三、閱讀測驗【請依照段落上下文意,選出最適當的答案】
第一篇
The first kayaks were created thousands of years ago by arctic inhabitants now known as the Intuits. These early indigenous
people, formerly known as Eskimos, inhabited areas of Greenland, the northeastern point of Russia, Alaska, and the uppermost
regions of Canada. Early Eskimos made kayak frames using driftwood, and early kayaks were wrapped in sealskins. Early kayaks
were virtually unsinkable with air-filled seal bladders. These early kayaks were used during summer months primarily for hunting
and fishing. The word “kayak” literally means “hunters' boat.”
Early kayak design varied according to the specific needs of inhabitants of particular regions. For instance, early kayaks
designed by inhabitants surrounding the Bering Straight created wider, shorter kayaks. This kayak design provided a large area for
storing game and supplies, and it was more stable on rough water than the longer and more slender kayaks designed for speed by the
Aleuts.
Europeans eventually discovered the versatility of the kayak, and kayaks once designed with sealskins were designed by
Europeans with fabric covers. In 1905 a German inventor named Hans Klepper eventually purchased a design for a folding canvas
kayak from a German student. He called this kayak a "foldboat." Klepper began selling this early version of the folding kayak, and
kayaks once used primarily for navigation and hunts by indigenous people were now being used for sport.
Plastic kayaks were introduced in the 1980's, and kayaks continue to become lighter, sturdier, and more versatile. Now there
are several types of kayaks designed with various materials suitable for a variety of sporting events. Those who love the sport of
kayaking have more choices now than ever before.

Their kayaks were easily foldable. They needed more space for their supplies.

第二篇
Of the many oddities that are culturally specific to Japan—from cat cafés to graveyard eviction notices to the infamous Suicide
Forest, where an estimated 100 people per year take their own lives—perhaps none is as little known, and curious, as “the
evaporated people.” Since the mid-1990s, it’s estimated that at least 100,000 Japanese men and women vanish annually. They are
the architects of their own disappearances, banishing themselves over indignities large and small: divorce, debt, job loss, failing an
exam. “Evaporations” have surged in Japan at key points: the aftermath of World War II, when national shame was at its apex, and in
the aftermath of the financial crises of 1989 and 2008.
A shadow economy has emerged to service those who never want to be found—who want to make their disappearances look
like abductions and their homes look like they’ve been robbed, with no paper trail or financial transactions to track them down.
Nighttime Movers was one such company, started by a man named Hatori. He’d run a legitimate moving service until one night, in a
karaoke bar, a woman asked if he could arrange for her to “disappear, along with her furniture”. She said she could not stand her
husband’s debts, which were ruining her life.
In many ways, Japan is a culture of loss. According to a 2014 report by the World Health Organization, Japan’s suicide rate is
60 percent higher than the global average. There are between 60 and 90 suicides per day. It’s a centuries-old concept dating back to
the Samurai, who committed suicide by ritual disembowelment, and one as recent as the Japanese kamikaze pilots of World War II,
who flew their aircrafts into enemy ships. Japanese culture also emphasizes uniformity, the importance of the group over the
individual. “You must hit the nail that stands out” is a Japanese maxim, and for those who can’t, or won’t, fit into society, adhere to
its strict cultural norms and near-religious devotion to work, to vanish is to find freedom.
【1】46. What is the passage mainly about?
The evaporated people in Japan Oddities in Japanese culture
How to track down someone who disappeared People who want to commit suicide
【1】47. Which of the following is true about the evaporated people?
They can ask people to help them disappear. They usually stay in touch with their family.

【4】48. When is there more likely to be more cases of human evaporations in Japan?
When the economy is good When climate change is very serious
When a new house is being built When Japan loses a war
【3】49. According to the passage, why do people want to evaporate?
They want to be special. They want to kill themselves.
They want to escape from shame. They want to become Samurais.
【4】50. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage about Japanese culture?
Workaholics are usually mocked.
Women usually move more often than men.
Freedom is greatly emphasized.
The group is considered more important than the individual.
