12. A boy won people’s hearts after he came up with a heartwarming u for his

birthday money: launching a food bank rvice from his garden shed (棚屋). Isaac

Winfield, who was born with a rare chromosome (染色體) disorder, started the initiative

in 2020 after learning that his new school didn’t accept food donations.

The boy’s mother, Claire, said, “We’d always donated to food banks and during the

pandemic he would take food parcels into school which would be given to people in need.

When Isaac moved from a mainstream school to a specialist school, he was left confud

as to what he was going to do with his food parcels.”

“Being determined, Isaac said, ‘It’s alright; I’ll give them food at my hou.’” the 42-

year -old continued. “So I doubled the money I gave him normally for food parcels and

he went off to Aldi. With a little bit of help, he put all the food he bought in a little

greenhou with some lights and started offering it from there. Someone spotted it and

put it on one of tho Facebook community sites, and then people came with donations.

The greenhou lasted four weeks before he had to get a shed becau we ran out of

room.”

“In 2021, we were funded a bigger shed. Isaac ran his little shed and his big shed on

the big driveway,” she added. Today, well-wishers can donate food or ask for supplies by

contacting Isaac via his Friend’s of Isaac Food Bank Facebook page. The boy fills bags

of groceries that have been donated and hands them out to the needy around his

hometown. Tho in need can also directly visit his food bank sheds and help themlves

to whatever they require.

This year, Isaac asked his family and friends to make food bank donations instead of

buying him gifts for his 11th birthday. “Isaac has always been kind-hearted,” said Claire.

“I think he has been doing something great by helping others. He can’t read or write but

13. The next time you find yourlf in nature, away from the crowded urban

environment, take a deep breath of the fresh and clean air. That refreshing breath is made

possible by the trees around you.

Today, our cars and machines fill the air with carbon emissions. But scientists

imagine a future, where vehicles will clean the air as efficiently as trees do. Euro News

reports that the electric car, designed by Dutch students at the Eindhoven University of

Technology, is capable of removing a small amount of carbon from the air.

The car’s sporty frame is nearly entirely compod of recycled plastics run through a

3D-printer and the engine is powered by an electric lithium-ion (鋰離子) battery. By

using 3D printing, the team could produce parts in the exact shape needed, with very little

waste. Since nearly 2 billion tires end up in the trash yearly, the students also teamed up

with Black Bear Carbon to source recycled black carbon for the tires. Moreover, solar

panels fitted to the car’s roof allow it to act as an external solar power source for a hou.

According to Reuters, electric vehicles produce near-zero CO emissions as they

2

drive. The drawback of the batteries, however, is that the process needed to create the

battery cells for electric cars is still highly polluting. To offt the harmful effect of

creating the lithium-ion batteries, the team fitted the car with two filters (過濾器), which

can capture (捕獲) two kilograms of CO every 18,000 miles or so. That might not sound

2

like a lot, but the team is confident they can make sure the two filters will capture more

CO.

2

The team is now on tour in the US to promote their model, which they call ZEM for

Zero-Emission Mobility, and to share their vision for the future. They picture electric car

charging stations also fitted with the capacity to empty CO. “Our end goal is to create a

2

more sustainable future,” said Jens Lahaijie, a member of the team that produced the car.

1. What can we know about the electric car?

A．It is a completely 3D printed product.

B．Its design is environmentally-friendly.

C．It is still dependent on traditional fuels.

D．Its task is to protect trees in urban areas.

2. What will the Dutch students do with their electric car?

A．Equip it with more filters and solar panels.

B．Increa its driving speed in a short time.

C．Reduce its dependence on lithium-ion batteries.

D．Improve its filters’ capability of capturing CO.

2

3. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．The electric car hasn’t come to market in the US.

B．Electric car charging stations are common.

C．The future of electric cars turns out uncertain.

D．The electric car model has won great favor.

4. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Carbon Capture Technology Is Ud

B．Eco-friendly Cars Are in Great Need

C．An Electric Car Helps to Clean the Air

D．A Sustainable Future Is Shared Together

14. On TikTok, “#Selfcare” has 28.2 billion views, while the hashtag(主題標簽) can

be found on over 66 million Instagram posts. Also, books about lf-care often top many

people s shopping lists.

On the surface, it makes complete n. Who wouldn’t like the idea of making

onelf feel better and taking care of their mind, body and soul? Yet, we have to be

careful not to view lf-care as a cure-all solution to our problems. Self-care pursued

without awareness of your specific needs and consistent evaluation can cau emotional,

financial, mental and physical conquences.

According to Zishan Khan, a psychologist with Mindpath Health, lf-care can lead

to a person becoming overwhelmed(不知所措的) when met with a a of advice,

emerging everywhere from podcasts to lf-help books. “So don’t allow what others

suggest to cloud your internal voice,” says Khan. “Self- care can only benefit a person if

it’s consistent with their goals and values.”

Khan further emphasizes the danger of unregulated physically-centered lf-care

advice, such as from influencers. “Their content often overly focus on beauty and

improving one’s looks. This can unintentionally lead to body image concerns and thus

actually worn one’s mental health,” she says.

Another danger can come when lf-care actions reach the level of obssion or

addiction, says Melissa Boudin, a psychologist of Choosing Therapy. “When you spend a

large amount of time thinking about or practising a certain lf-care behavior, this may be

a sign that lf-care has gone from beneficial to harmful,” she says, using the example of

lf-care through healthy eating and then going so far as to develop an eating disorder.

Lena Suarez-Angelino, a licend clinical social worker, recommends creating a list

of activities that make you feel better but don’t overextend you. Worthwhile and

beneficial lf-care may include anything from time with loved ones to walking. If you

can’t really afford to buy dinner for the fifth time this week, that’s not it.

1. What does paragraph 1 mainly suggest?

A．Self-care pursuit needs restricting.

B．Online interaction becomes popular.

C．Awareness of personal needs matters.

D．People attach much attention to lf-care.

2. What can do harm to the lf-care practice in Zishan Khan’s opinion?

A．Being open to new lf-care ideas.

B．Always keeping your goals in mind.

C．Taking up too many responsibilities.

D．Caring too much about others’ advice.

3. Why does Melissa Boudin mention the example about eating in paragraph 5?

A．To prove addiction to lf-care actions can be harmful.

B．To warn physically-centered lf-care advice is uless.

C．To show how to make yourlf feel better in a right way.

D．To tell the reason for people’s worry about others’ views.

4. What is the author’s purpo in writing the text?

A．To introduce the dangers of lf-care advice.

B．To encourage us to read more lf-help books.

C．To remind us to be cautious to pursue lf-care.

D．To discuss some ways to make ourlves better.

五、七選五

15. Many people tend to peel(削皮)fruit and vegetables when preparing them. But

often, it’s not necessary. 1 What’s more, discarded(被丟棄的)fruit and vegetable

peels cau climate change.

Fruit and vegetables are rich sources of vitamins, minerals, fiber and many

phytochemicals that protect your cells from harm. 2 In 2017, the World Health

Organization reported that around 3.9 million deaths a year worldwide were linked to

people not eating enough fruit and vegetables.

Eating 400g of fruit and vegetables a day, as the WHO recommends, is difficult to

achieve for many people. So could consuming fruit and vegetable peels help with this

issue by adding important nutrients to people’s diets? 3 For example, nutritionally

important amounts of vitamins, such as vitamin C, and minerals like iron and zinc, are

found in the peel of root vegetables like wild carrots, sweet potatoes and white potatoes.

And the US Department of Agriculture shows that unpeeled apples contain 15% more

vitamin C than their peeled equivalents.

4 According to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization, uneaten food,

including peel, generates 8%—10% of the world’s greenhou gas emissions. New

Zealand alone reports an annual wastage of 13,658 tons of vegetable peels and 986 tons

of fruit peels.

Given the nutrient content of peel and its contribution to food waste, why do people

peel fruit and vegetables? Some must be peeled for different reasons. For example, their

outer portions are uneatable, don’t taste nice, are hard to clean or cau harm. Also,

peeling may be a necessary part of the recipe, for example, when making mashed

potato(土豆泥).

Are you still confud about whether to peel fruit and vegetables? 5

A．They can certainly contribute.

B．There are important nutrients in the peel.

C．Sometimes, it’s necessary to peel fruit and vegetables.

D．Actually, if many peels are eatable, don’t peel them if unnecessary.

E．With a little creativity, you can increa your fruit and vegetable intake.

F．Another reason for not discarding peels is their effect on the environment.

G．Not consuming enough of the nutrient-rich foods leads to an incread risk of

deadly dias.
