請以藍、黑色鋼筆或原子筆在申論試卷上作答。
一、英譯中（15 分）
History has shown that languages attached to power, wealth, and prestige
have spread at the expense of those viewed less favorably. Therefore, as
the power attached to Mandarin Chinese or Hindi grows, so too will the
use of these languages in the global arena. While we do not deny a future
shift in world power, it is unlikely that these languages will replace
English immediately since the trade-off between languages is not a
zero-sum game.
二、中譯英（15 分）
根據美國法律，如果一個人被告犯罪，那在他被證明有罪之前，法庭
必須先假定他是清白的。換句話說，法庭有責任舉證說明一個人有
罪，被告沒有責任去證明自己是無辜的。

Child custody disputes present problems from a variety of perspectives. Although most disputes

In an article entitled “The Lure of Technologies Past,” Nick Bilton says: “What I’ve come to realize is
that while the new thing gets people excited, the old thing often doesn’t go away. And if it does, it takes
a very long time to meet its demise.” Indeed, the old thing dies hard. Just take a look at film cameras.
One would think they have been 16 by the digital camera, but millions of people still use them.
And while Polaroid, the instant film camera, has filed for bankruptcy, the company is making a 17 .
One of Polaroid’s largest growing 18 , surprisingly, is teenagers who want tangible photos but do
not want to wait.
Other cases in point are vinyl records, print books and newspapers. According to the Recording Industry
Association of America, 13 million vinyl records were sold in 2014, the highest count in 25 years.
About 55 million newspapers still land on doorsteps every morning. And More than 571 million print
books were sold in the United States in 2014.
So why does old technology 19 and, in some cases, undergo a revival? For some consumers, it’s
about 20 (e.g., film cameras and record players), while for others, it’s about familiarity (e.g.,
newspapers and print books).

within two to four days if the initial ultrasound is performed early in pregnancy.

請依下文回答第 26 題至第 30 題：
Extending health coverage to illegal immigrants is sound policy. The inclusion of the
illegal-immigrant population may lower costs in numerous ways, including lower insurance premiums,
lower emergency medical expenditures, and a switch from expensive late-stage treatments to
cost-effective preventative and ambulatory care. Coverage will obviously benefit illegal immigrants, but
the entire US population will also reap the rewards of a broader risk pool comprising individuals with
comparatively low medical expenditures and usage trends. Extending coverage could also have
important public health benefits. Ensuring treatment, especially of infectious disease, protects the health
of the population as a whole, and this is particularly important considering the ease of travel and access
to different parts of the globe. The public health is also served by prompt diagnosis and treatment of
chronic diseases, such as heart disease and diabetes.
Allowing illegal immigrants to stay and pretending they’re not here doesn’t work for anyone.
Prohibiting inclusion of illegal immigrants in the formal healthcare system and at the same time
extending piecemeal benefits, emergency rooms, and some patchwork of state and local governments is
a poor way to address the intractable problem of ever increasing health care costs. The federal
government should meet this challenge head-on in the form of health coverage, recognizing the benefits
that could accrue to it by instituting necessary health insurance reforms. Even if immigration reform
does materialize, nothing will have been lost by providing coverage in the interim. As the illegal
immigrant population declines, for instance, because of fewer economic opportunities in the United
States or absorption into the lawful immigrant category, the system has enough fluidity to respond.
Further tweaks may be necessary, but incremental improvement is a characteristic of any public
benefits scheme. What is not acceptable is to tacitly ignore the problem while setting up additional
barriers to coverage.
26 What is the first paragraph mainly about?
Reasons why the health care costs are rapidly increasing.
Potential benefits of providing health insurance coverage to illegal immigrants.
Reasons why illegal immigrants should not be included in national health insurance plans.
How health care costs may decrease due to inclusion of illegal immigrants in national health
insurance plans.
27 Which of the following arguments is supported by the author of the passage?
Given the ease of travel nowadays, including illegal immigrants in health insurance can reduce
the spread of infectious diseases.
Illegal immigrants should be excluded from the health care system before being sent back to
their countries of origin.
Excluding illegal immigrants from the health care insurance is an effective way to lower the
nation’s health care costs.
It is necessary to design more rules to keep illegal immigrants from using expensive medical
services in the country.

28 What does the author mean by “Further tweaks may be necessary” in the second paragraph?
More research may be needed to understand the issue further.
Some policy modifications may be needed in the future.
More funds may be needed to implement the policy.
Some health care benefits of the public may need to be further reduced.
29 What is the author’s opinion about the federal government’s role in health insurance?
The health insurance should be handled by the private sector.
Providing public health care to illegal immigrants is the local government’s business.
The federal government should reform the public health insurance to make it accessible to
illegal immigrants.
The proposed health insurance reform should wait until the immigration reform is completed.
30 According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true if health insurance is
provided to illegal immigrants?
The health insurance premiums will decrease.
More immigrants will have access to preventive medical treatments.
There will be more infectious diseases in the country.
More immigrants will end up in emergency rooms with critical illness.
請依下文回答第 31 題至第 35 題：
People become vegetarians for many reasons, including health, religious convictions, concerns about
animal welfare or the use of antibiotics and hormones in livestock, or a desire to eat in a way that avoids
excessive use of environmental resources. Becoming a vegetarian has become more appealing and
accessible, thanks to the year-round availability of fresh produce, more vegetarian dining options, and
the growing culinary influence of cultures with largely plant-based diets.
Approximately six to eight million adults in the United States eat no meat, fish, or poultry. Several
million more have eliminated red meat but still eat chicken or fish. About two million have become
vegans, forgoing not only animal flesh but also animal-based products such as milk, cheese, eggs, and
gelatin.
Traditionally, research into vegetarianism focused mainly on potential nutritional deficiencies, but in
recent years, the pendulum has swung the other way, and studies are confirming the health benefits of
meat-free eating. Nowadays, plant-based eating is recognized as not only nutritionally sufficient but also
as a way to reduce the risk for many chronic illnesses. According to the American Dietetic Association,
“appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful,
nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain
diseases.”

You can get many of the health benefits of being vegetarian without going all the way. For example,
a Mediterranean eating pattern — known to be associated with longer life and reduced risk of several
chronic illnesses — features an emphasis on plant foods with a sparing use of meat. Even if you don’t
want to become a complete vegetarian, you can steer your diet in that direction with a few simple
substitutions, such as plant-based sources of protein — beans or tofu, for example — or fish instead of
meat a couple of times a week. Only you can decide whether a vegetarian diet is right for you.
31 What is the best title of this passage?
The Environmental Impact of Vegetarianism.
The Health Benefits of Plant-based Diets.
The Social Challenges of Being Vegans.
The Popularity of Meat-free Products.
32 According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of the rise in vegan
eating?
The steady supply of fruit and vegetables.
The influence of cultures with plant-based eating.
The protection of animal welfare and resources.
The wide availability of dietary supplements.
33 Which of the following is closest in meaning to “forgoing” in the second paragraph?
Abandoning. Transporting. Generating. Escaping.
34 What is the purpose of the third paragraph?
To explain why previous research produced negative results about vegetarianism.
To provide scientific evidence supporting the health effects of vegan diets.
To reveal the increase in the number of vegans in the American society.
To show how plant-based eating can be associated with certain chronic illness.
35 What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
Converting to a Mediterranean diet can reduce the risk of chronic illness.
Going vegan has become a way of showing personal freedom.
Adopting a partial vegetarian diet can still make people healthy.
Foods like tofu and beans provide a good source of protein for vegans.
請依下文回答第 36 題至第 40 題：
One of the biggest ideas to hit the political world in recent years is that politics is increasingly
defined by the division between open and closed, rather than left and right. Openness means support for
both economic openness (welcoming immigration and free trade) and the cultural sort (embracing ethnic
and sexual minorities). Closedness means the opposite.
The most obvious problem with the open-closed theory is that the divide is so slippery. Few people
support entirely open societies—it would be unreasonable to allow Ebola victims to cross borders
unimpeded. By the same token, few people advocate becoming a hermit kingdom like North Korea.
Nor are open and closed necessarily opposites. Having a strong border can make people more open, by
giving them a sense that they can manage openness. Historically, most of the world’s great centers of
commerce have been walled cities. Constantinople, the crossroads between east and west, boasted not
just a formidable wall but an outer and inner harbor.

There is a better explanation of political polarization than the open-closed split. It is the gap between
exam-passers and exam-flunkers. Qualifications grant access to a world that is protected from the
downside of globalization. You can get a job with a superstar company that has constructed moats and
drawbridges to protect itself, or with a middle-class guild that provides job security, or with the state
bureaucracy. Failing exams casts you down into an unpredictable world of cut-throat competition.
Exam-passers combine a common ability to manage the downside of globalization with a common
outlook that binds them together and legitimizes their disdain for rival tribes. Exam-flunkers,
meanwhile, are united by anger at the elitists who claim to be open as long as their jobs are protected.
They are increasingly willing to bring the system crashing down. Talking about open v closed is a
double error. It obscures the deeper forces dividing the world, and spares winners by playing down the
legitimate concerns of losers.
36 What is the main purpose of this passage?
To argue against the open-closed theory and offer a better explanation.
To show evidence that open and closed are not necessarily opposites.
To criticize the division between left and right that defines politics.
To make evident that political polarization is not a new phenomenon.
37 Why does the author use the phrase “by the same token” in Paragraph 2?
To imply that the example given before is to offer an opposite view.
To introduce an instance which is true for the same reason that was given previously.
To add another case which is more important than what was said and to correct it.
To indicate that what is said is partly true in spite of the thing that has happened.
38 Why does the gap between exam-passers and exam-flunkers offer a better explanation of political
polarization than the open-closed split?
It allows access to a world that is protected from the disadvantage of globalization.
It guarantees jobs with superstar companies that have measures to protect themselves.
It reveals the deeper forces dividing the worlds and expresses the concerns of losers.
It provides a middle-class organization that offers security and the state bureaucracy.
39 Why does the author mention “Constantinople” in Paragraph 2?
To imply that having a strong border gives people a sense that they can be more open.
To make readers doubt the boast the city once made of having a formidable wall.
To suggest that the world’s great center of commerce was the crossroads and the harbor.
To question whether a walled city necessarily means closedness.
40 According to the last two paragraphs, which of the following statements is true about people
failing exams?
United by anger at the elitists, they are eager to change the existing system.
They play down the legitimate concerns of losers and spare winners.
With a common outlook, they legitimize their disdain for rival tribes.
They are willing to be more open as long as their jobs are protected.
