111 移民特考三等 移民行政(選試法文) 外國文(法文兼試移民專業英文) 考古題詳解
第 一 題40 分
請將下列文章翻譯成中文:
Hier concentrés dans quelques mégapoles, les effets de la mondialisation redessinent aujourd’hui des centaines de villes. Et font des métropoles de nouveaux acteurs, majeurs, des politiques sociales, environnementales ou culturelles.
Toute ville mondialisée, ou qui aspire à l’être, travaille sur un ou plusieurs grands projets architecturaux, urbains, culturels : grands musées, marinas, tours de grande hauteur, palais des sports ou stades spectaculaires… Pour devenir une ville mondiale, il faut le signaler au monde, et pour le signaler au monde, il n’y a rien de mieux qu’un grand projet architectural. Le Guggenheim à Bilbao en est un des exemples les plus emblématiques.
De même, toutes les villes-mondes essaient de développer des événements sportifs ou culturels, cherchant à devenir un pôle vers qui les regards et les touristes convergent. Quand la Chine veut signifier au monde que ses villes ne sont plus simplement des agrégats de population informes, elle organise en 2008 les Jeux olympiques à Pékin, en 2010 l’Exposition universelle à Shanghai, en 2011 les Championnats mondiaux universitaires (quatrième grand événement sportif planétaire) à Shenzhen et en 2022 les Jeux olympiques d’hiver à Pékin. Les villes sont aujourd’hui en compétition pour organiser de grands événements.
Les universités sont elles-mêmes devenues des attracteurs mondiaux : elles permettent à une ville de montrer qu’elle est connectée aux flux mondiaux de la créativité technologique et de l’innovation scientifique. En témoigne l’importance que prennent les classements d’universités.

核心觀念
本題為民國 111 年移民特考三等「外國文(法文兼試移民專業英文)」的第一題長文翻譯題(法翻中)。命題主軸聚焦於「全球化(mondialisation)與當代都市治理、空間重塑與全球城市(villes-mondes)策略」,屬於兼具社會學、人文地理學與跨國流動視野的申論題材。
評量核心包含以下四大法語文法與翻譯觀念:
- 分詞片語與時間對照修飾:首句過去分詞片語(
Hier concentrés dans...)與句首主詞(les effets de la mondialisation)的性數配合修飾關係,以及過去(Hier)與當下(aujourd’hui)的時空對比結構。 - 特殊動詞句型與結構拆解:
faire de A B結構(使 A 成為 B / 讓 A 躍升為 B)。- 代名詞引介:
qui aspire à l’être中虛詞l'之指代,以及副詞性代名詞en的先行詞還原(en est un des exemples)。 - 倒裝句構:
En témoigne + 主詞(……即為明證 / ……便足以證明此點)。
- 專有名詞與時事事件對譯:包含西班牙地標與國際大型賽會名稱(畢爾包古根漢美術館、上海世界博覽會、世界大學運動會、北京冬奧等)之標準繁體中文官方定譯。
- 抽象社會科學詞彙的語境轉譯:如
agrégats de population informes(面貌模糊的人口聚集體)、attracteurs mondiaux(全球磁吸中心/全球吸引力來源)等抽象名詞的精確中譯。
解題方法
翻譯國家考試的法文申論題,應遵循「定結構 辨指涉 精確選詞 順暢通篇」四個步驟:
- 第一段:掌握對比與動詞支配結構
- 原文:
Hier concentrés dans quelques mégapoles, les effets de la mondialisation redessinent aujourd’hui des centaines de villes. Et font des métropoles de nouveaux acteurs, majeurs, des politiques sociales, environnementales ou culturelles. - 結構分析:
Hier concentrés...為過去分詞形容詞片語,修飾主詞les effets de la mondialisation(全球化的影響)。- 第二句由連接詞
Et承接前句主詞,核心動詞片語為faire de [A: des métropoles] [B: de nouveaux acteurs, majeurs, des politiques...],意為「使大都會成為……的新核心角色」。 - 譯法切入:先翻譯對比「過去……,如今……」,動詞
redessiner轉譯為「重塑」比字面上的「重新描繪」更符合都市地景脈絡。
- 第二段:還原中性代名詞與固定句型
- 原文:
Toute ville mondialisée, ou qui aspire à l’être, travaille sur un ou plusieurs grands projets architecturaux, urbains, culturels : grands musées, marinas, tours de grande hauteur, palais des sports ou stades spectaculaires… Pour devenir une ville mondiale, il faut le signaler au monde, et pour le signaler au monde, il n’y a rien de mieux qu’un grand projet architectural. Le Guggenheim à Bilbao en est un des exemples les plus emblématiques. - 結構分析:
qui aspire à l'être:l'代替形容詞mondialisée(立志成為全球化城市者)。il n'y a rien de mieux que...:否定比較句型,表「沒有比……更好的方法」或「莫過於……」。Le Guggenheim à Bilbao en est un des exemples...:代名詞en指代前述的「重大建築計畫(grands projets architecturaux)」。- 譯法切入:採並列陳述法翻譯城市類型,並將否定比較句轉為更符合中文排比修辭的肯定語氣(「莫過於……」)。
- 第三段:歷史現在時轉譯與生動用詞精準化
- 原文:
De même, toutes les villes-mondes essaient de développer des événements sportifs ou culturels, cherchant à devenir un pôle vers qui les regards et les touristes convergent. Quand la Chine veut signifier au monde que ses villes ne sont plus simplement des agrégats de population informes, elle organise en 2008 les Jeux olympiques à Pékin, en 2010 l’Exposition universelle à Shanghai, en 2011 les Championnats mondiaux universitaires (quatrième grand événement sportif planétaire) à Shenzhen et en 2022 les Jeux olympiques d’hiver à Pékin. Les villes sont aujourd’hui en compétition pour organiser de grands événements. - 結構分析:
un pôle vers qui [vers lequel] les regards et les touristes convergent:此處擬人化使用介系詞vers qui,指「眾人目光與觀光客匯聚的焦點/樞紐」。agrégats de population informes:agrégat為集合體、群聚;informe為無形貌、雜亂無定型的。整片語譯為「缺乏鮮明面貌的人口聚集地」或「面貌模糊的人口聚合體」。- 時態處理:法文使用「敘事現在時(présent de narration)」交代 2008、2010、2011、2022 年歷史事件,中文翻譯不需生硬加時態助詞,直接順序排列年分與賽會即可。

Composition française
Quelle est l’importance de la diversité culturelle ?
(Exprimez votre point de vue en un texte de dix à douze lignes.)
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
核心觀念
本題為公務人員特種考試移民行政人員(三等)「外國文(法文兼試移民專業英文)」的短篇法文論述寫作題(Composition française)。本科測驗考生在歐洲語言共同參考架構(CEFR)B2 至 C1 程度下的法語論述組織、邏輯架構與精確造句能力。
在專業領域與規範層面,本題緊扣移民行政的核心價值——「多元文化主義(multiculturalisme)」與「文化多樣性(diversité culturelle)」:
- 移民政策與法規連結:本題精神呼應我國《入出國及移民法》保障移民權益、促進族群和諧與落實多元文化之立法意旨(以命題當年民國 111 年法規為準;現行法雖於民國 112 年底大幅修正放寬居留及人權保障規範,惟尊重多元文化之立法精神始終一致)。
- 國際人權法理:接軌聯合國教科文組織(UNESCO)《世界文化多樣性宣言》(Déclaration universelle sur la diversité culturelle)第 1 條規定,文化多樣性為人類「交流、革新與創作的泉源」,對人類猶如生物多樣性對自然一樣不可或缺。
解題方法
本題明確限制篇幅為「10 至 12 行」(dix à douze lignes),屬於「微型論述文」(Micro-essai argumentatif)。考生不得隨意發揮長篇大論,必須在極有限的行數中完整展現清晰的論證結構:
- 結構切分與行數分配(以 11 行為基準):
- 引言(Introduction,第 1–2 行):界定文化多樣性在當代全球化與移民浪潮中的核心地位,直接回應問題(點出重要性)。
- 正文發展(Développement,第 3–9 行,共 7 行):提出兩個相互支撐的核心論點,並以邏輯銜接詞(D'une part... D'autre part...)貫穿:
- 論點一(智識與社會創新層面):文化交融是創意、知識更新與社會創新的源泉。
- 論點二(社會共融與民主價值層面):多樣性促進包容與相互理解,打破刻板印象,是建構「共同生活(vivre-ensemble)」與社會凝聚力(cohésion sociale)的基石。
- 結論(Conclusion,第 10–11 行):總結全文,重申文化多樣性是人類共同資產,強調其對維護人性尊嚴與和平共榮的不可替代性。
- 語言策略:
- 使用精準且高階的政策與社會學詞彙(如:cohésion sociale, altérité, vivre-ensemble, patrimoine commun)。
- 避免破碎短句,多採用關聯詞與從屬子句(subordonnées),在嚴格控制的行數內提高資訊承載度。
選項分析
本題為非選擇題(法文申論寫作題),無ABCD選項。依考選部國考外語申論題閱卷標準,針對本題要求與評分維度逐一分析如下:
- 形式規範(Respect de la consigne / Longueur):
- 題目明訂「dix à douze lignes」(10 至 12 行)。
- 少於 10 行視為論述不足、發展不完全,會遭直接扣分;超過 12 行則屬違反答題規定(不符合篇幅控制能力),同樣會被扣分。
- 主題切合度與深度(Pertinence et contenu):
- 不佳作答:僅將多元文化窄化為「飲食多樣、節慶熱鬧」等表面生活體驗,缺乏公務與治理視野。
- 優秀作答:能從「化解歧視偏見」、「豐富國家文化資本」、「健全民主共融機制」等層面切入,展現移民行政公務員之專業視野。
- 篇章結構與銜接(Organisation textuelle et connecteurs):
- 評分極重視邏輯推進。須具備清晰的啟承轉合連接詞(如 D’une part, D’autre part, En somme),段落銜接自然,不可雜亂無章。
- 文法與詞彙精確度(Correction linguistique):
- 動詞變化(Conjugaison)、陰陽性與單複數配合(Accord en genre et en nombre)、介系詞搭配(Régime prépositionnel)均不得有明顯失誤。
解題技巧
- 版面行數控制秘訣:
- 考卷為標準橫線答案紙,每行容量約為 10–13 個法文字。若要寫滿 10–12 行,總字數應落在 110–130 字之間。
- 動筆前務必先打草稿分配句數:1 句引言(約 2 行)+ 2 句主體論點(約 6–7 行)+ 1 句結論(約 2 行),確保落筆即在安全行數內。

第 1 題1 分
A new economic immigration bill was passed in 2018 to recruit foreign workers and talent necessary for Taiwan’s national development without affecting ____ job opportunities and wage level.
核心觀念
本題考形容詞的字義與語境搭配。句子要表達的是:政府招募外籍工作者與人才,以配合國家發展需求,但不影響本國人的就業機會與薪資水準。關鍵在於空格後的 job opportunities and wage level,也就是「就業機會與薪資水準」。
解題方法
先看句意中的對照關係:一方面招募外籍人才,另一方面須避免損及「國內的」就業機會與薪資水準。因此,空格應填表示「國內的、本國的」形容詞 domestic。
選項分析
- (A) intrinsic:內在的、固有的 常用來描述某事物本身具有的性質,例如 intrinsic value(內在價值)。不表示本國或國內,因此不符合句意。
第 2 題1 分
Interpol is an international organization that ____ worldwide police cooperation and crime control.
核心觀念
本題考英文動詞的語意與搭配。句意是:「國際刑警組織是一個促進全球警察合作與犯罪防治的國際組織。」關鍵在於 worldwide police cooperation(全球警察合作)與動詞的語意是否相符。
facilitate 表示「促進、使更容易」,常用於合作、溝通、進行等事務,符合句意。
解題方法
先判斷句子的主詞與受詞關係:Interpol 對「全球警察合作與犯罪防治」提供促進作用,因此空格應填入表示「促進、協助進行」的動詞。代入 facilitates 後,句意與常見搭配都通順:
Interpol facilitates worldwide police cooperation and crime control.
選項分析
- (A) probes:probe 表示「調查、探查」,通常指深入調查事件或問題,例如 probe a case(調查案件)。用在此處會變成「調查全球警察合作與犯罪防治」,不合句意。
第 3 題1 分
The law provides that an asylum seeker, a recognized refugee, or a person under humanitarian protection may not be ____ to the situation which would threaten his/her life or freedom.
核心觀念
本題考「遣返、送回」的英文用法,以及難民法上的不遣返原則(non-refoulement)。題幹指出,尋求庇護者、已獲承認的難民或受人道保護者,不得被送往會危及其生命或自由的處境。
解題方法
先看句意:「不得被____至會威脅其生命或自由的處境。」空格需要填入表示「送回、遣返」的過去分詞,與助動詞被動語態 may not be + 過去分詞 搭配。return 符合句意與文法。
選項分析
- (A) returned:正確。
return作動詞可表示「送回、遣返」;may not be returned to...即「不得被送回……」。這也呼應不遣返原則。 - **(B) replaced:錯誤。
第 4 題1 分
Under the Level 3 epidemic alert, the visa extension will be automatically ____ on the agency’s computer system. Visitors who would like formal documentation can have their passports stamped at the service stations as well.
核心觀念
本題考「字義辨析與固定搭配」。句意是:在三級疫情警戒期間,簽證延期會在機關的電腦系統中自動__;需要正式文件的訪客,也可以到服務站辦理護照蓋章。
空格應填表示「登錄、登記」的動詞,且與 on the agency’s computer system 搭配自然。
解題方法
先看句意:簽證延期會自動記錄在機關的電腦系統裡,因此空格要表達「登錄在系統中」。再檢查選項的常見意思與搭配:
- register something on/in a system:將某事登錄在系統中。
- enlist:招募、徵募;通常用於人員加入組織或軍隊。
- coin:創造新詞、鑄造錢幣。
- forge:偽造;語意與句子不合。
因此,符合句意與搭配的是 registered。
選項分析
第 5 題1 分
The Coast Guard Administration seized thousands of packs of ____ cigarettes, which had a street value of 14 million NTD, from a fishing boat in Keelung.
核心觀念
本題考形近字辨識與語意搭配。句意是:海巡署在基隆一艘漁船上查獲數千包「走私香菸」,其市價為新臺幣 1,400 萬元。空格需要填入表示「走私的」的過去分詞形容詞。
解題方法
先看名詞 cigarettes,判斷空格要描述香菸的性質;再由句中的 seized(查獲、扣押)及 street value(市價)判斷,這些香菸是非法運輸或販售的物品,因此應選 smuggled,意為「走私的」。
句子可譯為:「海巡署在基隆一艘漁船上查獲數千包走私香菸,市價達新臺幣 1,400 萬元。」
選項分析
- (A) snuggled:snuggle 意為「依偎、緊貼」,snuggled 是其過去式或過去分詞,與香菸或走私情境無關。
第 6 題1 分
While some immigrants are able to hold dual or multiple citizenship, others are required to ____ their original citizenship if they officially change their nationality.
核心觀念
本題考英文近義字辨析,重點在於區分 renounce 與其他拼字相近的動詞。句意是:有些移民可以保有雙重或多重國籍;另一些人在正式改變國籍時,則必須放棄原有國籍。
解題方法
空格後接 their original citizenship,表示要「放棄原有公民身分/國籍」。符合此意的是 renounce,常用搭配包括 renounce one’s citizenship(放棄公民身分)及 renounce one’s claim(放棄主張)。
選項分析
- (A) announce:宣布、宣告。常見搭配為 announce a decision(宣布決定),不表示放棄國籍。
- (B) denounce:譴責、公開指責;也可指揭發或告發。
第 7 題1 分
Tennis star Novak Djokovic faced deportation after the Australian government ____ his visa on public interest grounds, three days before the Australian Open was to begin.
核心觀念
本題考查動詞在特定語境中的意思與搭配。句中主詞是澳洲政府,受詞是 Djokovic 的簽證;因「公共利益」理由而對簽證採取措施,應選表示「撤銷、廢止」的 revoke。本題是字義與語境判斷,不涉及法條適用。
解題方法
先抓句子的關鍵搭配:政府因公共利益理由處理某人的簽證,句意是「澳洲政府撤銷他的簽證」。英文常用 revoke a visa 表示撤銷簽證;句中的過去式為 revoked。
全句可譯為:「網球明星 Novak Djokovic 在澳洲公開賽原定開賽前三天,因澳洲政府基於公共利益撤銷其簽證,而面臨被遣返。」
選項分析
第 8 題1 分
The digital environment opens new channels for education; however, children can also come across harmful and violent content or ____ of information online.
核心觀念
本題考「字義辨析」與固定語意搭配。句意是:數位環境為教育開啟新的管道;然而,兒童也可能在網路上接觸到有害、暴力內容,或資訊遭到__。
空格前的 harmful and violent content 指有害與暴力內容;後半句應接續描述網路資訊可能遭受的不當影響。manipulation of information 意為「資訊操弄」,符合句意。
解題方法
先讀句子轉折詞 however,判斷後半句是在指出數位環境的負面風險。再看 of information 的搭配,選出能表示資訊遭受扭曲、操控的名詞。
因此,句子可理解為:「數位環境為教育開啟新的管道;然而,兒童也可能在網路上接觸到有害、暴力內容,或遭遇資訊操弄。」
選項分析
- (A) manipulation:操弄、操控 正確。 manipulation of information 表示對資訊進行操弄或不當控制,符合網路環境中的風險,也能與前面的有害、暴力內容並列。
第 9 題1 分
Inspired by Malala’s courage, many young people all over the globe are joining her ____ to combat gender discrimination.
核心觀念
本題考字義與語境搭配。句意為:「受到馬拉拉勇氣的啟發,全球許多年輕人正加入她的__,以對抗性別歧視。」空格需要填入表示「為某個理念或事業奮鬥」的名詞。
crusade 可作名詞,指「為某項理念而投入的運動、奮鬥或行動」,符合對抗性別歧視的語意。
解題方法
先讀句尾的 to combat gender discrimination(為了對抗性別歧視),判斷空格應指一項倡議或奮鬥行動。再檢視各選項的詞義:crusade 符合「加入某人的理念運動」這一搭配。
選項分析
第 10 題1 分
The chapters in this book combine theory and extensive empirical data to provide a balanced account of government performance under the president’s ____.
核心觀念
本題考英文單字的語意與搭配。空格前的 under the president’s 表示「在總統……之下/任內」,應填入能表示統治或掌權期間的名詞。官方答案為 reign,指君主或統治者的統治期間;在本句中用來指總統任內。
解題方法
先看句意:書中各章結合理論與大量實證資料,對總統任內的政府表現提出平衡的說明。再比較選項,只有 reign 能表達「統治期間」,符合空格前的 under the president’s 以及句子的整體語意。
選項分析

【題組共用題幹】
For more than ten years, sociologist Martin Jankowski did participant observation of thirty-seven gangs in Boston, Los Angeles, and New York City. ____ stereotypes, Jankowski did not find that the motive for joining was to escape from a broken home because there were as many members from ____ as from broken homes. Neither did Jankowski find that they joined to seek a substitute family since as many boys said they were close to their families as said they were not. Rather, the boys joined to gain access to money, to have ____, such as girls and drugs, to maintain anonymity in committing crimes, to get protection, and to help the community. This last reason may seem surprising, but in some neighborhoods, gangs protect residents from outsiders. The boys also saw the gang as a(n) ____ to the dead-end jobs held by their parents.
Neighborhood residents are ____ about gangs. On the one hand, they fear the violence. On the other hand, many adults once belonged to gangs, and stated that since gang members are the children of people who live in the neighborhood, they often provide better protection than the police.
- ____ stereotypes, Jankowski did not find that the motive for joining was to escape from a broken home.
核心觀念
本題考介系詞片語的語意與上下文邏輯。in opposition to 表示「與……相反、反對……」,用來引出作者對既有刻板印象的反駁。
解題方法
句意是:「與刻板印象相反,Jankowski 並未發現男孩加入幫派是為了逃離破碎家庭。」後文指出,來自健全家庭的成員和來自破碎家庭的成員人數相當;男孩加入幫派的原因還包括取得金錢、享有某些資源、犯罪時保持匿名、獲得保護及協助社區。這些研究發現是在修正對幫派成員的刻板印象,因此應選表示「與……相反」的片語。
選項分析
- (A) Owing to:意為「由於、因為」,表示原因。放入句中會變成「由於刻板印象」,與後文反駁刻板印象的語意不合。
- (B) As a result of:意為「因為、由於」,表示結果的原因。

Neither did Jankowski find that they joined to seek a substitute family since as many boys said they were close to their families as said they were not. Rather, the boys joined to gain access to money, to have ____, such as girls and drugs, to maintain anonymity in committing crimes, to get protection, and to help the community. This last reason may seem surprising, but in some neighborhoods, gangs protect residents from outsiders. The boys also saw the gang as a(n) ____ to the dead-end jobs held by their parents.
Neighborhood residents are ____ about gangs. On the one hand, they fear the violence. On the other hand, many adults once belonged to gangs, and stated that since gang members are the children of people who live in the neighborhood, they often provide better protection than the police.
- There were as many members from ____ as from broken homes.
核心觀念
本題考上下文語意與成對概念的對照。前文以 broken homes(家庭破裂的家庭)為基準,空格應填入意思相對的詞,形成「來自某種家庭的幫派成員,與來自家庭破裂者一樣多」的比較。
解題方法
關鍵句指出,Jankowski 不認為加入幫派是為了逃離破裂的家庭,因為幫派成員中,來自空格所指家庭的人,與來自 broken homes 的人一樣多。由此可知,空格應描述家庭完整、健全的狀態,才能凸顯成員並非多數都出身於破裂家庭。
選項分析
- (A) rich:意為「富有的」。與 broken homes 並非家庭狀況上的相反概念,無法表達家庭是否完整。
- (B) tidy:意為「整潔的」。

- The boys joined to gain access to money, to have ____, such as girls and drugs.
核心觀念
本題考查字義與語境判斷。句中 to have ____ , such as girls and drugs 表示加入幫派的男孩想取得某些事物,後面的 girls and drugs 是例子,提示空格應填入能涵蓋這些事物的名詞。
解題方法
把空格與例子連起來理解:男孩加入幫派是為了得到金錢,以及女孩、毒品等娛樂或享受。選項中,recreation 有「娛樂、消遣」之意,最符合句意。

Neighborhood residents are ____ about gangs. On the one hand, they fear the violence. On the other hand, many adults once belonged to gangs, and stated that since gang members are the children of people who live in the neighborhood, they often provide better protection than the police.
- The boys also saw the gang as a(n) ____ to the dead-end jobs held by their parents.
核心觀念
本題考查字義辨析與語境判讀。句中 alternative to 表示「相對於……的另一種選擇」,適合用來描述幫派與父母所從事的無出路工作之間的關係。
解題方法
先抓住句子的比較結構:男孩把幫派看成父母那些「dead-end jobs(沒有發展前景的工作)」的某種選擇。前文也提到,男孩加入幫派是為了取得金錢、享有某些事物、獲得保護或協助社區,顯示幫派提供了不同於父母工作處境的出路。
因此空格應填 alternative,構成 an alternative to ...,意為「……的替代選擇」。
選項分析
- (A) dilemma:「困境、進退兩難」。a dilemma to the dead-end jobs 不符合句意;句子要表達的是另一種選擇,而非另一個困境。

Neighborhood residents are ____ about gangs. On the one hand, they fear the violence. On the other hand, many adults once belonged to gangs, and stated that since gang members are the children of people who live in the neighborhood, they often provide better protection than the police.
- Neighborhood residents are ____ about gangs.
核心觀念
本題考查字彙辨義與上下文推論。解題關鍵是理解 ambivalent:對同一對象抱持矛盾、相反或複雜的感受。文章指出,居民一方面害怕幫派暴力;另一方面,有些成年人曾是幫派成員,並認為幫派成員有時比警察更能保護社區,呈現正反並存的態度。
解題方法
先讀空格前後的對比訊號 On the one hand ... On the other hand ...(一方面……另一方面……)。前者描述居民害怕幫派暴力;後者則說明居民肯定幫派對社區的保護作用。居民對幫派同時有負面與正面看法,因此應選表示「矛盾、複雜」的形容詞 ambivalent。

【題組共用題幹】
College classrooms are often drab and dreary places. Walls are painted a variation of “institutional gray”; furniture is easy to clean, but uncomfortable and unattractive. Chairs are lined up in straight rows facing the teacher’s desk or lectern. In one study, over 80% of university students rated their classrooms negatively, describing them as ugly, cramped, stuffy, and uncomfortable. The research by environmental psychologists is beginning to show that unattractive classrooms are not only unappealing; they may also adversely affect academic performance.
A more carefully controlled study of classroom environments was conducted a few years ago. The researchers selected two identical classrooms located side by side in the psychology building. The control classroom, which they called the “sterile classroom,” had white walls, a gray carpet, and rows of plastic desks. Besides, an alcohol-based beautiful hand sanitizer was placed in the room for students to use. The experimental classroom, which they called the “friendly classroom,” was redecorated with the help of a design consultant. Several walls were painted bright colors, art posters hung on the walls, large plants added to the room, and colorful Chinese kites hung from the ceiling. In addition to traditional desks, a part of the room was outfitted with area rugs, color-coordinated cushions, and wooden cubes to provide nontraditional seating.
The researchers investigated how these two different environments affected performance in actual college classes. Two professors teaching introductory psychology agreed to participate in the study although they were not informed of the purpose of the research. When school began, each class was randomly assigned to one of the two rooms. Halfway through the term, the classes switched rooms. Thus, students in both classes spent half the term in the control room and half in the experimental room. Students were not told they were being studied; the switch in rooms was explained as occurring because the original room was needed for videotaping. The most striking finding from this study was that students performed significantly better on regular course exams when they were in the friendly rather than the sterile room.
- According to this passage, the word “sterile” means ____.
核心觀念
本題考查字義判斷,應根據上下文推論 sterile 在文中的意思。這個字可表示「無菌的、消毒的」,也可比喻「缺乏生氣的、單調乏味的」。

文章將兩間教室作對比:「sterile classroom」有白牆、灰色地毯和塑膠桌椅;「friendly classroom」則有鮮豔色彩、藝術海報、植物、風箏與舒適的非傳統座位。研究結果也指出,學生在 friendly classroom 的考試表現更好。
因此,這裡的 sterile 描寫的是缺乏色彩與活力、令人感到單調的教室,意思是「死氣沉沉的」。

College classrooms are often drab and dreary places. Walls are painted a variation of “institutional gray”; furniture is easy to clean, but uncomfortable and unattractive. Chairs are lined up in straight rows facing the teacher’s desk or lectern. In one study, over 80% of university students rated their classrooms negatively, describing them as ugly, cramped, stuffy, and uncomfortable. The research by environmental psychologists is beginning to show that unattractive classrooms are not only unappealing; they may also adversely affect academic performance.
A more carefully controlled study of classroom environments was conducted a few years ago. The researchers selected two identical classrooms located side by side in the psychology building. The control classroom, which they called the “sterile classroom,” had white walls, a gray carpet, and rows of plastic desks. Besides, an alcohol-based beautiful hand sanitizer was placed in the room for students to use. The experimental classroom, which they called the “friendly classroom,” was redecorated with the help of a design consultant. Several walls were painted bright colors, art posters hung on the walls, large plants added to the room, and colorful Chinese kites hung from the ceiling. In addition to traditional desks, a part of the room was outfitted with area rugs, color-coordinated cushions, and wooden cubes to provide nontraditional seating.
The researchers investigated how these two different environments affected performance in actual college classes. Two professors teaching introductory psychology agreed to participate in the study although they were not informed of the purpose of the research. When school began, each class was randomly assigned to one of the two rooms. Halfway through the term, the classes switched rooms. Thus, students in both classes spent half the term in the control room and half in the experimental room. Students were not told they were being studied; the switch in rooms was explained as occurring because the original room was needed for videotaping. The most striking finding from this study was that students performed significantly better on regular course exams when they were in the friendly rather than the sterile room.
- The main pattern of organization of the second paragraph is ____.
核心觀念
本題考查段落組織方式。判斷時要看作者如何安排資訊:依時間先後敘述屬於 time order;先說明概念再舉例屬於 definition and example;說明原因與結果屬於 cause and effect;並列兩個對象的異同則屬於 comparison and/or contrast。
解題方法
第二段先介紹兩間相鄰、條件相同的教室,再分別描述:
- 對照組「sterile classroom」:白牆、灰色地毯、成排塑膠桌椅。
- 實驗組「friendly classroom」:明亮色彩、藝術海報、大型植物、風箏,以及地毯、坐墊、木製方塊等座位。
段落的主要安排方式,是把兩種教室的布置並列描述,呈現它們在色彩、裝飾與座位配置上的差異,因此屬於比較/對比。雖然文中也提到研究人員如何布置教室,但這些細節主要用來凸顯兩個教室的不同。

核心觀念
本題考查根據文章內容推論研究參與者可能察覺研究目的的原因。關鍵資訊是:兩位教授不知道研究目的,但研究比較了兩間布置差異明顯的教室。
解題方法
先找出兩位教授可能觀察到、而學生未必注意到的線索。文章指出,一間教室是「sterile classroom」,牆面與家具配置單調;另一間則有明亮色彩、藝術海報、植物、風箏,以及地毯、靠墊和木製座椅。教授在兩間教室授課,容易察覺其中一間的布置相當特別,因此可能推測研究與教室環境有關。
選項分析
-
(A) they had read about the interests of the researchers 錯誤。文章沒有提到教授讀過研究者的研究興趣,也沒有提供這項資訊作為推論依據。
-
(B) one of the two rooms they taught in was decorated unusually 正確。

- The sentence “____” best expresses the central point of this passage.
核心觀念
本題考查英文閱讀中的「主旨判斷」。主旨是文章最核心、涵蓋範圍最廣的觀點;段落中的例子、研究設計與細節,通常用來支持或說明主旨。
解題方法
先讀首段,掌握作者提出的問題:教室環境不佳,可能不只是令人不舒服,也可能影響學業表現。再看後文如何發展:研究者比較布置簡陋的教室與布置友善的教室,結果學生在友善教室上課時,考試表現較好。
因此,文章主旨是「不吸引人的教室可能對學業表現造成不利影響」;後面的研究是支持這個觀點的證據,首段的描述則是引出議題的背景。
選項分析
-
(A) College classrooms are often drab and dreary places. 「大學教室通常單調沉悶。」這是文章開頭的背景描述,只涉及教室外觀,沒有涵蓋全文關於教室環境與學業表現的關聯,範圍太窄。
-
(B) In one study, over 80% of university students rated their classrooms negatively, describing them as ugly, cramped, stuffy, and uncomfortable. 「一項研究中,超過八成的大學生對教室評價負面,認為教室醜陋、擁擠、悶熱且不舒服。」這是用來說明教室不受學生歡迎的具體統計資料,屬於細節,並非全文主旨。

核心觀念
本題考閱讀理解中的「段落細節與支持關係」:判斷哪個句子沒有提供研究者如何布置兩間教室的相關資訊。解題時要區分「教室的環境設定」與「與教室布置無關的細節」。
解題方法
先找出題目所問的「setting of the two classrooms」,也就是兩間教室的地點、裝潢、家具或其他環境安排,再逐一比對選項是否支持這個主題。
文章交代研究者選了兩間相鄰的教室;「sterile classroom」有白牆、灰色地毯與塑膠桌;「friendly classroom」則有彩色牆面、藝術海報、植物、風箏,以及地毯、坐墊與木製方塊座椅。只有酒精性洗手液不是教室環境設定的相關描述,因此官方答案為 B。
