There are several ways to do plank exercise, 　5　 what muscles you would like to train or how intense you would like it to be. To do the basic plank, simply start from a pushup position, and 　6　 bend your elbows and extend your legs. That would make your whole body, from the torso to the ankles, 　7　 a straight line.

Over the past decades, the AIDS virus has deeply troubled the world. Many biologists believe that the virus came from monkeys, infecting the first humans sometime during the first half of the 20th century. 　1　 However, a new study might provide the answer to this question.

英文五合一閱讀題組 100

Scientists in this study claim that the spread of the virus is likely to have started from a bloodsucking insect called the stable f ly. It scraped the skin of the victim and sucked up some blood. Then, it f lew to the next victim, where it spit out some of the blood. It is very likely that a stable f ly bit an infected monkey, then bit a human, infecting the human. 　2　 The stable f ly is unique among blood sucking insects because not many pose as high a risk of spreading viruses. 　3　 This way, no blood is exchanged from one bitten animal to another. They also spit out the blood again, but they usually digest the blood first, killing most viruses. 　4　 This means that the viruses can survive in the stable f ly until it is passed on to another being. A Today, there is still no knowing how it was spread. B In contrast, the stable f ly keeps blood undigested in its stomach. C Then, the virus could have been spread from human to human through sexual contact. D The most common way to know whether a person has the AIDS virus is blood tests. E Other insects, such as mosquitoes, inject poisons through one tube and suck blood through a separate one. 1

★☆☆☆☆　教 育

As toddlers begin to explore the world, most Asian parents seldom let them get near anything dangerous. They take many things away, such as scissors and knives because they worry that their children might hurt themselves. In contrast, some Western parents allow their children to try their hand at everything freely. They view bumps and cuts as part of the process of growing up. A famous British survival expert, Bear Grylls, urges that instead of teaching kids to avoid anything dangerous, we should teach them how to play with it safely. He even suggests that some basic survival skills like making a fire and using a penknife should be included in the lessons at school. Grylls’ idea is supported by an expert on child health, Jan Murray, who points out that parents should not over-protect their kids; on the contrary, they should allow them to develop independence and various skills. She says that trial and error is the main way for children to learn, and by taking risks, they understand the outcomes of their behavior. But most parents take away children’s freedom to cross the road or walk to school alone. It’s a pity that parents’ own concept or cultural expectations stop their children from taking adventures. “An adventure means a bold journey or action with uncertain outcomes. But by taking this adventurous ride, we gain great experiences,” explains Phil Harrison from Scouts Australia. “So, stop hesitating, parents. Take your kids to cook on an open fire, sleep under the stars, climb a tree or go canoeing. In this way, they are sure to have a wonderful childhood.” （　　）1 What is the main idea of this passage? A Asian parents always overprotect kids while Western parents do not do so. B Safety is always the main concern when children play games. C Allowing children to take risks helps them learn more. D Children are more likely to play with dangerous things than adults. （　　）2 What does Bear Grylls expect to happen at school? A Teachers offer survival kits for all children. B Children are taught how to stay alive in the woods. C Teachers introduce children to common creatures living in the wild. D Children practice fighting skills in order to survive.

B Though he is a boy scout, Phil Harrison doesn’t agree with Jan Murray’s idea. C Most parents do not let their children go to school alone because it is not recommended by experts. D Most children do not realize something is dangerous until they touch it. （　　）4 According to the passage, what does the author encourage parents to do? A To create a natural wild place for children at home. B To teach children how to appreciate the beauty of nature. C To take children to seek excitement in adventures.

As all the baseball players fixed their eyes on the pitcher, they looked completely focused. They all hoped to stand out in this tryout and be chosen to play in the World Cup. Sadly, no matter how well they performed, they could hardly receive any attention from the media simply because they were women baseball players. Women playing baseball are usually discriminated against. General people believe what girls or women should play is softball, which is considered safer and better for ladies. A.G. Spalding, the founder of a famous sports goods company, who made baseball popular, even announced in 1911 that baseball should be all-male, for women were not strong enough to play the game. Yet, the origin of women baseball can be traced back to the 1830s, when women played in baseball clubs, on amateur teams and at schools. In 1931, Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig were stricken out by a 17-year-old girl, Jackie Mitchell in a warmup match. Many female baseball players had great performance, such as Mamie “Peanut” Johnson, who pitched among male players for a couple of seasons. Women’s teams formed and attracted greater attention during World War II. However, in 1952, Major League Baseball stopped women from signing contracts with baseball teams. They said that women’s bones were weaker than men’s and that female baseball players ran a higher risk of getting breast cancer because their chests often got hit and neither of them was convincing. Female baseball players continue to be neglected, which is nothing but a result of sexism. （　　）1 What is this passage mainly about? A The historical development of female baseball. B Great women baseball players in Major League Baseball. C How women master baseball skills to become professional players. D The unfair attitude people take toward female baseball players. （　　）2 Which of the following is most likely to be the special feature in the sports section of the newspapers during World War II? A The picture of girl baseball players. B The interview of male softball players. C The announcement of banning women’s baseball. D The analysis of softball games.

There is no doubt that the lion, often called “the king of the jungle,” is one of the most powerful animals in the world. Far from what the name “jungle” suggests, however, most lions live on the grasslands on the plains of East Africa. The only lions that can be found to live in a jungle habitat are those in the Gir Forest National Park in western India. In Africa, lions use the long grass on the plain to hide themselves in when they are hunting their prey, which includes other large animals like zebras, giraffes, buffalos and wildebeests. They usually hunt for food at night. In a group with around 10-15 members, it is the females that are responsible for up to ninety percent of the hunting. A male lion typically protects the pride and looks after its territory. Lions are amazing hunters. They can run at up to 80 kilometers per hour over short distances. They have to do a lot of hunting, as a female lion needs 5 kg of meat a day, and a male lion needs at least 7 kg. An adult male lion can make very loud sound. Its roar can be heard even 8 kilometers away. Both males and females live for an average of 12 years in the wild. Few live longer than 16 years. In zoos, they can live around 25 years. （　　）1 What is the best title for the passage?

　　當有些人為了快速獲得完美體態而去做整型手術時，更多人最近從事棒式運動來健身。和常常所 費不貲的整型手術不同，棒式健身僅需你自己的身體，若有需要的話，再加上一塊軟墊。做棒式運動 不必上健身房，因為幾乎任何時間、任何地點都可以做。棒式可以是一個完整健身計畫中的一部分， 或是睡前花不到半小時所做的一項運動。 　　你不必是專業運動員才能做棒式運動。只要你希望強化肌肉或是減輕背痛，運用不同姿勢做出的 棒式運動都能幫助你達成目標。做棒式運動有幾個不同的方式，端看你要訓練何項肌肉群或是想要怎 樣的強度。做基礎棒式，只要從伏地挺身的姿勢開始即可，然後慢慢地彎曲手肘、延伸雙腿。這會使 你的全身從軀幹到腳踝形成一直線。緊縮腹部肌肉，撐住大約 50 秒左右。務必要用上臂支撐身體的重 量，而不是將身體重量放在手上。若想給更進一步挑戰自我，你可以將身體側轉 90 度，形成側棒式， 或者可以藉由舉起四肢其中之一來增加強度。 　　一旦養成做棒式運動的習慣，擁有平坦小腹及緊實肌肉的身材將不再是夢想。 1 由空格後的下一句內容得知：做此運動不需要去健身房，故「僅僅」需要自己的身體和墊子，因此 選B nothing but「只是、僅僅」＝only＝merely。 2 本題應填副詞。既然不必去健身房，那「幾乎」什麼地點都可以做棒式運動，故選I nearly，幾乎。 4 wish to＋VR＝hope to＋VR「希望做某事」，所以本題應填一原形動詞，故選C ease。ease back pain 為「舒緩背痛」之意。 6 本題位於動詞組 bend your elbow（彎曲你的手肘）之前，故應填一副詞，依文意選F slowly 慢慢地。 7 本題位於 make＋O 之後，故可填原形動詞，語意為「使你的全身形成一直線」，故選E形成。 8 用 forearms 及 hands 支撐身體是兩個不同方法。根據文意可知，做棒式要用 forearms「而不是」 hands，故選G rather than，而不是。 9 本題應填入名詞，當 give 的受詞，側轉 90 度的 side plank 更難，是一項「挑戰」，故選D challenge，挑戰。 0 by＋V-ing「藉由…」，依文意，抬起四肢之一，難度更高，故選H lifting，舉起。

　　在過去幾十年來，愛滋病病毒深深困擾著全世界。許多生物學家相信病毒來自於猴子，在二十世 紀前半期左右首次感染了人類。1.A今日，沒有人確切知道病毒到底是怎麼傳播開來的。然而一項新的 研究或許可以提供解答這個問題。 　　在這項研究中的科學家們認為當初病毒的傳播可能始於一種叫做「螫蠅」的吸血昆蟲。牠刮破受 害者的皮膚並且吸了點血。接著，牠飛到下一位受害者處，吐出一些血來。很可能螫蠅咬了一隻受感 染的猴子，接著咬了人類，把疾病感染給人類。2.C然病毒可能接著在人與人之間藉由性交傳染。 　　螫蠅在吸血昆蟲中相當獨特，因為其他種類的吸血昆蟲不太具有傳染病毒的高危險性。3.E其他昆 蟲像蚊子會由一個口器注射毒液，而由另一個口器吸血。如此一來，被咬的動物之間的血液不會彼此 交換。他們也會再次吐出血來，但通常牠們會先消化這些血液，此舉已殺死了大部分的病毒。4.B相較 之下，螫蠅讓胃中的血液保持未消化狀態。這表示直到被傳染到下一個生命體之前，這些病毒可以在 螫蠅體中存活著。 －3－

1 由空格後一句為線索：新的研究可能可以解答這個「問題」，因此選A，今日沒人知道原因。 2 以空格前句為線索，得知人類受到感染，因此空格需選C，說明病毒如何在人與人之間散播開來。 3 由前句為線索，得知其他吸血昆蟲不像螫蠅那樣，因此選E，舉例蚊子來做說明其與螫蠅不同處。 4 前句說明這些昆蟲會消化血液殺死病毒，空格之處則選B，說明螫蠅相反的狀態。 × 未中選選項：D要知道一個人是否感染艾滋病病毒的最常見方法是驗血。

　　當學步兒開始探索世界時，大部分的亞洲父母很少讓他們接近任何危險的東西。他們將許多東西 拿走，例如剪刀及刀片，因為他們擔心以孩子們會傷到自己。相反地，有些西方父母讓孩子允許小 孩們自由地嘗試任何事物。他們將腫塊及切傷傷口視為成長過程的一部分。一位英國知名的求生專家 Bear Grylls 主張不要教導孩子避開任何危險的東西，而是要教導他們如何用安全的方式玩這些危險的東 西。他甚至建議學校課程裡應該涵蓋一些基本求生技能，像是生火以及使用摺疊小刀。 　　Grylls 的想法獲得兒童健康專家 Jan Murray 的支持，她指出父母不該過度保護孩子；相反的，他們 應該允許小孩發展獨立及各種技能。她說嘗試錯誤是孩子學習的主要方式，藉由冒險，他們了解了行 為的後果。但大部分的父母親剝奪孩子過馬路或獨自走路上學的自由。父母親自身的想法或文化的期 待使得他們的孩子無法冒險，這是令人感到可惜的。 　　「冒險係指一段結果未知的大膽旅程或舉動。但藉由這個冒險旅程，我們獲得很棒的經驗」，來 自澳洲童軍團的 Phil Harrison 解釋道。「因此，父母們，別遲疑了！帶著你的孩子去野炊、在星空下入 眠、爬樹或是泛舟。如此一來，他們一定會擁有很棒的童年。」 1 本文主旨為何？ A亞洲父母總是過度保護孩子，而西方父母不會這麼做。 B小孩玩遊戲時，安全總是最大考量。 C允許孩子冒險幫助孩子有更多學習。（通篇文章皆在強調此一概念。） D小孩比成人更可能玩危險物品。 2 Bear Grylls 希望學校發生什麼事？ A老師為所有學生提供救生包。 B教小孩如何在樹林裡求生。（根據第一段最後一句可知，Grylls 希望學校教授求生技能。） C老師介紹孩子認識野外常見的生物。 D孩子為了生存而學習格鬥技巧。 3 我們可以從本文推論出什麼？ A除非孩子被告知會遇見什麼，否則不鼓勵他們去旅行。 （文章未提及，且根據第三段第一句，所謂冒險是指結果未知。） B雖然 Phil Harrison 是男童子軍，但他不認同 Jan Murray 的看法。（兩人看法相同。） C大部分父母不會讓孩子單獨上學，因為專家不建議這麼做。（文章未提及。） D許多小孩直到接觸某樣東西才明白那是危險的。（根據第二段第二句可知。） 4 根據本文，作者鼓勵父母做什麼？ A在家創造出自然的野外環境。 B教孩子欣賞自然的美。（全文未提到如何欣賞自然的美，而是鼓勵「體驗」野外生活） C帶孩子在冒險中尋求刺激。（根據文章第三段可知。） D讓孩子待在有保護的舒適環境。

　　當所有棒球選手將目光鎖定在投手身上，他們看起來全神貫注。他們都希望在這場選拔賽中脫穎 而出，並且能被選中在世界盃錦標賽中出賽。但令人傷心的是，無論他們表現多優異，只因為她們是女 性棒球選手，便很難得到媒體的注意。打棒球的女性常遭受歧視。一般大眾認為女性該從事的是壘球， －4－

因為壘球被認為對女士們而言較安全、且較適合。使棒球成為普及休閒活動的知名運動用品公司創辦人 A.G. Spalding 甚至在 1911 年宣布棒球應該是全男性運動，因為女人不夠強健到可以打棒球。 　　然而女子棒球的起源事實上可回溯至 1830 年代，當時的女人在棒球俱樂部、業餘隊伍及學校中打 棒球。1931 年時，Babe Ruth 和 Lou Gehrig 曾被 17 歲少女 Jackie Mitchell 在一場暖身賽中三振出局。 許多女性球員有著出色的表現，例如 Mamie “Peanut” Johnson，她曾經在男性球員的比賽中投過好幾季 的球。女子隊伍在二次世界大戰時成立並獲得更多關注。然而在 1952 年，大聯盟禁止女性與棒球隊簽 合約。他們說女性的骨骼較男性脆弱，且女性球員因為胸部經常遭受撞擊而可能有更高的風險罹患乳 癌，這兩者說詞皆無說服力。女子棒球選手持續被忽略，這一切就是性別主義的結果。 1 本文主要和什麼有關？ A女子棒球的歷史發展。 B大聯盟裡傑出女子棒球選手。 C女性如何精通棒球技巧以成為職業選手。 D人們對女子棒球選手抱持的不公平態度。 （由通篇文章可知，文章主旨是在詳述女性棒球選手如何不被重視，以及性別主義之下對女球員的 不公平態度。本文主要並非敘述女子棒球的演進歷史，若是以此為主旨，則文章會以時間遠至近， 層層推移敘述女性棒球演進的重大事件及歷史演變，因此A非正解。） 2 下列何者最可能是二次世界大戰期間報紙運動版裡的特別報導？ A女子棒球選手的照片。（根據第二段第四句可知，女子棒球在二戰期間受到重視。） B男子壘球選手的訪談。 C宣布禁止女子棒球。 D壘球比賽分析。 3 哪一年是女子棒球沒落的開始？ A 1830　B 1911　C 1931　D 1952 （根據本文第二段倒數第三句。） 4 下列何者為真？ A Jackie Mitchell 在許多大聯盟比賽中三振 Babe Ruth 和 Lou Gehrig。（是在暖身賽） B Mamie “Peanut” Johnson 在 1952 年後被禁止參加任何棒球比賽。 （1952 年是禁止女球員與棒球隊簽約） C人們普遍相信女子棒球球員和男子球員一樣好。 （根據第一段第三、四句，一般人對女子打棒球有偏見） D為了阻止女子打棒球，人們編造了一些藉口。 （根據本文最後一句，那些沒有說服力的理由就是性別主義的結果，所以是藉口）

　　毫無疑問地，通常被稱為「森林之王」的獅子是世界上最強大的動物之一。但是，大多數獅子一 點也不如「森林」這個名字所暗示的那樣居住在森林，而是生活在東非平原上的草原上。唯一能被發 現生活在叢林棲息地中的獅子是印度西部吉爾森林國家公園中的獅子。 　　在非洲，獅子在狩獵獵物時會用平原上的長草掩藏，這些獵物其中包括斑馬、長頸鹿、水牛和牛 羚等其他大型動物。牠們通常在晚上進行狩獵。在一個大約有 10 到 15 隻成員的群體中，母獅子負責 高達 90 ％的狩獵任務。公獅子通常會保護獅群並照料其領土。獅子是令人驚奇的狩獵者。牠們可以在 短距離內以每小時 80 公里的速度奔跑。牠們必須大量地狩獵，因為一頭母獅子每天需要 5 公斤肉，而 一頭公獅子則至少需要 7 公斤肉。 　　成年雄獅能發出很大的聲響。牠們的吼叫聲甚至在八公里以外的地方被聽到。雄獅和雌獅在野外 的平均壽命是 12 年。很少能活超過 16 年。在動物園裡，牠們最多大概可以活 25 年。 －5－

1 本文最適合的標題為何？ A獅子—驚人的跑者。　　　　B獅子—動物園裡的超級巨星。 C獅子—平原上的神奇動物。　D獅子—叢林的神奇的狩獵者。 （由通篇文章可知，本文並非著重探討獅子驚人的奔跑速度，也非探討動物園裡的獅子，故選項 AB不可選。另外只有少數的獅子居住叢林中，因此D選項亦不符，故選C。） 2 將文章中的關鍵詞填入圖表中的空格處。 關於獅子的基本事實 他們常被稱為森林之王。 他們的棲息地大部分是平原上的草原區。唯一例外的是那些居住在某個印度國家公園中　a jungle (habitat) 叢林（棲息地）　的獅子。（見第一段最後一句。） 牠們的壽命通常是 　12　 年，母獅及公獅皆是如此。最長的可活到 　16　 年。動物園裡的獅 子則可以活到高達 25 歲。（見最後一段 3 ∼ 5 句。） 每個獅群通常有 10 ∼ 15 個成員。 牠們的速度是每小時 　80 kilometers（80 公里）　，而牠們每天吃 5 ∼ 7 公斤的肉。（見第二 段倒數第二句。） 3 根據文章內容，勾選獅子的分工內容項目是屬於公獅或是母獅。 公獅 百分之九十的狩獵
