The man who opened fire on two New Zealand mosques on March 15, 2019 may have succeeded in killing 50
people, but the country's leader has promised to deny him the one thing he truly wanted: Notoriety. "You will never
hear me 46 his name," Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern told the New Zealand Parliament. "He is a terrorist, he is
a criminal, he is an extremist, but he will, when I speak, be 47 , and to others I implore you: Speak the names of
those who were lost rather than the name of the man who took them. He may 48 notoriety but we in New
Zealand will give him nothing—not even his name."
It has been Ardern’s face—and not that of the suspected shooter—that has come to 49 media coverage. As
the suspect—thanks in part to a ban on publishing certain details about him—has been forced 50 the
background, facing punishment but denied the fame he desired. Politicians and world leaders condemned the attacks,
and Prime Minister Ardern described the attacks as "one of New Zealand's darkest days."

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:
Imagine the typical work situation of the past. A traditional woman’s workplace was the home. Her occupation
was a combination of housekeeper, cook, driver, babysitter, teacher and gardener. A man’s workplace was probably in
a factory or an office. Factory workers, like other blue-collar workers, probably used machinery, but some amount of
the work was manual. Office workers, like other white-collar workers, didn’t work with machines or their hands.
Instead, they dealt with ideas, numbers and people. Most of them had secretaries who typed, filed papers, and
answered phones.
Technology has already caused changes in these traditional work situations, but we will see more changes in the
future. The increasing use of robots—machines that do the jobs of human beings—will mean fewer jobs for
blue-collar workers, who in the future will not need much education or skill, but their pay will be low.
The use of computers will continue to create enormous changes for white-collar workers. In offices, as in
factories, there will be a need for fewer people, but those people will need more skills. Secretaries, for instances, will
need to be able to use word processing and other computer packages. In addition, many office workers will be free to
work in several locations—e.g., the office and the home. This will be possible because of computer
networks—groups of connected computers. Today most men and over half of all women leave the house each day to
go to work, but in the future both men and women may choose to stay home with a computer and still be able to
receive a paycheck.
Experts predict that shopping habits may greatly change in the future. Some people are shopping less and less in
stores and more and more with computers or mobile phones. Some consumers now order airline tickets, computer
products, food, clothes and groceries, to name a few, online. These items arrive soon in the mail at their homes or
workplaces.
【4】51. According to the passage, the occupation of traditional women is working as a ______.
secretary white-collar worker blue-collar worker housewife
【3】52. According to the passage, most work blue-collar workers do is ______.
to work with ideas to deal with people to work with machines to do mainly manual work
【2】53. ____________ in the future.
Chances for white-collars will be fewer Robots will do more and more work
There will be more employment Blue collars will have more work opportunities
【1】54. In the future, white-collar workers will __________.
be more flexible when choosing their work places
need more management abilities
work freely at several places at the same time
face greater challenge from the blue-collar workers
【4】55. What are the changes happening to the shopping way of people nowadays?
People spend less and less money in shopping.
Most of what people buy has to be with bargains.
Most people adopt mail as a way of shopping.
People begin to do their shopping via computers and smartphones.
第二篇:
A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about the culture than is possible to learn in general
history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics and war. But art history focuses on
much more than this because art also reflects religious beliefs, emotions and psychology. In addition, information
about the daily activities of our ancestors—or of people very different from our own—can be provided by art. In
short, a study of art clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history books.
History books usually present objective information about the political life of a country, but opinions are
implicit. Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco
Goya was perhaps the first “political” artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May, 1808, he depicted soldiers
shooting a group of simple people. This depiction of faceless soldiers and their victims has become a symbol of the
enormous power—and the misuse of this power—that a government can have over its people. Over a hundred years
later, the symbolic images in Pablo Picasso’s Guernica express the horror of war. In summary, a personal and
emotional view of history can be presented through art.
For centuries in Europe, religious art was almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious
buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Although most people were
illiterate, they could still understand biblical stories in the pictures on church walls. By contrast, one of the main
characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the
Islamic belief (from the Koran) that statues are unholy. By Islamic law, artists are not allowed to copy human or
animal figures except on small items for daily use (e.g. rugs and bowls). Thus, on palaces, mosques, and other
buildings, Islamic artists have created unique decoration of great beauty with images of flowers and geometric forms.
They have also shown great creativity and discipline in their use of Arabic writing as an art form.
【2】56. In the beginning of the passage, the author suggests that ____________.
art tells more than general history class about war
art shows personal perspectives about human activities
history classes tend to teach subjective opinions
it is more useful to learn art than to learn history
【1】57. In history books we can find ____________.
facts about politics and war
political values of people
information of politics and author’s comment
information of economics and the prediction of its development
【3】58. Which of the following can NOT be found in art?
Opinion of the author himself
Religious belief and psychology of people
Objective information of the politics
Information about daily activities of our forefather
【4】59. What does the author mean by calling Goya the first “political” artist?
He was the first artist who served politics.
He was the first artist who understood the true meaning of war.
He was the first artist who were interested in politics.
He was the first artist who showed true aspects of politics.
【1】60. By Islamic law, ____________.
no human and animal should be included in the painting except on some small-items
artists are only allowed to take flower and geometric forms
artists should show great creativity in a unique art form
human and animal can only be pictured on palaces and mosques
