Section A
New Report One
A poisonous fish which has a sting strong enough to kill a human is invading the Mediterranean, warned scientists. The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (UICN) has raised concerns 【Q1】after the poisonous fish was spotted in the waters around Turkey, Cyprus and the eastern Mediterranean. Native to the South Pacific and Indian Ocean, the potentially deadly fish has poisonous hooks and a painful sting capable of killing people. Although fatalities are rare, the stings can cause extreme pain and stop people breathing. The fish, often known as Devil Firefish, is a highly invasive species. And environmentalists fear 【Q2】its arrival could endanger other types of marine life. After being spotted in the Mediterranean, a marine scientist says, 「The fish is spreading, and that’s a cause for concern.」
Q1: What is reported in the news?
1. A deadly fish has been spotted in the Mediterranean waters.
新聞主旨題，著重聽前兩句。poisonous 和deadly 同義替換
Q2: What is the environmentalists』 concern of the spread of Devil Firefish in the Mediterranean?
2. 2. C) lt could pose a threat to other marine species.
細節題，關注人/機構的觀點和話語。 「pose a threat to」和原文中 endanger 同義替換， 「讓……處於危險之中」
New Report Two
【Q3】Almost half the centre of Paris will be accessible only by foot or bicycle this Sunday to mark World Car-Free Day. 【Q4】This is in response to rising air pollution that made Paris the most polluted city in the world for a brief time. Mayor Anne Hidalgo promoted the first World Car Free Day last year. Hidalgo also has supported a Paris Breathes Day. On the first Sunday of every month, Paris clears traffic from eight lanes of the main road. About 400 miles of streets will be closed to cars. It is expected to bring significant reduction in pollution levels. 「Last year’s car-free day showed a 40% drop in pollution levels in some parts of the city, according to an independent air pollution monitor」, reports the Guardian, 「and some levels dropped by 50% in the city centre.」
Q3: What will happen on World Car Free Day in Paris?
3.B) About half of its city center will be closed to cars.
選項和原文「Almost half the centre of Paris will be accessible only by foot or bicycle this Sunday to mark World Car-Free Day.」同義替換， 原文 「 half」 「only by foot or bicycle」 和選項 「half」 「be closed to cars.」 意思一樣。
Q4: What motivated the mayor of Paris to promote the first World Car Free Day in her city?
細節題，問目的，原文中「This is in response to rising air pollution that made Paris the most polluted city in the world for a brief time.」 這是為了應對「空氣汙染」
4.A) The rising air pollution in Paris
News report 3
【Q5】A Philippine fisherman was feeling down on his luck when a house fire forced him to clear out his possessions and change locations. Then, a good luck charm that he had kept under his bed changed his life.
【Q6】The unidentified man had fished out a giant pearl from the ocean when his anchor got stuck on the rock while sailing off a coastal island in the Philippines ten years ago.
When he was forced to sell it, 【Q7】the shocked tourist agent at Puerto Princesca told him that the 77-pound giant pearl that he had kept hidden in his rundown wooden house was the biggest pearl in the world, which was valued at £76 million.
The pearl of Allah, which is currently on display in a New York museum, only weighs 14 pounds. That is five times smaller than the pearl that the fisherman just handed in.
The monstrous pearl, measured at 1 foot wide and 2.2 feet long, is going to be verified by local experts and international authorities before hopefully going on display to attract more tourists in the little town.
Q5: What happened to the Philippine fisherman one day?
5.B) His house was burnt down in a fire.
新聞導語有交代 a house fire 家裡發生火災
Q6: What was the fisherman forced to do?
6.D) Sell the pearl he had kept for years.
原文中有提到「giant pearl」 「he was forced to sell it」 和選項內容一致。
Q7: What did the fisherman learn from the tourist agent?
7.C) His monstrous pearl was extremely valuable.
原文「the biggest pearl in the world, which was valued at £76 million.」 珍珠大，價值高。
