第 一 題25 分
Terjemahkan tulisan di bawah ini ke dalam bahasa Mandarin.
Fenomena Tenaga kerja Indonesia atau TKI kaburan di Taiwan nampaknya belum berakhir. Menurut Laporan Statistik dari National Immigration Agency (NIA) Taiwan, sampai dengan saat ini jumlah kaburan sekitar 24,000 orang dan telah menjadi perhatian sejumlah pihak. Ternyata, TKI kaburan dinilai sangat berisiko dan bisa jadi pemicu masalah bagi dirinya sendiri atau bahkan bagi pemerintah Indonesia dan Taiwan. TKI kaburan dapat diartikan sebagai TKI yang kabur dari majikan atau mereka yang bekerja di Taiwan secara ilegal, melalui agen ilegal atau bahkan tidak memiliki visa untuk bekerja. Kaburan umumnya dipicu oleh ketidakbetahan, ketidakpuasan, gagal menyesuaikan diri dengan kondisi yang ada, pekerjaan tidak sesuai dengan yang diharapkan, tidak mengetahui saluran pengaduan, maupun dipengaruhi oleh oknum tertentu dengan iming-iming gaji tinggi atau fasilitas yang lebih baik, atau ingin mendapatkan kebebasan.

核心觀念
本題為印尼文翻譯,重點是掌握移工與移民行政相關詞彙,並依原文語意及句間關係轉譯。全文說明臺灣印尼籍逃逸移工的現象、官方統計、可能風險、逃逸移工的定義,以及造成逃逸的原因。這是語言翻譯題,不涉及法條或計算。
解題方法
先依句意切分段落,再逐句翻譯,並保留原文的因果、列舉及轉折關係:
- 首句點出逃逸移工問題仍未結束。
- 第二、三句交代統計數字及其引發的關注與風險。
- 第四句界定「逃逸移工」。
- 末句列舉逃逸原因。
詞語處理上,Tenaga kerja Indonesia (TKI) 是「印尼籍勞工」;TKI kaburan 指逃逸或失聯的印尼籍移工;majikan 是「雇主」;saluran pengaduan 是「申訴管道」;oknum tertentu 指特定人士或不肖人士;iming-iming 則是以某種利益作為誘因。
參考譯文
印尼籍勞工逃逸(以下簡稱逃逸移工)的現象在臺灣看來仍未結束。根據臺灣內政部移民署(National Immigration Agency, NIA)的統計報告,截至目前,逃逸移工人數約為二萬四千人,並已引起各界關注。事實上,逃逸移工被認為具有相當高的風險,可能引發影響自身,甚至影響印尼政府或臺灣政府的問題。
逃逸移工是指逃離雇主,或透過非法仲介在臺非法工作,甚至沒有工作簽證便在臺工作的印尼籍勞工。
第 二 題25 分
Terjemahkan tulisan di bawah ini ke dalam bahasa Indonesia.
「直接聘僱聯合服務中心」是勞動部所成立的單一服務窗口,協助希望使用直接聘僱方式的雇主引進移工,並提供各國語言的諮詢服務,而且還不收取任何服務費用。若是需要重新招募同一看護工的家庭類雇主,現在有了不同的選擇,可以不透過仲介業者,以「直接聘僱」方式向勞動部申請移工。直接聘僱最大的好處是不須支付仲介公司服務費,讓移工實領較高的薪資。不過,即使有些大型工廠或公司已經開始使用直接聘僱的方式,甚至願意飛到海外去面試移工,但是數據顯示,對於一般家庭雇主來說,自己招聘移工還是具有一定的難度,仍然是相對不容易以及不友善的選項。關注移工權益的非營利組織表示,政府應該舉辦更多的說明會或課程;或簡化申請流程,以協助雇主進行直接聘僱的申請。
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
核心觀念
本題考印尼文中譯印,重點是把勞動政策與移工聘僱相關用語,準確轉換成自然、正式的印尼文。翻譯時須保留原文的資訊與語氣,包括服務中心的職能、直接聘僱的優點、家庭雇主面臨的困難,以及非營利組織對政府的建議。
解題方法
先依段落內容分成四個語意單位,再逐句翻譯:
- 說明「直接聘僱聯合服務中心」的設立機關、服務對象與服務內容。
- 說明家庭雇主重新聘僱同一名看護工時,可選擇直接向勞動部申請。
- 對照直接聘僱的優點與一般家庭雇主自行招募的實際困難。
- 翻譯非營利組織提出的政策建議。
專有名詞採明確的印尼文表達:「勞動部」譯為 Kementerian Ketenagakerjaan;「移工」譯為 pekerja migran;「直接聘僱」譯為 perekrutan langsung。
參考譯文
Pusat Layanan Terpadu Perekrutan Langsung adalah satu pintu layanan yang didirikan oleh Kementerian Ketenagakerjaan untuk membantu para pemberi kerja yang ingin menggunakan cara perekrutan langsung dalam mendatangkan pekerja migran. Pusat ini juga menyediakan layanan konsultasi dalam berbagai bahasa dan tidak memungut biaya layanan apa pun.
Bagi pemberi kerja perorangan yang perlu merekrut kembali pekerja rumah tangga yang sama, kini tersedia pilihan lain. Mereka dapat mengajukan permohonan kepada Kementerian Ketenagakerjaan untuk merekrut pekerja migran secara langsung tanpa melalui perusahaan penempatan tenaga kerja. Keuntungan terbesar perekrutan langsung adalah pemberi kerja tidak perlu membayar biaya layanan kepada perusahaan penempatan, sehingga

登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
核心觀念
本題是印尼文作文題,要求考生就「在臺移工呼籲修法,讓外籍移工(PMA,pekerja migran asing)能自由更換雇主」表達贊成或反對,並以印尼文寫出 200 至 500 字的文章。重點在於能否明確表態、提出理由、兼顧移工權益與雇主需求,並以清楚的段落組織論述。題目沒有唯一立場,也沒有選項或計算;以下提供一篇贊成修法的示範,作為組織答案的參考。
解題方法
建議依「表態—理由—平衡觀點—結論」安排文章:開頭直接表明立場;接著說明允許更換雇主可降低剝削風險、改善勞動條件,並提升雇主留才誘因;再補充更換程序仍須妥善管理,以兼顧勞動市場秩序;結尾重申立場。此寫法能正面回答題目,也能呈現完整論證。示範文共約 230 個印尼文單字,符合 200 至 500 字要求。
印尼文範文
Menurut saya, pemerintah Taiwan sebaiknya mengubah hukum agar pekerja migran asing dapat berganti majikan dengan lebih bebas. Kebebasan tersebut penting karena pekerja migran juga memiliki hak untuk bekerja dalam lingkungan yang aman, adil, dan manusiawi.
Pertama, sebagian pekerja migran mengalami masalah seperti gaji yang tidak dibayar tepat waktu, jam kerja yang berlebihan, perlakuan kasar, atau pekerjaan yang berbeda dari isi kontrak. Jika mereka tidak dapat berganti majikan, mereka mungkin takut melapor karena khawatir kehilangan pekerjaan atau izin tinggal. Dengan adanya pilihan untuk pindah kerja, pekerja dapat mencari majikan yang lebih baik dan lebih bertanggung jawab. Hal ini juga dapat mengurangi risiko eksploitasi dan perdagangan manusia.
第 1 題1 分
While TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) claimed the April-third earthquake did not have a major ____ on its production, it saw some disruption to its operations.
核心觀念
本題考英文單字與常見搭配。句意為:「台積電表示,4 月 3 日地震對其生產沒有造成重大__,但營運仍受到一些干擾。」空格需要填入能表示「影響」且可與 on 搭配的名詞。
解題方法
觀察句型 have an impact on + 名詞,意思是「對……造成影響」。空格前有 a major,後面接 on its production,因此應填入能構成此固定搭配的名詞 impact。
整句可譯為:「台積電表示,4 月 3 日地震對其生產沒有造成重大影響,但營運仍受到一些干擾。」
選項分析
- (A) satisfaction:滿意、滿足。常見搭配如 job satisfaction(工作滿意度),不能合理構成此處「對生產造成重大影響」的語意。
第 2 題1 分
Those who facilitate or aid foreigners to engage in activities in Taiwan that are inconsistent with the reasons of their permitted visit or residence shall be ____ to a fine of NT1 million.
核心觀念
本題考固定搭配 be subject to + 名詞,表示「受……約束、須承受……」。句中 Those who facilitate or aid ... 是主詞,後面的 to a fine 說明違規者須承受的處罰,因此空格應填 subject。
題目內容涉及移民法規的罰鍰規定,以下以命題當年(民國 113 年)法規為準。
解題方法
先辨認句型:
shall be ____ to a fine 應受……罰鍰處分
英文表示「應受某種處罰」,常用 be subject to a fine。因此可直接依搭配判斷,不必逐字翻譯整句。
句意是:協助或幫助外國人在臺從事與其許可停留或居留原因不符活動者,處新臺幣 20 萬元以上、100 萬元以下罰鍰。
選項分析
第 3 題1 分
Before arriving in Taiwan, please ____ an online immigration arrival card on the website of the National Immigration Agency.
核心觀念
本題考英文動詞搭配與字義辨析。句意是:「抵達臺灣前,請在內政部移民署網站上__線上入國登記表。」空格需要填入「填寫、完成」表格的動詞。
解題方法
先看受詞 an online immigration arrival card(線上入國登記表)。英文常用 complete a form/card 表示「填妥、完成表格」,因此空格應填 complete。
句首的 Before arriving in Taiwan 表示「抵達臺灣之前」;please 後接原形動詞,四個選項皆為原形,須再依語意與搭配判斷。
選項分析
第 4 題1 分
The maximum duration of prohibition from entering Taiwan for foreigners who overstay beyond the ____ period of visit or residence in Taiwan has been revised from 3 years to 7 years.
核心觀念
本題考英文單字的語意與搭配。句意是:「對於逾越在臺停留或居留的__期間的外國人,禁止入境最長期間已由 3 年修正為 7 年。」空格須填表示「經許可、核准」的形容詞,修飾 period of visit or residence。
解題方法
先抓句子的關鍵搭配:外國人須遵守主管機關核准的停留或居留期間;逾期即屬超過「核准期間」。英文常用 authorized period 表示「經授權或核准的期間」,因此空格填 authorized。
選項分析
- (A) improved:意為「改善的、改進的」,不表示停留或居留期間經核准,語意不合。
第 5 題1 分
For foreigners who have no certain domicile or residence in Taiwan, the National Immigration Agency of the Ministry of the Interior may order such foreigners to exit the State voluntarily within ten days prior to the forcible ____.
核心觀念
本題考英文單字與移民行政法規語境。題幹描述:對在臺灣沒有確定住所或居所的外國人,內政部移民署得命其在強制「____」前十日內自行離境。關鍵是辨別與強制離境相關的法律用語。
涉及法規時,以命題當年(民國 113 年)法規為準。題幹所述情形對應《入出國及移民法》關於外國人強制驅逐出國前,命其限期自行出國的規定;英文常用 deportation 表示「驅逐出境」。
解題方法
先讀題幹的語意搭配:forcible ____ 指「強制的驅逐出境」。接著檢視選項,找出能表示將外國人依法強制送離國境的名詞。此處應填 deportation,整句意為「在強制驅逐出境前十日內,自行離境」。
選項分析
第 6 題1 分
Nationals without household registration who hold a valid R.O.C. (Taiwan) biometric passport and possess a return ticket are ____ from applying for an entry permit.
核心觀念
本題考查形容詞 exempt 的用法與固定搭配。be exempt from + 名詞/動名詞 表示「免於……、獲豁免不必……」。
句意是:未在臺灣設有戶籍的國民,持有效的中華民國(臺灣)晶片護照並持有回程機票者,免於申請入境許可。
解題方法
先看空格後的 from applying for。表示「免於做某事」的固定搭配是 be exempt from + V-ing,因此空格應填 exempt。
句型結構如下:
Nationals ... are exempt from applying for an entry permit. ……者免於申請入境許可。
選項分析
第 7 題1 分
Law enforcement agencies have ____ 11 people who ran a food fraud operation that produced more than 68,000 gallons of olive oil unfit for consumption.
核心觀念
本題考「執法機關逮捕犯罪嫌疑人」的動詞搭配,以及四個選項的字義辨析。句意為:執法機關已逮捕 11 名人士;這些人經營食品詐欺,生產了超過 68,000 加侖不適合食用的橄欖油。
解題方法
先看空格後的受詞 11 people,再依句意判斷執法機關對這些人採取的行動。文中提到食品詐欺及不適合食用的橄欖油,合理的執法行動是「逮捕」,因此應選表示「逮捕」的 arrested。
選項分析
- (A) occupied:意為「佔據、占用」,如 occupy a building(佔據一棟建築物)。不表示逮捕人犯,與句意不合。
- (B) rested:意為「休息」,如 rest after work(下班後休息)。
第 8 題1 分
On February 14th, a Chinese fishing boat overturned while being chased by the Taiwanese coast guards, killing two Chinese fishermen on board. While ____ between Taiwan and China soared, disinformation about the incident also took off.
核心觀念
本題考查單字在上下文中的語意與常見搭配。句子描述中國漁船翻覆事件造成台灣與中國之間的關係緊張,並提及事件相關的錯誤訊息也開始擴散。空格後的 between Taiwan and China 提示,空格要填入能表示雙方關係狀態的名詞。
解題方法
先看句意:「台灣海巡追逐中國漁船期間,漁船翻覆,船上兩名中國漁民死亡。台灣與中國之間的__升高,與此同時,事件相關的錯誤訊息也迅速傳播。」
英文常用 tension between A and B 表示「A 與 B 之間的緊張情勢」;情勢升高則可說 tensions soared。因此,空格應填 tension。
選項分析
- (A) peace 和平:錯誤。 peace between Taiwan and China 指台灣與中國之間的和平,與事件造成緊張升高的語境相反。
- **(B) tension 緊張、緊張情勢:正確。
第 9 題1 分
For any applicant who is unable to pay the fee, he/she may request a fee ____ by submitting his/her case for further consideration.
核心觀念
本題考固定搭配 fee waiver,意為「費用豁免」或「免繳費用」。句中指出申請人無力支付費用,得提出個案供進一步審查,因此要填入表示「免除費用」的名詞。
解題方法
先看前文 unable to pay the fee(無法支付費用),再看後文 by submitting his/her case for further consideration(提交個案以供進一步審查)。整句語意是:無力繳費的申請人,可以提出申請,請求免除該費用。英文常用搭配為 request a fee waiver。
選項分析
第 10 題1 分
Remember to ____ your address with this office to ensure that you can receive all correspondence and notifications from us in a timely manner.
核心觀念
本題考「動詞與受詞的搭配」及語境判讀。句意是:「請記得向本辦公室__您的地址,以確保您能及時收到我們寄發的所有信件與通知。」空格後的 your address 是「您的地址」,後半句說明更新地址的目的,因此需要表示「更新、變更資料」的動詞。
解題方法
先依句意判斷:為了能及時收到信件與通知,地址必須是最新資料。因此空格應填 update,形成常見搭配 update your address with this office,意為「向本辦公室更新您的地址」。
選項分析
- (A) fill:意為「填寫、填滿」。常見說法是 fill in a form(填寫表格),不說 fill your address with this office;文法搭配與句意皆不合。
- (B) retrieve:意為「取回、檢索」。

Before children can read, the process of comprehending text begins when someone reads a picture book to them. Young children listen to the words, see the pictures in the book, and may start to ____ the words on the page with the words they are hearing and the ideas these words represent. In order to learn comprehension ____, students need modeling, practice, and feedback. For example, when students preview a text, they tap into what they already know and that knowledge will help them understand the text they are about to read. In other words, their ____ knowledge provides a framework for any new information they read. Moreover, when students make predictions about the text they are about to read, this exercise sets up ____ based on their prior knowledge about similar topics. As they read, students may mentally revise their prediction as they gain more information. In addition, identifying the main ideas and making a summary requires students to ____ what points are important and put those points in their own words. Furthermore, asking and answering questions about a text is another strategy that helps students focus on the meaning of the text. Teachers can help by modeling both the process of asking good questions and strategies for finding the answers in the text.
- Young children may start to ____ the words on the page with the words they are hearing and the ideas these words represent.
核心觀念
本題考搭配詞與上下文理解。句中描述幼童聽到大人朗讀、看著圖畫書,並開始把頁面上的文字和聽到的詞語及其代表的概念連結起來。空格需要填入表示「把……與……聯繫、連結」的動詞。
解題方法
句型為 associate A with B,意思是「將 A 與 B 聯想或連結起來」。本句的 A 是 the words on the page,B 是 the words they are hearing and the ideas these words represent,語意與文法都吻合。
選項分析
- (A) associate:正確。 associate A with B 表示「將 A 與 B 聯繫起來」,符合幼童開始把書頁上的文字和聽到的詞語及其意義相連結。

- In order to learn comprehension ____, students need modeling, practice, and feedback.
核心觀念
本題考英文閱讀理解策略的用字。空格位於 comprehension(理解)之後,須選出能與它搭配、且符合文章主旨的名詞。文章提到教師示範、學生練習與回饋,也列舉預習、預測、摘要、提問等方法,這些都是閱讀理解的「策略」。
解題方法
先看句意:學生要學會某種理解文本的方法,需要教師示範、自己練習,並獲得回饋。再利用後文列舉的預習、預測、摘要及提問等例子,確認空格指的是可供學習與運用的閱讀策略。
因此,comprehension strategies 即「理解策略」,符合上下文。

- Their ____ knowledge provides a framework for any new information they read.
核心觀念
本題考英文詞彙,並須依上下文判斷形容詞 acquired 的語意。句子意為:「他們的 ____ 知識為所閱讀的新資訊提供架構。」前文提到學生運用已知內容理解即將閱讀的文章,因此空格應表示「先前獲得的、已習得的」。
解題方法
看前後文的語意線索:學生「運用已經知道的內容」(what they already know),這些知識能幫助他們理解新資訊,並為新資訊提供認知架構。因此應選擇表示「習得、獲得」的形容詞。
選項分析
- (A) perished:perished 是 perish 的過去分詞,意為「死亡的、毀滅的」,與知識提供理解架構的語意不合。

核心觀念
本題考查依上下文判斷單字意思,以及常見搭配詞。句子描述學生閱讀前先根據既有知識,對接下來的文本內容形成預測;因此空格應填「預期、期待」,即 expectations。
解題方法
關鍵在於句中的 make predictions(作出預測)與 based on their prior knowledge(根據先備知識)。預測會使讀者對文本接下來的內容形成某種預期,因此搭配 set up expectations,意為「建立預期」。

The United States has more immigrants than any other country in the world. Today, more than 40 million people living in the US were born in another country, accounting for about one-fifth of the world’s migrants. Also, the population of immigrants is very diverse, with just about every country in the world represented among US immigrants. Pew Research Center regularly publishes statistical portraits of the nation’s foreign-born population, which include historical trends since 1960. These portraits provide more details on the US immigrant population.
The US foreign-born population reached a record 44.8 million in 2018. Since 1965, when US immigration laws replaced a national quota system, the number of immigrants living in the US has more than quadrupled. Immigrants today account for 13.7% of the US population, nearly triple the share (4.8%) in 1970. However, today’s immigrant share remains below the record 14.8% share in 1890 when 9.2 million immigrants lived in the US.
Most immigrants (77%) are in the country legally, while almost a quarter are unauthorized, according to new Pew Research Center estimates based on census data adjusted for undercount. In 2017, 45% were naturalized US citizens, 27% of immigrants were permanent residents, and 5% were temporary residents in 2017. Another 23% of all immigrants were unauthorized immigrants. From 1990 to 2007, the unauthorized immigrant population was more than tripled in size – from 3.5 million to a record high of 12.2 million in 2007. By 2017, that number had declined by 1.7 million, or 14%. There were 10.5 million unauthorized immigrants in the US in 2017, accounting for 3.2% of the nation’s population. The decline in the unauthorized immigrant population is due largely to a fall in the number from Mexico – the single largest group of unauthorized immigrants in the US.
- What is the best title for this passage?
核心觀念
本題考英文閱讀中的「主旨與標題判斷」。標題應概括全文主要內容,而不是只取其中一段或一項細節。本文整理美國移民人口的統計概況,包括人口規模、歷史變化、占總人口比例,以及移民的法律身分與未經許可移民人口變化。
解題方法
先看文章各段共同聚焦的對象與內容:
- 第一段介紹美國移民人口的規模與來源多元,並說明 Pew Research Center 提供相關統計。
- 第二段呈現外國出生人口的歷史與現況數據,例如 2018 年達 4,480 萬人、占美國人口 13.7%。
- 第三段說明移民的法律身分比例,以及未經許可移民人口的增減。
因此,全文是在彙整「美國移民的重要統計發現」,不是只談移民背景、移民原因或移民權利義務。
選項分析
(A) Diverse Backgrounds of Immigrants. 意為「移民多元的背景」。

核心觀念
本題考查英文閱讀理解,重點是找出與文章內容不符的敘述。比對選項時,須留意比例的分母,以及數字描述是否忠實對應原文。
解題方法
文章明確指出,未經授權移民占全體移民的 23%。將此比例與「超過三分之一」比較:三分之一約為 33.3%,而 23% 未達三分之一。因此,選項 (C) 與文章不符,為題目所求。

In 2017, 45% were naturalized US citizens, 27% of immigrants were permanent residents, and 5% were temporary residents in 2017. Another 23% of all immigrants were unauthorized immigrants. From 1990 to 2007, the unauthorized immigrant population was more than tripled in size – from 3.5 million to a record high of 12.2 million in 2007. By 2017, that number had declined by 1.7 million, or 14%. There were 10.5 million unauthorized immigrants in the US in 2017, accounting for 3.2% of the nation’s population. The decline in the unauthorized immigrant population is due largely to a fall in the number from Mexico – the single largest group of unauthorized immigrants in the US.
- What is the focus of the final paragraph?
核心觀念
本題考查英文閱讀中的「段落主旨判斷」。解題重點是概括段落反覆說明的核心內容,而非挑選其中一項數據或例子。
解題方法
先看最後一段的首句,段落主題是移民在美國的法律身分比例:多數移民合法居留,另有近四分之一未經授權。後續內容進一步列出歸化公民、永久居民、臨時居民與未經授權移民的比例,並說明未經授權移民人數的變化。因此,全段焦點是移民的法律身分。
選項分析
-
(A) The legal status of immigrants in the US. 正確。段落列出移民的不同法律身分及其比例,並介紹未經授權移民人口的數量變化,最能涵蓋全段內容。
-
(B) The establishment of Pew Research Center. 錯誤。

【題組共用題幹】
The United States has more immigrants than any other country in the world. Today, more than 40 million people living in the US were born in another country, accounting for about one-fifth of the world’s migrants. Also, the population of immigrants is very diverse, with just about every country in the world represented among US immigrants. Pew Research Center regularly publishes statistical portraits of the nation’s foreign-born population, which include historical trends since 1960. These portraits provide more details on the US immigrant population.
The US foreign-born population reached a record 44.8 million in 2018. Since 1965, when US immigration laws replaced a national quota system, the number of immigrants living in the US has more than quadrupled. Immigrants today account for 13.7% of the US population, nearly triple the share (4.8%) in 1970. However, today’s immigrant share remains below the record 14.8% share in 1890 when 9.2 million immigrants lived in the US.

- According to the passage, what is the main contributor to the decline in the unauthorized immigrant population in 2017?
核心觀念
本題測驗閱讀理解,重點是從文章中找出「未經授權移民人口下降的主要原因」。作答時須辨認題幹對原因的直接說明,避免把人口變化的背景數據誤當成原因。
解題方法
第三段先指出,未經授權移民人口從 2007 年高峰的 1,220 萬人,降至 2017 年的 1,050 萬人,減少 170 萬人、約 14%。接著明確說明,人口下降「主要是因為來自墨西哥的人數減少」;墨西哥裔是美國最大的未經授權移民群體。因此,應選擇指出墨西哥移民減少的選項。
選項分析
- (A) The implementation of new immigration laws in the US. 錯誤。文章提到 1965 年移民法取代國家配額制度,是美國移民人口長期增加的背景,並未說這是 2017 年未經授權移民人口下降的主因。
