3.學術閱讀 (Read an Academic Passage)
- 題目主題：太空學 (Twin stars / 雙子星)
- 參考模擬題：
Binary Star Systems
In the vastness of the universe, single stars like our Sun are actually less common than one might expect. Most stars exist in binary systems, often referred to simply as “twin stars.” A binary star system consists of two stars orbiting around a common center of mass, bound together by their mutual gravitational attraction. These systems are crucial for astronomers because observing the orbital interaction between the two stars allows for the precise calculation of their masses, a measurement that is exceedingly difficult for isolated stars. Binary stars can vary greatly; in some systems, the stars are so far apart that their gravitational effect on each other is minimal, taking thousands of years to complete a single orbit. In contrast, “close binaries” revolve around each other in a matter of days and can even transfer mass from one star to another, dramatically altering their evolutionary paths and potentially leading to spectacular stellar explosions known as supernovae. - Question: According to the passage, why are binary star systems important to astronomers?
A. They are the only systems capable of producing supernovae.
B. They provide an easy way to observe single stars like the Sun.
C. They allow scientists to accurately determine the mass of the stars.
D. They prove that stars always orbit very close to one another. - Answer Key： C
- 作答策略： 閱讀學術短文時，著重尋找「因果關係 (because, leads to)」與「功能解釋 (crucial for, allows for)」，這些通常是命題核心。
聽力測驗重點 (Listening)
1.選擇最佳回答 (Listen and Choose a Response)
- 參考模擬題：
(Test takers hear:)
Man: Do you know if Professor Smith has already uploaded the study guide for tomorrow’s exam? (Choose the best response.)
A. Yes, I need to study for the math test too.
B. Actually, she said she’ll post it tonight.
C. The library is closed on weekends.
D. I think the professor is in her office right now. - Answer Key：B
- 作答策略：仔細聆聽問句開頭的助動詞或疑問詞，並判斷語境。此題詢問「是否已上傳 (has already uploaded)」，最適切的社交回應是給予時間狀態的更新 (she’ll post it tonight)。
2.聆聽對話 (Listen to a Conversation)
- 題目主題：演唱會座位與購票討論（前排需買票，後排不需，邀約並提議帶毯子）。
- 參考模擬題：
(Test takers hear:)
Woman: Hey Mark, there’s a jazz concert on the campus lawn this Friday. Do you want to go with me?
Man: Sounds fun, but I’m a bit broke right now. How much are the tickets?
Woman: That’s the best part! You only need to buy a ticket if you want to sit in the first few rows. The entire back section of the lawn is completely free. We can just bring a blanket and sit on the grass.
Man: Oh, perfect! Let’s definitely do that then. - Question: What are the speakers planning to do on Friday?
A. Purchase expensive tickets for the front row.
B. Attend a jazz concert for free by sitting in the back.
C. Perform together at a campus music festival.
D. Buy a new blanket from the campus store. - Answer Key & 作答策略： B。仔細聽取對話中解決問題的方案（Problem-Solution）。女生提出了免花錢的替代方案（The back section is free + bring a blanket），這是對話的轉折重點。
3.聆聽宣告 (Listen to an Announcement)
- 題目主題：設施維護公告（包含健身房、SPA，且瑜珈課下午未開放）。
- 參考模擬題：
(Test takers hear:)
Narrator: Listen to an announcement at a recreation center.
Man: Attention all members. Due to emergency plumbing repairs, the hot tub and spa area will be closed for the remainder of the day. The main gym floor remains open. However, please note that the 3:00 PM afternoon yoga class has been canceled because the studio is undergoing maintenance. We apologize for any inconvenience. - Question: What is one consequence of the maintenance work?
A. The main gym floor is closed to all members.
B. The recreation center is closing early today.
C. The afternoon yoga class will not be held.
D. The plumbing repairs will take a week to finish. - Answer Key & 作答策略： C。校園廣播題資訊密度高，務必留意「地點/活動」搭配「狀態改變 (canceled, closed, open)」，不要被其他未受影響的設施（如 main gym floor）干擾。
4.聆聽學術演講 (Listen to an Academic Talk)
- 題目主題：心理學 (Emotional Contagion / 情緒傳染)
- 參考模擬題：
(Test takers hear:)
Narrator: Listen to a talk in a psychology class.
Professor: Today we’re going to talk about a phenomenon called “emotional contagion.” Simply put, it’s the idea that emotions can actually be contagious, much like a cold. When we interact with others, we unconsciously mimic their facial expressions, vocal tones, and postures. This mimicry triggers the corresponding emotion in our own brains. For example, think about a workplace setting. If the team leader comes into the office in a highly positive, energetic mood, you’ll often notice that within an hour, the rest of the team also becomes more upbeat and productive. Conversely, a stressed or angry manager can quickly spread tension throughout the entire office. This unconscious transfer of feelings is vital for social cohesion and empathy among humans. - What example does the professor use to illustrate emotional contagion? A.
A doctor treating patients with a common cold.
B. A leader’s mood affecting the rest of the office staff.
C. A student mimicking a teacher’s facial expressions.
D. A group of friends sharing a stressful experience. - Answer Key & 作答策略： B。聽到 “For example” 或 “Think about…” 時，需立即集中注意力，考點通常在於「例子」如何呼應前面提到的「學術概念」。

1.句子重組 (Build a Sentence)
- 參考模擬題：
Make an appropriate sentence.
When are we supposed to submit the final draft?
The / professor / Friday / told / that / is / us / it / due - Answer Key & 作答策略： The professor told us that it is due Friday. 先找出主詞與動詞 (The professor told us)，再接出 that 子句 (that it is due Friday) 確保文法邏輯通順。

Subject: Table Reservation for Graduation Dinner
Dear Manager,
I am writing to request a table reservation for a group of six people on Saturday, May 20th, at 7:30 PM.
We are celebrating my sister’s college graduation, so we are hoping to make it a memorable evening. Since it is a special occasion, could you please let me know if it is possible to reserve a table by the window? Additionally, I would like to inquire if you offer any vegetarian or gluten-free options on your dinner menu, as two of our guests have dietary restrictions.Thank you in advance for your assistance. I look forward to your confirmation.
Best regards,
[Your Name] - 作答策略： 限時 7 分鐘，首段直接切入預訂細節（時間、人數），次段補充特殊需求與提問。使用 “Could you please let me know…” 等禮貌句型能大幅提升語氣專業度。
3.學術討論寫作 (Write for an Academic Discussion)
- 題目主題：環政府是否應該要干預經濟 (Government intervention in the economy)
- 參考模擬題：
[Professor] In macroeconomics, there is a long-standing debate regarding government involvement in the free market. Some economists argue that the government should actively intervene in the economy to prevent monopolies and protect consumers, while others believe that the free market should be left alone to regulate itself. Should the government actively intervene in the economy? Why or why not?
[Student A (Michael)] I believe the government must intervene. Without strict regulations, large corporations could easily monopolize industries, driving smaller businesses out and raising prices for consumers. Government policies protect fairness.
[Student B (Jessica)] I completely disagree. Government intervention often leads to inefficiency and excessive bureaucracy. The free market is naturally guided by supply and demand, which drives innovation and keeps prices competitive without the need for strict rules. - 高分範文：
While I understand Jessica’s argument that free markets encourage innovation through supply and demand, I strongly agree with Michael that government intervention is essential to maintain economic stability and fairness.
If the economy is left entirely to its own devices, large corporations inevitably consolidate power, resulting in monopolies that harm everyday consumers. For instance, in the pharmaceutical or energy sectors, lack of government price caps could allow companies to charge unreasonable rates for essential goods, directly threatening public welfare. Furthermore, during times of severe economic crisis or recession, government intervention—such as stimulus packages or bailouts—is often the only mechanism capable of preventing total market collapse.
Therefore, while excessive bureaucracy should certainly be avoided, a reasonable level of government regulation is absolutely necessary to protect smaller businesses, ensure fair competition, and safeguard the interests of the general public. - 作答策略：字數需達 100 字以上。務必先表態並提及同學名字製造互動感。核心論述段落必須提出「具體產業例子（如醫藥、能源）或情境（如經濟衰退）」來充實論點，切忌空泛論述。
口說測驗重點 (Speaking)
1.複誦 (Listen and Repeat)
- 題目主題：運動場地的地圖導覽 (Map of sports facilities)
- 參考模擬題：
- Welcome to the campus recreation center.
- The basketball courts are located on your left.
- You must wear indoor sports shoes to enter the courts.
- Table tennis paddles and balls can be rented at the front desk.
- The swimming pool is currently closed for weekly cleaning.
- For those wanting to take fitness classes, the schedule is posted online.
- A detailed map of all the training zones is available near the entrance.
- 作答策略：聽到錄音後立刻以「語調群 (thought groups)」為單位複誦，不要在腦中翻譯。即便中途有單字發音不確定，也要保持語流順暢，不要停頓自我糾正。
2.訪談 (Take an Interview)
- 題目主題：社群媒體 (Social media)
- 參考模擬題：
(You will have a short online interview with a researcher. You have 45 seconds to answer each question.)
Interviewer: Thank you for taking the time to speak with me. First, how often do you use social media platforms in your daily life?
Interviewer: How do you typically manage the time you spend on social media? Interviewer: When you log into social media, what are the primary things you use it for? Interviewer: Some people argue that social media is highly beneficial, while others see it as a negative influence. Do you think social media has more advantages or disadvantages? Why? - 高分回應 (針對最後一題)：
Um… I believe that social media actually has more disadvantages than advantages, mostly because of how it affects mental health. Like, while it’s great for staying connected with friends, people constantly compare their behind-the-scenes lives to everyone else’s highlight reels. Uh, this often leads to feeling inadequate or anxious. For instance, I’ve noticed that when I spend too much time scrolling through perfect vacation photos on Instagram, I feel stressed about my own life. Plus, it’s a huge distraction when you’re trying to study. So, yeah, despite the connectivity, I think the negative psychological impacts outweigh the benefits. - 作答策略：面試題時間為 45 秒。建議採取「直接回答 (5秒) + 詳細舉例 (30秒) + 總結 (10秒)」的節奏。適當加入 “Um”, “Like”, “Uh” 等自然語氣詞，有助於讓回答聽起來更流暢且具口語對話感。
