第 28–31 題題組文章

The beautiful scenery and amazing creatures found below the waves are what draw most divers to the ocean. Some divers take up photography as a hobby. Diving magazines have been known to buy photographs of rare sea life from regular divers. Above the surface, hired boats take tourists on whale watching trips. Whale watching during the right season allows people to see not only a variety of whale species, but seals and other sea animals as well. Some of the more eager watchers may even travel hundreds of miles to follow the paths of individual whales. Meanwhile, bird watchers work hard to discover new bird species. Serious bird watchers bring along their life lists, in which they record every species of bird that they have seen in the wild. Like whale watchers, “birders” sometimes hop continents on their mission to add new species to their lists. Collecting parts of animals is a common hobby. While buying or selling ivory is illegal, it can be made into profitable items such as chess sets, piano keys, and jewelry. Animal skins and furs and entire stuffed animals are often found at homes as decorating items. And the hobby of butterfly collecting is one of the oldest in the world. Russian author Vladimir Nabokov was known for his life-long passion for collecting butterflies. The world’s largest collection is found in Costa Rica, a nation with more butterfly species than the entire Africa.

Recent researches have shown that how you breathe can tell you how relaxed or how tense you are. So if you want to keep a tranquil mind and not to feel anxious all the time, you should pay attention to your breathing. For example, when you are calm, your breathing is deep and steady. Your breath mainly comes from the stomach, not the chest. But when you are nervous, excited, or under pressure, your breathing changes. It becomes shallow and ragged; that is, it is short and quick. It comes mainly from the chest or throat. Sometimes, when upset, you may even catch yourself holding your breath without knowing it. Or you may exhale more quickly than you inhale. So whenever you want to calm down, try to breathe to a rhythm. Inhale to the count of three; exhale to the count of four. Then get in the habit of checking your breathing from time to time to make sure you stay relaxed and at your best.

第 46–50 題題組文章

El Niño is coming and people in every part of the world are getting worried. El Niño is a mysterious weather pattern. It begins about every four years with a sudden warming of the eastern Pacific Ocean along the equator. El Niño is caused by changes in air movements. These changes disrupt ocean currents. The warm water in the Pacific Ocean moves south along the west coast of South America. It makes the cold water off the coast of Peru and Ecuador warmer. The warming of the ocean water kills many fish, sea animals, and sea birds. But El Niño’s effects are not limited to the local area. The warming of the ocean affects weather patterns throughout the world. El Niño is a Spanish term. It means “the male child” and usually refers to the baby Jesus. Fishermen in Peru began calling the strange weather event El Niño because it usually arrived around Christmas time. Today the term El Niño is only used when the weather event is big enough and warm enough to bring worldwide effects.

    • (B) 錯：聖嬰現象通常在夏天到來——文中說漁民因為它通常在聖誕節前後出現而稱之為 El Niño，不是夏天
    • (C) 錯：聖嬰現象由海水降溫造成——文中說它始於東太平洋突然升溫，海水變暖，與降溫相反
    • (D) 正：今日這個詞只在事件大到足以帶來全球影響時使用

    依據：Today the term El Niño is only used when the weather event is big enough and warm enough to bring worldwide effects.（今日只有事件夠大、夠暖到帶來全球影響時才用此詞。）
