(A) The new forms of online interaction have changed our lives in ways that may

everyone these days uses Google. All of this interaction has changed our idea of trust,
as we are forced to trust the companies __27___ services we use. Every time we use
the search function on a Web browser or smartphone, a corporation learns more

(B) What influences me most in Kipling’s poem “If” is the third and fourth stanzas.
The former explores mental toughness and the power of will that one must have. Life
is like a game of chance, so sometimes you must bet __30__ you have in one play of
“pitch-and-toss” to be successful. However, even if you lose everything, don’t __31__
self-pity. In short, do everything you can to accomplish your goals and never give up.
Ultimate success comes to __32__ find inner strength and have the will to go all the
way to the end.
The latter __33__ one’s personal relationships and the value of time. As the
speaker says, __34__ people from different backgrounds, from kings to common
people. However, you should __35__ a balanced world view in all your interactions.
In addition, __36__ that time is precious. It doesn’t wait for anyone, __37__ give
anyone a second chance. Be sure, __38__, to cherish every moment in your life and
live it to the full. All of these pieces of advice resonate with me and, though they, over
a century old, are considered timeless to this day.

true lest we __39__ tricked into accepting it as truth. One notable feature of
authentic news is the inclusion of the writer’s name, which enables readers to view
that writer’s biography and verify his or her __40__. Another characteristic of real
news is the __41__ of multiple main sources, which demonstrates a high level of
authenticity. __42__ feature to look for is where the article has been published. If it
has been published by a respected media platform, such as the BBC or CNN, it is
likely reliable. __43__, a clear sign of a factual report is objective writing. It means
that the reporter shows readers the true fact instead of __44__ readers’ emotions or
using deliberately provocative language. After learning about these features, I
believe we won’t __45__ fake news so that we can see the world accurately.

One sleep disorder is called somnambulism, or sleepwalking. This is a
dangerous disorder, as sleepwalkers __46__ activities of various types and
complexities. They may do something as simple as sit up in bed or __47__ the house
looking confused. Some people have made phone calls; others have even been known
to get into vehicles and drive away. The causes of sleep talking and sleepwalking are
still unclear. Experts think they are related to brain chemicals. Certain sleeping pills
have been known to cause sleepwalking. Stress, __48___, and lack of sleep are
common triggers for sleep disorders. There’s no specific treatment, but you can end
your sleep disorder by improving your “sleep hygiene,” which __49___ the habits that
help you get restful sleep. ___50__ regular sleep schedules and avoid food and
caffeine before bedtime. Develop a relaxing __51___ before bed, such as a warm bath

Weather is crucial to the construction and __52__ of homes. One of the biggest
factors is rainfall. Besides leaky roofs, which usually require expensive repairs, there
are several other areas, such as skylights and chimneys. If not successfully __53__,
water leakage can cause serious damage as rot and mold take root. Another area
where water poses a threat to homes is linked to a structure’s __54__. More
specifically, a building’s stability is partially __55__ how well the soil surrounding it
can absorb rain. When there is too much water to be __56__ by the soil, basement
leaks can occur. In fact, it has been estimated that 98%of basements in the United
States are __57__ some type of water damage.
V. Discourse Structure (1%*4=4%)
These days, people can choose from a wide variation of glasses. The most
common type of eyewear is single-vision glasses. These have just one power,
although if a person’s eyesight is slightly different from eye to eye, lenses of two
different powers can be used. __58__ However, they can’t help people cope with both
situations. For that, one solution is to get bifocal lenses, which have two different

5/9
prescriptions. __59__ The bottom part, a D-shaped segment, is for looking at things
that are close. Meanwhile, the top section is used to look at objects that are far away.
A choice that has become much more common than bifocals is known as
progressive lenses. These provide more differences in the corrective power of the
lenses. __60__ Therefore, a shift of the eyes allows people to see at different distances.
This changes the prescriptions people view from. Progressive lenses are more
expensive than single-vision glasses or bifocals, but many people buy them because
of the convenience they offer. For people wanting even more convenience, foldable
glasses are available as well. Other types of glasses are more task-specific.
Computer glasses are one example of this. __61__ This can help relieve eyes of
exhaustion.
(A) There is a visible line between the top part and the bottom section, though.
(B) To be exact, these glasses have three different powers.
(C) This type of glasses helps people better view things that are either near them or
far away.
(D) They are designed to provide the best viewing experience while people are
working or playing on a computer.

(D) The key to overcome a fear of change is being flexible so that we can adapt
to new things in our lives more easily.
VII. Reading Comprehension: (1%*1+ 2%*4=9%)
(A) The Amber room was once a huge, amazing piece of art, but its fate remains
a mystery to this day. This much is known about it, though. As suggested by the
name, the Amber Room was once a room full of amber, which is the fossilized
tree resin from ancient forests. To be more exact about the description of it, the

6/9
room was 55 square meters of wall space covered with approximately six tons of
amber. It also had mirrors, gold leaf, and gemstones, creating such a magnificent
sight that people used to call it the “Eighth Wonder of the World.”
The construction of the Amber Room started in 1701 in Prussia. During the
construction, Tsar Peter the Great of Russia came on a visit and was fond of the
amber panels. Thus, the Prussian king Frederick William I presented the Amber
Room to Peter the Great as a gift in 1716. It was then placed in the Catherine
Palace in 1755. To fit it into its new, larger space, several craftsmen worked on
the room in the following years, using additional amber to adorn it. The redesign
work was completed in 1770. It remained a prominent Russian treasure until Nazi
Germany invaded Russia in the 1940s. The Germans stole it by tearing it down,
packing it into 27 crates, and taking it away. This is where the mystery begins
because the magnificent material has never been seen since.
No one knows exactly what happened to the Amber Room. But that hasn’t
stopped people from guessing about its fate. According to one theory, it was
destroyed by bombing raids by the Allies. Another theory claims that the contents
of the room were boarded onto a German ship that was sunk and now lies
somewhere deep in the ocean. It’s likely we will never know what really
happened.
64. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
(A) The Amber Room was once a masterpiece.
(B) Nobody knows exactly where the Amber Room was sent.
(C) Scholars are close to unlocking the mystery of the Amber Room’s
whereabouts.
(D) Some people claim the Amber Room is lying somewhere in the ocean.
65. 請從文章中選出一個單字填入下列的空格，並視語法需要作適當的字形變

(B) Desperate to treat diseases, scientists are testing ways of editing human
DNA. Known as gene editing, this process involves changing a gene to correct its
problems and protect it against certain diseases. Gene editing is a lot like editing a
movie: Scenes or images can be added, removed, or put in a different order. Gene

7/9
 editing techniques insert, remove, change, or replace specific parts of a person’s
DNA.
However, critics argue that such techniques could also be used to create
so-called designer babies. Therefore, they worry that parents may be tempted to
edit their children’s genes to make them smarter, stronger, or more “perfect.”
These changed genes would then be passed on to future generations, which could
have consequences in the long term.
We like to think that nature is perfect, but actually, nature is full of errors.
Evolution gets rid of these errors by letting them die. So, should we be trying to
fix these errors through gene editing? Of course, parents just want to do what is
best for their children, but is gene editing going too far?
Science has given us the power to shape life. Nevertheless, many people
believe we should not be interfering with nature in this way. Such people believe
that through gene editing, humans are trying to play God. For scientists, however,
the potential benefits outweigh the possible risks. So, how far are we willing to
explore this technology?
67. What is the purpose of this article?
(A) To persuade readers to accept gene editing. (B) To describe the
process of gene editing. (C) To question whether gene editing is morally
right. (D) To inform readers of the advantages of gene editing.
68. Which of the following best describes the attitude of people who are against
gene editing?
(A) Man proposes, God disposes. (B) Let nature take its course.
(C) Where there is a will, there is a way. (D) Curiosity killed the cat.
