請依下文回答第 51 題至第 55 題： French police on Thursday were hunting a trio of thieves who made off with a handbag containing 5 million euros (US$5.4 million) worth of Chanel jewels in a smash-and-grab on the highway between Paris and Charles de Gaulle Airport. A Taiwanese art collector was traveling in a taxi on Wednesday afternoon through a long tunnel 51 for robbery attacks on tourists stuck in traffic when the thieves smashed a car window and 52 her handbag.

Subjects in many old photos were not smiling at the camera for two reasons. Ann Thomas, curator of photographs at the National Gallery of Canada, says, “In the early days of photography, 15 existed a tradition of formality－handed down from portrait painting－in which posing for a photograph was considered a 16 occasion.”
The second reason, according to Thomas, is that prior to the 1880s, photographs required long exposures. So 17 the process, this could involve 20 minutes or more. This necessitated the subject remaining still, and since maintaining a smile for such an 18 period was difficult, it was discouraged. The arrival of smiling faces in photos came after the invention of the snapshot in the 1880s with the introduction of the Kodak dry-plate camera.

Children who are abused or neglected are far more likely to become criminals as adults, according
to a study released by an organization of police chiefs, prosecutors, psychologists and crime victims.
The report by Fight Crime: Invest in Kids recommends more money for pre-kindergarten programs and
parenting classes, saying the cost will be offset later when children who might have been burdens on
society grow up to be upstanding citizens. “Children who survive abuse and neglect can be significantly
injured,” said one of the report's authors, Dr. Randell Alexander. “Many go on to hurt others. If you are
born into a world of violence, you wire yourself for violence, not for peace.”
Using various governmental data and academic and advocacy group studies, researchers said child
abuse and neglect is vastly underreported. The 900,000 cases reported annually by the Health and
Human Services Department may be only one-third of the actual total, the report said. The report cited a
study published by Dr. Cathy Spatz Widom, a professor of criminal justice and psychology at the State
University of New York at Albany, found that individuals who had been abused or neglected as
youngsters were 29 percent more likely to become violent criminals than other children. Using that
estimate, researchers said 36,000 children will become violent criminals when they reach adulthood,
including 250 who will become murders.
The report's authors include four local prosecutors and two sheriffs. They said the findings illustrate
the need for more governmental funds for pre-kindergarten programs and parenting classes for families
considered high-risk for child abuse, primarily those on welfare or headed by high school dropouts.

【題組】43. The word “offset” in line 4 is mostly like .
(A) initiated
(B) set up
(C) surpassed
(D) compensated
(E) shortened

請依下文回答第 39 題至第 43 題： In recent years, the sudden disappearance of bees has concerned scientists. When many bees are absent from the earth, this will have a great impact on people’s life because many kinds of food such as fruits, vegetables, meats, milk, and eggs will be gone with bees. As a result, many scientists have already found out the reasons why many bees are vanishing from the earth. Some of these causes include climate change and serious food shortages for bees. But a major risk is the use of pesticides that can make bees become puzzled, bring less pollen home, and even unable to find their way home. In some of the worst cases, pesticides can harm bees’ immune systems and make them endangered by the threats of parasites. In order to save the bees and protect our environment, some people have already gone organic by not using pesticides when planting flowers, vegetables, and fruits. And to our great delight, scientists have also discovered the way to kill those parasites that are deadly to bees. Despite these great efforts made to save the bees, it is still the increasing awareness of environmental protection that can eventually protect our bees from disappearing.
【題組】40 According to the passage, why is the absence of bees on earth so vital to humans?
(A)Because it tells us about the reason of climate change.
(B)Because it makes humans realize the usage of pesticides to bees.
(C)Because it takes away many sources of food from humans.
(D)Because it lets people know the importance of science.

The key to understanding organized crime is to recognize that, like corporations and other businesses, it exists for a single purpose: to make a profit in a capitalist economy. The key difference between organized crime and “legitimate” businesses is that organized crime often makes much of its profit from illicit goods and services, and organized crime is prepared to use illegal means and practices, including violence, to achieve its profit-making goals. Like legal businesses, organized crime also seeks to gather and harness political power to assist in the conduct of its business. Once again, however, organized crime is prepared to pursue that goal, if necessary, through recourse to illegal methods. Actual violence is rare in organized crime activities, and is usually related to street-level activities. While violence is bad for business, the potential for violence is often enough to give organized crime networks a distinct advantage in the marketplace.
【題組】12.The word "advantage" in the last sentence most nearly means?
(A) handicap
(B) hindrance
(C) burden
(D) benefit

On April 22, 2019 (Sunday), close to 1,000 Uber drivers protested in front of the Presidential Office against the government’s proposed regulation to limit Uber’s business activities. In 41 of the protest, Uber also terminated its service for six hours on the same day. In February, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications（MOTC） announced a draft amendment on Article 103-1 of “Regulations for Automobile Transportation Operators,” otherwise known as the “Uber Clause,” calling for stricter rules that would essentially force Uber out of business. The amendment, if passed on April 26, would require Uber to 42 customers by a minimum of one hour in any given trip, regardless of distance. 43 , the rental car drivers working with Uber would have to return to their vehicle to the rental shop after every ride. According to Uber Taiwan, the amendment will 44 at least 3 million riders and 10,000 Uber drivers. 45 will have to pay for an hour-long fare even if the trip only lasts 10 minutes. Waiting time will also increase significantly since every driver will have to return the vehicle to its “garage.”

請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題：
The marketing term “effective frequency” refers to the idea that a consumer has to see or hear an ad a number oftimes before its message hits home. Essentially, the more you say something, the more it sticks in－and possibly on－people’s heads. It doesn’t even have to be true－and that’s the problem. What advertisers call “effective frequency,”psychologists call the “illusory truth effect”: the more you hear something, the easier it is for your brain to process, whichmakes it feel true, regardless of its basis in fact.
“Each time, it takes fewer resources to understand,” says Lisa Fazio, a psychology professor at VanderbiltUniversity. “That ease of processing gives it the weight of a gut feeling.” That feeling of truth allows misconceptions tosneak into our knowledge base, where they masquerade as facts. One example Fazio and her research team give is thebelief that vitamin C can prevent colds, which many people have taken as a fact but is actually a misconception simplybecause it is long repeated.
Even in the absence of endless repetition, we’re more likely to believe what we hear than to question it objectively,thanks to another psychological principle: confirmation bias.
“In general, human beings, after hearing any claim, behave like naive scientists and tend to look for informationthat confirms the initial conjecture,” says Ajay Kalra, a marketing professor at Rice’s Jones Graduate School of Business.“In an interesting experiment, a group of consumers was told a leather jacket, Brand A, was very good. When they laterexamined several brands, they tended to spend more time looking at Brand A and evaluating it more highly than otherbrands.”
The same principle applies to a coffee company’s claim that its coffee is the “richest” in the world. “Confirmationbias typically applies to situations where information is ambiguous and hard to refute,” he explains. “The more often youhear a message, the more the confirmatory bias likely comes into play.”
It’s no wonder that many of us fall for false claims on social media, especially when we see them tweeted andretweeted again and again. How can we fight back? There are ways to lessen the influence of repeated claims. One of thebest: don’t rely on a single source for information. Read stories from multiple news outlets and listen to a variety ofopinions. Commit to staying open-minded, and consult with friends and colleagues whose perspectives differ. Take asecond to consider how you know something is true. In this way, you can stymie the effects of repetition. It’s a greatthing to do on social media: before you share something, take that second and pause. Otherwise, you risk becoming partof the echo chamber that keeps falsehoods circulating.
【題組】49 Which of the following words is closest in meaning to the word “masquerade” in the second paragraph?
(A) To reveal.
(B) To disguise.
(C) To oppose.
(D) To research.

24(B).

Many people confuse education and training, but they are not the same thing. Education is knowledge-based and is defined as a body of academic knowledge that is most often learned in a classroom setting. Training is coaching to become proficient in particular behaviors or actions. Sometimes the two are confused because many training experiences, like a police academy, often involve many hours of classroom instruction. Such institutions combine elements of education and training, but the differences between the two remain. Knowledge is theoretical. Using a law enforcement example, you can study the laws of arrest without ever having to arrest anyone, but you need to be trained in handcuffing techniques if you will be expected to actually take someone into custody. Similarly, you can study laws and court cases pertaining to deadly physical force without ever having to fire a weapon. Training, on the other hand, is skills-based. It covers what you need to do, as much as what you need to know, in order to perform a task or group of tasks. Learning when or why is not the same as learning how.
【題組】16. The best title for this passage would be
(A) When or Why Is Not the Same As How.
(B) Education versus Training.
(C) The Benefits of Studying Case Law.
(D) The Importance of Handcuffing Techniques.

25(B).

第 51 題至第 55 題 (CNN Business) Tesla is selling its cars with the option of “full self-driving capability,” a featurethat’s drawing criticism from experts on self-driving technology. Experts say Tesla’s full self-drivingfeature is really a “partial” self-driving feature that handles minor driving tasks such as keeping pacewith other cars on a highway and still requires diligent 51 oversight. To most autonomous vehicleexperts, “full self-driving” means a car in which a person could safely fall asleep 52 the wheeland the steering wheel and pedals aren’t even needed. They say the general public doesn’t understandthis, and misperceptions abound. A 2018 study found that 71% of drivers believed they could purchase aself-driving car today, despite no fully autonomous vehicles being available for sale. Experts warn thatthis lack of understanding could be deadly as humans may put too much 53 in systems likeTesla’s, leading to crashes. Part of the problem, according to experts, is that governing bodies haven’t 54 a definition for self-driving vehicles. Some experts tell CNN Business that the government needsto step in to prevent businesses from misleading and confusing 55 . One says, “Tesla’s use of thisterm is totally irresponsible.”
