Drinking coffee has become a crucial part of the daily routine of 110 million Americans. Over the past 20 years, over 19,000 studies have been conducted to examine the impact of coffee on one’s health. There appears to be both benefits and potential hazards associated with this drink. Some studies have shown that coffee may reduce the risk of diabetes. After analyzing data on 120,000 people over an 18-year period, researchers at Harvard have concluded that drinking 1 to 3 cups of coffee each day can reduce diabetes risk by several percentage points, compared with not drinking coffee at all. Caffeinated and decaffeinated coffees provide similar results, which suggests that a coffee component other than caffeine may have beneficial effects on blood sugar levels. Researchers also find that coffee can lower the risks of Parkinson’s disease, colon cancer, and gallstones. On the other hand, some researchers have found that coffee is not for everyone. In excessive amounts－meaning more than whatever one’s body can tolerate－coffee can decrease the flow of blood to the heart, increase blood pressure, and cause rapid heartbeat. In addition, pregnant women should limit their caffeine intake because fetuses are sensitive to caffeine.

【題組】48 What may happen if one drinks too much coffee?
(A) Heartbeat may slow down.
(B) Blood flow to the heart may decrease.
(C) Blood pressure may decrease.
(D) Body weight may drop quickly.

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】42 According to the passage, what can people do to reduce the use of pesticides?
(A)By growing less food
(B)By killing more parasites
(C)By going organic
(D)By making a new kind of chemicals

閱讀下文回答 37～41 題 We are all aware of the damage that modern industry can cause to the world’s ecology, but few people are aware of the 37 widely spoken languages have on other languages and ways of life. English has spread all over the world. Chinese, Spanish, Russian, and Hindi have become powerful languages as well. As these languages become more powerful, their use as tools of business and culture increases. As this happens, hundreds of languages that are spoken by a few die out all over the world. Scholars believe there are around 6,000 languages around the world, but more than half of them could 38 within the next 100 years. Aore is the language native to Vanuatu, located in the Pacific Ocean. Like Catawba before Red Thunder Cloud’s death, it is spoken by that island’s only remaining native inhabitant; so it, too, will soon be gone. A large number of Ethiopian languages are used by 39 numbers of people. Two speakers of the Ethiopian language Gafat were fine until a researcher took them out of their native jungle, at which point they caught a cold and died. In New Guinea, more than 100 languages could die out. When a plant, insect, or animal species dies, it is easy to understand what has been lost. 40 , language is only a product of the mind. To be the last remaining speaker of a language must be a peculiarly lonely destiny, almost as strange and terrible as being the last surviving member of a dying species. When a language vanishes, we lose the possibility of a 41 way of seeing and describing the world.
