How can you command attention with 46 colorful images around the world? Some activists have learned that
they can gain popularity by connecting their movements to a color like yellow, red, blue or green. Recently, French

President Emmanuel Macron struggling to meet their demands.

vests can be seen easily at night and at roadblocks around France. But they also made protesters easy targets for police

四、閱讀測驗【請依照段落上下文意,選出最適當的答案】
第一篇:
High above us, swarms of artificial satellites orbit the Earth to enable global communication, map the planet, check
on the weather, assist in navigation, provide assistance during disasters, and monitor crops and military forces. Building
satellites, rockets, and human piloted spaceships is a big and profitable business.
The former Soviet Union put into orbit Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite, on October 4, 1957. On January 31, 1958,
only a few months after the launch of Sputnik 1, the United States launched its first satellite, Explorer 1. Clearly, the
Soviet Union and America were in the Space Race, an expensive competition for international prestige.
The Space Race was an important aspect of the Cold War. Initially, only America and the former Soviet Union had the
technology and money to launch satellites. After the USA won the Space Race by landing humans on the Moon in July
1969, Russian and American companies, along with others in France, Japan, China, India and Britain, wanted to get into
the growing commercial satellite business.
Satellites are usually placed in orbits anywhere from 300 to 35,000 kilometers above the earth’s surface, and
depending on their weight, they can cost from $10 million to $400 million to launch. The cost to build a satellite can be the
same or more than the launch cost. The largest satellite currently orbiting the Earth is the huge International Space Station,
which was mainly built from large modules launched on the American Space Shuttle.
The European Space Agency (ESA), established in 1975, became the leader in commercial space launches during the
1990s. In 2003, humans first flew on China’s Shenzhou spaceship. During 2004, the privately owned SpaceShipOne made
its first piloted flights into space. Only by one, rich tourists visit the International Space Station. All these new
developments have added new excitement to the satellite business. Many companies are planning privately owned space
stations, and some are even thinking about putting tourists on the enormous natural satellite called the Moon.
【4】51. Which of the following countries form part of ESA?
England, Canada, and Japan England, Argentina, and Russia
England, China, and Australia England, France, and Germany
【1】52. The Space Race was a competition roughly from 1957 to 1969 when __________.
America and the former Soviet Union raced each other to explore space and land humans on the Moon.
America and the former Soviet Union raced each other to Mars and back.
America and the former Soviet Union were trying to send a race of people to space.
America and the former Soviet Union wanted to give each other space.
【2】53. What kinds of companies have the greatest need for satellites?
Car and airplane manufacturing companies
Communication and space tourism companies
Computer companies
Wildlife tour companies
【4】54. After reading the passage, why do you think many countries are interested in satellites?
They want to look for alien invaders from another galaxy.
They want to practice for the colonization of Venus.
They want to make war with their neighbors.
They want to improve their nation’s safety, make money, and gain international prestige.
【3】55. Which of the following is the principal factor affecting the cost of a satellite launch?
It depends on who builds the satellite.
It depends on how much the rocket launcher costs.
It depends on the weight of the satellite.
It depends on how fast it is built.

As social media websites grow, concepts of privacy seem to be changing. Images and information that would never
before have been public are now available at a keystroke. For some people, the free-floating information is harmless. For
others, though, it can be embarrassing, annoying, or even a matter of life and death. Recruiters now regularly perform Internet
searches on job candidates. Cyber stalking has become a real and dangerous problem. While it used to be relatively easy to
turn over a new leaf by moving, now the Internet can prevent anyone from really starting over.
In these cases, there is the option of erasing one’s web presence. Social media sites are often the first step. The website
www.sucidemachine.org offers a simple process that will eliminate your accounts from four social media sites.
Those sites are just the beginning. If you’ve ever written a blog, created a photo account, signed onto a mailing list,
gotten a cell phone, or done another thousand things that end up on the web, you’ll still be searchable. To delete the
information that the Internet holds, first you’ll have to find it. Social aggregator sites like Pipl.com and Spokeo.com list
addresses and phone numbers, as well as other information. This information can be deleted by specific request. Search
engines will often remove you from their results if asked.
However, information can linger in hidden places only to emerge later. To be thorough, some people employ
professionals to do a web deep clean. Reputation.com and removeyourname.com are two companies that specialize in
improving online reputations. Often, this means removing as much information as possible and then burying bad information
that can’ t be removed with new, or good information.
Removing your web presence can be painstaking and expensive. Perhaps the hardest part about cleaning yourself off the
web, however, is staying off it. So much of life is conducted online now; we may never be able to completely private again.
【1】56. What is the main topic of the article?
It’s not easy to disappear from the web.
Who to ask to remove your web presence.
Dangers of wiping the information clean.
People who have successfully removed themselves from the web.
【4】57. Most of the passage __________.
