Since 1935, the board game Monopoly has been a popular choice to bring fun to social gatherings.
However, the game itself did not merely serve the purpose of entertaining guests or friends. 11. , most
people will be surprised to learn that it played a crucial role in helping prisoners escape in World War Ⅱ.
In the beginning, Germany and her various charity organizations were permitted to 12. board
games to war prisoners. After all, it was assumed by the Nazis that playing the games would help distract
those captives, hence 13. the possibility of a prison break. Spotting a chance for a brilliant escape
plan, MI9, a branch of British intelligence agency, worked closely with the manufacturer of Monopoly
and local charities. 14. , they stuffed the game sets with survival tools such as the silk map of several
European countries, miniature compasses, real banknotes, ropes and knives, and had them 15. into

Japanese have a special way to celebrate imperfections in life. “Kintsugi” is a tradition of mending

artists start at the edges of a breakage to “glue” the broken pieces together. In fact, so popular has
kintsugi become that it is not 17. to see artisans break ceramics on purpose, only to decorate the
broken pieces with powdered gold to highlight the breakages.
18. hiding cracks or breakages, kintsugi serves to bring attention to imperfections of a piece of
artwork. As a philosophy, it is interpreted as a way to remind people of human fragility and vulnerability,
and to 19. past mistakes or missteps as an accepted part of life. Our failures and flaws make us
mature and mellow, 20. the gold seams or repairs boost the aesthetic and financial value of art.
Maybe we can all learn from this distinctive way of viewing imperfections, whether in art or in life.

22. For those having bad reactions to milk yet still craving for the taste of it, they may have a
sound reason to celebrate. A team in Israel has been committed to developing a kind of milk made
from yeast, which looks, smells and tastes quite similar to regular milk but will not cause
discomfort to people with lactose intolerance.
Dr. Tuller from Tel Aviv University has been driven by the public’s growing awareness of the
environmental impact of the dairy industry to launch their experimental project. ○
１ . In fact,
methane is a much more powerful greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. Raising healthy cows is also
impossible without feeding them with plenty of proteins, the production of which is yet another
significant contributor to global warming. ○２ . Still another equally strong motivator behind
Dr. Tuller’s work is the often-reported inhumane or cruel practices at animal ranches far and wide.
○３ . Also, to boost production, cows are often injected with growth hormones that leave the
animals with greater pains and physical suffering.

production of vaccines or antibodies for the past decade, they are now well on their way to
producing a cow-milk substitute. ○
４ . Hopefully, this technology can come to fruition in the
near future, and can be employed in the production of other dairy products as well.
(A) Farm animals are force-fed in crowded and poorly maintained spaces that often go unnoticed
by the authorities.
(B) Both afore-mentioned concerns make for sound reasons to seek a more environmentally-friendly
alternative to regular dairy products.
(C) That is, dairy cows consume green pastures and emit methane as they digest, not to mention
using up a huge amount of valuable water supply.
(D) They aim to take a gene from a living organism to plant it in another organism to make it a
“factory” producing the target protein or milk affordably.

第23.至26.題為題組
While sites of tragedy may not be our preferred tourist attractions, dark tourism does appeal to an
increasing number of travelers with a different agenda in mind. Featuring visits to places associated
with human suffering and misery, dark tourism answers travelers’ desire to feel a similar thrill to going
skydiving or bungee jumping. Well-established locations such as Auschwitz, Ground Zero and Chernobyl
have registered record number visitors, and so have sites of regular pain and death, such as the Ganges
River in India and Nepal, where tourists pay to snap photos of local funerals with all the gruesome details.
Despite its popularity, dark tourism does beg the question of whether it is education or exploitation.
Ethical issues arise when such sites are reduced to nothing more than tourist attractions. For some,
dark tourism profits from death, and seldom benefits the victims of a disaster or tragedy or their family.
Some tourists probably don’t have the faintest idea of the political, historical, or religious context and
hence fail to act maturely or responsibly.
However, I would argue that such places still deserve our attention and a spot on our itinerary.
Yet, our attitude of respect is everything. We shouldn’t simply rush through those spots, but immerse
ourselves in the narratives of the victims, whose stories must be told and remembered for generations
to come. Visiting those sites of tragedy can be a real-life history lesson and a humbling experience,
exposing us to an experience that would otherwise be unimaginable in our sheltered lives. The tours
will bring attention to the causes of man-made disasters, which hopefully will keep us from falling
into the same traps. It helps visitors stay grounded, put the history into perspective, and avoid foolish
mistakes. As one philosopher put it, . Dark tourism does serve more than just economic purposes
but educational and historical ones.

To lower stress levels, enhance cognitive function, or to improve general health, forgiving can be
just as effective or essential as following a balanced diet and sticking to regular workout. The act itself
is quite impactful, helping both forgivers and transgressors come to terms with what has happened.
Forgiving is not a cultural-specific notion, as there is no religion but encourages reconciliation with
others over their wrongdoings.
However, reasons why people forgive vary from culture to culture. In more collectivistic cultures,
such as those in Asia, people tend to put the interest of their group or community ahead of that of their
own. Despite lingering anger or frustration, they may still choose to forgive for the sake of social harmony.
Individualistic cultures, on the other hand, emphasize personal gains, and hence often forgive in order to
soothe their conscience or to relieve a burden. Western cultures are presumably more individualistic ones,
yet the line can be blurred when it comes down to personal levels, hence people’s various reasons to forgive.
While people may forgive on different grounds, language also influences how they convey
forgiveness differently. The English word “forgiveness” does not translate well to some languages.

For example, in Ghana, an African country boasting over 50 languages, forgiveness does not come in
a single word but is best communicated through a whole sentence. In Zulu, a language spoken in South
Africa, “ubuntu” is synonymous with showing compassion toward transgressors, while in Sierra Leone,
“fambul tok,” the closest equivalent to forgiveness, originates from the tradition of settling issues with
the extended family in mind. In the similarly collectivistic Chinese-speaking culture, various phrases
denoting forgiveness can be used, depending on the severity of the issue in question and whether people
feel like addressing transgressors directly.
All in all, people may forgive for various reasons, but it always pays to learn how culture and
language may have something to do with people’s decision to forgive and forget.
27. Which of the following is the closest definition of the word “transgressors”?
(A) People who are responsible for a mistake or a crime.
(B) People who are attempting to avoid taking responsibility.
(C) People who are supposed to forgive others.
(D) People who are eager to apologize for their action.
28. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
(A) Forgiveness is beneficial whether we are offering or receiving it.
(B) It is impossible to define a culture or country as generally collectivistic or individualistic.
(C) People from the same culture may forgive others for different reasons.
(D) It is worth learning the different factors in people’s reason to forgive others.
29. What can be inferred from the passage?
(A) Offering forgiveness can sometimes mean compromising with or going against how we feel
personally.
(B) The more languages are spoken in a country, the more collectivistic the country will certainly be.
(C) Asian countries are usually more collectivistic than African and Western countries.
(D) There is a general way to offer forgiveness that works in nearly every culture and language.
30. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
(A) Different reasons to forgive.
(B) Language differences surrounding forgiving.
(C) The value in forgiveness.
(D) Opinions against forgiveness.

Every year, Taiwanese consume over a hundred thousand tons of mushrooms, which makes growing
mushrooms a multi-billion dollar industry in Taiwan. In fact, mushrooms owe a great deal of their
popularity to the health benefits and affordable price. Scientifically-proven to be effective in preventing
different cancers, mushrooms are also rich in dietary fiber that is favored by people with digestion
issues.
Truth be told, most people are unaware that behind the huge success of mushroom farmers lie a
potential food safety concern and an environmental cost. In Taiwan, mushrooms are grown on recycled

sawdust, namely, the chopped or sliced pieces of wood which are then compressed together. However,
in Taiwan, only 500 to 700 hectares of forests are permitted for legal felling annually, while the sawdust
needed to cultivate a year’s worth of mushrooms requires at least 2,000 hectares of woods. Drift wood
in the wake of typhoons may make up for the gap. Other sources range from discarded furniture and
scraps from wood factories to trimmed branches from street trees. Alarmingly, not every packet of
mushroom is checked for heavy metals or harmful chemicals, which are by-products of low-quality
sawdust. How to ensure a safe, sustainable, and environmentally-friendly supply of sawdust hence
becomes a pressing issue worth considering.
Fortunately, an answer was found in Hengchun Township, Ping Tung County. There, white popinac
used to be a foreign species which occupied a great deal of land yet offered few economic benefits.
Most white popinac trees were felled and chopped up as firewood. Now, local businessmen have been
turning white popinac to quality and affordable sawdust which can be sold to mushroom farmers.
Hopefully, by keeping a close eye on the sawdust, in addition to other elements of mushroom-growing
such as the environment and fungi strains, Taiwanese farmers can produce high-quality mushrooms
comparable to other expensive imports.
31. What is the purpose of this passage?
(A) To describe how much Taiwanese favor mushrooms as a food ingredient.
(B) To highlight an alternative to common sources of sawdust in Taiwan.
(C) To emphasize the difficulty that farmers have in finding enough sawdust in Taiwan.
(D) To confirm that the mushrooms we regularly have contain harmful chemicals.
32. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
(A) Most of the average public are aware of the potential problems of mushroom growing.
(B) There is a legal limit over how many trees we can cut down every year in Taiwan.
(C) The government has been paying close attention to how sawdust is obtained by mushroom growers.
(D) White popinac is of no use except for being turned into sawdust for mushroom farmers in Taiwan.
33. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
(A) Increasing numbers of Taiwanese include mushrooms in their meals.
(B) Further research is needed to confirm whether eating mushrooms is healthful.
(C) Mushroom farmers are likely to choose different sources of sawdust.
(D) Sawdust is the most important factor in growing high-quality mushrooms.
34. How is the information of this passage organized?
(A) In order of time.
(B) In order of importance.
(C) By problem and solution.
(D) By comparison and contrast.

第35.至38.題為題組
Despite the current slump in the aviation industry brought by COVID-19, innovation efforts to
come up with more advanced aircraft have never been stronger. In light of the environmental impact
of a single commercial flight and future passenger needs, the aim of aircraft innovation has been focused
on manufacturing airplanes that produce less noise, discharge less greenhouse gases, bring down the
cost of operation, and hopefully, make the most of runway spaces to reduce congestion and delays.
Curiously, as innovative as idea of the planes may sound, planes of the future resemble anything
but creations from science fiction. It takes a much closer look to find the cutting-edge innovations,
such as fiber composites, memory alloy, and virtual-reality windows, among others. Currently, the
model with the greatest hype and promise is the Aurora D8, or the D8 Airliner. Jointly funded and
developed by the government, universities and industry leaders, Aurora D8 has a wider and oval-shaped
body, or fuselage, for higher passenger capacity and greater lift, as well as more leg room for passengers.
It also moves the engines from the wings, where they usually are for our current commercial planes, to
the rear end, or the back of the plane above the tail. It is assumed that such a change is crucial in
enhancing energy efficiency. However, no plans have been proposed so far to install winglets, or
sheet-like devices attached nearly vertically to the tip of the wings, despite their promise to reduce
drag and help lift a plane with less resistance.
Projected to be in service in 2035 at the earliest, Aurora D8 will not guarantee much-awaited
supersonic flights, nor will it halve the air fare as anticipated by cash-strapped travelers. Yet, it is going
to provide a timely answer to our current challenging environmental problems.

(D) The new airplane in question may disappoint or fail people’s expectations in some ways.

(A) The author is slightly disapproving of its appearance.
(B) The author is convinced of its potential as a solution.
