When the Treasury sold gold, the gold was frequently moved by armored car from the United States Assay Office in New York on the East River five blocks to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on Liberty Street. The Federal Reserve vault is 50 feet below sea level and 76 feet below street level. Many foreign countries store some of their gold in this vault at the New York Federal Reserve Bank. Each working day, gold bars are wheeled between the various countries’ storage compartments, on instructions for international payments, rather than the countries incurring expensive shipping and insurance charges from transporting the gold between countries. It is a weird and fascinating sight if one understands the implications. Men far underground, with steel covers over their shoes (to prevent injury if one of the bars drops), tote bars between compartments in the basement of the New York Federal Reserve Bank to settle a debt between Norway and Germany that arose from sardine imports into Germany. Many of the gold bars weigh 400 troy ounces, or 33.3 pounds. They rose in price from $14,000 in 1971 (at $35 per troy ounce) to $204,000 in 1979 (at $510 per troy ounce). Many of these bars are stamped with the insignia of the Soviet Union, which, along with South Africa, mines much of the world’s gold. 13 According to the passage, what is one advantage for the countries that store gold in the Federal Reserve vault?  It is near the United States Assay Office.  The gold is kept in New York, the financial capital of the world.  The gold is kept below sea level and so is not affected by the weather.  They do not have to pay shipping and insurance charges. 14 According to the passage, what happens when one country wants to pay a debt in gold to another country?  The gold is moved to the Federal Reserve Bank from the United States Assay Office.  The gold in the vault is moved from one country’s storage area to another’s.  The gold must be stamped with the insignia of the country that is receiving the payment.  The gold must be weighed to determine its value in dollars, since the price of gold goes up and down so frequently. 代號：10940 頁次：4－4 15 According to the passage, which of the following statements is true of gold bars?  Many of them weigh 33.3 pounds.  They were worth only $35 apiece in 1971 but cost $510 in 1979.  They are worth about $204,000 apiece at the present time.  Almost all of them come from the Soviet Union. 16 According to the passage, what protection is given to the workers in the Federal Reserve vault?  They are insured.  They wear special shoes.  They are allowed to work only short periods of time below sea level.  The information is not given in the passage. 第 17 題至 20 題為篇章結構，各題請依文意，從四個選項中選出最合適者，各題答案內容不重複： Scientists believe that something very serious is happening to the Earth. It is becoming warmer. Scientists predict that there will be major changes in the climate during the next century. Coastal waters will have higher temperatures. 17 Farmers will have trouble producing good crops. In warm regions the weather will be too dry. The amount of water could decrease by 50 percent. This would cause a large decrease in agricultural production. World temperatures could increase from 1.5 to 5.6 degrees Celsius by the middle of the twenty-first century. 18 A rise in temperatures could cause the great ice sheets to melt, which, in turn, would raise the level of the ocean by one to two meters. Many coastal cities would be underwater. Why is this happening? Why is the Earth becoming warmer? The Earth and its atmosphere are kept warm by the Sun. The atmosphere lets most of the light from the Sun pass through to warm the Earth. The Earth is warmed by the sunlight and sends heat energy back into the atmosphere. Much of this energy escapes from the Earth’s atmosphere. However, some of it remains. 19 Then this heat is sent back down to the Earth, and the Earth becomes warmer. Recently, however, an increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is causing serious problems. Too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere prevents heat energy from escaping: too much heat is sent back down to the Earth. 20 When oil, gas, and coal burn, they create large amounts of carbon dioxide. The destruction of rain forests that absorb carbon dioxide also helps to increase the amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. Some scientists believe that the amount of carbon dioxide in the air will double by the late 2000s. 17  This will have a serious effect on agriculture.  And the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere continues to increase.  Scientists call this warming of the Earth and its atmosphere the “greenhouse effect.”  And the increase in temperature could be even greater in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. 18  This will have a serious effect on agriculture.  We need the ozone layer to protect ourselves.  And the increase in temperature could be even greater in the Arctic and Antarctic regions.  Gases such as carbon dioxide, ozone, and water vapor absorb this energy and create more heat. 19  We need the ozone layer to protect ourselves.  And the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere continues to increase.  Scientists call this warming of the Earth and its atmosphere the “greenhouse effect.”  Gases such as carbon dioxide, ozone, and water vapor absorb this energy and create more heat. 20  We need the ozone layer to protect ourselves.  And the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere continues to increase.  And the increase in temperature could be even greater in the Arctic and Antarctic regions.  Gases such as carbon dioxide, ozone, and water vapor absorb this energy and create more heat.
