英文考科考試說明
前言
民國 111 學年度起，學科能力測驗英文考科的命題依據為 108 學年度實施之「十二年
國民基本教育課程綱要國民中小學暨普通型高級中等學校語文領域—英語文」（簡稱「英
語文課綱」）。
1
英語文課綱以「核心素養」為課程發展主軸，揭示英語文教育除了培養語
言知識與技能，更應重視語言技能的使用，除了日常溝通外，並藉由英語獲取其他領域的
新知；同時培養邏輯思考、處理訊息及運用創意的能力，以因應未來所需。又，依據「111
學年度起適用之大學多元入學方案」
，學科能力測驗旨在評量考生的基本核心能力，因此，
學測英文將以英語文課綱普通型高級中等學校部定必修課程為測驗範圍。

happen each year. The hair and fur are made into mats and brooms and sent to 24 waters to
absorb the oil.

fortune cookie was based on a Japanese snack, but Hagiwara sweetened the recipe to appeal to
American 39 . He enclosed thank-you notes in the cookies and served them to his guests
with tea. Within a few years, Chinese restaurant owners in San Francisco had copied the recipe

[例 1]
In the Dutch colonial town later known as Albany, New York, there lived a baker, Van
Amsterdam, who was as honest as he could be. He took great care to give his customers exactly
what they paid for—not more and not less.
One Saint Nicholas Day morning, when the baker was just ready for business, the door of
his shop flew open. 31 She asked for a dozen of the baker’s Saint Nicholas cookies. Van
Amsterdam counted out twelve cookies. But the woman insisted that a dozen is thirteen. Van
Amsterdam was not a man to bear foolishness. He refused. The woman turned to go without the
cookies but she stopped at the door, saying, “Van Amsterdam! However honest you may be,
your heart is small and your fist is tight.” Then she was gone.
32 His bread rose too high or not at all. His pies were sour or too sweet. His cookies
were burnt or doughy. His customers soon noticed the difference and slipped away.
A year passed. The baker grew poorer and poorer. Finally, on the day before Saint Nicholas
Day, no customer came to his shop. 33
That night, the baker had a dream. He saw Saint Nicholas pulling out gifts from his baskets
for a crowd of happy children. No matter how many presents Nicholas handed out, there were
always more to give. Then somehow, Saint Nicholas turned into the old woman with the long
black shawl!
34 He suddenly realized that he always gave his customers exactly what they paid for,
“But why not give more?”
The next morning, on Saint Nicholas Day, the baker rose early to make cookies. And to his
surprise, the cookies were as fine as they could be. When he had just finished, the old woman
appeared at his door again. She asked for a dozen of Van Amsterdam’s Saint Nicholas cookies.
35
When people heard he counted thirteen as a dozen, he had more customers than ever and
became wealthy. The practice then spread to other towns as a common custom.
(A) Van Amsterdam awoke with a start.
(B) In walked an old woman wrapped in a long black shawl.
(C) From that day, everything went wrong in Van Amsterdam’s bakery.
(D) In great excitement, Van Amsterdam counted out twelve cookies—and one more.
(E) Staring at his unsold Saint Nicholas cookies, he prayed that Saint Nicholas could help him.

[例 2]
Copernicus, founder of modern astronomy, was born in 1473 to a
well-to-do merchant family in Torun, Poland. He was sent off to attend
university in Italy, studying mathematics and optics, and canon law. Returning
from his studies abroad, Copernicus was appointed to an administrative
position in the cathedral of Frauenburg. There he spent a sheltered and
academic life for the rest of his days.
31 He made his observations from a tower situated on the protective wall around the
cathedral. His observations were made with the “bare eyeball,” so to speak, as a hundred years
were to pass before the invention of the telescope. In 1530, Copernicus completed his famous work
De Revolutionibus, which later played a major role in changing the philosophical view of
humankind’s place in the universe. 32
Copernicus died in 1543 and was never to know what a stir his work would cause. In his book,
he asserted that the Earth rotated on its axis once daily and traveled around the Sun once yearly.
33 People then regarded the Earth as stationary, situated at the center of the universe, with the
Sun and all the planets revolving around it. Copernicus’ theory challenged the long-held belief that
God created the Heavens and the Earth, and could overturn the core values of the Catholi c
world. 34 Other ministers quickly followed suit, saying of Copernicus, “This fool wants to
turn the whole art of astronomy upside down.”

Ironically, Copernicus had dedicated his work to Pope Paul III. 35 The Church
ultimately banned De Revolutionibus, and the book remained on the list of forbidden reading
material for nearly three centuries thereafter.
(A)
The book, however, wasn’t published until two months before his death.
(B) If this act was an attempt to seek the Catholic Church’s approval, it was of no use.
(C) This went against the philosophical and religious beliefs held during medieval times.
(D) Religious leader Martin Luther voiced his opposition to the sun-centered system model.
(E) In his spare time, Copernicus studied the stars and the planets, applying his math
knowledge to the mysteries of the night sky.

[例 1]
Angelfish, often found in the warm seas and coral reefs, are among the most brightly
colored fish of the ocean. Brilliant colors and stripes form amazing patterns on their body. These
patterns actually help the fish to hide from danger among roots and plants. At night, when these
fish become inactive, their colors may become pale. Often, the young ones are differently
colored than the adults. Some scientists believe that the color difference between the young and
the old indicates their different social positions.
Another interesting fact about angelfish is that they have an occupation in the fish world.
Most of them act as cleaners for other fish and pick dead tissue from their bodies. This is not
their food, though. Their diet consists mainly of sponge and algae.
One particular kind of angelfish, the blackspot angelfish, has a special capability that allows
it to change gender from female to male. However, the change is not made at random; it happens
for a specific reason. Angelfish live in groups, and each group has one male fish, which is blue in
color, and four female fish, which are yellow. The male angelfish is the strongest and largest
member of the group. He is the one who protects and looks after the females. When the male dies,
the group needs a new “security guard.” This is when the largest female in the group begins to
change in appearance. She begins to grow larger in size, and after a week, she starts changing
color, from yellow to blue. Slowly, her behavior toward the other fish also changes. She begins
behaving like a male. Two weeks later, black stripes appear on her body, indicating the gender
change is complete. She is now completely male!
41. What is the job of an angelfish in the sea?
(A) Being a cleaner for other fish.
(B) Being a bodyguard for other fish.
(C) Being a gardener for roots and plants.
(D) Being a caretaker for sponge and algae.
42. Which of the following statements is true about the color of angelfish?
(A) Female angelfish are blue in color.
(B) The colors of the fish become less bright at night.
(C) Male angelfish do not have black stripes on them.
(D) The adult fish and the young ones have the same colors.
43. According to the passage, what triggers the gender change in the blackspot angelfish?
(A) Dangers to the group.
(B) Changes in the fish’s diet.
(C) The birth of young angelfish.
(D) The death of the male fish in a group.
44. Which of the following describes the order of changes in the features of a blackspot angelfish
during gender change?
(A) Size
behavior color stripes.
(B) Color
size behavior stripes.
(C) Size
color behavior stripes.
(D) Color
behavior size stripes.

第 36 至 39 題為題組
Born in 1785 in southwestern Germany, Baron Karl Drais was one of the most creative
German inventors of the 19
th
century. The baron’s numerous inventions include, among others,
the earliest typewriter, the meat grinder, a device to record piano music on paper, and two
four-wheeled human-powered vehicles. But it was the running machine, the modern ancestor of
the bicycle, that made him famous.
The running machine, also called Draisine or hobby horse, was in effect a very primitive
bicycle: it had no chains and was propelled by riders pushing off the
ground with their feet. Though not a bike in the modern sense of the
word, Drais’ invention marked the big bang for the bicycle’s
development. It was the first vehicle with two wheels placed in line.
The frame and wheels were made of wood; the steering already
resembled a modern handlebar. Drais’ big democratic idea behind his
invention was to find a muscle-powered replacement for the horses,
which were expensive and consumed lots of food even when not in use. The machine, he
believed, would allow large numbers of people faster movement than walking or riding in a
coach.
Drais undertook his first documented ride on June 12, 1817, covering a distance of 13
kilometers in one hour. A few months later, Drais created a huge sensation when he rode 60
kilometers in four hours. These were later followed by a marketing trip to Paris, where the hobby
horse quickly caught on. The fad also quickly spread to Britain.
The success of the hobby horse was short-lived, though. They were heavy and difficult to
ride. Safety was an issue, too: They lacked a brake, as well as cranks and pedals. There were
frequent collisions with unsuspecting pedestrians, and after a few years Drais’ invention was
banned in many European and American cities. Drais’ ideas, however, did not disappear entirely.
Decades later, the machine was equipped by Frenchmen Pierre Lallement and Pierre Michaux
with pedals to become the modern bicycle.

1 至 4 題為題組
It is an appealing idea that some foods are unhealthy, some healthy, and some super-healthy.
About 61% of British people reported buying foods because they were supposed superfoods,
according to a 2014 survey. But what are superfoods? Are they really so good for our health?
Currently, kale is one of the coolest superfoods around. Kale, a very common vegetable, has
grown in northern Europe, and plenty of other places, for thousands of years. Its nutrition is
similar to that of cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower. Is kale significantly better than other
vegetables? Fans of superfoods like to list the things that kale contains a lot of, such as iron and
vitamins, and point out what those things do (make red blood cells). But that doesn’t mean your
body gets superpowers if you eat more than you need, especially if you’re already getting
enough from other sources. It is like trying to make your car go faster by putting in more petrol.
No good evidence shows that eating plenty of fruit and vegetables with kale is any better than
eating plenty of them without.
Another example is chia seeds. One hundred grams of chia seeds contain about 17g of
Omega-3s, about eight times as much as salmon. However, the Omega-3s in chia seeds are
different from the ones in fish: Our body turns the chia kind into the fish kind very inefficiently,
meaning that you will actually absorb less. Nor is it easy to eat a full 100g of chia seeds, which
contain 486 calories, almost as much as a Big Mac. So fish is definitely a good source of
Omega-3 fatty acids for you, which help to protect against cardiovascular disease. But there is
little evidence to suggest the health benefits from chia seeds.
Indeed, good nutrition helps the body fight against diseases. The truth, however, is that
nutrition is fabulously complex, different for everybody and mostly mysterious. We know that if
you eat a balanced diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables and do regular exercise, you don’t
need any superfood. And if you don’t, no superfood will save you.
提示：根據文章內容及試題指示，回答下列問題。
1. According to the passage, which of the following best describes the author’s attitude towards the
health benefits of superfoods?
(A) Doubtful.
(B) Optimistic.
(C) Objective.
(D) Frustrated.
