I played a racquetball game against my cousin Ed last week. It was one of the most ___1___ and tiring games I’ve ever had. When Ed first phoned and ___2___ we play, I laughed quietly, figuring on an ___3___ victory. After all, Ed’s idea of ___4___ has always been nothing more ___5___ than lifting a fork to his mouth. ___6___ I can remember, Ed’s been the least physically fit member in the family, and ___7___ proud of himself. His big stomach has always ballooned out between his T-shirt and trousers. Although the family often ___8___ about that, Ed refused to buy a ___9___ T-shirt or to lose weight. So when Ed ___10___ for our game not only with the bottom of his shirt gathered inside his trousers but also with a stomach you could hardly ___11___, I was so surprised that I was ___12___. My cousin must have made an effort to get himself into shape. ___13___, at the point in our game when I’d have predicted(預計) the score to be about 9 to 1 in my favor, it was ___14___ 7 to 9 — and Ed was ___15___. The sudden realization was painful. We ___16___ to play like two mad men. When the score was 16 up, I was having serious ___17___ about staying alive until 21 years old, let alone ___18___ that many points. When the game finally ended, both of us were lying flat on our backs, too tired to ___19___. In a way, I think we both won: I the game, but cousin Ed my ___20___.
1. A. encouraging B. hopeless C. surprising D. regular
2. A. declared B. mentioned C. persuaded D. suggested
3. A. unforgettable B. unexpected C. easy D. early
4. A. exercise B. preparation C. joy D. fitness
5. A. time-saving B. comfortable C. suitable D. effort-making
6. A. As soon as B. As long as C. When D. Since
7. A. strangely B. personally C. reasonably D. eagerly
8. A. cared B. forgot C. quarreled D. joked
9. A. clean B. larger C. straight D. darker
10. A. set out B. got ready C. arrived D. returned
11. A. notice B. admire C. believe D. measure
12. A. nervous B. curious C. careless D. speechless
13. A. After all B. As a result C. Above all D. At last
14. A. mistakenly B. then C. instead D. naturally
15. A. leading B. coming C. waiting D. counting
16. A. pretended B. stopped C. continued D. decided
17. A. thoughts B. doubts C. situations D. problems

1---20 CDCAD BADBC ADBCA CBADB
本文主要講述 Ed 的身材變化及他和“我”之間的一場結果出乎意料的網球比賽。
1. C。根據下文描述的比賽過程和結果可知此題選 C 最佳。
2. D。根據語境和 we play 中的動詞時態可知，此題應填 D，因為動詞 suggest(建議)后的賓語從句通常用“should+動詞原形”(should可省略)。
3. C。根據前句說的 I laughed quietly，可推知這應該“是一場很容易(easy)打贏的比賽”。
4. A。比較四個選項，只有 exercise 與比賽、鍛煉之類的活動有點聯系。
5. D。此處的語境是(注意作者對 Ed 在體力方面的輕視)：Ed 關于 exercise 的想法只不過就像把叉子送到嘴里一樣不費力。effort-making 由 make an effort 變來，其意為“費勁”；nothing more than 是習語，意為“不多于”、“與…一樣”。
6. B。as long as 有兩個意思是：一是作為習語，表示“只要”；二是表示作為自由短語，意為“與…一樣長或一樣久”。此處的as long as 用作自由短語，as long as I can remember 意為“與我能記憶的一樣久”，即“在我的記憶中”或“憑我的記憶”。
7. A。雖然 Ed 體力狀況在一家人中最差，但卻莫名其妙(strangely)地為自己感到驕傲。
8. D。由于 Ed 太胖，他的肚子就像一只氣球，所以家人經常就此開他的玩笑(joke about that)。
9. B。上文講到 His big stomach has always ballooned out between his T-shirt and trousers(他的大肚子總是像一只氣球一樣突出在汗衫與長褲之間)，這說明他的 T-shirt 不夠大。
10. C。Ed 身材的變化應是在他到來(arrived)之際才能發現。
11. A。此句主要是描述 Ed 身材的變化之大：他的襯衣扎在褲子里，肚子幾乎讓人看不出來(a stomach you could hardly notice)。
12. D。這里指 Ed 身材變化如此之大，簡直令作者驚訝得說不出話來(speechless)。
13. B。因后面的內容講的正是 Ed 因改變體形而在比賽中曾一度領先的結果，故選 as a result。
14. C。作者原認為會9:1自己領先，而結果卻是7:9，故用 instead 表示后者取代了前者。
15. A。下文說 The sudden realization was painful，說明比賽的結果不是像作者的那樣自己領先，而是 Ed 領先。
16. C。前面講比分為 7 to 9，而后面又說比分達到16平，這說明比賽在繼續(continued)。
17. B。此處的語境是：當比分達到16平時，我便懷疑自己能否活到21歲——這充分說明比賽的激烈程度以及作者的疲憊程度。
18. A。let alone scoring that many points 的意思“更不用說還要得那么多分”，其中的 that 為副詞，相當于 so。
19. D。上文說“當比賽結束的時候，我們倆人平躺在地上”，同時比較四個選項，只有 move 最合語境，即“累得動都不能動”。
20. B。這兩句為省略句，其完整形式為：I won the game, but cousin Ed won my respect.

A few days ago I asked my sons’ governess（女家庭教師）Julia to come into my study. “Be seated, Julia, ”I said, “Let’s settle our accounts. I guess you most likely need some money, but maybe you’re too polite to mention it. Now then, we agreed on thirty dollars a month...”
“Forty.”
“No, thirty. I made a note of it. I always pay our governess thirty. Well, um, you’ve been here two months, so...”
“Two months and five days.”
“Exactly two months. I made a special note of it. That means you have sixty dollars coming to you. Take off nine Sundays... you know you didn’t work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks. And three holidays... ”Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but - not a word.
“Three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars. Four days Tom was sick and there were no lessons, as you were occupied only with Dick. Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch. Twelve and seven - nineteen. Take nineteen off ... that leaves. hmm.... forty one dollars. Correct？”
Julia’s left eye reddened with tears welling up. Her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but - still not a word.
“Around New Year’s Day you broke a teacup and a saucer; take off two dollars. The cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but- forget it. When didn’t I take a loss! Then, due to your neglect （疏忽）, Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket; take away ten. Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dick’s shoes. You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it. So, that means five more dollars off. The tenth of January I gave ten dollars.”
“You didn’t. ”sobbed Julia.
“But I made a note of it.”
“Well... if you say so.”
“Take twenty seven from forty one -that leaves fourteen.”
Both her eyes were filled with tears. Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose. Poor girl!
“Only once was I given any money,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “and that was by your wife. Three dollars, nothing more.”
“Really? You see now, and I didn’t know that! Take three from fourteen.. leaves eleven. Here’s your money, my dear. Three, three, three, one and one. Here it is !”
I handed her eleven dollars. She took them and pocketed them.
“Merci （法語: 謝謝）,”she whispered.
I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room. I was overcome with anger. “For what, this - ‘merci’?” I asked.
“For the money. ”
“But you know I’ve cheated you - robbed you ! I have actually stolen from you ! Why this‘merci’？”
“In my other places they didn’t give me anything at all.”
“They didn’t give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach you... I m going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you... Is it really possible to be so spineless （懦弱）?Why didn’t you protest? Why were you silent? Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws（爪）—to be such a fool?”
Embarrassed, she smiled. And I could read her expression,“It is possible.”
I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and, to her great surprise, gave her the eighty dollars. She murmured her little“merci”several times and went out. I looked after her and thought,“How easy it is to crush the weak in this world !”
While talking to Julia, the wrier expected from her ________.
A. a protest B. gratitude
C. obedience D. an explanation
What shocked the writer was Julia’s ________.
A. nervousness in front of her boss
B. acceptance of injustice
C. shyness when talking about money
D. reluctance to express herself
The writer said, “Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws?” He was actually telling the governess ________.
A. to be more aggressive
B. to be more careful in her work
C. to protect her right
D. to live independently
At the end of the story, the writer said,“ How easy it is to crush the weak in this world!”to show ________.

I was born in Korea, and my family came over to America when I was 10. I’m the middle child of three girls, and my parents moved so we would experience a different life. They did it for our education and to give us more of a chance than they had. We moved to Staten Island, and I went to the High School of Performing Arts in New York City. My parents didn’t agree with me when I told them I wanted to be an actress. My father suggested I try premed(醫學預科). But after they saw me in plays they were really proud.
I graduated from Boston University and was doing theater in New York when I got cast in a Korean miniseries(電視連續劇). We started shooting the show in New York, and then went to Korea to finish it up. They said I would be there for three weeks, but it ended up being two months. The miniseries took off, and overnight, I became recognizable. It was sort of like Lost. It blew up. Then amazing projects were offered to me. I kept thinking, “ I’ll do one more and then go back to the US.” I ended up staying for seven years.
Some people described me as the Julia Roberts of Korea, which is a bad comparison because she’s the queen of romantic comedy. I became famous in Korea for a dramatic role in a film called Shiri. I played a “La Femme Nikita” type of role. I was the girl with gun—all action．
( )65. The writer’s parents moved to America so as to _________.
