II. English Ability  1. Paraphrasing : Rewrite the following sentence in English to express the same meaning or information with different wording and structure. One of the downsides of e-commerce is that no matter how perfect your product pages are, despite a plethora of items available, the customer will never be able to have the real product in his hand, like at a physical store.

2. Summarizing : Write a summary in English between 80 to 100 words to get thegist of the following article. (It is strongly recommended not to copy the same sentencesof the original texts.)       Scientists have long wondered how butterflies fly—compared with other flying animals, thecreatures have unusually short, broad and large wings relative to their body size. Now, expertshave found that the insects “clap” their wings together, and their wings are perfectly evolved forbetter propulsion.       Biologists from Sweden’s Lund University set out to test a 50-year-old theory thatbutterflies “clap” their wings together, pushing out the trapped air to create a jet and push theanimal in the opposite direction. The biologists studied free-flying butterflies and, in theiraerodynamic analysis, found the creatures’ wings form a cupped shape during the upstroke and“clap,” thrusting the butterfly forward. Meanwhile, the downstroke helps with weight support.      They also noticed that the butterfly wings were behaving in an unusual way. Instead ofslamming together as two flat surfaces, the wings bent to create a “pocket shape,” which wouldcapture more air and improve propulsion. In doing so, butterflies captured more air betweentheir wings, which improved the clap and boosted performance.      The team tested their theory using a series of triangular robotic clappers and found thatflexible wings increased the efficiency of the clap by 28% compared with rigid wings. Expertsthink the creatures may have evolved to favor this unusual wing shape in order to evadepredators. This flexibility might be one of the reasons butterflies have this unusual wing shape.They take off very quickly, doing this as a safety measure, to minimize risk of getting caught.III.

1. 英譯中：請將下列英文翻譯成正確通順、適體適境的中文。      What is intelligence, anyway? When I was in the Army, I received a kind of aptitude testthat all soldiers took and, against a normal of 100, scored 160. No one at the base had ever seen afigure like that, and for two hours they made a big fuss over me.      All my life I’ve been registering scores like that, so that I have the complacent feeling thatI’m highly intelligent, and I expect other people to think so, too. Actually, though, don’t suchscores simply mean that I am very good at answering the type of academic questions that areconsidered worthy of answers by the people who make up the intelligence tests—people withintellectual bents similar to mine?      For instance, I had an auto repairman once, who, on these intelligence tests, could notpossibly have scored more than 80, by my estimate. I always took it for granted that I was farmore intelligent than he was. Yet, when anything went wrong with my car, I hastened to him withit, watched him anxiously as he explored its vitals, and listened to his pronouncements as thoughthey were divine oracles—and he always fixed my car.

2. Chinese-to-English Translation : Translate the following Chinese text into correct, fluent and adequate English.        文字表達，過去習慣稱為「辭章」，取捨的問題比較難於說清楚，因為同一篇文章，專 從寫作技巧方面考慮，常常是仁者見仁，智者見智。概括的原則容易說，比如自然比造作 好，簡練比拖沓好，流利比艱澀好，古樸比輕浮好，生動比板滯好，典雅比粗俗好，優美 比鄙陋好，等等，大家都會同意。問題是這些原則都很抽象，難於像用天平衡物那樣，半 斤就是半斤，三兩就是三兩。但是我們又必須承認，就是辭章方面，作品，或說有些作品， 終歸有高下之分，而我們也應該細心地，盡量避免偏見地分辨高下，然後取其精捨其粗。                                                                                                    節錄自《文言漫步》，張中行著

(2) 「擴增實境」的起源可以追溯至 1990 年代，經過 20 多年的發展，演變成今日一般熟 知的手機應用型態，尤其是寶可夢遊戲的抓寶熱讓它在 2016 年一夕爆紅。可惜的是， 多數業者一股腦兒的往遊戲領域開發，較少有人認真去思考及發展其他方面的可能性。不過，印度一家新創公司已研發透過「擴增實境」的技術來提高倉儲的效率，大 幅節省了時間及人力成本。

(1) 經過 4 個月連續攀升、並於 10 月創下史上最高紀錄後，台灣 11 月的失業率終於微幅下降為 6.04%，但和鄰近的日韓星港相比，仍是最高。

(2) Cosmetic surgery has become a booming, $10.1 billion business each year in the United States. Women, accounting for 91% of cosmetic patients domestically, are electing to make some quick fixes more than ever. Moreover, now it’s not just a nip and tuck for older women to appear younger and fresher: Greater numbers of younger women are now going under the knife. Cosmetic procedures are up 4% for women in their 30s, and 30% of all liposuction recipients are aged between 19 and 34. This may indicate a new wave of perfection-seekers, as normal-weight women trim an inch of unwanted fat from their thighs or ditch their miracle bras for larger boobs—now the most popular invasive procedure.
