Heroes are selfless people who perform extraordinary acts.

The glory lies not in the achievement but in the sacrifice.

Fans of professional baseball and football argue continually over which isAmerica’s favorite sport. Though the figures on attendance for each vary with every new season, certain 26 remain the same. To begin with, football is a quicker, more physical sport, and football fans enjoy the emotional involvement they feel while watching. Baseball, on the other hand, seems more mental, like chess, and 27 those fans that prefer a quieter, more complicated game. 28 , professional football teams usually play no more than fourteen games a year. Baseball teams, however, play 29 every day for six months. Finally, football fans seem to love the half-time activities, the marching bands, and the pretty cheerleaders. 30 , baseball fans are more content to concentrate on the game’s finer details and spend the breaks between innings filling out their own private scorecards.

職棒迷與足球迷對於哪一個才是美國最受喜愛的運動，一直爭吵不休。儘管每一場次出席的人數會隨著每一個新的球季而有所變化，某種26.爭執依舊是相同的。首先，足球是一種速度較快且較激烈的運動，足球迷享受那種在看球賽時所感受的情緒投入。另一方面，棒球似乎比較重視心智，像下棋一樣，且27.吸引那些偏好較安靜又較複雜比賽的球迷。28.此外，職業足球隊伍通常一年出賽不會超過十四場，然而棒球隊伍持續六個月29幾乎每天出賽。最後，足球迷似乎喜愛中場休息時的活動、樂儀隊以及美麗的啦啦隊隊員。30.相反地，棒球迷更滿意於專注在比賽中更微妙的細節，以及在每局之間的休息時間中，在他們個人的得分卡上填上分數。

26. (A) agreements (B) arguments (C) accomplishments (D) arrangements

(A) 協定，意見一致 (B) 爭執 (C) 成就 (D) 安排

[解析] 由主旨句中的動詞argue，可看出本文旨在探討棒球迷與足球球迷間的爭執，因此推論發展句仍然繼續探討爭執一事，故選arguments。

27. (A) attracted (B) is attracted (C) attract (D) attracts

(A) ~ (D) 吸引

[解析] 本格前出現對等連結詞and，即可判斷動詞的形式應該與前面出現的動詞一致，seems為第三人稱單數現在式，故選attracts。

28. (A) In addition (B) As a result (C) In contrast (D) To some extent

(A) 此外 (B) 因此 (C) 相較之下 (D) 到某種程度

[解析] 本文第三句出現To begin with，接著出現on the other hand，顯然是用於表示說明順序的轉折詞，故選in addition。

[補充] � as a result 因此(說明結果)

‧He kept on working for five days. As a result, he finished his task on time.

� in contrast 相較之下(說明兩者間的差異)

‧Your apple seems small in contrast to mine.

� to some extent 到某種程度

‧We depend on our parents to some extent.

[補充] � even so 即使如此

‧I know it’s dangerous. But even so, I have to do it.

� for that reason 為了那個理由

‧Peter hoped to travel abroad. For that reason, he took one week off.

Who is more stressed out—the Asian teenager or the American teenager? Surprise. The American teen wins this contest. According to a recent study, almost three-quarters of American high school juniors said they felt stress at least once a week, some almost daily. Fewer than half of Japanese and Taiwanese eleventh graders reported feeling stress that often.

The phenomenon of stress is the constant interaction between mind and body. And the influence of one upon the other can be either positive or negative. What can the mind do to the body? Studies have proved that watching funny movies can reduce pain and promote healing. Conversely, worry can give a person an ulcer, high blood pressure, or even a heart attack.

The mind and body work together to produce stress, which is a bodily response to a stimulus, a response that disturbs the body’s normal physiological balance. However, stress is not always bad. For example, a stress reaction can sometimes save a person’s life by releasing hormones that enable a person to react quickly and with greater energy in a dangerous situation. In everyday situations, too, stress can provide that extra push needed to do something difficult. But too much stress often injures both the mind and the body. How can stress be kept under control? Learn to Lighten Up and Live Longer, the best seller of the month, has several good suggestions. So, grab a copy and start learning how you can reduce stress in your life.

誰的壓力最大——亞洲的青少年或是美國的青少年？驚訝吧！美國的青少年贏得這項競賽。根據最近一項研究，幾乎有四分之三的美國高二學生說他們一星期中感到有壓力至少一次，有些幾乎每天都有壓力。低於二分之一的日本或台灣高二學生說他們常常有壓力。

壓力的現象是身心之間不斷的互相影響。其中一者對另一者的影響可能是正面的，也可能是負面的。那麼心理如何影響生理呢？多項研究證明觀賞有趣的電影會減少疼痛，並增進療效。相反地，煩惱會造成一個人有潰瘍、高血壓、甚至心肌梗塞。

心智與身體一起活動會產生壓力，這是一種針對刺激的身體反應，會擾亂正常身體的生理平衡。然而，壓力未必是不好的。舉例來說，在危險的情境中，藉由釋放一種使人反應快速和產生較大力量的荷爾蒙，壓力的反應可以拯救一個人的性命。在日常的情境中亦然，壓力能提供從事某種困難事物所需的額外衝勁。但是過多的壓力常常會傷害身心。壓力要如何受控制？上個月的暢銷書《學會放輕鬆並活得長壽》有許多好建議。因此，去買一本，並開始學習如何減輕生命中的壓力。

41. What is the writer’s main purpose for writing this passage?

(A) To find who are the most stressed out teenagers.

(B) To explain that stress is a mental problem.

(D) To promote a book about reducing stress.

作者寫這篇文章的目的為何？

(A) mental illness (B) physical problem

第二段畫線字ulcer指的是一種。

[解析] 找到第二段最後一句：ulcer, high blood pressure, or even a heart attack，由高血壓、心肌梗塞二種疾病，推測ulcer也是一種生理疾病，故選(B)。

43. According to the passage, which of following is a positive effect of stress?

(A) Watching funny movies.

(B) Doing relaxing exercise.

(D) Reacting quickly in risky situations.

根據本文，下列何者是壓力的正面影響力？

(A) 觀賞好笑的電影。 (B) 做放鬆運動。

[解析] 從第三段第二句：However, stress is not always bad.可得知壓力也有正面的好處。找到For example開始看例子：…that enable a person to react quickly and with greater strength in a dangerous situation.，故選(D)。

44. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

(A) Taiwanese teens experience more stress than American teens.

(B) Stress is a state too complicated to be kept under full control.

(D) Stress is always more positive than harmful to the body.

根據本文，下列敘述何者是正確的？

(A) 台灣的青少年比美國青少年經歷的壓力多。

(B) 壓力是一種太複雜而不能完全控制的狀態。

(D) 壓力的正面影響多過於對身體的傷害。

[解析] 第一段：The American teen wins this contest—being more stressed out. 看出(A)是錯的。

第二段：The phenomenon of stress is the constant interaction between mind and body.並沒有提到complicated一字，故(B)不正確。

最後一段：For example中提到壓力的一種正面影響，似乎比文中提到對身心的傷害少，故(D)是錯的。

最後第二句提到這本書時用同位語：the best seller of the month，既是暢銷書，推斷應該受歡迎(popular)，故選(C)。

Tea was the first brewed beverage. The Chinese emperor Shen Nung in 2737 B.C. introduced the drink. Chinese writer Lu Yu wrote in A.D. 780 that there were “tens of thousands” of teas. Chinese tea was introduced toJapanin A.D. 800. It was then introduced toEuropein the early 1600s, when trade began betweenEuropeand theFar East. At that time,Chinawas the main supplier of tea to the world. Then in 1834, tea cultivation began inIndiaand spread toSri Lanka,Thailand,Burma, and other areas ofSoutheast Asia. Today,Java,South Africa,South America, and areas of theCaucasusalso produce tea.

There are three kinds of tea: black, green, and oolong. Most international tea trading is in black tea. Black tea preparation consists mainly of picking young leaves and leaf buds on a clear sunny day and letting the leaves dry for about an hour in the sun. Then, they are lightly rolled and left in a fermentation room to develop scent and a red color. Next, they are heated several more times. Finally, the leaves are dried in a basket over a charcoal fire. Green tea leaves are heated in steam, rolled, and dried. Oolong tea is prepared similarly to black tea, but without the fermentation time.

Three main varieties of tea—Chinese, Assamese, and Cambodian—have distinct characteristics. The Chinese variety, a strong plant that can grow to be 2.75 meters high, can live to be 100 years old and survives cold winters. The Assamese variety can grow 18 meters high and lives about 40 years. The Cambodian tea tree grows five meters tall.

Tea is enjoyed worldwide as a refreshing and stimulating drink. Because so many people continue to drink the many varieties of tea, it will probably continue as the world’s most popular drink.

茶是第一種的釀製飲料。西元前二千七百三十七年中國的神農氏介紹這種飲料。中國作家陸羽在西元七百八十年寫到茶有數萬種。中國的茶在西元八百年引進日本。後來在十七世紀初在歐洲與遠東展開貿易時，茶傳入了歐洲。當時，中國是世界茶葉的主要供給商。到了一八三四年，印度開始種植茶葉，進而流傳到斯里蘭卡、泰國、緬甸、和東南亞其他地區。如今，爪哇、南非、南美以及高加索地區也生產茶葉。

茶葉有三種：紅茶、綠茶、和烏龍茶。多數的國際茶葉貿易屬於紅茶。紅茶的準備工作主要是包括了在晴朗有陽光的白天採集嫩葉和芽，並讓葉子在太陽下晒乾約一小時左右。然後將它們輕輕地滾動，並放置在發酵室中產生香氣並呈現紅色。接下來，反覆數次的加熱後，最後將葉子放在炭火之上的籃子中，使其受熱乾燥。綠茶在蒸氣中受熱、翻動並且乾燥。烏龍茶的製程類似於紅茶，但沒有經過發酵的時間。

三種主要不同的茶―中國的、阿薩姆的和高棉的―都有不同的特質。中國的品種，是一種能成長到2.75公尺高的強壯植物，能活一百年並在寒冬中存活。阿薩姆的品種能長到18公尺高並存活約40年。高棉的茶長到5公尺高。

茶葉受到全球喜愛，被視為提神和振奮的飲料。因為有如此多的人持續在喝這麼多種不同的茶，所以它有可能會是世界上最受歡迎的飲料。

Astronauts often work 16 hours a day on the space shuttle in order to complete all the projects set out for the mission. From space, astronauts study the geography, pollution, and weather patterns on Earth. They take many photographs to record their observations. Also, astronauts conduct experiments on the shuttle to learn how space conditions, such as microgravity, affect humans, animals, plants, and insects. Besides working, regular exercise is essential to keep the astronauts healthy in microgravity.

Astronauts sometimes go outside the shuttle to work. They are protected by a space suit from the radiation of the Sun. Meanwhile, the space suit provides necessary oxygen supply and keeps the astronauts from feeling the extreme heat or cold outside the shuttle.

When the mission is over, the crew members get ready to return to Earth. The shuttle does not use its engines for a landing. It glides through the atmosphere. When the shuttle touches the land, a drag parachute opens to steady the aircraft, get the speed right, and help the brakes on the landing-gear wheels to bring it to a complete stop.

太空人通常每天在太空梭中工作十六小時，目的是為了完成任務中的所有計畫。太空人從太空研究地球的地理、污染和天氣型態。他們拍攝很多照片來記錄他們的觀察。太空人也在太空梭上做實驗，以了解太空中的狀態，例如微引力，對人類、動物、植物、和昆蟲的影響為何。除了工作之外，處於微引力下，規律的運動對於保持太空人的健康也是不可或缺的。

有時候太空人會出太空梭工作。他們藉由太空裝的保護免受太陽輻射的傷害。同時，太空裝提供必要的氧氣供給，並使得太空人在太空梭外面時不會感到極端的炎熱或寒冷。

當任務結束時，所有成員準備返回地球。太空梭降落時不使用引擎，它在大氣層中滑行。當太空梭觸碰陸地時，減速傘會張開以穩定太空梭、維持適當的速度，並協助在起落架滑輪上的煞車能完全停止。

49. The passage is mainly about _____.

(A) how astronauts fly the space shuttle (B) how a space mission is completed

本文主要內容為。

(A) 太空人如何駕駛太空梭 (B) 如何完成太空任務

[解析] 讀完全文，從頭談太空人的工作，到結束談太空梭返回地球，得知本文主要介紹太空任務的開始與結束，故選(B)。

50. The underlined word conduct in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _____.

(A) behave (B) instruct (C) serve as (D) carry out

第一段畫線字conduct的意思最接近以下哪個字詞？

(A) 行為 (B) 指導 (C) 充當 (D) 執行

[解析] 從搭配詞學習得知本題答案選(D)。

do experiments = conduct experiments = carry out experiments 做實驗

51. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

(A) The astronauts need a space suit to work outside the shuttle.

(B) The astronauts keep themselves warm in a space suit.

(D) The astronauts can hardly breathe in a space suit.

根據本文，下列哪一個敘述不是正確的？

(A) 太空人到太空梭外面工作時需要太空裝。

(B) 太空人穿太空裝保持溫暖。

(D) 太空人穿太空裝時幾乎不能呼吸。

[解析] 閱讀第二段的三個句子可得知太空裝的各項功能，所以判斷(D)錯誤。

52. A parachute needs to be opened because it can _____.

(A) slow down the shuttle

(B) stop the shuttle from falling

(D) help the shuttle glide through the atmosphere

Joy Hirsch, a neuroscientist inNew York, has recently found evidence that children and adults don’t use the same parts of the brain when learning a second language. He used an instrument called an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) to study the brains of two groups of bilingual people. One group consisted of those who had learned a second language as children. The other consisted of people who learned their second language later in life. People from both groups were placed inside the MRI scanner. This allowed Hirsch to see which parts of the brain were getting more blood and were more active. He asked people from both groups to think about what they had done the day before, first in one language and then the other. They couldn’t speak out loud, because any movement would disrupt the scanning.

Hirsch looked specifically at two language centers in the brain—Broca’s area, believed to control speech production, and Wernicke’s area, thought to process meaning. He found that both groups of people used the same part of Wernicke’s area no matter what language they were speaking. But how they used Broca’s area was different.

People who learned a second language as children used the same region in Broca’s area for both languages. People who learned a second language later in life used a special part of Broca’s area for their second language—near the one activated for their native tongue.

How does Hirsch explain this difference? He believes that, when language is first being programmed in young children, their brains may mix all languages into the same area. But once that programming is complete, a different part of the brain must take over a new language. Another possibility is simply that we may acquire languages differently as children than we do as adults. Hirsch thinks that mothers teach a baby to speak by using different methods such as touch, sound, and sight. And that’s very different from sitting in a high school class.

Joy Hirsch是在紐約的一名腦神經科學家，最近找到一項證據，就是小孩與成人在學習第二種語言時所使用的大腦部位是不同的。他使用一種叫做MRI(磁共振造影)的儀器研究使用雙語的二組人的大腦。其中一組是由從孩童時期就學習第二種語言的人組成，另一組是比較晚才學習的人。二組人都會進入MRI的掃描器中，讓Hirsch看到大腦中哪些部分的血液較多並更活躍，他要求二組的人想一想前一天所做的事，第一次用一種語言，接著用第二種語言。他們不能大聲說出來，因為任何的移動都會中斷掃描。

Hirsch明確地觀看大腦中的二個語言中心―Broca區，一般認為是控制語言產生，及Wernicke區，一般認為是處理意義區。他發現二組人無論說哪種語言都使用Wernicke的相同部位，但是他們使用Broca區的方法卻不相同。

從小就學習第二種語言的人在說兩種語言的時候，使用Broca區的部位都相同，長大後才學第二種語言的人在說第二種語言時，是使用Broca區一處特別的部位，在靠近產生母語活動的區域。

Hirsch如何解釋這種差異呢？他認為當語言首次輸入腦中時，大腦會把所有的語言混合放入相同的區域。但是一旦輸入完成後，大腦的不同部位必須接管新的語言。另一種可能性是小孩與成人學會語言的方式不同。Hirsch認為母親藉由不同的方法如觸摸、聲音和景象等教小嬰兒說話，而這與坐在高中教室裏(學習語言)是非常不同的。

53. The purpose of this passage is to

(A) 觀察人們使用語言時大腦的活動。

(B) 觀察人們大聲說話時大腦的活動。

(D) 描述學習第二種語言時腦部的最佳區域。

[解析] 第一段第六句提到實驗對象進入儀器中時，…Hirsch to see which parts of the brain were getting more blood and were more active. 說明大腦的活動，故選(A)。

55. The language center in the brain that is believed to control speech production is called

(A) MRI. (B) native tongue. (C) Wernicke’s area. (D) Broca’s area.

一般認為大腦的語言中心控制說話的產生區稱為

(A) MRI (B) 母語 (C) Wernicke區 (D) Broca區

[解析] 第二段第一句後半：Broca’s area, believed to control speech production得知答案應選(D)。

56. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE for bilingual people?

(A) Those who spoke different languages used the same part of Wernicke’s area.

(B) Those who spoke different languages always used the same part of Broca’s area.

(D) Those who spoke different languages always used different parts of Wernicke’s area.

根據本文，對通二種語言者的敘述哪一句是正確的？

(A) 凡是說不同語言的人使用Wernicke區的相同部位。

(B) 凡是說不同語言的人使用Broca區的相同部位。

(D) 凡是說不同語言的人總是使用Wernicke區的不同部位。

[解析] 從第二段第二句後半：both groups of people used the same part of Wernick’s area no matter what language they were speaking. 得知答案(A)是正確的。
