四、閱讀測驗
第一篇：
Wilhelm Grimm and his older brother Jacob studied German folklore and oral traditions and published a
collection of stories eventually known as Grimms’ Fairy Tales（格林童話）which includes stories like Sleeping
Beauty and Little Red Riding Hood. Several of the brothers’ tales have been adapted into successful TV shows
and movies. Although the two brothers are famous for sharing the classic tales bearing their name, there are some
facts that most people might not have known about them.
Despite the fact that Jacob and Wilhelm are often associated with Snow White and Rapunzel, the brothers
didn’t actually write any of those stories. In fact, the stories existed long before the two men were born in
Germany in the mid 1780s. The fairy tales, in fact, were part of a rich oral tradition—passed down from
generation to generation, often by women seeking to pass the time during household chores. But as
industrialization took root, local traditions changed and scholars, like Jacob and Wilhelm, began a quest to save
the stories from extinction. They interviewed relatives and friends, collecting whatever tales they could,
sometimes even making small changes to make them more appealing. In 1812, Jacob and Wilhelm published the
stories as part of a collection titled Nursery and Household Tales, or what is now referred to as Grimms’ Fairy
Tales.
Originally, Grimms’ Fairy Tales were not meant for children. The stories regularly included sex, violence,
and copious footnotes. Worse yet, they didn’t even have illustrations. Initially aimed at adults, the early editions
of Nursery and Household Tales contained unusually dark elements. In its original version, for example,
Rapunzel became pregnant after a casual fling. In Cinderella, the stepsisters cut off their toes and heels to try to
fit into the slipper. These sorts of scenes were eventually revised once the stories became popular among
children. 【題組】41. What is the passage mainly about?
(A) Women and fairy tales

【題組】43. What can be inferred from the passage?
(A) Wilhelm Grimm wrote Little Red Riding Hood.
(B) Wilhelm Grimm and Jacob Grimm were scholars.
(C) Wilhelm Grimm and Jacob Grimm were not really brothers.

第二篇：
The world is changing and people are going to have to learn to get along. Being exposed to and building
relationships with people who look different can help us to have better attitudes and be more positive about other
races and cultures. In 2017, researchers from UCLA published research showing a wide range of personal and
social benefits for students of all races and ethnicities from attending ethnically diverse schools. The study found
that middle school students from a range of racial and ethnic backgrounds feel safer, less lonely and less bullied
if they attend schools that are more diverse. The study also found that students in diverse schools—those with
multiple ethnic groups of relatively equal size—reported more tolerance and less prejudice toward students of
other ethnicities and believe teachers treat all students more fairly and equally.
Underscoring the importance of these findings, the study’s authors point out that the nation’s population has
become significantly more diverse and will become even more so. According to the National Center for
Education Statistics, as of 2015 more than half of school-age youth in the United States were ethnic minority. By 2040 White students will no longer be the majority in our nation’s public schools. Yet today, U.S. schools have
become more segregated than at any time in the past 40 years. Immigration is changing everything. We need to
realize it is in everybody’s interest for schools and classrooms to be more racially diverse. Diversity enhances
learning because divergent points of view challenge students’ own beliefs. 【題組】46. What is the main idea of the passage?
(A) Being in a racially diverse environment benefits the students.
(B) More and more private schools are racially diverse in the U.S.
(C) The world is changing but schools should stay the same.
(D) Gender equality is the most important issue in education.
【題組】47. Which of the following is true?
(A) White students are no longer the majority in U.S. public schools.
(B) The U.S. population is becoming more ethnically diverse.
(C) Middle school students are better off in all White schools.
(D) Minority students in public schools feel better about themselves.
【題組】48. What can be inferred from the passage?
(A) The UCLA study included college students only.
(B) Students in diverse schools are more likely to suffer from discrimination in school.
(C) Teachers in diverse schools are paid less than those in other schools.
(D) U.S. schools are more segregated than 20 years ago.
【題組】49. Which of the following is NOT a benefit of attending ethnically diverse schools?
(A) Students develop more positive attitudes toward other cultures.
(B) Students have more tolerance for those of different races.
(C) Students are more used to being treated differently because of race.
(D) Students feel less lonely and less bullied.
【題組】50. What will researchers of the UCLA study most likely agree with?
(A) Immigration policies should be made by school teachers.
(B) U.S. population is becoming more diverse, and so should schools.
(C) White students should be the majority in public schools.
(D) Minority students will learn better in private schools.
