• 在俄羅斯，位於卡累利阿的奧涅加湖上，有一座木造教堂和房屋林立的基日島，是俄羅斯最熱門的觀光景點之一，也是聯合國教科文組織的世界文化遺產保護區。這座島大約七公里長，半公里寬，四周環繞了約五千個其他的島嶼，其中有些只不過是突出於地面的岩石而已。

• 梵天苦思良久，終於決定將神力藏在人類的內心，因為他們絕對不會想到要探索自己的心。從此人類一直在世界各處挖掘、攀爬、探索—想要尋找的東西卻早就已經存在於他們的心中。

三、文意選填 Generally there are two ways to name typhoons: the number-based convention and the list-based convention. Following the number-based convention, typhoons are coded with __31__ types of numbers such as a 4 -digit or a 6 -digit code. For example, the 14 th typhoon in 2003 can be labeled either as Typhoon 0314 or Typhoon 200314. The __32__ of this convention, however, is that a number is hard to remember. The listbased convention, on the other hand, is based on the list of typhoon names compiled in advance by a committee, and is more widely used.

• At the very beginning, only __33__ names were used because at that time typhoons were named after girlfriends or wives of the experts on the committee. In 1979, however, male names were also included because women protested against the original naming __34__ for reasons of gender equality.

• In Asia, Western names were used until 2000 when the committee decided to use Asian names to __35__ Asians’ awareness of typhoons. The names were chosen from a name pool 7 __36__ of 140 names, 10 each from the 14 members of the committee. Each country has its unique naming preferences. Korea and Japan __37__ animal names and China likes names of gods such as Longwang (dragon king) and Fengshen (god of the wind).

• After the 140 names are all used in order, they will be __38__. But the names can be changed. If a member country suffers great damage from a certain typhoon, it can __39__ that the name of the typhoon be deleted from the list at the annual committee meeting. For example, the names of Nabi by South Korea, and Longwang by China were __40__ with other names in 2007. The deletion of both names was due to the severe damage caused by the typhoons bearing the names. •

(A) request (B) favor (C) disadvantage (D) composed (E) recycled (F) practice (G) replaced (H) raise (I) various (J) female

1. convention n. 慣例；習俗：常規 2. code v. 為……編號，編碼╱n. 代碼 3. -digit adj. …… 個數字 4. label v. 把……稱為，把……列為 5. compile v. 收集（資料等） 6. gender equality 性別平等，兩性平等 7. name pool 姓名資料庫 8. preference n. 喜歡，偏好 9. bear v. 擁有（稱號，名聲等）

• 通常為颱風命名有兩種方式：根據數字以及根據名單。按照數字命名的話，颱風會以各種不同形式的數字編碼，例如四個數字或六個數字的代碼。舉例來說，二○○三年的第十四個颱風不是被編號為「颱風 0314」就是「颱風 200314 」。不過這種作法的缺點就是很難記得清楚數字。另一方面，根據名單的方式就是按照一份事先由颱風委員會彙編的颱風命名表，是比較廣為採用的作法。

• 一開始只使用女性的名字，因為當時颱風都是委員會的專家們依照女友或太太的名字來命名。然而一九七九年，因為受到女性以性別平等的理由抗議原來的命名慣例，才進而納入男性的名字。 • 在亞洲，西洋名字一直使用到二○○○年才由委員會決定改成用亞洲名字以提升亞洲人對颱風的意識。這些名字是從一份由 140個名字組成的總表中選出的，這 140個名字由 14位委員每人提供 10個。每一個國家都有獨特的命名偏好。韓國和日本偏愛動物的名字，而中國喜歡神祉的名字，像是「龍王」（海龍王）和「風神」。

• 等這 140個名字都照順序用過一遍，就會重頭再開始。不過名字是可以變更的。如果有成員國因某個颱風而受災慘重，可以在年度委員會議上要求將這個名字除名。例如，南韓命名的「娜比」及中國命名的「龍王」都在二○○七年換成其他名字。這兩個名字會遭到汰換就是因為以它們為名的颱風帶來了嚴重的災害。

( I )31. 從 such as 後面的敘述這些數字可分為四位數及六位數，所以是「不同的」數字類型，故答案為 (I) various 各式各樣的。 ( C )32. 根據句構，空格應為名詞，並且與 that 子句所講述的是同一件事。「that a number is hard to remember」（數字不好記）是一種缺點，所以選擇 (C) disadvantage缺點。 ( J )33. 這題要從整段的含意來看，男性的名字是後來遭抗議才加進來，表示一開始只使用女性的名字，因此答案為 (J) female 女性的。

( F ) 34. naming 是現在分詞當形容詞，original 也是形容詞，所以空格填名詞，根據句意選擇 (F) practice 慣例。 ( H ) 35. 不定詞 to 後面接動詞。「raise … awareness of …」（提升……對……的意識），故答案選 (H) raise 提升，增加。 ( D ) 36. 「be composed of」（由……組成）。原句可寫為 … a name pool which is composed of 140 names …，將關係子句簡化為分詞片語，修飾 a name pool。所以答案為 (D) composed。

( B ) 37. 因為前一句說到每一個國家都有自己的命名偏好，所以就舉日本、韓國、中國為例，為呼應前面的 preference，所以選 (B) favor 偏愛。 ( E ) 38. 這題要從後一句「But the names can be changed」來判斷。But 引導的句子表示與前句相反的狀況，既然後一句說「可以更改」，可推斷前一句是「不會更改」，因此在 140個名字都用過一遍後應該是會再利用，所以最好的答案為 (E) recycled。

( A ) 39. 助動詞 can 後面接原形動詞，根據句意，如果有國家想將某個颱風名字改掉，必須在委員會議上提出要求，故答案為 (A) request 要求。 ( G ) 40. 「be replaced with …」（以……替換），這句是舉兩個例子來呼應前面提到的 the names can be changed，所以答案為 (G) replaced。

四、閱讀測驗（占 32分） The kilt is a skirt traditionally worn by Scottish men. It is a tailored garment that is wrapped around the wearer’s body at the waist starting from one side, around the front and back and across the front again to the opposite side. The overlapping layers in front are called “aprons. ” Usually, the kilt covers the body from the waist down to just above the knees. A properly made kilt should not be so loose that the wearer can easily twist the kilt around the body, nor should it be so tight that it causes bulging of the fabric where it is buckled. Underwear may be worn as one prefers.

One of the most distinctive features of the kilt is the pattern of squares, or sett, it exhibits. The association of particular patterns with individual families can be traced back hundreds of years. Then in the Victorian era (19 th century), weaving companies began to systematically record and formalize the system of setts for commercial purposes. Today there also setts for States and Provinces, schools and universities, and general patterns that anybody can wear.

• The kilt can be worn with accessories. On the front apron, there is often a kilt pin, topped with a small decorative family symbol. A small knife can be worn with the kilt too. It typically comes in a very wide variety, from fairly plain to quite elaborate silver- and jewel-ornamented designs. The kilt can also be worn with a sporran, which is the Gaelic word for pouch or purse.

1. kilt n. 蘇格蘭裙 2. tailor v. 量身訂做 3. garment n. 衣服 4. wrap v. 把（人、物）包，裹（在……裏） 5. overlap v. 重疊 6. loose adj. 鬆垮的 7. twist v. 扭曲 8. bulging n. 突出，鼓起 9. buckle v. 用扣環扣住 10. formalize v. 安排；使正式化 11. accessory n. 配件，附件 12. elaborate adj. 精心製作的 13. ornament v. 裝飾 14. sporran n. 毛布袋 15. Gaelic adj. 賽爾特人的，賽爾特語的 16. pouch n. 小袋

• 蘇格蘭裙是蘇格蘭男性傳統穿著的裙子。那是一種特別量身訂做用來包住穿著者身體的衣物，從腰部的一邊開始，繞過前身，往背後去，再回到前面圍至腰部的另外一邊。正面重疊的兩層叫做「圍裙」。通常蘇格蘭裙是包住身體從腰部及膝的部位。一件裁製妥當的蘇格蘭裙不該太過鬆垮，以致於裙子可以繞著穿著的人身體轉來轉去，不過也不該過於貼身，造成有扣環的地方布料突起。至於穿不穿內褲，就依個人喜好。

• 蘇格蘭裙最與眾不同的特色之一就是它上面所出現的方塊或者格子圖案。各個家族有某些特別的圖案，其中淵源可以追溯到數百年前。後來在維多莉亞時代（西元十九世紀），紡織公司為了將蘇格蘭裙推銷上市，開始有條不吝地針對這些格子的系統加以紀錄整理。現在也有針對不同國家、省分、學校與大學所設計的格子圖案，另外還有任何人都可以穿的一般圖案。

• 蘇格蘭裙可以穿搭配件。在前身的圍裙上面，常常會別上一只蘇格蘭裙別針，別針上頭有個裝飾性的家族小徽章。還可以配戴一把小刀。這種小刀一般來說種類十分繁多，從相當簡單的造形，到裝飾極其繁複、設計鑲銀或珠寶的小刀都有。蘇格蘭裙也可以搭配毛布袋（sporran）來穿，毛布袋（sporran）這個字在塞爾特語裡面，是「小袋子」或者「錢包」的意思。 •

41. What’s the proper way of wearing the kilt? • (A) It should be worn with underwear underneath it. • (B) It should loosely fit on the body to be turned around. • (C) It should be long enough to cover the wearer’s knees. • (D) It should be wrapped across the front of the body two times. ( D )

【翻譯】穿著蘇格蘭裙的適當方法為何？ • (A) 穿著時應該要在底下穿上內褲。 • (B) 穿在身上時應該是鬆鬆垮垮，可以圍著身體繞來繞去的。 • (C) 長度應該要足以蓋住穿者的膝蓋。 • (D) 應該要圍過前身兩次。

42. Which of the following is a correct description about setts? • (A) They were once symbols for different Scottish families. • (B) They were established by the government for business purposes. • (C) They represented different States and Provinces in the 19 th century. • (D) They used to come in one general pattern for all individuals and institutions.

• Wesla Whitfield, a famous jazz singer, has a unique style and life story, so I decided to see one of her performances and interview 1 her for my column. • I went to a nightclub in New York and watched the stage lights go up. After the band played an introduction, 3 Wesla Whitfield wheeled 4 herself onstage in a wheelchair. As she sang, Whitfield’s voice was so powerful and soulful 5 that everyone in the room forgot the wheelchair was even there.

• At 57, Whitfield is small and pretty, witty and humble, persistent and philosophical. Raised in California, Whitfield began performing in public at age 18, when she took a job as a singing waitress at a pizza parlor. After studying classical music in college, she moved to San Francisco and went on to sing with the San Francisco Opera Chorus.

• Walking home from rehearsal at age 29, she was caught in the midst of a random shooting that left her paralyzed from the waist down. I asked how she dealt with the realization that she’d never walk again, and she confessed 13 that initially she didn’t want to face it. After a year of depression she tried to kill herself. She was then admitted to a hospital for treatment, where she was able to recover.

• Whitfield said she came to understand that the only thing she had lost in this misfortunate event was the ability to walk. She still possessed her most valuable asset—her mind. Pointing to her head, she said, “Everything important is in here. The only real disability in life is losing your mind. ” When I asked if she was angry about what she had lost, she admitted to being frustrated occasionally, “especially when everybody’s dancing, because I love to dance. But when that happens I just remove myself so I can focus instead on what I can do. ”

• 惠特菲爾表示，她終於瞭解到，在那場不幸的意外中，她所失去的，其實只是行走的能力而已。她仍然擁有她最為寶貴的資產—她的心智。她指著自己的頭說：「所有重要的東西都在這裡。人生唯一真正的殘疾就是神智失常。」當我問她，對於自己所失去的東西，是否感到憤恨不平，她承認偶爾會感到挫折，「尤其當每個人都在跳舞時，我就會感到挫折，因為我很喜歡跳舞。但是當那種情況發生時，我就會離開現場，讓自己可以把心思改放在我所能做的事情上。」

• When I was playing too many games, I realized the only way to cut down was to set strict limits on myself. I got my family to help. We set an alarm clock to the time limit. When it rang, one of them would come in and turn my computer off. I also looked for new hobbies, such as riding my bicycle more often, and going out with friends. That’s what you should do, so turn off that game now and come and meet me and the guys. We miss you. Your friend, Jack
