1. 創意布條最近在夜市成了有效的廣告工具,也刺激了買氣的成長｡
答案：Creative banners have recently become an effective advertising tool in night markets and have also stimulated the growth of sales.。略解：「最近」用recently，時態需用現在完成式（have become/stimulated）；「創意布條」譯為creative banners，「夜市」為night markets，「買氣」為sales（避免誤譯為buying atmosphere）；兩個並列謂語（have become與have stimulated）語法正確，語意完整覆蓋「廣告工具」與「刺激買氣」，符合英文表達習慣。 報錯

答案：Some of them seem meaningless, but they are quite eye-catching and often bring people a knowing smile.。略解：「看似無意義」譯為seem meaningless（系表結構正確）；「引人注目」用eye-catching（形容詞作表語，符合英文習慣，避免誤譯為attract people's eyes）；「會心的一笑」為a knowing smile（固定搭配，knowing表「心照不宣的」，避免誤譯為an understanding laugh）；用but體現轉折關係，and連接「引人注目」與「帶來會心一笑」，語法完整，語意達意，符合中譯英「準確、通順」要求。 報錯

二､英文作文(占2 0 分)
說明︰1.依提示在｢答案卷｣上寫一篇英文作文｡ 2. 文長至少120個單詞(words)｡
提示:右表顯示美國18 至29 歲的青年對不同類別之新聞的關注度統計｡請依據圖表內容寫一篇英文作文,文長至少120 個單詞｡文分二段,第一段描述圖表內容,並指出關注度較高及偏低的類別;第二段則描述在這六個新聞類別中,你自己較為關注及較不關注的新聞主題分別為何,並說明理由｡
答案：
The table shows the level of attention paid to different news categories by American young people aged 18 to 29. Among the six categories, "environment and natural disasters" has the highest attention rate—nearly 65% of the youth care about it. In contrast, "arts and culture" has the lowest attention, with only around 20% showing interest. Other categories fall in between: "health and fitness" and "technology" are moderately concerned, each with about 50% attention, while "education and schools" and "politics" are less popular, with attention rates of roughly 30% and 25% respectively.
For me, I pay the most attention to "technology news" and the least to "arts and culture" news. Technology news helps me keep up with the latest inventions, such as new AI applications or renewable energy technologies, which are closely related to my future career plans in engineering. On the other hand, I rarely follow arts and culture news because I find it hard to connect with topics like art exhibitions or classical music performances—my free time is usually spent on learning programming rather than engaging in artistic activities. This choice aligns with my personal interests and long-term goals.。
略解：第一段完整描述圖表核心數據（關注度最高：環境與天然災害，最低：藝術與文化，其餘類別數據補充），數據表述準確（百分比、類別對應）；第二段明確自身「關注科技新聞」（理由：與工程職業規劃相關）、「不關注藝術文化新聞」（理由：無興趣且時間用於程式學習），理由具體且切合個人實際，文長超120詞，句構多樣（如從句、插入語），詞彙準確（renewable energy、programming），符合圖表描述與個人觀點結合的要求。 報錯
