• 12．Yesterday，I drove my 23-year-old daughter to the nearby counseling center，to attempt once again to complete the treatment.I did my best to encourage and give her inspiring support as she was feeling anxious of the whole process.
     While we were waiting，just minutes before the center opened their door，a young girl of the same age as my daughter，came in.She had a beautiful smile I remember，and spoke of her desire to make a difference for others like my daughter from all she learned through her past drug abuse.I felt that she was sincere in her desire.It had been two weeks since her stopping the use of drugs.
     My daughter was standing next to me and focused on doing her best to stay calm on the outside，while inside she was feeling quite anxious，so she barely noticed what this girl was saying.Yet，she did manage to open up and talk with her a bit about the noisy ceiling fan in the hall where we were waiting.
     Next Friday，it will be a new opportunity for my daughter to try once again，as well as the possibility of being there for this young girl，too.I continue the example of self-love for my daughter，strengthening this skill，while encouraging my daughter's positive changes.
     I noticed yesterday，my daughter called her friends，"I am a strong woman！" This made me smile，as a sudden gift to me from when I had been speaking to her enthusiastically about how we are strong women，trying our best，and we overcome and win through our life challenges.Let her know I believe in her.While she was focused on the physical，in that moment，I think she was likely feeling strength in all ways，too.I hope so.

• 13．The forest of today will not be the forests of tomorrow.Rising temperatures，trees being cut down，development and climate-change-caused disasters are changing the very makeup of the Earth's forests，new research published in Science finds.
     Older，bigger trees are being lost at an alarming rate，making the planet's forests shorter and younger.The change is being driven at different rates by different causes in different places，the study's authors say，but the consequences will be global.
     Old growth forests absorb and store massive amounts of climate-warming CO₂.They provide habitats for rare and endangered species and promote rich biodiversity.Researchers found that the world lost roughly one-third of its old growth forests between 1900 and 2015.In North America and Europe，they found that tree mortality（死亡率） has doubled in the past 40 years.
     "Warming temperatures，wildfires，logging and insect outbreaks were among the many causes of the decline，" says Nate McDowell，the study's lead author. "What's perhaps more concerning is that the trajectory（發展軌跡） of all these disturbances is generally increasing over time and is expected to continue increasing in the future." he says.
     McDowell's focus is on how trees are affected by rising temperatures，arguably the biggest driver of forest change.To get a broader understanding of how forests are changing globally，he brought in more than 20 other researchers in different fields.Together，they examined more than 160 previous studies about tree mortality and its global causes，applying current satellite data and modeling to create a look at the Earth's changing forests to date.
     "It's not a shock，but it's very sad，" says Kristina，an ecologist and leader of the ForestGEO Ecosystems &Climate Program who helped with the research. "We as a human society are hitting these forests so rapidly with so many different changes that they can't keep up." she says.
  
  （1）What can we know from the figures in the paragraph 3？

  
  A．More trees should be planted in no time.
  B．We are losing old growth forests quickly.
  C．Forests are important habitats for wildlife.
  D．Different trees can absorb CO₂ differently.
  （2）What can we say about McDowell's research？

  
  A．Timely and long-standing.
  B．All-sided and careful.
  C．Time-limited and regional.
  D．Traditional and extensive.
  （3）What's Kristina's attitude towards the findings of the research？

  
  A．Worried.
  B．Optimistic.
  C．Supportive.
  D．Indifferent.
  （4）What's the writer's purpose of writing the passage？

  
  A．To call on people to plant more trees.
  B．To discuss the influence of climate change.
  C．To warn against the loss of old growth forests.
  D．To compare forests of today with those of the future.

• 14．Travelling to watch their team play at the World Cup took a little longer than usual for two French fans.Mehdi Balamissa and Gabriel Martin decided the best way to travel from France to Qatar was on two wheels.The friends spent three months travelling 7，000 kilometers by bicycle to reach Qatar 2022 and watch their beloved France defend its title.
     "It was a crazy idea，but we're the kind of people that have big ideas and don't want to have any regrets，" Balamissa said，as both spoke to CNN Sport a day after arriving in the country. "So，since we are both self-employed，we decided to block off three months of our time and come to Qatar."
     The pair started their mammoth （龐大的） journey at the Stade de France in Paris，home of the French national team，and finished at the stunning Lusail Stadium，the venue that would host the final at Qatar 2022.They would travel on average 115 kilometers per day，taking appropriate rest days when needed.They battled through the heat of the desert in Saudi Arabia as well as flooded woodland areas in Hungary as they made their winding way to Qatar，stopping off at campsites，lodges （鄉間小舍） and hotels to sleep.
     The idea came about after cycling from France to Italy to watch their country play in the UEFA Nations League last year and they wanted to test themselves with a much longer trip.They hoped their trip would promote the benefits of sustainable travel and said they planned to offer cycling workshops to children from disadvantaged backgrounds when they eventually arrived home.
     The two cyclists encountered many problems along the way，including dozens of flat tires，but relied on their infectiously positive attitude to get them through.The pair laugh as they recall the time they had to travel 15 hours to Riyadh，Saudi Arabia，in order to find a bike repair shop before travelling 15 hours back to the exact point where they had stopped.
     "We had many troubles，but we fixed them as we went，" Martin told CNN.
  
  （1）Why did Balamissa and Martin go to Qatar？

  
  A．To achieve their big ideas.
  B．To set them apart from the other fans.
  C．To close off three months for no regrets.
  D．To watch their country defending its champion.
  （2）What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the two fans？

  
  A．Their travelling plan.
  B．Their severe challenges.
  C．The schedule about their journey.
  D．The scenery along their journey.
  （3）What's the purpose of the two fans，cycling trip？

  
  A．To explore the secrets and laws of nature.
  B．To raise people's awareness of eco-tourism.
  C．To benefit more from the cycling workshops.
  D．To be involved in the UEFA Nations League.
  （4）What can we learn from Balamissa and Martin's story？

  
  A．Attitude is everything.
  B．Life lies in sports.
  C．Life needs a slow pace.
  D．Man should be at one with nature.

第二節（共1小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分）閱讀下面短文，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項，選項中有兩項為多余選項。

• 15．Paper is one of our oldest，simplest and most important inventions.But it also presents a danger to the world in two significant ways.
     First，the making of paper requires the loss of millions of trees each year.Between 2001 and 2019，the world lost 386 million hectares of forest.（1）

  And worldwide use of paper is expected to double in the next 40 years.Clearly，the planet cannot sustain such a high rate of forest loss.The second great problem with paper is what happens once it is no longer useful.A huge quantity of wastepaper ends up in dumps and landfills，where it can produce harmful gases.（2）

  
     One simple solution can greatly reduce both of these problems：paper recycling.Paper is mainly made from cellulose（纖維素），which makes up the cell walls of trees and many other plants.（3）

  So far，trees are the only source of cellulose that can fill the massive demand for paper products.Therefore，recycling paper is simply one of the best ways to save trees.
     （4）

  It now can offer the same print performance as non- recycled paper.
     Effective recycling requires a consistent effort.（5）

  Once enough people realize the need for recycling，more effective recycling systems can be carried out.The massive loss of trees affects everybody on earth.Everyone should do their part to recycle paper and encourage government and industries to do the same.
  
  A.The way to begin is with education and understanding.
  B.Paper-recycling produces cellulose to make more paper.
  C.Harmful paper in landfills results in global climate change.
  D.Of the trees that were cut down，42%went to paper production.
  E.Because of its structure，cellulose can be used repeatedly in papermaking.
  F.The gas released is called methane which is a significant contributor in global warming.
  G.Thanks to advances in processing，recycled paper isn't the dull-colored stuff we are familiar with any more.

      During this past year，I've had three instances of car trouble.Each time these things happened，I was sick of the way most people hadn't bothered to help.One of those times，I was on the side of the road for close to three hours with my big Jeep.I put signs in the windows，big signs that said NEED A JACK（千斤頂），and offered money.Nothing.Right as I was about to give up，a Mexican family in a small truck pulled over，and the father bounded out.
      He sized up the situation and called for his daughter，who spoke English.He conveyed through her that he had a jack but that it was too small for the Jeep，so we would need something to support it.Then he got a saw（鋸子）from the truck and cut a section out of a big log on the side of the road.We rolled it over and put his jack on top，and we were in business.
      I started taking the wheel off，and then，if you can believe it，I broke his tire iron.No worries：He handed it to his wife，and she was gone in a flash down the road to buy a new tire iron.She was back in 15 minutes.We finished the job，and I was a very happy man.
      The two of us were dirty and sweaty.His wife prepared a pot of water for us to wash our hands.I tried to put a ￥20 bill in the man's hand，but he wouldn't take it，so instead I went up to the truck and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could.I asked the little girl where they lived.Mexico，she said.They were in Oregon so Mommy and Daddy could work on a fruit farm for the next few weeks.Then they would go home.
