第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）
第一節 閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的 A、B、C和D項中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
A
An unemployed man is desperate to
support his family. His wife watches TV all day and his three teenage kids have
dropped out of high school to hang around with the local toughs. He applies for
a cleaner’s job at a large firm and easily passes an aptitude test. The human
resources manager tells him, “You will be hired at minimum wage, $5.15 an hour.
Let me have your e-mail address so that we can contact you easily. Our system
will automatically e-mail you all the forms and advise you when to start and
where to report on your first day.” Greatly surprised, the man said that he has
neither a computer nor an e-mail address. To this, the manager replies, “You
must understand that to a company like ours that means you virtually do not
exist. Without an e-mail address you can hardly expect to be employed by a high
tech firm. Good day.”
Unable to believe what he hears,
the man leaves. Not knowing where to turn and having $10 in his wallet, he walks past a farmers’ market and
sees a stand selling beautiful tomatoes. He buys a crate (柳條箱), carries it to a busy corner and displays
the tomatoes. In less than two hours he sells all the tomatoes and makes 100%
profit. From that day on, he repeats the tomato business and becomes
increasingly successful as time goes on. By the end of the fifth year he owns a
fleet of nice trucks and a warehouse. The tomato company has put hundreds of
homeless and jobless people to work and the business grossed a million dollars.
Planning for the future, he
decides to buy some life insurance. The insurance adviser asks him for his
e-mail address in order to send the final documents electronically. When the
man replies that he doesn’t have time to mess with a computer and has no e-mail
address, the insurance salesman is surprised, “ No computer? No Internet? Just
think where you would be if you’d had all of that five years ago!” “Ha! If I’d
had all of that five years ago, I would be sweeping floors at Microsoft and
making $5.15 an hour!” the man replies.
56. The
man’s kids drop out of school because ____.
A. they want to hang around with
the local toughs
B. their mother watches TV all day
C. their father is only a cleaner
D. their family is very poor
57. The
man applies for a cleaner’s job ____.
A. but he can’t accept it because
the pay is too low
B. and he gets it though the pay
is only $5.15 an hour
C. but he is turned down because
he doesn’t have an e-mail address
D. but he misses the chance
because they fail to contact him
58. The
man’s tomatoes sell well because ____.
A. the tomatoes look very
beautiful
B. he has chosen the right place
to sell them
C. many jobless people help him
D. the tomatoes are contained in
beautiful crates
59. From the
conversation between the man and the insurance salesman in the last paragraph
we can infer that ____.
A. the man will buy a computer
soon
B. it’s very easy to do tomato
business
C. one does not necessarily have
an e-mail address to be successful
D. the man is not able to buy any
life insurance without an e-mail address
B
Have
you ever thought, “I wish I could take a year off and just travel around the
world”? Well, three lucky American teenagers were able to do just that. The
teens ―- two males and one female ---- got an all-expenses paid, yearlong hike
to five continents.
This
trip didn’t include any five-star hotels or shopping funs. Eighteen-year-old
Jamie Fiel from Keller, Texas,
17-year-old Arsen Ewing from Canyon, California,
and 16-year-old Tyler Robinson from Lincoln,
Massachusetts, didn’t expect
fancy treatment. They signed up for the experience of a lifetime, which
included hard work, often uncomfortable accommodations, and encounters (遇到) with some of nature’s most
dangerous animals and environments.
Jamie,
Arsen, and Tyler were among hundreds of high school kids nominated (提名) by their science teachers to
take this trip. Earthwatch Institute sponsored (贊助) this adventure. Each year, Earthwatch employs thousands
of volunteers worldwide to help with scientific research projects.
The
group went all around the world to get a close look at the most pressing
environmental issues of our time. Their assignments were as varied as their
locations, and included measuring and attending pink flamingos in Kenya’s Great Rift Valley, and tracking giant
sea turtles in Costa Rica.
As
they worked with the Earthwatch scientists, Jamie, Arsen, and Tyler began to
understand that we are at a critical moment in the life of our planet. Time for
change is running out. As the teens went from country to country and witnessed
different environmental dangers and challenges, they understood that solutions
to important environmental issues start with the power of one person's actions.
They realized that each of them can make a difference.
60.
These teenagers went on the journey around the world _____.
A.
to experience the most serious environmental problems on the earth
B. to bring the
kindness of America
to the other parts of the world
C. to go on sightseeing
around the world
D. to call on more
teenagers to join Earthwatch Institute
61.
What’s true about their journey?
A. They had to pay for
their journey on their own expense.
B. They often had to
move from one hotel to another.
C. They had to take
great pains to collect environmental information.
D. They received a warm
welcome every time they arrived at a new place.
62.
It can be inferred that Earthwatch Institute could be ____.
A. an international
university that takes in students from all over the world
B. a TV station that
makes programmes on the beautiful scenery of the earth
C. a travel agency that
organizes adventure trips specially for school children
D. an organization that
brings science to life for people concerned about earth’s environment
63.
What did they these teenagers learn from the journey?
A. It was high time
that people protected the environment.
B. Long journey was not
suitable for school children.
C. It should take the
whole world to help the children.
D. Environmental
problems can be solved if school children take part.

Years ago, when I started looking for my
first job, wise advisers said, “Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take
you further than any amount of experience.” How right they were!
“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm,”
wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang on there when
the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, “I can do it!” when
others shout, “No, you can’t!” It took years and years for the early work of
Barbara Mc Clintock, a geneticist(遺傳學家)
who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she
didn’t let up on (放松)
her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought
of stopping.
We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic
wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such
youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, cellist (大提琴家) Pablo Casals would start his day by playing
Bach. As the music flowed through his fingers, his bent shoulders would
straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. As author and poet Samuel once
wrote, “Years make the skin old, but to give up enthusiasm makes the soul
old.”
Enthusiastic people also love what they do,
regardless of money, title or power. Patricia Mcllrath, retired director of the
Missouri Repertory Theater in Kansas
City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She
replied, “My father, a lawyer, long ago told me, I never made a penny until I
stopped working for money.”
If we cannot do what we love as a fulltime
career, we can do it as a hobby. Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan,
was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended her sadness that had
troubled her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic
to say, “I am persuaded to call Layton
a genius.”
We can’t afford to waste tears on
“might-have-beens”. We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after
“what-can-be”. We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, with all our
senses―finding pleasure in the sweet smell of a backyard garden, the simple
picture of a six-year-old, and the beauty of a rainbow.
68. The
passage mainly shows us ____.
A. enthusiasm leads to everything
B. enthusiasm helps us to succeed
to a greater degree
C. enthusiasm makes us experience
more life
D. we can do nothing without
enthusiasm
69. From
the example of the Nobel Prize winner Barbara Mc Clitock, we may find ____.
A. enthusiasm can encourage us in
difficult times
B. enthusiastic people always get
a deep pleasure from work
C. you can’t make any achievement
if you have no enthusiasm
D. enthusiastic people are sure to
gain great fame in the end
70. The
underlined sentence in Paragraph Three suggests ____.
A. time and tide wait for no man
B. we grow old
as time goes on
C. people feel young with enthusiasm D. our soul becomes old
with enthusiasm
71. The
main idea of the last paragraph is ____.
A. we should try heart and soul to win
what we want
B. enthusiasm can give us
pleasure, though we have to sweat
C. we have not enough money to buy
what we need
D. enthusiasm with sweat is what
we need

第二節 閱讀表達
閱讀下面短文，并根據短文后面的要求答題。（請注意問題后的字數要求）
Experts are finding your standard first aid
response may be the worst thing you can do in an emergency. Here’s how to
update your first aid kit.
CUTS AND SCRAPES
When the skin isn’t broken, it’s hard to beat
iodine (碘酒) for killing bacteria(細菌). 74. _____________doctors use it to clean
before surgery. But when there’s a cut, full ? strength iodine and rubbing
alcohol can be harmful to skin cells, preventing healing. Putting iodine on
cuts and wounds kills bacteria, but it won’t clean the wound. The most
effective way is washing the wound with water.
BURNS
If you spread some butter on the burn to ease
the pain, it isn’t a good idea. Butter was thought to cool the burn, but it can
cause infection and create and environment for bacterial growth. Run the
burn under cool water immediately to help remove the heat and put an end to the
damaging process. Wrap the burn with a bandage, and keep it clean and dry.
If blisters (水泡) form, don’t break them.
POISONING
When a child swallows anything poisonous,
parents probably think they’re well prepared if ipecac (催吐劑) is on hand. Wrong. Ipecac was thought to be
a good way to treat a child who had swallowed a poisonous substance, but not
any more because it doesn’t always remove the toxic substance (有毒物質). That may cause dehydration (脫水) and prevent doctors from giving other
treatments.
EXCESS BLEEDING
Everyone learns how to stop bleeding with a
tourniquet (止血帶). But studies show this method
causes more harm than good. Tourniquets can increase the risk of tissue damage
or even the loss of a limb. Apply direct pressure to the wound. Simply place a
clean cloth on the wound and press firmly; don’t remove the cloth, event if it
gets black. If necessary, add more cloths. If that’s not enough, you can
further slow the blood flow by applying pressure to the main artery (動脈) of the upper arm or leg.
72．What is the best title of
the passage? (Please answer within 6 words.)
73．Which sentence in the
passage can be replaced by the following one?
However, by
studying we know this method does more harm instead of doing more good.
74．Please fill in the blank
with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.
(Please answer
within 5 words.)
75．Translate the underlined
sentence in the passage into Chinese.

第二節 書面表達
In the modern world, it is important to be well-informed. Success in
many fields depends on getting the latest information. At the same time,
failure in policy-making often results from the lack of necessary information.
There are many ways of getting information. We can read newspapers
and news magazines. We can also listen to the news on the radio and watch it on
television. Now more and more people surf the Internet for various kinds of
information.
It is believed that information will play a
more and more important part in the future.
