作文：（30 分） When J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter was first published, readers rushed to the bookstores to buy her book. As soon as it was turned into a movie, people went to the cinema to see it. Likewise, the movies adapted from J. R. R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings have also been very successful. Some critics even predict that the appearance of the movie means the death of the novel, because people do not want to read the novel any more when there is a movie to see. Do you believe that the appearance of the movie is the death of the novel?

Reading comprehension. (閱讀測驗) Get a taste of Jamaica at this South Side takeout shop, which serves up some of the best jerk in the city. The scent of grilling chicken wafts outside this tiny space, where locals stream in to place orders through a glass window and wait for their food. There are no seats--just a long ledge--so most business is takeout. Jerk chicken and wings are the most popular dishes, and deservedly so: The smoky meat is mouthwateringly tender, with full-bodied jerk flavor that’s not overpoweringly hot. Other dishes include jerk catfish and shrimp, plus Jamaican favorites like escovitch and callaloo. 34 What would most likely be the nature of the above passage? A tourist’s letter to a friend at hometown An ad of a restaurant in a magazine A traveler’s personal journal An introductory paragraph from a tour guide 35 What does the bold and italicized personal pronoun “their” refer to? Grilling chicken and wings People working in the shop People living in the city Businessmen visiting the city 36 What is the most popular product of the shop, according to the passage? Jerk Chicken Jerk catfish escovitch callaloo 37 What would be the best title for this passage? The Best Restaurant for Dinner Jamaican Jerk Chicken A Glance at Jamaica Touring the South Side of the City Beware of those who use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression. For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!” This guy’s a wi nner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser! He didn’t say anything that was false, but he deliberately omitted important information. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest. Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this tactic. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents runs an ad saying, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true. However, an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.” Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false claims, so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might boast, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It fails to mention that they o nly asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation. This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well. 38 Which statement is true according to the article? Whenever people tell the truth, they are really lying. You can’t trust gamblers. All governors help their states. The truth can be used in dishonest ways. 39 This article was written mainly to advise its readers to ___. think carefully about what they read and hear always tell the truth to people never trust anyone who lies a lot vote for female candidates 40 What would be the best title for the article? Dig as Hard as You Can in Your Inquiry People Lie More Often Than You Thought People Can Lie With the Truth Medical Reports Are Often Untrustworthy 九十三年公務人員特種考試關務人員考試試題 代號：12160-12760

Cloze (綜合測驗) One of the first decisions many people make in the morning is what to wear. Our clothes 51 our individual styles and beliefs. Fashion trends change 52 the seasons, the years, and the styles introduced by the celebrities. 53 back at changes in clothing styles over the past few decades, it seems that fashion trends tend to occur 54 . What was fashionable twenty years ago, 55 , may come back into fashion again in the near future. You only have to pick up any fashion magazine to find what is considered “in” or “out” of fashion at the moment. 51 make a nuisance of make a dent in make an impression on make a statement about 52 of with in into 53 Look To look Looking Looked 54 on time with ease in cycles all of a sudden 55 for example if any in case surprisingly The head of Nike Taiwan, Hank Lin, bowed twice before cameras for their mistakes during Michael Jordan’s Taiwan visit.

Taiwan Jordan fans had been forced to purchase Nike sportswear to be able to buy tickets to see the NBA legend. But fans became angry 58 Jordan’s appearance in Taipei lasted less than two minutes. The Consumers’ Foundation threatened a 59 of Nike sportswear. But that was canceled following Nike’s apology and its offer to refund products 60 between May 1 and May 22-- in addition to giving exclusive posters and Air Jordan 1 Retro Low shoes to 700 fans. The company also promised to sponsor 30 community basketball courts. 56 who which where that 57 refusal promise insistence invitation 58 whether though however because 59 promotion recall boycott import 60 buy buying to buy bought One American laundry detergent company certainly realizes its mistakes now. It probably wishes that it had asked for the opinion of some Arabic speakers before it started its new advertising program in the Middle East. All of the company’s advertisements showed dirty clothes on the left, its box of soap in the middle, and clean clothes on the right. But people read Arabic from right to left, not left to right. For this reason, many potential customers in the Middle East saw the ad and thought, “This soap makes clothes dirty!” An anthropologist in Brazil noted the advertising for McDonald’s when the fast-food restaurant first opened in Rio de Janeiro. The advertisement listed several “favorite places where you enjoy McDonald’s products.” Clearly, the marketing people were trying to fit their product into Brazilian middle-class culture, but they made some mistakes. One suggestion was to visit McDonald’s “when you go out in the car with kids.” It seems that the writer of this ad never tried to drive up to a fast-food restaurant in a neighborhood with no parking places. Also not very helpful was the suggestion to eat McDonald’s hamburgers “at a picnic at the beach.” This ignored the Brazilian custom of consuming cold things, such as beer, soft drinks, ice cream, and ham and cheese sandwiches, at a beach picnic. It’s hard enough to keep sand off an ice cream cone. Brazilians do not consider a hot, greasy hamburger proper beach food. 61 The article is mainly about _____________. the daily life of Brazilians international advertising laundry service fast food 62 Which of the following is a detergent? Soap. Hamburgers. Clothes. Cheese. 63 It can be inferred from the article that the detergent company ___________. still does not know what’s wrong with its product is planning an advertisement in the Arabic world decided to withdraw from the Arabic market did not ask for the opinions of the Arabic speakers 64 Who are the target consumers in the McDonald’s advertisement? Arabic speakers. Brazilian swimmers on the beach. Middle-class Brazilians. Anthropologists in Brazil. 65 The soap advertisement was a failure primarily because _____________. Arabic people do not use soap the advertisement was in English the marketing people did not know enough about Arabic languages the soap could not thoroughly clean the dirty clothes of Arabic people If you had been in the city of Philadelphia on July 4, 1776, you 66 the ringing of a big bell, the Liberty Bell. From the town hall, the Liberty Bell rang out news of American independence. 67 would people use a bell to announce important news? 68 radio or TV, it was the best way at that time.

Almost sixty years later, it cracked. But it still remains a symbol of the United States. （請接第二張背面） 九十三年公務人員特種考試關務人員考試試題 代號：6201 科 別：各科別 66 heard would hear have heard would have heard 67 How When Why Where 68 Like Unlike With Without 69 immigrated gathered displaced fluctuated 70 After Although If Prior to In many countries, it is not unusual for families of different backgrounds to live together in shared space. However, in the United States, this idea may still be considered odd. But this type of housing, called co-housing, is gaining popularity in the US today. Co-housing complexes are popping up in cities across the country. For many people, this way of life is a relief to the busy modern lifestyle. About 25 co-housing communities have been built so far, and 150 more are planned and will be completed by 2005. In co-housing complexes, everyone helps take care of children and elderly residents. It’s also a place where residents shop, cook, and eat together. Residents there like its sense of shared community. Children have other kids to play with. Other residents like the feeling of living in a “village.” Residents also say that they can live in co-housing for less money than they would pay for nearby apartments. Some people may think that co-housing might be like a “hippie” commune in the 1960’s. But after they learn more about it, they change their minds. This is because privacy is still important to residents. They have individual houses, not one big house, as old-style communes did. Although they share the responsibilities of the community, each family still lives its own life. Will the trend catch on? It probably will never become the most popular form of housing in the US, but for many, it’s the answer to many of the problems of a busy world. 71 According to the article, most Americans today still consider sharing space with different families a(an) _______ idea. old good strange common 72 The sentence “Co-housing complexes are popping up…” implies the _________ of co-housing. history popularity origin disadvantage 73 There will be ______ co-housing communities in total in the United States by the end of 2005. 25 125 150 175 74 In the co-housing complexes, ______. people come from the same ethnic background people have a sense of shared community each family does its own grocery shopping and cooking residents spend more on housing than they would on apartments 75 One major difference between modern co-housing and hippie communes in the 1960’s is that ________________. in hippie communes people lived in the same house people in co-housing complexes do not have their privacy today hippie communes are popular, but not the co-housing complexes commune hippies shared the responsibilities of the community, but not the co-housing people Homeschooling has become one of the fast-growing phenomena in the United States, especially inside the black community. In fact, black children are now five times more likely to be homeschooled than they were five years ago. In conjunction with the usual public school concerns such as safety, many black parents also feel that their African American history is ignored in the curriculum. Ghia Johnson, a single mother of four, who has been homeschooling for seven years, is one of the many parents who feel that public schools are dangerous, ineffective and focus too little on African American history. "That takes precedence over math and science and all other subjects, because if they don't know who they are or where they came from, then I don't believe they will know where they are going," Johnson said. Ironically, many people are accusing black homeschooling advocates of turning back the clock on civil rights and integration in public schools. They argue that these parents are depriving their children of public education and, in the meantime, isolating their children from children of other backgrounds. However, others see civil rights as the freedom to educate as one pleases. Mark Mabson, a homeschooling father, said, "I want to be looked upon as an individual and as an individual I want to do what is best for my family. I don't have to follow the majority." 76 From the sentence “In conjunction with the usual public school concerns, such as safety… ” it can be inferred that ________________. public schools are very safe safety issues have troubled many public schools education on public safety is not put in the curriculum parents are more concerned about safety than African American history 77 It can be inferred that there are at least _______ people in the Johnson family. 4 5 6 7 78 What does the word That in “That takes precedence…” refer to? African American history effectiveness safety math 79 Black homeschooling advocates are criticized for violating civil rights because __________. these parents do not teach civil rights at home these parents do not allow white children to be homeschooled these parents force pubic schools to offer courses on civil rights these parents deny their children public education, which is part of civil rights 80 From Mark Mabson’s words, it can be inferred that ___________. Mark is homeschooling his own father most people look down upon homeschooling families Mark follows the majority in choosing public education system Mark regards the freedom to choose how one is educated as one’s civil rights 全二張 第二張 （背面）
