Section B

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the once that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

Digital health refers to the system of interconnected devices that can monitor and report important health information. Doctors can then use that information to ensure that your treatment is tailor-made to your situation.

The most useful aspect of digital health is the ability to constantly and accurately monitor vital information. Wearable devices can record your blood pressure or the rhythm of your heartbeat. The information is then accessible remotely through the internet, so your doctor has a wealth of information about your daily health. Your doctor can then use that information remotely to make changes to your treatment at any time.

A survey conducted by the company Lightico in March 2020, reveals how satisfied consumers are with this type of remote care. Forty-one percent said that the remote treatment they had received by means of digital devices and the internet was cither "good" or "excellent." The same positive attitude toward digital health can be seen among investors. ln the first quarter of 2020, US $3.1 billion in new investments poured into the digital health industry, setting a new investment record.

Much of the excitement is connected close with the use of voice technology in digital health care. Today, around 2.5billion devices have voice interfaces (界面) like Alexa, which enable the devices to produce and understand speech. As a result, users can communicate with these devices about their health needs by speaking instead of typing on a computer. Seniors, for example, can use Alexa to check their daily schedules and receive reminders to take their medicine.

Advances in digital health, however, also bring privacy concerns. Information regarding your health could be used for advertising or marketing, for example. lf health records are accessible online, protecting your information from theft and unauthorized use might be difficult. But if managed properly, the benefits of digital health could certainly outweigh the risks.

(C)

Far below every town and city lies an invisible network of pipes crucial to the lives of their residents. Once water disappears down a pipe or toilet, people rarely think about what happens to it. lt's out of sight, out of mind. The waterflows into pipes that carry excess rainwater, waste water and solid waste away, keeping the city clean.

There are three main types of sewers (下水道) : sanitary(卫生的) sewers, storm sewers and combined sewers. Taipei has both sanitary and storm sewers where rainwater and sewage are collected using different pipes.

This sewer system functions as a city's veins (静脉). Water containing human and industrial waste is collected insanitary sewers and conveyed to sewage treatment plants, the heart of the sewer system, where waste is treated. There, the solid waste is separated from the water, which is then cleaned before being released back into the environment. It will be recused for industrial, agricultural or environmental purposes or to produce energy. Furthermore, the mud and gas from sewage treatment can be used to produce energy. They not only contribute to a healthy environment and good quality of life, but also achieve the goal of sustainable development.

While wastewater collection and treatment are critical to the health of urban residents, storm sewers also play an important role in the city. Green space has given way to concrete during the island's rapid development and extensive building projects over the past few decades. As a consequence, there has been a loss of the land's natural water as concrete cannot absorb rainwater. When an extreme weather event like a severe storm or typhoon brings heavy rain, storm sewers must cope with the water, so it does not flood the city. However, storm sewers are only part of the measures for water management and flood prevention.

To reduce flooding, an integrated urban drainage management plan has been adopted, where all the factors – storm sewers, land planning and economic development - are considered together. Engineering innovations, additional flood discharge facilities and increased green space requirements in new development projects have improved water maintaining in cities.

Who knew that sewers help improve urban public health, prevent urban flooding and boost environmental protection? Together they protect vital water resources and maintain the safety of people and property.

63. According to the passage, the word " excess" in the first paragraph probably means ______.

A. useless

B. polluted

C. extra

D. processed

64. According to the passage, what does the city build two kinds of sewers for?

A. To test wastewater timely and to develop rapidly.

B. To treat wastewater and to fight against flooding.

C. To form a circulation and to clean the city.

D. To clean wastewater and to manage water.

65. What can we conclude from the passage?

A. What is unseen is as important as what is seen.

B. There are three types of sewers in every city.

C. People build sewer system because of concrete.

D. Sewers are usually repaired every few decades.

66. What would be the proper title for the passage?

A. A City's Underground Construction

B. A City's Hidden Network

C. How A City Operate Well

D. Two Aspects of A City or Town

Section C

Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.

You're enjoying a delicious bowl of noodles or your favorite rice dish, chatting with your friends. Being the responsible person that you are, when you're finished you clean up your table and throw away your garbage, including your disposable (一次性的) chopsticks. These chopsticks wind up in a landfill along with other chopsticks around the globe. 67_____ Turns out we can.

For those consuming Asian food, using chopsticks as eating tools is almost second nature. It has been estimated that 20 to 33 percent of the world's population uses chopsticks on a daily basis. Not all of those are disposable, but no doubt many are. Estimates indicate that up to 80 billion disposable chopsticks arc used worldwide every year. 68_____

Enter Felix Bock, a doctoral student at the time in the forestry program at the University of British Columbia, Canada. Bock was cager to find a way to recycle wood from construction projects, and he had a particular interest in bamboo. One day he found a drawer in his girlfriend's house filled with disposable bamboo chopsticks, and an idea began to form in his mind.

Bock's smart idea was to give a second life to disposable chopsticks by making them into home decorations. He tried to convince restaurant owners to install recycling bins in their restaurants. He also designed a method to clean and sanitize(消毒) the chopsticks so that they could be reused. 69_____ The square pieces were then artistically arranged into household and office products. Bock's company, called Chop Value, has repurposed chopsticks into wall decorations, desktops, cutting boards and even table games such as dominoes (多米诺骨牌).

Since 2016 when the company was founded, Chop Value has rescued billions of chopsticks from landfills. Instead of an economy based on the typical take-make-dispose model, Chop Value seeks to create one that transforms waste into a usable resource. Bock states in an interview with Global Shakers," Frankly, I’m frustrated by everyone trying to be sustainable when they are looking away from the visible things that we can do immediately with the materials right in front of us." 70_____

lV. Summary Writing

71. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

Home sweet home - this phrase arouses all sorts of images and feelings. The place you call home might be a house.an apartment, a tent or any of a countless variety of places. But did you know that the condition of your living space can have an impact on your emotions and even on your mental health? By controlling some of these variables, you can help to achieve a more peaceful life.

lt goes without saying that the lighting in your room or in your house can affect your mood. lf the lighting is too weak, it can have a negative effect on your emotions，and your mood may end up matching the dark atmosphere Artificial light may not do the trick, however. It is better to open your curtains because natural sunlight makes your whole day brighter.

You have to do more than just remove poisonous substances from your home. To ensure good mental health, surround yourself with nature. Numerous studies have demonstrated that the presence of green plants in your home can improve your mood.

Let's all admit it: We have trouble keeping our space clean. Somehow stuff just tends to pile up. But this problem involves more than just aesthetics (美感). lt doesn't just look terrible: it makes you feel terrible. A cluttered room both reveals stress and causes stress. Disorder can indicate that you're too busy to keep things tidy, but then looking at a mess can lead to more stress. Straightening up doesn't have to take all day - just take 10 or 15 minutes and put a few things away. You'll be surprised how much better you'll feel.

The color palette(用色风格) of your environment does more than passively reflect your color preferences. It also has an active influence on your mood and even your mental health. Choosing colors that create a calm atmosphere can be a type of therapy.

The sky is the limit to ways you can make your environment beneficial to good mental health. You could put up photos of your family and friends or post encouraging notes from people that show how much they love you. Just remember: Your surroundings can make your "home sweet home" even sweeter.
