狼和羊都在河邊喝水，狼責備羊把牠要喝的河水攪渾了。羊說：「你在
上游喝水，我在下游喝水，我不可能把你喝的水攪渾。」狼改口說：「你
去年仿冒了我的簽名。」羊說：「那個時候我還沒有出生。」狼對羊說：
「不論你多會狡辯，我還是要吃了你。」這個寓言說明弱國無外交，國

Diplomacy has been utilized for centuries and continues to be the main way
for states to conduct their international affairs. Towards preventing violent
conflict, states can use diplomacy to undertake mediation, facilitation,
fact-finding, consultations, and monitoring, among other initiatives. Due to
the growing cost of conflict in the 21st century, governments appear to be
becoming less inclined to respond with large-scale military interventions,
thereby in principle at least increasing the space for preventive diplomacy.
三、英文作文（40 分）
Read the following statement by Joseph S. Nye Jr.: “Soft power is the ability
to affect others to obtain the outcomes one wants through attraction rather
than coercion or payment. A country’s soft power rests on its resources of
culture, values, and policies. A smart power strategy combines hard and soft
power resources.”
Then write a well-organized essay of about 350 words to comment on Nye’s
saying.
You are encouraged to give examples to discuss how Taiwan’s soft power
can play a part in the international arena of world politics and diplomacy.

請依下文回答第 8題至第 11 題：
Bottle gourds had already conquered much of the globe before 1492. Yet how they got to the Americas
remained unknown. Researchers discovered via DNA analysis their pre-Columbian samples were more
closely linked to African relatives than to Asian ones. Furthermore, a computer model of Atlantic Ocean
currents confirmed that a bottle gourd traveling from West Africa could make it to North or South America
in nine months. Yet one mystery remains: why wild bottle gourds disappeared in the Americas? Perhaps
some animals that might have spread the seeds went extinct, so did wild bottle gourds.
8 Which statement about the bottle gourds is TRUE?
They were ubiquitous.They traveled from Africa.
They went extinct before 1492.They went tothe Americas with Columbus.
9 How did researchers confirm the origins of the American bottle gourds?
Through artifacts found in the Americas.
Through flight routes between continents.
Through genetic analysisand study of ocean current models.
Throughwritten records of North American Indian tribes.
10 What is yet unknown about the bottle gourds?
Their ancient lineage. Their connection with the ocean.
Their later absence in the Americas. Their strange shape.
11 How did scientists explain the extinction of the bottle gourds?
Their seed carriers disappeared.They evolved into a different species.
The ocean currents changed route.They lost their original habitat.

篇章結構題組，下列各題請依文意從四個選項中選出最合適者，答案選用不能重覆。
If you have been on a roller coaster, you’ll remember the adrenaline rushing through your veins as you
dashed down the track at lightening speed. 12 But, these fairground favorites actually have a long,
colorful history that can be traced back to 15th century Russia.
In some languages, the word “roller coaster” translates as “Russian mountain.” That’s because the first
roller coasters were mountains. 13 Guides would take rides up as high as 24 meters, and then slide
down with them on small sleds. By the 18th century, St. Petersburg had caught on to the trend. Around the
city, the ice slides were lined with colorful lanterns, enabling rides to be taken at night. Next, the pastime
arrived in France, where the roller coaster was adapted to consist of wheeled carriages that traveled over
metal tracks laid on steep wood slopes.
14 In 1895, the first vertical loop was incorporated into “The Flip Flap” in Brooklyn. One
prominent omission, though, was seatbelts. The first Golden Age of roller coasters, having spread to many
countries, came to an end with the Great Depression. 15 Built to the hair-raising dimensions we are
familiar with today, it gave rise to a second generation of gravity-defying amusement rides.
Today, New Jersey’s “Kingda Ka” is the tallest, fastest roller coaster on the planet; it accelerates to 128
mph in just 3.5 seconds! So, don’t go off the tracks: buckle up, and get ready to scream!
12 Roller coasters continued to develop as their popularity grew.
They finally made their comeback in the 1970s, when “The Racer” was erected in Ohio.
In the winter, wooden hills were constructed, fashioned like half-tube slides and packed with ice.
Many people think roller coasters are a recent invention designed to satisfy modern thrillseekers.

請依下文回答第 16 題至第 20 題：
Schizophrenia is a complex, chronic, and severe brain that interferes with a person’s ability to think
clearly, manage emotions, make decisions, and relate to others. Nowadays it affects approximately 1% of all
adults globally. The word schizophrenia comes from the Greek word skhizein meaning “to split” and the
Greek word phren meaning “heart, mind.” The Swiss psychiatrist, Eugen Bleuler (1857-1939), coined the
term Schizophrenie in 1908.
However, schizophrenia does not imply a “split personality” or “multiple personality disorder”—a
condition with which it has been confused in public perception. Experts say schizophrenia is probably many
illnesses masquerading as one. Research indicates that schizophrenia is likely to be the result of faulty
neuronal development in the brain of the fetus, which later in life emerges as a full-blown illness. As of today
there is no physical or laboratory test that can absolutely diagnose schizophrenia. Clinical diagnosis of
schizophrenia is based on a person’s observed behavior and self-reported experiences.
Symptoms of schizophrenia typically come on gradually, beginning in young adulthood and lasting a
long time, and they may vary, depending on the individual. Some may hear voices that are not there. Some
may be convinced that others are reading their minds, controlling how they think, or plotting against them.
This can distress patients severely and persistently, making them demotivated, withdrawn, and frantic. Others
may find it hard to make sense of what the patients are talking about. In some cases, they may spend hours
completely still, without talking. On other occasions they may seem fine, until they start explaining what
they are truly thinking.
The effects of schizophrenia reach far beyond the patient. Families, friends, and society are affected too.
A sizable proportion of people with schizophrenia have to rely on others, for they are unable to hold a job or
care for themselves.
16 Which of the following titles best expresses the main idea of the passage?
Schizophrenia: Lost in the Sea of One’s Multiple Personalities.
Schizophrenia: Affected byFaulty Neuronal Development.
Schizophrenia: Caught Up between Reality and Illusion.
Schizophrenia: Tied Down withFailure to Manage One’s Own Life.
17 According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE about schizophrenia?
Its patients mostly share common symptoms.
It is a special case of split personality disorder.
Its patients mostly can manage their own daily life.
It cannot be objectively diagnosed using medical tests.
18 Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a symptom of schizophrenia?
False beliefs.Hearing voices.
Increasingmemory loss. Reduced social engagement.
19 What does masquerading mean in the second paragraph?
Blowing out.Covering up.Goingunder. Putting off.
20 According to the passage, which of the following do we most likely hear from a schizophrenic patient?
I am afraid that my next-door neighbors are spying on me.
I believe that all my problems come from my imagination.
I would like to go with my husband to friends’ dinner parties.
I think that I need to try harder to make my dreams come true.
