An earthquake hit Kashmir on Oct. 8, 2005. It took some 75,000 lives, 41 130,000 and left nearly 3.5 million
without food, jobs or homes.
42 overnight, scores of
tent villages went up across the 43 with the help of international aid 44 , military personnel（人員）and aid groups working day and
night to shelter the survivors before winter set 45
.
Mercifully, the
season was mild. But with the
46 of spring, the
survivors will be moved again. Camps that 47
health care, food and shelter for 150,000 survivors have begun to
close as they were 48 intended to be permanent.
For most of the
survivors, the thought of going back brings 49
emotions. The past six months have been difficult. Families of 50 many as 10 people have had to
shelter in a single 51 and share cook stoves and bathing 52
with neighbors. “They are looking forward to the clean water of
their rivers,” officials say. “They are 53 of free fresh fruit. They want to
get back to their fields and start 54 again.” But most will be returning
to 55 but piles of ruins. In many
villages, electrical 56 have not been repaired, nor have
roads. Aid workers 57 that it will take years to rebuild
what the earthquake 58 away. And for the thousands of
survivors, the 59 will never be complete.
Yet the survivors
have to start somewhere. New homes can
be 60 from the stones, bricks and beams（梁）of old ones. Spring is coming and
it is a good time to start again.

第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題，每題2分，滿分40分）
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。
A
A federal judge sentenced Bruce Jones to 12 years in federal prison
for fraud（詐騙罪）. Over a
10-year period, Jones had managed to cheat thousands of people throughout the
state out of almost $10 million.
He advertised his fantastic ideas on TV. “For some reason,” Jones
said, “TV seems to break the ice. Even though you are a total stranger to the
viewer, once he sees you on TV in his home, he feels like he knows you. You
enter his living room and become a trusted friend.”
Jones had an imagination that wouldn’t quit. One time he showed
viewers an “official government” earthquake report which “proved” that the
western half of California
would collapse into the sea within three years. For $100, he said, Jones would
insure（承保） your
house and property for full value. Thousands of people who saw that TV ad sent
him a hundred dollars each.
In another TV ad, Jones claimed that he had come to an agreement
with the federal and state government for exclusive（獨享的）air rights. He told viewers
that, for only $100, they could own the first 10 miles above all their
property. You would be able to charge any commercial plane that flew over your
property $100 per crossing. You would also be able to charge government rockets,
satellites, space shuttles, and space stations $100 for each and every
violation of your air rights.
Another time, Jones claimed to have invented a product that gets rid
of calories. He showed the viewers a spray can of “NoCal.” He said that by
simply spraying NoCal on your food, a chemical interaction would cause all the
calories in the food to simply disappear within about 10 seconds. The NoCal was
only $10 a can. As usual,
Jones received thousands of checks in the mail.
The judge told Jones that he should be ashamed of himself. Jones
responded that he was very ashamed of himself, and that when he got out of
prison he hoped to become a TV adviser to help people avoid getting cheated. He
told the judge that he was already developing an instructional CD that, for
merely $100, would save people thousands of dollars in scams（騙局）. The judge nodded, and then
changed Jones’ sentence from 10 years to 12 years.

D. Jones
felt guilty and was determined to lead a new life.
63. We can
infer that people who wanted to buy “NoCal” from Jones
.
A.
were mainly from low income families
B. all had
a rich knowledge of chemistry
C. were
probably interested in losing weight
D. usually
did the shopping through the Internet
64. The judge
changed the sentence at last because

Icebergs are among
nature’s most impressive creations, and yet most people have never seen one.
They come into being somewhere in faraway, freezing waters, amid thunderous
noise and splashing turbulence（漩渦）, which in most cases no one hears or sees. They exist only a short
time and then slowly melt away just as unnoticed.
They have been called objects of
complete beauty. Appearing in an endless variety of shapes, they may be dazzlingly
white, or they may be glassy blue, green or purple, in light colors or in dark
colors. They are graceful, stately, inspiring-in calm, sunlit seas.
But they are also
called frightening and dangerous, and that they are-in the night, in the fog,
and in storms. Even in clear weather one is wise to stay a safe distance away
from them. Most of their main part is hidden below the water, so their
underwater parts may extend out far beyond the visible top. Also, they may roll
over unexpectedly, stirring the waters around them.
Icebergs are parts
of glaciers that break off, drift into the water, float about awhile, and
finally melt. Icebergs floating today are made of snows that have fallen over
long ages of time. They include snows that drifted down hundreds, or many
thousands, or in some cases maybe a million years ago. The snows fell in Polar regions and on cold mountains, where they melted
only a little or not at all, and so collected to great depths over the years
and centuries.
As each year’s snow
accumulation lay on the surface, evaporation and melting caused the snowflakes
slowly to become tiny grains of ice. When new snow fell on top of the old, it
too turned to icy grains. So blankets of snow and ice grains mounted layer upon
layer and were of such great thickness that the weight of the upper layers pressed
the lower ones. With time and pressure from above, the many small
ice grains joined and changed to larger crystals, and eventually the deeper
crystals merged into a solid mass of ice.
65. The
underlined word “dazzlingly” in Paragraph 2 probably means “
”.
A. brilliantly B.
abundantly C.
beautifully D.
approximately
66. The author
states that icebergs are rarely seen because they are
.
A. broken
by waves soon after they are found
B. hidden
under the mountains
C. located
in remote regions of the world
D. surrounded
by fog
67. The
underlined phrase “from above” in the last paragraph refers to “
”.
A. sunlit
seas B. polar regions C. weight of mountains D. layers of ice and snow
68. According
to the passage, icebergs are dangerous because they
.
A. usually
melt quickly B. can turn over suddenly
C. may
create large snowdrifts D. may float and hit the ships suddenly
C
me differently after I told them I was in college. Customers would
joke that one day I’d be sitting at their table, waiting to be served.
Once I graduated, I took a job at a community newspaper. From my
first day, I heard a respectful tone from everyone who called me. I assumed
this was the way the professional world worked .
I soon found out differently. I sat several feet away from an
advertising sales representative with a similar name. Our calls would often get
mixed up and someone asking for Kristen would be transferred to Christie. The
mistake was immediately evident. Perhaps it was because money was involved, but
people used a tone with Kristen that they never used with me.
My job title made people treat me politely. So it was a shock to
return to the restaurant industry.
It’s no secret that there’s a lot to put up with when waiting
tables, and fortunately, much of it can be easily forgotten when you pocket the
tips. The service industry, by definition, exists to satisfy to others’ needs.
Still, it seemed that many of my customers didn’t get the difference
between server and servant.
I’m now applying to graduated school, which means someday I’ll
return to a profession where people need to be nice to me in order to get what
they want, I think I’ll take them to dinner first, and see how they treat
someone whose only job is to serve them.
69. The author was
disappointed to find that ____
___.
A. one’s position is used as a standard to measure one’s
intelligence
B. talented people like her should fail to get a respectable job
C. one’s occupation affects the way one is treated as a person
D. professionals tend to look down upon manual waitresses
70. What does the
author intend to say by the example in the second paragraph?
A. Some customers simply show no respect to those who serve them.
B. People absorbed in a phone conversation tend to be absent-minded.
C. Waitresses are often treated by customers as casual
acquaintances.
D. Some customers like to complain because of the waitress’ poor
service.
71. How did the author feel when waiting tables at the age of 19?
A. She felt it
unfair to be treated as a mere servant by professional.
B. She felt badly
hurt when her customers regarded her as a peon.
C. She was
embarrassed each time her customers joked with her.
D. She found it
natural for professionals to treat her as inferior.
72. The
underlined sentence “many of my customers didn’t get the difference between
server and servant” in Paragraph 7 means “
”.
A. those who satisfy
others’ needs are sure to be looked down upon.
B. those working in
the service industry shouldn’t be treated as servants.
C. those serving
others have to put up with rough treatment to earn a living.
D. the majority of
customers tend to look on a servant as server nowadays.

WASHINGTON(Reuters)-Vast
areas of US Pacific Ocean waters could be protected as marine protected areas
or monuments, the White House said on Monday, drawing praise from environmental
groups.
President George W.
Bush started the process by directing the US secretaries of the Interior. Defense
and Commerce departments to judge whether certain locations in the Pacific
should be designated（指定）as marine protected areas, White House spokesman Tony Fratto said.
The areas being considered for protection in the new plan are a group of
islands and atolls（環狀珊瑚島）in the remote central Pacific, including the Rose Atoll near
American Samoa, and some of the waters around the Northern Mariana Islands in
the western Pacific.
The action comes a
month after Bush in a symbolic action put an end to a White House ban on
offshore drilling closer to home as gas prices rose. Environmental groups said
expanded offshore drilling, which would still require congressional approval,
would not cut gas costs and could hurt wildlife. Bush established a national
monument in the northwestern Hawaiian Islands
in 2006, creating the largest marine protected area in the world. Monday’s
announcement starts a process that could result in more such protected ocean
areas by the end of Bush’s presidency（總統任期）in January.
Joshua Reichert of
the Pew Environment Group called the announcement “a hopeful sign for ocean
conservation” but said designation as a marine protected area or monument could
still permit commercial fishing and deep sea mining.
“However, if the
president establishes these new sites as protected areas, where no destructive
activity is allowed, it would be one of the most significant environmental
achievements of any US president,” Reicehrt said in a statement.
73. What’s the
right order of the events according to the passage?
a. Bush ended a
White House ban on offshore drilling.
b. Bush set up a
national monument in the northwestern Hawaiian Islands.
c. Bush started a
process to protect the vast areas of US Pacific Ocean.
d. Bush started his
presidency.
A. d, a, b,
c B.
d, b, a, c C.
b, a, c, d D.
a, b, c, d
74. Environmental
groups’ attitude toward expanded offshore drilling can be described as “ ”.
A. negative B.
positive C.
agreeable D.
optimistic
75. It can be
inferred from the passage that
.
A. the
areas for protection were considered one month ago
B. Bush
will be the first US
president to gain the most significant environmental achievements
C. Monday’s
announcement still requires congressional approval
D. environmental
groups are satisfied with Monday’s announcement
76. From the
passage we can know that Joshua Reichert
.
A. didn’t
agree with the announcement
B. hoped to
permit commercial fishing
C. didn’t
trust the announcement at all
D. still
worried about some destructive activities

Can computer reason?
Reasoning requires the individual to take a given set of facts and draw correct
conclusions. Unfortunately, errors frequently occur. Now, or at least soon,
computers will be able to do logical reasoning in a variety of areas without
making errors. The key to avoiding errors is to use a computer program that
relies on the recent research in this field. AURA(Automated Reasoning
Assistant) is the program that is the best example of this use of the computer.
AURA solves a
program by drawing conclusions from a given set of facts about the problem. The
program reaches logical conclusions perfectly as it uses various types of
reasoning and solves almost all problems by using advanced techniques to find a
contradiction（矛盾）.
One generally starts
with a set of assumptions and adds a statement that the goal is unreachable.
For example, if the problem is to test a safety system that automatically（自動地） shuts down a nuclear reactor
when instruments indicate a problem, AURA is told that the system will not shut
the reactor down under those circumstances. If AURA finds a contradiction
between the statement and the system’s design assumptions, then this aspect of
the reactor’s design has been proved satisfactory. This strategy lets AURA concentrate
on the problem at hand and avoid many fruitless steps.
The chief use for
AURA at this time is for electronic circuit（電路）design check, but a number of other uses will arise. For example,
there already exist “expert systems” that are special purpose programs designed to automate reasoning in
a specific area such as medical diagnosis. These expert systems continue to
improve and have an endless life. Moreover, they can be reproduced just for
pennies. A human who can expertly predict where to drill for oil is in great
demand. A program that can predict equally well would be invaluable and could
be reproduced any number of times.
Will the computer
replace the human being? It seems likely that computer programs will reproduce
more clever programs, such programs will assist, rather than replace, humans.
Reasoning assistants will enable human minds to turn to deeper and far more
complex ideas, which will be partially prepared and then checked for reasoning
flaws by a reasoning program. Many errors will be avoided.
77. The way AURA works is to
.
A. explore the faults
in designing.
B. discover the
viruses in a program.
C. find out what is
against the set programs
D. predict by
reasoning.
78. All of the following are mentioned as areas for the use of AURA
EXCEPT
.
A. electronic
engineering. B.
search for oil
C. identification of
diseases. D.
mental logic
79. All of the following are advantages of expert programs EXCEPT
.
A. they can be
reproduced endlessly B.
they are featured by self analysis.
C. they may be
enriched in contents. D.
they are reproduced almost free.
80. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Practical Uses of
computers. B.
Suggested applications for AURA.
C. The technical
perfection of AURA. D.
Computer aid to human reasoning.
