【2024高考復習】任務型讀寫
The scientific method consists of asking and finding answers to a problem by way of logical thinking, carefully weighing all the possibilities and arriving at the best possible solution. Curious observation and asking a question “Why or When, How or Where” regarding a phenomenon forms the first step of scientific method. To understand the problem clearly and come up with the “specific” question, you may need to consider, observe carefully, and use your reasoning skills. For this you may have to research, gather observable and measurable data according to your principles of reasoning. The way you look at a problem or a phenomenon, understand and approach it by asking the right question has a high probability of leading you to the correct solution.
After you’ve made your observation and asked a question, conduct your research to gather information about the subject. To answer the question, the library and the Internet must be used to collect information. Also, explore and focus on the research work that has been carried out. Also, the process of researching must be impartial (公正的) for a fair interpretation of the results. All the data and methods must be documented and shared properly. This enables the data to be carefully studied by other researchers.
A hypothesis (假設) is a possible theory that is formed after observing and analyzing a certain phenomenon and can provide a probable answer to the problem. Every scientific experiment is based on a hypothesis which gives you an idea to approach the problem and conduct the related experiment. Researchers sticking to the scientific method employ hypotheses to explain various phenomena and also design experimental studies to test these hypotheses.
As stated earlier, a hypothesis is a theory that isn’t yet proved, and to prove it experiments must be conducted. The experiment proves the authenticity (真實性) of the hypothesis according to the information and evidences gathered while doing research on the subject. Care must be taken that the experiment is a fair test, and it must be repeated for the same and different set of values. The experiment will either confirm or rule out your theory. However, if it doesn’t support the hypothesis, it must be rejected or modified.
Once your experiment is completed, you need to analyze the data to check whether your hypothesis is true or false. If the hypothesis isn’t in accordance with the facts, you’ll have to form a new hypothesis and begin the steps of the scientific method all over again. If the hypothesis turns out to be true, it is necessary to check it again by using a new approach. In addition, the results of the experiment and the hypothesis must be conveyed to others through a display board or by publishing a final report. When others perform the same experiment and get the same results, the hypothesis becomes rock-solid.

請認真閱讀下面短文，并根據所讀內容在文章后圖表的空格里填上最恰當的單詞。
Host family accommodation means that hosts treat the students as a full member of the household, eating together with the students and sharing the common living areas with him/her. No more than three adult students or four junior students will be accommodated in host family accommodation at one time.
Host family accommodation remains popular among international students. It is the most economical and beneficial accommodation for any student. It is also the best way to practice English and learn new cultures. As a result, it is often seen as the number-one choice for its advantages in language study, cultural communication and cost of living. Staying alongside host family enables students to get enough practice during the short time of their study so that their language acquisition is likely to become faster. Living in host families, students are able to spend a lot of time communicating with their “host parents”, who are often very hospitable and friendly, and get to know the lacal way of life, people and culture. Most host families are always ready to help students out in any situation. Often the bonds that are made between international students and their host families endure many years, and are maintained through letters and e-mails. Another advantage is that host family accommodation can sometimes be the least expensive. It attracts students as it ensures them a family type of living at a low cost.
The advantages, however, have not prevented host families,from worrying. On the one hand, some host families are losing their unique selling points. One problem is that the majority of hosts in big cities, now generally single and young, have less time available for international students, but the selling point for host family accommodation is communication practice. On the other hand, students’ expectations have risen. They are becoming more demanding and asking for more than ever from their accommodation, as they come mainly from high socio-economic groups in their own countries.
To get out of the difficult situation, host families are now making efforts to improve the quality of service. They are trying to make living conditions better, including broadband Internet service, private bathroom, and access to plenty of hot water for long showers. Ther are also providing students with structured family activities.
It is believed that host family accommodation will keep the popularity vote with international students.

任務型閱讀（B）
請認真閱讀下列短文，并根據所讀內容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰當的單詞。
注意：每個空格填1個單詞。
China’s Tianhe-1 has a computing speed of 2,507 trillion（萬億）calculations a second, making it the fastest computer in the world. It is also 40 percent faster than the world’s second fastest supercomputer, Cray XT5 Jaguar, in the US, kept at a national laboratory in Tennessee, according to the New York Times. Jack Dongarra, a University of Tennessee computer scientist, told NYT that the Chinese supercomputer is faster than the existing Number One machine.
Building the fastest supercomputer has become a source of national pride, as these machines are valued for their ability to solve problems in areas like defense, energy and science. These problems are related to national interests. Supercomputing technology is also found in business. Oil and gas companies use supercomputers to find oil and gas.
Obviously, research centers with large supercomputers attract top scientific talents. This adds extra importance to the machines—they’re more than just huge computers.
China’s new supercomputer will be used to speed up greatly scientific calculations, such as hurricane and tsunami modeling, cancer research, car design and even studying stars.
In 2008, two US scientists put together a step-by-step guide on how to build a supercomputer using PlayStation 3 video-game consoles（控制臺）. Modern supercomputers are built by combining thousands of small computer servers（服務器）and using software to turn them into one large computer. Really, any organization with enough material and technology can create a fast machine.
The Chinese system follows that model by linking thousands upon thousands of computer servers. But the secret behind the system—and the technological achievement—is China’s own networking technology. “That technology was built by them,” Dongarra said. “They are taking supercomputing very seriously and using a lot of time and money.”
“China is still a developing country,” said Sha Chaoqun, manager at Dawning Company which is the leading supercomputer maker in China. “Maybe one day, China’s total computing power can be greater than that of the US, but there is still a long way to go before we get there.”
