　　China completed the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Railroad in 2006. This 1,142-km railroad line runs across the snow-covered Plateau of Tibet, effectively linking the Tibetan capital, Lhasa, to the northwestern province of Qinghai. Also known as the Pan-Himalayan Railroad, this record-breaking railroad rises to 5,072 meters, earning the title as the world's highest passenger train with more than eighty percent of the track 13,000 feet or 3,962 meters above sea level.
　　The Qinghai-Tibet Railroad is a great engineering achievement. Since it was built at high altitudes, both engineers and workers had to breathe bottled oxygen for fear of altitude sickness while working on the construction of the track. Additionally, there were many other challenges they had to cope with, including the soil that can rise and sink as the season changes. Some sections of track had to be laid on ground that is permanently frozen. Due to global warming, the rising temperatures may cause this permafrost to melt, making the land sink to a lower level. The track may become bent or curved as a consequence. Nevertheless, some smart countermeasures were taken so that the engineers managed to cool off the roadbed by keeping the permafrost stable.
　　The cost savings to travelers resulting from the completion and operation of the Qinghai-Tibet Railroad are tremendous. Compared with typical fares for direct air travel, a typical train fare between Beijing and Lhasa is much cheaper. Moreover, travelers get to enjoy the magnificent sights and scenery along the way, making the long trip more than worthwhile. It is hoped that with better linkage to the world, the tourism industry will play an increasingly important role in Tibet's economy.
【題組】49 Which of the following is one of the challenges engineers and workers had to face during the construction of the Qinghai-Tibet Railroad?
(A) Travelers from Beijing may suffer altitude sickness in Lhasa.
(B) The idea of a train trip is not as appealing as that of air travel.
(C) The tourism industry is impossible on the snow-covered permafrost.
(D) The railroad track may become bent or curved if frozen ground melts.

請依下文回答第 47 題至第 50 題： Japan has long been a pioneer in high-speed rail. It introduced bullet train, or Sinkansen, to the world in 1964 on the eve of the Tokyo Olympics. But other countries have caught up. France and Germany developed high-speed trains that matched the Japanese speeds. China has built a high-speed network that surpasses Japan’s in its reach if not its speed. Japan plans to begin construction of its first intercity maglev line next year, linking Tokyo with Nagoya and, eventually, Osaka. In tests, the Japanese maglev has reached speeds up to 580 kilometers an hour, the world record for a train. When it comes to maglev, though, there is still question of credibility. With the Japanese maglev, levitation occurs about 145 kilometers an hour. That is when the wheels, shod with rubber tires, lift off the concrete guideway. Then the maglev train floats 10 centimeters about the U-shaped guideway, held aloft and propelled toward by superconducting magnets. In Japan, many remain skeptical of the financial feasibility of the Tokyo-Osaka maglev line. The Tokyo-Nagoya portion is expected to be completed by 2027, with the Nagoya-Osaka stretch to follow in 2045. By that time the population of Japan will have declined to about 105 million from the current 127 million.
【題組】50 According to the passage, why will the construction of Tokyo-Osaka maglev line not make business sense?
(A)It takes too many years to complete the construction.
(B)The decline of population will reduce the demand for mass transportation.
(C)The construction cost will escalate in 2045.
(D)The line will stretch to the most populous region in Japan.

        The idea of parallel universes, worlds that exist side by side along with our own, used to be viewed with suspicion by scientists as being the realm of cranks and at best, mystics. Any scientists who dared to work on parallel universes were often subject to ridicule.
        However, the tide has turned dramatically today and the issue of parallel universes has come to fascinate scientists well beyond mere speculation. Physicists and astronomers around the world are now wondering what parallel universes may look like and how they were born. It has been postulated that parallel universes occupy the same space as our own in some ghostly manner.
        Like our own universe, a parallel universe is an intersection of time and space and contains matter, stars, galaxies, and living things. In other words, parallel universes are very similar to our own. There may be human beings who are duplicates of ourselves. Furthermore, they are connected to us multidimensionally through mechanisms explainable only by the theory of quantum physics. Normally, parallel universes do not interact with each other. However, some scientists believe that at times the so-called wormholes may open up, making it possible to communicate and travel between them.
        It is very likely that our universe is not alone at all. Instead, it is one of many possible parallel universes. Still, some scientists smugly refuse to admit that parallel universes or dimensions can exist next to ours, just beyond our grasp.

【題組】 39 Where is a parallel universe most likely to be found according to this passage?
(A) A system where no wormhole exists.
(B) The same space as our own universe.
(C) A plane in which galaxies can be found.
(D) The birthplace of physicists and astronomers.
