Passage 2
In the past, there was a stigma associated with homeschooling because it was traditionally for students who had behavioral
or learning 24 and could not keep up with the rest of the class. Today, there are many compelling arguments for educating
one’s children at home. Some of them stem from 25 with the mainstream education system. Teacher shortages and lack of
funding mean that, in many schools, one teacher is responsible for 30 or 40 pupils; children are often 26 the attention they
need. Bullying and increasing classroom violence have also motivated some parents to remove their children from school. To
these parents, homeschooling provides a way for them to monitor their children’s education more closely. Children can also
choose what and when to study, thus 27 them to learn at their own pace. Advocates of homeschooling point out that
homeschooled children do just as well or better than those who are classroom-taught, and a striking number gain 28 to
prestigious universities.

四、閱讀測驗 (36~50 題，請選擇最適當的選項。)
Passage 1
The invention of the electric telegraph gave birth to the communications industry. Although Samuel B. Morse succeeded in
making the invention useful in 1837, it was not until 1843 that the first telegraph line of consequence was constructed. By 1860
more than 50,000 miles of lines connected people east of the Rockies. The following year, San Francisco was added to the
network.
The national telegraph network fortified the ties between East and West and contributed to the repaid expansion of the
railroads by providing an efficient means to monitor schedules and routes. Furthermore, the extension of the telegraph, combined
with the invention of the steam-driven rotary printing press by Richard M. Hoe in 1846, revolutionized the world of journalism.
Where the business of news gathering had been dependent upon the mail and on hand-operated presses, the telegraph expanded
the amount of information a newspaper could supply and allowed for more timely reporting. The establishment of the Associated
Press as a central wire service in 1846 marked the advent of a new era in journalism.
36. According to the passage, how did the telegraph enhance the business of news gathering?
Ⓐ By monitoring schedules and routes for the railroads Ⓑ By expanding the railroads
Ⓒ By allowing for more timely reporting Ⓓ By adding San Francisco to the network
37. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
Ⓐ Morse’s invention did not immediately achieve its full potential
Ⓑ Morse did not make a significant contribution to the communications industry
Ⓒ the extension of the telegraph was more important than its invention
Ⓓ journalists have the Associated Press to thank for the birth of the communications industry
38. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about the growth of the communications industry?
Ⓐ The telegraph helped connect the entire nation.
Ⓑ People could use the telegraph in San Francisco in 1861.
Ⓒ Morse invented the telegraph in 1837.
Ⓓ The telegraph lead to the invention of the rotary printing press.
Passage 2
Globalization is the integration of international trades, products, business ties, cultures and etc. Since the 1970s, more and
more countries have opened their markets for each other and helped transform the world economy into a free global market.
Based on the World Bank’s report, one of its major proponents, economic globalization has reaped many benefits and helped
reduce poverty in many developing countries. Globalization advocates claim that economies in developing countries have
received many benefits from new opportunities that they can promote their goods worldwide through the internet. Research also

shows that with the integration of local economies into the world economy, there has been a great income increase in twenty four
countries with more than three billion people of their population.
However, critics suggest that economic globalization is actually harming the local economy and is widening the gap
between the rich and the poor. For instance, with large-scale manufacturers begin to produce the same goods in a more efficient
way or when big companies like COSTCO or Carrefour get in the local areas, home-based businesses and small businesses will
be crowded out for sure. Moreover, the poor people, the illiterate, unskilled workers, and aboriginal peoples in the developing
countries never benefit from the integration of world economy.
Despite the pros and cons of globalization, there seem to be no turning back on this issue. With the advances in technology,
we are already living in an interconnected world that allows us to exchange goods and ideas. The real challenge now is to figure
out a way to create a fair global market that benefit all.
39. What is the best title for this passage?
Ⓐ The benefit of globalization for the world as a whole Ⓑ The benefit of globalization in developing countries
Ⓒ Globalization, Pros and Cons Ⓓ The historical origins of globalization
40. According to the World Bank’s report, what is the major benefit from globalization?
Ⓐ It reduces people’s salaries. Ⓑ It puts people to work.
Ⓒ It improves the quality of people’s lives. Ⓓ It allows more job opportunities.
41. What does the word “advocates” refer to?
Ⓐ supporters Ⓑ opponents Ⓒ enemies Ⓓ intruders
42. In the passage, what does the phrase “crowded out” refer to?
Ⓐ find out a solution Ⓑ get out of globalization
Ⓒ bring out the best in people Ⓓ put out of business
43. What is the conclusion for this passage?
Ⓐ Globalization is beneficial for developing countries.
Ⓑ Globalization should take everyone’s interest into consideration.
Ⓒ Globalization is bad for developing countries.
Ⓓ Globalization will fail.
Passage 3
What used to be thought of as prestigious is now being considered as a toxic asset. Student loan debt is soaring as the
rising generation is diving head first into an era where young adults are unable to save and invest their money. This isn’t only
taking a toll on their personal lives, but it is causing long-term harm to America’s economy.
Student debt is climbing every year. This is limiting graduates’ income and holding them back from buying a home, a car,
and even from getting married. A report issued by John Burns estimates that the heavy debt is reducing home sales by 8 percent.
In fact, every $250 paid towards student loan debt reduces the amount that a consumer can borrow for a mortgage by $44,000.
According to USA Today, a new study from student aid experts, based on government financial data, shows the average debt is
now $33,000. The hole we are digging our graduates in just keeps getting deeper and deeper with very little hope.
44. What does the word “toxic” mean?
Ⓐ harmful Ⓑ indifferent Ⓒ tasteful Ⓓ functioning
45. According to the report, which is true?
Ⓐ The reporter encourages students in America to apply for tuition loan.
Ⓑ Student loan debt helps boom American economy.
Ⓒ Fewer students involve loan debts in Europe.
Ⓓ Student loan debt causes long term harm to America’s economy.

Passage 4
Modern technology has changed our everyday life drastically. For example, with the advance of internet technology,
written communications are conducted in electronic form and the delivery time is no more than a few seconds, even from one
country to another.
Computer technology has also made it possible to run a house electronically. From turning lights on and off on a regular
schedule to starting the coffee and cooking the hot cereal, computers are taking care of people at home. Many modern machines
(e.g., kitchen appliances) contain computer chips that allow their owners to program them. For instance, you can “instruct” a
microwave oven how to cook a certain dish. You can program your electric or gas range, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer,
etc., to “do the housework” on their own. Most entertainment equipment operates with computer technology too: some examples
are radios, television sets, VCRs (i.e., videocassette recorders), which can be set up electronically to go on and off, go to certain
channels or stations, record specific programs at certain times, and so on. Computers can even start cars automatically so that on
cold winter mornings you can get into a warmed-up vehicle and drive off. And of course, the typical U.S. family has a
microcomputer (a computer that fits on a table or desk) in their home, which they use for everything from keeping household
records and writing letters to playing computer games.
Although much of the technology in our everyday lives has positive effects, there are some uses that raise controversial
issues and questions. For example, are interactive media (i.e., a combination of television, telephone and computer) going to
control minds, destroy privacy, and cause people to forget about family life and personal relationships? What effects will the
genetic engineering of foods (e.g., changing the gene structure of fruits and vegetables) have on people’s health? High-tech
medical treatments (organ transplants, changing the gene structure, etc.) can increase the longevity of individuals, but can they
improve the health and happiness of human beings in general? Only time will tell, but in the meantime, science and technology
will continue to move forward.
48. These paragraphs would most likely appear in ____.
Ⓐ a novel Ⓑ a technology textbook Ⓒ a science fiction Ⓓ a poem
49. What is the overall message of these paragraphs?
Ⓐ Longevity is the ultimate goal of technology.
Ⓑ Convenience is the ultimate goal of technology.
Ⓒ Technology will continue to influence our everyday life.
Ⓓ In general, technology has negative effects on people’s life styles.
50. What would be the best title for these paragraphs?
Ⓐ How to prevent abuses of modern technology Ⓑ How to run a house electronically
Ⓒ Written communications and modern technology Ⓓ Technology and everyday life
