Those concepts certainly predated Christianity, and were, therefore,“pagan” in the eyes of the medieval church—a good reason for the alchemists of the Middle Ages to wrap their work inthe costume of metallurgy, and thereby hope to avoid being persecuted as heretics.The fundamental premise of alchemy is that there are precise correspondences between the visible and invisibleworlds, the worlds of matter and spirit, inner and outer, heaven and earth. According to the alchemical view,everything—plants, animals, minerals—contains a “seed” of divinity, and this seed can be developed through applicationof certain principles of learning. In philosophical terms, then, alchemy is the art of transforming the base metal ofignorance into the gold of wisdom, or divinity. Furthermore, according to alchemy, the material world is a reflection ofthe spiritual world, and should work according to the same principles. It should be possible, therefore, to transform thegrosser physical substances into more refined ones, or literally to transform base materials into gold.The secret of success in this latter process, however, is the secret that has eluded so many practitioners of the artthrough the ages. The most important secret ingredient in the science of alchemy is the alchemist him/herself. He or shemust have the power to attract and make use of the invisible spiritual ingredient, the “divine spark,” that brings about thedesired transformation. In other words, the alchemist must be able to “imitate the work of the gods.”

The problem is simply that, by definition, a brown dwarf is maddeningly difficult to see.So astronomers have resorted to rather indirect methods of detection. They have tried to find a dwarf whose gravity iscausing a bright star nearby to wobble. Or they have picked a bright star that should be emitting a certain amount of lightand looked to see if a dwarf companion is adding a little extra. Now the astronomer William Forrest of the University ofRochester has apparently succeeded in a direct approach: he says he has simply taken a picture of one—in fact, not just ofone but of several.It was not quite as easy as it sounds. A brown dwarf has less than 8 percent of the sun’s mass, which means it is notmassive enough to squeeze its core enough to keep fusion reactions going. In other words, it is not a proper star at all; theonly radiation it gives off is heat left over from its birth in a collapsing cloud of interstellar gas. With no internal reactor,the star quickly cools and gets too dim and brown to see.

According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT correct?Ankylosing spondylitis is a potentially fatal disease. (A)Negative emotions produce negative changes in the body. (B)Norman Cousins knew nothing about alternative treatments. (C)Watchi (D)ng comedy films and reading humorous books may improve a person’s body chemistry.第47 題至第50 題為篇章結構，各題請依文意，從四個選項中選出最合適者，各題答案內容不重複To be a tourist is one of the characteristics of the “modern” experience. Not to “go away” is like notpossessing a car or a nice house. It is a marker of status in modern societies and is also thought to be necessary tohealth. 47 In Imperial Rome, for example, a fairly extensive pattern of travel for pleasure and culture existed forthe elite.In the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, pilgrimages had become a widespread phenomenon practicable andsystematized, served by a growing industry of networks of charitable hospices and mass-produced indulgencehandbooks. Such pilgrimages often included a mixture of religious devotion and culture and pleasure. The GrandTour had become firmly established by the end of the seventeenth century for the sons of the aristocracy and thegentry, and by the late eighteenth century for the sons of the professional middle class. 48 There was avisualization of the travel experience, or the development of the gaze, aided and assisted by the growth ofguidebooks which promoted new ways of seeing.The eighteenth century had also seen the development of a considerable tourist infrastructure in the form ofspa towns throughout much of Europe. The whole apparatus of spa life was designed to provide a concentratedurban experience of frenetic socializing for a dispersed rural elite. 49 In the countryside work and play wereparticularly intertwined in the case of fairs. People would often travel considerable distances and the fairs alwaysinvolved a mixture of business and pleasure normally centered around the tavern. But before the nineteenthcentury few people outside the upper classes traveled anywhere to see objects for reasons unconnected with workor business. 50 Travel is now thought to occupy 40 percent of available “free time.” It is a crucial element ofmodern life to feel that travel and holidays are necessary.

In asonnet inscribed on the painting’s elaborate gold frame, the artist, a London poet and painter named Dante GabrielRossetti, identified his subject as Lilith, Adam’s first wife—“the witch he loved before the gift of Eve.” Adding a hint ofmenace, Rossetti garnished the scene with poisonous foxglove and an opium poppy (whose narcotic, it was widelyknown, had killed his own wife a few years before). Rossetti filled the background of the picture with sprays of whiteroses. With characteristic thoroughness, he had procured a huge basket of fresh-cut roses from which to work. And notjust any roses, but those gathered from the personal garden of England’s most influential art critic, John Ruskin. If youcould curry favor with the critics by painting their flowers, why not, Rossetti must have thought. Lady Lilith is thecenterpiece of an exhibition called “Waking Dreams: The Art of the Pre-Raphaelites from the Delaware Art Museum.”Widely if not universally praised in its time, disdained as mawkish and heavy-handed throughout much of the 20thcentury, the Pre-Raphaelites’ emotionally charged art is today enjoying a renaissance of its own.
