(C) In other words, energy is neither created nor destroyed— it only changes form

(D) However, this process of a selective final resting place for the deceased was
often only reserved for royalty.
(E) Therefore, when a burial ground is not properly selected, it can have potentially
negative or positive effects on the living family of the deceased.
IV. 篇章測驗 (2%*10=10%)
Feng shui was originally used in the selection of burial grounds. This is true not only in
Asian countries, but all over the world as archeological evidence reveals elaborate tombs and
temples for the deceased.

V. 閱讀測驗 (2%*10=10%)
In many cultures, it is believed that there is an afterlife
and for revered leaders, their well-being in the afterlife will affect the lineage of their progeny
and welfare of the common mass.
Why is it important to have a burial ground in a positive feng shui environment? As we all
know, there is an undeniable connection between parent and child. A child is made of his/her
parents’ blood, flesh and DNA. This similar frequency or energy is the bond between parent and
child.
57
Just as we are affected by our environment when we are living, so does the
environment of our final resting place similarly affect us. After people die, the earth’s magnetic
frequencies continue to affect their bones’ energy.

In 2006, Carl and Kathy Hennige of Folsom, California e-mailed their local newspaper to
report some strange weather. It was raining fish.
Although it may sound like some sort of mythical event, the Henniges weren’t telling tales.
Neither were people in Manna, India, who reported seeing live, pencil-sized fish falling from the
sky. It can happen, say scientists. The culprit: waterspouts.
Waterspouts form when cold air moves over warm water. They churn at speeds up to 200
miles an hour, but dissipate when rain begins to fall from their host cloud. Depending on how
fast the winds are whipping, anything that is within about one yard of the surface of the water,
Depending on the different orientation and mountain configuration or land contour of a
including sailboats or small objects like fish of different sizes, can be lifted into the air, according
to Nilton Renno, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Michigan.
3
A waterspout can sometimes successfully suck fish out of the water all the way up into
the cloud. Even if the waterspout stops spinning, the fish in the cloud can be carried over land,
64. Which of the following statements is true?
(A) It is still possible for people to experience raining fish in places fifty or sixty miles away
buffeted up and down and around with the cloud’s winds until its currents no longer keep the
flying fish in the atmosphere. It’s like the fish are swimming in the cloud. People as far as 100
miles inland can even experience raining fish. Depending on how far they travel and how high
they are taken into the atmosphere, the fish are sometimes dead by the time they rain down.
In the early 1900s, Charles Fort, a collector of stories of odd weather happenings,
theorized that there was an ocean orbiting the earth that occasionally dropped its creatures
onto the planet. Now that scientists have advanced technology like Doppler radar, they are less
from the coast.
(B) Today people are less likely to report any strange occurrences because they more or
less rely on personal accounts.
(C) The strange weather phenomenon reported by the Henniges to their local newspaper
never really happened.
(D) Waterspouts dissipate when various objects within about one yard of the surface of the
water start to be lifted into the air.
reliant on personal accounts. Also, people are less likely to report any strange occurrences now
than they were 100 years ago. Today, logical explanations through science are more readily
available, so there is less mysticism behind strange weather phenomena.
Still, keep an eye out, because next time the clouds open up, it may be more than
raindrops that keep falling on your head.
65. What is the author’s tone like in this passage?
(A) Ironic and critical.
(B) Bitter and sarcastic.
(C) Alarmed and pessimistic.
(D) Descriptive and informative.
61. What is the main purpose of this passage?
(A) To calculate the likelihood of objects being lifted into the cloud by waterspouts.
