Questions 33-35
The ROC Air Force has purchased a new “Air Force One,” the popular name for the aircraft used by senior officials of the ROC, including the president and vice-president. Like the previous “Air Force One,” which was leased from China Airlines, the new aircraft is a Boeing 737-800, which is capable of carrying up to 189 passengers and costs around US$45 million. It differs from the earlier aircraft, however, in its on-board instrumentation, which includes an advanced radar system and state-of-the-art communications equipment. In the event of a crisis, these facilities will enable the president to remain in contact with armed forces commanders while he is on board “Air Force One.” Two teams of ROC air force pilots will receive training in the US in using the new equipment before flying the aircraft back to Taiwan from there via Hawaii and Guam.

Questions 39–41
Over time, cacti literally reshaped themselves to fit their environment, by increasing their bulk and reducing the surface area they expose to the sun. Cacti stopped bearing leaves； they could no longer afford to supply broad-surfaced appendages with water. When the cacti dispensed with foliage, their stems and branches took over the leaves’ work of manufacturing food. By drawing energy from almost constant sunlight and moisture from their water-storing interior pulp, cacti can function all year round and flower even during lenghty droughts. Many other adaptations help cacti survive in a harsh environment. Their shallow, widespread root systems absorb maximum moisture in a region of brief rainstorms and thin quick-draining soil. The waxy finish on their tough skins retards moisture loss, and their armament of sharp spines affords protection from sun, wind and from the depredations of hungry, thirsty desert creatures.
【題組】39.What is the best title for this passage?
(A)The Habits of Flower Plants
(B)How the Cactus Became Extinct
(C)How Cacti Adjusted to Their Environment

(A)To discourage animals
(B)To produce food

42(　).

Questions 42–45
For thousands of years, Chinese artists have used a material called lacquer to prevent the surfaces of objects made of wood or other materials from being damaged. Many beautiful lacquer pieces can be found today in collections of Chinese art.
The process of producing a lacquer piece, however, is both difficult and long. To begin with, the original object must be made, perhaps a wooden bowl or vase with a design carved in its surface. Meanwhile, farmers collect raw, liquid lacquer from lacquer trees, each of which can produce only a small amount. After enough lacquer has been collected, a lacquer artist must then clean it by passing it through cloth and also beat it in order to remove excess water. The original color of the lacquer is not attractive so the artist next adds some other material to change the color to red or black. Now, the artist can put the first of many layers of lacquer onto the surface of the object. After the first layer is dry, he must polish it and then apply the next layer. When the last layer has been applied, the object will not only be beautiful, but also safeguarded against damage.
【題組】42.What is this passage mainly about?
(A)Collections of Chinese Art
(B)The Value of Lacquer Trees
(C)Evaluating artists’ skills
(D)Making of lacquer pieces

43(　).

【題組】43.What is the main function of lacquer in works of Chinese art?

(A)They are not attractive in appearance.
(B)Farmers find them difficult to grow.
(C)They were first grown in China.
(D)Individual trees produce little liquid.

45(　).

【題組】45.What does the writer of this passage imply about lacquer?
(A)The original color of lacquer is red or black.
(B)Applying the lacquer is a quick process.
(C)Lacquer has to be filtered after it is collected from trees.
(D)Water must be added to the lacquer before it is used.

Questions 46–50
One animal which has become extinct was once probably the most numerous bird in North America: the passenger pigeon. The passenger pigeon bred in the eastern part of the U.S. and Canada and often migrated to the southern U.S. during the winter months. The bird’s name came not from the migrations but from its highly visible movements in search of food. The passenger pigeons were social birds, traveling in amazingly large numbers that ranged from the millions to one or two billion.
Passing overhead on a broad front, a flock of birds could darken the sky as effectively as storm clouds for a period of hours. Passenger pigeons bred in huge colonies, and these colonies frequently covered many square miles. A hundred or more pairs of pigeons often nested in the same tree, each female laying a single egg. The birds lived mainly on wild seeds and nuts, but sometimes a flock would swoop down onto a field or a garden and eat everything in sight.
While vast numbers of passenger pigeons were recorded in the late nineteenth century, the population declined rapidly, and the last wild bird was shot in 1904. The swift disappearance of the bird remains a mystery, but a partial explanation is found in its habit of nesting and moving in a large flock. Farmers, who considered them pests, found it easy to catch hundreds at a time in nets. Also, as passenger pigeons were tasty game birds, market hunters shot hundreds of thousands on their nesting grounds. By 1900 the passenger pigeon was already rare.
【題組】46.What is the main subject of this article?
(A) The history of the passenger pigeon
(B) The life cycle of a passenger pigeon
(C) The migration habits of passenger pigeons
(D) The large market for passenger pigeons

47(　).

【題組】47.What made the passenger pigeon unique?
(A) Its decreased population
(B) Its custom of traveling in large groups
(C) Its winter migration habits
(D) Its sudden appearance before a storm

48(　).

【題組】48.When did the passenger pigeon disappear completely?
(A) In the early twentieth century
(B) In the late nineteenth century
(C) In the middle of 1900’s
(D) In the middle or late 1800’s

49(　).

【題組】49.According to the article, what fact about passenger pigeons is not fully understood?
(A) Their nesting habits
(B) Their social behavior
(C) Their flight patterns
(D) Their fast extinction

50(　).

【題組】50.Why did hunters find it easy to kill large numbers of pigeons?
(A)The birds’ movements are slow and highly visible.
(B)Large flocks would land and feed for several hours.
(C) Each breeding area contained a big bird colony.
(D) The birds would usually fly low after a storm.
