第26至30題為題組
International trade is the exchange of goods and services between countries. Trade is driven by different production costs in different countries, making 26 cheaper for some countries to import goods rather than make them. A country is said to have a comparative advantage over another when it can produce a commodity more cheaply. This comparative advantage is 27 by key factors of production such as land, capital, and labor.
While international trade has long been conducted in history, its economic, social, and political importance has been 28 in recent centuries. During the 1990s, international trade grew by nearly 8.6% each year. In the year 1990 alone, the growth in trade in services was as high as 19%.
Today, all countries are involved in, and to varying degrees dependent on, trade with other countries. 29 international trade, nations would be limited to the goods and services produced within their own borders. Trade is certainly a main 30 force for globalization. It is also the subject of many international agreements that aim to govern and facilitate international trade, such as those negotiated through the World Trade Organization (WTO).
國際貿易是各國間商品和勞務的交流。貿易由在不同國家互異的生產成本所驅動，26.貿易讓某些國家進口貨物較自產更便宜。據說，當一個國家可以低廉地生產某商品時，該國就相對比別的國家有優勢。這項相對優勢視生產過程中的重要因素而27.決定，如土地、資金與勞力。
國際貿易在歷史上行之有年。它在經濟、社會以及政治上的重要性近幾個世紀來日益28.增長。在1990年代，國際貿易每年成長近8.6%。光是1990年這一年，勞務貿易的成長就足足有19%之多。
如今，所有國家都加入與他國貿易的行列之中，其依賴程度各有所異。若29.沒有國際貿易，各國生產的商品和勞務將受到疆界的侷限。貿易無疑是全球化的主要30.驅動力。這也是許多國際協議的主題，例如那些透過世界貿易組織(WTO)所協議的，旨在控制並促進國際貿易。

27. (A) installed (B) reserved (C) opposed (D) determined
(A)安裝 (B)保存 (C)反對 (D)決定
【解析】本題測驗字義與文意理解。前句表示，當一個國家可生產較便宜的貨物時即有比較優勢，本句接續文意，指出這種比較優勢是由土地、資金與勞力等關鍵因素決定，故選(D) determined。
|
28. (A) to the point (B) on the rise (C) off the hook (D) for the record
(A)中肯 (B)在增長 (C)擺脫危境 (D)記錄在案

|
29. (A) Despite (B) Between (C) Without (D) Under
(A)儘管 (B)在…間 (C)沒有 (D)在…下
【解析】本題測驗假設語氣的用法。前一句指出現今所有的國家都依賴與他國的貿易，本句卻接著說國家會受限於自身生產的貨物與勞務，推知應是指沒有國際貿易的情形，與現在事實相反，由本句動詞would be確定是假設語氣，故選(C) Without。
|
30. (A) driving (B) pulling (C) riding (D) bringing
(A)驅動 (B)拉 (C)騎 (D)帶來
【解析】由整篇文意，國際貿易讓國與國之間更多依賴與互動可知它促進全球化，並且由搭配詞driving force (驅動力)可知答案為(A) driving。

After years of hard work, Kareem has not only realized his dream but also transformed a piece of 39 property into a beautiful forest. Today, his forest is home to 1,500 medicinal plants, 2,000 varieties of trees, rare birds, animals, and insects. Now, scientists from all over the world come to visit his 40 .

森林都是由大自然所形成的嗎？一名來自印度鄉村的男子證實這不盡然是31.真的。Abdul Kareem曾任機票銷售員，他對森林懷有狂熱。雖然他沒上過大學，他卻可以像是一位專家，針對植物和樹木侃侃而談。1977年，他買下一塊多石的廢地，32.想像在該地種植樹木。起初，人們認為他一定是33.瘋了，才會浪費時間和金錢在這塊土地上。但他34.不理會他們，繼續整土和種植樹木。這裡土質極35.乾，一天要澆好幾次水。Kareem必須遠從一公里外的水源處取水。頭兩年，他種的樹沒有一棵36.存活。不過，到了第三年，有幾棵樹苗開始生長。受到這項結果大為37.鼓舞，Kareem種植更多的樹，而他的人造森林開始成形。
Kareem讓他的森林自然成長，不使用肥料和殺蟲劑。他深信在不受人為38.干擾下，大自然擁有自我重新開始的能力。因此，他不清理落葉或落枝。
經過多年的努力，Kareem不僅實現了他的夢想，也將一塊39.廢地改造成一片美麗的森林。如今，他的森林有一千五百株藥用植物、兩千種不同的樹以及稀有鳥類、動物和昆蟲等。現在，全球各地的科學家前往參觀他的40.創作，他們希望能找到他成功的秘訣。

【解析】
31. ...this is not necessarily _____，空格位於be動詞後，可知應為形容詞，選項有crazy、dry或true。本篇談論人造森林，依文意可知，本句應指所有的森林都是天然的說法並非完全正確，答案為(J) true。

第41至44題為題組
In Japan, a person’s blood type is popularly believed to decide his/her temperament and personality. Type-A people are generally considered sensitive perfectionists and good team players, but over-anxious. Type Os are curious and generous but stubborn. Type ABs are artistic but mysterious and unpredictable, and type Bs are cheerful but eccentric, individualistic, and selfish. Though lacking scientific evidence, this belief is widely seen in books, magazines, and television shows.
The blood-type belief has been used in unusual ways. The women’s softball team that won gold for Japan
The belief even affects politics. One former prime minister considered it important enough to reveal in his official profile that he was a type A, while his opposition rival was type B. In 2011, a minister, Ryu Matsumoto, was forced to resign after only a week in office, when a bad-tempered encounter with local officials was televised. In his resignation speech, he blamed his failings on the fact that he was blood type B.
The blood-type craze, considered simply harmless fun by some Japanese, may manifest itself as prejudice and discrimination. In fact, this seems so common that the Japanese now have a term for it: bura-hara, meaning blood-type harassment. There are reports of discrimination leading to children being bullied, ending of happy relationships, and loss of job opportunities due to blood type.
在日本，普遍認為人的血型會決定他/她的脾氣與性格。A型人大致上被認為是感性的完美主義者及優秀團隊工作者，但會杞人憂天。O型人則有好奇心、性格大方，但固執。AB型人則有藝術氣息，但很神秘且深不可測；B型人則是開朗，但古怪、有個性且自私。儘管缺乏科學根據，這些看法廣泛地出現在書籍、雜誌與電視節目裡。
血型信仰已運用在意想不到的地方。據說為日本在北京奧運贏得金牌的女子壘球隊利用血型理論來幫球員量身打造訓練方式。有些幼稚園會依血型的分別採取不同的教學方法，甚至大型企業據說會依員工的血型來分派工作。在1990年，三菱電機據傳組了血型全是AB型的團隊，因為「他們善於計畫」。
這信仰甚至影響到政治。日本前首相之ㄧ曾認為在自己官方資料中公佈自己是A型有相當的重要性，當時他的競選對手是B型。在2011年，大臣松本龍因與地方官員的火爆衝突被報導出來，他僅就職一週就被迫辭職。在辭職演說中，他將敗因歸咎於自己是B型的。
ㄧ些日本人覺得血型熱潮無傷大雅，但它會在偏見與歧視行為中顯現。事實上，這現象已常見到讓日本人稱它為「血型騷擾」，意思是關於血型的騷擾行為。已有因血型引起歧視導致兒童被霸凌、分手甚至失去工作機會的相關報導。
|
41. What is the speaker’s attitude toward the blood-type belief in Japan?
(A) Negative. (B) Defensive. (C) Objective. (D) Encouraging.
說話者對於日本的血型信仰態度為何？
(A)否定的。 (B)防禦的。 (C)主觀的。 (D)鼓勵的。
【說明】第二段首句以unusual ways來形容血型在日本的應用實例，末段認為血型狂熱被視為偏見與歧視，但並未提出佐證或其他人的看法，可知是說話者個人的態度，故答案應為(C)。
|
42. According to the examples mentioned in the passage, which blood type can we infer is the LEAST favored in Japan?
(A) Type A. (B) Type B. (C) Type O. (D) Type AB.
根據文中提及的例子，我們可推論出何種血型在日本最不受歡迎？
(A) A型。 (B) B型。 (C) O型。 (D) AB型。

第45至48題為題組
Like many other five-year-olds, Jeanie Low of Houston, Texas, would use a stool to help her reach the bathroom sink. However, the plastic step-stool she had at home was unstable and cluttered up the small bathroom shared by her whole family. After learning of an invention contest held by her school that year, Jeanie resolved to enter the contest by creating a stool that would be a permanent fixture in the bathroom, and yet could be kept out of the way when not in use.
Jeanie decided to make a stool attached to the bathroom cabinet door under the sink. She cut a plank of wood into two pieces, each about two feet wide and one foot long. Using metal hinges, Jeanie attached one piece of the wood to the front of the cabinet door, and the second piece to the first. The first piece was set just high enough so that when it swung out horizontally from the cabinet door, the second piece would swing down from the first, just touching the ground, and so serving as a support for the first piece of the wood. This created a convenient, sturdy platform for any person too short to reach the sink. When not in use, the hinges allowed the two pieces of wood to fold back up tightly against the cabinet, where they were held in place by magnets. Jeanie called her invention the “Kiddie Stool.”
Jeanie’s Kiddie Stool won first place in her school’s contest. Two years later, it was awarded first prize again at Houston’s first annual Invention Fair. As a result, Jeanie was invited to make a number of public appearances with her Kiddie Stool, and was featured on local TV as well as in newspapers. Many people found the story of the Kiddie Stool inspiring because it showed that with imagination, anyone can be an inventor.
就像許多其他五歲的小孩一樣，德州休士頓的Jeanie Low會用一張小凳子來幫她搆到浴室的水槽。然而，她家裡的那張塑膠階梯凳子不穩固，而且亂堆放在全家人共用的狹小浴室裡。在得知學校當年有舉辦一場發明比賽後，Jeanie決定要創造一張既可以成為浴室固定設施，也可以在不使用的時候折疊起來的板凳來參加比賽。
Jeanie決定做一張板凳固定在水槽下面的浴室儲藏櫃門旁。她將一塊木板切成兩半，各是兩腳的寬度和一腳的長度。Jeanie用金屬鉸鏈將一片木板固定在櫥櫃門前方，然後第二片固定在第一片上。第一片木板因為做得夠高，所以當它從櫥櫃門垂直拉出來時，第二片就會從第一片上落下，然後碰到地板，成為第一片木板的支撐點。這創造了一個方便、堅固的平台給任何身高太矮而碰不到水槽的人。當不使用的時候，鉸鏈可以讓兩塊木板緊緊地收回櫥櫃旁邊，靠磁鐵固定著。Jeanie將她的發明命名為「童椅凳」。
Jeanie的童椅凳在校內比賽獲得冠軍，兩年後，在休士頓首屆年度發明展中又再次獲得冠軍。因此，Jeanie獲邀帶著她的童椅凳在許多公眾場合亮相，而且也在地方電視和報紙中出現。許多人覺得這個童椅凳的故事激勵人心，因為它證明了只要有想像力，任何人都可成為發明家。

第49至52題為題組
Ongoing conflicts across the Middle East have prevented more than 13 million children from attending school, according to a report published by UNICEF, the United Nations Children’s Fund.
The report states that 40% of all children across the region are currently not receiving an education, which is a result of two consequences of violence: structural damage to schools and the displacement of populations, also called “forced migration.” Both issues result from the tide of violence that has crossed the region in recent years. The report examines nine countries where a state of war has become the norm. Across these countries, violence has made 8,500 schools unusable. In certain cases, communities have relied on school buildings to function as shelters for the displaced, with up to nine families living in a single classroom in former schools across Iraq.
The report pays particularly close attention to Syria, where a bloody civil war has displaced at least nine million people since the war began in 2011. With the crisis now in its fifth year, basic public services, including education, inside Syria have been stretched to breaking point. Within the country, the quality and availability of education depends on whether a particular region is suffering violence.
The report concludes with an earnest request to international policymakers to distribute financial and other resources to ease the regional crisis. With more than 13 million children already driven from classrooms by conflict, it is no exaggeration to say that the educational prospects of a generation of children are in the balance. The forces that are crushing individual lives and futures are also destroying the prospects for an entire region.
根據聯合國兒童基金會所發表的一份報導，持續在中東發生的武裝衝突已經使超過一千三百萬位孩童無法上學。
這份報導指出，在這個區域裡有百分之四十的孩童處於無法接受教育的窘境，而這個結果來自於兩項暴力衝突的結果：包含了對學校結構的破壞以及又稱為「強制移民」的人口遷徙。近年來，這兩項由不斷的暴力狂潮導致的問題，已持續在這個區域到處肆虐。這份報導探訪了九個國家，在那裡戰爭已成為一種常態。在這些國家中，暴力衝突已經讓八千五百間學校變得無法使用。在一些特例中，社區居民必須靠著學校的建築物來當成被迫遷徙的暫居處；在伊拉克，學校的一間教室最多有九個家庭擠在一起居住。
而這份報導特別近距離關注敘利亞，這個從2011年起就已因血腥的內戰導致至少九百萬人被迫遷徙的地方。隨著戰事邁入第五年，在敘利亞境內包括教育的基礎公共設施，都已經達到了瀕臨崩潰的臨界點。在這個國家中，教育品質以及可接觸教育的管道得依該地區是否處於暴力衝突的狀況而定。
最後這份報導以要求世界各地的政策制定者們分配包含了財務及各項資源來幫助舒緩區域危機來做為結論。因為有超過一千三百萬的孩童已經因武力衝突而被隔絕於教室外，要說整個世代的小孩們的教育處境處於茫然的未知狀態是一點也不誇張的。奪走個人生命及未來的武力，同時也摧毀了整個區域的未來願景。

第53至56題為題組
Many marine animals, including penguins and marine iguanas, have evolved ways to get rid of excess salt by using special salt-expelling glands around their tongue. However, the sea snake’s salt glands cannot handle the massive amounts of salt that would enter their bodies if they actually drank seawater. This poses a serious problem when it comes to getting enough water to drink. If seawater is not an option, how does this animal survive in the ocean?
An international team of researchers focused on a population of yellow-bellied sea snakes living near Costa Rica, where rain often does not fall for up to seven months out of the year. Because yellow-bellied sea snakes usually spend all of their time far from land, rain is the animals’ only source of fresh water. When it rains, a thin layer of fresh water forms on top of the ocean, providing the snakes with a fleeting opportunity to lap up that precious resource. But during the dry season when there is no rain, snakes presumably have nothing to drink. Thus, the team became interested in testing whether sea snakes became dehydrated at sea.
The researchers collected more than 500 yellow-bellied sea snakes and weighed them. They found that during the dry season about half of the snakes accepted fresh water offered to them, while nearly none did during the wet season. A snake’s likelihood to drink also correlated with its body condition, with more withered snakes being more likely to drink, and to drink more. Finally, as predicted, snakes captured during the dry season contained significantly less body water than those scooped up in the rainy season. Thus, it seems the snake is able to endure certain degrees of dehydration in between rains. Scientists believe that dehydration at sea may explain the declining populations of sea snakes in some parts of the world.
許多海洋動物，包括企鵝與海鬣蜥，已演化用舌周圍的特殊除鹽腺體來排除過多的鹽分。然而若海蛇實際飲用海水，牠的除鹽腺體無法應付進入身體內大量的鹽分。當提到獲取足夠的水飲用時，這會導致一個嚴重的問題。如果海水不是一個選項，這種生物如何在海中生存？
一組跨國研究團隊專注研究棲息於一整年長達七個月不下雨的哥斯大黎加附近黃腹海蛇的數量。因為黃腹海蛇大部分生活在遠離陸地的海中，雨水是這種動物唯一的淡水資源。下雨時，一層薄薄的淡水在海表面上形成，提供黃腹海蛇一個稍縱即逝的機會享用這珍貴的水資源。但當沒下雨的旱季時，黃腹海蛇想必毫無東西能飲用。因此，該團隊對測試海蛇在海中是否會脫水感興趣。
研究人員收集超過五百隻黃腹海蛇並逐一將牠們秤重。他們發現旱季時，約一半的海蛇接受供給給牠們的淡水，然而在雨季時，幾乎沒有一隻接受。一隻海蛇飲用的可能性也與其身體狀況相關：衰老的海蛇更可能飲用，且飲用更多。最後，如同所預測的，旱季捕捉的海蛇較雨季捕捉到的海蛇身體明顯儲存更少的水。因此，黃腹海蛇似乎能在雨季間承受一定程度的脫水。科學家相信，在海中脫水能說明世界一些部份地區海蛇族群減少的原因。

第一段
|
From my point of view, maintaining a clean home is undoubtedly the responsibility of every member in a family, as only when everyone makes contributions and takes on responsibilities can a family function well. To divide household chores fairly and effectively, it is preferable that parents, together with their children, create a list, listing out what is needed to be done lest any task be missed. By doing so, all members are involved, which can make themselves feel more committed and more responsible. Next, it is advisable that duties be divvied and such consensus as frequency and standards be reached in advance so that friction can be prevented. Parents can assign tasks to children according to their ages and abilities or allow them to choose the chores they prefer. Some tactics like flipping a coin can even be employed. Moreover, parents can encourage children to pitch in by rewarding them. Once children complete their chores, parents can have them earn privileges or provide an allowance. After a week or two, the family can have a discussion again to see if anything needs to be adjusted.

第二段
|
In my family, my sister and I have shared household chores since we were little. My parents make chores a regular part of a family routine, as they are convinced that chores help develop children’s character. As kids, we started to participate by doing smallish chores like picking up toys or putting clothes on the hooks. As we grow older, we have more choice of chores and heavier loads. We always have fun doing the chores, feeling happy to be important contributors and to be able to help reduce my parents’ burden. Also, I myself have reaped many benefits from this routine. In order to complete the chores and do my homework, I have learned how to manage time and make good plans. A sense of responsibility and the ability to deal with frustration and minimize stress are what I have developed as well. All in all, through doing household chores, I am delighted to help maintain a clean home and make myself a better person at the same time.

2. 第一句前半部「相較於…」必須以分詞構句Compared with表示。在主要子句中，以「年輕人」作為主詞，後面以「V + O」的結構表示。第二句前半部為副詞，須注意「快速改變」的譯法，後半部份則以「S + V + O」的結構譯出即可。本次翻譯題句構不難，特別要注意一些固定寫法，如「Compared with」與「fast-changing」，稍微困難之處在於第一句的繁榮(prosperity)與第二句的片語因應新的挑戰(meet/deal with/cope with new challenges)。
