Do you bike today? Do YouBike rides kindle your passion to zip past one bicycle lane after another? Launched in
2009, YouBike’s rental system offers cyclists an easy way to rent and return bikes. Cyclists only need an EasyCard to
rent a YouBike. What’s more, by using this system, bikes can be rented at one location and dropped off at another on a
24/7 basis. In Taipei City alone, there are as many as four hundred YouBike stations. This carbon-free vehicle rental
system also extends to many other major cities. No wonder YouBike is acknowledged to have become part of the city
landscape in Taiwan.
Another important contributing factor in the growing popularity of this rental system has to do with its excellent
cost-performance ratio. Each thirty minutes costs only ten NT dollars within the initial four hours. YouBike also serves
as a best alternative to cars and buses during rush hours, when the traffic jam can leave you cranky. Perhaps one of its
greatest contributions lies in the reduction of carbon emissions. In 2013, statistics showed that YouBike’s rental service
contributed to a trip distance of about 11 million kilometers. On this basis, the overall carbon emission reduction in
Taipei City was equivalent to 6.89 million metric tons of carbon emissions from motorcycles and 27 million metric tons
from automobiles.
The success of YouBike also has a lot to do with its creative concepts. It boasts a database management system that
can analyze the utilization rate of bikes speedily, resulting in efficient allocation of bikes among rental stations and
ensuring that cyclists can rent a bike within ten minutes. With the goals of green economy and sustainable development
in mind, it is time to go even greener. Let’s all go YouBiking today!
35 What is the purpose of this passage?

To show that automobiles result in more carbon emission than YouBikes.

The most famous mystery about Loch Ness surrounds the phenomenon of an enormous creature, known as the Loch
Ness Monster, or Nessie. The first recorded sighting of the monster was in A.D. 565, when it was said to have eaten a
local farmer. Over the years, rumors spread far and wide.
In 1933, construction began on the A82—the road that runs along the north shore of the Loch. The work involved
considerable drilling and blasting and people believed that the disruption forced the monster into the open. Around this
time, there were numerous sightings and, in 1934, London surgeon R. K. Wilson took a photograph that appeared to
show a slender head and neck rising above the water. Nessie hit the headlines and has remained the topic of fierce debate
ever since.
In the 1960s, the Loch Ness Investigation Bureau conducted a ten-year survey. By the end of the decade, mini-
submarines were used for the first time to explore the Loch. New public interest was generated in the mid-1970s when
underwater photographs of what appeared to be a “flipper” were made public.
To this day, there is still no conclusive proof. Whatever the truth, it’s always worth a trip to Loch Ness to see for
yourself.

On average Americans chew about 300 sticks of gum per person a year. Why is chewing gum so popular? Some
people say that it not only helps you relax but also helps you stay awake. Others chew gum after a meal to have fresh
breath. It can help fight tooth decay as well. But few people know that there is an even better reason for chewing gum—
it can improve memory!
In an experiment, the scientists divided 75 people into three groups. One third chewed real gum, one third chewed
imaginary gum, and the last third didn’t chew anything. Then, each group was given a lot of different memory tests. The
results were very interesting. The people with real gum did better than those with imaginary gum, and the latter did better
than those who didn’t have any gum at all.
How does chewing gum help memory? One possible reason is that when people chew, there is more activity in an
area of the brain that is important for memory. Another possible reason is that when people chew, their heart beats faster
so more oxygen goes to the brain. So, do you have an exam coming up? Start chewing now!
43 What is the best title for this passage?
New Experiments on Chewing Gum. The Key to Staying Awake.
Chewing Gum for Better Memory. The Popularity of Chewing Gum.
44 Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a possible reason why people chew gum?
To stay awake. To be in good shape. To have good breath. To fight tooth decay.
45 What does “the latter” refer to in the passage?
The people with real gum. The people with imaginary gum.
The people without gum. The people in the experiment.
46 According to the passage, which of the following statements is true about the experiment?
In the experiment, the three groups were asked to measure their heartbeats.
In the experiment, only twenty-five people were given real gum to chew on.
The people with imaginary gum did fastest on the memory questions.
There was more activity in the brain for those who didn’t chew anything.
