There is still a large portion of the world’s oceans that we haven’t yet studied, and scientists are making
new discoveries all the time. One recent surprise came in the form of a squid that can fly. The scientists in
Japan that discovered the flying squid believe that its flight involves four stages of movement. First, while
it’s swimming, the squid opens up the main part of its body to draw in water. Second, it launches itself into
the air with a strong release of the water from its body. Third, once it’s in the air, the squid spreads out its fins
and limbs to form wings. Finally, those wings allow flying squid to glide in the air like a paper airplane.
Flying squid can stay in the air for about three seconds and cover around 30 meters per flight. While in
the air, the flying squid doesn’t just relax and go with the flow. Instead, it continuously changes its body
position based on its distance from the surface of the water. Just before diving back into the ocean, the squid
folds its fins and limbs to reduce the impact of its re-entry into the water. People have spotted groups of 20 or
so squid flying together, and it is believed that—like flying fish—their flight is a way to escape danger in the
water.
（ ）(1) What is the main purpose of the passage? (A) To analyze why groups of squid fly together.
(B) To appreciate Japanese scientists’ efforts in making this amazing discovery. (C) To explain how flying
squid make use of airflow. (D) To explain how and why flying squid move in the air.
（ ）(2) For what reason does this squid fly? (A) To breathe in fresh air to survive. (B) To train its
fins. (C) To avoid dangers underwater. (D) To demonstrate its superb flying skills.
（ ）(3) What can be inferred from the passage? (A) The flying squid is a flying master when it
comes to speed. (B) The flying squid is the only marine creature that can fly. (C) The flying squid
constantly adjusts its position while in the air. (D) The flying squid can maintain a laid-back posture when
in the air.

Bedouins are a historically nomadic* Arab group with a rich history that spans centuries. Their origins
can be traced back to the Arabian Peninsula*, and they have played a significant role in shaping the region’s
culture, economy, and politics. The word “Bedouin” translates to “desert dweller*,” and their frequent
movement is deeply connected to the harsh, isolating desert environment. Historically, they were skilled at
travelling across vast stretches of dry land, moving from one oasis* to another in search of water and grass
for their livestock, which were mainly camels, sheep, and goats.
The Bedouins were expert traders and promoted the exchange of goods, ideas, and cultures across the
Arabian Peninsula and beyond. Their movement in large numbers was vital to the trade routes that connected
the Middle East with Africa, Asia, and Europe. Trade brought wealth and cultural exchange, contributing to
the rise of cities like Mecca and Medina. Bedouin society was organized into tribes, with each tribe being led
by a sheikh, a respected elder chosen for his wisdom and leadership skills. Honor, hospitality, and loyalty
were essential values in their tightly knit communities.
Islam*, which emerged in the seventh century, had a major impact on the Bedouin way of life. Many
Bedouins embraced the new faith and became instrumental* in the spread of Islam throughout the Arabian
Peninsula and beyond. In addition, Islam played a role in organizing certain aspects of Bedouin politics and
social structure. Over time, some Bedouin groups adopted a more settled or semi-settled way of life. This
shift was influenced by various factors, including the rise of cities, changing political landscapes, and
modernization in the twentieth century.
However, despite the challenges posed by modernity, Bedouin culture and traditions have endured, and
many Bedouins continue to embrace their heritage while adapting to modern circumstances. To sum up, the
history of the Bedouins is a tale of cultural richness and learning how to adapt. Their nomadic roots, their
vital role in trade and the spread of Islam, and their unique social organization make them a fascinating part
of Middle Eastern history and culture.

According to some, the village takes its name from an ancestor* called Mangus, who led a tribe to this
place and settled here a long time ago. Others claim that the name was taken from a species of oak tree that
grows in the region. Regardless of the origin of its name, the village of Smangus* remains one of the most
fascinating and isolated locations in all of Taiwan.
Situated in the heavily forested mountains of Hsinchu County, Smangus is home to about twenty
families of the Atayal* tribe who live in traditional homes made of wood or bamboo. Electrical power only
reached the village in 1979, and until 1995, there was no paved road connecting the village with the outside
world. Getting to Smangus from the nearest densely populated town involved a three-hour drive. Even with
modern conveniences like electricity and modern roads, Smangus retains an authentic sense of remoteness.
Once a road link was established, however, tourists slowly began to discover the village. Now, they come to
hike in the cool mountain climate and observe the giant cypress trees—some more than 2,500 years old—that
the region is famous for. A small number of inns have been established in the village to accommodate visitors
who wish to stay overnight.
However, what truly makes Smangus unique is that the village is run as a cooperative*. Residents are
assigned jobs and duties to perform. They work together to farm the fields, and income is distributed equally.
Also, the villagers receive money to cover their medical and educational costs. Everyone works together for
the common good in this system, which is designed to eliminate distrust and competition. According to proud
local residents, young people who leave Smangus for big city life eventually return to the peaceful isolation
of village life to raise their families. They discover that the grass is not always greener on the other side.

➊ The Galapagos Islands are situated in the Pacific Ocean about a thousand kilometers west of Ecuador. The
area consists of an archipelago* of thirteen major islands and more than a hundred other small islands. ➋ In
Spanish, Galapago is an old word meaning “tortoise,” but the islands and their surrounding waters have
much more to offer. ➌ In addition to giant tortoises, they are also home to iguanas, sea lions, and sharks. ➍
The landscape offers just as much variety with everything from high volcanic mountains and craters* covered
with cacti* to lush* forests and grasslands on display to delight the senses. ➎ As a result, the Galapagos
Islands are often referred to as a unique living museum and showcase of evolution.
On his travels to the islands, Charles Darwin found that different Galapagos finches had different beaks,
which are the hard and pointed part of a bird’s mouth. There were, for instance, finches with huge beaks good
for cracking open nuts, and finches with long beaks good for catching insects. He also noticed that they were
similar to one species he had previously discovered in South America. As Darwin concluded in his On the
Origin of Species, one type of finch from South America must have flown to one of the islands and then
slowly adapted to the various environments there. In time, a diverse set of similar but different finches
appeared, all 14 of which form a group known as Darwin’s finches.

Taiwan consists of sixteen officially recognized indigenous tribes. The Amis tribe is the biggest of all of
them. __①__
During an important event known as the Harvest Festival, these proud people come together to celebrate
their special traditions. This is a time for showing appreciation to the tribal ancestors for protection and good
luck. It typically lasts three to seven days. On the first day, the tribe prepares for the celebrations by catching
fish and slaughtering* pigs. At night, only the men participate in a welcoming ceremony for their ancestors.
__②__ The next three days feature dancing and singing to entertain these special visitors. At the same time, a
big feast is offered to the elders of the tribe. By the fifth day, it is the turn of other special guests to be offered
food and drink. They also get to participate in the dancing. Finally, the last day marks the big send-off for the
spirits, and women wrap up the event with more dancing.
To show one’s respect for all these important cultural customs, there are some rules that should be
followed. __③__ The tribe believes it has the power to chase away evil spirits. Additionally, people only sing
the Harvest Festival songs during the festival itself. __④__
The celebration of the Harvest Festival marks the start of a new year for the Amis tribe. Although it has
undergone quite a change in modern days, its core themes of respect and teamwork have stood the test of
time.

The southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu is on many travelers’ bucket lists. There are many festivals held
in its local towns, the most famous of which is a harvest festival. Pongal, as it is called, is a four-day festival
celebrated around mid-January every year that includes many special traditions and customs.
Locals usually dedicate the first day’s celebrations to the Sun God in order to show their gratitude for a
good harvest. Homes are thoroughly cleaned to get rid of any bad energy, and families burn old items that are
no longer needed. For good luck, the entrances of the houses are also painted and decorated with a mixture of
colored rice, sand, and flower petals. The second day marks the main festival day. Family and friends unite in
the morning, and women boil a pot of milk with freshly harvested rice grain and cane sugar. __①__ This
tradition signifies their wish for good things to happen in the year. Day 3 focuses on honoring farm animals,
such as cows and bulls, for helping out in the fields. __②__ Finally, for the last day of Pongal, the focus
shifts to reunions and prayers for family members’ well-being. Locals therefore often make trips to visit their
loved ones or faraway acquaintances.
For foreigners who would like to join in on all the Harvest Festival fun, there are some simple rules to
follow. First, avoid bringing cookies and cakes when visiting someone’s house. These treats normally contain
egg, and some people may not want to eat them. __③__ Additionally, do not burn rubber when throwing out
old household goods. __④__ Most importantly, arrive with a big smile and a heart full of thanks. This is by
far the best way to wrap up the past year and welcome in the new!

(C) In fact, they like to come face-to-face with it through a festival known as the Day of the Dead.
(D) However, this time is mainly devoted to the adults who have passed away.
Death is often a sad and heavy topic which many people do their best to avoid. Mexicans, however, treat
it quite differently. __①__
The Day of the Dead is a time for the living and the dead to reunite. It is meant to be a joyous occasion
to revisit memories of those who are no longer present. The holiday usually spans a period of two days,
during which locals welcome the spirits of the departed back to Earth. On the first day, November 1, the
spirits of children who have passed away are believed to return for 24 hours. Families set up altars to
welcome them back and to express their undying love. The child’s favorite items and food are placed on top.
__②__ This is a way of honoring the dead and saving them a spot in the next life. Later on, the families
make their way to the graveyard. Huge feasts are brought along to be eaten as people clean tombstones, sing,
and “talk” to the spirits.
On the second day, similar festivities continue. __③__ The altars take on a more mature theme with
alcohol and traditional bread. By noon, public celebrations start in the streets. People parade through the
cities with elaborate costumes and skeleton face paint. Finally, after the dead have returned to their graves at
night, families and friends wrap up the event by putting away the altars and decorations.
While the holiday is one big party for both locals and visitors alike, there are still some culturally
sensitive guidelines that should be followed. First, do not confuse this festival with Halloween or Cinco de
Mayo. The tone and symbolic meanings of the event are very different. Second, do not touch the private
altars and the items on them unless you are given permission. A similar rule applies to taking pictures of these
objects, so always be sure to ask first. __④__ As long as participants follow these rules, they can eat, drink,
and be merry to their hearts’ content.
The Day of the Dead is a holiday quite unlike any other. It celebrates both death and life at the same
time. Most importantly, it reminds everyone that death is a natural part of life.

解答 ①C ②A ③D ④B
解析 ①前一句提到「許多人迴避死亡的話題」，然而事實上墨西哥人選擇以節慶的方式面對死亡。
中間用 “however” 銜接表示語意相反。 ②前一句提到紀念過世孩童的方式，這一句繼續延伸同樣
的主題，因此用 “moreover” 來銜接語句。 ③前一句提到「在第二天，類似的慶祝活動持續」。
相較於第一天為紀念逝去的孩童，第二天的對象是成人，因此用 “However” 來銜接。 ④前一句提
到「私人祭壇不許拍攝」，下一句以「公共祭壇」作為對照，只要心存尊敬，是可以拍攝的。
