一、英譯中：（15 分）
Representations of the relationship between European colonizers and
aboriginal peoples have long been much shaped by theoretical discourses from
various historical perspectives. The disciplines we know as history,
anthropology and archaeology largely emerged in the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries in the context of the encounter between Europe and other
peoples. These disciplines insisted upon a particular understanding of human
history. This was conceived as the reason for the fundamental differences
Europeans perceived between themselves and other peoples. The former
constructed their culture as symbolizing modern and civilized by imagining
the culture of aboriginal peoples as representing the ancient and backward.
That is, they claimed that cultures could be divided into different periods
of human history. Instead of regarding others as peoples who were
contemporaneous with themselves, Europeans claimed that they were from the
barbarous age. According to this historical theory, there was a natural course
of history beginning with the barbarian state, which was aboriginal, and
progressing towards modern civilization, which was Europe’s present. In this
theory, peoples such as aborigines were always associated with a lack or
deficit.

Write an essay of no more than 350 words to comment on the passage below.
Support your position and discourse with reasoning and/or examples from
readings, studies, experience, or observations.
Many human rights professionals are reluctant to call their work
diplomacy, and find “human rights diplomacy” an uncomfortable oxymoron
that links two fundamentally different areas of human endeavour. The roots of
the discomfort run deep. Diplomacy is traditionally understood as the cool-
headed pursuit of national interests, where principles and morality can, and in
some cases should, be left aside or compromised, a dispassionate exercise of
realpolitik at the international level. Meanwhile, human rights work has
always been about ideals and values, driven by passion and indignation over
injustice. In recent decades, however, there has been a convergence of the
two disparate areas of work.

Otters are carnivorous mustelids in the Lutrinae subfamily. There are 13 11 species of otters around
the world, one of which is native to the UK. But now let’s focus on two species in other areas. One is the
Eurasian otter. This species is the most widely distributed of all the otters, 12 through Eurasia up
to the Arctic Circle, from Ireland to Kamchatka, and south to North Africa, Sri Lanka and Indonesia. Their
varied and 13 diets mean they may inhabit any unpolluted body of fresh water, including lakes, streams,
rivers, and ponds, as long as there are adequate food supplies. The other is the Sea otter. It is found most often
in areas with protection from the most severe ocean winds, such as rocky coastlines, thick kelp forests, and
barrier reefs. Sea otters are native to the coasts of the northern and eastern North Pacific Ocean. Currently
stable 14 exist in parts of the Russian east coast, Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, and California,
with reports of recolonisations in Mexico and Japan. 15 they typically forage alone, sea otters tend to
rest together and link arms in single-sex groups called rafts. Araft typically contains 10 to 100 animals, but the
largest raft ever seen contained over 2000 sea otters.

請依下文回答第 16 題至第 20 題：
I kept coming across “the vagus nerve” in relation to deep breathing and mental calmness: in the new
book Yang Sheng: The Art of Chinese Self-Healing, a Harvard Health blog post, and many other recent
publications. It sounded as if we had something like a secret piano key, under our skin, to press internally to
calm us down.
In reality, the vagus nerve is not a single inner cord, stretching from the head to the stomach; it is a
squiggly, shaggy, branching nerve connecting most of the major organs between the brain and colon, like a
system of roots or cables. It is the longest nerve in the body, and technically it comes as a pair of two vagus
nerves, one for the right side of the body and one for the left. It’s called “vagus” because it wanders, like a
vagrant, among the organs. The vagus nerve has been described as “largely responsible for the mind-body
connection,” for its role as a mediator between thinking and feeling, and I’m tempted to think of it as something
like a physical manifestation of the soul.
“Stimulating the vagus nerve to the heart has a really powerful effect on slowing the heart rate,” said Lucy
Norcliffe-Kaufmann, associate professor of neurology at NYU-Langone. And this, specifically, is what relaxes
us. The vagus nerve is basically listening to the way we breathe, and it sends the brain and the heart whatever
message our breath indicates. Breathing slowly, for instance, reduces the oxygen demands of the heart muscle,
and our heart rate drops.
I was surprised by the idea that it’s specifically the exhale that triggers the relaxation response, but
Norcliffe-Kaufmann confirmed: “Vagal activity is highest, and heart rate lowest, when you’re exhaling.” She
mentioned that the ideal, most calming way to breathe is six times a minute: five seconds in, five seconds out.
She also noted that in the study that determined this rate, researchers found that this style of slow breathing is
also what practitioners naturally lapse into during meditation with mantras, and during the Ave Maria prayer
with rosaries. “Each time you do either the rosary prayer or a meditation mantra,” Norcliffe-Kaufmann said,
“it naturally synchronizes your breathing at six times per minute.” Some other practices believed to improve
vagal tone include laughing, singing, humming, yoga, acupuncture, and splashing the face with cold water —
or having a full-body cold rinse.
“If you’re in a stressful situation,” Norcliffe-Kaufmann said, “and when you’re like, How do I respond,
how do I respond? — Just consciously slow down your breathing for one minute, or even a few seconds, you
can put yourself in a calmer state, and be able to better communicate.”
16 What is the tone of this passage?
Indifferent. Encouraging. Sarcastic. Accusing.
17 According to the author, which of the following could induce the most calming way to breathe?
Playing piano. Planting roses. Meditating. Digesting.
18 Based on the study discussed in the passage, what specifically causes the relaxation response?
The happy mood. The heart rate. The exercise. The exhale.
19 Which of the following could be a possible source of this passage?
A health magazine. A political journal.
An economic report. A travel brochure.
20 According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
The vagus nerve is a single inner cord, stretching from the head to the stomach.
Stimulating the vagus nerve to the heart has a really powerful effect on raising the heart rate.
Breathing slowly reduces the oxygen demands of the heart muscle, and our heart rate drops.
The vagus nerve contributes little to the mind-body connection.
