with before people can confidently use self-driving cars.
Still, the potential benefits are overwhelming 15. We may see the
prevention16 of human errors caused by drowsiness17, reckless18 driving,
distractedu driving, and drunk driving. Aside from19 that, people walking
and biking wouldn’t have to anxiously20 cross streets, and people too
young or too old to drive would be more mobile21. What’s more, self-
driving cars will be able to communicate with other cars and drive
smarter to increase efficiency, helping people get to places faster and
reducing pollution caused by cars idling22 in traffic.
Cars that aren’t self-driving are soon to be considered primitive23
technology. Though there are significant challenges on the horizon24, this
ambitious25 enterprise shows no signs of slowing down.
246
q Why does Google test their driverless cars with a human inside?
(A) To keep a record of the data
(B) To operate the onboard camera
(C) To take action if something goes wrong
(D) To answer questions any people have about the car
w What will be a benefit of having driverless cars?

(A) There will be more space inside the cars.
(B) There will be no need to ride bikes or walk anywhere.
(C) Operators can go as fast as they like.
(D) Operators won’t have to pay attention to their surroundings.

Car drivers, get ready for a shock. A new wearable called Steer is here, and it
may be just as important as your seat belt. As we all know, seat belts save the lives
of people who get into a car q . What makes Steer w is that it
stops the driver from making a mistake. You won’t run into a(n) e at all.
Steer deals with a common problem for car r : getting sleepy behind
the wheel. Driving while t leads to car accidents—some say it’s just as
bad as drunk driving. Tired driving happens without us realizing it. One moment
we’re y the road safely, and the next we’re holding the wheel with our eyes
closed for a few seconds too long. This is where Steer comes in. Steer wraps around
your arm like a bracelet. It measures heart rate and sweat production on your skin.
When it senses that you are losing some focus on the road, Steer sends a vibration.
If it senses that you are losing a lot of focus, it sends an electrical shock. It’s there to
protect you before anything can go wrong.
Steer is an amazing invention that will assist in the u of many
accidents. The only thing Steer can’t do is save you from other i drivers.
(A) crash (B) operators (C) exceptional (D) reckless

My day begins something like this: my alarm goes off, I jump in the shower, I eat
breakfast, gather my books, and begin my classes. It is much like a typical morning for an
average high school teenager. What might not be so typical, however, is that I frequently get
to sleep in longer than most of my peers because I do not have a strict start to my school
day. It is also not unusual for me to be in my pajamas during class. On the flip side, I never
get snow days. My desk is in my living room, my classmates are my siblings, and my teacher
is often instructing from the TV screen.
I am a homeschooler.
My entire elementary and secondary school years have been spent at home. Most of
my high school classes have been on DVD, and my principal, who has no special training or
teaching qualifications, is my mother—always available for one-on-one interaction if I have
questions or concerns. Homeschoolers are often said to be lazy, lucky, or just plain weird.
In just the last decade or so, the view of homeschooling began to change. It is not such a
unique way to be educated after all.
Homeschoolers are not rare. They are not undereducated or socially awkward. More and
more people are seeing this as a normal and perfectly acceptable alternative to public school.
There are around 80,000 homeschoolers across Canada this year. Around 20,000 to 30,000
of those are in Ontario, and the number is growing each year.
For years, homeschooling was a movement largely unaccepted and unrecognized by
the majority of society, especially most post-secondary institutions. Because they lacked
a recognized diploma, homeschoolers found it difficult to continue their education after
completing high-school courses. Today, though, this is finally changing.
45. According to the passage, how is the writer different from other kids of the same age?
(A) The writer wears pajamas to school every day.
(B) The writer received an education at home.
(C) The writer is socially awkward.
(D) The writer watches television all day long.
46. Why might homeschoolers have difficulty being accepted to university?
(A) They do not have a high school diploma.
(B) They are undereducated.
(C) They are lazy.
(D) They have illegal diplomas.
47. In the passage, which word means “equals”?
(A) Siblings
(B) Classmates
(C) Peers
(D) Homeschoolers
258
48. What message is being inferred by the passage?
(A) Homeschoolers are very rare in Canada.
學
(B) Homeschooling is rare but growing in popularity.
測
(C) Universities in Canada do not accept homeschoolers.
模
(D) Homeschooling diplomas are not valid. 擬
第 49-52 題為題組試
題
You may have heard the saying “if you cannot take the heat, get out of the kitchen.” But
what if the kitchen is your classroom and basically your second home? That would make it Le
Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts Institute, the secret Ottawa hideout of good-food lovers, known as
foodies. The school, which is blocks away from several fast-food outlets, passes on techniques
for respecting food and the craft of food preparation. Ryan Clark is one of its devotees.
Clark, who was born in the Yukon but raised in British Columbia, says cooking is just
something he grew up with and he could not see himself doing anything else.
On a typical day in class, students like Clark will be given the ingredient lists for about
three recipes and watch as the chefs demonstrate how to prepare each one. These seminars
are the only opportunity for scribbling notes because the practical part starts as soon as the
instructors are finished. The students then proceed to the practical kitchens, where they
recreate the recipes for the chefs to taste, test, and mark. “They pretty much throw you in
the kitchen,” says former student Mike Syring. “It’s very hands-on.”
49. What is a “foodie,” according to the article?

(A) A foodie is a cooking instructor.
(B) A foodie is someone who appreciates good food.
(C) A foodie is a cooking student.
(D) A foodie is a restaurant owner.
50. Where is the school in the passage located?
(A) In London, England (B) In the Yukon
(C) In Ottawa (D) In British Columbia
51. What are Le Cordon Bleu students given in order to complete their tasks?
(A) They are given complete instructions.
(B) They are given the chance to taste.
(C) They are given the chance to watch the food being prepared.
(D) They are given the opportunity to test the chefs.
52. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
(A) The Star Students of Le Cordon Bleu
(B) The Gourmet Capital of Canada
(C) The Master Chefs of Le Cordon Bleu
(D) The Practical Approach of Le Cordon Bleu

Hepatitis C is an infectious virus that attacks the liver. It is carried in the infected person’s
blood. More than five million Americans carry the virus, but only one third are aware that
they have it.
The Hep C sufferer does not normally show any symptoms of illness until advanced liver
damage occurs. Currently there is no vaccine to prevent against the infection of Hep C, but
there are treatments available. The key is getting early diagnosis and care before serious liver
complications develop.
The most common methods of Hep C infection are the following: the sharing of
needles; blood transfusion or organ donation before testing began in 1992; exposure to
infected blood through sports; the sharing of personal care equipment, such as razors or
toothbrushes; and unprotected sex.
Hep C has also been contracted through inadequately sterilized injections and medical
equipment, tattoos or piercings with used needles, or manicures and pedicures with
equipment that has been (unknowingly) used on a carrier.
The only way to protect yourself from contracting Hep C is to avoid exposure to the
blood of other people who may be carrying the disease. As mentioned above, this includes
the equipment that might have come in contact with Hep C-infected blood.
If you are diagnosed with Hepatitis C, it is important to build up your body’s strength
and resistance naturally, in addition to the treatment that will be provided by your doctor.
Avoid alcohol or recreational drug use, eat well, exercise regularly, and get plenty of rest.
53. Which of the following people might risk becoming infected with Hepatitis C?
(A) Someone who had a blood transfusion in 1998
(B) Someone who donated blood
(C) Someone who used the same toothbrush for over six months
(D) Someone who shared a needle with another drug user
54. How can you protect yourself against getting Hepatitis C?
(A) Get yourself vaccinated against the disease.
(B) Never agree to a blood transfusion or an organ transplant.
(C) Avoid exposure to the blood of other people.
(D) Get regular manicures and pedicures.
260
55. What measures were taken against the spread of Hep C in the early ’90s? 學
(A) An extensive immunization program began. 測
(B) Extensive testing began on blood used in medical procedures. 模
(C) Doctors began treating people for the disease. 擬
(D) Doctors began sterilizing needles and medical equipment. 試
56. According to the passage, which of the following is true? 題
(A) It is possible to contract Hepatitis C through kissing.
(B) You can cure yourself of Hepatitis C simply by getting plenty of rest.
(C) There is no preventative vaccination for Hepatitis C.
(D) Hepatitis C is a disease that attacks all of the internal organs.
