請依下文回答第 47 題至第 50 題：
In 1349 it resumed in Paris, spread to Picardy, Flanders, and the Low Countries, and from England to Scotland and Ireland as well as to Norway, where a ghost ship with a cargo of wool and a dead crew drifted offshore until it ran aground near Bergen. From there the plague passed into Sweden, Denmark, Prussia, Iceland, and as far as Greenland. Leaving a strange pocket of immunity in Bohemia and Russia unattacked until 1351, it had passed from most of Europe by the mid-1350s. Although the mortality rate was erratic, ranging from one-fifth in some places to nine-tenths or almost total elimination in others, the overall estimate of modern demographers has settled—for the area extending from India to Iceland—around the same figure expressed in Froissart’s casual words: “A third of the world dies.” His estimate, the common one at the time, was not an inspired guess but a borrowing of St. John’s figure for mortality from the plague in Revelation, the favorite guide to human affairs of the Middle Ages.
在1349年它在巴黎死灰復燃，傳到Picardy區、Flanders區和低地國家(荷蘭、比利時、盧森堡)，而且從英國至蘇格蘭、愛爾蘭和挪威，那裡有一艘上面載有羊毛和一些死亡水手的鬼船在沿海漂泊、最後擱淺於挪威的Bergen市。從那裡，瘟疫傳進了瑞典、丹麥、普魯士、冰島甚至遠到格林蘭島。留下波西米亞及俄羅斯一個奇怪的免疫區、直到1351年才被感染，它在1350年代中期已經傳染到大部分的歐洲國家。雖然死亡率並不穩定，有些地方是五分之一、其他的地方是十分之九或幾乎是完全的滅絕，但是以現代人口統計學家的總結估計 – 從印度到冰島地區 – 數目和Froissart隨口說出來的差不多：” 死了世界的三分之一。”他的估計，在那個時代是很普遍的，並不是一個隨機的猜測，而是借用St. John 的 Revelation (啟示錄) 書中的瘟疫死亡率，這本書是中世紀最好的人類事務簡介 。
| 47 |
What does the underlined “it” in the first line refer to? |
| |
(A) The ghost ship |
(B) The mortality |
(C) The immunity |
(D) The plague |
| |
(A) 鬼船 |
(B) 死亡率 |
(C) 免疫 |
(D) 瘟疫 |
答: D |
| |
本題讀者可以把it和第三行的The plague 對換、就會更確定選D是正確的答案 |
| 48 |

| |
(A) Denmark |
(B) France |
(C) Russia |
(D) United Kingdom |
| |
(A) 丹麥 |
(B) 法國 |
(C) 俄羅斯 |
(D) 英國 |
答: C |
| |
Leaving a strange pocket of immunity in Bohemia and Russia unattacked until 1351, …. |
| |
until1351是指剛開始沒有被感染，直到1351年才被感染。 |
| 49 |
According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? |
| |
(A) |
The number of deaths given by Froissart is not reliable. |
| |
(B) |
The disease described in the passage broke out first in 1349. |
| |
(C) |
The mortality rates of the affected countries differ greatly. |
| |
(D) |
An infected ship landing on Bergen started the spread of the disease in Norway. |
| |
(A) |
Froissart提出的死亡數據是不可靠的。 |
| |
(B) |
文章中所敘述的疾病最早(第一次)爆發於1349年。 |
| |
(C) |
在受感染的國中，死亡率有極大的不同。 |
| |
(D) |
一艘被感染的船降落在(landing on)卑爾根市(Bergen)開始了在挪威散撥疾病。 |
| |
答: C |
1. |
第一行中的resume是「恢復」的意思，在1349年並不是最早(第一次)爆發，而是「死灰復燃」。所以答案不能選B. |
| |
|
2. |
介係詞 on 是「在…上面」，at 是「在…地方」；
Bergen 是一個城市，抵達一個城市應該用 arriving at Bergen，所以答案不能選D |
| 50 |
