1. A recent report by a United Nations organization estimates that about half of the 7,000
local dialects in the world today are in danger of being lost. __1__
The official language in Taiwan is Mandarin, which replaced Japanese when the Republic of
China’s government retreated from China to Taiwan in 1949. __2__ As Taiwan became more
democratic in the 1980s and 90s, the government eased up on these language restrictions and local
dialects began to be spoken in public again.
Now, although it is possible to hear local dialects in songs, movies, and TV shows, some
believe that these local dialects are in danger, since many young people are not learning how to
speak them. __3__ Besides, most fluent Hakka speakers are over the age of fifty.
Therefore, some believe that schools in Taiwan should actively promote Taiwan’s local
dialects. __4__ Many also believe that more reference books and dictionaries, especially for the
aboriginal dialects, are needed.
With the help of the government and the efforts of Taiwan’s people, Taiwan’s local dialects
may not only survive but also continue to exist for a long time.
(A) They say that the teaching of local dialects should begin in kindergarten and continue through

12 / 21
high school.
(B) The government promoted Mandarin and suppressed local dialects.
(C) For example, the population of Hakka speakers declines by about 5 percent each year.
(D) In Taiwan, some believe that the local Taiwanese, Hakka, and aboriginal dialects are all under a
similar threat.
(1) _______ (2) _______ (3) _______ (4) _______
2. Rising nearly 1000 feet above the desert and measuring five miles around, Ayers Rock in the
Northern Territory of Australia is the world’s largest single rock. __1__ It was “discovered” in 1873
by a European explorer. Over the next hundred years, the rock became a popular tourist attraction.
Visitors happily tramped over its paths, making their way up to the summit to take in the view.
However, few people paid attention to the Aboriginal people who lived near the rock.
__2__ It is their most sacred site, a place of gods and ghosts. It is believed to be the very center
of the world’s energy, where many god-like beings lived in the “dreamtime,” the time of Earth’s
creation. __3__ Many patterns on the rock have special significance, such as being the actual body
parts or weapons of supernatural creatures, frozen in time when the creation age ended.
Recognizing the importance of the site to the Aborigines, in 1985, the Australian government
made them the legal owners of the rock. __4__ Out of respect for their ancestors, the Aborigines
don’t climb to the top of the rock, and they prefer tourists not to do so. Although many tourists
ignore their wishes and climb the rock, more and more people are treating the site with more
respect, coming there to wonder at this mysterious place. They enjoy the myths and culture of the
traditional guardians of this magic rock.
(A) Aborigines have preserved ancient cave paintings there, describing myths from the dreamtime.
(B) It contains some minerals which cause it to magically change colors, from deep blue to glowing
red, according to the time of day.
(C) The Aborigines call the rock Uluru and it has a central place in their mythology.
(D) The Aborigines themselves now manage it as a National Park, maintained by tourism and
government grants.
(1) _______ (2) _______ (3) _______ (4) _______
3. More than 100 species of animals in Australia are in danger of becoming extinct because of
the devastating bushfires that swept the country in 2019 and 2020. Many of these animals are very
rare. __1__ More than one billion animals have died. Many more may die because their habitats
have been destroyed.
Pictures of koalas and kangaroos trapped in burning forests dominated social media during the
crisis. __2__ Insects that provide a major food source for Australian animals were entirely wiped
out by the fires. In an attempt to aid the surviving animals, the government dropped vegetables from
helicopters for them to eat once the fires were out. __3__ Their habitats will need to be rebuilt. In
some cases, animals will need to be captured and bred to make sure their species do not die off.
While Australia’s forests and wildlife have experienced bush fires for decades, the extent of this
one was much greater. __4__ Australia will need to address this issue by taking steps to preserve its
unique animal population.
13 / 21
(A) But many other plants and animals that are equally important to the ecosystem were also
affected.
(B) Climate change is creating conditions that indicate more fires similar to this one will happen in
the future.
(C) It is probable that a small animal called the dunnart that only lives in Australia may be gone
forever.

in the wild.

statements.
Statements based on Chart A above Check off (V)

Aboriginal peoples in North America, New Zealand and Australia live up to 70 years.

2. There are many things in history that, when we look back, seem beyond belief. Such

15 / 21
examples can be seen in Australia and North America.
In Australia, during 1920s and 1970s, mostly aboriginal children were separated from their
family and put into settlements that were like prison camps. The children were called “The Stolen
Generations.” The reason for this unfair policy was to preserve the Western culture of the
colonizers. However, it has done permanent harm to the Stolen Generations.
In the United States, a similar policy was in place from 1790 to 1920. During that time, Native
Americans were torn apart from their culture. They were expected to take on European-American
practices instead. Children were placed in boarding schools where they were forced to speak
English, wear Western clothing, and give up their native religions.
While it is difficult to understand how much these children suffered, these dark times in history
need to be realized and studied. Colonizers look upon native peoples as not civilized because of
their traditional practices and ways of life.
Nevertheless, there are instances that still happen today. In modern Europe, waves of immigrants
from the Middle East have resulted in people viewing these refugees as inferior humans. This has
caused governments to make displaying religious symbols against the law, such as the Muslim
headscarf known as the burka. While not as terrible as family separation policies, it is nevertheless
an example of one culture forcing another culture to follow rules.
History has shown us these sad events, and we must try not to repeat them. As we move forward,
we must remind ourselves that all cultures deserve our respect, no matter how different they are
from our own.

3. Before 1970, Australian law made it difficult for non-white, non-Europeans to immigrate.
Australia’s first signs of hesitation to welcome foreign settlers can be traced back to the 1850s when
many Chinese went to Australia to take part in the gold rush. Twenty years later, Pacific Islanders,
people from the Oceanic regions of Polynesia, Melanesia, and Micronesia, came to work in the
sugar industry. Both of these waves of Asian immigration led to social conflict, and immigrants
16 / 21
were regarded as a source of problems. However, white immigrants were welcome.
This reluctance to welcome foreigners was followed by rules to keep them out. The first was the
Immigration Restriction Act of 1901. Laws were based on both racial and economic factors, but
they showed a clear preference for Europeans. Asians were not welcome, especially during World
War II. Until the 1960s, most Australian leaders supported this policy. In the 1970s, the situation
began to change. Gradually the immigration laws were relaxed and greater equality was established.
Finally in 1975, the Racial Discrimination Act was passed. According to this law, rejecting
immigrants merely due to race is illegal.
Today, Australia is still made up largely of British and Irish descendants (後裔). However, the
racial and ethnic mix of people has improved a great deal since the changes of the 1970s and the
cultural diversity of the community continues to grow.
( 1 ) ( ) According to the passage, when did Australians start to be more open-minded to a
multicultural society?
(A) In the 1850s. (B) In the 1870s. (C) In the 1960s. (D) In the 1970s.
( 2 ) ( ) What is the author’s tone in the last paragraph?
(A) Confused. (B) Depressed. (C) Angry. (D) Positive.
( 3 ) ( ) According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
(A) The Racial Discrimination Act was not successful.
(B) Asian immigration to Australia was not welcome during WWI.
(C) Today, Australia is mainly composed of white and black.
(D) The Immigration Restriction Act limited non-white immigration to Australia.
( 4 ) ( ) What does “these waves of Asian immigration” in the first paragraph refer to?
