The story of Marie Curie is one of extraordinary achievement against all odds. Born in Warsaw, Poland, in 1867, Curie showed remarkable academic talent from a young age. However, as a woman in the 19th century, her educational (21) _____ was far from easy. In her native Poland, women were not allowed to attend university, so she had to attend a secret, underground institution known as the “Floating University.”
In 1891, Curie made the brave decision to leave Poland and move to Paris to continue her studies. She was (22) _____ to succeed despite living in extreme poverty, often fainting from hunger while studying at the Sorbonne. Her sacrifices (23) _____ paid off: she earned degrees in both physics and mathematics, laying the foundation for her future scientific career.
While working in a laboratory in Paris, she met Pierre Curie, a fellow scientist who would become her husband and research partner.

五、閱讀測驗（Reading Comprehension）— 16 題，每題 2 分，共 32 分
說明： 以下共有四篇文章，每篇文章各有 4 個選擇題，請根據文章內容選出最適當的答案。
Passage 1: The Rise of Vertical Farming
As the world’s population continues to grow, traditional agriculture faces increasing challenges. Limited arable land, water shortages, and the environmental impact of long-distance food transportation are all pressing concerns. In response, a revolutionary approach known as vertical farming has emerged as a potential solution to these problems.
Vertical farming involves growing crops in vertically stacked layers, often in controlled indoor environments such as warehouses or skyscrapers. Unlike conventional farming, which relies on soil and natural sunlight, vertical farms use advanced technologies such as hydroponics (growing plants in nutrient-rich water), aeroponics (growing plants in mist), and LED lighting to create optimal growing conditions year-round.
One of the most significant advantages of vertical farming is its efficient use of resources. According to some estimates, vertical farms can use up to 95% less water than traditional farms because water is recycled in a closed-loop system. Furthermore, because crops are grown indoors, there is no need for pesticides or herbicides, making the produce healthier for consumers. The controlled environment also eliminates the risk of crop failure due to extreme weather events, which are becoming increasingly common as a result of climate change.
Another major benefit is the reduction of food miles—the distance food travels from farm to table. Vertical farms can be established in or near cities, bringing fresh produce directly to urban populations. This not only reduces transportation-related carbon emissions but also ensures that consumers have access to fresher, more nutritious food.
However, vertical farming is not without its drawbacks. The initial setup costs are extremely high, as the technology and infrastructure required are expensive. Energy consumption is also a concern, particularly when it comes to powering the LED lights that serve as artificial sunlight. Additionally, currently, only a limited variety of crops—primarily leafy greens and herbs—can be grown profitably in vertical farms. Staple crops like wheat, corn, and rice remain unsuitable for this method due to their size and growth requirements.
Despite these challenges, investment in vertical farming continues to grow rapidly. Companies in the United States, Japan, and Europe are developing increasingly efficient systems, and some experts predict that vertical farming could account for a significant share of global food production within the next few decades. As the technology matures and becomes more affordable, vertical farming may well play a crucial role in feeding the world’s growing population sustainably.
36. What is the main purpose of this passage?
(A) To compare different types of farming technologies (B) To argue that traditional farming should be replaced (C) To introduce vertical farming and discuss its pros and cons (D) To persuade farmers to adopt vertical farming methods
37. According to the passage, which of the following is an advantage of vertical farming?
(A) It requires large amounts of chemical pesticides (B) It can grow all types of crops profitably (C) It uses significantly less water than traditional farming (D) It has very low initial setup costs
38. What does the phrase “food miles” refer to in the fourth paragraph?
(A) The nutritional value of food (B) The distance food travels from production to consumption (C) The cost of transporting food across borders (D) The amount of food produced per square mile
39. Based on the passage, which statement best describes the author’s attitude toward vertical farming?
(A) Completely dismissive and skeptical (B) Cautiously optimistic but aware of its limitations (C) Enthusiastically supportive without reservation (D) Entirely neutral with no personal opinion
Passage 2: The Rosetta Stone
In 1799, during Napoleon Bonaparte’s military campaign in Egypt, a discovery was made that would forever change our understanding of one of the world’s oldest civilizations. Near the town of Rosetta, French soldiers uncovered a large stone slab inscribed with what appeared to be three different versions of the same text. This artifact, now known as the Rosetta Stone, became the key to unlocking the mysteries of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs—a writing system that had puzzled scholars for centuries.
The Rosetta Stone contains a decree issued in 196 BC by a council of Egyptian priests to honor King Ptolemy V. What made the stone so remarkable was that the same message was written in three different scripts: ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs (the formal script used for religious and important documents), Demotic script (a simplified, everyday form of Egyptian writing), and ancient Greek. Since scholars at the time could already read ancient Greek, they had a way to understand the other two scripts—if they could decode them.
The task of deciphering the stone proved enormously challenging. The first major breakthrough came from the British scholar Thomas Young, who realized that some of the hieroglyphs represented phonetic sounds rather than complete words or ideas. Building on Young’s work, a French linguist named Jean-Francois Champollion made the decisive breakthrough in 1822. Champollion, who had an exceptional knowledge of the Coptic language (a descendant of ancient Egyptian), was able to match the hieroglyphs with the Greek text and determine that hieroglyphs combined phonetic, symbolic, and ideographic elements.
Champollion’s decipherment opened the floodgates of Egyptology. For the first time, scholars could read the inscriptions on temple walls, tombs, and papyrus scrolls, gaining direct access to the thoughts, beliefs, and daily lives of the ancient Egyptians. The discovery transformed a silent civilization into one that could speak for itself, revealing thousands of years of history, literature, science, and religion that had been completely inaccessible.
Today, the Rosetta Stone resides in the British Museum in London, where it remains one of the most visited and iconic artifacts in the collection. Its name has also become a metaphor in popular culture for any key that unlocks a hidden meaning or solves a difficult puzzle. The stone serves as a powerful reminder that even the most baffling mysteries can be solved with patience, collaboration, and the right key.
40. Why was the Rosetta Stone so important to scholars?
(A) It was the largest stone ever found in Egypt (B) It provided three versions of the same text in different scripts (C) It was made of a rare type of stone (D) It contained the first map of ancient Egypt
41. According to the passage, who made the decisive breakthrough in deciphering the hieroglyphs?
(A) Napoleon Bonaparte (B) Thomas Young (C) Jean-Francois Champollion (D) King Ptolemy V
42. What does the phrase “opened the floodgates of Egyptology” imply in the fourth paragraph?
(A) It caused flooding in Egyptian archaeological sites (B) It discouraged scholars from studying ancient Egypt (C) It triggered a massive increase in the study of ancient Egypt (D) It proved that Egyptology was not a real science
43. Based on the passage, the name “Rosetta Stone” has become a metaphor for:
(A) An ancient military artifact (B) A key that unlocks hidden meaning or solves a puzzle (C) A type of building material (D) A complicated and unsolvable problem
Passage 3: The Psychology of Procrastination
Do you ever find yourself scrolling through social media when you should be studying? Have you cleaned your entire room just to avoid starting an important assignment? If so, you are not alone. Procrastination—the act of delaying or postponing tasks despite knowing the negative consequences—is a near-universal human experience. Psychologists estimate that approximately 20% of adults identify themselves as chronic procrastinators, while the rate among college students may be as high as 80-95%.
Contrary to popular belief, procrastination is not primarily about laziness or poor time management. Research in behavioral psychology suggests that procrastination is fundamentally an emotional regulation problem. People tend to put off tasks because they want to avoid the negative emotions associated with those tasks—such as anxiety, fear of failure, boredom, or frustration. In the short term, procrastination provides relief from these uncomfortable feelings, which is why it can become such a powerful habit.
The brain’s decision-making processes also contribute to procrastination. When we are faced with a task, two parts of the brain engage in a kind of internal conflict. The limbic system, which is associated with immediate pleasure and reward, wants to do something fun right now. The prefrontal cortex, responsible for long-term planning and self-control, urges us to focus on the task that will benefit us in the future. In procrastinators, the limbic system often wins simply because the prefrontal cortex becomes tired or overwhelmed more easily.
The consequences of chronic procrastination extend far beyond missed deadlines. Studies have linked habitual procrastination to higher levels of stress, poorer academic performance, and even negative health outcomes. One long-term study found that college students who procrastinated also had compromised immune systems and were more susceptible to illnesses. The guilt and shame that accompany procrastination can also contribute to depression and anxiety, creating a vicious cycle that is difficult to break.
So what can be done? Psychologists recommend several evidence-based strategies. One effective technique is “temporal discounting” re-framing, which involves making the future rewards of completing a task feel more immediate. Another is breaking large tasks into small, manageable pieces so that the work feels less intimidating. The “five-minute rule”—committing to work on a task for just five minutes—can also help overcome the initial resistance to getting started. Most importantly, experts emphasize the value of self-compassion: berating yourself for procrastination only adds to the negative emotions that fuel it.
44. According to the passage, what is the primary cause of procrastination?
(A) Laziness and lack of motivation (B) An emotional regulation problem involving avoidance of negative feelings (C) Inadequate time management skills (D) Low intelligence and poor academic ability
45. What does the passage say happens in the brains of procrastinators?
(A) The prefrontal cortex completely shuts down (B) The limbic system and prefrontal cortex are in conflict, with the limbic system often winning (C) Only the limbic system is active during decision-making (D) The prefrontal cortex always overrides the limbic system
46. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a strategy for overcoming procrastination?
(A) Breaking large tasks into smaller pieces (B) Using the “five-minute rule” (C) Taking medication to improve focus (D) Practicing self-compassion
47. What is the “vicious cycle” described in the fourth paragraph?
(A) Students who study too much become sick (B) People who procrastinate feel guilty and ashamed, worsening their mood (C) Successful students always feel stressed (D) Chronic illness causes students to procrastinate
Passage 4: The Importance of Bees
Bees are among the most important living creatures on Earth, yet few people fully appreciate their significance. While most of us associate bees primarily with honey production, their greatest contribution to humanity is actually their role as pollinators. It is estimated that bees and other pollinators are responsible for one out of every three bites of food we eat. Without them, our food system would be radically different—and far less abundant.
The economic value of bee pollination is staggering. In the United States alone, honeybees contribute approximately 200 billion annually.
Unfortunately, bee populations around the world are in serious decline. This phenomenon, known as Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), first gained widespread attention in 2006, when American beekeepers reported losing 30-90% of their hives. Since then, similar declines have been observed in Europe, Asia, and other regions. Scientists believe that multiple factors contribute to this crisis, including pesticide use, habitat loss, climate change, and parasites such as the Varroa mite.
The class of pesticides known as neonicotinoids has drawn particular concern from researchers. These chemicals, which are widely used in agriculture, affect the central nervous system of insects. Studies have shown that even very low levels of exposure can impair a bee’s ability to navigate, forage for food, and reproduce. In 2018, the European Union imposed a near-total ban on neonicotinoids, though they remain widely used in other parts of the world.
Efforts to protect bee populations are now underway across multiple fronts. Some cities have established “bee-friendly” policies that restrict pesticide use in public spaces and encourage the planting of flowers and native vegetation. Individual citizens can also make a difference by planting bee-friendly gardens, reducing pesticide use, and supporting local beekeepers. While the challenges facing bees remain serious, experts believe that coordinated action at the local, national, and international levels can help reverse the decline and ensure that these essential pollinators continue to support our food supply for generations to come.
48. According to the passage, what is the most important contribution of bees?
(A) Producing honey for human consumption (B) Their role as pollinators in the food system (C) Providing wax for candles and cosmetics (D) Serving as a source of inspiration for artists
49. What does the passage say about Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD)?
(A) It was first reported in Europe in the 1990s (B) It affects only a small number of beehives each year (C) It first gained widespread attention in 2006 (D) Scientists have completely solved the mystery behind it
50. According to the passage, how do neonicotinoids affect bees?
(A) They make bees produce less honey (B) They impair bees’ ability to navigate and forage (C) They cause bees to become more aggressive (D) They make bees grow larger than normal
51. Which of the following best describes the overall tone of the passage?
(A) Hopeless and resigned (B) Concerned but solution-oriented (C) Humorous and light-hearted (D) Angry and accusatory

The Sharing Economy: Promise and Peril
The rise of the sharing economy has transformed the way people travel, work, and consume goods and services. Companies such as Airbnb, Uber, and TaskRabbit have created digital platforms that allow individuals to share their homes, cars, skills, and time with strangers in exchange for money. These platforms have been praised for providing flexible income opportunities, reducing waste, and making services more accessible and affordable. However, they have also sparked controversy over labor rights, safety regulation, and the disruption of traditional industries.
Proponents of the sharing economy argue that it empowers individuals by allowing them to become micro-entrepreneurs. A person with a spare room can earn extra income by renting it out on Airbnb, while someone with a car and some free time can make money by driving for Uber. This flexibility is particularly appealing to people who cannot work traditional nine-to-five jobs. Additionally, the sharing economy is often touted as environmentally friendly: by making better use of existing resources, it reduces the need for new production and minimizes waste.
Critics, however, point to the darker side of this economic model. Because workers for sharing-economy platforms are typically classified as independent contractors rather than employees, they do not receive benefits such as health insurance, paid leave, or retirement plans. They also lack the protections that labor laws provide to traditional employees. Moreover, the platforms themselves take a significant cut of every transaction, leading some economists to describe the arrangement as a form of “digital feudalism” in which platform owners reap enormous profits while workers bear all the risks.
The impact of the sharing economy on local communities has also been a source of debate. In many popular tourist destinations, the rapid growth of short-term rentals has driven up housing prices and made it more difficult for local residents to find affordable long-term housing. Some cities have responded by imposing strict regulations on short-term rentals, limiting the number of days a property can be rented out or requiring hosts to register with local authorities.
As the sharing economy continues to evolve, societies face the challenge of balancing innovation with the protection of workers and communities. The outcome of this balancing act will shape the future of work, travel, and consumption for decades to come.
52. Fill in the Blank（填空題，2 分）
According to the passage, workers for sharing-economy platforms are generally classified as _____ rather than employees, which prevents them from receiving benefits such as health insurance or paid leave.

威威老師示範作文（Model Essay）
Pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time, and the two pictures vividly illustrate both the problem and the solution. In the first picture, a once-beautiful beach is covered with plastic bottles, bags, and other waste. A helpless sea turtle is trapped in a discarded fishing net, unable to free itself. The scene is heartbreaking. In the second picture, however, the same beach looks completely different. A group of volunteers has cleaned up all the trash, and the turtle is now swimming freely in the clear blue water.
The impact of ocean pollution on marine life is devastating. Every year, millions of marine animals die from ingesting plastic or becoming entangled in fishing gear. Sea turtles, dolphins, and seabirds are among the most vulnerable. Beyond the direct harm to individual animals, pollution also destroys coral reefs and disrupts entire ecosystems. If this situation continues, many marine species could face extinction.
Fortunately, there are concrete steps we can take to address this crisis. On an individual level, we can reduce our use of single-use plastics, properly dispose of waste, and participate in beach clean-up activities. On a societal level, governments should enforce stricter regulations on waste management and invest in public education about environmental protection. Businesses should also be encouraged to develop eco-friendly packaging alternatives.
In conclusion, the contrast between the two pictures carries a powerful message: the destruction of our environment is not inevitable. With collective effort and determination, we can restore the beauty of our oceans and ensure a safe habitat for marine life. The question is not whether we can make a difference, but whether we are willing to take action before it is too late.

| 題號 | 答案 | 解析 |
|---|---|---|
| 52 | independent contractors | 第三段明確指出共享經濟平台工作者被歸類為 independent contractors，因此無法享有員工福利。 |
| 53 | （開放作答，參考答案） | Two negative effects mentioned in the passage are: (1) Workers are classified as independent contractors instead of employees, so they lack benefits such as health insurance and legal protections. (2) Short-term rentals in the sharing economy have driven up housing prices and made affordable long-term housing difficult to find for local residents. |
| 54 | (C) | (C) 明顯錯誤，因為第三段指出共享經濟工作者「無法享有健康保險」等福利。 |

- 篇章結構：找出「轉折詞」（However、Therefore、In addition…）是關鍵。
- 閱讀測驗：先看題目再看文章，帶著問題閱讀更有效率。
- 翻譯：不要漏譯也不要超譯，忠實傳達原文意思最重要。
- 作文：結構 > 內容 > 詞彙 > 文法，先求結構完整再求細節精緻。
