Echolocating bats 21 sounds in patterns—characteristic of
each species—that contain both frequency-modulated (FM) and
constant-frequency (CF) signals. The broadband FM signals and
the narrowband CF signals travel out to a target, reflect from it
and return to the hunting bat. In this process of 22 and
reflection, the sounds are changed and the changes in the echoes
enable the bat to perceive features of the target.
The FM signals report information about target characteristics
that modify the timing and the fine frequency structure, or
spectrum, of echoes—for example, the target’s size, shape,
texture, surface, structure, and direction in space. Because of
their narrow bandwidth, CF signals portray only the target’s
presence and, 23 some bat species, its motion 24 the
bat’s. 25 changes in the CF echo’s frequency, bats of some
species correct in flight for the direction and velocity of their
moving prey. 【題組】21. (A) break out (B) emit (C) remit (D) burst into

Ⅵ. Reading Comprehension
A commonly held view about the Germans is that they are
ruthlessly rational, and this assumption is best understood
through the following joke. An English couple have a child.
After the birth, medical tests reveal that the child is normal,
apart from the fact that it is German. This, however, should not
be a problem. There is nothing to worry about. As the child
grows older, it dresses in lederhosen and has a pudding bowl
haircut, but all its basic functions develop normally. It can walk,
eat, sleep and so on, but for some reason the German child never
speaks. The concerned parents take it to the doctor, who
reassures them that as the German child is perfectly developed in
all other areas, there is nothing to worry about and that he is sure
the speech faculty will eventually blossom. Years pass. The
German child enters its teens, and still it is not speaking. The
German child's mother is especially distressed by this. One day
she makes the German child, who is now 17 years old and still
silent, a bowl of tomato soup, and takes it through to him in the
parlour where he is listening to a wind-up gramophone record
player. Soon, the German child appears in the kitchen and
suddenly declares, "Mother, this soup is a little tepid." The
German child's mother is astonished. "All these years," she
exclaims, "we assumed you could not speak. And yet all along it
appears you could. Why? Why did you never say anything
before?" "Because, mother," answers the German child, "up until
now, everything has been satisfactory."

In past centuries, many of those who had a fluent command of
two, three of even more languages (or dialects) were largely
illiterate in the sense of having difficulty in reading and writing
texts printed on paper. By contrast, the bi- or multilingualism
which the modern world demands through education at school
requires not only an oral-aural proficiency in two or more
languages, but also bi- or multi-literacy involving the new
technologies. Computers and the internet have created many
new types of everyday language-use involving reading and
writing, often in combination with static and moving visuals and
sounds of many different sorts. Literacy is therefore not just the
capacity to read traditionally printed text and write letters, essays
and articles on paper by hand or machine. It is now much more
multi-faceted and has become a major core skill in instant
communication within networks stretching across the world.
【題組】46. According to the author, what is the reason that literacy has
become a core skill in communication nowadays?
(A) Many new types of language use involve reading and writing.
(B) Schools education requires literacy in languages.
(C) Those who are illiterate cannot survive in the modern world.
(D) People need to be able to communicate within networks.
【題組】47. Based on the information in this passage, which of the
following statements would most likely be considered true?

visuals and sounds.
(D) It is useful to consider the notion of critical literacy.
【題組】48. Which of the following statements would the author most
likely agree with?
(A) People need to be literate in new technologies.
(B) Literacy is multi-faceted.
(C) Learning through English helps individuals with their career.

strategy for learners.
