Ⅱ. Cloze
It took two cases of covid-19 to plunge Perth, the capital of Western Australia, into lockdown on 
April 24th
. The state government announced a three-day “circuit-breaker” just as locals were gearing up for a long weekend. “We can’t take any chance,” declared the premier, Mark McGowan.Australian states keep ordering snap lockdowns because they are nervous about more 16 strains of covid-19. Some of the world’s strictest border controls have generally held the virus at bay. Most foreigners are barred from entering the country, and returning citizens must quarantine for two weeks in guarded hotels. When a case of the virus 17 , state premiers throw up defenses.A single infected quarantine guard closed Perth for five days in February. The state of Victoria, home to 6.7m Australians, went into a short lockdown after a cluster of 13 cases leaked from a hotel in Melbourne. Brisbane, capital of Queensland, has been shut down twice since January. And that is just this year.
 

  The latest breach in Perth started with a man who fell ill after his isolation had ended. He caught the virus in quarantine, from an infected traveler in another room, 18 fears about airborne transmission within hotels. State leaders are hollering for an even tougher system. Most quarantine hotels are in big cities, so one idea is to send travelers to better- 19 sites in quieter spots. Mr McGowan wants the federal government to use air bases or a detention center on Christmas Island, an Australian territory in the Indian Ocean. Queensland hopes to build a quarantine facility in the small city of Toowoomba. Victoria 20 a “village-style environment” outside Melbourne.Another suggestion is to clamp down even harder on travel. Border controls ban residents from leaving 21 outsiders from coming in. Aussies can escape only for a handful of reasons, such as a family funeral. Mr McGowan, however, thinks they are swanning off too easily. “If people want to go overseas to covid-infected countries in the middle of a pandemic, then why should they come home and risk the rest of us?” he asks.
 

  The federal government, 22 , is asking for a sense of proportion. The quarantine hotels are “99.99% effective,” says the prime minister, Scott Morrison. Half a million people have passed through 
them, notes the health minister, Gret Hunt. He calls it “one of, if not the, most successful systems in the world.”
 

  But voters back to fiercest isolationists. Mr McGowan declared Western Australia “an island within an island” when the pandemic started, and cut it off from the rest of the continent for most of last year. He is so popular that his opponent 23 a recent state election weeks before the first vote was cast. Annastacia Palaszczuk, a strict guardian of Queensland’s borders, won a third term in October.So when will Australia reopen to the rest of the world? The federal government has planned to  24 the adult population of 20m by October, but the roll-out is months behind schedule. Even when everyone is fully 25 , officials say that travelers may still need some form of quarantine. A poll in February found that 71% of Aussies want to keep the international border closed until the “public health crisis has passed.” On that basis, they will be cut off for some time.
 16. (A) slinky (B) contagious (C) feeble (D) ponderous
 17. (A) slips through (B) fades away (C) wades through (D) rattles away
 18. (A) rising (B) risen (C) raising (D) raised

 20. (A) envisages (B) insinuates (C) solaces (D) obviates
 21. (A) as well as (B) in spite of (C) according to (D) owing to
 22. (A) once in a while (B) for its part (C) ex gratia (D) out of the blue
 23. (A) receded (B) preceded (C) conceded (D) ceded
 24. (A) terminate (B) precipitate (C) oscillate (D) vaccinate

The uniqueness of a work of art is inseparable from its being imbedded in the fabric of tradition. This tradition itself is thoroughly alive and extremely changeable. An ancient statue of Venus, for 
example, stood in a different traditional context with the Greeks, who made it an object of veneration, than with the clerics of the Middle Ages, who viewed it as an (26) idol. Both of them, (27) , were equally confronted with its uniqueness, that is, its aura. Originally the contextual integration of art in tradition found its expression in the cult. We know that the earliest art works originated in the service of aritual—first the magical, then the religious kind. It is significant that the existence of the work of art with (28) to its aura is never entirely separated from its ritual function. (29), the unique value of the “authentic” work of art has its basis in ritual, the location of its original use value. This ritualistic basis, however remote, is still recognizable as secularized ritual even in the most profane forms of the cult of beauty. The secular cult of beauty, developed during the Renaissance and (30) for three centuries, clearly showed that ritualistic basis in its decline and the first deep crisis which befell it. With the (31)of the first truly revolutionary means of reproduction, photography, simultaneously with the rise of socialism, art sensed the approaching crisis which has become evident a century later. At the time, art reacted with the (32) of l’art pour l’art, that is, with a theology of art. This gave rise to what might be called a negative theology in the form of the idea of “pure” art, which not only denied any social function of art but also any categorizing by subject matter.
 

An analysis of art in the age of mechanical reproduction must do justice to these relationships, for they lead us to an all-important insight: for the first time in world history, mechanical reproduction (33) the work of art from its parasitical dependence on ritual. To an ever greater degree the work of art reproduced becomes the work of art designed for reproducibility. From a photographic negative, for example, one can make any number of prints; to ask for the “authentic” print makes no sense. But the (34) the criterion of authenticity (35) applicable to artistic production, the total function of art is reversed. Instead of being based on ritual, it begins to be based on another practice—politics. 

 

Ⅳ. Discourse
  Like most of its Western counterparts, Taiwan’s long and arduous road to marriage equality begins at fundamental respect for human rights.(36) However, the bill faced massive opposition from members of both the Cabinet (or the Executive Yuan Council, formed by the ruling Democratic Progressive Party) and the Legislative Yuan (controlled by the Kuomintang-led, pan-Blue coalition).
 

  While efforts from the grassroots to the top levels have been made through the years, it was in 2016 when proponents saw victory inching closer. The general election resulted in a parliamentary majority for the Democratic Progressive Party — with most members now in favor of same-sex marriage.
 

(37)In June, a legislator and several civic groups urged the government to work harder toward achieving such equality in schools, at an event marking the 15th anniversary of a law that raises gender awareness among students and protects the rights of young people regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation.
 

(38) Yeh Yung-Chih, whose body was found in a pool of blood, was bullied at school for being “effeminate.” Yeh’s death prompted Taiwan’s Ministry of Education to modify its Gender Equality Education Committee— literally “the committee of equality education of two sexes” — into the broader Gender Equity Education Committee to promote gender education beyond the two sexes.(39) It states that the “school shall provide a gender-fair learning environment, respect and give due consideration to students, faculty, and staff with a different gender, gender temperament, gender identity, and sexual orientation.”
 

  In 2006, the Kaohsiung branch of Taiwan’s High Court sentenced the school’s principal and two other officials to five months, four months and three months, respectively, in prison for “neglecting the degree of care required by their occupation.” (40)
 

  Since then, tributes to the fallen teenager have referred to him as the “Rose Boy,” in the representation of boys with feminine expressions. The results of the 2004 law have also been visible in the island’s education system, particularly with the establishment of unisex bathrooms that “foster respect and equality between the sexes.”
 

(A) By legalizing same-sex marriage, Taiwan may have become the most progressive place in Asia, but its struggle for gender equality persists.
 

(B) Then came the Gender Equity Education Act.
 

(C) In the same year, the Taiwan Gender Equity Education Association published a book in memory of Yeh, titled “Embracing the Rose Boy.”
 

(D) As early as 2003, its Executive Yuan proposed legislation granting marriages to same-sex couples under the Human Rights Basic Law.
 

(E) That law is the Gender Equity Education Act, passed in 2004 in response to the controversial death of a junior high school student three years earlier.
 

第二部分：綜合題（共60分）
I. Translation（每小題 10 分，共 20 分）
1.你曾聽說過「黃金法則」嗎？基本上，這個法則就是：想要其他人怎樣待你，就應該怎樣待人。在基督教、佛教和儒教等許多文化和宗教中，都能發現有些許差異的黃金法則。 但是，如果黃金法則是如此廣為流傳且眾所周知，那為什麼還是有些人對他人不友善呢？根據專家的說法，世上有一小部分的人其實很樂於傷害他人。這些人被稱為「虐待狂」，他們以惡劣待人為樂。有些虐待狂可能喜愛看恐怖電影，還喜歡旁觀或甚至與人打架。現今的虐待狂實例包括了喜歡欺負他人的校園霸凌者，以及喜愛在線上寫下惡意留言的網路酸民。
 

2.每年，臺灣使用十億個塑膠水瓶。那個令人震驚的統計數據激發了一位技術開發人員創建了一支應用程式，讓你在外移動時可輕鬆找到免費裝填水瓶的地方。在以往，臺灣許多咖啡館都免費提供水，即使是現在，如果你知道去哪裡找，有很多地方可以免費裝水。該應用程式提供使用者一個所有那些位置的地圖，以及他們需要知道的所有訊息，關於每個地點在哪裡及提供什麼。系統中甚至藏有一些彩蛋，使這個體驗既有趣又有益於地球。
