The Saisiyat people—one of Taiwan’s officially recognized aboriginal groups—have a unique ritual ceremony called Pas-ta’al. That ceremony is said to have been carried out for as many as 400 years. Today, it takes place every two years. And every ten years, it is larger and takes on added significance. The most recent ten-year ceremony was held in 2006 at two complementary and overlapping sites in northern Taiwan during the full moon of the 10th lunar month. <br> Thousands gathered for the first day of the ceremony in Wufeng, Hsinchu County. Tourists from all over the island joined the local villagers in the elaborate ceremony in an open field. Men and women were dancing and singing, arms crossed, hand-in-hand, and moving in and out of a huge circle. Native Saisiyat people all wore bright red and white traditional costumes with intricate weaving and beading. Some had ornate decorations at the back, from which hung mirrors, beads, and bells that rang and clanged as the dancers moved. Tourists were welcome but were asked to stay away from particular areas where secret rituals were performed by village elders. They were also advised to tie Japanese silver grass around their arms, cameras, and recorders.

請依下文回答第 31 題至第 35 題

Scientists have genetically modified mice to enable them to sniff out landmines, the explosives buried just below the surface of the ground. They hope the GM mouse, known as MouSensor, could become a useful tool to help deal with the dangerous devices left from past wars.

Although it sounds peculiar, similar efforts have already been made. A Belgian charity uses giant African HeroRats to sniff out the chemical explosive, TNT. Two of these rats can clear an area in less than two hours that would take two people two days to do. One disadvantage of the HeroRat, however, is that it needs nine months’ training before being ready for landmine detection.

Scientists wanted to improve on the HeroRat concept by creating a “supersniffer” mouse, MouSensor. They found that a receptor in the lab mouse’s nose is sensitive to the odor of the chemical elements in TNT and landmines. By altering the genes of the mouse, scientists are able to enhance the capability of its receptor 500 times stronger than before. Besides having super sniffing power, the MouSensor is cheaper to manage and easier to breed than the rats.

When the MouSensor detects the presence of a landmine, it would have some sort of a seizure and faint because of its extreme sensitivity of the explosives. And this change of the mouse’s physical condition would trigger a chip implanted under its skin to send a signal to a computer monitored by scientists. As a result, the location of the landmine could be identified, and a bomb-disposal expert could go in and neutralize it. The mouse itself would be safe from the landmine, since it would be too small to trigger an explosion.

【題組】35 What is the advantage of the MouSensor over the HeroRat in detecting landmines?
(A) It runs faster in the field.
(B) It is less expensive to buy.
(C) It does not need a long training period.
(D) It neutralizes the bomb more effectively.

One of the first things most people want to hear discussed in relation to composing is the question of inspiration. They find it difficult to believe that composers are not as 2 that question as they had supposed. The layman always finds it hard to realize how natural it is for the composer to compose. He has a tendency to put himself into the position of the composer and to 3 the problems involved, including that of inspiration, from the perspective of the layman. He forgets that composing to a composer is like 4 a natural function. It is like eating or sleeping. It is something that the composer happens to have been born to do; and, because of that, it 5 the character of a special virtue in the composer’s eyes. The composer, therefore, confronted with the question of inspiration, does not say to himself, “Do I feel inspired?” He says to himself, “Do I feel like composing today?” And if he feels like composing, he does. It is 6 like saying to yourself, “Do I feel sleepy?” If you feel sleepy, you go to sleep. If you do not feel sleepy, you stay up. If the composer does not feel like composing, he does not compose. It is as simple as that.

第 46 題至第 50 題為題組 On a breakfast table in a French family, nothing is more important than fresh, tasty bread. French families buy fresh bread from boulangeries, the French word for bakeries, every morning. That means a typical baking day usually starts at 4:00 am and ends at noon. You would also be surprised at the number of independent boulangeries in cities, towns, and small villages. Among the dozens of types of French bread, baguette and croissant are what Taiwanese people are most familiar with. Baguette, literally meaning “a stick”, has golden-brown crust, with ivory-cream center, cereal aroma, and soft, chewy dough. In 1993, the French government enacted a law to protect the quality of “the pride of France.” The law states that a real baguette has to be made with wheat flour, water, salt, yeast, and nothing else. No additives or preservatives are allowed, which means it goes stale within 24 hours. A standard baguette is 250-300 grams in weight and 55 to 65 centimeters in length. Legend has it that it was Napoleon who contributed to the shape of baguette. He asked bakers to make a “stick-like” bread to make it easier for soldiers to carry their bread around down their pants. Warm and buttery, croissant is a common French breakfast food at the weekend. Typical ingredients include flour, yeast, milk, butter, egg, and salt. An important process is that the butter has to be put between the layers of dough but not to be incorporated into the dough. There are countless legends about the origin of this pastry. The most widespread one is associated with the Battle of Vienna. In 1683, Vienna was under siege by Turkish army. The Turks were trying to dig underground tunnels. However, bakers working in the middle of the night heard the digging and alerted Austrian soldiers, who had enough time to stop the digging and defeat the Turks. To celebrate the victory, bakers in Vienna made a pastry in the shape of crescents, a thin, curved shape they saw on Turkish flags, and they called the pastry “Kipferl”, the German word for “crescent”. When Austrian princess Marie Antoinette came to France and married King Louis XVI in 1770, she introduced to this country her favorite pasty, which came to be known as croissant in French.

(A) It is at most 55 centimeters long.
