I guess you just don't like it. That's right. There's just too much to remember. All those dates. That's true. But there are some great stories as well. My grandmother used to talk a lot about what life was like when she was a girl. I think that's where my interest comes from. I see.

Question 24. What time of day does the conversation most likely take place? The sample question is based on the following announcement. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is Captain Jason Zhang again. We will begin our descent into Hong Kong International Airport in about fifteen minutes. Depending on the instructions from the air traffic controllers, we expect to be landing at about 03:00. Remain seated with your seat belt fastened. On behalf of all of us at Star Air, thank you for flying with us. Questions twenty five and twenty six are based on the following talk. A global food shortage is coming. There is no possible way to produce enough food to feed the world's population under the current system. Already, 1,000,000,000 people in the world go to bed hungry every single night. Already, somewhere in the world, someone starves to death every three point six seconds and three quarters of them are children under the age of five. Already, approximately a third of all children in the world under the age of five suffer from serious malnutrition. And the bad news is that the world simply does not have enough water to grow much more food. Questions twenty seven and twenty eight are based on the following talk. Carl Sandberg, the poet, was born in Illinois. His parents had immigrated from Sweden. Sandberg dropped out of school at the end of eighth grade and went to work to help support the family by delivering milk and newspapers, but he wanted to travel. He hid on trains and traveled throughout the Midwest and even to Colorado. His most well known works were written for his children. His daughters couldn't understand European fairy tales, especially those about kings and queens. Therefore, he wrote stories about American things, such as skyscrapers and trains. Questions twenty nine and thirty are based on the following report. Plastic is something that most of us use every day. But experts say, for the environment, plastic is a serious problem. A recent study found that more than 8,000,000 tons of plastic waste has entered the world's oceans, and that's putting our sea life in a really risky situation. Many seabirds and marine mammals die from plastic every year. Unlike paper or cardboard, plastic takes a long time to break down. So the United Nations wants people to avoid single use packaging and encourages people to clean up their local beaches. The Taiwanese government has also set up rules to ban most retailers from providing free plastic bags and encourages citizens to avoid using plastic straws. Questions thirty one and thirty two are based on the following talk. The Mitchell Museum of the American Indian will offer special activities for children during spring vacation from April 3 to April 6. Kids can engage in do it yourself art and craft projects, making traditional Native American items such as woven rugs and masks. Native American stories will be read each afternoon at 2PM in the museum's reading room. All activities are included in the price of the admission, which is $5 for adults and $3 for children and students. Admission is free for Mitchell Museum members and tribal members. The museum is open 10AM to 5PM, Tuesdays through Fridays, and noon to 4PM on Saturdays and Sundays. The museum is closed on Mondays. The sample question is based on the following conversation. Hi. My name is Yijing Wang. I'm the president of the Taiwan Student Association. We're planning to organize a reception party next month, but I just got an email yesterday saying that there were some problems with our application. Okay. Hold on a moment. Let me get your event planning worksheet and see what's going on. Thanks. Ah, I see. Your worksheet is incomplete, so we're unable to process your application. You still need to check the event location. Where are you going to hold your event? Well, it's going to be in Aristotle Hall, Conference Room 305. Alright. Just check Aristotle and write down Room 305. Now, let's move on to the next section. Sample question. Where will the event be held? Questions 33 to 36 are based on the following conversation. Apples are on sale this morning. Please visit our organic fruit section. Hey, let's get some apples. Wow. These organic apples are only $3.99 per pound. Only $3.99? They're still expensive. Those imported apples in the front are just half the cost. Well, that's true, but they're different. Those are conventionally grown apples. These organic apples are local and are safer and tastier. But are they really worth the extra cost? I think so. Organic apples need more human labor than conventional ones. That's why they generally cost more. Plus, organic farmers don't use chemical fertilizers, harmful pesticides, or herbicides, which is better for us and for the environment. So I prefer organic apples. I can see your point, but I just don't trust the sellers. They may use words like organic or natural just to attract customers. How do we really know their products are grown organically? Well, real organic products are certified by the government and are allowed to use the organic label. Like this one, it's labeled USDA meaning that it meets the strict regulations set by the US government. Okay. You win. Let's get some organic apples and use them to make a pie for dinner.

第 24 題。這段對話最可能在一天中的什麼時間點發生？本範例問題是根據以下廣播內容。午安，各位女士、先生。我是機長張傑森（Jason Zhang）。我們將在約 15 分鐘後開始降落至香港國際機場。根據飛航管制員的指示，我們預計將在 3 點左右著陸。請留在座位上並繫好安全帶。我謹代表星空航空全體機組人員，感謝您搭乘我們的航班。 第 25 題與第 26 題是根據以下演說。全球糧食短缺即將來臨。在現行體系下，根本不可能生產足夠的糧食來餵飽世界人口。目前，世界上已經有 10 億人每天餓著肚子入睡。目前，在世界某個地方，每 3.6 秒就有一人餓死，其中四分之三是五歲以下的兒童。目前，全球五歲以下兒童中，大約有三分之一面臨嚴重的營養不良。而壞消息是，地球根本沒有足夠的水資源來種植更多糧食。 第 27 題與第 28 題是根據以下演說。詩人卡爾·桑德堡（Carl Sandburg）出生於伊利諾州。他的父母是瑞典移民。桑德堡在八年級結束時輟學，並透過送牛奶和報紙來幫忙家計，但他渴望旅行。他偷偷躲在火車上，遊歷了整個中西部，甚至去了科羅拉多州。他最著名的作品是寫給他的孩子們的。他的女兒們無法理解歐洲的童話故事，尤其是那些關於國王和皇后的故事。因此，他寫了關於美國事物的故事，例如摩天大樓和火車。 第 29 題與第 30 題是根據以下報導。塑膠是我們大多數人每天都會用到的東西。但專家表示，對環境而言，塑膠是一個嚴重的問題。最近的一項研究發現，已有超過 800 萬噸的塑膠垃圾流入全球海洋，這讓我們的海洋生物陷入了極具風險的處境。每年都有許多海鳥和海洋哺乳動物因塑膠而死。與紙張或紙板不同，塑膠需要很長時間才能分解。因此，聯合國希望人們避免使用一次性包裝，並鼓勵人們清理當地的海灘。台灣政府也已制定法規，禁止大多數零售業者免費提供塑膠袋，並鼓勵國民避免使用塑膠吸管。 第 31 題與第 32 題是根據以下演說。米契爾美洲原住民博物館將在 4 月 3 日至 4 月 6 日的春假期間為兒童提供特別活動。孩子們可以參與 DIY 手作與工藝項目，製作傳統的美洲原住民物品，例如編織地毯和面具。每天下午 2 點將在博物館的閱覽室朗讀美洲原住民故事。所有活動均已包含在門票價格內，成人票價為 5 美元，兒童及學生票價為 3 美元。米契爾博物館會員和部落成員可免費入場。博物館的開放時間為週二至週五上午 10 點至下午 5 點，週六和週日下午 12 點至下午 4 點。博物館每週一休館。 本範例問題是根據以下對話。嗨，我的名字是王怡靜。我是台灣同學會的會長。我們計劃在下個月舉辦一場迎新茶會，但我昨天剛收到一封電子郵件，說我們的申請有些問題。好的，請稍等一下。讓我拿您的活動企劃表，看看是怎麼回事。謝謝。啊，我明白了。您的企劃表填寫不完整，所以我們無法處理您的申請。您還需要勾選活動地點。你們要在哪裡舉辦活動？喔，會在亞里斯多德館（Aristotle Hall）的 305 會議室。好的。只要勾選亞里斯多德，然後寫下 305 室即可。現在，讓我們進入下一個部分。範例問題。活動將在哪裡舉行？ 第 33 題至第 36 題是根據以下對話。今天早上蘋果特價中，請參觀我們的有機水果區。嘿，我們買些蘋果吧。哇，這些有機蘋果一磅只要 3.99 美元。只要 3.99 美元？還是很貴耶。前面那些進口蘋果只要半價。嗯，那是真的，但它們不一樣。那些是傳統種植的蘋果。這些有機蘋果是當地的，而且更安全、更美味。但它們真的值得多花這些錢嗎？我想是的。有機蘋果比傳統蘋果需要更多的人力，這就是為什麼它們通常比較貴。此外，有機農夫不使用化學肥料、有害農藥或除草劑，這對我們和環境都更好。所以我更喜歡有機蘋果。我明白你的意思，但我就是不信任商家。他們可能會用『有機』或『天然』之類的字眼來吸引顧客。我們怎麼知道他們的產品真的是有機種植的？嗯，真正的有機產品會經過政府認證，並允許使用有機標籤。就像這一個，它標有 USDA，表示符合美國政府制定的嚴格法規。好吧，你贏了。我們買些有機蘋果，用它們來做晚餐的派吧。

Well, real organic products are certified by the government and are allowed to use the organic label. Like this one, it's labeled USDA meaning that it meets the strict regulations set by the US government. Okay. You win. Let's get some organic apples and use them to make a pie for dinner. Question 33. Where does this conversation most likely take place? Question 34. According to the woman, why are organic apples more expensive? Question 35. Which of the following is not a reason why the woman prefers organic apples? Question 36. Which one of the following labels is the woman referring to?

第33至36題是根據以下對話。 （廣播：）今天早上蘋果特價中，歡迎參觀選購我們的有機水果專區。 嘿，我們買些蘋果吧。哇，這些有機蘋果一磅只要3.99美元。 只要3.99美元？還是很貴啊。前面那些進口蘋果只要半價耶。 嗯，這倒也是，但它們不一樣。那些是傳統農法種植的蘋果。這些有機蘋果是本地產的，而且更安全、更好吃。 但它們真的值那個差價嗎？ 我覺得值。有機蘋果比傳統蘋果需要更多人力，這就是為什麼他們通常比較貴。此外，有機農夫不使用化學肥料、有害農藥或除草劑，這對我們和環境都更好。所以我更喜歡有機蘋果。 我明白妳的意思，但我就是不信任商家。他們可能會用「有機」或「天然」等字眼來吸引顧客。我們怎麼知道他們的產品真的是有機種植的？ 這個嘛，真正的有機產品會經過政府認證，並允許使用有機標章。就像這一個，它標有 USDA（美國農業部認證），代表它符合美國政府制定的嚴格法規。 好吧，妳贏了。我們買些有機蘋果，晚餐拿來做蘋果派吧。 問題33：這段對話最可能發生在哪裡？ 問題34：根據這位女士的說法，為什麼有機蘋果比較貴？ 問題35：下列哪一項不是這位女士偏好有機蘋果的原因？ 問題36：這位女士指的是哪一種標章？

Question 36. Which one of the following labels is the woman referring to? Questions 37 to 40 are based on the following talk. Whether you are a sociable person or not, making small talk is a part of life. Like it or not, sometimes you're going to find yourself in a situation where you just have to get a conversation going with a new acquaintance. Luckily, there are plenty of useful tips for starting a conversation. One powerful way is to ask open ended questions, Questions that can't be answered with a simple yes or no, or a single word like okay or right. Sometimes though, it can be tricky to come up with suitable open ended questions. In these situations, you can use the F. O. R. M. Acronym, which stands for family, occupation, recreation, and miscellaneous. The first three of these are fairly straightforward. The last one, miscellaneous, is the one that allows for the most creativity on your part. For example, you could ask your new acquaintance if she's read any interesting books or seen any great movies recently. Questions like these are far more likely to lead to an actual conversation.

第 36 題。這位女士指的是下列哪一個標籤？第 37 至 40 題是根據以下這段談話。不論你是不是一個擅長社交的人，閒聊都是生活的一部分。不管你喜不喜歡，有時候你難免會遇到必須和新認識的人展開對話的情況。幸好，有很多實用的技巧可以幫助你開啟話題。其中一個很有用的方法是提出「開放式問題」，也就是那些無法用簡單的「是」或「否」，或是像「好」或「對」等單一詞彙來回答的問題。不過有時候，要想到合適的開放式問題可能有點困難。在這種情況下，你可以使用「F. O. R. M.」這個首字母縮寫，它代表家庭（family）、職業（occupation）、娛樂（recreation）和其它（miscellaneous）。前三個相當直截了當。最後一個「miscellaneous」（其它），則是最能讓你發揮創意的一個。例如，你可以問新認識的朋友最近有沒有讀過什麼有趣的書，或看過什麼好看的電影。像這樣的問題更有可能引導出真正的對話。如果你想了解更多關於如何閒聊或如何在對話中選擇合適的詞彙，請閱讀黛博拉．法恩（Deborah Fine）所著的《閒聊的藝術》（The Fine Art of Small Talk）。
