In
She left home. Before long, she was disappointed and unable to find a job, so she took to the streets to do everything she could to 22 money. Many years passed by, her father died, her mother grew 23 , and the daughter became more and more entrenched (不易改的) in her way of life.
No contact was made between mother and daughter during these years. The mother, having 24 her daughter’s whereabouts, went to the poor part of the city in 25 of her daughter. She stopped at each of the rescue missions with a simple 26 . “Would you allow me to 27 this picture?” It was a picture of the smiling, gray-haired mother with a handwritten 28 at the bottom, “I love you still…come home!”
One day the daughter wandered into a rescue mission for a hot meal. She sat 29 listening to the service, all the while letting her 30 wander over to the bulletin board. There she saw the picture and thought, could that be my mother?
She couldn’t 31 until the service was over. She stood and went to look. It was her mother, and there were those words, “I love you still…come home!” 32 she stood in front of the picture, she wept. It was too 33 to be true.
It was night, but she was so 34 by the message that she started walking home. 35 the time she arrived it was early in the morning. She was afraid and 36 her way timidly. As she knocked, the door 37 open on its own. She thought someone must have broken into the house. Concerned for her mother’s 38 , the young woman ran to the bedroom and shook her mother awake and said, “It’s me! It’s me! I’m home!”
The mother couldn’t believe her eyes. They fell into each other’s arms. The daughter said, “I was so worried and 39 someone had broken in.” The mother replied gently, “No, dear. From the day you left, that door has never been 40 .”

第二部分：閱讀理解（第一節20小題，第二節5小題，每題2分，滿分50分）
第一節：閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
A
I was shopping in the supermarket when I heard a young voice.
“Mom, come here! There’s this lady here my size!”
The mother rushed to her son; then she turned to me to apologize.
I smiled and told her, “It’s okay.” Then I talked to the boy, “Hi, Mickey, I’m Darry Kramer. How are you?”
He studied me from head to toe, and asked, “Are you a little mommy?”
“Yes, I have a son,” I answered.
“Why are you so little?” he asked.
“It’s the way I was born,” I said. “Some people are little. Some are tall. I’m just not going to grow any bigger.” After I answered his other questions, I shook the boy’s hand and left.
My life as a little person is filled with stories like that. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents.
It takes only one glance to see my uniqueness. I stand three feet nine inches tall. I was born an achondroplasia dwarf (侏儒). Despite this, I did all the things other kids did when I was growing up.
I didn’t realize how short I was until I started school. Some kids picked on me, calling me names. Then I knew. I began to hate the first day of school each year. New students would always stare at me as I struggled to climb the school bus stairs.
But I learned to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life. I decided to make my uniqueness an advantage rather than a disadvantage. What I lacked in height, I made up for in personality.
I’m 47 now, and the stares have not diminished as I’ve grown older. People are amazed when they see me driving. I try to keep a good attitude. When people are rude, I remind myself, “Look what else I have---a great family, nice friends.”
It’s the children’s questions that make my life special. I enjoy answering their questions. My hope is that I will encourage them to accept their peers (a person of the same age, class, position, etc.), whatever size and shape they come in, and treat them with respect.

The term IQ, or Intelligence Quotient, generally describes a score on a test that rates the subject’s cognitive(認知的) ability as compared to the general population. IQ tests use a standardized scale with 100 as the median score. On most tests, a score between 90 and 110 or the median plus or minus 10 indicates average intelligence. A score above 130 indicates exceptional intelligence and a score below 70 may indicate mental retardation (智力遲鈍). Like their predecessors, modern tests do take into account the age of a child when determining an IQ score. Children are graded relative to the population at their developmental level.
IQ tests are designed to measure your general ability to solve problems and understand concepts. This includes reasoning ability, problem-solving ability, the ability to perceive relationships between things and the ability to store and regain information. IQ tests measure this general intellectual ability in a number of different ways. They may test: the ability to visualize control of shapes; the ability to solve problems；the ability to complete sentences or recognize words when letters have been rearranged or removed; the ability to recall things presented either visually or aurally（聽覺上）.
Most people perform better on one type of question than on others, but experts have determined that people who are good at in one category do similarly well in the other categories, and if someone does poorly in any one category, he/she also does poorly in the others. Based on this, these experts theorize there is one general element of intellectual ability that determines other specific cognitive abilities. The best tests, therefore, feature questions from many categories of intellectual ability so that the test isn’t weighted toward one specific skill.
IQ tests measure your ability to understand ideas, not the quantity of your knowledge; learning new information does not automatically increase your IQ. Learning may exercise your mind, however, which could help you to develop greater cognitive skills, but scientists do not fully understand this relationship. The scientists are still in the dark about the connection between learning and mental ability, as are the workings of the brain and the nature of intellectual ability. Intellectual ability does seem to depend more on genetic factors than on environmental factors, but most experts agree that environment plays some significant role in its development.
45. In determining an IQ score, _______________.
A. the subject’s cognitive ability is compared with his/her former performance
B. the children’s age is taken into consideration
C. 100 is treated as the standard score
D. children of various developmental levels are tested
46. What can we learn from the third paragraph?
A. A person who does poorly in one category is not necessarily poor in other categories.
B. Experts got the conclusion that learning new information can automatically increase your IQ.
C. The general intellectual ability can determine specific cognitive abilities to some extent.
D. Whether a person can do well in one category is not decided by IQ.
47. What is known to be certain about intellectual ability?
A. The relationship between learning and intellectual ability.
B. The connection between the workings of the brain and the nature of intellectual ability.
C. Environment does play a role in the development of intellectual ability.
D. Genetic factors are the determining factors of intellectual ability.

Seemingly out of nowhere, swine flu has caused confirmed deaths in 12 countries as of April 30. It has sent a wave of alarm around the world. Governments are trying to find ways to prevent further outbreaks. The World Health Organization has raised its swine flu global threat level to five out of six.
People may be familiar with bird flu, but they know little about swine flu. Swine flu is a contagious (傳染性的) respiratory (呼吸的) disease in pigs. It is caused by a type-A influenza virus.
Humans can also catch swine flu. The virus causes regular outbreaks in pigs, but people usually do not catch it. However, there have been cases of the virus spreading to people, and then from one person to another.
The symptoms of swine flu are similar to the common flu. They include fever, lethargy (無精打采), lack of appetite, coughing, runny nose, sore throat, nausea (惡心), and vomiting (嘔吐). The high proportion of young adults among the deaths is one of several mysteries about this virus. Most of the dead had lung damage. What caused it is not yet known.
The virus spreads the same way the common flu does. When an infected person coughs or sneezes around another person, the latter is put at risk. People can get the disease by touching something with the flu virus on it and then touching their mouth, nose or eyes.
There are medicines to treat swine flu. Doctors suggest using anti-viral drugs. They keep the virus from reproducing inside the body.
Although there are no vaccines (疫苗) for it now, several everyday steps can help prevent the spread of the virus: washing hands frequently; avoiding close contact with people who are sick; and avoiding touching surfaces that might have the virus on it.
People may worry
that they will get swine flu from eating or preparing pork. In fact, you cannot
catch the virus from pork products if they have been properly prepared and
cooked. Cooking food at temperatures of
52. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. keeping us away from other people
B. washing hands frequently
C. avoiding close contact with sick people
D. avoiding touching surfaces that might have the virus on them
54. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?
A.
B. People in
C. People in
D. Swine flu has
seriously affected people’s life in
55. What can we infer from the passage?
A. At present there still aren’t effective vaccines for swine flu.

C. From now on, people can’t eat pork if they want to be safe.
D. All of the dead killed by swine flu had lung damage.

Cole Bettles had
been rejected by a number of universities when he received an e-mail from the
“They were like ‘Oh my God, that’s so awesome (棒的)’,” Bettles said. Right before he got in bed, he checked his e-mail one last time and found another message saying the school had made a mistake and his application had been denied.
In fact, all 28,000 students turned away from UC San Diego, in one of the toughest college entrance seasons on record, had received the same incorrect message. The students’ hopes had been raised and then dashed (破滅) in a cruel twist that shows the danger of instant communications in the Internet age.
UCSD admissions director Mae Brown called it an “administrative error” but refused to say who had made the mistake, or if those responsible would be disciplined (受訓).
The e-mail, which began, “We’re thrilled that you’ve been admitted to UC San Diego, and we’re showcasing (展示) our beautiful campus on Admit Day,” was sent to the full 46,000 students who had applied, instead of just the 18,000 who got in, Brown said.
The error was discovered almost immediately by her staff, who sent an apology within hours.
“It was really thrilling for a few hours; now he’s crushed (壓垮),” said Cole’s mother, Tracy Bettles. “It’s really tough on them.”
The admissions director said she was in the office on Monday until midnight answering e-mails and phone calls from disappointed students and their parents. She said she took full responsibility for the error. “We accessed the wrong database. We recognize the incredible pain receiving this false encouragement caused. It was not our intent (意圖).”
