　　Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage

　　Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to cope with major life changes and daily hassles (困難). People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, reveal that the presence of social support helps people fend off (擋開) illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.

　　Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting (轉移…注意力) us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support—financial aid,material resources, and needed services—that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.

　　1. Interpersonal relationships are important because ________.

　　A) they are indispensable to people’s social well-being

　　B) they awaken people’s desire to exchange resources

　　Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.

　　The French word renaissance means rebirth. It was first used in 1855 by the historian Jules Michelet in his History of France, then adopted by historians of culture, by art historians, and eventually by music historians, all of whom applied it to European culture during the 150 years spanning 1450-1600. The concept of rebirth was appropriate to this period of European history because of the renewed interest in ancient Greek and Roman culture that began in Italy and then spread throughout Europe. Scholars and artists of this period wanted to restore the learning and ideals of the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome. To these scholars this meant a return to human. Fulfillment in life became a desirable goal, and expressing the entire range of human emotions and enjoying the pleasures of the senses were no longer frowned on. Artists and writers now turned to religious subject matter and sought to make their works understandable and appealing.

　　These changes in outlook deeply affected the musical culture of the Renaissance period --- how people thought about music as well as the way music was composed and experienced. They could see the architectural monuments, sculptures, plays, and poems that were being rediscovered, but they could not actually hear ancient music --- although they could read the writings of classical philosophers, poets, essayists, and music theorists that were becoming available in translation. They learned about the power of ancient music to move the listener and wondered why modern music did not have the same effect. For example, the influential religious leader Bernardino Cirillo expressed disappointment with the learned music of his time. He urged musicians to follow the example of the sculptors, painters, architects, and scholars who had rediscovered ancient art and literature.

　　The musical Renaissance in Europe was more a general cultural movement and state of mindthan a specific set of musical techniques. Furthermore, music changed so rapidly during this century and a half-though at different rates in different countries---that we cannot define a single Renaissance style.

　　62. What does the author mean by using the word “eventually” in line 3?

　　A) That music historians used the term “Renaissance” after the other historians did

　　B) That most music historians used the term “Renaissance”

　　C) The term “Renaissance” became widely used by art historians but not by music historians

　　D) That music historians used the term “Renaissance” very differently than it had been used by Jules Michelet

　　63. The phrase "frowned on" in line 9 is closest in meaning to

　　A) given up B) forgotten about C) argued about D) disapproved of

　　64. It can be inferred from the passage that thinkers of the Renaissance were seeking a rebirth of

　　A) communication among artists across Europe

　　B) spirituality in everyday life

　　C) a cultural emphasis on human values

　　D) religious themes in art that would accompany the traditional secular themes

　　65. According to the passage, why was Bemardino Cirillo disappointed with the music of his time?

　　A) It was not complex enough to appeal to musicians.

　　B) It had little emotional impact on audiences.

　　C) It was too dependent on the art and literature of his time.

　　D) It did not contain enough religious themes.

　　66. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage as a reason for the absence of a single Renaissance musical style?

　　A) The musical Renaissance was defined by technique rather than style.

　　B) The musical Renaissance was too short to give rise to a new musical style.

　　C) Renaissance musicians adopted the styles of both Greek and Roman musicians.

　　D) During the Renaissance, music never remained the same for very long.
