📖 題組:
The first slow city in Taiwan is Fenglin Township. In 2014, it became a member of an international “slow city” organization. Located in Hualien County, Fenglin boasts a culture that matches the way of life promoted by the organization. The residents value traditions and maintain their own methods of farming, food preparation, and keeping friendly relations. To appreciate the beauty of Fenglin, one has to take the time to soak up its relaxing atmosphere. While economic progress has brought about vast changes elsewhere, Fenglin remains untouched by industrial development or noisy traffic. By preserving the casual charm of its mountain township, the local community hopes to leave this special gift for future generations. Two residents who left behind them the fast-moving lifestyles of big cities to return to Fenglin and experience slow living are Chen Kengyan and Zhong Sunlung. Chen quit teaching to take over the family farm before going on to earn a certificate in organic farming. Now, he starts work at 5 a.m., goes home at 9 a.m., takes a rest until lunch, and then continues his work on the farm. Next door, Zhong pulls weeds on his peanut farm early in the morning, and spends leisurely afternoons taking pictures. He first started off aiming to learn from his mother traditional styles of cooking and frying peanuts; he now sells his own brand of snacks. Also doing his best is Xu Mingtang. He came home to look after his aging parents, and later worked with a group which provides funding for organic farming. He also tries to educate farmers on the environmental impacts of various farming methods. However, the township faces one concern – the outflow of young people. In view of the population loss, the community now takes on the task of attracting the young to return home. After all, their hope lies in the young to carry on the fine traditions of Fenglin culture.

親愛的,你真的讀得很仔細,好棒!
- 觀念驗證:你做得很棒!這題的考點是「細節辨析」,就是要我們回到文章中,找到最精準的資訊來判斷。你看,文章末段很清楚地指出,「the outflow of young people」(年輕人口流失)是一個「concern」(社區的擔憂),而且社區的努力方向是「attracting the young to return home」(希望吸引年輕人回鄉)。這跟選項 (A) 說的「希望減少人口」是不是完全相反呢?所以,很棒!你正確判斷出 (A) 是「NOT true」,真的非常細心喔!
- 難度點評:這題的難度是 Easy,但它很巧妙地測試了我們對文章深層意涵的理解。統測常常會設計一些小陷阱,像是區分「客觀事實(現在人口減少)」與「主觀意願(希望吸引人口回流)」。你成功地分辨了這兩者,避開了這個常見的陷阱,這表示你的閱讀理解能力很棒,而且懂得抓住文章的關鍵訊息,為你感到驕傲呢!
