(A)transitions (B)transactions (C)translations (D)transformations第42 題至第46 題為題組In earlier time periods, the absence of dramatic transition to adult life allowed a more intensive interaction amongdifferent age groups within the family and the community, thus providing a greater sense of continuity andinterdependence among people at various stages of life. But, as greater differentiation in stages of life began todevelop, social and economic functions became more closely related to age, and the ages of family members becamemore streamlined, a greater segregation between age groups emerged.The major changes that have led to the isolation of older people in society today were rooted not so much inchanges in family structure or residential arrangements, as has generally been argued, as in the transformation andredefinition of family functions and values. Under the impact of industrialization, the family surrendered many of thefunctions previously concentrated within the household to other social institutions. The retreat and growing privatismof the modern middle-class family led to the drawing of sharper boundaries between family and community andintensified the segregation of different age groups within the family, leading to the elimination of older people fromvisible family roles. The transfer of social-welfare functions, one concentrated in the family, to institutions in the largersociety further contributed to the segregation of older people. The care of dependent, sick, delinquent, and elderlymembers of the community, which had been considered part of the family’s obligation in the pre-industrial period, wasgradually transferred to specialized institution such as asylums and reformatories. The family ceased to be the onlyavailable source of support for its dependent members, and the community ceased to rely on the family as the majoragency of welfare and social control.

(A)Instead (B)As (C)Otherwise (D)Accordingly請依下文回答第46 題至第50 題Las Vegas is a good restaurant town. It offers respectable culinary and ethnic diversity, served dependably. Hoteldining in Las Vegas is relatively homogeneous in style and cuisine, while proprietary restaurants try hard to be different.The restaurant business in Las Vegas is as much a psychological as a culinary art. In Las Vegas you can have the samemeal in an astounding variety of environments for an unbelievable range of prices.Left to its own devices, Las Vegas would be a meat and potatoes town. Owing to the expectations of its manyvisitors, however, Las Vegas restaurants make things extra special. There are dozens of designer restaurants, gourmetrooms as they are known locally, where the pampered and the curious can pretend they are dining in an exclusive Frenchor Continental restaurant while enjoying the food they like most: meat and potatoes.There are two kinds of restaurants in Las Vegas: restaurants which are an integral part of a hotel/casino operation,and restaurants which must make it entirely on the merits of their food. Gourmet rooms in the hotels are usuallyassociated with the casinos. Their mission is to pamper customers who are giving the house a lot of gambling action. Atany given time, most of the folks in a hotel gourmet room are dining as guests of the casino. If you are paying customersin the same restaurant, the astronomical prices you are charged help subsidize the feeding of all these complimentaryguests. Every time you buy a meal in a gourmet room, you are helping to pay the tab of the strangers sitting at the nexttable. This is not to say the gourmet rooms do not serve excellent food. On the contrary, some of the best chefs in thecountry cook for hotel/casino gourmet rooms. The bottom line, however, if you are a paying guest, is that you are takingup space intended for high rollers, and the house is going to charge you a lot of rent.Restaurants independent of casinos work at a considerable disadvantage. First, they do not have a captive audienceof gamblers. Second, their operation is not subsidized by gaming, and third, they are not located where you will juststumble upon them. Finally, they not only compete with the casino gourmet rooms, but also go head-to-head with thenumerous buffets and bulk-loading meal deals which casinos offer as loss-leaders to attract the less affluent gambler.

Which of the following word is closest in meaning to “segregation”? (A)selection (B)seclusion (C)separation (D)seduction第47 題至第50 題為題組We crave chills. It’s why we get a rush when we see Jason take his axe to some unsuspecting teen in “Friday the13th” or why we can’t seem to look away when Carrie, dripping with pig’s blood, sets her high-school class on fire.The real question is: why do we pay for the pleasure of being scared? On this, there are various schools of thought.Some believe that fans of horror (be it movies or books) don’t actually experience fear, but are excited instead, whileothers believe that people are willing to endure the terror because they know there is no real threat, that they areessentially safe. Still others feel that moviegoers are willing to be scared in order to feel a sense of relief at the end.Whatever the reason, movie studios like Seven Arts Pictures, a Los Angeles-based indie movie production company,are counting on customers who are willing to pay to be frightened, by releasing a horror movie like “Night of theDemons. ” In the movie, three friends attend a party held in a mansion where, years prior, six people disappeared andthe owner hung herself. “We think that people have a fascination with the dark side, ” said Peter Hoffman, CEO ofSeven Arts. “So even though a horror movie might be illogical on an intellectual level, people still like to beuncomfortable on an emotional level. It’s about people facing their fears,” he added. This explanation makes sense andexplains why we keep creepy haunted houses busy at Halloween, why we tell ghost stories around the campfire andwhy we turn out for horror movies like they were giving away free popcorn. It’s because we like it.

According to the passage, which of the following describes a gourmet room restaurant in Las Vegas？ (A)They are not part of a casino. (B)They serve only meat and potatoes. (C)They are creative and individual. (D)They are crowded and scattered all over town.

According to the passage, why do casino restaurants have an advantage over independent restaurants？ (A)Without rent, they are able to charge lower prices. (B)Their operations are subsidized by gambling revenues. (C)They offer room deals which include food at a considerable discount. (D)They are usually located in remote areas.
