You needn’t have tried aromatherapy to understand the therapeutic powers of essential oils. These magical liquids, 26
from a range of aromatic plants, offer a truly holistic therapy, because they work on both body and mind. When you put 27
oils in your evening bath to help you to relax, you are recreating the rituals that are thousands of years old. Hippocrates claimed
that the secret of health was an aromatic bath and a scented massage every day. Cleopatra often took a jasmine bath, while other
Egyptians blended oils to use as medicines. In Shakespearean Britain, women spread rosemary and lavender on floors to 28
and purify rooms. Now it has been shown in various scientific studies that many of these essential oils have powerful anti-septic
and anti-bacterial actions. It seems that every essential oil consists of hundreds of chemicals, all with potential healing and
medicinal properties. When an oil is 29 , these chemicals enter the body’s system and bloodstream. Compared to drugs, oils
have relatively weak effects. But this in itself makes the oils safe remedies. For this reason, aromatherapy is often introduced as
treatment 30 conventional medicine, to complement mainstream medical practices.

四、閱讀測驗（31~50 題，根據文章內容選出最適當的選項）
Passage #1
Up until now, the U.S. insurance industry has achieved growth simply by focusing on the large domestic market. However, a
continued growth in the coming years will likely require an expansion to international business. In the next decade, we should
see a number of changes in the structure and operations of life and property insurers in particular. The domestic market may be
slowing down. However, with world markets continuing to open up, there are increased market opportunities for U.S. companies
overseas. Already enjoying a solid international reputation, the U.S. insurance industry should be in a good position to gain a
competitive advantage over foreign rivals. More advanced technological developments should also lead to increased efficiency
and productivity throughout the industry. In summary, new products, reduced costs, and a focus on international market will lead
to a more competitive U.S. insurance industry. This should spell good news for both insurers and customers alike.

(A) Increased business activities outside of the U.S. (B) Focusing more on the domestic market

Passage #2
Mesopotamia, meaning “land between the rivers,” is widely considered to be the cradle of civilization. It was here, in 5000
B.C., that people settled into an agricultural lifestyle by the mighty Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Because there was little rain, the
people depended on these rivers for their survival. The Mesopotamians created channels to distribute the flood waters that
flowed for a short duration each year to their crops. The efficiency of their irrigation systems allowed their society to flourish,
enabling them to create the world’s first towns and cities. At the center of each town stood a temple complex with food stores, a
treasury, and living spaces, all of which were incorporated into the overall design. Over time, these towns evolved into city-states,
eventually becoming an empire.
Soon there arose a need to keep reliable records of commodities traded, and out of this need, writing was born. The first
format that writing took was a code of symbols which corresponded to various items and numbers. These were carved into soft
clay and were known as cuneiform. This system proved to be very versatile and quickly spread to other uses. The Sumerian
scribes used it to record daily life and to write the first major literary work known to Western civilization. Perhaps the best
known of Mesopotamia’s civilizations was Babylon. During the second millennium B.C., it rose from a regional capital to
become the center of a kingdom that stretched across southern Iraq and beyond. Its king, Hammurabi, left his mark with a
remarkable collection of laws. Hammurabi’s code defined the constraints of private property, as well as legal decisions for
crimes, and family disputes.
Although it was eventually lost to the sands of time, Mesopotamia left a legacy of law, literature, and engineering for
modern civilizations to build on. In fact, much of what we know of that chapter in the region’s history has come from
excavations of ruined cities, supplemented by translations of ancient clay tablets.
36.Who were the first people to record their everyday life?
(A) The Babylonians (B) The Egyptians (C) The Iraqis (D) The Sumerians

Passage #3
Around the turn of the 20th century, the German physician Alois Alzheimer (1864-1915) described a debilitating brain cell
disease. This disease, later to bear his name, was both progressive and irreversible; that is, once the disease started, it slowly
destroyed brain tissue and made its victims progressively unable to remember dates or even recognize family members. In the
worst cases, patients were little better than vegetables.
The number of those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease increases because people are living longer. As many as a quarter of
those aged 80 years or older are afflicted with some degree of this life-robbing disease. Four million Americans suffer from this
disease.
A new study shows, however, that fish in the diet may prevent or at least slow down the onset of this terrible disease. Those
who eat fish may have a reduction in the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. The study shows that fish contains a fatty acid
called omega-3, closely associated with brain tissue health.

(A) becoming worse (B) becoming easygoing step by step
