Passage 1
When people think of the Arctic, they probably imagine a pure and beautiful – 21 harsh –
environment. So it is an unwelcome surprise, perhaps, that the region’s native animals and people
are among the most chemically contaminated on Earth.
Recently, various studies were conducted to 22 the levels of toxic chemicals in the bodies
of Arctic animals, as well as in the native Inuit people. The statistics are alarming. Both the animals,
and the Inuit who participated in the studies showed unusually high levels of man-made toxins.

be a vagrant due to his shabby appearance. 34 still, Beethoven’s doctor ordered him to move

Passage 1
Marco Polo undertook the journey to the Far East when he was only 15 years old. He traveled
with his father and uncle, and after the trip was over he completed a book about what he had seen. It
was full of information about the cultures and geography of the Asian lands he had visited this
remote part of the world before, Polo’s reports were unparalleled in their level of excitement and
detail.
Polo arrived home in Venice in 1295. Then, three years later, he was called to fight in a war
between the cities of Venice and Genoa and had the misfortune to be taken and held by the Genoan
side. While waiting to be freed, he met a writer named Rustichello da Pisa who greatly admired the
stories Polo told him. Rustichello da Pisa wrote them down in the form of a book that was published
and called The Description of the World or The Travels of Marco Polo. It became very popular and
was much admired by many people. However, some people did not believe it was true and said it
should be called The Million Lies. Despite this, the book contributed greatly to an increased interest
in the Far East.
Christopher Columbus knew about the travels of Marco Polo when he first sailed westward with
the objective of finding a new route to the Eastern lands in 1492. In fact, one writer at the time
claimed that Columbus had read and studied the book prior to asking Portugal to finance his voyage.
However, he may have got the information through word of mouth. A library in Seville has a
copy of Polo’s book that was owned by Columbus. It has notes written in it, possibly by Columbus
himself. However, these notes appear to have been written only after Columbus’s third trip to the
Americas, so did he read Polo’s book before 1492, or didn’t he? It’s up to future researchers to try
to discover the answer.

Passage 2
With more than 10 billion nerve cells, the human brain is by all odds the most complicated thing
in the universe. Scientists still know relatively little about how the brain works. Averagely, the adult
human brain weighs about three pounds and bulks the size of a grapefruit. In men the average
weight is about 1370g; in women about 1200g.
The brain is the physical organ most associated with mind, a non-technical term used to refer to
the functions of the brain like problem-solving and remembering. It is part of the invisible world of
thought, including cognitive aspects such as perception and imagination, as well as noncognitive
aspects such as emotion. No one knows yet how mind and brain are related. In other words, no one
knows much about what happens in the brain when it is functioning.
It is suggested that man ought to do better than he does with his much greater number of nerve
cells in that the ant achieves its marvelous community organization with only 250 nerve cells.
However, the ants run their society by instinct not by thought. In fact, it seems likely that ants
cannot think at all; they use their nerve cells for receiving impressions of the outside world, not for
coping with it.

Deep inside man’s brain is a core called “old brain,” which dinosaurs possessed millions of

Passage 3
What does a red ribbon mean to you? For different people and at different times, a red ribbon
may denote various meanings. One of these meanings is that the red ribbon is the universal symbol
of awareness and support for people living with HIV. By wearing a red ribbon, people try to raise
awareness on and during the run up to World AIDS Day.
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a spectrum of conditions caused by infection
with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). At the beginning stage of infection, a patient may not
109 學年度私立醫學校院聯合招考轉學生考試

have any symptoms or experience influenza-like illness for a short period. AIDS is threatening after
the infection progresses, since it makes the function of the immune system decline drastically and
that increases the risk of developing other inflections such as tuberculosis.
There are three major ways for people to contract HIV: sexual contact, significant exposure to
infected body fluids or tissues, and from mother to child during pregnancy, delivery, or
breastfeeding. In order to prevent from getting infected with HIV, it is recommended to use
condoms consistently. According to the statistics, when a couple uses condoms all the time, the rate
of HIV infection is less than 1% per year even though one of them is HIV positive. In comparison
with male condoms, some evidence suggests that female condoms may provide an equivalent
protection. At the moment, a vaccine for HIV or AIDS is still under development. Currently, the
most effective vaccine trial, RV 144, is reported to have a partial reduction in the risk of
transmission of roughly 30% and this excites the research teams all over the world with a hope for
developing a truly effective vaccine. Bearing this hope in mind, the research community keeps
conducting further trials of the RV 144.
One of the negative impacts of HIV/AIDS is the stigma it causes. This stigma is various in form,
including ostracism, rejection, discrimination, avoidance of HIV-infected people, and many others.
People who are afraid of stigma-oriented violence are unwilling to seek HIV testing, return for their
results, or secure treatment. As a result, for these people, a manageable chronic illness may turn into
a death and this will perpetuate the further spread of HIV. It is not far-fetched to point out that AIDS
stigma often happens in conjunction with other stigmas, such as homosexuality, bisexuality,
promiscuity, prostitution, and drug use. It is everyone’s responsibility to fight against discrimination
in order to bring proper, equal medical treatment to those infected patients.
Apart from stigmas, there are also many misconceptions about HIV and AIDS. The most
common three misconceptions are that people will get infected through casual contact, that to have
sex with a virgin will cure AIDS, and that only gay and drug users are possible to contract HIV.
Ridiculous as they may seem to be, some conspiracy theories have contended that HIV was
inadvertently or deliberately created by scientists. For example, a worldwide Soviet active measures
operation, Operation INFEKTION, spreads the claim that the United States is behind the creation of
such a disease. According to the surveys, some people in fact believe in such a theory.
46. Which of the following is NOT discussed in the passage?
(A) How a red ribbon is related to AIDS.
(B) How people might be infected with HIV.
(C) Misconceptions about HIV and AIDS.
(D) Criminal transmission of HIV.
47. AIDS may not be transmitted through _____.
(A) sex (B) delivery (C) breastfeeding (D) ostracism
