許多大人仍記得在他們小時候曾經看到過許多螢火蟲,然而,今時今日的孩子卻鮮少有機會目睹這些美妙的生物。這是因為螢火蟲,特別是雌蟲,受到光害影響而數量銳減的緣故。為了保育這些火金姑,我們必須保護牠們不受光及其他威脅傷害。臺中有個地勢低矮的山區是熱門的賞螢景點,特別是有好幾萬隻火金姑在黑暗中熒熒發光的森林公園更是炙手可熱。在臺灣已知約五十五種的螢火蟲當中,這裡就已經找到了九種。從四月初到五月中旬是螢光熠熠的火金姑出沒最多的時間。其他可以看見螢火蟲的時間則落在七月份到十一月份間。這段時間氣候溫暖潮濕,是螢火蟲覓偶的最佳時機。

IV. 閱讀測驗:以下有兩篇短文,共有10個題目,為第3241題,請於閱讀短文後,選出最適當的答案。

 

閱讀下文,回答第32 - 36

Energy from the sun is called solar1 energy. People use solar energy to produce heat in different ways. For example, many buildings use large solar collectors2 to collect sunlight. Inside the solar collectors are rows of black tubes carrying water or air. Sunlight strikes the tubes and heats the water or air inside them. The tubes carry the heated water or air to pipes3 that run throughout4 the building. The heated water or air is pumped5 through the pipes. If the heat is not needed, it goes to a storage tank6. On a cloudy day or at night, the stored heat can be used. This kind of system is called active heating.

Another way to use solar energy is to “trap” it. When sunlight passes through the glass windows and strikes the material7 inside, the solar energy changes to heat. This heat warms the air inside, so the air inside becomes warmer and warmer. This build-up8 of heat is called the greenhouse effect. Such kind of heating is called passive solar heating.

In addition to producing heat, solar energy can also be used to produce electricity. Some may think that solar energy seems to be a perfect energy source9. It is clean, plentiful10, and free. But there are problems in using solar energy. One problem is that not all places receive enough sunlight to make solar energy useful. Besides, solar energy is not constant11. If there are several cloudy days in a row, the stored heat or electrical energy may be used up.

【文章翻譯】

來自太陽的能量稱作太陽能。人們透過不同的方法利用太陽能來製造熱能。例如,許多建築物使用大型的太陽能收集器吸收陽光。在太陽能收集器裡面有著一排排的黑色管子,管子中裝著水或是空氣。太陽光照射到管子,就會加熱管中的水或空氣。管子將加熱的水或空氣帶到貫通整棟大樓內部的管線,再透過幫浦將這些水或空氣從管線裡輸送出來使用。如果大樓這時不需要熱能,就會將其送到儲存槽,等到陰天或是夜晚的時候,這些儲存的熱能就可以派上用場了。這種系統就稱為主動加熱系統。

另一種使用太陽能的方法就是「困住」太陽能。當太陽光穿過玻璃窗照射到裡頭的材質時,太陽能就會轉換為熱能,加熱了裡面的空氣,使得它變得越來越熱。這種逐漸累積的熱能被稱為溫室效應。這種加熱的方法就叫作被動加熱系統。

除了產生熱之外,太陽能還可以用來發電。有些人或許認為太陽能似乎是再完美不過的能源了,太陽能乾淨不會造成汙染、取之不盡用之不竭,而且完全免費,但是要使用太陽能卻有其困難。不是所有地方都能夠獲得足夠的陽光照射,好讓太陽能得以發揮作用,這是問題之一。此外,太陽能的收集沒有辦法持續不間斷,如果接連好幾天都是陰天的話,儲存的熱或電就有可能被用完。

 

【字彙解析】

1. solar adj. 太陽的                                                    6. material n. 材質,材料

2. solar collector 太陽能收集器                                 7. build-up n. 累積;增強

3. pipe n. 管線                                                           9. source n. 來源

4. throughout prep. 遍及(地方);自始至終          10. plentiful adj. 充足的

5. pump v. 用幫浦輸送                                              11. constant adj. 持續不斷的

6. tank n. 存放(液體、氣體)的地方

【解析】 (A)首段第二句表示有不同的方法。(B)末段第四句表示太陽能的使用上有些問題。 (D) 末段第五句表示不是所有地方都可以有充足的陽光。 (A)(B)(D)皆有誤,故選(C)

 

( D ) 35. According to the passage, which of the following about solar energy is NOT true?

(A) Solar energy is hard to produce without enough sunlight.

(B) Solar energy can be used to produce heat and electricity.

(C) Solar energy can be kept in storage tanks for future use.

閱讀下文,回答第37 - 41

Water is a major component1 of the human body. Lack of water can affect bodily2 functions. The body continuously loses water through daily activities and must make up for this loss through food such as fruits and vegetables, and beverages such as milk and soda. Water, which is calorie3 free, is the healthiest drink.

Men need 13 cups of water per4 day and women need nine. Water requirements5 depend on activity levels, climate, and health. If you are doing exercise, you need to drink an extra two cups of water. For intense6 exercise, such as marathon running or road cycling, you need even more. Sports drinks7 are one way to replace water and sodium lost through sweat. In hot and dry weather, the body must have enough water to keep cool. Furthermore8, in mountains of over 2500 meters, people breathe faster, so they require5 five cups of water more than usual.

People suffering from fever should also take in additional fluids9 to balance water loss. Pregnant or breast-feeding women need large amounts of water, too. Doctors advise mothers-to-be to drink ten cups of water daily and women who are breast-feeding 14 cups per day. All in all10, water needs differ according to various factors and drinking proper amounts of water is key to good health.

【文章翻譯】

水是構成人體的主要成分,缺少水分會影響身體的功能。日常活動都會造成身體水分的流失,因此一定要透過像是蔬菜、水果等食物和牛奶、汽水等飲料來補充水分。不含卡路里的水是最健康的飲料。

男人一天需要十三杯水,而女人需要九杯。需要多少水分是根據活動量、氣候以及健康條件來決定的。如果你有在運動,則需要多喝兩杯水。對於從事像是跑馬拉松或是參加公路自行車賽等劇烈運動的人,就需要更多的水。喝運動飲料是補充因流汗所失去的水分和鈉的方式之一。在炎熱乾燥的天氣裡,我們的身體一定要有足夠的水來降溫。此外,在海拔兩千五百公尺以上的高山上,人的呼吸會加速,所以需要的水會比一般正常的量再多個五杯。

發燒的人也應該攝取額外的流質食物來平衡流失的水分。懷孕或哺乳的婦女也需要大量的水分。醫生建議準媽媽一天要喝十杯水,而有餵母乳的媽媽則一天要喝十四杯水。總之,水份的需求會因種種因素而有所不同,而攝取足夠的水份是保持健康的關鍵。
