IV. Reading Comprehension: Choose the best answer to each question.
(1) Children's physical and mental development is a complex and dynamic process that encompasses various aspects of growth, learning, and emotional well-being. It is essential to provide children with a nurturing environment that supports their overall development.Here are key factors that contribute to children's physical and mental development.
Physical health is crucial for children's overall development. Regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and sufficient sleep play vital roles in promoting physical growth, motor skills, and overall well-being. Cognitive development involves the growth of a child's thinking, problem-solving, and reasoning abilities. Stimulating activities, such as reading, puzzles, and educational games, can enhance cognitive development and foster intellectual curiosity. Nurturing emotional development is essential for children's overall well-being. Providing a safe and supportive environment, teaching emotional intelligence, and encouraging healthy expression of feelings help children develop emotional resilience and interpersonal skills. Developing social skills is crucial for children's ability to interact with others effectively. Opportunities for socialization, teamwork, and conflict resolution support the development of empathy, communication skills, and cooperation.
Lastly, language acquisition plays a central role in children's cognitive and social development. Providing a language-rich environment, engaging in conversations, and reading together contribute to children's vocabulary, language skills, and communication abilities.

(2) As it has been estimated that the world’s population will exceed nine billion by 2050, global food demands will increase drastically in the future. However, because of climate change, we will need to feed our growing population with less arable land. To address this issue, vertical agriculture, an alternative to the traditional horizontal farming model, may be a potential solution that can give human beings a sustainable future.
Vertical agriculture, also known as vertical farming, refers to the process of growing crops not only in rows, but also in stacked layers. Although it looks like a revolutionary farming method, it actually has a long history. The first known example of vertical farming is “The Hanging Gardens of Babylon” built in the sixth century B.C. At that time, the ancient Babylonians grew crops on water. It was considered as the world’s first concept of vertical farming.
There are primarily three types of vertical farming—hydroponics, aquaponics and aeroponics. Hydroponics is the growing process where crops are grown with their roots submerged in a nutrient-rich water solution. This method is also getting more and more common in urban areas today. The second method, aquaponics, is a sustainable food production system where crops are grown in water that contains waste from fish, and they in turn clean the water for the fish. Finally, aeroponics refers to the process of growing crops with their roots suspended in the air. Farmers practicing aeroponics believe that crops will become healthier and grow faster when their roots have greater access to oxygen.
Although vertical farming may help the world produce an abundance of fruit and vegetable, currently it still has several major limitations. The first issue is the cost involved in the implementation and maintenance of vertical farming systems. Because vertical farming technologies are still expensive, not every farmer can afford them. Another limitation is that vertical farming systems today can grow only a limited number of crops, making vertical farming still less economically viable than field farming. Thus, more research is needed to explore how to plant different crops vertically in large-scale systems.
【題組】39. How is the information about vertical farming organized in Paragraphs 2 to 4?
(A) Definition → Analysis → Solutions
(B) Definition → Comparison → Advantages
(C) History → Comparison → Problems
(D) History → Analysis → Effects

(3) If you are fascinated by Spanish culture, you should not miss the Cascamorras Festival when you visit Spain. Of all the Spanish festivals, this Cascamorras event may be the “darkest.”
The Cascamorras Festival takes place every September in the towns of Baza and Guadix, both located in the southern province of Granada. The origin of this festival is believed to date back to the 15th century. At that time, a worker named Juan Pedernal from Gaudix found a sacred image of the Virgen de la Piedad in an old church while he was working in Baza. On his way back to Guadix, the villagers of Baza took the religious image away from Juan Pedernal because they thought the image belonged to Baza. That was when the conflict between the two towns started. Finally, thanks to the intervention of the authorities, the image stayed in Baza on the condition that it could be taken back to Guadix for one day every September for people to venerate it. An additional agreement was that residents from Guadix had to enter the church in Baza without being covered in paint. Therefore, every year when residents from Guadix came to retrieve the image, people in Baza would throw ink at them to stop their mission.
The Cascamorras Festival has become a cultural tourist attraction in Spain. Celebrated annually from September 6th to 9th, this festival is well-known for a black paint battle that contains two main runs—one in Baza and the other in Guadix. The “Cascamorras,” the symbolic figure in this battle, would come from Guadix to enter Baza. To stop the Cascamorras, thousands of people painted with black pigment will throw black grease. On the final day, the festival moves back to Guadix. Because the Cascamorras fail to take the religious image back, they will be thrown paint again. But this time, people use colorful paint rather than black grease.
【題組】43. What is the passage mainly about?
(A) The history and celebration of the Cascamorras Festival
(B) The differences between the two major runs during the festival
(C) Some practical tips that tourists should know to enjoy the celebration
(D) How the conflict between Baza and Guadix was resolved

44(C).

【題組】44. According to the passage, why does the author think the Cascamorras Festival may be the “darkest” festival in Spain?
(A) Because the festival originated from a feud between Juan Pedernal and Baza.
(B) Because runners may easily get hurt while enjoying the fight.
(C) Because people will be painted black from top to toe during the festival.
(D) Because the villagers in Baza thought the Cascamorras stole the religious image.

45(B).

【題組】45. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “venerate” ?

(B) This idea was proposed by residents in Guadix to protect their rights.
(C) Visitors from Guadix needed to be painted with black ink along the streets.
(D) Residents from Guadix needed to remain clean to retrieve the image.

47(D).

(4) The word volcano can describe anything from a single opening in the earth a few meters across to a field of connected openings that might be 20 kilometers or more in width. Most researchers consider any set of openings that are connected to a large central core as a single “volcano”. Otherwise, they would have to deal with an endless number of names for each individual opening. Italy’s Stromboli has been almost constantly erupting for over 2400 years, but most eruptions do not last that long. Currently, there are about 15 volcanoes worldwide that have been actively erupting for the last 30 years. On the other end of the scale, about ten percent of volcanoes have eruptions which last for just a single day. The majority of the eruptions lasted three months or less. This means the average time from beginning to end is usually about seven weeks.
From the number of volcanic eruptions detected over the past few hundred years, it would appear that they are becoming much more frequent over time. However, when researchers tracked the growth in reported eruptions along with the growth of the human population, they realized that volcanic activity wasn't actually becoming more frequent. Instead, as people spread over more areas of the earth's surface, the monitoring and reporting of volcanic activity inevitably increased with the expanding population.
The highest volcano when measured from sea level to its top is Ojos del Salado in the Andes mountains in South America. It is 6,887 meters above sea level. However, when measured from its base on the surface of the earth to the top, a different set of volcanoes become the highest ones. Some volcanoes in the Mauna Loa zone near Hawaii rise as much as 19 kilometers above their bases at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.
The first thing to do when caught near a volcanic eruption is to avoid a potentially disastrous situation, listen to the radio and travel only as instructed by the local police or other authorities. Stay away from lava, mud and flying rocks. Avoid river areas and low-lying regions. Before you leave the house, put on a long-sleeved shirt, long pants, and eyeglasses or sunglasses to protect your eyes. Wear an emergency mask or hold a wet cloth over your face if you do not have one. Since ash can damage engine parts, refrain from driving if possible. If you decide not to leave the house, close all windows and doors to prevent ash from getting inside.
【題組】47. What is the purpose of this passage?
(A) To explain that volcanic activities have been increasing.
(B) To relate some interesting facts about volcanoes.
(C) To describe what causes volcanoes to erupt.
(D) To show readers how to protect themselves during an eruption.
