Philosophers, artists, mystics, and scientists have long debated the nature of color. For more than a thousand
years, India’s astrologers have taught that the sun’s white light is composed of all colors. 18 as the deity Surya,
the sun is the single source of life and ruler of eight other celestial bodies. The bodies each transmit one pure color
to Earth, affecting the destiny of every living creature.
The colors are associated with gemstones: cat’s-eye, hessonite, coral, sapphire, pearl, emerald, yellow
sapphire, diamond, and ruby. Examples are set out above at Jantar Mantar, the 18th-century astronomical
observatory at Jaipur.
In the Western tradition, Aristotle’s belief that all colors are created by mixing black and white 19 the 17th
century. Even Leonardo da Vinci could not decide the question, declaring at different times that there were six
primary colors, or eight. In 1613 Jesuit teacher François d’Aguilon declared that there were three primary colors:
red, yellow, and blue, which, 20 white and black, could be combined to make all colors.
“In the beginning of the year 1666…I procured me a Triangular glass Prisme, to try therewith the Celebrated
Phænemena of Colours,” wrote Sir Isaac Newton in 1672, 21 making public his “New Theory about Light and
Colours.” By intercepting a beam of sunlight with a prism, Newton proved that white light was composed of all
visible colors of the spectrum and could be recombined back into white light. His ideas helped lanuch the era of
modern optics.

Time magazine celebrated the Fourth of July in 1995 with a cover story about the nation’s ethnic diversity and
asked the questions: “Who are we?” and “What do we have in common?” To someone in Hawaii, all these
concerns about ethnic diversity seem like so much fuss. Hawaii has been a multicultural society, a community of
different ethnic groups where no one group is the majority. Back in 1961, the sociologist Lawrence Fuchs came to
Hawaii and wrote “Hawaii Pono.” In it, he concluded: “This is the promise of Hawaii, a promise for the entire
nation, and indeed, the world, that peoples of different races and creeds can live together, enriching each other, in
harmony and democracy.” When the playwright David Henry Hwang spoke at the University of Hawaii about
Hawaii being a model multicultural community for the rest of the country, he raised the obvious question: “What
could others learn?” Governor Waihee said, “In Hawaii, you have something a little different, in which people are
encouraged to be proud of their heritages. There is a pride in that kind of a society that allows you to pick and
choose and enjoy the cultural contributions and uniqueness of different groups.”
26 What does the underlined sentence “To someone in Hawaii, all these concerns about ethnic diversity seem
like so much fuss” mean?
People in Hawaii find that the issue of ethnic diversity is not such a big deal.
People in Hawaii find that the issue of ethnic diversity is annoying.
People in Hawaii find that the issue of ethnic diversity is a joke.
People in Hawaii find that the issue of ethnic diversity is meaningless.
27 According to the passage, who says Hawaii is a model multicultural community?
The editor of Time magazine David Henry Hwang
Lawrence Fuchs Governor Waihee
28 According to this passage, what could people learn from Hawaii?
People should be proud of their heritages.
People should live together without communicating with each other.
People should be segregated.
People should mind their own business.
29 What is the best title for this passage?
Democracy The Harmony of a Multicultural Society
Ethnic Problems Hawaiian Culture

請依下文回答第 30 題至第 32 題
Anxiety disorders have been in the news a lot lately, thanks to the finding that one variety, the extreme fear of
being judged known as social phobia, seems to respond well to drugs. But the real news is how many people
suffer from anxiety in its many forms. According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), nearly one in
seven people has experienced a panic attack or other symptoms in the last year, and by one estimate, 46 million
will meet the National Psychiatric Association’s criteria for an anxiety disorder at some point in their lives. A
certain amount of fretting, of course, is essential for the survival of the species. Anxious people slow down when
the light turns yellow and refuse to let the kids have skateboards and trampolines. But breaking out in a sweat at
the thought of getting into a car, or spending your days in dread of the terrible things that might befall your
child—this does no one any good. What tips the balance from reasonable to off-kilter? Sensing a booming market,
drug companies have made huge investments in research to uncover the answers. One of the most important
findings, says Dr. Ross, is that “for most anxiety disorders, there appears to be a genetic vulnerability.”
30 Which symptom is more likely to be associated with anxiety disorders?
Slowing down when the traffic light turns yellow
Refusing to let kids have trampolines
Sensing a booming market of investment in drug research
Spending days worrying about being hit by cars
31 What does the underlined word “off-kilter” in the passage most likely refer to?
The way people who suffer from anxiety disorders behave
The drug companies that invest money in research of anxiety disorders
The answers to anxiety disorders that doctors are looking for
The action that a booming market takes in response to anxiety disorders
32 According to Dr. Ross, what is one of the most important findings in anxiety disorders research?
People who suffer from anxiety disorders may be born with them.
Drug companies have made huge investments to uncover the answers.
Nearly one in seven people has experienced a panic attack in the last year.
Forty-six million people meet the criteria for an anxiety disorder at some point in their lives.

Sir John Templeton, a financial legend, was a great teacher and investor with a gentle and loving
disposition. 33 His success lay in patiently waiting for prices to reach points of maximum pessimism. Initially,
he led me into global emerging markets by asking me to manage the first Templeton fund. 34 Moreover, he
taught us to open our mind to the world to find the best investment opportunities. More important, he showed us
that to be successful in any endeavor, particularly investing, we need to keep an open mind and be willing to
learn.
His investment career spanned five decades. 35 Though he was famous as a financial-industry legend and
visionary, we knew him as a man of strong principles and wisdom. He was also a loving father to his children and
friend to all who worked with him. 36 Not only did he practice it himself, he also showed us that only through
humility can we achieve great understanding.
33 He pioneered value investing beyond the US shores long before global investing became commonplace.
He also taught me and others how to become investors by pursuing long-term goals and undervalued
securities.
The most important lesson he taught me was to open my eyes to world opportunities.
Most important of all, his greatest lesson was humility.

The art of wine tasting is a complex process, which takes years to fully appreciate. And there is some
guidance to help you bluff your way through it.
37 Look through the wine towards a source of light. Then tilt the glass slightly and look through it towards
a pale background. 38 Clarity is obvious; no good wines have particles floating around in them. But color is
more complex. A deep color indicates a strong wine. The color can also reveal the types of grapes used as well as
the wine’s age. In red wines a blue hue indicates youth, whereas an orange hue indicates age.
Then swirl the wine around and smell it in one inhalation. The agitation will release the wine’s full
bouquet. 39 There are eleven main groups of smells associated with wine, ranging from fruits to plants, herbs,
and spices. 40 Swill it around in your mouth and then draw in some air to bring out the flavor. After doing this,
swallow the wine. A fine wine should leave an aftertaste.
37 Check the color of wine first.
Close your eyes and concentrate: what do you smell?
Wine tasters use a rich vocabulary to describe wine.
Wine can be nervous, elegant, fleshy or round, and taste of vanilla, strawberry, and even cigars.
38 Check the color of wine first.
What you are looking for here is clarity and color.
