第 一 題25 分
將下列文章翻譯成中文:
Trump afirma que Rusia trabajará “inmediatamente” para lograr un cese del fuego tras la llamada; Putin parece impasible
Para el presidente Donald Trump, la llamada telefónica del lunes con el presidente de Rusia Vladimir Putin representó un acontecimiento trascendental, destinado a confirmar la disposición de su homólogo a poner fin al conflicto en Ucrania.
Para Putin, pareció un evento mucho menos trascendental. A diferencia de Trump, quien mantuvo la conversación de dos horas desde la Oficina Oval y adelantó la llamada con mayúsculas en redes sociales, Putin no tenía libre su agenda. Llamó desde una escuela para niños superdotados en el balneario de Sochi, en el mar Negro, y le hizo un hueco a Trump durante un recorrido por las instalaciones.
Después, quedó claro que cada uno consideró la llamada con diferentes niveles de importancia. Mientras Trump proclamó en una publicación optimista en redes sociales que la llamada “salió muy bien” y que Rusia y Ucrania habían acordado “iniciar negociaciones inmediatas para un cese del fuego”, Putin dejó claro en sus propios comentarios que no cedía en sus exigencias maximalistas de poner fin a la violencia.

美中互降關稅,美媒:短期貨運激增秋季物價恐上漲
(中央社記者蕭金山 12 日專電)美中會談後互降關稅,美國財經媒體 CNBC 分析,預期接下來 4 至 6 週,從中國到美國的貨運量將激增,進口商搶著大量備貨之下,將面臨更高運費成本,消費者未來仍將面臨更高物價,有企業預期秋季出貨商品將調漲。
美中結束貿易談判,美國對中國商品關稅稅率從 145% 調降至 30%,除 10% 基準關稅外,先前因中國未積極處理芬太尼(Fentanyl)問題加徵的 20% 關稅並未取消。雙方同意 90 天內不再調高或新增關稅並展開談判,未來仍充滿不確定性。

En el futuro, los consumidores seguirán afrontando precios más altos, y algunas empresas prevén subir los precios de los productos que se envíen en otoño.
China y Estados Unidos concluyeron las negociaciones comerciales. Estados Unidos redujo del 145 % al 30 % el arancel aplicado a los productos chinos. Además del arancel básico del 10 %, se mantiene el arancel adicional del 20 % que se había impuesto anteriormente debido a que China no había abordado activamente el problema del fentanilo. Ambas partes acordaron no aumentar ni imponer nuevos aranceles durante 90 días y entablar negociaciones. La situación futura sigue rodeada de incertidumbre.

西班牙文參考答案(150 字)
La política migratoria del presidente Donald Trump se caracteriza por priorizar el control fronterizo y la seguridad nacional. Su gobierno ha reforzado la vigilancia, ampliado las deportaciones y limitado algunas vías de entrada y protección. Estas medidas buscan reducir la inmigración irregular. Sin embargo, una política eficaz no puede evaluarse únicamente por el número de detenciones. También debe respetar el debido proceso, la dignidad humana y el principio de no devolución de quienes necesitan protección internacional. Las

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」。

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。

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。

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。

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。

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。

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。

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。

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。

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.
- 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.
核心觀念
本題考介系詞片語與句意判讀。句中「too weak to be felt ____ sensitive seismometers」意為「太微弱,以致只有透過靈敏的地震儀才能測得」。空格需要表示「除……之外」的介系詞 except,後接 by sensitive seismometers,表示測量的工具或方式。
解題方法
先看句意:地震雖然每天大量發生,但約 95% 太微弱,人類感覺不到,只有靈敏的地震儀能偵測到。英文慣用結構是 too + 形容詞 + to be + 過去分詞,此處 to be felt 是被動語態;by sensitive seismometers 說明感知或偵測的媒介。空格填入 except,形成 except by sensitive seismometers,意思是「除非透過靈敏的地震儀」。

- ____ are felt by humans, most cause relatively little damage, particularly if they occur in sparsely ____ areas.
核心觀念
本題考察關係代名詞與介系詞片語的搭配。句中主詞是 ____ are felt by humans,空格後的 are felt 是複數被動語態;後半句 most cause relatively little damage 則補充說明這些被人感受到的地震大多造成的損害不大。
解題方法
前文提到每天發生的地震中,約 95% 弱到連靈敏的地震儀都測不到。接著要說的是:「在那些會被人類感受到的地震之中,大多數造成的損害相對很小。」因此空格須表達「那些會被人感受到的地震之中」。
選項分析
- (A) Of those:those 可代替前文提到的地震,但後面直接接 are felt by humans 時,缺少引導「哪些地震」的關係詞。依題目句意應是「那些會被人感受到的地震之中」,須有 that 引出關係子句。
- (B) Among them that:them 是受格代名詞,不能直接接 that 來構成修飾它的關係子句;

- Particularly if they occur in sparsely ____ areas.
核心觀念
本題考分詞作形容詞,以及形容詞修飾名詞的用法。句中片語為 in sparsely ____ areas,空格後方的 areas 是名詞;空格應填能修飾 areas 的形容詞。
解題方法
先看 sparsely:它是副詞,通常修飾形容詞或分詞。再看語意,地震若發生在「人口稀少的地區」,造成的損害通常較小。英文以過去分詞 inhabited 表示「有人居住的」,因此 sparsely inhabited areas 即「人口稀少的地區」。
句子的結構是:
particularly if they occur in [sparsely inhabited] areas 尤其是發生在人口稀少的地區時

- The pressure squeezes water out of the rock, thereby ____ nearby water levels.

本題考「分詞片語」的用法。句中 thereby 是副詞,意為「因此、藉此」;其後的 raising nearby water levels 是現在分詞片語,補充說明前句「水被擠出岩石」所造成的結果。此處 raising 相當於「從而提高」。
解題方法
先找出主要句子的動詞:The pressure squeezes water out of the rock(壓力把水從岩石中擠出)。逗號後的 thereby ____ nearby water levels 不是另一個完整子句,因為前面沒有連接詞,也沒有新的主詞;空格應填現在分詞,形成結果補充語:

- opposite:相反的
- oppositional:對立的、反對的
解題方法
文中列出地震前可能發生的多種現象:岩石出現裂縫、地面隆起、岩石中的水被擠出而使附近水位改變,以及岩石電阻增加、釋出氡氣。科學家希望這些現象能提供預測地震的線索。
這些現象都與地震前板塊壓力加劇有關,因此「彼此相關的現象」最符合上下文。填入 interrelated 後,句意為:「科學家希望這些相互關聯的現象能提供線索,用來預測地震何時、何地發生。」

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。

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。

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.
- 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。

- 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。

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」。
