請依下文回答第 28 題至第 31 題： The beautiful scenery and amazing creatures found below the waves are what draw most divers to the ocean. Some divers take up photography as a hobby. Diving magazines have been known to buy photographs of rare sea life from regular divers. Above the surface, hired boats take tourists on whale watching trips. Whale watching during the right season allows people to see not only a variety of whale species, but seals and other sea animals as well. Some of the more eager watchers may even travel hundreds of miles to follow the paths of individual whales. Meanwhile, bird watchers work hard to discover new bird species. Serious bird watchers bring along their life lists, in which they record every species of bird that they have seen in the wild. Like whale watchers, “birders” sometimes hop continents on their mission to add new species to their lists. Collecting parts of animals is a common hobby. While buying or selling ivory is illegal, it can be made into profitable items such as chess sets, piano keys, and jewelry. Animal skins and furs and entire stuffed animals are often found at homes as decorating items. And the hobby of butterfly collecting is one of the oldest in the world. Russian author Vladimir Nabokov was known for his life-long passion for collecting butterflies. The world’s largest collection is found in Costa Rica, a nation with more butterfly species than the entire Africa.
【題組】31 Why are some “birders” traveling far away from home?
(A)To watch a larger number of birds.
(B)To find a greater number of bird species.
(C)To bring along more bird life lists.
(D) To hop from continent to continent.

請回答第 46 題至第 50 題：
Jim Monsma of the Washington Animal Rescue League in Washington D.C. is now using the Feline-ality program, a personality test designed to match cats with prospective owners. The program assesses a variety of behaviors in individual cats, and then tallies those assessments to place the cat into nine personality categories, which can be matched with a family’s situation and desires. It’s not unlike a magazine quiz to find out “Which kind of cat are you?” The program is used at 45 shelters, with additional facilities preparing to use it.
As part of the personality test on a cat named Barnaby, Monsma brings Barnaby into an unfamiliar room and opens his cat carrier. Barnaby shoots out and takes charge, checking out the room and everything in it. Monsma uses a stopwatch to track how much time Barnaby spends on social interactions. For example, he adds up how many seconds Barnaby spends trying to get on his lap. He also monitors his noises and blink rate, both indicators of sociability. Monsma then initiates some interactions, offering a hand, three different toys, and hugs. Each
transaction earns Barnaby some points. His total comes out high on both scales—he’s both highly sociable and highly confident.
Equally important to the Feline-ality program is the fact that people differ, too. Adopters fill out a
questionnaire and the results give them a color code, telling them which set of personality types would be best for them to consider. The program aims to end animal-human mismatches, often a reason cats are returned to the shelter, Monsma says. He says the program has helped to increase adoption in shelters that have tested the Feline-ality program, partly because people find the process fun.
【題組】47 Which of the following steps is not taken during the test with Barnaby?
(A)Lead Barnaby into a place that is new to the cat.
(B)Check how much time the cat spends on interactions.
(C)Offer the cat some food to see how fast he eats.
(D)Monitor some indicators of the cat’s sociability.

If knowledge is power, then literacy is the key to the kingdom. For centuries, the ability to read and write has given power to those who possessed it, although access to book learning—indeed, to books themselves—was often limited to a privileged minority. Today, by contrast, we inhabit a digital age in which written texts are more widely and democratically available than ever before. A prerequisite for access, however, is still the ability to comprehend and appraise those texts. Individuals who lack strong skills for finding, understanding, and evaluating written information cannot easily arm themselves with that information or use it to advance the causes they value. And because a free society depends on an informed and autonomous citizenry, the loss is not theirs alone. As we confront some of the great questions of our time—about war and diplomacy, immigration and citizenship, health care and human rights, and fair access to education and employment—literacy liberates us from dependence on received wisdom and allows us to find and weigh the evidence ourselves. Simply put, literacy is cornerstone of our freedom.
【題組】32 Traditionally, who had access to literacy?
(A)Internet hackers.
(B)Computer programmers.
(C)The privileged minority.
(D)Every individual eager to learn.

32 題至第 36 題：
The ancient Egyptians believed in life after death. But they also believed that a person couldn’t live forever unless the dead body stayed in good condition. So Egyptians tried to preserve the bodies of the dead. These preserved bodies are called mummies. By studying mummies (and written records), today’s scientists have learned how they were made.
To make a mummy, priests first opened up the dead body. Then they removed most of its organs. Organs were dried and placed in special jars. Next, the inside of the body was washed. It was also packed with linen or sawdust and sewn up. Then, the body was covered in a powder called natron. It took 40 days for this salt-like substance to dry out the body. Finally, the body was wrapped in linen bandages and put in a coffin.
A few mummies were placed in pyramids. But most were buried in special tombs. The ancient Egyptians knew what they were doing. Many of the discovered mummies have been in good condition. For example, Zahi Hawass, a mummy expert, discovered the mummy of a well-known governor. It was inside a limestone coffin.
【題組】33 Which of the following is NOT a step in making mummies?
(A)Removing most of the organs of the dead.
(B)Washing the inside of the body.
(C)Covering the body with natron.
(D)Leaving the body out in the sun to dry.

An emergency call comes in about a possible bomb in lower Manhattan and an alert pops up on computer screens at the New York Police Department, instantly showing officers an interactive map of the neighborhood, footage from nearby security cameras, whether there are high radiation levels and whether any other threats have been made against the city. In a click, police know exactly what they're getting into. Such a hypothetical scenario may seem like something out of a futuristic crime drama, but the technology is real, developed in a partnership between America's largest police department and Microsoft Corp., and the latest version has been quietly in use for about a year. The project could pay off in more ways than one: The NYPD could make tens of millions of dollars under an unprecedented marketing deal that allows Microsoft to sell the system to other law enforcement agencies and civilian companies around the world. The city will get a 30 percent cut. The Domain Awareness System, known as the dashboard, gives easy access to the police department's voluminous arrest records, emergency calls, more than 3,000 security cameras citywide, license plate readers and portable radiation detectors -- data that raises privacy concerns for some civil liberties groups. But the dashboard system mines existing tools and doesn't create any new surveillance. Right now, it is used only in NYPD offices, mostly in the counterterrorism unit. Eventually, the system could supply crime-fighting information in real time to officers on laptops in their squad cars and on mobile devices while they walk the beat.
【題組】59 Why could the project of the dashboard pay off in more than one way?
(A) Microsoft would donate their profit to the city of New York.
(B) The NYPD could get much income from the sales the system.
(C) The project of the dashboard would also lead to futuristic crime drama business.
(D) The project of the dashboard would bring cooperation with civilian companies.
