V. Please read the following article which presents both advantages and limitations of virtual travel. Do you think it is an effective way to balance exploration and conservation? Write an essay of about 200 words, expressing your opinions and reflections. Support your ideas with specific reasons, examples, or personal experience. 

                   Can Virtual Travel Replace In-person Tourism?

      Travel has long been valued as a way to discover new places, encounter different cultures, and experience the beauty of nature. Yet modern tourism also creates serious problems. In many popular
destinations, large numbers of visitors put pressure on local communities, damage natural habitats,and contribute to pollution. As a result, people have started to ask whether there are more responsible
ways to make exploration accessible without exploitation.

     One possible answer is virtual travel. With the help of digital technology, live-streaming devices, or remotely operated cameras, people can observe distant places without physically going
there. Supporters believe this method may reduce the harmful effects of overtourism while still allowing people to learn about natural environments and cultural sites. It may also give access to
those who cannot travel casily because of age, cost, time, or physical condition.

     In addition, virtual travel may serve educational purposes. Students can use it to study geography, wildlife, or environmental issues in a more direct and engaging fashion. Some also argue
that such experiences can inspire people to care more about conservation by helping them see fragile places without disturbing them.

     However, not everyone is convinced that virtual travel through a screen is a satisfying substitute for in-person tourism. Using a phone, flying a drone, and watching a destination is very different
from actually being there, interacting with local people, and experiencing the atmosphere first-hand. Critics also point out that travel is not only about seeing; it is also about human connection, cultural
understanding, and personal growth. These are difficult to reproduce through technology alone.

    For this reason, virtual travel may be best seen not as a permanent replacement for traditional travel, but as an alternative approach to exploring the world. Whether it can truly balance exploration
and conservation remains open to debate.

I. Please merge the two texts and rewrite them into a short essay of approximately 300 words. Design a 10-option Banked Cloze Test with a difficulty level suitable for 12th-grade studentsat Kaohsiung Girls' Senior High School. Answers must be provided. Passage A:     As our daily existence increasingly migrates to the cloud, the management of our digital legacy has surfaced as a painful social dilemma. For grieving families, access to a deceased loved one's socialmedia and cloud storage is far more than a matter of curiosity; it is a vital component of the healing process. In the past, memories were preserved in physical photo albums or handwritten letters. Today,these precious records are locked behind rigid security protocols, leaving families emotionally stranded.    Advocates for "digital inheritance" laws argue that these assets should be legally recognized as personal property, passing automatically to the next of kin. Without such protections, technologycompanies act as unintended gatekeepers, often deleting years of family history due to "inactivity."Furthermore, many individuals now store crucial information-ranging from final letters to financialdetails--exclusively in digital formats. To deny family access is to ignore the reality of how one lives and loves in the 21st century. The emotional and practical value of these records demands a radicalshift in the legal definitions of ownership, ensuring that a person's legacy does not expire the moment their heart stops beating. Passage B:     The debate over the digital afterlife rests on a fundamental philosophical question: should our online presence be treated as transferable property or as a private, lifelong extension of our personality?While the emotional plea of grieving families is moving, technology companies face a conflicting duty: the absolute preservation of user privacy. A digital account is not merely a modern photo album; it isa vast archive of private interactions, many of which the user may have intended to keep confidential,even from relatives.     Granting third-party access even to legal heirs-would set a dangerous precedent that undermines the privacy of encrypted data. Tech firms argue that opening a deceased person's messagescould unintentionally expose the sensitive data of other living individuals who communicated with that user under the assumption of privacy. This would constitute a betrayal of trust. Instead of intrusive  laws, the focus should remain on "proactive management." Many platforms now offer tools like "legacy contacts," empowering users to decide the fate of their data long before they pass away. Byutilizing these features, users can exercise their human agency, deciding what to share and what to take to the grave, which effectively protects the privacy of the deceased and their contacts over theemotional comfort of the living.  

II. Please design five reading comprehensive questions based on the passage aligned with the format of the GSAT questions. The questions should test various reading skills, with the firsttwo focusing on identifying the main idea and making inferences. At least three different question types must be included (e.g., multiple-choice, matching, sequencing, fill-in-the-blanks,completion of tables/charts/graphic organizers, or short-answer questions). Please provide an answer key.  Recent studies suggest that GLP-1 drugs, originally designed for diabetes and weight loss, mayoffer a groundbreaking approach to treating addiction. A comprehensive study reveals that thesemedications could reduce the risk of developing substance use disorders and minimize the severe consequences of addictive behaviors. The research team, led by Dr. Ziyad Al-Aly, analyzed health records from over 600,000 patients. They compared GLP-1 users with those taking SGLT2 inhibitors. Unlike SGLT2 drugs, whichprimarily affect the kidneys to remove excess sugar, GLP-1 medications target the mesolimbic system in the brain. This region governs reward signals that reinforce cravings for food, alcohol,nicotine, and opioids. By suppressing these signals, GLP-1 drugs effectively "quiet" the brain's desire for addictive substances by suppressing the "food noise" or craving signals that lead todependency. The results were significant. Compared to people prescribed an SGLT2 inhibitor, participants taking GLP-1 drugs showed a 14% to 25% lower risk of developing new addictions. For thosealready struggling with substance abuse, the drugs were associated with a 39% reduction in overdoses and a 50% decrease in drug-related deaths. "There is no precedent in our medical toolkitfor a single medicine that works across such a wide range of addictive substances," Al-Aly noted. Despite these promising findings, experts remain cautious about the long-term implications. One major concern is the "rebound effect." Similar to weight loss patients regaining weight afterstopping the medication, addiction cravings might return "with a vengeance" once the drug is discontinued. Furthermore, it remains unclear whether the brain will develop a tolerance to the treatment over time. Scientists still need to determine the ideal dose and duration required to maintain these benefits safely. While Dr. Al-Aly says that if people qualify for the drugs because they have diabetes or are overweight or obese, and they also want to quit smoking, stop drinking, or control their opioiddependence, then the GLP-1 medications could help. Further research is needed to resolve these uncertainties before GLP-1 can be officially established as a new class of anti-addiction medication.

VII. Cloze Test Design      Write a summary of the passage and design five multiple-choice cloze questions for 11 th graders. Each question must include answer choices: (A), (B), (C), and (D), with one of them being the best answer. Answers to each question must be provided.      Mammals are characterized by a more upright limb posture compared to their early ancestors, a trait often considered important in their evolutionary history. However, the earliest ancestors of modern mammals moved with sprawled limbs, similar to those of reptiles. For decades, scientists believed that the transition from a sprawled to an upright posture followed a gradual and linear path. Yet exactly how, why, and when this change occurred has long remained unclear.     A recent study published in Science Advances challenges this traditional view. By combining fossil evidence with advanced biomechanical modeling, researchers investigated how limb function evolved over 300 million years. They first examined living animals with different limb postures—from sprawled lizards to semi-upright alligators and fully upright mammals—to better understand how anatomy influences movement. They then applied these principles to digital models of extinct species.     Using engineering-based simulations, the researchers calculated each species’ “feasible force space,” a three-dimensional representation of how much force a limb can produce in different directions. This measurement reflects overall locomotor performance, since animals must generate sufficient force to run, turn, or maintain balance. By comparing fossil species across time, the team discovered that locomotor performance did not steadily improve toward upright posture. Instead, it peaked and declined repeatedly, suggesting a complex and nonlinear evolutionary pattern.     Some extinct species appeared capable of shifting between sprawled and more upright positions, while others showed reversals toward more sprawled postures. The findings indicate that the full set of traits associated with modern upright mammals likely evolved much later than previously assumed, probably near the common ancestor of therian mammals.     Overall, the findings suggest that evolutionary transitions are rarely simple or linear. Advances in digital modeling now allow scientists to reconsider long-standing assumptions and reveal a far more dynamic picture of how mammals—and perhaps other groups—evolved.

VI. Integrated Reading Test DesignPlease follow the instructions below to design integrated reading tasks suitable for the new General Scholastic Ability Test. Please use different kinds of question types for these integrated reading tasks, including multiple-answer questions, matching, ordering, fill-in-the-blank, table/chart/organizer completion, short-answer questions, true-false questions, and so on. Provid at least      two      different question types and the correct answers for each question. It’s not necessary to rewrite the article.      Across many cities, historic districts have been revitalized in the name of cultural preservation. Old streets are restored, traditional crafts are displayed, and local customs are carefully packaged for visitors. At first glance, such efforts appear to  protect the past from disappearance. Yet preservation, when shaped by tourism and commerce, often transforms what it claims to save.      In revitalized districts, tradition rarely survives unchanged. Rituals are rescheduled to suit visitors’ timetables, and handmade objects are redesigned to meet modern tastes. What was once embedded in daily life becomes something to be observed, photographed, and consumed. This does not necessarily strip tradition of all meaning, but it alters its function. Culture shifts from lived experience to curated display. Supporters argue that without economic incentives, many traditions would vanish entirely. Tourism provides income, visibility, and renewed interest, especially among younger generations. From this perspective, adaptation is not betrayal but survival. A tradition that refuses to change may remain pure, yet isolated and fragile. Critics, however, caution that excessive commercialization creates a shallow version of heritage. When cultural practices are simplified for easy consumption, their historical complexity is often lost. Visitors may leave with images and souvenirs, but little understanding of the values or struggles that shaped the culture in the first place. In such cases, preservation risks becoming performance.      The tension lies not between preservation and change, but between autonomy and external demand. Cultural revitalization succeeds only when communities reclaim the authority to define what is preserved and why. When decisions are driven primarily by capital, authenticity becomes a marketing illusion. Ultimately, preserving culture demands more than restoring buildings; it demands protecting the agency of those who inherit the tradition. Without this, preservation may succeed visually while failing culturally—a reminder that what endures is not what attracts attention, but what remains meaningful to those who live with it.
