Compare the Louvre's policy toward copyists now and in the past. Past: (16) _____ ; Now: (17) _____ (The woman is back from Paris, and the man asks her about Louvre.) M: You said there were often many copyists at work around the paintings. Doesn’t that make it pretty crowded for the regular visitors? W: Well, yes. The Louvre's original policy was that anyone should be free to set up painting equipment and start copying. But eventually it got so crowded that the museum had to start issuing special permits and limiting the hours for copyists. These days, the copyists can only work from 9 A.M. to 1:30 P.M. most days of the week. 15

閱讀測驗 19
能力說明、題型介紹、與測驗目標 分項測驗內容題數時間文章字數測驗目標 Part I 略讀 Skimming & Scanning 2020min 共約 2,500 字 評量考生能否運用閱讀策略瀏覽 文章,以便能迅速的掌握文章主 旨,理解段落大意,並快速查閱 特定的資訊。 Part II 精 讀 Careful reading 2050min 共約 3,000 字 評量考生能否掌握各類文章的主 旨、大意及重要的細部資訊,理 解文章的脈絡與架構,並能推測 作者的言外之意、觀點及態度。 能力說明: 能閱讀各種不同主題、體裁的文章,包括報章雜誌、文學作品、 專業期刊、學術著作及文獻等。 20
全民英檢高級閱讀的特色 將精讀 (careful reading) 與略讀 (Skimming & Scanning) 兩個部分獨立,設定不同的測驗目標及 閱讀速度要求,使用不同的題型組合,並分別限 定作答時間。 日常生活經驗,如看報紙: 1. 快速掃過 (expeditious reading) 2. 遇到有興趣的標題、關鍵字,才仔細閱讀該段落 (careful reading) 21
Expeditious reading 的重要性 在大學或研究所,學生與學者每周需處理數百頁 的報告、文章、書籍,但在數百頁中,多數的內 容與當下的工作無關 學生與學者常需將多份資料中的訊息加以整合、 比較、與提出自己的見解 Search reading :專注在相關的資訊上,使人可以 更有效率的達到學習目標。 22
Part 1A 與 1B 段落標題配對 ( 文章圖 ) 23
Part 1A 與 1B 段落標題配對 例題 先花點時間讀各個 headline. 搭配 Headline H 的段落,可能包含哪些關鍵字? imperial : decree : monopoly : be created : royal, king, prince royal charter, grant company newly formed 24
Part 1A 與 1B 段落標題配對 例題 (The heading for the previous paragraph is E.) 21. ______ At the time of Hudson's expedition, France already possessed colonies in North America. To compete for the wealth of this unexplored continent, Britain's King Charles II commissioned a further expedition, which returned to Hudson Bay in 1665 and established trading relations with Indians there. The expedition was financed by investors who included Charles' cousin, Prince Rupert. Its success led the king to sign a Royal Charter in 1670 granting Rupert and his partners unlimited rights to nearly four million square kilometers of land adjoining Hudson Bay. Named Rupert's Land, the vast territory would be controlled solely by the newly formed Hudson’s Bay Company. 25
應試要訣 1. 增加字彙量,看懂 heading 與內文關鍵字,才能 順利配對 2. 了解 expeditious reading 不需每個字都讀 3. Chunking or reading in chunks ,「組塊閱讀」 好的讀者通常不會逐詞閱讀,因為意義的形成是由多 組字詞結合而成。若要提高閱讀理解能力與效率,我 們需要將小單位轉換為較大的單位,把有相關意義的 單詞結合為一個「組塊」 (chunk) ,並且試著理解前後 組塊間的關係與連結。 26

Part II 例題 ( 文章圖 ) 33
Q6: Explain why observation of teachers in action is an unreliable form of assessment. Traditionally, schools have rated their teachers based on their professional credentials, levels of education, and teaching experience. Yet the fact is that none of these measures is very reliable: the fact that a teacher has a master's degree or many years of experience is no guarantee that he or she is effective in the classroom. Administrators have also evaluated their teachers by sitting in on their classes and watching them teach. Such classroom observations, however, are too infrequent to give administrators an accurate view of how teachers perform on a daily basis. Moreover, classroom observations are highly subjective since administrators tend to form judgments according to their own preferences for certain teaching methods and their personal interpretations of teachers' actions during class. To improve the quality of teacher evaluations, what is needed is an objective measure of each teacher's actual ability to help his or her students grow academically during the school year… 34

Q6: Explain why observation of teachers in action is an unreliable form of assessment. Key concepts for Q6: "infrequency" and "subjectivity“ 2 分:兩點皆有提到 1 分: Classroom observations are not held regularly enough to manifest the true situation. ( 只回答一點 ) 0 分: Classroom observation of teachers is not objective since it is not a regular assessing activity. ( 解讀錯誤 ) 36
應試要訣 要用自己的話回答 練習 paraphrase 回答完整 例如前面例題中,文章提到 “ infrequency ” 與 “ subjectivity ” 兩個原因,少一點就會扣分 3. 注意 sign posts (連接詞、副詞、語意轉折) 事件的先後順序 因果關係 例子 37
Part II Summary 填空例題 38
Decades ago, large numbers of jobs in North American, European, and Australian cities were provided by heavy industries such as machinery manufacturing and steel production. The last fifty years, however, have seen a gradual exodus of these heavy industries to less-developed parts of the world. As a result, once-prosperous cities like Detroit in the U.S. and Liverpool in the UK have lost jobs and people. The departure of heavy industries has also left behind empty lots and factories, which today still cover parts of these communities. Summary In recent decades, a visible sign of deterioration in large metropolitan areas has been growing amount of idle real estate which they contain. In many cases, this exists because the activities that took place there years ago have __15__. 39
