五、 閱讀測驗（31~50 題，請選擇最適當的選項。）
Passage 1
Since ancient times, people have practiced the art of physiognomy, or reading character from physical features. The ancient
Greeks compared the human face to the faces of various animals, such as the eagle and the horse. They believed people shared
certain character traits with the animals they resembled. A person with an equine, or horselike, face was thought to be loyal, brave,
and stern. A person with an aquiline, or eaglelike, nose was believed to be bold and courageous, as well as arrogant and
self-centered.
A related - though not as ancient - art is phrenology, the study of the bumps on the head. Phrenologists have identified 40
bumps of various shapes and sizes on the human head. They “read” these bumps to identify a person’s talents and character. For
example, a bump between the nose and forehead is said to be present in people who have natural elegance and a love of beauty. A
bump behind the curve of the ear is the sign of a courageous and adventurous person.
Phrenology was developed in the early eighteenth century by Franz Joseph Gall, a doctor in Vienna. His interest began at

school when he noticed that boys with prominent eyes seemed to have the best memories. This led him to believe that a
connection existed between appearance and ability. Dr. Gall’s research interested many people, but he was ridiculed by other
doctors. When he died in 1828, he was a poor and bitter man. It was only many years later that Dr. Gall’s theories found support
among some doctors and scientists, and today the art of phrenology has become more accepted.
31. What does the word “stern” mean?
(A) unhappy (B) faithful (C) confident (D) serious
32. Physiognomists believe that .
(A) physical features show personality.
(B) the eyes are the “mirror of the soul.”
(C) reading the bumps on people’s heads helps to treat their health problems.
(D) studying your face helps to improve your personality.
33. Regarding Dr. Gall’s ideas, which statement is true?
(A) His ideas are not discussed anymore.
(B) His ideas were immediately considered the work of a genius.
(C) His ideas were at first not accepted by other doctors.
(D) His ideas did not interest many people.
34. Which statement is true?
(A) Phrenology is a much more ancient art than physiognomy.
(B) The anceint Greeks compared the human face to those of animals.
(C) Dr. Gall was rewarded for his research later in life.
(D) Physiognomy is a modern practice.
35. Why did Dr. Gall want to study phrenology?
(A) He wanted to undertstand human behavior.
(B) He wanted to be famous and rich.
(C) He was bored.
(D) He was looking for a scientific way of explaining the connection between appearance and ability.
Passage 2
You may have the same shoe size as someone else. You may also have the same color eyes or hair. But there is one thing
that cannot be the same. That is your fingerprints. No two fingerprints are alike. The curving lines on each finger make a pattern.
Each print never changes, except to get bigger as you grow.
What good are fingerprints? First, they help us to hold things. You know how the lines on a tire help it grip the road.
Fingerprints help us grip things the same way. Fingerprints also help police identify people. Police look for fingerprints where a
crime has taken place. Dust is used to show the fingerprints. It can show prints on metal, wood, or even paper.
Before 1903, police did not use fingerprints. They identified people only by their pictures and body size. Then a strange
thing happened. Police found two prisoners in Kansas. One was named Will West. The other was named William West. Both men
looked the same. The only way to tell them apart was by checking their fingerprints.
36. Fingerprints never change except to get .
(A) darker (B) lighter (C) bigger (D) smaller
37. Without fingerprints, we might find it harder to .
(A) hold things (B) drop things (C) lift things (D) forget things
38. If police did not check fingerprints, they might .
(A) take more pictures (B) find more prisoners (C) use special dust (D) get people mixed up

Passage 3
You probably think you have to be big and buff to benefit from weight-lifting, but in reality, you do not. You just need to
learn how to weight train properly in order to get the results you want. Everyone wants a perfect body. For a guy, the ideal image
is broad shoulders, big pecs, and a six pack. For a girl, it is a well-toned body. But looking good on the outside is not necessarily
the same as being healthy on the inside. To be healthy, you need to eat a good diet and get lots of exercise. Weight-lifting can be
part of an exercise program, but it is important to distinguish weight-lifting facts from myths.
One myth about weight training is that you have to work out everyday. Muscle tissue needs at least 48 hours to recover
from hard exercise, so working the same muscle two days in a row is over-training and provides no benefit. Arnold
Schwarzenegger once said: “It is not how many hours you put in, it is what you put in the hours.” It is not good to strain your
muscles, but it is good to work out hard. Forty-five minutes to an hour in the gym four to five times per week is enough for young
people. Your body actually gains strength and mass while you rest, so it is also important to get plenty of sleep.
39. Which of the following statements is probably true according to the passage?
(A) Most people think that size does not matter in weight-lifting.
(B) To be healthy, weight-lifting is not enough.
(C) Both men and women have the same image of the ideal body.
(D) Weight-lifting should not be included in an exercise program.
40. According to the passage, which statement is probably INCORRECT?
(A) To work out everyday does not provide as much benefit to building muscle mass as many people think.
(B) Since your body actually gains strength and mass while you rest, you should work the same muscle every day.
(C) It is better to work hard in a shorter amount of time than to work lightly in a longer amount of time.
(D) If you exercise one muscle one day, you should not exercise the same muscle the following day.
41. What is the main idea of this passage?
(A) Every man and woman would like to have a perfect body.
(B) Having a well-toned body does not necessarily mean you are very healthy.
(C) Weight-lifting is a good way to lose weight.
(D) You should weight train properly in order to get the results you want.
Passage 4
Obesity is a common health problem. The criteria for obesity vary considerably. One simple, intermediate criterion is to
classify people as obese if their weight exceeds their ideal body weight by 20%. If this criterion is used, 31% of men and 35% of
women in the United States qualify as obese. Many experts prefer to assess obesity in terms of body mass index (BMI)—weight
(in kilograms) divided by height (in meters) squared (kg/m2
). This increasingly used index of weight controls for variations in
height. A BMI of 25.0-29.9 is typically regarded as overweight, and a BMI over 30 is considered obese. Although American
culture seems to be obsessed with slimness, recent surveys show surprisingly sharp increases in the incidence of obesity. If a BMI
over 25 is used as the cutoff, over 50% of American adults are struggling with weight problems!
Obesity is similar to smoking in that it exerts a relatively subtle impact on health that is easy for many people to ignore.
Nevertheless, the long-range effects of obesity can be quite dangerous. Obesity is a significant health problem that elevates one’s
mortality risk. Overweight people are more vulnerable than others to heart diseases, diabetes, hypertension, respiratory problems,
gallbladder diseases, stroke, arthritis, muscle and joint pain, and back problems.
42. Which of the following is NOT discussed in the passage?
(A) Obesity rate in the United States (B) Causes of obesity
(C) Measures of obesity (D) Effects of obesity
43. According to the information given in the passage, obesity and smoking are similar in that .
(A) they both can cause incurable diseases
(B) they are both risk factors that can shorten life span
(C) they are closely related and they have similar symptoms
(D) they both can cause health problems that may not be immediately apparent

44. The word “significant” in the passage is closest in meaning to ________.
(A) ambiguous (B) multi-faceted (C) noticeable (D) terrifying
45. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
(A) American society has an obsession with being thin so obesity rates have declined in recent years.
(B) Obese people are more likely than people of normal weight to develop serious health problems such as diabetes, heart
diseases and other health conditions.
(C) Being overweight can compromise your health, and even cause death.
(D) There are a number of different approaches to the measurement of obesity.
Passage 5
Work is easily measured by labor force participation rates—the percentage of a given population that is either working or is
actively seeking work (i.e., unemployed). Measuring retirement, however, is less straightforward, as retirement can be more of a
process than an event. Recent analysis found that at least one-third of older men and nearly half of older women used transitionary
“bridge” jobs before completely leaving the job market. In such instances, people transition from full-time work to part-time work
before retiring. People can also receive Social Security retirement benefits or other pension/retirement income yet still be
employed. In fact, the Current Population Survey indicates that 12 percent of elderly men and 7 percent of elderly women report
that in 2000 they worked yet still received pension income.
This leads to a variety of ways to measure retirement. Labor force participation rates provide one measure of potential
retirement behavior. More precisely, it is the change in rates which indicate changes in retirement behavior. One definition of the
average age of retirement is the age at which half of the population is in the labor force and the other half is out. Another indicator
is receipt of Social Security retirement benefits or other pension/retirement income. As mentioned, though, receipt of such
payments does not preclude continued employment. Economists typically classify someone as retired if the majority of their
income is from Social Security, pensions, and/or savings even if they still are in the paid workforce. Many retirement-based
surveys rely on how a respondent defines his or her retirement status.
46. The word “straightforward” in the passage is closest in meaning to ________.
(A) simple (B) ambiguous (C) complex (D) enigmatic
47. Which of the following is NOT discussed in the passage?
(A) Percentage of people who worked yet still received pension retirement income
(B) Ways to measure retirement
(C) Consequences of bridge employment
(D) Definition of average age of retirement
48. The word “preclude” in the passage is closest in meaning to ________.
(A) result in (B) contribute to (C) rule out (D) equal to
49. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
(A) The change in labor force participation rates can indicate the change in retirement behavior.
(B) A bridge job refers to part-time work people take after leaving a career but before retiring completely.
(C) It is possible for people to get retirement benefits while they are still working.
(D) Receipt of retirement benefits or pension income is required for continued employment.
50. Which of the following is NOT a way to measure retirement?
(A) One’s job transition plan
(B) One’s sources of income
(C) One’s eligibility to receive retirement benefits
(D) One’s self-reported retirement status
