四、閱讀測驗（41-50 題，請選出最適當的選項）
Passage 1
While anxiety in its various forms has undoubtedly been with humans from time immemorial,
certain modern lifestyle factors may have exacerbated the problem, and anxiety management needs
to include a close analysis of lifestyle and thought patterns followed by appropriate modification.
During the past two decades, researchers have discovered that decreases in sleep time and quality
can cause changes in nervous systems. Notably, anxiety can be augmented by excessive caffeine,
alcohol, and recreational drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, and amphetamines. In particular, caffeine
use can profoundly raise the anxiety levels in those predisposed individuals, particularly the patients
with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Recent research has also empirically established that in
addition to food and fluid intake, factors such as social discrimination against obesity and physical
inactivity may also significantly aggravate anxiety.
41. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
(A) Poor sleep is related to anxiety.
(B) Too much caffeine can cause trouble sleeping.
(C) Anxiety level is associated with drug use.
(D) Sleeping problems may predispose some people to alcohol problems.
42. In the context of the passage, the word “augmented” most closely corresponds to which of the
following words?
(A) attacked (B) increased (C) audited (D) segmented
43. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a factor that can trigger anxiety or
make anxiety worse?

(A) Major psychological factors underlying anxiety disorder.
(B) Alcohol addiction treatment.
(C) The association of anxiety with unhealthy lifestyle.
(D) Signs and symptoms of anxiety disorder.
Passage 2
The trips to resorts in Florida, Arizona and California were a great chance for medics to network.
And the visits were all expenses paid. But such events laid the groundwork for a national crisis. From
1996 to 2001, American drug giant Purdue Pharma held more than 40 national “pain management
symposia” at picturesque locations. The healthcare professionals had been specially invited, whisked
to the conferences to be drilled on promotional materials about the firm’s new star drug, OxyContin,
and recruited as advocates, the US government later documented. But OxyContin was to become
ground zero in an opioid crisis that has now engulfed the United States.
The pill comprises oxycodone, a semi-synthetic opioid loosely related to morphine and
originally based on elements of the opium poppy. Such strong painkillers were traditionally used to
ease cancer pain, but beginning in the mid-1990s, pills based on oxycodone began being branded and
aggressively marketed for chronic pain instead—a nagging back injury from manual labor or a car
accident, for example.
Prescriptions issued for OxyContin in the US increased tenfold from 1996 to 2002. A bulletin
from the American Public Health Association in 2009, reviewing the rise of prescription opioids, is
titled, The promotion and marketing of OxyContin: Commercial triumph, public health tragedy. This
document also asserted that Purdue had played down the risks of addiction. By 2002, opioids
prescribed by doctors were killing 5,000 people a year in America and that number tripled over the
following decade.
46. What figurative language does the author apply in his/her use of quotation marks, as in “pain
management symposia”?
(A) metaphor (B) irony (C) overstatement (D) personification
47. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
(A) It is illegal to prescribe opioids in the mid-1990s in the US.
(B) Oxycodone was used to ease acute pain.
(C) Purdue Pharma did not tell the whole truth about OxyContin.
(D) Successful marketing strategies led to the high sales of OxyContin.

(A) Drug Addictions in America (B) America’s Opioid Crisis
(C) OxyContin: A Successful Business Story (D) Physiological Foundation of OxyContin
Passage 3
Advertisers are willing to pay top dollar for a good tune. It might seem strange for advertisers to
spend a large amount of money on music alone. After all, the direct connection between music in a
commercial and the amount of money the company will make from it is difficult to quantify. But
advertisers know that a memorable song will do most the work of catching and keeping people’s
attention, sometimes regardless of the product. Catching people’s attention can be much more
important to sales than trying to get any particular information across about the product or service
being advertised.
Music also has the power to be retained in a person’s memory long after it has been heard. We’ve
all had the experience of trying to get a catchy song out of our head. This phenomenon encourages
advertisers to use music to “get inside the heads” of customers. One very important reason for using
popular music and popstars in commercials is to have a direct message permeate a particular
demographic, or group, within the general population. For example, it doesn’t take a marketing whiz
to know that young people are the main consumers of soft drinks. This leads soft drink makers to
choose recording artists who are popular with young people to help sell their products. In the same
way, popular musicians and styles of music from the 1970s might be used to sell luxury cars or other
items for more sophisticated tastes.
49. The most important thing about making commercials is ________.
(A) choosing popular music producers (B) getting inside the heads of advertisers
(C) catching and keeping people’s attention (D) developing the ‘right’ product
50. Choosing effective music in commercials means to use music ________.
(A) that appeals to the targeted group of consumers
(B) only from the latest hits
(C) that symbolizes urban tastes
(D) that promotes social image
