Of all Modernism’s tenets, few have been more “revered” than the assembly line. Its crisp efficiency was a template for everything. The new BMW plant in Leipzig serves as an antidote to just that sort of uniformity. A boomerang-shaped industrial shed with rows of cars streaming on curving tracks, it is less a model of efficiency than a machine for voyeuristic pleasure. Moreover, the plant is an attempt at social engineering. Its architect subverts the sequential order of manufacturing by having each car loop back through the central building, where workers can survey their work. Engineers and workers are in constant contact, too, mingling in the corridors and the cafeteria, which breaks down the hierarchy. Because each car is routed on its way from the body shop to the paint shop or final assembly plant, you witness them in all their various stages. At certain points, the cars stop and revolve on enormous turntables before heading off in a new direction. The movements suggest mechanical ballet. Leipzig plant is thus the flagship of BMW that provides customized services. Very subtly, the free flow of information replaces the monotony of the assembly line; individual needs rule over bland repetition; and machines are at the service of man.

(A) Its voyeuristic function
(B) Its uniformity
(C) Lack of communication

第 43 題至第 46 題為篇章結構，各題請依文意，從四個選項中選出最合適者，各題答案內容不重複 Before the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing took place, several athletes had faced charges of taking substances banned by the International Olympic Committee. ___43___ Far from quelling such practices, the advent of drug testing in sports in the late 1960s stimulated an arms race between regulators and the cheats. Today, some athletes and their coaches continue to risk their reputation, and sometimes the athletes’ long-term health, for the chance to dope undetected. ___44____ The latest drugs are designed with testing in mind, so that they either clear from the body quickly or do not produce the tell-tale metabolite spikes in blood and urine samples. As a result, the testing labs must also push to stay one step ahead of the cheats. Donald Berry, a biostatistician, summarizes what he sees as problems with the way doping tests are conducted. ___45___ The ability of an anti-doping test to detect a banned substance in an athlete is calibrated in part by testing a small number of volunteers taking the substance in question. But Berry says that individual labs need to verify these detection limits in larger groups that include known dopers and non-dopers under blinded conditions that mimic what happens during competition. ___46___ Only by publishing and opening to broader scientific scrutiny the methods by which testing labs engage in study may the anti-doping authorities avoid a sporting culture of suspicion, secrecy, and fear.
【題組】46
(A)Some scientists believe that accepting “legal limits” of specific metabolites without such rigorous verification goes against the foundational standards of modern science.
(B)These were just a few in a long line of cases in which competitors had been accused of using performance-enhancing substances.
(C)The alternative could see the innocent being punished while the guilty escape on the grounds of reasonable doubt.
(D)In the process, they push the human body to its limits and go beyond what is known about the drugs being taken.

Nobody knows what the global temperature is likely to be in the future, for the climate is a system of almost infinite complexity. Predicting how much hotter a particular level of carbon dioxide will make the world is impossible. It’s not just that the precise effect of greenhouse gases on temperature is unclear. It may set off mechanisms that tend to cool things down (clouds which block out sunlight, for instance) or ones that heat the world further (by melting soils in which greenhouse gases are frozen, for instance). The system could right itself or spin out of human control.

This uncertainty is central to the difficulty of tackling the problem. Since the costs of climate change are unknown, the benefits of trying to do anything to prevent it are, by definition, unclear. What’s more, if they accrue at all, they will do so at some point in the future. So is it really worth using public resources now to avert an uncertain, distant risk, especially when the cash could be spent instead on goods and services that would have a measurable near-term benefit?

If the risk is big enough, yes. Governments do it all the time. They spend a small slice of tax revenue on keeping standing armies not because they think their countries are in imminent danger of invasion but because, if it happened, the consequences would be catastrophic. Individuals do so, too. They spend a little of their incomes on household insurance not because they think their homes are likely to be torched next week but because, if it happened, the results would be disastrous. Similarly, a growing body of scientific evidence suggests that the risk of a climatic catastrophe is high enough for the world to spend a small proportion of its income trying to prevent one from happening.

【題組】36 According to the passage, what does the underlined word they refer to?
(A) benefits
(B) costs
(C) greenhouse gases
(D) public resources

45 Familiarity alone prevents our seeing how universally and largely the minds of our domestic animals have been modified by domestication.

(C) Familiarity with our domestic animals has prevented us from domesticating other animals.
(D) We don’t see how domestic animals have been domesticated because of intimacy.

15(B).

43 Try to improve or optimize one of these global financial crisis parameters and you end up paying somewhere else along the line.
(A) Improving one or two of the global financial crisis parameters is very likely to create more crisis parameters in the end.
(B) The global financial crisis parameters are so intertwined that you can gain some here and lose some there.
(C) To improve the global financial crisis parameters, you need to take care of them all at the same time instead of one at a time.
(D) You need to pay close attention to the global financial crisis parameters before you can even improve or optimize one of them.

16(B).

44 It is ironic that the very institutions carrying out the research that informs the public of global climate change are often not terribly good at acting on their own understanding.

(B)Global climate change is terrible and it is ironic that much research has been done by research institutions but the public has found little use of the research result in their everyday life.
(C) It is terrible to see that research institutions, which conduct research on and inform the public about global climate change, often fail to do what they preach.
(D) That institutions carrying out the research which informs people about global climate change do not recycle natural resources in the research processes is ironically expected.

In contrast to other host cities who have often taken on the Olympic Games without clear objectives, the organizers of the Barcelona Olympics set one major goal: the transformation of Barcelona into one of Europe's great centers of tourism and business. For this reason, the organizers worked to 26 the direct costs of hosting the Games while focusing their investment on improvements that would benefit the city for years to come. The construction of sports venues 27 less than 10% of the construction costs; the rest of the money went to expanding roads, green spaces, housing, hotels, and business centers.
