請依下文回答第 43 題至第 46 題：
New Yorkers are not notably genial neighbors. Many get to know one another solely by what manages to permeate
their deadbolted doors—an odoriferous stew, the wail of a child, the hushed sighs of intimate moments.
But the boom in condos loaded with amenities, along with the construction of some high-end rental buildings, has
created opportunities for neighbors to make the transition from polite elevator nods to cocktail-caliber mingling. More
and more properties in the city feature community amenities like gyms, lounges, and roof decks. These, and more novel
spaces—cinemas, wet bars, squash courts, outdoor rain showers, are putting lounges with a lonely television set to shame,
and they are fostering a clubby college-dormitory atmosphere in several developments.
“We’re extremely social creatures, and I think people in New York suffer from an inability to really interact with
people,” said Susan Meiklejohn, associate professor of urban planning at Hunter College. This is not because New
Yorkers are cold, Dr. Meiklejohn said, but because the city is so dense that people avoid one another to establish buffer
zones. “What level of friendliness can you possibly sustain each day if you have to say hello to everybody you meet on
34th Street?” she said. The design of many new buildings, however, are gradually making New Yorkers venture beyond
tight-lipped hellos at the mailbox.
【題組】44 According to the passage, what is the change New Yorkers have undergone?
(A)They are building more condos and expensive rental buildings.
(B)They have learned to enjoy tight-lipped hellos and polite elevator nods.
(C)They are developing closer relationships with their neighbors.
(D)They have become used to whatever permeates their deadbolted doors.

The proliferation of regional trade agreements (RTAs) is fundamentally 7 the world trade landscape. RTAs are often one
8 of a larger political effort to deepen economic relations with neighboring countries. Today more than one third of global trade
9 between countries that have some form of 10 RTA. The European Union (EU) and United States are playing a
prominent role in this proliferation. 【題組】 8 (A) ingredient (B) component (C) possession (D) compliment
For sushi aficionados, the essence of the Atlantic bluefin tuna is its fat-laced, butter-soft belly meat, called toro.
For those who seek the bluefin from Cape Hatteras off the coast of North Carolina to the frigid waters south of Iceland
to the balmy Mediterranean, the fish are a potential bonanza, with choice specimens selling for $50,000 or more in
Tokyo. But the intensifying trade in bluefin may soon empty the waters of this master of the sea. In just the last 35
years, exploding markets for sushi-grade tuna, combined with industrial-scale hunts aided by satellites and spotters in
airplanes, have devastated not only the fish but also many fisheries. Dozens of Mediterranean towns that maintained
coastal net traps for half a millennium or more are turning away from now-barren waters. Anglers off New England
now scour the seas for scattered fish. Most valuable, marine biologists say, is the apparently distinct population of
bluefin tuna that breeds in the Gulf of Mexico. The threat to the bluefin was underscored recently by researchers who
have tracked hundreds of the fish using electronic tags. They found that the tuna that spawn in the west, which are
most severely depleted, are threatened by an ever-broadening gantlet of hooks, seines, harpoons, traps and now
farm-style pens, in which netted fish are raised and fattened— all to supply the Japanese sushi trade.
【題組】48 What does the modern fishing industry use to help hunt fish on a large scale?
(A) Satellites (B) Coastal net traps
(C) Angling (D) Rocket-propelled harpoons
