Early in the 20th century it was noticed that odd things were happening to some science experiments. Rays of a strange kind were reaching them. They were like X rays, but they were not X rays. Scientists wondered if the rays could be coming from far outside the earth. To find out, and to learn more about these strange rays, they went here, there, and everywhere studying them. They went into caves and into the great cracks in glaciers. They went deep down under the sea and up to the tops of high mountains. In balloons they went higher in the air than anyone had ever gone before. They even went into such out-of-the-way places as the mouth of a big cannon and the underside of great piles of salt. Finally they could say for certain that the rays come from out beyond the earth. They named them cosmic rays. Knowing about cosmic rays has proved useful in important ways. It brought about, for instance, the use of Carbon 14 in dating things from the past. And it has led to a far better understanding of the great universe around us.

Passage B Perhaps the most striking quality of satiric literature is its freshness, its originality of perspective. Satire rarely offers original ideas. Instead it presents the familiar in a new form. Satirists do not offer the world new philosophies. What they do is look at familiar conditions from a perspective that makes these conditions seem foolish, harmful or affected. Satire jars us out of complacence into a pleasantly shocked realization that many of the values we unquestioningly accept are false. Don Quixote makes chivalry seem absurd. Brave New World ridicules the pretensions of science. A Modest Proposal dramatizes starvation by advocating cannibalism. None of these ideas is original. Chivalry was suspected before Cervantes, humanists objected to the claims of pure science before Aldous Huxley and people were aware of famine before Swift. It was not the originality of the idea that made these satires popular. It was the manner of expression the satiric method that made them interesting and entertaining Satires are read because they are aesthetically satisfying works of art, not because they are morally wholesome or ethically instructive. They are stimulating and refreshing because with commonsense briskness they brush away illusions and secondhand opinions. With spontaneous irreverence, satire rearranges perspectives, scrambles familiar objects into incongruous juxtaposition and speaks in a personal idiom instead of abstract platitude. Satire exists because there is a need for it. It has lived because readers appreciate a refreshing stimulus, an irreverent reminder that they lived in a world of platitudinous thinking, cheap moralizing, and foolish philosophy. Satire serves to prod people into an awareness of truth. Satire tends to remind people that much of what they see, hear, and read in popular media is sanctimonious, sentimental, and only partially true. Life resembles in only a slight degree the popular image of it. Soldiers rarely hold the ideals that movies attribute to them, nor do ordinary citizens devote their lives to unselfish service of community. Intelligent people know these things but tend to forget them when they do not hear them expressed.

(A) They present commonsense solutions to problems
(B) They are appropriate for readers of all ages
(C) They are books with similar stories
(D) They are famous examples of satiric literature

IV. Reading Section: 26% Meteorite Impact and Dinosaur Extinction 1.There is increasing evidence that the impacts of meteorites have had important effects on Earth, particularly in the field of biological evolution. Such impacts continue to pose a natural hazard to life on Earth. Twice in the twentieth century, large meteorite objects are known to have collided with Earth. 2. If an impact is large enough, it can disturb the environment of the entire Earth and cause an ecological catastroph
(E) The best-documented such impact took place 65 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous period of geological history. This break in Earth’s history is marked by a mass extinction, when as many as half the species on the planet became extinct. While there are a dozen or more mass extinctions in the geological record, the Cretaceous mass extinction has always intrigued paleontologists because it marks the end of the age of the dinosaurs. For tens of millions of years, those great creatures had flourishe
(D) Then, suddenly, they disappeare
(D) 3. The body that impacted Earth at the end of the Cretaceous period was a meteorite with a mass of more than a trillion tons and a diameter of at least 10 kilometers. Scientists first identified this impact in 1980 from the worldwide layer of sediment deposited from the dust cloud that enveloped the planet after the impact. This sediment layer is enriched in the rare metal iridium and other elements that are relatively abundant in a meteorite but very rare in the crust of Earth. Even diluted by the terrestrial material excavated from the crater, this component of meteorites is easily identifie
(D) By 1990 geologists had located the impact site itself in the Yucatán region of Mexico. The crater, now deeply buried in sediment, was originally about 200 kilometers in diameter. 4. This impact released an enormous amount of energy, excavating a crater about twice as large as the lunar crater Tycho. The explosion lifted about 100 trillion tons of dust into the atmosphere, as can be determined by measuring the thickness of the sediment layer formed when this dust settled to the surfac
(E) Such a quantity of material would have blocked the sunlight completely from reaching the surface, plunging Earth into a period of cold and darkness that lasted at least several months. The explosion is also calculated to have produced vast quantities of nitric acid and melted rock that sprayed out over much of Earth, starting widespread fires that must have consumed most terrestrial forests and grasslan
(D) Presumably, those environmental disasters could have been responsible for the mass extinction, including the death of the dinosaurs. 5. Several other mass extinctions in the geological record have been tentatively identified with large impacts, but none is so dramatic as the Cretaceous event. But even without such specific documentation, it is clear that impacts of this size do occur and that their results can be catastrophi
(C) What is a catastrophe for one group of living things, however, may create opportunities for another group. Following each mass extinction, there is a sudden evolutionary burst as new species develop to fill the ecological niches opened by the event. 6. Impacts by meteorites represent one mechanism that could cause global catastrophes and seriously influence the evolution of life all over the planet. According to some estimates, the majority of all extinctions of species may be due to such impacts. Such a perspective fundamentally changes our view of biological evolution. The standard criterion for the survival of a species is its success in competing with other species and adapting to slowly changing environments. Yet an equally important criterion is the ability of a species to survive random global ecological catastrophes due to impacts. 7. Earth is a target in a cosmic shooting gallery, subject to random violent events that were unsuspected a few decades ago. In 1991 the United States Congress asked NASA to investigate the hazard posed today by large impacts on Earth. The group conducting the 55 study concluded from a detailed analysis that impacts from meteorites can indeed be hazardous. Although there is always some risk that a large impact could occur, careful study shows that this risk is quite small.

III. Discourse 5%

Around the world, desserts are the sweetest part of the dining experience, and Japan is certainly a culture of dessert lovers as well. __(31)__ Wagashi, the Japanese desserts, are enjoyed quite frequently along with green tea at restaurants, cafés, and even temples and gardens. In addition, these desserts are offered for sale at a variety of supermarkets, department stores, convenience stores, and food stands.

__(32)__ Originally, desserts were primarily just fruits and nuts. Later, the technology of processing grains was imported from China, which led to the creation of mochi and dango, sweet Japanese dumplings made from rice. However, it was trade with Portugal and Spain that resulted in the introduction of other flavors and a sweeter taste for Japanese desserts due to the increased use of sugar. At first, wagashi was mostly eaten by the wealthy. It wasn’t until the Edo period from 1603 to 1867 that the average Japanese person had the opportunity to enjoy wagashi.

Today, wagashi can be divided into three categories, depending on how much moisture the desserts have and the way they are produced. __(33)__ So try them all to find your favorite type of wagashi and explore all the flavors of dessert that Japanese cuisine has to offer.

One of the biggest compliments that can be paid to a chef is to call his or her food creation a work of art. There are many talented people in the food industry around the globe, but it seems that with wagashi, the Japanese have taken the concept of “food-as-art” to a higher level. While taste is of course a very important element of wagashi, other artistic aspects are also crucial to the creation of the treats. __(34)__

In terms of appearance, special care is taken to make desserts that are both visually pleasing and thought-provoking. For example, a type of wagashi called yokan can sometimes feature designs like Mount Fuji or a flower so that when sliced, it would have the same image wherever it was cut. For even more visual appeal, colors are added and changed to reflect the seasons. Regarding the sense of touch, wagashi are available in several different textures, from soft to crispy. When it comes to smell, each treat has a particular fragrance that evokes certain feelings. __(35)__

For those interested in learning how to create wagashi, there are culinary schools where the art and skills are taught. The Kyoto Pastry Art College offers five courses related to dessert making. The program lasts for one year, but it has been said that wagashi may take a decade to truly master.

(AB)What’s more, the names given to the individual wagashi create a sense of sound, with many referring to things in nature or well-known poems.

(AC)Japan’s custom of enjoying wagashi dates back thousands of years to the Yayoi period, which lasted from about 300 BCE to 300 CE.

(AD) Rich in history, symbolism, and design, wagashi are Japan’s essential tasty treats!

(AE)In fact, eating tasty sweet treats is closely linked to another one of the nation’s iconic activities: the tea ceremony.

(BC) Meanwhile, it only takes a second to pop one in your mouth and enjoy the sensation!

(BD) In fact, when crafting wagashi, pastry chefs pay tribute to the other four senses: sight, hearing, touch, and smell.

(BE)For instance, mochi have a chewy consistency, while senbei are dry and crunchy like crackers.

29~32 題為一題組 Despite its reputation for hi-tech wizardry, Japan can be stubbornly analogue. When the pandemic hit, only 40% of Japanese firms had used digitized contracts at all and just 30% had systems in place to enable remote working. Faxes remain ubiquitous; in many prefectures, doctors have been faxing coronavirus test results to public-health officials. The pandemic has also exposed Japan Inc’s unusually heavy reliance on face-to-face communication. Meeting clients or business partners in person is de rigueur. The Japanese style of collective decision-making depends on people huddling in a room together. Salarymen and women put in long days in the office to demonstrate their dedication to their company and colleagues—and then late nights of sake-fueled carousing to build camaraderie. Some firms are responding. Covid-19 is a headwind for revenues, but a tailwind “in terms of culture”, says Hagiwara Shinichi, boss of Mitsui Foods, a big wholesaler. He has instructed staff to hold regular Zoom meetings. Many firms are shifting to digital contracts. Virtual drinking parties, or Zoom-nomi, are all the rage; as Honda Masakazu, a columnist, recently put it on Toyo Keizai, a business-news site, “You don’t have to worry about catching the last train.” So far the changes have been halting and uneven. Large Japanese companies are shifting to flexible work regimes more rapidly; they were more likely to have computer systems in place, as well as cash on hand to make up for lost revenues and pay for investment in hardware and software. Small and medium-sized firms “don’t have that luxury”, admits Mr. Hagiwara. The evolution may not endure. Once restrictions are relaxed, managers may demand to see their subordinates back at their desks. On April 27th the prime minister, Abe Shinzo, called for a rapid review of the practice. Even his minister of technology policy conceded that their traditional culture presents an obstacle to teleworking.
