Airline passengers may have noticed that all plane windows have rounded edges, instead of the hard corners commonly found in our house. The round windows are indeed pleasant to the eye, but they actually were designed for reasons 16 aesthetics.

In the early days of aviation, plane windows 17 square in shape. Then as commercial air travel became popular in the 1950s and airplanes began flying higher and faster, three planes mysteriously broke apart in midair. The cause? Square windows. Scientists found that sharp corners are natural weak spots where stress concentrates. The problem is 18 when airplanes fly at higher altitudes, where the difference between the inside and outside pressure increases, causing added stress. When subjected to repeated pressurization high in the sky, the four corners on a square window may 19 .

Curved windows, on the other hand, distribute stress around more evenly, reducing the likelihood of cracks or breaks. Circular shapes are also stronger and resist deformation, and therefore can 20 extreme differences in pressure inside and outside of an aircraft.

A stunt person is a man or a woman who performs dangerous acts, usually in the television or movie industry. In this line of work, the person is paid to do daring actions that are deemed too 21 for the regular actor to perform, including jumping from heights, crashing cars, or fighting with weapons.

Stunt work emerged out of 22 over time. In the early days of the film industry, actors themselves shot acrobatic acts and dangerous scenes, until they began to get injured. There were, however, no 23 crew members to perform impressive stunts at that time. If something dangerous needed to be done for a scene, the producers would hire anyone crazy or desperate enough to do it. These people were not trained to perform stunts, so they often 24 things for the first time during the actual shooting. They had to learn from their own mistakes, which 25 some their lives, and almost all suffered light or severe injuries.

Beginning around 1910, audiences developed a taste for serial action movies, which 26 the use of dedicated stunt people to perform in dangerous scenes. Such demand increased with the rise of western movies, and many cowboys with masterful skills on horseback found a new 27 as a stunt person. Tom Mix and Yakima Canutt were among the most famous. The 1960s and ’70s 28 the development of most modern stunt technology, like air rams and bullet squibs. That technology has continued to evolve into the present.

Today, CGI (computer generated imagery) is widely used in filmmaking, and it is now 29 to create very lifelike scenes without using real stunt people. However, CGI has difficulties of its own, and there will always be a demand for the realism and thrilling 30 of an actual stunt. So the stunt industry is probably in no immediate danger of dying off.

一個特技表演者是一個在電視或電影業界中進行危險動作的男人或女人。在這個工作中，這個人被付錢進行被認為對於普通演員來說太危險的大膽行動，包括從高處跳下、撞車或使用武器戰鬥。

特技工作是逐漸發展起來的。在電影業的早期，演員自己拍攝難度高的動作和危險場景，直到他們開始受傷為止。然而，那個時候沒有專業的特技演員來表演令人印象深刻的特技。如果一個場景需要危險的動作，製片人會雇用任何瘋狂或絕望到做的人。這些人並沒有接受特技訓練，所以他們常常在真正的拍攝過程中第一次試著做這些事情。他們必須從自己的錯誤中學習，這導致了一些人的生命，幾乎所有人都受到輕微或嚴重的傷害。

從1910年左右開始，觀眾對連續動作電影產生了興趣，這促使使用專業的特技人員進行危險場景的表演。隨著西部片的興起，這樣的需求增加了，許多精通騎馬技巧的牛仔找到了新的職業作為特技演員。湯姆·米克斯（Tom Mix）和亞基瑪·克納特（Yakima Canutt）是其中最著名的人物。20世紀60年代和70年代見證了大多數現代特技技術的發展，例如空氣砲和彈藥爆炸效果。這些技術一直在不斷演進至今。

如今，電影製作中廣泛使用電腦生成的影像（CGI），現在可以創建非常逼真的場景而不需要使用真正的特技演員。然而，CGI本身也存在困難，而且總會對實際特技的真實感和刺激性有需求。所以特技行業可能不會立即消失。

第21題: risky - 危險的特技行動對普通演員來說太危險。 第22題: necessity - 隨著電影業的發展和需求，特技工作逐漸出現。 第23題: professional - 早期的特技表演者並不是專業人士。 第24題: tried out - 早期的特技表演者在實際拍攝過程中嘗試一些新的事情。 第25題: cost - 早期的特技表演者因為沒有接受特技訓練而花費了一些生命，並遭受了輕微或嚴重的傷害。 第26題: called for - 連續動作電影的興起需要專業的特技演員。 第27題: career - 擅長騎馬技巧的牛仔找到了作為特技演員的新職業。 第28題: witnessed - 20世紀60年代和70年代見證了現代特技技術的發展。 第29題: possible - 電影製作中現在可以使用CGI創建非常逼真的特技場景。 第30題: sensation - 特技工作的真實感和刺激性一直受到需求的重視。

Obon, or the Bon Festival, is a Japanese holiday that honors the spirits of the dead. 31 The festival usually lasts for four to five days in August. During this period, many people travel back to their hometowns and spend time with loved ones, both past and present.

Though not a national holiday, Obon is surely one of the most traditional events of the year. Celebration often begins with mukaebi (welcoming fire), during which people make a small bonfire in front of their house to guide spirits upon their return back home. 32 Food offerings are presented at house altars and temples. Some regions prepare horses made of cucumbers and cows made of eggplants, hoping that the spirits will come back to Earth quickly, on a horse, and leave slowly, riding the cow.

33 Paper lanterns and offerings are sent floating down rivers to accompany the ancestors back to their resting place. Many areas will also organize bon-odori dances. The style of the dances varies from region to region but is normally based on the rhythms of taiko drums. Performers usually play on a tall stage with lanterns and banners strung all around. Participants, often dressed in light cotton kimonos, are encouraged to dance to the music around the stage. 34 Originally dedicated to the deceased, the dances have now become a symbol of the summer festival themselves.

(A) Some people also visit the cemetery to clean up the family graves and pray for their ancestors.

第 35 至 38 題為題組

Standing proud in the savannah with their red blankets and painted shields, the Maasai people are one of the widely known symbols of East Africa. Their unique style, as remarked by Karen Blixen, author of Out of Africa, “has grown from the inside, and is an expression of the race and its history.”

The Maasai are a semi-nomadic group in Kenya and northern Tanzania, wandering in bands and living almost entirely on the meat, blood, and milk of their herds. Over the years, the fearless tribesmen have stood strong against slavery, and resisted the urging of the Kenyan and Tanzanian governments to adopt a more modern lifestyle. In fact, they are one of the few tribes that have retained most of their traditions. Up until recently, the only way for a Maasai boy to achieve warrior status was to single-handedly kill a lion with his spear.

Maasai clothing varies with age, gender, and place. The most recognizable piece of clothing is the shúkà, a sheet of fabric worn wrapped around the body. Red is a popular color, and women generally opt for checked, striped, or patterned pieces of cloth. Young men wear black for several months after their circumcision, a ritual signifying their coming of age. A Maasai warrior is rarely seen without his spear and shield. In Blixen’s words, “their weapons and finery are as much a part of their being as are a stag’s antlers” (a male deer’s horns).

Beadwork is an important part of Maasai culture. Beaded jewelry is made by women, and is famous for its complexity. Natural materials such as clay, shells, and ivory were used before trading with the Europeans in the 19 th century. They were then replaced by colorful glass beads, allowing for more detailed beadwork and color patterns. Multicolored beadwork is popular among both men and women. Each color holds a special meaning: White stands for peace, green for land and production, while red—the most favored color among the Maasai—is the symbol of unity and bravery.

35. Which of the following pictures best represents the image of a typical Maasai warrior?

(A) (B)

(C) (D)

36. What can we learn from the passage about the Maasai people?

(A) They have been urged by governments to leave behind their traditions.

(B) They resist foreign influence because they were enslaved in the past.

(C) A boy has to kill a lion by himself before becoming an adult.

(D) A Maasai woman is usually good at beadwork and farming.

37. Which of the following is true about Maasai clothing and beadwork?

(A) Striped and patterned cloth is preferred by young adults.

(B) Young men cannot wear black until they become warriors.

(C) Colorful glass jewelry became popular after the 19 th century.

(D) The color of the shúkà represented one’s importance in the tribe.

38. Why does the author quote Blixen’s comment at the end of the third paragraph?

(A) To explain how Maasai warriors hunt for deer in the wild.

(B) To exemplify the types of weapons used by Maasai warriors.

(C) To emphasize that weapons are an inseparable part of a Maasai warrior’s outfit.

(D) To show the similarities between the behavior of a Maasai warrior and that of a male deer.

A hard hat is a helmet used mostly at worksites to protect the head from injuries due to falling objects. Since its introduction in the early 20 th century, the headgear has saved countless lives and is considered the number one safety tool for construction workers.

The hard hat was invented in 1919 by Edward W. Bullard, who had just returned from World War I. Before the war, workers used to smear their hats with coal tar for protection of their head. Bullard, having witnessed the life-saving power of the metal helmet in the War, decided to produce a head protection device that was affordable for every worker and lightweight enough to be worn all day long. The Hard Boiled Hat was thus born, using steamed canvas and leather, covered with black paint, and featuring a suspension system to reduce impact. Soon, hard hats became widely used. The headgear was later made mandatory at construction sites in major construction projects, such as the Hoover Dam in 1931 and the Golden Gate Bridge in 1933.

Over the past century, hard hats have advanced considerably, evolving from canvas and leather to aluminum, fiberglass, and, eventually, to thermoplastic. Recently, new models have been introduced and accessories added to meet the needs of laborers working on various job sites. For instance, a ventilated hard hat was developed to keep wearers cooler, and see-through face shields were attached to better see the hazards lurking above. Today, attachments include radios, sensors, cameras, and a lot more. A common color code has also been developed for recognizing people and their roles on site. Yellow is used for general laborers and contractors, white (or sometimes black) for supervisors and managers, and green for inspectors and new workers.

New products continue to expand the market. Global sales of hard hats totaled USD 2.1 billion in 2016, and are expected to reach USD 3.19 billion in 2025.

39. Which of the following aspects about hard hats is NOT discussed in the passage?

(A) Their functions. (B) Their appearances. (C) Their materials. (D) Their limitations.

40. In what order did the following protective hats appear?

a. fiberglass hats

c. hats with canvas and leather

d. hats with tar over them

(A) dcab (B) cdba (C) cbad (D) dcba

(B) The inspiration came from the inventor’s wartime experience.

(C) It was standard equipment for construction workers in the 1920s.

(D) Different colors are used in different industries to signal the roles of people on site.
