IV. 閱讀測驗：以下兩篇短文，共有10個題目，為第32至41題，請於閱讀短文後選出最適當的答案。
Energy from the sun is called solar energy. People use solar energy to
produce heat in different ways. For example, many buildings use large solar
collectors to collect sunlight. Inside the solar collectors are rows of black
tubes carrying water or air. Sunlight strikes the tubes and heats the water or
air inside them. The tubes carry the heated water or air to pipes that run
throughout the building. The heated water or air is pumped through the pipes.
If the heat is not needed, it goes to a storage tank. On a cloudy day or at
night, the stored heat can be used. This kind of system is called active
heating.
Another way to use solar energy is to “trap” it. When sunlight passes
through the glass windows and strikes the material inside, the solar energy
changes to heat. This heat warms the air inside, so the air inside becomes
warmer and warmer. This build-up of heat is called the greenhouse effect. Such
kind of heating is called passive solar heating.
In addition to producing heat, solar energy can also be used to produce
electricity. Some may think that solar energy seems to be a perfect energy
source. It is clean, plentiful, and free. But there are problems in using solar
energy. One problem is that not all places receive enough sunlight to make
solar energy useful. Besides, solar energy is not constant. If there are
several cloudy days in a row, the stored heat or electrical energy may be used
up.
32. According to the passage, what do people use to gather sunlight?
(A) Lightening strike. (B) Solar
collectors. (C) Storage tanks. (D) Pipe cleaners.
33. Which of the following carries the heated water or air to run
throughout the building?
(A) Trappers. (B)
Tanks. (C) Pipes. (D) Greenhouses.
34. Which of the following could be inferred from the reading passage?
(A) There is only one way to use solar energy to produce heat.
(B) People can enjoy using solar energy without worrying.
(C) Glass can be used to change sunlight into a source of energy.
(D) All places get enough sunlight to make solar energy.
35.
According to the passage, which of the following about solar energy is NOT true?
(A) Solar energy is hard to produce without enough sunlight.
(B) Solar energy can be used to produce heat and electricity.
(C) Solar energy can be kept in storage tanks for future use.
(D) Solar energy is a perfect and stable energy source.
36.
What is the best title for this passage?
(A) Energy from the Sun (B)
Different Types of Energy
(C) Effects of Electricity (D)
The Greenhouse Effect
Water is a major component of the human body. Lack of water can affect
bodily functions. The body continuously loses water through daily activities
and must make up for this loss through food such as fruits and vegetables, and
beverages such as milk and soda. Water, which is calorie free, is the
healthiest drink.
Men need 13 cups of water per day and women need nine. Water requirements
depend on activity levels, climate, and health. If you are doing exercise, you
need to drink an extra two cups of water. For intense exercise, such as
marathon running or road cycling, you need even more. Sports drinks are one way
to replace water and sodium lost through sweat. In hot and dry weather, the
body must have enough water to keep cool. Furthermore, in mountains of over
2500 meters, people breathe faster, so they require five cups of water more
than usual.
People suffering from fever should also take in additional fluids to
balance water loss. Pregnant or breast-feeding women need large amounts of
water, too. Doctors advise mothers-to-be to drink ten cups of water daily and
women who are breast-feeding 14 cups per day. All in all, water needs differ
according to various factors and drinking proper amounts of water is key to
good health.
37.
According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor
influencing water needs?
(A) Personal health. (B)
Climate conditions. (C) Sports
activities. (D) Emotional
status.
38.
According to the passage, how much water should a pregnant woman drink per day?
(A) 9 cups. (B)
10 cups. (C) 13
cups. (D) 14
cups.

(A)Water is needed for the body to function well. (B) You need less water if you get a high temperature.
(C) Sports drinks do not provide sodium for athletes. (D) Soda is the best drink for the body.
