According to some scientists, there will not be enough land to support the entire populationof Earth in the near future. They suggest that we should find somewhere else other than Earth tolive. While some scientists are thinking about building communities on the Moon and Mars,other scientists feel that independent space stations could bring more benefits.

So what is wrong with the Moon or Mars? First of all, the distances are a problem. TheMoon is about 240,000 miles from Earth, and Mars is over 35 million miles away. The journeyto the Moon takes about eight days, and the one to Mars takes from six to eight months. It willbe both time-consuming and dangerous to get settlers to these distant places. Moreover, it takesa message up to 44 minutes to go from Earth to Mars, making fast communication impossible.On the other hand, a space station circling Earth is just a few hours away. This makes the tripmuch cheaper and communication much easier. Furthermore, the darkness of night on the Moonand Mars is not a good thing either. On a space station, however, the sun's energy can be madeavailable to support people living there 24 hours a day.

【題組】44. Why is it better for people to live in space stations than in the communities on the Moon or Mars?
(A) Space stations can contain more people.
(B) The Moon and Mars are too close to the sun.
(C) Space stations are better able to use the sun’s energy.
(D) The Moon and Mars are too small for human communities.

When I was a child I had many toys, but the thing I remember best is three yards of gold-colored silk. This was my favorite plaything. My father had brought the material home one day, along with many other things, after one of his trips abroad. When he asked me what I wanted, I chose this piece of silk. Not only was it beautiful to look at, but also it was soft and smooth to touch. The three yards of gold-colored silk and I soon became inseparable. It was my passport into the world of fantasy. With it, I could become any character I had read or heard about by draping and twisting the silk into different costumes. One day I was Cinderella all dressed up for the ball, another day Little Red (Gold) Riding Hood, and still another day Wonder Woman or someone from another planet. Sometimes I was a bride or a princess, and other times I was a ballet dancer or a famous actress. I was an Indian woman in a sari, a South Sea Islander, and even once an Eskimo. I was anybody I wanted to be.

Today, I can still remember the wonderful sense of escape that it gave me. All my childhood toys and games are long since gone, but somewhere in a box at the bottom of a closet, there is still three yards of gold-colored silk.

【題組】44. According to the passage, which of the following is true?
(A) The author received the gold-colored silk as a birthday gift.
(B) The gold-colored silk was produced in the author’s own country.
(C) The gold-colored silk allowed the author to stretch imagination as far as it could go.
(D) The author decided to choose the gold-colored silk simply because it was a thing of beauty.

Have you ever heard the phrase “Big Brother is watching you” ? The twenty-first century has seen an increase in the chances of being watched or monitored, that is, an increase in surveillance, in our daily lives. People are getting used to being monitored by cameras, having private messages inspected at work, and having conversations recorded by banks or other businesses. Surveillance can be a form of monitoring via electronic devices, such as security cameras, or via Internet interception, such as email monitoring. Whether surveillance is useful for society is the current focus of public debate. For those who support surveillance, they think it helps to protect social security, while for those who disagree with it, they worry about some issues regarding how surveillance can be regulated.
For supporters, surveillance can be helpful for the authorities to gather information, prevent crimes, and protect citizens. They argue that surveillance is very important in terms of tracking criminals and terrorist activities. With the help of surveillance tools, information can be sent directly to a facial recognition system. This can, for example, automatically recognize suspects and direct the police to their location.
Nevertheless, for opponents, surveillance can be considered an invasion of privacy. For this reason, human rights activists have argued against it. When the purpose of surveillance is used mainly for monitoring, they have expressed deep concern that the society may turn out to be a mass surveillance society, with limited or even non-existent freedom. For instance, people may not have anything to hide when they are monitored by cameras. The authorities could make people obey the rules based only on what they have seen from the cameras without asking for opinions or permissions.
【題組】48. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
(A) The human rights of party activists.
(B) The method to inspect private emails.
(C) The reason for concern about monitoring.
(D) The changes made to protect our privacy.

Music is a powerful thing. When played properly, some music can have positive effects on learning and attitude. One way that music can make learning easier is by teaching people abstract reasoning and learning strategies. When learning music, people visualize the task in their head, and therefore exercise the same abstract skills that engineers, chess players, and high-level mathematicians use. Moreover, instruction in music skills and appreciation provides a wealth of learning strategies that help to develop children’s analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating skills. Another important aspect that music can have on learning for people of all ages is attitude. The highly repetitive structure of music helps children learn to trust themselves and enhance their self-confidence and sense of accomplishment. Thus, their attitude toward learning is dramatically increased. In addition to increasing positive attitude, listening to pleasant music in the background may ease the strain of an activity. Notice that when people listen to music in the background, it is very important that they listen to the music they are familiar and comfortable with. So in order for music to help us think, learn, and work, we need to know what kind of music to listen to.
【題組】41. The passage mainly discusses _______________.
(A) how music helps when people work and learn
(B) the importance of music to children and engineers
(C) the different structures of music
(D) how people learn to listen to music
