警大研究所碩士班英文命題趨勢
從今年113年警大研究所英語試題的命題趨勢來看，明顯和去年的考題難度差不多。選擇題方面，和警察專業高度相關的僅有6題，分別是第1、2、5、6、7、10題，其他題目比較和日常生活（第4、8、9題）和國際新聞（第3題）相關，然而第8題考的是較冷僻一些的詞彙意思，因此平時考生就要有背誦同義詞的習慣。
另外閱讀測驗和克漏字的難度變得較簡單，就連一般高三學生也能答的出來，文法方面只需要具備中等的了解程度，閱讀測驗的難度也比去年簡單，但是選擇題卻有陷阱，因此考生也要來回在文章中仔細找出關鍵資訊，方能正確回答。
而翻譯題的難度具有一定深度，反而作文的作答方向還比較容易發揮，也就是當警察的利弊。平時考生最應該著重於翻譯題目的紮實訓練，才能在考場上發揮較好的實力。

三、Reading Comprehension and Cloze Test：（20分）
（一）Reading Comprehension：After reading the passage, choose the best answer to each question.（10分）
We have been cautioned that whether cell phone conversation is simply small talk with our friends or the making of a complex financial deal, when we are behind the wheel, it distracts us from the business at hand. Researchers have found out exactly why. The brain has limited capacity to handle multiple tasks simultaneously, leading to compromised processing of visual signals when engaged in a conversation. With visual and auditory signals competing, a driver’s ability to see and react to what’s ahead–even when gazing directly at a car, sign or pedestrian–is diminished. This phenomenon of “inattention blindness,” in which the brain doesn’t fully process what the eyes are taking in, helps explain how cell phone conversations distract drivers and contribute to an increasing number of accidents.
With over 330 million cell phone subscribers in the U.S., studies indicate that a significant portion of them use their phones behind the wheel. “Looking and seeing aren’t one and the same,” said University of Utah psychologist David Strayer, who has spent five years studying how the use of cellular phones affect driving. “Your eyes being directed at something doesn’t mean you’re processing it. Looking means paying attention. When you’re not attending to driving, you’re more of a hazard.” With a conversation diverting their attention from the road, drivers are unable to react quickly to sudden events such as a child running into their path or a light change. The damage occurs equally with handheld or hands-dree models. That suggests the problem lies in the distraction of the conversation, not in the holding of the phone.
有人向我們提出警告：關於手機的對話，無論僅僅是我們和朋友之間的輕鬆談話，還是複雜的金融交易，我們手握方向盤的時候，原本我們對駕駛行為的注意力就會受到分散，而研究人員已經找出具體原因，由於我們大腦同時處理多重任務的能力受到了侷限，我們忙著和他人對話的時候，大腦就會以折衷的方式處理視覺信號。如果視覺信號和聽覺信號相互競爭的話，司機看見前方事物並且作出反應的能力就會受到縮減，哪怕是直視前方的車輛、交通標誌、還是行人的時候也一樣。大腦無法對映入眼簾的事物進行全面的處理過程，這種現象就稱為“疏忽性失明”。如此一來，手機不但分散司機的注意力，也釀成越來越多事故的原因，都能夠藉著“疏忽性失明”這個現象得到解釋了。
在美國，由於擁有手機的消費者就多達有3億3000萬人以上，研究也指出有一大部分的消費者也會在開車的時候使用手機。作為猶他大學的心理學家——大衛.史特瑞爾，已花費五年的時間研究手機如何影響駕駛，他說：“看和看見是兩碼子事，完全不同。能引導你視線的東西，並不意味著能夠讓你的眼睛處理它，你看哪裡，注意力就在哪裡。不注意駕駛的時候，你自己就是更可怕的危險禍源。”。原本司機的注意力就在路途上，要是因為他們對話而轉移注意力的話，就無法快速對於突如其來的事件作出反應，像是小孩穿越馬路或者是輕微的變化事件等等。無論是手持手機，還是無須用手操作的手機，都同樣會釀成車禍，這意味著問題的根源就在於司機對話時的分心狀態，而不在於手持手機的狀態。

Alongside the search and rescue workers, police officers played a ___4___ role in maintaining order and coordinating rescue operations. Despite the dangers posed by aftershocks and unstable structures, these valiant professionals remained steadfast in their commitment to saving lives.
Notably, the indispensable contribution of rescue dogs cannot be overstated. Highly trained and incredibly resolute, these ___5___ heroes sniffed out survivors buried deep within the debris, guiding rescue teams to locations where human senses alone could not penetrate. Their unwavering dedication and fortitude exemplified the true spirit of service and sacrifice.
4月3日，一場毀滅性的地震就在台灣發生，對東海岸和花蓮市造成了重大的影響。___1___帶來了混亂和破壞，___1___那些現場應急人員，包含了警方和專業搜救隊，都紛紛拿出勇氣努力投入救援行動中，使得這一次的危機當中出現了希望的一絲曙光。發生於花蓮的地震___2____以猛烈的方式顯露出來，因此搜救團隊需要迅速作出決定性的行動。搜救人員___3___倒塌的大樓中，冒著生命風險將受困於瓦礫堆的生還者帶出來。由於分秒必爭的關係，這些勇氣可嘉的人員都在這一次的搜救任務當中，展現了可圈可點的勇氣和決心。
伴隨在這些搜救隊身旁的還有警察，他們維持秩序，還協調這次的救援行動，在這些過程中扮演了____4____角色。儘管餘震和不穩定的建築物構造都構成危險的根源，但是這些膽識過人的專業人員，依舊在投入這次救人的委身行動當中，展現出堅定不移的態度。

四、Essay：（30分） Write a short essay on the following topic. The length of the essay should be no less than 100 words and no more than 250 words.
The pros and cons of being a police officer -from the perspective of the general public.
For some youngsters, among all the sorts of vocations, being a police officer might be an attractive choice. Here are some reasons: First, the higher pay of police transcends that of most enterprises, making the young generation motivated to challenge themselves after they accomplish miscellaneous tasks. If they wish to serve a community by showing great sense of justice, after they withstand some trainings given from Taiwan Police University, they may devote themselves to maintaining people’s sense of security by exerting sufficient professions like subduing bandits. Also, it’s predictable when they can afford to purchase expensive items such as a car and even a house if they accumulate their savings by serving people for twenty successive years. In other words, unlike common enterprises, such a vocation guarantees long-term economic stability without worrying police officers about unemployment.
However, there are also a few drawbacks that make civilians frown. At times, we may hear contingencies about scandals of police officers. For instance, a minority of superiors may abuse their powers by verbally bullying young police officers. What’s more, they even get drunken in feasts and get administrative punishment they deserve in the end. If these negative impressions can’t be removed by National Police Agency, everyone would doubt if these police officers may truly maintain their incarnation of justice. If several gangsters commit crimes while some police officers get intoxicated, that’s the moment when good fellows are in danger! Therefore, police officers need to discipline themselves at any time.
