第 一 題20 分
請將下方韓文短文翻譯成中文:
최근 미국이 아시아 국가들에 무역적자 축소를 위해 자국 통화 절상을 요구할 것이라는 시장의 예상이 확산되면서, 아시아 외환시장이 크게 출렁이고 있으며 원화 또한 뚜렷한 불안정한 흐름을 보이고 있습니다. 한국 정부가 미국과 환율 협상에 착수하자, 시장에서는 원화 가치 상승에 대한 우려가 점차 커지고 있습니다. 일부 전문가들은 미국이 1985년 '플라자 합의'와 유사한 방식으로 무역 흑자국에 환율 조정을 압박할 가능성을 제기하고 있습니다. 이에 따라 외환시장 안정을 위해 한국 정부는 24시간 모니터링 체계를 가동하고, 정기적인 회의를 통해 시장 동향을 면밀히 분석하며 불확실성을 줄이고 경제 안정을 도모하고 있습니다.

核心觀念
本題測驗韓文新聞短文的中韓翻譯能力,重點在掌握經濟與外匯市場用語,以及辨識長句中的因果、時間與目的關係。文中沒有法條或公式;翻譯應忠實保留原文訊息,並使用自然、準確的繁體中文。
解題方法
先依語意將短文分成四個部分:市場預期與亞洲匯市反應、韓國政府與美國展開匯率協商後的市場憂慮、專家對「廣場協議」的看法,以及韓國政府穩定外匯市場的措施。翻譯時保留各句的因果與並列關係,並將韓文慣用表達轉成中文常見說法。
參考譯文
近期,市場上預期美國將要求亞洲各國為了縮減貿易逆差而讓本國貨幣升值的看法逐漸擴散,亞洲外匯市場因此大幅震盪,韓元也呈現明顯的不穩定走勢。韓國政府開始與美國進行匯率協商後,市場對韓元升值的憂慮逐漸升高。部分專家指出,美國可能採取類似 1985 年「廣場協議」的方式,向貿易順差國施壓,要求調整匯率。為了穩定外匯市場,韓國政府因此啟動 24 小時監控機制,透過定期會議仔細分析市場動向,並致力於降低不確定性、維持經濟穩定。

第 二 題30 分
請將下方中文短文翻譯成韓文:
(一) 隨著疫情的結束,韓國大型超市成為外國觀光客必訪的景點。特別是 L 超市首爾站店因鄰近機場捷運,成為旅客離境前最後的購物站。L 超市設立專區販售 K-零食、咖啡與堅果等熱門商品,並提供行李寄存、國際配送等服務。外國人消費額逐年攀升,顯示其受到高度的關注。
(二) 面對少子化與高齡化的嚴峻挑戰,韓國政府近日召開人口對策會議,規劃未來五年的應對方案。2023 年,韓國總生育率僅為 0.75 人,創下全球新低,且預計到 2040 年,80 歲以上人口將倍增至 515 萬人。為因應人口結構的快速變化,政府將結合 AI 等新興科技,強化托育與教育支援、擴大育嬰假與彈性工時,並提升退休保障與多元文化政策,致力於打造更永續性的社會結構。

核心觀念
本題是中文短文翻譯成韓文,重點在於把握句意、資訊層次與正式書面語體,再將中文常見的修飾與並列關係轉成自然的韓文句型。兩段短文分別描述外國觀光客在韓國大型超市消費,以及韓國政府因應人口結構變化的政策。
解題方法
翻譯時先按語意切分句子,再確認主語、時間、原因、目的與列舉內容。韓文新聞及政策文字常使用「~에 따라」(隨著)、「~로 인해」(因為)、「~을 위해」(為了)等連接形式;描述政策措施時,宜使用正式的「~할 계획이다」「~을 추진하다」等表達。
數字及專有名詞應保留原意:「總生育率 0.75 人」在韓文可表達為「합계출산율은 0.75명」,「80 歲以上人口」則譯為「80세 이상 인구」。地名與店名可保留英文字母 L,並以「L마트 서울역점」表達「L 超市首爾站店」。
參考譯文
(一)
코로나19의 종식과 함께 한국의 대형마트는 외국인 관광객들이 꼭 방문하는 명소가 되었다. 특히 공항철도와 가까운 L마트 서울역점은 여행객들이 출국 전에 마지막으로 쇼핑하는 곳으로 자리 잡았다. L마트는 K-간식, 커피, 견과류 등 인기 상품을 판매하는 전용 매장을 마련하고, 수하물 보관과 국제 배송 등의 서비스도 제공하고 있다. 외국인 소비액이 해마다 증가하고 있어 이들이 한국 대형마트에 높은 관심을 보이고 있음을 알 수 있다.

解題方法

第 1 題1 分
In Pakistan, an airplane was briefly ____ when a passenger was suspected of being infected with H5N1.
核心觀念
本題考「隔離、檢疫」相關字彙。句意是:在巴基斯坦,一名乘客被懷疑感染 H5N1,於是飛機短暫地被__。描述為防止疾病傳播而暫時限制移動,應使用 quarantine,意為「隔離、檢疫」。
解題方法
先看句子的因果關係:乘客疑似感染傳染病,因此飛機被採取暫時的防疫措施。四個選項中,只有 quarantined 能表達「被隔離、接受檢疫」;搭配 was briefly,過去式被動語態表示「曾短暫遭到隔離」。
選項分析
第 2 題1 分
When Mr. and Mrs. Smith stayed at a hotel, they took ____ rooms for themselves and their two children.
核心觀念
本題考查住宿情境中的形容詞搭配。adjacent 表示「相鄰的、毗鄰的」,可用來描述彼此相鄰的房間。題幹提到史密斯夫婦帶著兩名孩子入住飯店,語意上需要為家人安排相鄰的房間。
解題方法
先看空格後的名詞 rooms,再判斷哪個選項既能修飾「房間」,也符合家人入住飯店的情境。adjacent rooms 是自然搭配,指「相鄰的房間」。
選項分析
- (A) adjacent:正確。 意為「相鄰的」,
adjacent rooms即「相鄰的房間」,符合一家人入住時方便彼此照應的情境。 - **(B) glutinous:錯誤。
第 3 題1 分
This is the first study to show how ____ to air pollution influences cognitive function in a national sample of older men and women.
核心觀念
本題考英文名詞與介系詞 to 的搭配。句中「____ to air pollution」描述人接觸空氣污染的情形;常用搭配是 exposure to,意為「暴露於、接觸到」。
解題方法
先看空格後的 to air pollution,判斷哪個名詞能自然表示「接觸某種污染」。句意為:「這是第一項研究,顯示在全國老年男女樣本中,____ 空氣污染如何影響認知功能。」填入 exposure 後,句意通順且符合研究主題。
選項分析
第 4 題1 分
If a foreign banker knowingly assisted a taxpayer in concealing a foreign account or evading taxes, the banker can be charged with conspiracy to ____ the Ministry of Finance.
核心觀念
本題考英文搭配詞與句意判讀。conspiracy to defraud 是常見法律用語,意為「共謀詐欺」或「串謀欺騙」。句中指出外國銀行家明知而協助納稅人隱匿海外帳戶或逃漏稅,因此所描述的是銀行家與納稅人共同欺騙財政部。
解題方法
先看空格前的 conspiracy to:to 後方應接動詞原形。再依句意判斷,銀行家協助隱匿帳戶、逃漏稅,目的在欺騙財政部,因此應填 defraud。選項 (B) fraud 是名詞,置於空格後會形成 to fraud,文法不合;此處官方答案所指的字義是「詐欺」,但若嚴格依原句文法,應寫成 conspiracy to defraud the Ministry of Finance。
選項分析
- (A) authorize:動詞,意為「授權、批准」。
conspiracy to authorize the Ministry of Finance是「共謀授權財政部」,與隱匿帳戶、逃漏稅的情境不符。
第 5 題1 分
The President did eventually sign a minor but lauded executive order that halted ____ of certain children of illegal immigrants.
核心觀念
本題考的是字彙辨義與上下文判讀。句意為:「總統最終確實簽署了一項影響不大、但受到讚揚的行政命令,停止某些非法移民子女的 ____。」關鍵是動詞 halted(停止)及受詞 children of illegal immigrants(非法移民的子女)。
解題方法
先判斷空格需要填入何種行為:行政命令停止對這些子女採取某項處置。四個選項中,deportation 意為「驅逐出境」,與移民行政及句子語意相符;「停止驅逐出境」也能構成完整、自然的句意。
選項分析
第 6 題1 分
National-security agencies invest hundreds of millions of dollars yearly in software to ____ hackers and cybercriminals from invading our profiles.
核心觀念
本題考查動詞的語意與固定搭配。句意是:國家安全機關每年投入數億美元購買軟體,以__駭客和網路犯罪者入侵我們的個人檔案。空格需要填入表示「阻止、嚇阻」的動詞,且能與介系詞 from 搭配。
解題方法
句型為 deter someone from doing something,意思是「阻止某人做某事、使某人不敢做某事」。空格後的 hackers and cybercriminals 是受到影響的人,from invading our profiles 則說明要阻止的行為,因此應選 deter。
選項分析
第 7 題1 分
We live at a time in which societies are becoming increasingly ____ and multicultural. And, globalization forces us to interact across national, cultural, religious and other boundaries.
核心觀念
本題考「描述社會組成與多元性」的字義判讀。空格後接 and multicultural(且具多元文化特色),因此前面的形容詞應與社會的多樣組成相呼應。heterogeneous 意為「異質的、多元組成的」,符合句意。
解題方法
句意是:「我們生活在一個社會日益__且多元文化的時代。全球化迫使我們跨越國家、文化、宗教等界線互動。」
先看語意搭配:社會變得多元文化,也表示其成員背景與組成愈來愈多樣。因此選擇表示「組成多樣、異質」的 heterogeneous。
選項分析
- (A) equivocal:意為「模稜兩可的、含糊的」,通常形容說法、態度或證據;不符合此處描述社會組成的語意。
第 8 題1 分
In the spring of 1889, Van Gogh entered an ____ at Saint-Rémy after suffering what he described as moods of indescribable anguish, following the episode in which he cut off his left ear.
核心觀念
本題考英文名詞的字義與上下文判讀。句中提到 Van Gogh 在割下左耳後,因「難以形容的痛苦情緒」而進入 Saint-Rémy 的某種機構;空格應填入表示精神療養或收容機構的名詞。
解題方法
先看動詞搭配:entered an ____ at Saint-Rémy,意為「進入聖雷米的一所……」。再根據前後文的精神狀態描述,判斷空格需要填入精神病院或療養院之類的場所。asylum 符合語意,也能與 an 搭配。
選項分析
第 9 題1 分
Today, it is not ____ for younger speakers in Taiwan to be equally fluent in Taiwanese and Mandarin.
核心觀念
本題考查否定字首 un- 加上形容詞後的語意,以及常見搭配 not uncommon。句意為:「如今,在臺灣,年輕人同時流利使用臺語和華語並不罕見。」
not uncommon 是雙重否定式的委婉表達,意思是「不罕見」,也就是「相當常見」。
解題方法
先看空格前的 not,再比較各選項帶入後是否符合句意與慣用語:
Today, it is not uncommon for younger speakers in Taiwan to be equally fluent in Taiwanese and Mandarin.
其中 uncommon 是「不常見的、罕見的」;not uncommon 表示「並不罕見」,與句子描述的現象相符。
選項分析
第 10 題1 分
Social media has significantly transformed our communication methods by ____ both virality and efficiency.
核心觀念
本題考字義與搭配詞。句意是:「社群媒體透過提升(某些特質),大幅改變了我們的溝通方式。」空格後的 both virality and efficiency 表示「傳播的快速擴散性與效率」,因此應選能與這兩項正面特質搭配的動詞。
解題方法
先看句意方向:社群媒體改變溝通方式,原因是它讓訊息更容易迅速傳播,也使溝通更有效率。選項中,enhance 有「提升、增進」之意,搭配 virality 和 efficiency 語意自然。
句型結構為 by + 動名詞,表示「藉由……」;因此空格須填入動詞的 -ing 形式。四個選項皆符合形式,應以語意及搭配詞判斷。
選項分析
- (A) endangering:endanger 是「危及、使遭受危險」。endangering both virality and efficiency 意為「危及傳播性與效率」,與句中社群媒體改善溝通方式的正向脈絡不合。

【題組共用題幹】
Earthquakes are caused by the movement of 50-mile-thick plates that comprise the earth’s crust. More than two thousand earthquakes occur daily somewhere on our planet, but about 95 percent of them are too weak to be felt ____ sensitive seismometers. ____ are felt by humans, most cause relatively little damage, particularly if they occur in sparsely ____ areas.
Scientists have observed that certain phenomena seem to occur before an earthquake as the pressure within the plates intensifies. Myriads of tiny cracks appear in the rock, causing it to expand and uplift the ground above it. The pressure squeezes water out of the rock, thereby ____ nearby water levels. Also the rock becomes more resistant to electric current, and radon gas is released. Scientists hope that these ____ phenomena will provide keys to predict when and where an earthquake will occur, thereby enabling them to warn people to evacuate the area. While the earthquake itself cannot be prevented, at least lives may be saved.
核心觀念
本題考「except」表示排除、除……之外的用法,以及介系詞片語在句中的功能。
解題方法
空格所在句為:「about 95 percent of them are too weak to be felt ____ sensitive seismometers.」意思是「其中約 95% 的地震太微弱,連靈敏的地震儀也感受不到」。
「too weak to be felt」已表達「微弱到無法被感受到」;後面的 except by sensitive seismometers 表示「除了藉由靈敏的地震儀之外」,補充指出這些地震仍可被何種方式偵測。by 表示執行感受、偵測這個動作的工具或媒介。
選項分析
- (A) accepting by:accepting 是「接受」,與地震儀感受或偵測地震的意思不合,文法與語意都不通。

While the earthquake itself cannot be prevented, at least lives may be saved.
核心觀念
本題考「代名詞與關係代名詞的搭配」。句子中的 those 指前句的 earthquakes;後面的 that 引導關係子句 that are felt by humans,限定「其中會被人類感受到的地震」。
解題方法
空格所在句為:
____ are felt by humans, most cause relatively little damage.
補入 Of those that 後,句意為:「在那些會被人類感受到的地震當中,大多數造成的損害相對較小。」
句子結構是 Of those that are felt by humans 作為介系詞片語,表示範圍;most 是主詞,cause 是動詞。前文提到每天發生的地震中,約有 95% 弱到連靈敏的地震儀都測不到;此處接著談「人類能感受到的地震」,語意與文法都完整。
選項分析
- (A) Of those:缺少關係代名詞及後續子句,無法銜接 are felt by humans。若寫成 Of those, most are felt by humans,語序與原句不同。

While the earthquake itself cannot be prevented, at least lives may be saved.
核心觀念
本題考形容詞子句省略後的分詞用法,以及過去分詞表被動的概念。空格位於 in sparsely ____ areas,修飾名詞 areas;句意是「在人口稀少的地區」。
解題方法
先確認空格後的中心名詞是 areas,再判斷它與「居住」的關係:人居住在某地,因此地區是「有人居住的」,須用表示被動或狀態的過去分詞 inhabited。sparsely 是副詞,修飾 inhabited,合起來表示「人口稀少的、稀疏有人居住的」。
還原成完整關係子句為 areas that are sparsely inhabited,省略關係代名詞與 be 動詞後,即為 sparsely inhabited areas。

核心觀念
本題考分詞片語與動詞形式。空格前有 thereby(因此、藉此),後接表示結果的片語 ____ nearby water levels。句子的主詞是前面的整個動作 The pressure squeezes water out of the rock;空格須使用現在分詞,表示這個動作所造成的結果。
解題方法
句意是:「壓力將水從岩石中擠出,因而使附近水位上升。」
thereby 後常接動名詞或現在分詞,表示「藉由……、因而……」。此處分詞片語 raising nearby water levels 描述前述擠水動作帶來的結果,相當於 and thereby raises nearby water levels。依官方答案,選 (B) raising。
選項分析
- (A) rises:意為「上升」,是不及物動詞,不能直接接受詞 nearby water levels;

【題組共用題幹】
There are basically two types of stress placed on human beings. One type involves physical activity and its demands; the other type is the result of mental and emotional demands. Whether physical or emotional in origin, stress causes the body to react in similar ways. In the first stage, your body prepares to meet the stress. The heartbeat and respiration rates increase, and the pupils of the eyes dilate; the blood sugar level increases, and the perspiration rate speeds up, while digestion slows down as blood and muscular activity is diverted elsewhere. In the second stage, your body returns to normal and repairs any damage caused by the stressful situation. However, if stress continues, the body cannot repair itself, and the final stage, exhaustion, then begins. If this stage continues, physical and emotional damage will occur. These stages of stress reaction are generally the same, whether the stress is caused by a cross-country run, a first date, buying a house, or narrowly missing an automobile accident.
Stress from physical activity, if not carried too far, is actually beneficial. Probably most harmful of all stresses is guilt. This common emotion is useful to have when it helps us realize that we have, in fact, committed some error, violated our own rules or social norms. If we did not feel guilt, we would never do anything except the things that brought us immediate pleasure—we’d never obey the law, work, or even study in school, unless we wanted to do so in the first place. As a person’s conscience develops, guilt feelings become inevitable; guilt is the sorrow we experience when we know we have done something incorrect.
Many of us as children learned rules that we no longer need. For instance, a successful business person needs not feel guilty about spending a little too much money on a vacation, or should she/he feel guilty that she/he can combine a business trip with some swimming and golf at an ocean resort. But many people do feel guilty over such apparently innocent actions. Excessive guilt can make life not worth living; guilt can cause self-hatred as well as other fears and anxieties that cause all life’s successes to be bittersweet, at best.
Guilt and the worry that often accompanies this major stress are difficult to eradicate, but people subject to excessive guilt feelings should realize, as simple as it sounds, that no one is perfect. People cannot always be cheerful and helpful to everyone they meet. Another good lesson is that mistakes should be forgotten, not lingered over and brought out to examine periodically.
A life without stress would be boring. Just as we need a little guilt to keep us correct, and a little worry to make us plan ahead, we need a little stress to stay interested in life. But, when stress begins to bother you, change your routine. Take your mind off your worries with some activities, whether tennis, yoga, gardening, or meditation. Or talk your worries over with someone else; you may discover a solution you had overlooked before.
- What is the best title for the passage?
核心觀念
本題考查英文閱讀中的主旨與標題判斷。標題應涵蓋全文主要內容,而不是只概括某一段或某一個例子。
文章先說明壓力的來源與身體反應,再介紹適度壓力及罪惡感的作用與負面影響,最後提出應對壓力的方法。因此,合適的標題須同時涵蓋壓力的成因、反應與管理。
解題方法
快速整理各段功能:
- 第一段:壓力的類型、身體反應,以及壓力持續時的影響。
- 第二至四段:罪惡感這種心理壓力的作用、過度罪惡感的傷害,以及調整觀念的方法。
- 第五段:適度壓力的必要性,以及透過活動或與人談話來管理壓力。
全文並非只談如何逃離壓力,也不只討論生理或心理壓力其中一類;它從壓力的原因與表現談到因應方式,故選 (B)。
選項分析
(A) Key findings about stress(關於壓力的關鍵發現) 範圍過於籠統。「關鍵發現」沒有指出文章的具體重點,無法像 (B) 一樣涵蓋壓力的成因、症狀與管理。

- According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
核心觀念
本題考查閱讀理解,需從文章中比對各選項陳述是否與原文相符。題目問哪一項「不正確」(NOT true)。
解題方法
先抓文章明確陳述,再逐項核對:
- 第一段指出,壓力反應時呼吸速率會增加。
- 第二段說明,適度的罪惡感有助於人察覺錯誤、遵守規範。
- 第三段指出,有些人會因看似無害的行為而感到罪惡。
- 第四段表示,罪惡感常伴隨憂慮。
因此,與文章意思相反的選項就是答案。
選項分析
- (A) Worry often accompanies guilt. 正確。第四段提到「the worry that often accompanies this major stress」,指出憂慮常伴隨罪惡感。

For instance, a successful business person needs not feel guilty about spending a little too much money on a vacation, or should she/he feel guilty that she/he can combine a business trip with some swimming and golf at an ocean resort. But many people do feel guilty over such apparently innocent actions. Excessive guilt can make life not worth living; guilt can cause self-hatred as well as other fears and anxieties that cause all life’s successes to be bittersweet, at best.
Guilt and the worry that often accompanies this major stress are difficult to eradicate, but people subject to excessive guilt feelings should realize, as simple as it sounds, that no one is perfect. People cannot always be cheerful and helpful to everyone they meet. Another good lesson is that mistakes should be forgotten, not lingered over and brought out to examine periodically.
A life without stress would be boring. Just as we need a little guilt to keep us correct, and a little worry to make us plan ahead, we need a little stress to stay interested in life. But, when stress begins to bother you, change your routine. Take your mind off your worries with some activities, whether tennis, yoga, gardening, or meditation. Or talk your worries over with someone else; you may discover a solution you had overlooked before.
- We can conclude from this passage that ____.
核心觀念
本題考閱讀理解與推論,重點是抓出文章對「壓力」與「罪惡感」的主旨,並分辨選項是否把文意說得過度、顛倒或無據。文章指出,適度壓力有助於維持生活興趣;罪惡感能提醒人察覺錯誤,但過度罪惡感會造成傷害。
解題方法
先找能由文章直接支持的敘述,再排除與原文相反或加入文章未提資訊的選項。第三段提到,人們常因童年學到、如今已不必遵守的規則,對度假花費或出差兼度假等無害行為感到罪惡。這表示罪惡感有時來自個人內在對規則的要求,而非行為本身必然有錯,因此可推論罪惡感常是自我引發的。
選項分析
- (A) a stress-free life would be ideal:錯。文章明確說「沒有壓力的生活會很無聊」,並指出適度壓力能讓人對生活保持興趣。

There are basically two types of stress placed on human beings. One type involves physical activity and its demands; the other type is the result of mental and emotional demands. Whether physical or emotional in origin, stress causes the body to react in similar ways. In the first stage, your body prepares to meet the stress. The heartbeat and respiration rates increase, and the pupils of the eyes dilate; the blood sugar level increases, and the perspiration rate speeds up, while digestion slows down as blood and muscular activity is diverted elsewhere. In the second stage, your body returns to normal and repairs any damage caused by the stressful situation. However, if stress continues, the body cannot repair itself, and the final stage, exhaustion, then begins. If this stage continues, physical and emotional damage will occur. These stages of stress reaction are generally the same, whether the stress is caused by a cross-country run, a first date, buying a house, or narrowly missing an automobile accident.
Stress from physical activity, if not carried too far, is actually beneficial. Probably most harmful of all stresses is guilt. This common emotion is useful to have when it helps us realize that we have, in fact, committed some error, violated our own rules or social norms. If we did not feel guilt, we would never do anything except the things that brought us immediate pleasure—we’d never obey the law, work, or even study in school, unless we wanted to do so in the first place. As a person’s conscience develops, guilt feelings become inevitable; guilt is the sorrow we experience when we know we have done something incorrect.

- The passage suggests that ____.
核心觀念
本題考查文章主旨與細節統整。作者指出,身體活動與心理、情緒要求都會造成壓力;壓力反應的生理階段大致相同。適度的壓力能讓人保持興趣、促使人規劃,也有助於遵守規範;壓力過度或持續太久,則會造成身心傷害。
解題方法
先抓文章對「適度」與「過度」壓力的對比:作者肯定適量壓力的功能,同時提醒長期或過量壓力有害。再核對各選項是否符合這項整體主旨。文中第二段提到適度的身體活動壓力有益,最後一段更明確指出,少量的罪惡感、憂慮與壓力能幫助人保持正確、事先規劃並對生活保持興趣,因此選項 A 的概括最完整。
選項分析
- (A) physical and mental stress in normal amounts are advantageous to man:正確。文章指出適度壓力有助於維持生活興趣;適量罪惡感能提醒人遵守規範,適度憂慮能使人預先規劃。此處的 normal amounts 指適量,與過度、持續的壓力有所區別。
- (B) worry often causes physical stress:錯誤。

- According to the passage, the word “dilate” means ____.
核心觀念
本題考英文單字的語境判讀。文中描述壓力反應第一階段的生理變化,其中 the pupils of the eyes dilate 指「眼睛的瞳孔擴大」。
解題方法
利用上下文中的生理反應判斷:心跳和呼吸加快、血糖上升、出汗增加,消化減慢;其中 dilate 描述瞳孔的大小變化,意思是「擴大、放大」。
