take on quite different meanings in diverse ideological systems.

請回答下列第26題至第30題
The mass media are a powerful influence on most people. News media and journalism outlets influence
public opinion and democracy itself so their reach and power is not to be 26 lightly. The press has
responsibilities to the public interest. Good journalism is good for democracy, but unfortunately the most
popular news feeds in most Western countries have 27 poor-quality sensationalism, which is affecting
democracy and undermining society. The worst culprit of the last few decades has been the Murdoch empire’s
outputs, complete 28 secret political deals that have made and broken entire governments. One of the
UK government’s former chief scientific advisers, Sir David King, pointed out that “the threat of terrorism is
likely to be far less significant than climate change” but that climate change is too complicated and doesn’t sell
well, 29 terrorism “fits the requirements of our news culture perfectly.” The result is a populace that
don’t understand the risks facing them. Sensationalism, drama, 30 argumentation and a concentration on
frivolity make it hard to appreciate the complexities of the world. The effect is not merely to mislead its readers
about the state of the world but to distort the whole political process.

請回答下列第31題至第35題
TheCanadian government is hopingto use artificial intelligence (AI) to inform how it mounts legal challenges
to immigration and refugee claims as part of a new pilot program. Ottawa plans on using the emerging technology
to reduce government lawyers’need to perform their own legal research, a costlyand time-consuming process. But
there are already concerns that the nuanced and difficult nature of many refugee and immigration claims may be
lost on those government computer systems, leading to massive human-rights implications. And the government
admits that it hopes to useAI and machine learning, eventually, to help determine refugee applications themselves.
The plan is all laid out in a request for information submitted to industry.
The request for information asks industry to submit their own technological solutions for a joint pilot
project, run by Citizenship and Immigration Canada and Justice Canada, to “support case law and legal
research, facilitate trend analysis in litigation, predict litigation outcomes, and help develop legal advice and
assessments,” according to a government spokesperson. The government hopes that, if the pilot is a success,
front-line immigration officials in Canada and abroad could use this technology “to aid in their assessment of
the merits of an application before decisions are finalized.”
Lex Gill, a research fellow who specializes in AI and public policy, said replacing human work with
algorithms, especially if the data that goes into them is itself flawed, will always pose potential human-rights
concerns. “There is the risk that instead of improving the situation, these technologies may just entrench or
encourage unfair or discriminatory practices,” she said. But while the debate around those risks continues,
Ottawa is already getting set to roll out the pilot project.
31 Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
Government Computer Systems Related to Human-Rights Implications.
Government Looking to AI in Addressing Issues with Immigration.
Possible Legal Challenges to Immigration and Refugee Claims in Ottawa.
The Use of AI to Entrench Discriminatory Legal Practices in Canada.
32 Accordingtothepassage,what maybethereasonfor theCanadiangovernmenttousetheemergingtechnology?
It may aid industry to submit their own technological solutions for immigration.
It may lead to massive human-rights implications in government computer systems.
It may reduce the need to perform costly and time-consuming legal research.
It may replace human work with algorithms and pose potential human-rights concerns.

請回答下列第36題至第40題
One of the most fashionable ideas in business is that companies should earn their crust from subscribers,
who are “locked in” for a period of time, rather than from customers who can easily switch to another provider
at any time. Subscription models are seen by many investors and executives as the holy grail, because they
promise a recurring stream of revenue. But the approach suffers from three underappreaciated problems.
Acquiring subscribers can be eye-wateringly expensive. Their urge to run away is often only temporarily
suppressed. And consumers may have more than one relationship at a time.
The best-known subscription model is probably Amazon Prime. It has about 80m members in America
alone and for $99 a year offers film and music, speedy delivery of goods and even discounts on goods such
as baby food. There are many other examples. Netflix offers a wall of TV for a monthly fee. And more are
coming. Venture-capital firms are pouring money into subscription-based home-delivery firms that bring
to your doorstep meals, pills or even fresh underpants. Zuora, a software firm, talks of the rise of the
“subscription economy.”
Several star firms floating their shares this year have subscription models. Dropbox, a cloud-storage firm,
listed on NASDAQ on March 23rd and is worth $13bn. It boasts 500m registered users and wants to convert
them into “paying users,” of whom there are already 11m, who get a superior service. Spotify, a music
streaming firm that listed on April 3rd, has 159m users but derives its $27bn valuation from 71m “premium
subscribers” who pay to listen without adverts. On average each generates 13 times more sales and 27 times
more gross profit than users who pay no fee.
36 What is the main message of this passage?
More companies are now changing to subscription approach to make profits.
Amazon Prime is a good example to illustrate the new subscription addiction.
Dropbox and many other star firms are floating their shares.
More home-delivery companies are offering new programs to get more “paying users.”
37 Which of the following phrases can best replace “the holy grail” in the passage?
the emperor’s new clothes the religious fountain
the ultimate solution the way home
38 Which of the following is NOT a problem for companies that adopt subscription models?
The high cost to find subscribers.
Most subscribers liable to be from the high-income family.
The subscribers incapable of controlling their desire to change their providers.
Subscribers prone to make purchases with several firms at the same time.
39 According to this article, what is NOT included in Amazon Prime’s $99-program?
Discounts on food Films
Speedy delivery of goods No adverts for music
40 According to the passage, which of the following firms has had ten times more sales from their paying
users than users who pay no fee?
Amazon Prime Zuora Netflix Dropbox
