TOCFL Reading Comprehension & Interpretation

Question 1

根據短文，作者最想傳達的中心思想是什麼？

Accepted Answer

提倡環保節能

Answer

Based on the context provided by subsequent questions (Q17, Q21, Q23), which mention strained water resources, the urgency of green travel, and warnings about inaction, the passage's central theme is clearly advocating for environmental protection and energy saving. The author aims to raise awareness and encourage sustainable practices. The other options are unrelated to these strong environmental themes.

Question 2

文章中提到「水資源日益緊張」，下列哪項數據最能支持此觀點？

Accepted Answer

平均用水量十年來增加30%

Answer

If water resources are "increasingly strained," it means there's a growing problem with water availability due to rising demand or diminishing supply. An increase in average water consumption (平均用水量十年來增加30%) directly supports the idea of resources being strained, as it indicates that demand is significantly outstripping sustainable levels. Other options like increased rainfall or lake area would suggest the opposite, while building water plants addresses supply but not necessarily the strain on existing resources.

Question 3

作者使用哪種修辭手法強調夏日炎熱？

Accepted Answer

誇張

Answer

Hyperbole (誇張) is a rhetorical device that uses extreme exaggeration to create emphasis or effect, making a description more vivid and impactful. To emphasize summer heat, an author would likely use expressions that go beyond literal possibility (e.g., "太陽把大地烤焦了" - the sun roasted the earth). This exaggeration effectively conveys the intensity of the heat.

Question 4

段落中「他終於鬆了一口氣」最可能表示什麼含義？

Accepted Answer

壓力得到釋放

Answer

"鬆了一口氣" (sōng le yī kǒu qì) is a common idiom meaning "to heave a sigh of relief." This phrase universally indicates that a person has been under stress or worry, and now that a difficult situation has passed or been resolved, they feel a sense of relief. Therefore, it most likely means that pressure has been released.

Question 5

閱讀下列句子判斷：作者對城市交通的態度是？

Accepted Answer

負面批評

Answer

If the author's attitude towards urban traffic is "negative criticism," the text would likely describe it in terms of significant problems such as congestion, pollution, inefficiency, or the frustration it causes. Such descriptions indicate a critical and disapproving stance, rather than a positive, neutral, or humorous one.
