- Wood is a natural composite material with excellent mechanical properties and low density. It is used for generations in
numerous applications, such as building, construction, transportation, and landscape design. Some wood is hard, containing
fibrous tissue. These fibers are robust in tension and immersed in matrix lignin to resist compression. Wood is a
heterogeneous and anisotropic material with a complex structure covering various length scales. This anisotropic property
explains the dependency of the mechanical properties on its material directions [Radial, Tangential, Longitudinal] and differs
among species.

- Soil is a natural resource which most of us either ignore or take for granted. Yet the thin layer of 'dirt' that covers much of
the surface of the Earth is vital to the environment and invaluable to our societies. However, soil quality is declining in many
areas, meaning that it is less able to perform its essential functions. One area of concern is the effect of soil degradation on
the climate, and vice versa.

這是一題關於土壤重要性、價值及其面臨挑戰的敘述題,要求考生理解並翻譯其核心概念。
解題思路:
- 理解核心概念: 題目首先指出土壤常被忽視,但其對環境和社會極為重要。接著說明土壤品質下降的問題,以及土壤退化對氣候的影響,反之亦然。
- 辨識關鍵術語:
natural resource: 自然資源。ignore or take for granted: 忽略或視為理所當然。thin layer of 'dirt': 薄薄一層「泥土」。vital to the environment: 對環境至關重要。invaluable to our societies: 對我們的社會極為寶貴。soil quality is declining: 土壤品質正在下降。essential functions: 基本功能。soil degradation: 土壤退化。

- Forests and climate change are deeply connected, as forest loss and degradation is both a cause and an effect of our
changing climate. When forests are destroyed, they release large quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which
further exacerbates the climate crisis. The agriculture, forestry and land-use sectors are responsible for 22% of global
greenhouse gas emissions, and deforestation is a major driver. But forests are also a climate solution. Forests are the largest
storehouse of carbon after the ocean. Their ability to absorb and lock away carbon, buffer communities from climate impacts
like floods and provide food and livelihoods for millions of people is needed more than ever in a warming world. It's crucial
that action to protect and restore forests is part of the global response to the climate crisis.

這是一題關於森林與氣候變遷之間關聯性的長篇敘述題,要求考生理解並翻譯其核心概念。
解題思路:
- 理解核心概念: 題目闡述了森林與氣候變遷的雙向關係:森林喪失是氣候變遷的原因之一(釋放碳),也是氣候變遷的結果(退化)。同時,森林也是解決氣候變遷的方案(碳匯、緩衝災害、提供生計),因此保護和恢復森林至關重要。
- 辨識關鍵術語:
deeply connected: 緊密相連。forest loss and degradation: 森林喪失與退化。cause and an effect: 原因與結果。changing climate: 變遷中的氣候。release large quantities of carbon dioxide: 釋放大量二氧化碳。exacerbates the climate crisis: 加劇氣候危機。agriculture, forestry and land-use sectors: 農業、林業和土地利用部門。global greenhouse gas emissions: 全球溫室氣體排放。deforestation: 森林砍伐。major driver: 主要驅動因素。climate solution: 氣候解決方案。largest storehouse of carbon: 最大的碳儲存庫。absorb and lock away carbon: 吸收並鎖住碳。buffer communities from climate impacts: 緩衝社區免受氣候衝擊。provide food and livelihoods: 提供食物和生計。warming world: 暖化中的世界。
