核心觀念
本題測驗印尼文新聞報導的閱讀與翻譯能力，重點包括：
- 疫情、病毒、疫苗與防疫相關詞彙。
- 被動語態與完成式表達。
- 關係子句與修飾語的判讀。
- 長句中逗號、連接詞及因果關係的掌握。
- 新聞文體的自然華語翻譯，而非逐字硬譯。
解題方法
翻譯時依照「先找主幹，再處理修飾語，最後調整為華語新聞語序」的方式進行：
- 先確認每句的主詞、動詞與受詞。
- 將關係子句翻譯成華語的定語或分句。
- 掌握時間、地點、因果、遞進等邏輯。
- 印尼文的被動句，依華語習慣翻成「被……」「已……」「在……」等自然表達。
- 對新聞中略顯冗贅的搭配，如「dampak pengaruh」，翻成中文時只保留「影響」的核心意義。
逐句解析
第一段第一句
Virus korona bermutasi, yang dikenal dengan varian Delta, pertama kali ditemukan di India pada Desember tahun lalu, dan kini tengah mengoyak negara-negara di kawasan Asia
- Virus korona bermutasi：發生變異的冠狀病毒。
- yang dikenal dengan varian Delta：被稱為德爾塔變種病毒。
- pertama kali ditemukan：首次被發現。
- di India：在印度。
- pada Desember tahun lalu：在去年十二月。
- kini tengah mengoyak：目前正在肆虐、重創。
- negara-negara di kawasan Asia：亞洲地區各國。
其中 yang dikenal dengan 是關係子句，用來補充說明前面的病毒；tengah 表示動作正在進行。
可譯為：
發生變異、被稱為德爾塔變種病毒的冠狀病毒，於去年十二月首次在印度被發現，目前正在亞洲地區各國肆虐。
第一段第二句
Australia dan Korea Selatan mencatat rekor penambahan kasus baru terbanyak
- mencatat rekor：創下紀錄。
- penambahan kasus baru terbanyak：新增病例數最多。
此處的 terbanyak 修飾新增病例數，不能翻成「病例最多的紀錄」而忽略「新增」的概念。
可譯為：
澳洲與南韓創下新增病例數最多的紀錄。
第一段第三句
yang turut menyebabkan negara lain semakin memperketat tugas pencegahan penularan
- yang turut menyebabkan：這也導致、同時造成。
- negara lain：其他國家。
- semakin memperketat：進一步加強、日益收緊。
- tugas pencegahan penularan：防止傳染的工作、防疫工作。
yang 承接前文整體情況，表示因疫情擴大而產生的結果。
可譯為：
這也使其他國家進一步加強防止疫情傳播的工作。
第一段第四句
selain itu juga terus mempercepat pengadaan vaksinasi
- selain itu：此外。
- terus mempercepat：持續加速。
- pengadaan：採購、供應取得。
- vaksinasi：疫苗接種；在此處依上下文可理解為疫苗的取得與接種推動。
本句省略主詞，承接前文的「其他國家」，因此不宜另譯為新的主體。
可譯為：
此外，也持續加速疫苗的採購與接種工作。
第二段逐句解析
第二段第一句
Media Reuters memberitakan jika virus mutasi varian Delta ini telah merebak di sekitar 100 negara di dunia
- Media Reuters memberitakan：路透社報導。
- jika：……一事、指出……。
- virus mutasi varian Delta ini：這種德爾塔變種病毒。
- telah merebak：已經擴散。
- di sekitar 100 negara di dunia：遍及全球約一百個國家。
此處 jika 並非條件句中的「如果」，而是新聞報導常見的引述連接詞，可譯為「報導指出」。
可譯為：
路透社報導指出，這種德爾塔變種病毒已經擴散至全球約一百個國家。
第二段第二句
第 三 題10 分
將下列詞語翻譯成印度尼西亞語：
- 聯合國
- 行政院
- 海關
- 移工
- 基本工資
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
核心觀念
本題考查台灣政府機關、國際組織及勞動相關詞語的印度尼西亞語固定譯法。解題時應掌握三項原則：
- 專有名詞須採正式通用譯名。
- 機關名稱須保留其組織性質，不宜逐字硬譯。
- 勞動用語須區分「移工」、「外籍勞工」、「基本工資」及一般薪資概念。
解題方法
依詞語性質分為三類：
- 國際組織：使用印度尼西亞語正式名稱及縮寫。
- 政府機關、公共事務機構：採台灣政府機關的慣用音譯或固定譯名。
- 勞動與薪資用語：依印度尼西亞語的法律及社會通用搭配翻譯。
逐題解析
- 聯合國 印度尼西亞語為 Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa，通常縮寫為 PBB。
- perserikatan：聯合、聯盟
- bangsa-bangsa：各民族、各國
因此正式名稱寫作 Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa (PBB)。
- 行政院 印度尼西亞語為 Yuan Eksekutif。
- Yuan：保留台灣政府機關名稱中的「院」之專有稱呼
- Eksekutif：行政的、執行部門的
「行政院」是台灣中央政府機關的正式名稱，不能僅翻成一般性的 pemerintah eksekutif，以免失去專有機關名稱的性質。
- 海關 印度尼西亞語為 bea cukai。
- bea：關稅
- cukai：稅、稅捐
bea cukai 是印度尼西亞語中「海關」的固定用語，也可依上下文指海關業務或關稅機關。
- 移工 印度尼西亞語為 pekerja migran。
- pekerja：勞工、工作者
- migran：移居的、移動的
第 四 題10 分
將下列詞語翻譯成華語：
- Pemanasan global
- Limbah organik
- Gempa bumi
- Kerja sama bilateral
- Mancanegara
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
核心觀念
本題考查印尼文常見複合詞、借詞及國際事務詞彙的詞義辨識。解題重點在於拆解詞語組成，再依整體語境翻譯成自然、符合臺灣用語的華語。
本題不涉及法條，以下詞義依一般印尼文用法解釋。
解題方法
印尼文複合詞通常可由各詞素意義推知整體詞義，作答時須注意：
- 先辨認核心名詞。
- 再判斷修飾語與核心名詞的關係。
- 最後翻譯成自然的中文，而非逐字硬譯。
詞語解析
1. Pemanasan global
pemanasan：加熱、暖化。字根為panas，意為「熱」。global：全球的、全世界的。
因此，pemanasan global 意為「全球暖化」。
常見陷阱是翻成「全球加熱」，雖能對應字面意義，但中文正式用語應作「全球暖化」。
2. Limbah organik
limbah：廢棄物、廢料。organik：有機的。
因此，limbah organik 意為「有機廢棄物」，亦可依語境翻成「有機廢料」。
本詞通常指來自生物或可自然分解的廢棄物，例如廚餘、落葉等。
3. Gempa bumi
gempa：震動、地震。bumi：地球、土地。
gempa bumi 直譯為「地球震動」，實際中文慣用語為「地震」。
其中 bumi 不宜單獨翻成「土地」後硬譯，應掌握整個複合詞的固定意義。
4. Kerja sama bilateral
第 五 題20 分
作文：
請撰寫一篇短文，說明臺灣政府針對目前在臺移工所實施的政策。文章最少 200 字，最多 500 字。
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
核心觀念
本題考查考生是否了解臺灣政府對在臺移工所採取的「管理與保障並重」政策，並能以印尼文清楚說明。內容應涵蓋：
- 依法聘僱、申請工作許可及雇主管理。
- 依《勞動基準法》保障工資、工時、休假及職業安全。
- 依《勞工保險條例》及《全民健康保險法》提供社會保險與醫療保障。
- 提供申訴、通譯及 1955 勞工諮詢專線。
- 防止人口販運、強迫勞動及非法仲介剝削。
- 協助移工適應臺灣生活，並維護雇主、移工及社會三方權益。
以命題當年（民國 110 年）法規為準，主要法源包括《就業服務法》、《勞動基準法》、《勞工保險條例》、《全民健康保險法》及《人口販運防制法》。現行法已修正部分外國人聘僱及勞動保障規定，惟本題仍依民國 110 年法規與政策作答。
解題方法
本題屬政策說明型作文，宜採「總說—分述—總結」結構：
- 第一段先說明臺灣需要移工，政府政策兼顧勞動力需求與人權保障。
- 第二段說明合法聘僱、工作許可、勞動條件及社會保險。
- 第三段補充申訴服務、語言協助、反人口販運及生活適應措施。
- 結尾強調政府希望建立公平、安全及友善的工作環境。
寫作時應使用具體政策與法規名稱，避免只寫「政府很照顧移工」等空泛句子。

第 1 題1 分
____ from Ireland, Italy, Germany, Poland, Greece, and other nations settled in the East Coast of the United States in the 19th century for different purposes.
核心觀念
本題考查英文單字詞性、語意及句子主詞判斷。
句意為：
____ from Ireland, Italy, Germany, Poland, Greece, and other nations settled in the East Coast of the United States in the 19th century for different purposes.
中文意義是：「來自愛爾蘭、義大利、德國、波蘭、希臘及其他國家的人，在 19 世紀因不同目的定居於美國東岸。」
關鍵片語是：
- immigrant：移民，指從原居地移往另一國家或地區居住的人。
- from＋地名：表示「來自某地」。
- settle in＋地點：表示「在某地定居」。
解題方法
先判斷空格在句中的功能。空格後接 from Ireland, Italy...，整個空格內容位於句首，並且後面的 settled 是動詞，因此空格應填入能作為句子主詞的名詞。
主詞須符合兩項條件：
- 必須是「人」，因為能從愛爾蘭、義大利等國家來到美國並定居的是人。
- 必須使用複數形式，因為動詞使用 settled，主詞語意上指來自多個國家的群體。
Immigrants 同時符合「人」與「複數名詞」兩項條件，因此句子完整且語意通順：
Immigrants from Ireland, Italy, Germany, Poland, Greece, and other nations settled in the East Coast of the United States in the 19th century for different purposes.

(A) Shipments
第 2 題1 分
The court’s decision was not ____ because there were a few judges who voted the other way.
核心觀念
本題考查英文單字詞義與語境判斷。
句意為：
法院的判決並非＿＿，因為有幾位法官投票表示不同意見。
關鍵線索是 a few judges who voted the other way，表示「有幾位法官投下相反票」，因此判決並非「全體一致通過」。
解題方法
先掌握句型：
The court’s decision was not ____ because ...
空格應填入能描述「判決不是全體法官一致同意」的形容詞。
unanimous 的意思是「一致的、全體同意的」。若有幾位法官投票反對，代表判決不是全體一致，因此填入 unanimous 最符合上下文：
The court’s decision was not unanimous because there were a few judges who voted the other way.
中文為：
法院的判決並非一致通過，因為有幾位法官投下相反票。
選項分析
(A) permeable
意思是「可滲透的、可透過的」，通常用來形容材料、膜或表面，例如：
permeable material 可滲透的材料
第 3 題1 分
His teachings were striking and ____, not only because of a variety of innovative teaching methods he used but because of what he taught.
核心觀念
本題考查英文詞義與語意判斷，並搭配句型：
His teachings were striking and ____, not only because of a variety of innovative teaching methods he used but because of what he taught.
空格前有並列形容詞 striking and ____，需填入與「引人注目、令人印象深刻」語意相近，且能描述其教學內容的正面形容詞。
- striking：引人注目的、醒目的、令人印象深刻的。
- memorable：令人難忘的、值得記憶的。
句中又以 not only A but B 表示「不僅因為 A，也因為 B」，說明他的教學令人印象深刻的兩項原因：一是使用多種創新的教學方法，二是教學內容本身具有特色。
解題方法
先掌握句子的整體語氣。句中使用 innovative teaching methods，其中 innovative 表示「創新的」，帶有明顯正面評價；後半句 because of what he taught 則表示「因為他所教導的內容」。
因此，空格應填入正面且能與 striking 並列的形容詞，形成：
His teachings were striking and memorable.
意思是：「他的教學令人印象深刻且難以忘懷。」
完整翻譯：
他的教學令人印象深刻且難以忘懷，不僅是因為他採用了多種創新的教學方法，也因為他所教導的內容本身。
選項分析
(A) ritualized
第 4 題1 分
This wildlife ____ is specifically built to provide a safe place for captive animals that become unwanted for a variety of reasons.
核心觀念
本題考查英文單字辨義與語境搭配。句意為：
這個野生動物＿＿，特別建造來為因各種原因而不再被需要的圈養動物提供安全場所。
關鍵片語是 wildlife sanctuary，意為「野生動物保護區、野生動物庇護所」。其中：
- wildlife：野生動物
- sanctuary：避難所、庇護所、保護區
句中提到 provide a safe place（提供安全場所），直接呼應 sanctuary 的「庇護、保護場所」之意。
解題方法
先抓句意中的功能描述：
built to provide a safe place for captive animals
也就是「建造來提供圈養動物安全處所」。因此空格應填入表示「庇護所、保護區」的名詞。
此外，wildlife sanctuary 是自然且常見的固定搭配，指專門收容、保護野生動物的場所。填入後完整句意為：
This wildlife sanctuary is specifically built to provide a safe place for captive animals that become unwanted for a variety of reasons.
意思是：
這個野生動物庇護所特別建造來為因各種原因而不再被需要的圈養動物提供安全場所。
選項分析
(A) butchery
butchery 意為「屠宰業、屠宰場、肉店」，也可引申為「殘酷殺戮」。
第 5 題1 分
Eight officers in this corrupt city police department were arrested for ____ cocaine.
核心觀念
本題考查：
- 動詞搭配與語意判斷。
- 介系詞 後接動名詞（）的用法。
- 犯罪與毒品相關英文詞彙。
句型為：
Eight officers were arrested for ____ cocaine.
其中 是介系詞，後面應接動名詞。四個選項皆為 形式，因此關鍵在於判斷哪個動詞能與 搭配，且符合句意。
解題方法
先觀察句意：
這個貪腐城市警察局的八名警官因為＿＿可卡因而遭到逮捕。
主詞是警察，且句中有 （貪腐的）與 （被逮捕），語境明顯與違法犯罪有關。能與毒品 搭配、表示違法販運的動詞是 。
是 的動名詞， 表示「販運可卡因、從事可卡因毒品交易」。因此選擇 (B) trafficking。
完整句意為：
Eight officers in this corrupt city police department were arrested for trafficking cocaine. 這個貪腐城市警察局的八名警官因販運可卡因而遭到逮捕。
選項分析
(A) resisting
表示「抵抗、反抗、抗拒」， 表示「抵抗」。常見搭配包括：
- ：拒捕、抗拒逮捕
- ：抗拒權威
- ：抗拒壓力
是毒品名稱，不是通常可被「抵抗」的對象。 不符合語意與慣用搭配，因此錯誤。
(B) trafficking
第 6 題1 分
The President reminded the officials that they should raise their level of ____ in debate and avoid tautology to achieve persuasion.
核心觀念
本題考查英文詞義與語境判斷。
句意為：
The President reminded the officials that they should raise their level of ____ in debate and avoid tautology to achieve persuasion. 總統提醒官員，在辯論中應提高其＿＿的程度，並避免贅述，以達到說服效果。
關鍵詞為：
- raise their level of：提高……的程度
- in debate：在辯論中
- tautology：贅述、同義反覆、以多餘字詞重複相同意思
- achieve persuasion：達到說服效果
在辯論中，若要具有說服力，應提升語言表達與修辭能力，並避免重複冗贅，因此空格應填 eloquence。
解題方法
先判斷句子的正面語意：
空格後接介系詞片語 in debate，需要填入代表辯論表達能力的抽象名詞。eloquence 意為「雄辯、口才、 eloquent 的表達能力」，特別指語言流暢、優美且具有說服力的能力，與句中 achieve persuasion 的語意完全一致。
完整句意為：
The President reminded the officials that they should raise their level of eloquence in debate and avoid tautology to achieve persuasion.
即「總統提醒官員，在辯論中應提升雄辯與表達能力，並避免贅述，以達到說服效果。」
選項分析
(A) ambiguity
第 7 題1 分
The manager’s wife divorced him after the ____ that he was having an affair with his subordinates.
核心觀念
本題考查英文單字辨義與語意搭配。句意為：
經由得知經理與其下屬有婚外情後，經理的妻子與他離婚了。
空格前有冠詞 the，後接 that he was having an affair with his subordinates，因此需要填入一個表示「揭露、披露、真相曝光」的名詞。
revelation 意為「揭露、披露；被揭露的事實」，可搭配：
the revelation that + 子句 揭露出……這件事
因此符合句意與文法。
解題方法
先判斷句型：
after the ____ that he was having an affair with his subordinates
其中 that he was having an affair with his subordinates 是修飾前面名詞的同位語子句，說明「被揭露的內容」為何。
將各選項代入：
after the revelation that he was having an affair with his subordinates
意思是「在他與下屬有婚外情的事情曝光後」，語意完整自然，故選 (B)。
句中的 was having an affair 表示「當時正發生婚外情」；have an affair with someone 是固定用法，意為「與某人有婚外情」。
選項分析
(A) objective
objective 可作名詞，意為「目標、目的」；也可作形容詞，意為「客觀的」。
代入後：
第 8 題1 分
Ethnocentrism refers to the belief that one’s own cultural group is ____ to all other groups or culture.
核心觀念
本題考查文化人類學與跨文化溝通中的 ethnocentrism（民族中心主義／我族中心主義）。
Ethnocentrism 是指個人或群體以自身文化的價值、規範與生活方式作為判斷標準，並認為自己的文化群體優於其他文化群體。因此，句意為：
Ethnocentrism refers to the belief that one’s own cultural group is superior to all other groups or cultures. 民族中心主義是指相信自己的文化群體優於所有其他群體或文化。
解題方法
判斷關鍵在於掌握 ethnocentrism 的核心定義：
- ethno-：民族、族群
- centrism：以……為中心
民族中心主義並非單純認為自己的文化「不同」，而是將自身文化置於中心位置，進一步評價其他文化，通常帶有「自己的文化較好、較高等」的偏見。
句型為：
表示「A 優於 B」。因此空格須填入能與介系詞 to 搭配，且符合民族中心主義意義的形容詞，答案為 superior。
選項分析
(A) inferior（劣等的、較低下的）
錯誤。inferior to 表示「劣於……」，若填入本選項，句意會變成：
自己的文化群體劣於所有其他群體或文化。
這與 ethnocentrism 將自身文化視為中心、優越的概念相反。若是認為其他文化優於自身文化，較接近文化自卑，並非民族中心主義的典型定義。
(B) superior（優越的、較高等的）
第 9 題1 分
Only by standing in ____ can they stay together to fight against and overcome any atrocious tyranny.
核心觀念
本題考查：
- 字義辨析。
- 固定搭配：
stand in solidarity。 Only by + V-ing所形成的倒裝句型。
solidarity 是名詞，意為「團結、團結一致、休戚與共」。stand in solidarity 表示「團結一致地支持某人或某一立場」，是本句的關鍵搭配。
解題方法
先觀察句意：
Only by standing in ____ can they stay together to fight against and overcome any atrocious tyranny.
句意為：
只有團結一致，他們才能共同對抗並克服任何殘暴的暴政。
空格前有 standing in，後方需要填入能與 in 形成自然搭配、且符合「團結合作」語意的名詞。stand in solidarity 是固定用語，因此選 solidarity。
句首的 Only by 表示「只有藉由……」，後面接動名詞片語 standing in solidarity。當 Only by 置於句首時，主要子句採部分倒裝：
本句結構如下：
Only by standing in solidarity：只有團結一致can they stay together：他們才能團結在一起to fight against and overcome ...：以對抗並克服……
選項分析
(A) regime
regime 意為「政權、政體、統治制度」，通常指一個國家或組織的統治形式，例如：
- an authoritarian regime：威權政權
- a military regime：軍事政權
第 10 題1 分
Many people in this country urge that laws that prohibit age discrimination and labor ____ be enacted as soon as possible.
核心觀念
本題考查英文詞彙辨析與語意搭配。句意為：
這個國家的許多人敦促，禁止年齡歧視及勞動剝削的法律應儘速制定。
關鍵搭配是 labor exploitation，意為「勞動剝削」。因此空格應填入表示「剝削」的名詞。
句型 urge that + 主詞 + be enacted 表示「敦促某事應被制定」，其中 be enacted 為被動語態，意為「被制定、被頒布」。
解題方法
先判斷空格在 labor 之後，必須形成合理的名詞片語：
- labor + hypocrisy：勞動虛偽，不合語意。
- labor + obligation：勞動義務，與前面的 laws that prohibit 不相符。
- labor + exploitation：勞動剝削，為固定且自然的搭配。
- labor + promulgation：勞動頒布，語意及搭配均不通。
句中 laws that prohibit age discrimination and labor exploitation 的結構為：
- laws：法律
- that prohibit ...：關係子句，修飾 laws
- age discrimination：年齡歧視
- labor exploitation：勞動剝削
因此完整句意與文法皆以 exploitation 最為恰當。
選項分析
(A) hypocrisy
hypocrisy 是「虛偽、偽善」，指表面上宣稱某種道德標準，實際行為卻不一致。
若填入後成為 labor hypocrisy，意思近似「勞動方面的偽善」，既不是本題所要表達的社會問題，也不是自然的英文搭配。
(B) obligation

【題組共用題幹】

- Thanks to the ____ of the Internet and television, adults and children alike consume sports at an astonishing rate.
核心觀念
本題考英文單字與上下文語意判斷。
句子為：
Thanks to the ____ of the Internet and television, adults and children alike consume sports at an astonishing rate.
空格前有冠詞 the，後接 of the Internet and television，因此需要填入名詞。依句意，網路與電視的「普及、盛行」使大人與小孩都能大量接觸體育內容。
prevalence 意為「普及、盛行、廣泛存在」，符合全文討論網路與電視促進體育活動普及的語意。
解題方法
先判斷句型：
the + 名詞 + of + 名詞
再依因果關係解讀：
Thanks to the ____ of the Internet and television 因為網路與電視的＿＿
後句說明大人和小孩以驚人的頻率消費體育內容，表示網路與電視具有高度普及性。因此空格應填入表示「普及、盛行」的名詞 prevalence。
完整句意為：
多虧網路與電視的普及，大人和小孩都以驚人的頻率接觸體育內容。

- Sports in society can even influence our understanding of gender roles and socio-economic issues, and they can help ____ city-, state-, and national identity.
核心觀念
本題考查英文單字的語意辨析與固定搭配，重點在於判斷動詞放入句中後，是否符合上下文的邏輯。
句意為：
運動甚至能影響我們對性別角色與社會經濟議題的理解，也能幫助＿＿城市、州及國家的認同。
空格後接的是 city-, state-, and national identity，表示「城市、州及國家的認同」。前文強調運動對社會具有經濟、政治與文化影響，因此空格應填入具有「塑造、形成」意義的動詞。
解題方法
先掌握全文語意：
- 運動在現代生活中具有重要地位。
- 運動能影響性別角色、社會經濟議題。
- 運動能增進觀光與城市收入。
- 運動能影響文化，甚至引發國家榮譽感。
因此，運動對城市、州與國家認同的作用，是「形塑、建構」認同，而不是破壞、崩潰或隱藏認同。
填入後：
they can help frame city-, state-, and national identity.
其中 frame 在此作動詞，意為「形塑、建構、界定」，符合全文所描述的運動對社會認同的正面與深層影響。
選項分析
(A) frame：正確
frame 原意為「形成框架、構成框架」，引申為「形塑、建構、界定」。

- Sports’ ____ effect on culture is especially evident among those who may not enjoy playing or watching sports—these people often still know the names of key players, and they may still take national pride in Olympic medals.
核心觀念
本題考英文單字辨義與上下文語意判斷。空格位於名詞片語 Sports’ ____ effect on culture 中，需填入形容詞修飾 effect，並配合全文判斷運動對文化的影響程度。
關鍵語意包括：
- immense：巨大的、極大的
- illegitimate：不合法的、不正當的
- surpassable：可以被超越的
- surmountable：可以被克服的
全文強調現代社會中的運動具有支配性的地位，並對經濟、政治、文化及國家認同產生重大影響，因此空格應填表示「巨大」的形容詞。
解題方法
句子可翻譯為：
運動對文化所產生的巨大影響，在那些不喜歡從事或觀看運動的人身上尤其明顯；這些人通常仍知道重要運動員的姓名，也可能仍會因奧運獎牌而產生國家自豪感。
前文已提到：
- sports played such a dominant role：運動扮演支配性的角色
- a tremendous economic, political, and cultural influence：產生巨大的經濟、政治與文化影響
- sports are so vital：運動極為重要
這些正面且強烈的語意，均與 immense effect 相互呼應，表示「極大的影響」。

- In fact, sports in society are so vital that the United Nations has ____ them a human right:
核心觀念
本題考查英文動詞的語意、搭配用法與句型結構。
句子為：
the United Nations has ____ them a human right
其中 指前文的 sports，空格後接名詞片語 ，需要填入能形成「聯合國已宣布運動為一項人權」的動詞。
解題方法
依語意判斷，前文強調運動在社會中的重要性，後文接著說聯合國已將運動與遊戲視為人權。因此空格應具有「宣布、宣告、正式認定」之意。
可用於句型：
表示「宣布某人或某事為……」，例如：
- declare him the winner：宣布他為得主
- declare independence：宣布獨立
- declare sport and play a human right：宣布運動與遊戲為人權
因此：
the United Nations has declared them a human right
意為「聯合國已宣布運動為一項人權」，語意與文法均正確。
選項分析
(A) attached
主要表示「附加、附著、連接」，通常使用：
例如 attach the document to the email，意為「將文件附加在電子郵件中」。
本句若使用 attached，應有介系詞 ，且「將運動附加為一項人權」也不合語意，因此錯誤。
(B) declared
表示「宣布、宣告、正式認定」，可使用：

The incredible thing about television is that characters have the potential to be represented in a million different ways. Unfortunately, producers tend to stick to the same few archetypes and tropes. Nearly every show about high schoolers includes a tough jock or a rebellious bad boy. As such, it is no surprise that television follows a few patterns and stereotypes when it comes to portraying intelligence.
One of the most obvious and frankly painful depictions of intelligence is the socially awkward genius. In spite of their high IQs and brilliant minds, these characters have trouble understanding jokes and other social cues. For instance, nearly every character in “The Big Bang Theory” acts this way. Most of the show’s humor comes from the contrast between the awkwardness of the brilliant physicists like Sheldon and Leonard, and the “normal” people like Penny, the waitress who lives across the hall. Another kind of intelligent character is the one whose abilities are limited to helping the protagonist. We thus can see that in the show “Arrow,” Felicity Smoak is a computer whiz who worked as an IT girl for superhero Oliver Queen’s company before joining “Team Arrow” as a hacker. She could do anything from finding shortcuts during a car chase to sending a greedy criminal’s illegally-earned income to a charity as a twisted form of blackmail—all from the comfort of her computer screen. However, when she wasn’t busy saving the world, she was reduced to little more than Oliver Queen’s love interest. The final type of smart character is the one that is constantly picked on. In a high school scenario, it’s the nerdy kid who gets shoved into lockers and made fun of. The show “Glee” created an entire series based on this idea. Even after the glee club won awards and competitions, it was still met with resentment from the majority of the student body. Although the audience wanted the students in the glee club to succeed, the prevailing theme throughout the show was that the kids who were smart and hard-working were not the ones who were cool and popular.
The fact is, smart people aren’t as unique as television makes them out to be. They should not be marveled at like zoo animals or be used as an easy target. Additionally, the characters who are presented in the media shouldn’t have their intelligence be their defining characteristic. Although television has come a long way in normalizing intelligence, there is still more ground to be gained in creating characters that are complex and interesting—not just smart.
- Which of the following patterns of organization does the author most likely use when developing this passage?
核心觀念
本題考「文章組織模式」（pattern of organization），重點在判斷作者如何安排段落與論述，而非只看文中是否出現某一種修辭。
「Generalization and example」指作者先提出概括性的主張、現象或分類，再以具體事例加以說明，使讀者更清楚理解抽象觀念。
本文主旨是：電視劇常以固定模式描寫聰明人，且這些描寫往往過度簡化。作者先概括指出電視劇對「智慧角色」有固定套路，接著列舉三種典型角色及其影劇案例，最後再提出整體評論。
解題方法
判斷文章組織方式時，可依序觀察：
- 開頭是否提出概括性觀點。
- 中段是否列出具體人物、作品或事件作為說明。
- 結尾是否回到整體性的評論或結論。
本文第一段先指出電視劇常使用固定的角色原型與套路，並引出「描寫智慧」也有固定模式。
第二段以三類角色為核心，並分別舉例：
- 「社交笨拙的天才」：以《The Big Bang Theory》的 Sheldon、Leonard 為例。
- 「能力只用來協助主角的聰明角色」：以《Arrow》的 Felicity Smoak 為例。
- 「經常被欺負的聰明角色」：以《Glee》的合唱團學生為例。
這些人物與影集都是用來具體說明前面所概括的電視劇角色模式，因此文章採用「先概括、後舉例」的組織方式。
第三段則從上述例子推導出總結：聰明人並沒有電視劇描寫得那麼特殊，媒體角色也不應只以「聰明」作為唯一特徵。這進一步確認全文是以概括性主張搭配具體例證來發展。
選項分析
(A) Simple listing（單純列舉）錯誤
文章確實列出三種智慧角色，但並非只是平行羅列資料。作者先提出電視劇常以固定套路描寫智慧角色的概括性觀點，再用《The Big Bang Theory》、《Arrow》及《Glee》的例子加以說明，最後提出整體結論。
因此，列舉只是文章中的表面形式，並不是最主要的組織模式。
(B) Cause and effect（因果關係）錯誤
因果組織要求文章主要說明某一原因如何導致某一結果，或某一結果由哪些原因造成。

- Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?
核心觀念
本題考查英文閱讀理解中的「主旨與標題判斷」。解題重點是掌握文章各段共同討論的核心，而非只根據其中一個例子或細節作答。
本文主旨在於說明：電視媒體如何描寫「聰明的人物」，以及這些描寫常落入固定模式與刻板印象。文章最後進一步指出，電視角色不應只以聰明作為唯一特徵，而應塑造出更複雜、立體的人物形象。
因此，最佳標題應能涵蓋全文所談的「媒體中的智慧形象」。
文章重點整理
第一段指出，電視劇中的人物常被套用固定的角色類型與模式，對「聰明」人物的描寫也不例外。
第二段列舉三種常見的聰明角色：
- 社交笨拙的天才，例如《生活大爆炸》中的 Sheldon 與 Leonard。
- 只負責協助主角的聰明人物，例如《綠箭俠》中的 Felicity Smoak。
- 經常遭受欺負或嘲弄的聰明人物，例如《歡樂合唱團》中的學生。
第三段提出作者觀點：現實中的聰明人並不像電視劇描寫得那麼特殊，不應被當成稀奇動物，也不應只是被嘲弄的對象。電視角色應具備更多元、複雜的性格，而不應只被「聰明」這項特質定義。
解題方法
判斷文章標題時，應採取「全文涵蓋度」原則：
- 先找出文章反覆出現的主題。
- 再觀察各段例子是否都服務於同一中心。
- 最後排除只涵蓋單一細節、範圍過窄或偏離主旨的選項。
本文反覆談到的核心詞包括：
- television
- characters
- intelligence
- smart characters
- stereotypes
- media
文章並非只討論某一部電視劇，也不是只談觀眾的情緒，而是全面探討「媒體如何呈現智慧人物」。因此，標題應選擇範圍適中、能統整全文者。
選項分析
(A) Intelligence in the Media
意為「媒體中的智慧」或「媒體如何呈現智慧」。
此選項正確。文中的電視屬於大眾媒體，全文從電視劇中常見的聰明角色類型談起，並批評媒體將聰明人物簡化為社交障礙天才、主角助手或受欺負的書呆子。

- According to the passage, which of the following statements about the TV character is NOT true?
核心觀念
本題考查英文閱讀理解，重點在於：
- 判斷文章主旨與作者立場。
- 比較選項內容是否符合文章敘述。
- 辨認文章中的人物類型與電視劇刻板印象。
本文主旨是：電視劇常以固定、刻板的方式描寫聰明人物，例如「社交笨拙的天才」、「專門協助主角的天才」以及「經常被欺負的聰明學生」。作者認為，聰明不應成為人物唯一的性格特徵，電視劇仍應創造更複雜、更有趣的人物形象。
解題方法
本題問的是哪一項「不正確」。解題時，應逐一將選項與文章中的明確敘述比對：
- 文章是否提到聰明人物容易被欺負或當成攻擊目標？
- 文章是否指出人物刻板化是普遍現象？
- 文章是否提到某類天才只負責幫助主角？
- 文章是否認為聰明人物通常具有幽默且複雜的性格？
前三項都能在文章找到相應內容；第四項與作者結論相反，因此選 D。
選項分析
(A) A clever person is usually used as an easy target. 聰明人通常被當作容易攻擊的目標。
正確。文章第三段提到，聰明人物不應被當作「easy target」。在第二段中，作者也描述第三類聰明角色是「constantly picked on」，也就是經常遭受欺負與嘲笑的對象。例如高中校園中的 nerdy kid 會被推進置物櫃、遭到同學取笑。因此，電視劇常把聰明人物塑造成被欺負的對象，符合本選項。
(B) Character stereotyping is a common phenomenon. 人物刻板化是常見現象。
正確。文章第一段直接指出，製作人往往固守少數幾種 archetypes and tropes，亦即固定的人物原型與敘事模式。作者並表示，電視劇在描寫智慧人物時也遵循某些 patterns and stereotypes。因此，人物刻板化是電視劇中常見的現象。

- According to the passage, why were the students in the glee club still met with resentment from the majority of the student body even after they won awards and competitions?
核心觀念
本題考查英文閱讀理解，重點在於：
- 依據文章明確敘述找出原因。
- 判斷選項是否為原文的直接改寫。
- 分辨「文章提到的角色特徵」與「題目所問的主要原因」。
文中談到《Glee》時指出：
“the kids who were smart and hard-working were not the ones who were cool and popular.”
意思是：合唱團學生雖然聰明、努力，也曾贏得獎項與比賽，但他們並不被視為酷、受歡迎的人，因此仍受到大多數學生的怨恨或排斥。
解題方法
題目問：為什麼合唱團學生即使贏得獎項和比賽，仍受到大多數學生的怨恨？
定位原文中《Glee》的相關句子：
“Although the audience wanted the students in the glee club to succeed, the prevailing theme throughout the show was that the kids who were smart and hard-working were not the ones who were cool and popular.”
關鍵資訊是：
- 合唱團學生是 smart and hard-working；
- 但他們不是 cool and popular 的人。
因此，正確選項必須表達「他們不受歡迎，也不被認為很酷」的意思，與選項 (C) 完全相符。
選項分析
(A) They don’t have high IQs and brilliant minds. 他們沒有高智商和聰明才智。
錯誤。文章明確將合唱團學生歸入「smart and hard-working」的人，並未表示他們缺乏高智商或出色頭腦。此選項與文章對他們的描述相反。
(B) They are neither tough jocks nor rebellious bad boys. 他們既不是強悍的運動健將，也不是反叛的壞男孩。

- Which of the following can best describe the tone the author creates?
核心觀念
本題考「文章語氣（tone）」判讀。判斷語氣時，須綜合作者的：
- 用字遣詞
- 對議題的態度
- 論述是否理性客觀
- 情緒強度與批判對象
本文主要批評電視劇對「聰明人物」的刻板描寫，包括：
- 將天才塑造成不擅社交的怪人。
- 將聰明角色降格為主角的輔助者或感情對象。
- 將聰明、用功的人設定為被欺負、不得人望的對象。
- 認為媒體不應以「聰明」作為人物唯一特質，而應塑造更複雜、立體的人物。
因此，全文核心是對電視媒體人物塑造方式提出有理由的批評。
解題方法
判斷語氣可先找出作者的「評價性字詞」及文章結論。
文中出現：
- “painful depictions”：「令人難受的描寫」
- “reduced to little more than Oliver Queen’s love interest”：「被簡化成主角的戀愛對象」
- “not just smart”：「不應只有聰明這項特質」
- “there is still more ground to be gained”：「仍有進步空間」
這些詞語清楚表達作者對電視劇刻板描寫的不滿與批判。不過，作者仍以具體作品和角色作為例證，逐步分析不同類型，論述方式以理性評論為主，並未呈現強烈憤怒、嘲諷或鄙視。
因此最適合的語氣是 critical（批判的、批評性的）。
選項分析
(A) Critical.
正確。作者指出電視節目經常套用固定的 archetypes and tropes，並批評電視媒體把聰明人物描寫成社交障礙者、工具性配角或受欺負的書呆子。文章最後更明確主張，媒體應創造複雜而有趣的人物，而非只用「聰明」定義角色。
全文雖有負面評價，但語氣仍屬理性、分析性的批評，故選此項。
