編號第 47 題至第 50 題，請依據下文文意，從四個選項中選出最合適者。 At the beginning of the 16th century, laborers working near the Colosseum penetrated a buried building whose vaults were adorned with frescoes and stuccos. This was the Domus Aurea or Golden House, a huge palace built by the Emperor Nero over the remains of a building that had burned down. The Domus Aurea had burned in its turn and had been covered over by the baths of Trajan. The Domus Aurea galleries, which were thought to have been underground from the very beginning, were called “grottoes,” and their mural paintings of ornamental designs and mythological figures were called “grotesques.” The discovery of the grotesques was to have a profound influence on the artists of the Renaissance, who began to redecorate palaces with imitations of them. Raphael (1483-1520), one of the greatest, also drew inspiration from them when decorating the Logge in the Vatican palace. Even more important was the fact that the frescoes provided the first color illustrations of antiquity; the mural paintings of Pompeii and Herculaneum were not discovered until two centuries later.

We stand now where two roads diverge. But unlike the roads in Robert Frost’s familiar poem, they are not equally fair. The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies 41 . The other fork of the road—the one “less traveled by”— offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the 42 of our earth. The choice is ours to make. If, having endured much, we have at last asserted our “right to know,” and 43 , knowing, we have concluded that we are being asked to take senseless and frightening risks, then we should no longer accept the counsel of those who tell us that we must fill our world with poisonous chemicals; we should look about and see what other course is open to us. A truly extraordinary variety of 44 to the chemical control of insects are available. Some are already in use and have achieved brilliant success. Others are in the stage of laboratory testing. Still others are little more than ideas in the minds of imaginative scientists, waiting for the opportunity to put them to the test.

請依下文回答第 36 題至第 40 題

Fuel poverty occurs when a household is unable to afford the most basic amount of energy foradequate heating, cooking, lighting, and use of appliances in the home. According to European UniversityInstitute, in 2011, 9.8% of households in the EU27 countries and 15.8% of households in the 12 newmember states could not afford to heat their homes adequately. Thus, fuel poverty is an increasingly seriousproblem across Europe and requires the intervention of policymakers.

In particular, corrective measures have been implemented which aim to help fuel-poor householdspay their energy bills, and preventive policies have also been introduced, which focus more on improvingresidential energy efficiency. Debates about the effectiveness of these measures have ensued for severalreasons; mainly because energy retrofit renovations have often been undertaken by wealthier households.Thus, despite these measures, given the expected increase in the cost of energy, some could find it difficultor even impossible to satisfy their energy needs. As a prerequisite to discussions about the effectivenessof different measures to fight fuel poverty, debates have often focused on the need to reliably identify fuel-poor households and create a detailed profile of such households. In fact, the multidimensionality of fuelpoverty makes it difficult to achieve this.

Fuel poverty has traditionally been treated as a monetary poverty problem. At European Union level,there is no common definition or standardized indicator for assessing fuel poverty. While there is a largebody of literature on measuring poverty, consensus has not yet been reached on the related methodologicaland conceptual issues. However, households affected by fuel poverty are not always the same as thoseaffected by monetary problems, even if the two phenomena are inextricably linked.

In this context, we suggest that a more careful and systematic understanding can be developedthrough a multidimensional approach to the relationship between monetary poverty, residential energyefficiency of buildings, and heating restrictions. Our objective in this paper is not to challenge existingmeasures of fuel poverty, but provide new ways to better identify those who suffer the most from fuelpoverty in order to optimize policy. We argue this is needed to better identify the connection betweenenergy use and well-being and therefore deepen understanding of energy poverty.
