twenty five and twenty six, you will listen to a conversation. Can I help you? I hope so. I'm looking for a pet for my son. It's his birthday next week. He'll be eight. I see. And do you have anything in mind? Not really, but it's got to be something he can keep in his bedroom and look after by himself. How about fish? They're pretty easy to keep. No. I don't think so. I'd like something he can play with. Well, rabbits are popular and easy to look after. They don't need a lot of space either. Really? Yes. Once they get used to being touched, they are actually very sociable. You have to be a little careful though. They're small and easy to injure. Well, thanks for the advice.

Question 26. Which of the following is true about the conversation? For questions twenty seven and twenty eight, you'll listen to a conversation. Listen. I'm calling about Saturday. What about Saturday? I'm really sorry, but I'm afraid I can't make it. You are joking. We are counting on you. Why can't you make it? My sister is coming to town to attend a wedding this weekend, and I have to spend some time with her. Well, why don't you bring your sister to the party? Oh, that's very kind of you.

Question 28. What does the woman mean at the end of the conversation? For questions twenty nine and thirty, you'll listen to a conversation. I heard that you work as a zookeeper. What's cool about this job? You get to work with amazing animals and learn something new about them every single day. If I want to become a zookeeper, what do I need to do? First, you need to have a background in biology, zoology, or animal science. Experience is also very important. Where can I get some experience? You might want to look for volunteer jobs at your local zoo, animal shelter, or any other place where you can work with animals. The more experience you have, the better your chances. And what's the most challenging part about this job? You need to work unpredictable hours since animals need care twenty four hours a day and seven days a week. The job is also physically demanding. You'll be on your feet all day. If that's the case, I don't think being a zookeeper is a good job for me.

第29與30題，請聽以下對話。 「我聽說你當動物園管理員。這份工作有什麼酷的地方嗎？」 「你可以和神奇的動物一起工作，而且每天都能學到關於牠們的新知識。」 「如果我想成為動物園管理員，我需要做些什麼？」 「首先，你需要有生物學、動物學或動物科學的背景。經驗也非常重要。」 「我可以在哪裡獲得一些經驗？」 「你可能可以在當地的動物園、動物收容所，或任何其他可以和動物接觸的地方尋找志工工作。你擁有的經驗愈多，錄取的機會就愈大。」 「那這份工作最具挑戰性的部分是什麼？」 「你需要配合不固定的工作時間，因為動物一天24小時、一週7天都需要照顧。這份工作對體力的要求也很高，你整天都要站著。」 「如果是這樣的話，我想動物園管理員對我來說不是一份好工作。」 第29題：下列哪一項是成為動物園管理員的必要條件？ 第30題：這份工作最困難的部分是什麼？

Question 30. What is the hardest part of the job? The sample question is based on the following report. Wonderland is perhaps the most popular vacation spot for families. It attracts tourists and provides jobs for the local residents in its hotels and shopping malls. But now it is called the Tragic Kingdom. The neighbors suffer from traffic jams that last for miles, and it takes hours to park the car. Empty cans, bottles, and garbage are everywhere. The whole place is becoming polluted. Most of all, prices of goods are skyrocketing. People pay more for living here. Questions thirty one and thirty two are based on the following announcement. Attention all employees. Please stop what you're doing for a moment and listen carefully to the following announcement. This afternoon, we're going to be holding a fire drill so that you'll know what to do in case of a fire. In the drill, you'll have to leave the office and stay outside for thirty minutes or so. It's just a routine practice. When you hear the alarm go off this afternoon, don't panic. Just stop what you're doing, leave your belongings behind, and calmly make your way out of the building. If you're not sure about what to do, please come to the manager's office to get a copy of the emergency procedures, and this will include information on the exit nearest you. Thank you for your attention. Now please get back to what you were doing. Questions thirty three and thirty four are based on the following talk. I'm going to be frank with you. Our performance these last three months has been disappointing to say the least. Sales have fallen by about 10% compared to last year, and this can't be allowed to continue. We have to do whatever it takes to turn the situation around. Now I know we've had a few problems. The products we're trying to sell may not be the best or the cheapest on the market, but complaining isn't going to help anyone. What we have to do is focus on being positive. We have to do the best we can with the situation as it is, and that's what we are going to do. And we're going to do it starting today. We're the best in the business. I know we can do it. Now let's prove it. Questions thirty five and thirty six are based on the following talk. What is your personality like? Are you the oldest child in your family, the youngest, or were you born in the middle? There are some specific psychological reasons for why birth order matters. Firstborn children, who don't have to compete for their parents' attention, tend to be natural leaders, ambitious and responsible. Youngest children, however, are risk takers and can be charming. This is probably because by the time they are born, their parents have become more easygoing and less concerned with rules. And the middle child? Well, without the rights of the oldest or the privileges of the youngest, they often become experts at negotiation and compromise. Does your personality fit this pattern? Not everyone does because there are more factors involved in personality than just birth order. Gender, for example, is one of them. Questions thirty seven and thirty eight are based on the following talk. People talk about the art of conversation, but perhaps it's more like a sport such as tennis, with the conversational ball being hit back and forth between the players. A conversation starts when someone introduces a topic. And when they finish speaking, they expect the topic that is the conversational ball to be hit back. This can be done by agreeing with the speaker and explaining why, or by disagreeing with the speaker and giving your opinion confidently. The conversational ball can even be hit back by asking a question. But there's one thing you shouldn't do. You break the rules of the game if you just agree without offering any comments. Passive agreement is just like watching the ball without attempting to hit it back. So next time you're in a conversation, imagine you are playing tennis and always try to hit the conversational ball back. Questions thirty nine and forty are based on the following report. The woolly mammoth is an animal related to the modern Asian elephant, and the last woolly mammoth died about four thousand years ago. However, a laboratory in Russia, which studies extinct animal DNA, has publicly stated that one of its aims is to bring the mammoth back to life through cloning technology. The news has caused a certain amount of excitement and controversy, especially on Russian social media. Predictably, some people support the idea and are looking forward to the day when an actual live mammoth is born. And there are even plans to open a wildlife park for mammoths, if this ever happens. But others take an opposing view, arguing that the priority should be to save species that are in danger of extinction right now rather than trying to bring back an animal that died out thousands of years ago.

第 30 題。這項工作最困難的部分是什麼？本範例題是根據以下報導。「奇幻樂園」（Wonderland）或許是最受家庭歡迎的度假勝地。它吸引了遊客，並在其飯店和購物中心為當地居民提供工作機會。但現在它被稱為「悲劇王國」。附近的居民深受綿延數英里的塞車之苦，而且停車要花上好幾個小時。空罐、瓶子和垃圾隨處可見。整個地方正變得髒亂污染。最糟糕的是，物價飛漲。人們在這邊的生活開銷變大了。第 31 題與第 32 題是根據以下這則公告。全體員工請注意。請先暫停您手邊的工作，仔細聆聽以下公告。今天下午我們將舉行消防演習，以便讓大家知道發生火災時該如何應對。在演習中，您必須離開辦公室並在室外停留大約 30 分鐘。這只是例行性的演練。今天下午聽到警報聲響起時，請不要驚慌。只需放下手邊的工作、不要攜帶個人物品，並冷靜地往大樓外移動。如果您不確定該怎麼做，請至經理辦公室領取一份緊急應變程序指引，其中會包含距離您最近的出口資訊。謝謝大家的配合。現在請繼續進行您手邊的工作。第 33 題與第 34 題是根據以下這段談話。我就跟各位直說了。過去這三個月來，我們的表現往好聽裡說也是令人失望。銷售額與去年相比下降了約 10%，我們絕不能容許這種情況繼續下去。不論付出什麼代價，我們都必須扭轉這個局面。我知道我們確實遇到了一些問題。我們想銷售的產品可能不是市場上最好或最便宜的，但抱怨對任何人都沒有幫助。我們必須做的是專注於保持積極。我們必須在現有的情況下盡最大的努力，而這正是我們要做的事。我們將從今天開始付諸行動。我們是業界最棒的。我知道我們做得到。現在，讓我們用行動來證明吧。第 35 題與第 36 題是根據以下這段談話。你的個性如何？你是家裡的老大、老么，還是排行居中？出生順序之所以有影響，是有一些具體的心理學原因的。老大不需要競爭父母的注意力，往往是天生的領導者，充滿抱負且有責任感。然而，老么則是冒險家，而且很有魅力。這可能是因為在他們出生時，父母已經變得比較隨和，對規則也沒那麼在乎了。那夾在中間的孩子呢？在沒有老大的權利，也沒有老么的特權下，他們往往會成為談判與妥協的專家。你的性格符合這種模式嗎？並非每個人都符合，因為影響性格的因素除了出生順序之外，還有很多其他因素。例如，性別就是其中之一。第 37 題與第 38 題是根據以下這段談話。人們常談論說話的藝術，但它或許更像是一項運動，比如網球，對話的球在雙方玩家之間來回拍打。當有人引入一個話題時，對話就開始了。而當他們說完後，會期望這個話題（也就是對話的球）會被回擊過來。這可以透過同意說話者的觀點並解釋原因，或是不同意說話者的觀點並自信地表達自己的看法來達成。甚至可以透過提出問題來把這顆對話的球回擊回去。但有一件事是你不該做的。如果你只是表示同意而沒有提出任何評論，你就違反了遊戲規則。被動的同意就像是看著球飛過去，卻不試圖將它擊回。所以下次當你進行對話時，想像自己正在打網球，並隨時試著把對話的球擊回去。第 39 題與第 40 題是根據以下這則報導。長毛象（猛獁象）是一種與現代亞洲象有親緣關係的動物，最後一隻長毛象在大約四千年前滅絕。然而，俄羅斯一家研究已滅絕動物 DNA 的實驗室公開聲稱，其目標之一是透過複製技術讓長毛象復活。這項消息引發了相當程度的興奮與爭議，特別是在俄羅斯的社群媒體上。不出所料，有些人支持這個想法，並期待看到活生生的長毛象誕生的那一天。如果這件事成真，甚至有人計劃為長毛象開設野生動物園。但也有人持反對意見，認為當務之急應該是拯救目前瀕臨滅絕的物種，而不是試圖復活數千年前就已經滅絕的動物。

第 35 題與第 36 題是根據以下演講內容。你的個性如何？你是家中的老大、老么，還是排行中間的孩子？出生順序之所以重要，有一些具體的心理學原因。老大不需要爭奪父母的注意力，因此往往是天生的領導者，既有抱負又負責任。然而，老么則是冒險家，且往往很有魅力。這可能是因為在他們出生時，父母已經變得比較隨和，不那麼在乎規矩了。那排行中間的孩子呢？在沒有老大的權利，也沒有老么的特權情況下，他們往往會成為談判與妥協的專家。你的個性符合這種模式嗎？並非每個人都符合，因為影響個性的因素除了出生順序之外，還有很多。例如，性別就是其中之一。

thirty seven and thirty eight are based on the following talk. People talk about the art of conversation, but perhaps it's more like a sport such as tennis, with the conversational ball being hit back and forth between the players. A conversation starts when someone introduces a topic. And when they finish speaking, they expect the topic that is the conversational ball to be hit back. This can be done by agreeing with the speaker and explaining why, or by disagreeing with the speaker and giving your opinion confidently. The conversational ball can even be hit back by asking a question. But there's one thing you shouldn't do. You break the rules of the game if you just agree without offering any comments. Passive agreement is just like watching the ball without attempting to hit it back. So next time you're in a conversation, imagine you are playing tennis and always try to hit the conversational ball back.

第37題與第38題是根據以下這段談話。人們常談論交談的藝術，但或許它更像是一項如網球般的運動，『對話之球』在雙方玩家之間來回被擊打。對話始於有人提出一個話題。而當他們說完時，會期望這個話題（也就是對話之球）能被回擊過來。你可以透過贊同說話者並解釋原因，或是表達不同意見並自信地提出自己的看法，來達到回擊的效果。你甚至可以藉由提出問題來把這顆對話之球打回去。但有一件事是你不應該做的。如果你只是隨聲附和卻不發表任何評論，你就違反了這場遊戲的規則。被動的附和就像是眼睜睜看著球飛過，卻完全不打算把它打回去。所以下一次你在與人交談時，想像自己正在打網球，並隨時試著把那顆對話之球回擊回去。

thirty nine and forty are based on the following report. The woolly mammoth is an animal related to the modern Asian elephant, and the last woolly mammoth died about four thousand years ago. However, a laboratory in Russia, which studies extinct animal DNA, has publicly stated that one of its aims is to bring the mammoth back to life through cloning technology. The news has caused a certain amount of excitement and controversy, especially on Russian social media. Predictably, some people support the idea and are looking forward to the day when an actual live mammoth is born. And there are even plans to open a wildlife park for mammoths, if this ever happens. But others take an opposing view, arguing that the priority should be to save species that are in danger of extinction right now rather than trying to bring back an animal that died out thousands of years ago.

第39題與第40題是根據以下報導。長毛象是一種與現代亞洲象有親緣關係的動物，最後一隻長毛象大約在四千年前死亡。然而，俄羅斯一間研究已滅絕動物 DNA 的實驗室公開表示，其目標之一是透過複製技術讓長毛象復活。這則新聞引發了某個程度的興奮與爭議，特別是在俄羅斯的社群媒體上。不出所料，有些人支持這個想法，並期待看到活生生的長毛象誕生。如果這真的實現了，甚至有計畫要為長毛象開設一座野生動物園。但也有人持相反意見，認為當務之急應該是拯救目前正瀕臨滅絕的物種，而不是試圖復活幾千年前就已滅絕的動物。
