【文章翻譯】

求職者必須具備多項技能。他們要知道去哪裡找工作,而且還要能在求職信中提供明確而完整的個人資料。此外,他們也得要知道如何把這些資料轉換成應徵文件所要求的格式。再者,他們還要知道如何透過電話得到跟工作相關的資訊。最後,求職者一定要瞭解工作面試的技巧。

首先,去哪裡找工作?工作可以在每天報紙的分類廣告欄以及網路上找到。很多人靠人脈來找工作——也就是說,讓親朋好友知道他們正在找工作。靠關係這個方法愈來愈受歡迎,而且最棒的是通常都管用。

一旦找到一個可能的工作機會,求職者該做什麼呢?首先,他們一定要想辦法得知一切關於這份工作的事,並自問以下問題:我能夠勝任這份工作嗎?我想要這份工作嗎?而它有挑戰性嗎?有趣嗎?薪水高嗎?如果上述問題的答案都是肯定的,那麼下一步要做的就是去應徵這份工作了。幾乎每份工作都會要求某些型式的書面應徵文件。大部分的求職表格都要求類似的個人資料,包含教育背景、工作經驗和推薦函。

【文章翻譯】

自從網際網路發明以來,許多人預測了一個無紙社會的來臨。在人們使用網路來看報紙、收發電子郵件,還有擷取資訊之時,這項預測己經實現了。然而,也有其他人懷疑是否電腦科技真的將帶領我們進入一個無紙的社會。

預料無紙社會來臨的人相信網際網路和電子郵件有一天將會取代紙張的使用。因為網際網路讓人們得以在線上就能閱讀報紙並擷取許多資料庫的內容,因此不需要用紙張來取得所需的資訊。也就是說,人們不用真的去購買出版品。利用電子郵件,就不必用紙來收發信件及訊息。再者,寫作與編輯的過程都在電腦上完成,也因此人們不再需要用到紙張。

但是也有其他人相信儘管網際網路和電子郵件很有用,一個無紙的社會還是不可能成形。許多人依然在使用紙張,因為網路和電子郵件都可能成為病毒傳播的管道。還有些人則是因為擔心隱私問題,認為重要文件只有依賴紙張才保險。他們擔心自己的私人訊息或許會被其他人看到。

【字彙解析】

invention 發明                                                   predict 預測;預言

come to reality 成真;實現                              access 取得;利用

前句 predict(預測)為動詞,因此本題選該字的名詞。

 

( A ) 35. (A) However              (B) Moreover             (C) Therefore               (D) Whatever

【解析】(A) 然而                 (B) 此外                   (C) 因此                     (D) 不論什麼

上文是預測無紙社會來臨的人,下文則是不同意的人,前後句意的概念相反,故答案選 (A)

 

( D ) 36. (A) cause                   (B) attract                   (C) occur                     (D) replace

( B ) 38. (A) had done              (B) is done                 (C) was doing               (D) will do

【解析】因編寫過程不會自己完成而是被人完成的,所以此句要用被動式,故選 (B)。原句為 The writing and editing process is done (by people) on a computer.

【解析】(A) 社會的             (B) 溫和的               (C) 穿衣                     (D) 隱私(權)

由下句的「擔心私人訊息會被他人看到」,得知是關於「隱私權」的顧慮。

 

 

IV.、閱讀測驗:以下有兩篇短文,其後共有10個題目,為第41-50題,請閱讀短文後,選出最適當的答案。

 

Nature is full of examples of cycles. The seasons come and go in a cycle of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The days move in cycles of day and night. And all living things live, grow, and die in cycles. For example, a sapling grows tall and strong. Then, one spring, the tree blossoms. These flowers later turn into fruit or other types of seeds. When these seeds fall, they land on the ground. The seeds can then grow. If the seeds get enough sunlight and rain, they will become young trees. As the trees blossom, the cycle repeats itself.

Rain also occurs in cycles. Water evaporates from the oceans and rises into the sky. This means that the ocean water is warmed by the sun and some of it rises into the air. When enough water has gathered together, big rain clouds form. The clouds will release or drop the water. The rain falls on land and ocean alike. When the rain falls on land, the ground soaks up some of it. If a lot of rain falls, the runoff flows into streams, rivers, and lakes. This water, in turn, flows into the oceans. When some of this water evaporates into the air, the cycle repeats itself.

【文章翻譯】

大自然到處可見各種循環更替的週期。季節的變換是以春夏秋冬為一個週期來循環。一天則是由白天與黑夜交相輪替。而所有有生命的東西,他們的循環週期就是出生、成長與死亡。舉例來說,一株樹苗長高了、茁壯了。然後,有一年春天,這棵樹開花了。花開之後會結成果實或結籽。當這些種子掉下來落到地上後,會再發芽成長。如果陽光與雨水充足的話,它們又會長成小樹。樹開花後,另外一個週期又開始重複,週而復始。

降雨的形成也是一種循環週期。水從海洋蒸發升到天空。也就是說,海水被太陽加熱,其中有些空氣便會升到天空。當水氣聚集足夠的時候,就會形成巨大的雨雲。這些雨雲會釋出水滴或掉下來變成雨。雨會下到陸地,也會下到海洋。當雨水下到陸地上時,地面會把一些雨水吸收掉。如果是大雨,雨水會分徑流到小溪、河流及湖泊。這些水接著又流入海洋。當其中一些水蒸發到空氣中,這個循環又開始重複。

A strong, healthy body can do an amazing job of resisting disease. There are many things you can do to keep your body healthy. Eating proper foods is one of the effective ways. A balanced diet gives the body the nutrients it needs to function properly.

Getting plenty of sleep is another good way. A tired, run-down body does not function efficiently and is like a car that needs a tune-up. Sleep refreshes the body and restores the energy necessary to fight disease.

Exercise is also important in reducing stress and keeping the body healthy. Regular, moderate exercise, such as running, dancing, swimming, biking or playing a sport, will relieve muscle tension, keep the muscles firm, and make the heart and blood vessels healthy. Exercise, like sleep, makes the body function more efficiently. People who exercise regularly can even strengthen their hearts.

【文章翻譯】

當身體強壯又健康時,在抵抗疾病上便十分有效。你可以做很多事情來保持身體健康。其中,攝取適當的飲食是有效的方法之一。均衡的飲食可以提供身體正常運作所需的營養。

充足的睡眠則是另一個好方法。疲倦不堪的身體是無法有效運作的,因此就像車子一樣,它也需要定期保養。睡眠可以幫助身體恢復疲勞,重獲抵抗疾病所需的體力。

在減輕壓力及保持身體健康上面,運動也非常重要。有規律而適量的運動如跑步、跳舞、游泳、騎腳踏車、或者打球,都可以讓緊張的肌肉放鬆,保持肌肉的結實,讓心臟與血管維持健康。運動就像睡眠一樣,可以讓身體運作更加有效。定期運動的人甚至可以強化他們的心臟功能。
