1. Which of the following inventions do you think has made the greatest
impact on people in your country, the airplane, the computer, or the
television? Please include specific reasons and examples to support your
choice.

Sample Answer
In my opinion, the computer has changed people’s life in my country most
significantly because every job in my country now requires a certain level of
proficiency in computers and a lot of work in our society has been
computerized. For instance, my uncle became unemployed after his previous
company decided to computerize all the accounting work. There used to be
seven people working in that department but now only one is needed because
eighty percent of the work can be done by the computer. Many people here are
struggling with their survival because they haven’t had the opportunity to
catch up with the information technology. Therefore, I believe the computer
has brought the greatest impact to people in our society.


2. Some people believe that talking with other people is the key to success
in college. Others believe observing others in silence is better. What is
your opinion and why? Please include specific examples and details in your
explanation.

Sample Answer
Personally, I think talking with other people is the key to success in
college because we can learn more about ourselves and the people around us
only though communicating with them. For instance, when I was in college, I
was very active in networking and went to lots of social gatherings on
campus. In my first year, I not only made friends with lots of students but
also got to know many professors well. These people offered me life-changing
advice whenever I was lost and I was able to thrive in college thanks to all
the help they gave me. More importantly, I also understood myself better as I
talked with these people. Therefore, I believe talking with others in school
is crucial to one’s success.


3. 閱讀：學校要擴建theater（proposal of adding seats in the Anderson Theater）
理由(一)座位不夠，很多show是學生們想去但買不了票的；
(二)賣票給學校提供經濟來源。

聽力：女生反對。
理由(一)大部分show都有位子，沒見到幾次能坐滿的，多數時間很多空座，
所以沒需要加seats；
(二)建造費用太大（這是big investment, construction cost a lot），
賣票幾年也不夠回本呀。

Sample Answer
The university is planning to add more seats in the Anderson Theater on
campus and the woman in the conversation opposes this proposal. First, the
university believes that there aren’t sufficient seats in the theater and a
lot of students have been unable to go to the shows they’d like to see
because they can’t get a seat. According to the woman, however, most shows
at the theater are not sold out and have empty seats available, so it’s
unnecessary to add more seats in the theater. Besides, the university would
like to use the additional income from selling more tickets at the theater to
fund itself. The woman in the conversation also disagrees with this idea
because the construction at the theater is a big investment and it will take
a long time for the university to recoup the construction cost. Thus, the
woman disapproves the new plan.

4. 閱讀：自我心理暗示（internal attribution）有正負兩方面的作用，負面的認為自
己做不好；正面的則起到積極作用。
聽力：教授舉了自己的一個例子，他曾經有一份internship 在 newspaper 裡面做
organizer，整理文檔之類的，第一周總做不好，他覺得自己不擅長文檔方面的
整理，這是負面的心理暗示；但他並沒有怪老闆或同事，而是責怪自己，這是
正面的心理暗示起了作用，他告訴自己仍需要改進，於是更加努力的工作，
慢慢地，他看到了成效，自己也能將文檔整理的很好。

Sample Answer
The term “internal attribution” refers to the act of looking inwards in
oneself for the causes of a certain situation and the process can create both
positive and negative effects. The professor uses his personal experience as
an example to show how internal attribution upsets but improves us at the
same time. When then professor was an intern at a newspaper agency, he wasn’
t able to file or organize the documents very well. Then he thought he wasn’
t good at this type of work; in other words, he attributed the bad outcome
internally to himself instead of blaming other external factors such as his
supervisor or coworkers. Internal attribution made him feel bad about himself
but also motivated him to do better. He realized that there was still room
for improvement and eventually, he found himself doing a great job organizing
and filing the documents.


5. 兩個學生在聊天，男生說他寒假要留學校幫教授出書吧，但是他是籃球隊的隊員，所
以學校體育館寒假關門讓他很困擾。
solution 1：去城鎮的gym買一個月的會員然後運動，但是一個月75元太貴了；
solution 2：自己在外面跑步，但是天氣太冷了。
問題：複述同學遇到的困難和解決方法，然後說一個你的看法。

Sample Answer
There man in the conversation is going to work on a new book with a professor
during the winter break but he won’t be able to use the gym on campus during
the break. He can either buy a one-month membership at a local gym in
downtown or go jogging outside on the streets. In my opinion, it is better
for the man to jog on the streets. First, if he chooses to work out at a
local gym, the membership fee will be seventy-five dollars, which is too
expensive for a college student. It’s always a priority for a college
student to learn to be financially responsible. Second, if he jogs outdoors,
he won’t have to spend any money at all and can enjoy the fresh air outside.
He can always put on extra layers of clothes if the weather is too cold for
him and his body will warm up quickly as he starts exercising. For these
reasons, I think running outdoors is better for the man.

6-3. marine biology。
海底魚會發光其實是一種ability to survive，有兩種自衛方式，各舉一個例子：
第一，突然強光。deep-sea shrimp，牠會在掠食者靠近牠的時候，用嘴巴發出白
光，讓掠食者temporary blind，趁機游走；第二，持續發光constant。
hatchetfish牠發光的位置在胃部，因為牠生存的環境，發光讓牠顯得是陽光穿過海
面，而掠食者shark是靠追蹤黑影dark shadow來補食，牠持續發光能迷惑hunter，
就不會顯露出黑影讓掠食者發現。

題目：描述這兩個動物怎麼利用自身發光躲避捕食者。

Sample Answer
In the lecture, the professor talks about two forms of bioluminescence in
deep sea creatures to avoid predation, including sudden light-spewing and
counter-illumination. In the professor’s first example, the deep-sea shrimp
is capable of spewing illuminating chemicals into its surrounding water from
its mouth when a predator is near. By doing so, the deep-sea shrimp can make
its predator become temporarily blind and escape from danger. In the second
example, the hatchetfish has been observed to glow constantly. The light is
generated from its stomach and the hatchetfish is able to match its light
intensity with the sunlight penetrating the water from above, which is known
as counter-illumination. Its predator, the shark, always tracks down its prey
by identifying dark shadows under the penetrating sunlight. With the ability
of counter-illumination, the hatchetfish can avoid being seen by sharks from
below.
