【評論主題】85. People who can have relatively high level of pyruvate in their blood due to_________;what enzyme

【評論內容】Pyruvate oxidation to acetyl-CoA is catalyzed by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDH complex). It is an oxidative decarboxylation, which is virtually irreversible involving three enzymes and five coenzymes. Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), one of the cofactor in pyruvate dehydrogenase, participates in decarboxylation of pyruvate, yielding hydroxyethyl-TPP for next step. In clinical study, patients with PDH complex deficiency elevate plasma pyruvate levels.The pyruvate carboxylase reaction requires the vitamin biotin, which is the prosthetic group of the enzyme. But lacking biotin or pyruvate carboxylate does not cause high level of pyruvate in their blood.Reference: Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency: updating the clinical, metabolic and mutational landscapes in a cohort of Portuguese patients.

【評論內容】

本篇閱讀測驗主旨在說明新的 AI(NooK)與傳統的 AI 不一樣的原因。第一段結尾就提出後者對人類的貢獻有限。第二段透過說明橋牌的遊戲規則凸顯 NooK 與傳統 AI的差異。第三段說明 NooK造成差異的關鍵。第四段說明 Donald Michie 心目中 AI 的理想境界為何,而 NooK 的運作與 Michie 的想法一致。第五段進一步說明 NooK 如何實現 Michie 的想法。最後一段的「主題句」“Technologies build trust if they are understandable”再次回應第二段 NooK 在橋牌的特有規則下戰勝世界級橋牌高手的關鍵,並以“NooK will be a world changing technology if it lives up to the promise of solving problem and explaining how it does so”結尾。整篇文章的發展以 NooK 的發明為基調,輔以傳統 AI 不足之處,強調 NooK 為 AI 的發展帶來曙光(“the promise of solving problem and explaining how it does so”)。所以作者的態度樂觀,應無疑義。選項(C) indifferent 指「不感興趣的」、「不關心的」、「冷淡的」,若作者的態度「不感興趣」、「冷淡」就不會大費周章說明 NooK 有別其他 AI 之處,也不會說明理想 AI 是甚麼樣貌。維持原公布答案(B)

【評論主題】【題組】42. What can be inferred from this passage?(A)   This is an international campaign.(B)   Medical

【評論內容】

The passage states that the healthcare sector has a global greenhouse gas contribution of 4.4% and that more than 60 governments, making up more than 47% of net global health care emissions have committed to low-carbon health systems. This suggests that healthcare is a significant source of greenhouse emissions and that there is a global effort to reduce these emissions. 正確答案是A)這是一個國際運動。文章說明需要針對氣候危機進行全球行動,而醫療保健是一個重要的行業,其全球溫室氣體排放貢獻率為4.4%。文章也提到,超過60個國家已承諾實施低碳醫療保健系統,這可作為這是國際運動的證據[more than 60 governments have committed to low-carbon health systems, indicating that this is a global effort.]。因此,選項A是可以從文章中得到的最合理推斷。

【評論主題】7. The shortage of blood donors makes the council appeal_______blood donation.(A) to(B) for(C) again

【評論內容】appeal 用法如下: appeal to 某人或 appeal for 某事,因為此題空格後是 blood donation,並非人,故正確答案為(B) for。英文亦有 appeal to one’s sense of loyalty 之用法,to 後面不接某人,但這種用法,appeal to 後面應接某人的某種抽象感受,如 one’s sense of loyalty,指的是訴諸某人的某種抽象的東西(如:忠誠),但此題空格後是 blood donation,非忠誠之類的抽象的事物,故(A) to 非正確答案。

【評論主題】85. People who can have relatively high level of pyruvate in their blood due to_________;what enzyme

【評論內容】Pyruvate oxidation to acetyl-CoA is catalyzed by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDH complex). It is an oxidative decarboxylation, which is virtually irreversible involving three enzymes and five coenzymes. Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), one of the cofactor in pyruvate dehydrogenase, participates in decarboxylation of pyruvate, yielding hydroxyethyl-TPP for next step. In clinical study, patients with PDH complex deficiency elevate plasma pyruvate levels.The pyruvate carboxylase reaction requires the vitamin biotin, which is the prosthetic group of the enzyme. But lacking biotin or pyruvate carboxylate does not cause high level of pyruvate in their blood.Reference: Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency: updating the clinical, metabolic and mutational landscapes in a cohort of Portuguese patients.

【評論內容】

《漢語大辭典》對「不足」解為「不可,不能」之意時,即舉《荀子‧正論》:「淺不足以測深,愚不足以謀知。」為例子。而「愚不足與智謀」應是指愚笨的人在「事實上」就無法了解,而不是「不值得」與其談論,這也是對應後文「坎井之蛙,不可與東海之樂」的意思。無論是楊柳橋的《荀子詁譯》語譯「愚不足以謀知」句為:「愚蠢的人,不能同他談論智慧。」或是蔣南華等人的《荀子全譯》把這句譯為:「愚蠢的人,是不能與他商量智慧的事的。」都是「不能」的意思。至於所提供網址,經查為大陸的「每日頭條」網站,其所提供的只有《荀子‧正論》的一小段文字及白話語譯,並非正式的出版物,也未經過較嚴格學術的檢核與考慮,無法成為適合的依據。 

【評論主題】※閱讀下文後,回答第 19〜20 題        吉祥圖案,顧名思義是表現出吉祥美好主題內容的圖案裝飾紋樣,它的形成和發展在我國有著極為悠久的歷史。早在遙遠的新石器時期,我們的祖先藉捕魚狩獵刀耕火耨

【評論內容】1.考生指出︰根據文章中的定義:「吉祥圖案,顧名思義是表現出吉祥美好主題內容的圖案裝飾紋樣…」,因此應該是某些固定形式的「圖案裝飾紋樣」,如龍鳳等(如文章所言「商周青銅器上的龍鳳紋樣……都可視為吉祥圖案。」),而且要表現出吉祥美好的主題內容。然而,據文章中所說 「早在遙遠的新石器時期,我們的祖先藉捕魚狩獵刀耕火耨以謀生存之時,在彩陶上就出現了植物魚鳥等形象,表達了圖騰崇拜和對後代繁衍等觀念。」這應該只是對某些形象的圖騰崇拜,而非有固定吉祥美好主題內容的裝飾紋樣。如果一般繪畫的魚鳥等都可以視為「吉祥圖案」,那就不用特別定義吉祥圖案了。★實際上:題幹原文一開始先解釋吉祥圖案的意思(並非下嚴格定義),然後指出「吉祥圖案的形成和發展在我國有著極為悠久的歷史。」緊接著說明「早在遙遠的新石器時期,我們的祖先藉捕魚狩獵刀耕火耨以謀生存之時,在彩陶上就出現了植物魚鳥等形象,表達了圖騰崇拜和對後代繁衍等觀念。」從文意上推敲,作者的意思是︰「新石器時期在彩陶上就出現的植物魚鳥等形象,是吉祥圖案最早的形式。」殆無疑義。2.考生又引原文「唐宋以後,由於城市的繁榮,促使反映民間意識及審美趣味的世俗美術有了明顯的發展,繪畫及工藝裝飾上湧現出眾多的吉祥題材。」認為選項(D)「唐宋時期吉祥圖案大量湧現在民間」應該是更適宜的答案。★實際上:考生所引原文,作者的意思是︰除了前文所提及的植物魚鳥、龍鳳紋樣、麒麟、白鵲、嘉禾、連理枝等吉祥圖案外,唐宋以後,反映民間意識(並非吉祥圖案)及審美趣味的世俗美術(並非吉祥圖案)有了明顯的發展,繪畫及工藝裝飾上湧現出眾多的吉祥題材。考生將這段話解讀為唐宋時期已有大量吉祥圖案在民間湧現,是明顯的錯誤。文章後面也清楚指出「明清以來吉祥圖案大量出現於民間生活之中」。3.綜上所述,原答案既無誤謬,亦無疑義,故維持原答案(A)。

【評論主題】29. 下列化合物的燃燒熱(heat of combustion)由高至低排列為何? (A) I > III > II (B) I > II > III (C) II > I > III (D) II

【評論內容】

本題中選項 III 的化合物(C9H16)比其他兩個選項的化合物(C8H14)具有較高的燃燒熱是無庸置疑的。因為碳氫化合物之燃燒熱為碳數最多者最高。選項 I 和 II 的化 合物中因為化合物 I 為具有三圓環化合物所以相較化合物 II 較不穩定,所以燃燒 熱較高。所以燃燒熱高低排序為 III>I>II。由烷類分子位能高低(穩定度)判斷其燃燒熱大小,只適用於碳數相同的烷類,所以 I 與 II 可用此方式判斷,因此燃燒熱 I > II,但 III 所含碳數與 I 及 II 不同,不能用烷類位能高低(穩定度)判斷。一般而言,碳數越多,燃燒時所釋放出的熱量越多,所以 III 會大於 I 及 II,因此燃燒熱 III > I > II。

且由文獻中(J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1970, 92, 3109–3118.)的 Table IV 得知cis-bicyclo[5.1.0]octane 的燃燒熱為 1216 kcal/mol ---> Icis-bicyclo[3.3.0]octane 的燃燒熱為 1198 kcal/mol ---> II由文獻中(J. Phys. Chem. 1960, 64, 927–931.)的 Table IV 得知cis-bicyclo[4.3.0]nonane 的燃燒熱為 1351 kcal/mol ---> III
