Coffee includes numerous species but only two of them are of real economic importance: Arabica and Robusta. 
Arabica represents the 60-70% of world’s production  41   Robusta represents the 30-40% of world’s production. 
Arabicas  tend  to  be  considered  higher  in  quality   42   Robustas  because  of  their  flavor  differences.  Those 
differences  are in constituents,   43   the  amount  of sugars and  acids,  the  lipid  concentration, and  the level  of 
sucrose. It is because of those   44   in varieties, growing conditions of altitude, rainfall, and sunlight, processing 
variables as fermentation, drying, and roasting, packaging and storing, and brewing conditions that make it important 
to have a lexicon to help   45   the variations in sensory profiles in coffees around the world. This vocabulary must

四、閱讀測驗【請在下列各題中選出最適當的答案】 
第一篇: 
On April 24, 1792, Claude-Joseph Rouget de Lisle was a captain of engineers stationed in Strasbourg, France, 
near the Rhine River. The mayor of the town called for an anthem just days after the French declared war on 
Austria. The story says that the amateur musician penned the song in a single night, giving it the title of “Battle 
Hymn of the Army of the Rhine”. Rouget de Lisle’s new song was an instant hit with the French troops as they 
marched. It soon took on the name La Marseillaise because it was particularly popular with volunteer units from 
Marseille. On July 14, 1795, the French declared La Marseillaise the national song. 
As shown in the lyrics, La Marseillaise has a very revolutionary tone. It is said that Rouget de Lisle himself 
supported the monarchy, but the spirit of the song was quickly picked up by revolutionaries. The controversy did 
not stop in the eighteenth century, but has lasted over the years and the lyrics remain the subject of debate today. 
For example, Napoleon banned La Marseillaise under the Empire from 1804 to 1815. It was also banned in 1815 
by King Louis XVIII. Later, La Marseillaise was reinstated in 1830. Again, the song was banned during the rule 
of Napoleon III, from 1852 to 1870. Then, La Marseillaise was once again reinstated in 1879. In 1887 an official 
version was adopted by France’s Ministry of War. After the liberation of France during World War II, the Ministry 
of  Education  encouraged  school  children  to  sing  La  Marseillaise  to  celebrate  liberation  and  martyrs.  La 
Marseillaise was declared the official national anthem in Article 2 of the 1946 and 1958 constitutions. 
La Marseillaise is widely popular and it is not uncommon for the song to make an appearance in popular 
songs and movies. Most famously, it was used in part by Tchaikovsky in his 1812 Overture debuted in 1882. The 
song also formed an emotional and unforgettable scene in the 1942 classic film, Casablanca.

第二篇: 
Even though Japan and France are the two countries that enjoy highspeed today, their highspeed rail systems 
are technically different.   
The French TGV and Japanese Shinkansen were designed for different geographic and traffic demands. A 
close  look  at  the map  of  both  these  systems  will  tell  you  that  Shinkansen,  as  the  name  itself  suggests,  was 
envisioned like a huge backbone from which smaller branches branch out to connect the entire country. It passes 
through a series of urban agglomerations hence encountering frequent stops throughout the line. The hilly terrain 
of Japan means it will have more curves and tunnels comparatively which affect the train design as have been 
seen. The geography of Japan also supports a track route of such a nature. The French TGV lines, on the other 
hand, is designed in a way that the corners of the country are well connected with its capital city, Paris. And as 
TGV map suggests, the lines are not so densely populated as in Japan. 
Shinkansen trains are designed to run full of people. It is not that the TGV cannot run in full capacity. But the 
number of seats required in Shinkansen is significantly much larger than that seen in TGV’s. The first seven of the 
highest number of people that can be accommodated per meter all belong to Shinkansen, with a capacity per unit 
length between 3 and 4 people every meter of train length. The best train in the series from the TGV series comes 
at 8th with over 2.5 people per meter of the train. This means there is more space and comfort for travelers in 
TGV as compared to the Shinkansen trains. This leads to a possibility of capacity of about 1,200 people per 
trainset in case of Shinkansen trains while TGV trainset supports over 500 people per trainset. 
【3】56. What is the passage meaning about? 
 A comparative study on modern highspeed rail systems. 
 Traffic demands in Japan and France. 
 A comparison between the French TGV and the Japanese Shinkansen. 
 The performances of two highspeed rail systems. 
【2】57. Which of the following is closest to agglomerations in the second paragraph in meaning? 
 Sparsely populated areas.   
 Clusters of people. 
 A collection of train stops.   
 A great number of vehicles. 
【1】58. According to the passage, which of the following shapes best delineates the lines of the French system?

【2】59. Which of the following is true? 
 The Japanese Shinkansen is not comfortable because the lines pass many hills and tunnels. 
 The Shinkansen is named to denote that it forms the backbone of the country’s transportation. 
 The French TGV comes at 8th in capacity because the system is not well financially supported. 
 The French TGV, though built on plains, adopts similar construction techniques to the Shinkansen. 
【4】60. Which of the following statements best concludes the passage? 
 Highspeed rail systems today have made great improvements. 
 The French TGV and the Japanese Shinkansen are both good highspeed rail systems. 
 In terms of performance, the two best highspeed rail systems still have room for improvement. 
 The French TGV and the Shinkansen are different because of geography and capacity demands.
