第一篇:
Sun Moon Lake is the largest lake in Taiwan, and is comprised of the diamond-shaped Sun Lake and curved
Moon Lake. The Thao people call it “zintun” which may have been the earliest name 31 to Sun Moon Lake. The
earliest 32 of the name “Sun Moon Lake” was in the article, “Travels to Shueilishe”, written by Deng Chuan-an
in 1821, which said, “I have no idea 33 the water comes from. It is about 10 li (half a kilometer) in length, and a
third of that in width. The water is red and green, so it is named Sun Moon Lake.” After the Han people came to
reclaim the Shuishalian land, Sun Moon Lake was given more names, 34 Shuishe Large Lake, Shuili Lake,
Shuilishe Lake, Shuishehaizih, Bamboo Lake, and Dragon Lake and so on. In the late Cing Dynasty, the western
missionaries came to Sun Moon Lake to share their 35 with the Thao people. They named Sun Moon Lake
“Dragon Lake”, “Lake Candidius”, and “Nin-Isivatan Lake”.

第二篇:
Companies around the world are fervently vying for first place in the race to vehicular autonomy, and now it looks
like one venture has crossed the finish line. A self-driving taxi has successfully taken passengers through the busy
streets of Tokyo in a 36 of what could be a fully-fledged service by the time the Olympic Games arrive in the
city in 2020.
Tokyo-based autonomous driving tech company ZMP, in 37 with cab firm Hinomaru Kotsu, say they’re the first
in the world to offer autonomous taxi services to fare-paying passengers. The trial, which is ongoing, sees a sensor-equipped
minivan make four round-trips a day between Tokyo’s districts. Passengers unlock the taxi door and make 38 through
a smartphone app, and while a driver and assistant are on board during the tests for 39 purposes, the trial has so far
gone off without a 40 . Japan’s streets are no strangers to self-driving taxis, though. Nissan began testing its
autonomous cab service back in March, with similar aspirations to having a full service in place come the Olympics.
ZMP’s initiative follows recent news that Toyota plans to invest $500 million into Uber’s self-driving efforts.
Uber’s autonomous driving venture suffered a major setback earlier when one of its self-driving vans killed a
pedestrian during a trial in Arizona. But despite general concerns surrounding the safety of autonomous cars, people in
Tokyo have been largely enthusiastic about the taxi venture, with 1,500 people signing up to take part in the trials.

四、閱讀測驗【請在下列各題中選出最適當的答案】
第一篇:
Only two whaling companies remain in Iceland. It’s a small industry that conservationists say is inhumane, has
minimal economic benefits, and defies the international ban on killing whales. But the Icelandic government
announced it will allow up to 2,000 whales to be killed in the next five years.
A Ministry of Fisheries and Agriculture statement said a maximum of 209 fin whales and 217 minke whales can
be killed each year between 2018 and 2025.Iceland’s Fisheries Minister said the new whale quotas are sustainable and
based on research from the nation’s Marine Research Institute and the University of Iceland.
But activists and conservationists disagree. The Icelandic Environmental Association criticized the research on
which the Fisheries Ministry based its quotas. And Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC), an organization aimed at
protecting whales around the world, said whaling is no longer beneficial to Iceland’s economy and lacks public
support.
A report from the University of Iceland said whale watching contributed $13.4 million to the economy, while the
whale hunting company Hval hf. Contributed $8.4 million. According to the report, more people are employed in
whale watching than in whaling, but wages are higher in whale hunting. WDC argues that instead of relying upon its
own science, Iceland needs to listen to worldwide calls to stop whaling.
【2】41. What is the policy of Iceland government on whale hunting?
Stop whale hunting because it’s no longer economical.
Allow more whale killings for the years to come.
Meet the demands of conservation groups.
Entrust universities to do more scientific researches.
【1】42. How many whaling companies are there in Iceland?
Two. More than 20. 209. Five.
【4】43. Which is true about whale watching and whale hunting in Iceland?
Whale watching lacks popular support.
Whale hunting contributed $13.4 million to the economy.
Wages for whale watching are higher.
More people are hired in whale watching than in whaling.
【3】44. What did the Ministry of Fisheries and Agriculture statement say?
Whaling is inhumane.
The new whaling quotas are based on WDC researches.
A maximum of 209 fin whales can be killed each year.
New whaling quotas are not sustainable.
【1】45. What is the stance of the activists and conservationists?
Iceland needs to listen to worldwide calls to stop whaling.
Wages are higher in whale hunting than whale watching.
Whaling is still beneficial to Iceland’s economy.
Killing whales is legal and beneficial to Iceland’s economy.
第二篇:
Our world is changing quickly. We cannot expect the material we learn in a professional discipline to remain
relevant for the rest of our career. Just look at the hi-tech industry: most of the technical skills needed today were not
part of engineering school curriculums a few years ago. Technology and artificial intelligence are also rapidly making
certain routine human enterprises obsolete. A successful university education must therefore provide students with
fundamental skills and help them learn on their own and adapt to evolving circumstances.
What are these fundamentals? Language skills, including comprehension, expression and communication, will
always be needed. Quantitative skills, such as the ability to analyze a problem, see hidden patterns, identify relevant
variables and formulate solutions, are crucial to many jobs in society.
In the past, we emphasized computational techniques and demanded that our students calculate answers quickly
and accurately. But such technical tasks are being taken over by machines. Many traditional science courses require
students to memorize chemical structures, chemical pathways or names of organisms. If we need such information, we
search the internet and find the answers within seconds.
A good university education should train a student as a person, to broaden their mind and horizons, to allow them
to see the relationships of apparently disparate phenomena, to acquire knowledge independently and to develop the
confidence to challenge authority. These are the qualities that will make them leaders of the future. Such training
requires a very different set-up from the current discipline-specific, narrowly focused subject learning that was popular
in the old days.
【3】46. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
The down side of the hi-tech industry
Why future leaders are hard to find
The purpose of a university education
How machines are taking over our education
【1】47. In paragraph 1, why does the author mention the hi-tech industry?
To illustrate the point that what we learn in school might not be useful after a few years
To show how the hi-tech industry is developing rapidly
To emphasize the importance of accurate calculation and computer skills
To contrast with the old idea that a university education is only useful for a small number of people
【2】48. Which of the following is NOT a fundamental skill?
The ability to think critically and reason logically
The ability to memorize the elements in the periodic table
The ability to interact and communicate effectively with others
The ability to work out solutions to real life problems
【4】49. Which of the following statements will the author most likely agree with?
Out future leaders will probably be robots.
Entering the hi-tech industry should be the goal of university graduates.
Professors should be required to promote school policies in class.
Students should not be trained only to do what the machines can do in seconds.
【2】50. What will the paragraph following the passage most likely discuss?
Why the old ideas about university education have failed
What universities can do to help students acquire the fundamental skills
How artificial intelligence has made lots of jobs obsolete
Who can benefit the most from having good language skills
