二、Please translate the following paragraph into English.
為提升工作效能，臺灣水上警察可加強科技應用，如引進無人機與先 進雷達系統進行海域巡查，以提高監控效率。擴編人力與改善勤務排 班可減輕執勤壓力。強化跨部門合作，如整合海巡、移民與地方政府 資源，有助提升執法與救援反應速度。定期舉辦專業訓練與實戰演練， 對提升應變與執法能力至為重要。與在地漁民、觀光業者建立良好溝 通可增進合作與理解，因此建立良好執法環境。最後，更新設備與船 艇可確保執勤安全與效率。

一、Please translate the following paragraph into Chinese.
Expertise in marine meteorology constitutes an indispensable asset for the Taiwan Coast Guard Administration (CGA), enabling it to operate proficiently within Taiwan’s volatile and multifaceted maritime domain. Precise meteorological forecasting coupled with continuous real-time oceanographic surveillance empowers the CGA to orchestrate patrols with heightened safety and operational efficiency, execute search and rescue missions with optimal timing, and mount rapid responses to meteorological calamities such as typhoons. Comprehensive understanding of hydrodynamic phenomena, such as ocean currents, wave dynamics, and prevailing wind regimes, substantially mitigates operational hazards for personnel and vessels alike. Also, this specialized acumen underpins strategic decision-making in law enforcement and environmental stewardship, thereby augmenting overall mission readiness. In brief, the systematic integration of marine meteorological insights significantly enhances the Coast Guard’s capacity to ensure maritime security and safeguard human life.

二、英文作文：（15 分） 在類似 2009 年莫拉克颱風所造成的小林村極端氣候災害中，消防人 員的訓練與社區韌性在永續災害風險降低方面可扮演關鍵角色。請寫 一篇文長約 250 字的短文說明之。

40. Cells convert external nutrients as sources of energy into biologically universal, intracellular, chemical energy carrier, adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Which of the following descriptions about cellular energetics are CORRECT? (A) Glucose oxidation in eukaryotic cells can be divided into four stages: glycolysis, citric acid cycle, electron transport chain and ATP synthesis, where all take place in mitochondria. (B) The oxidation of short- to long-chain fatty acids occurs in mitochondria with production of ATP, whereas oxidation of very long-chain fatty acids occurs primarily in peroxisomes and is not linked to ATP production. (C) The rate of glucose oxidation via glycolysis is regulated by the inhibition or stimulation of several enzymes, depending on the cell's need for ATP. (D) Neither glycolysis nor the citric acid cycle directly use molecular oxygen. (E) ATP synthase catalyzes ATP synthesis as electron flow through the inner mitochondrial membrane down their electrochemical gradient.

39. The existence of water channel had been proposed since 1970 but was eventually identified till 1992 by Peter Agre. Which of the following sentences could support the existing of water channel on the membrane of a cell? (A) The transport of water is ATP-independent. (B) Red blood cells, but not the frog eggs, swell with water. (C) Mercurials would inhibit water transport in red blood cells. (D) There is a maximal rate (Vmax) for water transport of red blood cells. (E) Water (H2O) crosses through the red blood cell membrane with almost no resistance, while acid hydronium ion (H3O+) does not permeate.

38. Plasma membrane defines the cell and separates the inside from the outside. Which of the following descriptions about the characteristics of biomembranes are CORRECT? (A) Biomemrbranes contain three principle classes of lipids: phosphoglycerides, sphingolipids and sterols. (B) Most lipids and many proteins are laterally mobile in biomembranes. (C) The asymmetry of lipid composition across the membrane bilayer is a characteristic of all biomembranes, yet the lipid composition would not influence the physical properties of membranes. (D) The shape of membrane can be changed by transmembrane or peripheral membrane proteins. (E) Lipid droplets are storage vesicles for lipids, originating in the ER.
