Spring is the most beautiful time of the year to visit Rome—flowers begin to bloom, café tables reappear on bustling sidewalks, and crowds of summer tourists are yet to arrive. Before dawn, head up to the Janiculum Hill to catch the sunrise. From here you’ll be able to see the Vatican, Pantheon, Colosseum, and Borghese Gardens. Then you can stroll through the oldest morning market, Campo di Fiori, to pick up some fresh fruit and flowers. Proceed from the Campo towards the Pantheon. Built in A.D. 124 as a temple to all the gods of Rome, the Pantheon remains today as a Catholic church and a tomb for Italian celebrities, such as the artist Raphael and King Vittorio Emmanuelle II. Around the Pantheon, you can’t miss the best Italian coffee. Romans are passionately divided as to who makes the best cup: Sant Eustachio, steps behind the Pantheon, or Tazza d’Oro, a few feet in front of the Pantheon. Take your coffee in the traditional Italian way: standing up at the bar. Spend the rest of the morning exploring St. Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican Museums. Vatican City is full of extraordinary artworks and monuments of history. Don’t forget to climb to the top of St. Peter’s for an incredible view. In the afternoon, head to the Borghese for a leisurely stroll through the garden. If you are in the mood for shopping, head down the Via Babuino towards the Spanish Steps. Essential to any afternoon in Rome are a few scoops of ice cream. Go to the renowned Giolitti, in the Piazza Colonna, and try their 40 flavors of ice cream. You may see Italian politicians flocking here between their government meetings.

In both civil and criminal court cases in the United States, a jury is called to give a verdict. The jury is made up of members of the general population—individuals who typically have little or no legal training. Such a jury is valued because it offers a trial by one’s peers. In preparation for hearing a court case, a jury must understand the presumption of innocence and the burden of proof. Before a legal trial, an explanation is read to jurors, as follows: “The defendant enters this courtroom as an innocent person, and you must consider him to be an innocent person until the State convinces you beyond a reasonable doubt that he is guilty of every element of the alleged offense. If, after all the evidence and arguments, you have a reasonable doubt as to the defendant’s having committed any one or more of the elements of the offense, then you must find him not guilty.”
In determining whether or not the State has proven the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, jury members should be guided only by a full and fair evaluation of the evidence. Jurors should not be influenced by their own personal bias or sympathy.

We stand now where two roads diverge. But unlike the roads in Robert Frost’s familiar poem, they are not equally fair. The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies 41 . The other fork of the road—the one “less traveled by”— offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the 42 of our earth. The choice is ours to make. If, having endured much, we have at last asserted our “right to know,” and 43 , knowing, we have concluded that we are being asked to take senseless and frightening risks, then we should no longer accept the counsel of those who tell us that we must fill our world with poisonous chemicals; we should look about and see what other course is open to us. A truly extraordinary variety of 44 to the chemical control of insects are available. Some are already in use and have achieved brilliant success. Others are in the stage of laboratory testing. Still others are little more than ideas in the minds of imaginative scientists, waiting for the opportunity to put them to the test.

請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題： Next time you watch a digital ad in a mall, be aware that the ad could be watching you! Small cameras and special software are installed in the ad’s screen. They track who is looking at the ad and for how long. The software works out age and gender before serving up an ad specifically for that demographic. Men are shown razor ads, women can see cosmetics ads, and teens can learn about the latest video games. This targeted advertising creates a personalized digital city for consumers. Some people don’t like it, though. In Germany, a supermarket chain used loyalty cards implanted with RFID tracking chips to learn about its customers’ shopping habits. The chips let the store know customers’ purchasing histories and even their movements inside the stores. The chips were removed after people complained their privacy was being invaded. These new technologies are raising red flags about how far companies are willing to go to make a profit. Consumers have no idea when they’re being watched, and there’s no regulation in place to deal with these practices. Privacy campaigners urge companies to tell consumers what details are being collected, how it is done, and why. Even though it is meant to make data-analyzing convenient, the spying ends up being a little creepy.
【題組】48 What happened when a German supermarket chain started using RFID chips?
(A) Customers knew about each other’s purchasing histories.
(B) Shopping became more convenient for customers.
(C) Customers moved around the supermarkets more easily.
(D) Customers complained about their privacy being invaded.

請依下文回答第 21 題至第 25 題 “Exercising may be the best antidote to chronic pain,” say doctors at a new clinic for dealing with pain. “People with chronic pain need to stop lying around, go out more and start exercising.” To most people, the intuitive reaction to acute pain is to stop moving and to try to protect the source of pain. But it seems that this is often counterproductive, especially in the case of back pain, which after headaches and tiredness, has become the third most common reason for people to visit their doctors. Painful backs now account for millions of days off work. Lack of exercise slowly decreases the flexibility and strength of muscles, so it is more difficult to take pressure off the site of pain. Exercise is essential. It releases endorphins, the body’s “feel-good” chemicals, which are natural painkillers. In fact, these are so important that researchers are now looking for drugs that can maintain an optimum level of endorphins in the body. Most patients are prescribed drugs rather than exercise. However, since finding the cause of backache is not so easy, doctors frequently do not know the exact cause of the discomfort, and as the pain continues, patients end up taking stronger doses or a series of different drugs.

A generation of new pain clinics now operates on the basis that drugs are best avoided. Once patients have undergone the initial physical and psychological check up, their medication is cut down as much as possible. Taking patients off drugs also prepares them for physical activity by making them more physically and mentally alert. In some pain-relief clinics, patients begin the day with muscle contraction and relaxation exercises, followed by an hour on exercise bikes. Later in the day, they practice t’ai chi, a Chinese system of calisthenics, self-defense, and meditation. This compares with an average of two-and-a-half hours’ physiotherapy a week in a conventional hospital program. “The idea is to strengthen and to increase stamina, flexibility and confidence,” explains Bill Wiles, a consultant pain doctor in Liverpool. “Patients undergoing this therapy get back to work and resume healthy active lifestyles much sooner than those subjected to more conservative treatment”.

【題組】24 When a patient visits a new pain clinic, what is he likely advised to do?
(A) To decrease endorphins.
(B) To reduce the amount of medicine he is taking.
(C) To protect the source of pain.
(D) To lie down to get enough sleep.
