41. In the first sentence of this passage, “disputes are bound to arise.” What does the boldfaced phrase “bound to” most likely mean in the context? (A) Heading for. (B) Certain to. (C) Unlikely to. (D) Limited by. When you were in school, did you believe everything you read? We did. We never questioned who was writing the text, who was determining what topics would be included in it, or who was deciding what would be excluded from it. We never questioned if there was any perspective other than the one presented in the daily newspaper, on the evening news, or in our textbooks. We were passive recipients of knowledge. Critical literacy helps us to move beyond that passive acceptance and take an active role in the reader-author relationship by questioning issues such as who wrote the text, what the author wanted us to believe, and what information the author chose to include or exclude in the text. Critical literacy helps us to read texts in deeper, more meaningful ways. It encourages readers of all ages to become actively engaged and use their power to construct understanding and not be used by the text to fulfill the intentions of the author. It helps readers understand that there are many ways of thinking about and understanding a topic and that the author has explained it in only one way.

45. What is the main idea of this passage? (A) The reader should know who was determining what we should read. (B) The reader never questioned the author of the text that he was reading. (C) The reader should take a critical stance in the reader-author relationship. (D) It was wrong to believe what we read in school. 【背面尚有試題】語文類(一) 專業科目(一) 共 8 頁第 8 頁 The population of Taiwan is composed of four distinct ethnic groups, each of which has its own language: the Southern Min people, who immigrated to Taiwan from southern Fujian several centuries ago and speak the Southern Min dialect of Chinese; the mainland Chinese, who fled to Taiwan from various provinces in China after the Communist victory of 1949 and speak mostly Mandarin; the Hakka, who came from Guangdong province at about the same time as the Southern Min people and speak the Hakka dialect; and the aboriginal people, who have been in Taiwan for several thousand years and speak about a dozen different Malayo-Polynesian languages. From 1895 until 1945, the Japanese government ruled Taiwan and promoted the Japanese language among the people. As a result, many of the native Taiwanese ( i.e., the Southern Min, Hakka, and Malayo-Polynesian peoples) above the age of fifty or so speak Japanese as a second language. Since 1945, when Taiwan was returned to China at the conclusion of World War II, Mandarin—the national language of China—has been taught widely in the schools, with the result that most of those under fifty now know that language. Thus, a majority of the population of Taiwan is bilingual, with many trilingual and even quadrilingual speakers.
