According to historians, pandemics typically have two types of endings: the
medical, which occurs when the incidence and death rates plummet, and the
social, when the epidemic of fear about the disease wanes. In other words, an
end can occur not because a disease has been vanquished but because people
grow tired of panic mode and learn to live with a disease. A Harvard historian
said something similar was happening with the current pandemic situation
around the world: “As we have seen in the debate about opening the economy,
many questions about the so-called end are determined not by medical and
public health data but by sociopolitical processes.” Endings “are very, very
messy,” said another historian. “Looking back, we have a weak narrative. For
whom does the epidemic end, and who gets to say?”

A centerpiece of the study of linguistics has been that the words we use are arbitrarily related to the
concepts they refer to. 11 , this is true. If you look across languages, the same object is given very different
names. An object called a bridge in English is un pont in French. Same concept, very different sounds. This
observation is 12 in Shakespeare’s quote, “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” But, word
meanings aren’t completely arbitrary. Recently, there have been some discussions about the “Kiki-Bouba”
effect in which words that lead you to speak with a smiling mouth (like Kiki) feel more natural when they
apply to angled objects than to rounded 13 . In addition, there is a general relationship 14 how often
a word is used (what is called word frequency) and the length of the word. High frequency words ( 15 ,
words that are used often) are typically short (like sit,far, or chew), while low frequency words (that are used
less often) are typically longer (like recline,distant, or masticate).

請依下文回答第16題至第20題：
For over a hundred years, dentists have been repairing cavities by removing the decayed tooth tissue with
a drill and filling the hole with metal or plastic material. Depending on the cavity’s depth, this method can be
unpleasant to downright painful for the patient, and it has to be repeated periodically.
“You’re really in that cycle of repair and replacement for the rest of the tooth’s life,” said Rebecca
Moazzea, senior lecturer at King’s College.
Adamaged tooth’s enamel can be replaced naturally, but the process is too slow to stop the work of bacteria
that build up in tiny cracks. Now, a British company called Reminova has developed a method for speeding up
this natural remineralization of early-stage cavities.
“We’ve just found a way to make that a much faster process,” said Jeff Wright, Reminova’s chief executive
officer. “Driving healthy calcium and phosphate minerals into your enamel, and through a natural process, it
will bind on and add to the enamel that’s there.”
Here’s how it works: After cleaning the early-stage cavity with a method that does not require drilling, the
dentist covers it with a mineral solution and applies an electrical current that is too weak for the patient to feel.
The deposited mineral quickly hardens, completely filling the cavity.
Researchers say this method could be especially useful for children.
“If children have a better experience of going to the dentist, so they haven’t had necessary drilling and
injections for routine fillings, then they’ll be much more positive in later life and probably become much more
regular patients,” said Dr. Barry Quinn, a consultant at King’s College.
Dentists point out that the new method is most efficient on early-stage cavities, which makes regular dental
checkups essential. The whole treatment lasts about as long as a regular drill-and-fill procedure.
Researchers say they are confident that the new method can be further developed for treating later-stage
cavities. And they remind us that regular brushing with fluoride toothpaste helps prevent cavities in the first
place.
16 Which of the following is the best title of the news article?
A New Technique May Eliminate Drill-and-Fill Dental Care
Reminova Offers New Hope for the Dental Industry
CEO of Reminova Predicts Fewer Dentists Needed
Children Need Not Visit the DentistAny More
17 Why is the new treatment most useful to children?
It will develop a more positive attitude toward dental care among children.
The new treatment is less expensive with children.
It takes much less time in treating child patients.
The new treatment is less effective with adult patients.
18 What is the core technique of the new dental care method?
It uses a special kind of plastic in filling the cavity which protects the tooth more effectively.
It provides better protection of the tooth by accelerating the natural remineralization process.
It uses a special chemical which can grow the bacteria in the cavity.
It uses an artificial enamel to replace the infected enamel in the cavity.

19 Which of the following is NOT true about the new cavity treatment method?
The new method is probably developed in the United Kingdom.
The new method is more effective with patients who regularly check their dental conditions.
The new technique requires about the same treatment time as the traditional one.
The electrical current applied in the treatment can sharpen the pain of the patient.
20 How often does the traditional drill-and-fill technique have to be performed in treating cavities?
Once for all.
Six times throughout the patient’s childhood.
Twelve times throughout the patient’s life.
Many times throughout the tooth’s life.
請依下文回答第 21 題至第 25 題：
With billions of data points being generated every day, some companies don’t know what to do with big
data, and that’s understandable. It’s difficult to manage all of it, but it’s impossible to ignore it. This obvious
opportunity leaves a large percentage of executives concerned that their information isn’t correctly
represented and entrepreneurs struggling to find a way forward.
But big data is worth the struggle. It can help business owners understand how their business functions
and how it serves their customers. It can help companies reveal new opportunities, dig up unknown problems
and even make more money. It is an asset to any company that takes the time to position it in the right way,
but it’s up to each company to take the initiative to do so. The first step is to consider big data within the
context of the customer. What kind of interaction does the customer have with the company and how can those
individual touch points be used to paint a complete picture? Then, the business needs to figure out creative
ways to use that information.
Data assets might look different in each industry, but the real value of the data lies not in its type but in
whether it can help you increase your value or retain customers. According to Jeff Tanner, professor of
marketing at Baylor University, the information you get from your customers empowers you to deliver better
value over time and create more opportunities for your business. While it may be possible to assign a cash
value to big data, those numbers aren’t likely to make it onto the balance sheet. The data’s real value is revealed
when it’s positioned in the context of the following three questions: 1) How will it make the business more
predictable? 2) How will it help replicate success for the future? 3) How will it enhance customer engagement?
21 According to the passage, what should be the first consideration in using big data?
Internet security within the company Employee promotion in the company
Business management for the company Customers’interaction with the company
22 According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a benefit of big data?
Creating revenues Revealing problems
Deciding job positions Understanding customer services
23 According to the passage, who should be most concerned with the new development in big data?
Customers Store clerks
Business owners Government officials
24 What will the author most likely talk about in the following section of the passage?
Online marketing strategies which solve financial problems
Protecting the company’s valuable data from hackers’ attacks
Evaluating employee performances using the endless data points
Using early-indicator data to help a company to reach wider customers
25 What is the passage mainly about?
How to sell big data to advertising companies
How to use a company’s endless stream of data
How to protect customer privacy in Internet-based businesses
How to generate more ideas to paint a complete picture of a company
