英譯中：請將下面這段英文譯成正確、流暢的中文。
In contemporary society, the relentless pace of life and growing preoccupation with material aspirations and individual objectives have led many to overlook the essence of gratitude. The efforts and kindness of others are frequently taken as givens, with expressions of appreciation or reciprocation becoming increasingly scarce. This shift has strained bonds with family and friends, and even the profound sense of indebtedness owed to one's parents can sometimes be disregarded. Technology's convenience has further fostered detachment, often replacing deep, face-to-face interactions with more superficial exchanges. Consequently, a culture of indifference and self-centeredness has taken root, normalizing ungrateful behavior and inviting a deeper contemplation of these evolving social dynamics.

核心觀念
本題考查英譯中的語意掌握與中文表達，重點在於正確理解句子間的因果、轉折與遞進關係，並將抽象概念譯成自然流暢的繁體中文。段落主旨是：現代生活步調與個人追求，使人逐漸忽略感恩；科技便利又加深人際疏離，因而形成冷漠、自我中心的文化。
解題方法
先抓出全段的論述脈絡，再處理各句中的核心詞語與修飾關係：
- 生活背景與結果：
the relentless pace of life指生活步調緊湊、不停歇；preoccupation with material aspirations and individual objectives指過度專注於物質追求與個人目標。兩者共同導致人們忽略感恩的本質。 - 感恩行為的減少：
taken as givens是把他人的付出與善意視為理所當然；appreciation or reciprocation分別是表達感謝與回報。 - 人際關係受到影響：
strained bonds指關係變得緊張或疏遠；sense of indebtedness owed to one's parents指對父母的深厚虧欠感或感恩之情。 - 科技帶來的疏離：科技便利使人更疏遠，面對面深度互動被較表面的交流取代。
- 總結社會變化：
Consequently表示前述現象造成的結果；inviting a deeper contemplation是引出對社會變遷更深入的思考。
翻譯時以忠實呈現語意為主，不逐字硬譯。例如 indebtedness 在此不是財務上的「負債」，而是對父母付出懷有感念與虧欠之情。

中譯英：請將下面這段中文譯成正確、流暢的英文。
自駕載客服務在廣泛投入應用之前仍面臨多項尚待解決的挑戰。首先，安全性至關重要：自動駕駛系統必須能應對人類行為的不可預測性以及複雜的城市環境，而這些都難以準確建模。此外，技術問題，例如惡劣天氣對感測器精度的影響，也為穩定運行帶來挑戰。倫理與監管問題，如事故責任的歸屬和乘客的數據隱私，也需重視。再者，許多城市的基礎設施尚未準備好支持自動駕駛車隊。解決這些問題對於安全且有效地推廣無人自駕載客服務至關重要。

核心觀念
本題考中譯英，重點是掌握段落的邏輯層次，並以自然、正式的英文呈現科技議題。內容依序說明自駕載客服務面臨的安全、技術、倫理與監管、基礎設施挑戰，最後指出克服挑戰的重要性。
解題方法
先按語意切分長句，再選用清楚、正式的英文句型：
- 「在廣泛投入應用之前仍面臨多項尚待解決的挑戰」可譯為 still faces several unresolved challenges before it can be widely deployed。widely deployed 適合表達服務或技術「廣泛投入應用」。
- 「安全性至關重要」用 Safety is paramount，簡潔且符合正式文體。
- 「人類行為的不可預測性以及複雜的城市環境」可寫成 the unpredictability of human behavior and complex urban environments；「難以準確建模」則用 are difficult to model accurately。
- 「惡劣天氣對感測器精度的影響」可表達為 the effects of adverse weather on sensor accuracy。
- 「事故責任的歸屬和乘客的數據隱私」可用 the allocation of liability in the event of an accident and passengers’ data privacy。
- 結尾以 Addressing these issues is essential to... 承接前文，說明解決問題的必要性。
參考譯文
Autonomous ride-hailing services still face several unresolved challenges before they can be widely deployed. First, safety is paramount: autonomous driving systems must be able to cope with the unpredictability of human behavior and complex urban environments, both of which are difficult to model accurately. In addition, technical issues, such as the effects of adverse weather on sensor accuracy, pose challenges to reliable operation. Ethical and regulatory concerns, including the allocation of liability in the event of an accident and passengers’ data privacy, also require careful attention. Furthermore, the infrastructure in many cities is not yet ready to support fleets of autonomous vehicles. Ad

應用文撰寫：請根據下面的說明寫一封英文信。
我國吸食毒品人口逐年增加，再犯率也長期居高不下，更令人擔心的是，根據國家衛生研究院調查，學校本應該是最單純、最讓家長放心的環境，但事實上毒品問題早已深入校園，請針對此現象寫一封投書媒體的英文信，內含兩段，第一段說明處理此問題的迫切性，第二段提出你認為最有效率的解決之道。
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
核心觀念
本題是英文應用文寫作，要求寫一封投書媒體的英文信，全文分成兩段：第一段說明校園毒品問題為何亟待處理；第二段提出最有效率的解決方法。評分重點在於切合題意、段落任務明確、論述有因果關係，以及英文語法與用字恰當。題目未要求引用特定法條或統計數字，不必自行補充未提供的數據。
解題方法
先把題目資訊轉成「問題—影響—對策」的論述脈絡：
- 第一段：說明迫切性。 以吸毒人口增加、再犯率長期偏高為背景，指出毒品已進入校園，會威脅學生身心健康、學習與校園安全；若不及早介入，問題可能擴大。
- 第二段：提出有效對策。 聚焦一項能整合各方資源的做法，例如建立學校、家長、社工與專業戒癮機構合作的早期辨識與轉介機制，並搭配預防教育與後續輔導。說明其效率來自及早發現、專業處理，以及持續追蹤。
投書信可用簡潔的稱呼與開頭表明議題，結尾提出呼籲並署名。正文仍須維持題目指定的兩段：第一段談急迫性，第二段談解決方法。
參考範文
第一段：問題的迫切性
Dear Editor,
I am writing to express my concern about the growing drug problem in Taiwan, especially its spread into schools. The number of people using illegal drugs has continued to rise, while the high rate of repeat offenses shows that current efforts have not been effective enough. Schools should be safe places where students can learn and grow, yet drug use on campus puts their health, education, and safety at risk. If the problem is ignored, more young people may be exposed to drugs before they have the knowledge or support to protect themselves. For this reason, immediate and coordinated action is essential.
第二段：解決之道
The most efficient solution is to establish an early intervention system that connects schools with

英文作文：請根據下面說明寫一篇約 300 字的英文作文。
It has been argued that social media influencers play a dominant role in shaping youth culture. Do you agree or disagree? Write an essay of approximately 300 words to support your answer with examples.
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
核心觀念
本題考查英文議論文寫作：能否明確表達立場，提出充分理由，並以具體例子支持論點。題目中的 social media influencers 指透過社群平台累積受眾、並以內容或形象影響追隨者的網紅；youth culture 則包括年輕人的價值觀、流行趨勢、消費習慣與人際互動方式。
題目要求回答「網紅是否在形塑青年文化上扮演主導角色」，重點不是介紹社群媒體，而是判斷網紅的影響力是否足以稱為 dominant，並用例子說明。
解題方法
採取「表明立場—分述理由—提出限制—總結」的五段式架構。本文採取部分同意的立場：網紅確實影響青年文化中的時尚、消費和生活方式，但家庭、學校、同儕與個人判斷也共同形塑青年文化。因此，網紅的影響力很大，卻不是唯一力量。
約 300 字的文章可安排如下：
- 引言：說明網紅影響力增加，提出立場。
- 第一個理由：網紅帶動流行趨勢，舉服飾或流行用語為例。
- 第二個理由：網紅影響消費和生活習慣，舉產品推薦為例。
- 補充與限制：說明青年並非被動接受者，其他環境也會影響其價值觀。
- 結論：重申網紅影響深遠，但青年文化由多種力量共同形塑。

The Influence of Social Media Influencers on Youth Culture
Social media influencers have become a visible part of young people’s daily lives. Through short videos, livestreams, and posts, they can introduce new styles and ideas to millions of followers. I agree that influencers play a major role in shaping youth culture, although they are not its only influence.
First, influencers help determine what becomes popular. A creator who wears a particular style of clothing or uses a new phrase can inspire young followers to imitate it. For example, a fashion influencer’s video may make a certain brand of sneakers or a way of styling an outfit trend among students. Because social media spreads content quickly, these trends can travel across schools and even across countries.
Influencers also affect young people’s choices as consumers. Product reviews and sponsored posts can encourage followers to buy cosmetics, electronic devices, or snacks. Some cre
