Many wild animals do not **thrive** in zoos; they need the wild. thrive=?
解答:live successfully(成功生存)。thrive=繁盛、成功生存(live successfully),不只是勉強存活。

Reading 1「Wild in the City」全文主旨最接近?
解答:Human activity has led to evolutionary and behavioral changes in urban animals.(人類活動帶來都市動物的演化與行為改變)。主旨需涵蓋全文:人類活動同時帶動行為與演化兩種改變。其餘是過度概括或單一面向。
下列哪一項是「外型/基因的演化改變」,而非動物自學的「行為改變」?
解答:cliff swallows 翅膀變短。崖燕翅膀變短是基因層次、跨世代的演化;狐狸夜獵、烏鴉借車、junco 擇偶屬行為改變(不傳基因)。
依 Reading 2,垂直農場 (vertical farming) 為何不需要 pesticides?
解答:因為在密閉受控環境、昆蟲不構成威脅。垂直農場在 controlled environment,insects are not a threat,故不需農藥。
Critics 認為垂直農場 **impractical** 的理由,下列何者**不**屬於?
解答:用水比傳統農場多很多。垂直農場其實省水 70-90%(這是優點)。critics 三點是:作物範圍窄、靠非再生電力、成本高。
「Opponents believe that the project is too expensive.」這句在論證中是?
解答:counterargument(反論)。Opponents believe… 是引入對方反對的 counterargument。
**Random** mutations in genes are called mutations. random=?
解答:done by chance, not planned(隨機的)。random=隨機、非計畫地發生(by chance)。
Beneficial **traits** can spread through a population. traits=?
解答:characteristics(特徵、特質)。traits=特徵、特質(characteristics)。
挑戰權重 ×3
因果連接詞詞性:「___ the high cost, vertical farms are not yet common.」空格填?
解答:Because of(後接名詞片語)。後面是名詞片語 the high cost,須用介系詞 because of;because 須接完整子句(because the cost is high)。
「Birds with shorter wings survived. ___, genes for short wings became more common.」空格填?
解答:As a result(轉折詞,後接獨立子句)。空格後是完整獨立子句,須用轉折詞 as a result / consequently / therefore;because of / due to / thanks to 只能接名詞片語。
在「Tourist dollars are indeed attractive. However, too many communities suffer harm.」中,refutation(反駁)是哪一句?
解答:However, too many communities suffer harm.。第一句是 acknowledgement(讓步);However 起的第二句才是 refutation(反駁)。
(active reader)讀 Reading 2 時,最符合「主動讀者」做法的是?
解答:邊讀邊想 critics 的反論,檢視作者是否成功駁倒。主動讀者會主動想可能的 counterarguments,若作者成功 refute,才更該接受其論點。
(T/F/NG)依 Reading 2:「Urban indoor farms are more common in cold climates.」應判?
解答:Not Given(文章未提)。文章說垂直農場可在任何氣候運作,但未比較冷暖氣候的常見程度→Not Given,NG≠False。
(cause-effect chain)Reading 1 白足鼠案例正確的因果鏈是?
解答:住小公園 → 基因庫小、配偶選擇少 → 有利突變在族群中快速擴散。白足鼠被隔離在各自公園 → gene pool 小 → 有利突變(消化垃圾食物、抗汙染金屬)快速擴散。第三項是 junco、第四項是崖燕。
