1 Asia’s clean-tech tigers are already launching massive government investment programs to dominate this industry. 2 A new report by the Breakthrough Institute argues that China, along with Japan and Korea, will dominate the clean-energy race by out-investing America. 3 Consequently, they have surpassed the U.S. in virtually all clean-energy areas, including wind, solar, and electric-car batteries. 4 In 2009, China already became the planet’s largest producer of wind turbines. 5 While America was digging itself out of its financial crisis, China quietly positioned itself to become a leader in the largest emerging industry of the 21st century: green tech.

Few know that family history might be one of the strongest influences on the risk of developing disorders like heart disease and cancer. (A) Family members share their living environments, lifestyles, and habits; they also share their genes. (B) Thus, one can recognize family traits like dimples and antithetic abilities; risks for diseases such as diabetes and cancer can also run in families. (C) Genealogy is the study of families and the tracing of their history by using historical records and genetic analysis to obtain information about a family. (D) Though we cannot change our genetic makeup, knowing our family history can help reduce the risk of developing health problems.

The book of the future may be made with radio paper and electronic ink. (A) Radio paper has a coating of millions of tiny capsules; in each, there is a dark liquid and hundreds of white balls. (B) Radio paper, oftentimes called e-paper, is a portable display medium that looks like paper but can be reused indefinitely. (C) An electrical charge can make the white balls move to the top or bottom of the capsule to make the “ink” look white or black. (D) Thus, the capsules could form letters on the page when they are charged in a pattern.

As the environmental impact of buildings becomes more apparent, a new field called “green building” is gaining momentum. (A) It is the practice of creating and using healthier and more resource-efficient models of construction, renovation, operation, and maintenance. (B) This practice expands and complements the classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort. (C) Hence, green building is also known as sustainable or high performance building. (D) Every building type has different design and efficiency needs depending on its function.

第四大題：段落重組(第 25－30 題) 1 Others with damage to the left hemisphere, instead, often just drew a large capital H with no A’s. 2 The division of labor by the two hemispheres in the human brain was demonstrated in a classic experiment. 3 The patients with damage to the right hemisphere often simply scattered A’s over the page. 4 The researchers asked brain-damaged patients to study a picture of a large capital H made up of little A’s and then redraw it from memory. 5 Thus, the human left brain characterizes stimuli according to one or a few details, whereas the right brain specializes in synthesizing global patterns.

1 It could get much worse if simultaneous outbreaks of seasonal flu and H1N1 lead to even more widespread use of the drug. 2 Previous studies have suggested that the top levels found in Tokyo’s rivers are high enough to develop drug-resistant strains of flu. 3 Researchers at Tokyo University in Japan have released a study indicating that the antiinfluenza drug Tamiflu can pass through sewage treatment plants and into rivers. 4 Since waterfowl are attracted to the warm, nutrient-rich discharge from those plants, there is a real danger that the fowl are being unintentionally dosed with Tamiflu. 5 The threat is particularly acute in Japan, where prescription rates of Tamiflu are higher than the rest of the world.
