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 report. Child obesity, meaning children been seriously overweight, has risen dramatically in The United Kingdom. One school, however, has worked out how to help children control their weight by encouraging an active lifestyle. Next to this school, there used to be an unused field. It had a few trees, but it was full of trash, and the children were not allowed to go there because it was too dangerous. But today, the field has been cleared, and the children get to run-in between the trees and play there. These days, the children refer to the field as their mini forest. As a result, the kids in the school are doing much more exercise than ever before. The field is also used to teach children how to grow fruit and vegetables, which are often used by the school's cooks to create healthy meals. The good news is the number of students describing themselves as eating healthily has gone up by more than 50%. Questions twenty seven and twenty eight are based on the following talk. Have you ever done any volunteer work? Last year, I traveled to Myanmar to work as an international volunteer for three weeks. I'd like to share some of my experiences with you. First, the food. Most people in Myanmar are Buddhists and are vegetarians. So I decided to be a vegetarian while I was there too. I imagined that the food would be boring and taste very bland, but it was sour and spicy. Unfortunately, it also upset my stomach. For much of the first week, I was constantly running to the toilet. What a shock. I had to take a bucket of water with me because the toilet didn't flush automatically, and there was no toilet paper, only pieces of newspaper. But I enjoyed the work, the people, and the scenery. And experiencing a different lifestyle definitely broadened my horizons. In fact, I'd recommend becoming an international volunteer to anyone. Questions twenty nine and thirty are based on the following report. PISA is the program for International Student Assessment. Every three years, tests are given to 15 year old students in more than 70 countries. The test results allow countries to compare their education systems and achievements. According to tests given by PISA, in 2015, Singapore had the highest achieving students in math, science, and reading. Asian countries scored high in all three categories. In math, the top seven countries were all Asian. In science, the top five countries were Singapore, Japan, Estonia, Taiwan, and Finland. While surprisingly, The United States was ranked twenty fifth. In reading, most of the top 10 countries were non Asian, though Singapore and Hong Kong came in first and second. Questions thirty one and thirty two are based on the following talk. What are the critics' top children's books of all time? According to a recent survey of more than 1,000 book critics, the third best is where the wild things are. In this picture book, young Max escapes into his imagination when he is sent to bed without any supper. This book has everything a popular children's book should have. It features a beautiful, rich, and surprising story along with beautiful, rich, and surprising illustrations. Second on the list is the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe. This book has been described as thrilling, intelligent, and compassionate. And what is the greatest children's book of all time? According to the survey, it is Charlotte's Web. This masterpiece about an adorable friendship between a spider and a pig has been called deeply wise as it explores lessons about life, love, and death. The sample question is based on the following conversation. Hi. My name is Yeching 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. Hey, do you have any plans for this summer? I plan to create a new lifestyle. That sounds cool. How are you going to do that? I'm going to make a list of things to start doing. Do you want to join me? Sure. Where do we start? Well, I will start from drink more water. We should stop buying bubble tea. I agree. Maybe we should also eat more fruits and vegetables to make ourselves healthier. Then we'll need to add go for a walk every day. I guess next will be go to bed earlier. That's right. What else? How about read a book? Sounds good. Maybe we can try to think positively. And I'd like to talk to my parents at least twice a week to show that I care about them. Wow. That's sweet. Then I will add enjoy some little things to the list and share these with my parents. Oh, and we need to take some time to clean up our bedrooms, and then we can rearrange our furniture. So we'll put throw out unneeded things before that. Plus, we need to stop buying stuff that we don't need. Okay. Now our list is complete. Let's start tomorrow.

問題24：轉帳需要多長時間？ 範例問題是根據以下廣播。 各位女士、先生，下午好。我是機長傑森・張（Jason Zhang）。我們將在大約十五分鐘後開始降落至香港國際機場。根據空中交通管制員的指示，我們預計將在約三點降落。請留在座位上並繫好安全帶。我謹代表星空航空（Star Air）全體同仁，感謝您今天的搭乘。 問題25與26是根據以下報導。 兒童肥胖（意指兒童體重嚴重超重）在英國已急劇上升。然而，有一所學校想出了如何透過鼓勵積極的生活方式，來幫助兒童控制體重。這所學校旁邊以前有一片荒廢的空地。那裡有幾棵樹，但到處都是垃圾，而且因為太危險，孩子們不被允許去那裡。但如今，這片空地已經被清理乾淨，孩子們可以在樹林間奔跑並在那裡玩耍。現在，孩子們把這片空地稱為他們的「迷你森林」。因此，這所學校的孩子們比以往做了更多的運動。這片空地還用來教導孩子們如何種植蔬果，而這些蔬果經常被學校的廚師用來製作健康餐點。好消息是，表示自己飲食健康的學生人數增加了50%以上。 問題27與28是根據以下談話。 你曾做過任何志工工作嗎？去年，我前往緬甸擔任了三週的國際志工。我想與你們分享我的一些經歷。首先是食物。緬甸大多數人是佛教徒，並且吃素。所以我決定在當地也吃素。我原以為食物會很無聊且味道清淡，但沒想到它又酸又辣。不幸的是，它也讓我拉肚子。在第一週的大部分時間裡，我一直在跑廁所。真是太令人震驚了。我必須隨身提一桶水，因為廁所不是自動沖水的，而且沒有衛生紙，只有報紙碎片。但我很享受這份工作、那裡的人們和風景。而且體驗不同的生活方式絕對開拓了我的視野。事實上，我會向任何人推薦擔任國際志工。 問題29與30是根據以下報導。 PISA是國際學生能力評量計劃。每三年會對70多個國家的15歲學生進行測試。測試結果讓各國能夠比較其教育體制與成就。根據PISA在2015年進行的測試，新加坡學生在數學、科學和閱讀方面的表現最為優異。亞洲國家在這三個類別中都獲得了高分。在數學方面，前七名國家全部都是亞洲國家。在科學方面，前五名分別是新加坡、日本、愛沙尼亞、台灣和芬蘭。而令人驚訝的是，美國僅排在第二十五名。在閱讀方面，前十名的大多數是非亞洲國家，不過新加坡和香港分別位居第一和第二。 問題31與32是根據以下談話。 評論家心目中史上最佳的童書是哪些？根據最近一項針對1,000多名書評人的調查，第三名是《野獸國》（Where the Wild Things Are）。在這本繪本中，年幼的麥克斯因為沒吃晚餐就被送去睡覺，於是躲進了自己的想像世界中。這本書具備了受歡迎的童書所應有的一切要素。它有著優美、豐富且令人驚喜的故事，並搭配著優美、豐富且令人驚喜的插圖。名列第二的是《獅子、女巫、魔衣櫥》（The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe）。這本書被描述為扣人心弦、充滿智慧且富有同理心。那麼，史上最偉大的童書是哪一本呢？根據該調查，答案是《夏綠蒂的網》（Charlotte's Web）。這部關於一隻蜘蛛和一隻豬之間可愛友誼的傑作，因探討了生命、愛與死亡的課題，而被譽為具有深奧的智慧。 範例問題是根據以下對話。 你好。我的名字是王雅婷（Yeching Wang）。我是台灣學生會的會長。我們計劃下個月舉辦一場迎新派對，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。我拿一下你們的活動企劃表，看看是怎麼回事。謝謝。啊，我明白了。你們的企劃表填寫不完整，所以我們無法處理你們的申請。你們還需要確認活動地點。你們打算在哪裡舉辦活動？嗯，將會在亞里斯多德館（Aristotle Hall）的305會議室。好的。只要勾選亞里斯多德並寫下305室即可。現在，我們進入下一個部分。 範例問題：活動將在哪裡舉行？ 問題33至36是根據以下對話。 嘿，你今年夏天有什麼計劃嗎？我計劃開創一種新的生活方式。聽起來很酷。你打算怎麼做？我打算列出一張開始要去做的事情的清單。你想加入我嗎？當然。我們從哪裡開始？嗯，我會從多喝水開始。我們應該停止買珍奶。我同意。也許我們也應該多吃蔬菜水果，讓我們更健康。那我們需要加上每天散步。我想下一個會是早點睡覺。沒錯。還有什麼？讀一本書怎麼樣？聽起來不錯。也許我們可以嘗試積極思考。而且我想每週至少和父母聊兩次天，以表達我對他們的關心。哇。真貼心。那我會在清單上加上享受生活中的一些小確幸，並和我的父母分享。喔，我們還需要花點時間整理臥室，然後重新調整家具擺設。所以在那之前，我們要先加上丟掉不需要的東西。另外，我們需要停止購買我們不需要的東西。好的。現在我們的清單完成了。我們明天開始吧。

According to tests given by PISA, in 2015, Singapore had the highest achieving students in math, science, and reading. Asian countries scored high in all three categories. In math, the top seven countries were all Asian. In science, the top five countries were Singapore, Japan, Estonia, Taiwan, and Finland. While surprisingly, The United States was ranked twenty fifth. In reading, most of the top 10 countries were non Asian, though Singapore and Hong Kong came in first and second.

第 29 題與第 30 題是根據以下報導。PISA 是「國際學生能力評量計劃」。每三年，這項測驗會對 70 多個國家的 15 歲學生進行。測驗結果讓各國能夠比較其教育體制和學術成就。根據 2015 年的 PISA 測驗，新加坡學生在數學、科學和閱讀方面的表現最為優異。亞洲國家在這三個類別中都獲得了高分。在數學方面，前七名全都是亞洲國家。在科學方面，前五名分別是新加坡、日本、愛沙尼亞、台灣和芬蘭。而令人驚訝的是，美國僅排名第 25 位。在閱讀方面，前十名的大多數是非亞洲國家，不過新加坡和香港分別榮登第一和第二名。

Question 36. What should they do before cleaning up their rooms? Questions 37 to 40 are based on the following talk. How do you wash the dishes? Are you tired of washing dishes by hand? Well, using a dishwasher can help. It helps you save time and water. Using an energy efficient dishwasher can save up to 5,000 gallons of water a year. It can also save as much as two hundred thirty hours of personal time. Dishwashers can also help the environment in another way. One study carried out in The US found that using a dishwasher could reduce carbon emissions by 72% compared to doing dishes by hand. But what if you don't have a dishwasher? Well, it is still possible to keep your carbon emissions to a minimum. Being careful about consuming less hot water can make a big difference. Instead of rinsing dirty dishes with hot running water, soaking them beforehand can cut about 666 kilograms of c o two emissions a year. That's roughly the same as a return trip flight between Taipei and Hong Kong. If you really want to be eco friendly, how about getting a dishwasher? If a dishwasher is not an option, then try to use as little hot water as possible when you wash dishes by hand.
