Apart from that, China has a rich non-material cultural heritage, one of the richest in the world. Kunqu Opera and the art of playing the guqin, a seven-stringed zither, are among UNESCO’s list of masterpieces of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. UNESCO also designated 2002-2003 as the year to celebrate the millennial anniversary of the Chinese Tibetan epic King Gesar, the longest epic in the world.

Sweet smells banish pain

    The sweet smells of roses or almonds(桃樹) could take some of the pain out of your stay in hospital. But only if you’re a woman.

Serge Marchand and Pierre Arsenault at the University of Québec in Abitibi-Témiscamingue asked 20 men and 20 women to keep their hand in painfully hot water for as long as they could while smelling various smells. When given pleasant smells such as almond extract to sniff, the women experienced significantly less pain. Foul smells such as vinegar and durians seemed to slightly intensify (加強) their pain. However, the pain felt by the men was not affected by the smells.

Both men and women reported feeling happier in the presence of good smells, while bad smells put them in a worse mood. But this effect on the emotions can’t change the women’s perception(認知能力)of pain. If so, the men should have responded in the same way.

Women are typically more sensitive to smells than men. But this also can’t explain why only women feel the pain-relief benefits, because the women in the study didn’t rate the intensity (強度) of smells differently from the men.

The importance of body language

When we connect with a person, we also have to make it clear to each other how the content of a spoken message needs to be made clear. Often words are inadequate for this purpose. For instance we do not tell each other that easily how we feel about each other, or how the words of a message need to be made clear. To make the meaning of our words clear we use body language. It is a language without spoken words and is therefore called non verbal communication. We use body language all the time, looking someone in the eyes means something different than not looking someone in the eyes.

Usually body language occurs unconsciously. Yet the body language we use decides the quality of our communication. It follows that therefore it would be good to become aware of our own and others’ body language. We can learn to use our body language for a purpose. As well as learn to understand body language of others. It is important to note that body language has different meanings in different cultures. How we can interpret body language depends on the situation, the culture, the relationship we have with the person as well as the gender of the other. This means that there is not one signal that has the same meaning all over the world. If you do not take this into account you may get yourself in some serious trouble! Body language is also interlinked with spoken language and a whole pattern of behavior from a person. Some groups have developed a whole specific body language which can be very open in its meaning and is used to communicate where the use of words may otherwise be difficult or dangerous. Examples of this are mostly groups, such as gay people, people in slavery, prisoners, etc. who have a history of prejudice against them from the dominant culture on.

68. The word “inadequate in the first paragraph means ________.

   A. not enough          B. not just         C. not fair        D. not pure

69. The non verbal communication in the first paragraph refers to _________.

     A. body language                                        B. spoken language 

C. oral language                                             D. written language

70. How we understand body language is linked to _________.

   ①situation       ②culture       ③ relationship      ④ gender

   A. ①②               B. ①②③        C. ①③④       D. ①②③④

71. According to the second part of the passage, which of the following is wrong?

   A. The body language is different in meaning in different cultures.

   B. One signal can express different meaning in different countries.

   C. You may fall into trouble if you ignore the meaning of the gestures in communication.

   D. Body language is not linked to spoken language or behavior.

Roman legend (傳說) says that Rome was built by Romulus and Remus, who were twin brothers. Their grandfather was Numitor, who was the king of an ancient Italian city. Numitor’s brother Amulius overthrew (推翻) him and became the new king. When the twin brothers were born, Amulius put them into a basket and threw them into the river for fear that they would grow up and take power from him.

The two brothers were saved and cared for by a she-wolf. The wolf fed the babies on her own milk. Later, they were found by a shepherd (牧羊人) who looked after them. When the twin brothers discovered the truth about their family, they killed Amulius and built a new city of their own. The brothers fought over who should be the ruler of the city, and Romulus killed Remus, so Rumulus became the first King of Rome.

   Actually, the building of Rome dates back to the early days of civilization. The Romans believed that their city was founded in the year 753BC and grew from a village. At that time, this city was ruled by kings. Then, the Romans drove the kings away and set up the Roman Republic around 509BC. In 27 BC, the Roman Republic fell and the Roman Empire was founded. Augustus became the first emperor. Throughout its history, Rome was ruled by different people, the most famous of which was Julius Caesar. The month July was named after him.

My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as, “Oh, Beckham is so handsome, so cool, that I can’t help falling in love with him!” or “What perfect skills he has!” Yeah, I  36   to some degree, though I sometimes do want to   37   them how much they know about Beckham, apart from his   38   and how much they know about football   39   scoring goals.

If we close our eyes, falling in deep   48  , we can find that the things that move us to be really happy or sad have a   49   meaning. If we don’t go deeper and are just satisfied with

第三部分:閱讀理解(共20小題,滿分40分)

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項A、B、C、D中選出最佳選項。

A

Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. “Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.” “Drink Good Wet Root Beer.” “Fill up with Pacific Gas”. Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the television set off, are you free from the unending cry of “You Need It! Buy It Now!”

The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it’s fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless (魯莽的) or daring, the ride can be as thrilling (驚心動魄的) as a suspense (懸疑) story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left hand lane? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.

The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat of course ,has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap ,with your hands on the arm rest even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at no more ways to sit.

 

56. According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?

A. Buses on the road.                            B. Films on television.

C. Advertisements on the billboards.                D. Gas stations.

57. What is the purpose of this passage?

A. To give the writer’s opinion about long bus trips.

B. To persuade you to take a long bus trip.

C. To explain how bus trips and television shows differ.

D. To describe the billboards along the road.

58. The writer of this passage would probably prefer ______________.

A. bus drivers who are reckless                    B. driving alone

C. a television set on the bus                      D. no billboards along the road

59. The writer feels long bus rides are like TV shows because ____________.

A. the commercials both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are fun

B. they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with commercials in between

C. the drivers are always reckless on TV shows just as they are on buses

D. both traveling and watching TV are not exciting.

60. The writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both are _________.

A. exciting                B. comfortable                  C. tiring             D. boring

 

B

Smile, when making an introduction.

Every day we meet people in a number of business and social situations. And the way we meet and greet them creates an impression. It’s important to do so in a proper way, no matter whether you are introducing yourself to someone, or introducing two people to each other. To keep you aware of this, we have gathered tips on how to make a proper introduction.

◎Always stand when making an introduction.

When you are seated and someone comes up to greet you, make the effort to stand up. By doing this, you show respect for yourself and for the other person.

◎Always maintain eye contact(接觸) while making an introduction.

Many people are not aware of the value of this simple action. When you make eye contact you are giving a confident image.

◎Always introduce a person of lesser authority(權(quán)威) to one of greater authority. The most important thing to remember is to say the most important person’s name first.

For example, when introducing your supervisor(管理者,領導) to a job candidate(候選人), you would give your supervisor’s name first. “Bob Jones, may I introduce Susan Lee, who has just graduated from ABC University?”

◎In a situation where rank(等級) is unimportant, an introduction is based on sex and age. A man is presented to a woman and a younger woman to an older woman.

What if you find yourself in a situation where you have forgotten the other person’s name? Start with a handshake and reintroduce yourself. By doing this, you will usually cause the other person to do the same.

However, if the other person does not take your suggestion, it is OK simply to apologize and let the person know that you cannot remember her or his name. This is not the ideal situation, of course, but it does happen to all of us. The other person should be forgiving.

 

61. The article gives you advice on _________.

A. how to make a self-introduction          

B. how to make a proper introduction

C. how to leave a good impression on people

D. how to greet people in social situations

62. According to the passage, people will think you are ______ if you don’t make eye contact with them.

A. not honest             B. not confident               C. shy               D. unfriendly

63. What should you do when you introduce a new worker to your boss?

A. You should not give your boss’ name.

    B. You should give the new worker’s name first.

C. You needn’t give your boss’ name.    

D. You should give your boss’ name first.

64. If you forget the other person’s name, you’d better ________.

A. ask him/her directly               

B. apologize first and then ask him/her

C. shake hands with the person and reintroduce yourself

D. consider his age first

 

                                      C

We have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four. Last Sunday evening,

we invited some people home for dinner. I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang. Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests’ coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom.

The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of them. The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids.

Each of the guests made a particular fuss over Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her hair and her smile. They said she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age.

I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big “to do” over the younger one because she’s the one who seems more easily hurt. We do it with the best of intentions.

But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshined. I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying. I said, “What are you doing here, my dear?”

She turned to me with a sad expression and said, “Mommy, why don’t people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I’m not pretty? Is that why they don’t say nice things about me as much?”

I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging her to make her feel better.

Now whenever I visit a friend’s home, I make it a point to speak to the elder child first.

 

65. The underlined expression “make a big ‘to do’ over”(paragraph 4) means_____.

      A. show much concern about

      B. have a special effect on

      C. list jobs to be done for

      D. do good things for

66. We can conclude (得出結(jié)論) from the passage that_____.

      A. parents should pay more attention to the elder children

      B. the younger children are usually more easily hurt

      C. people usually like the younger children more

      D. adults should treat children equally

67. The guests praised Kelly for carrying coats upstairs because of her_____.

      A. beautiful hair        B. pretty clothes      C. lovely smile      D. young age

68. Kristen felt sad and cried because_____.

A. the guest gave her more coats to carry

B. she didn’t look as pretty as Kelly

C. the guests praised her sister more than her

D. her mother didn’t introduce her the guests

                                   

D

Since life is short and the world is wide, the sooner you start exploring it, the better. Soon enough the time will come when you are too tired to move farther than the terrace (臺階) of the best hotel. Go now.

    No need, you may say, to tell that. But what I do need to tell you is that you will meet with a surprising amount of opposition(反對) the moment you try to set out. Rubbish, you will reply. More people go abroad nowadays than ever before; never has travel, particularly among the young, been more strongly accepted in international exchanges. Perhaps not: but none of this, my dear young friends, is travel. Travel is not going on a round coach trip for $ 67 in all, or spending ten days at a hotel by the sea. Travel is when you want to see how much money you have and then set out, alone or with chosen friends, to make an unhurried journey to a distant goal without a set date for your return.

    Real travel, then, is independence in action, and is not liked by most parents. They don’t mind your going in a school party to Athens because they know just where you are and when you’ll be back, and they can therefore permit you the imagination of freedom without for one second letting you beyond their control. But what they cannot bear(忍受) is that you should travel all on your own, without giving them your address and return date. In fact, their fears are quite reasonable because that shows how much they love you. So in order to enjoy real travel and at the same time put your parents’ mind at ease, it would be really important for you to keep some proper advice in mind.

 

69. According to the passage, you should start travel right now because _______.

A. travel broadens your mind

B. all your travel in the past is not real travel

C. time flies and the world is large

D. it’s better to start exploring the world when you are young

70. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?

A. People travel more than before.

B. Young people are encouraged to travel abroad.

C. Going on a round coach trip for $67 doesn’t mean real travel.

D. Educational visits should not be encouraged, as they are not real travel.

71. Your parents allow you to travel in a school party because ________.

A. they want you to be truly free

B. you are still under their control

C. they don’t have time to travel with you

D.   they know it’s good for you

72.   According to the writer, when you do real traveling, you should ________.

A. never mind how worried your parents are

B. give your parents your address and return date

C. tell your parents details about your travel

D. not let your parents worry about you

                                   

E

When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness (原諒) is possible, and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite (胃口) and better sleep patterns. “People who forgive show less anger and more hopefulness,” says Dr Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. “So it can help save on the wear and tear on our system and allow people to feel more energetic (精力充沛).”

So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Don’t wait for an apology. “Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing,” says Dr Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time.” Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you. Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective (視角,看法). You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance (無知), fear and even love. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person’s point of view.

 

73. The text is mainly written to explain ________.

A. how to keep yourself from being hurt

B. how to stay mentally healthy

C. how and when to remain clam

D. why and how to pardon others

74. According to the writer, what is the right way to calm down after being hurt?

A. Try to figure out why you get hurt

B. Write a letter to the person who hurt you.

C. Persuade yourself to accept what others have done to you.

D. Think about pleasant things and forget about the hurt.

75. Dr Luskin advises us not to wait for an apology after being hurt because ________.

A. we are not patient enough   

B. we’d feel worse accepting others’ apology

C. people seldom want to apologize

D. people don’t mean it when they apologize

第三部分 閱讀理解 (共20小題;每小題2分,滿分40分)

    閱讀下面短文,從每題所給的四個選項中,選出最佳選項。

A

A new study suggests that very young children who watch a lot of television may have attention problems later in school.

Children with attention problems cannot sit still or control their actions. They talk too much, lose things, forget easily and are not able to finish tasks.

People with attention problems may suffer a condition known as Attention Deficit(缺乏) Disorder(紊亂), or A.D.D. Experts say the cause of A.D.D involves chemicals in the brain. Teachers say many children in the United States are showing signs of the disorder. Some education researchers have been saying for years that watching television at a very young age could change the normal development of the brain. For example, they say that children who watch a lot of television are not able to sit and read for an extended period of time.

The new study tested the idea that television watching by very young children is linked to attention problems by the age of seven. It involved more than one-thousand-three-hundred children. There were two groups of children, ages one and three. Researchers at Children’s Hospital and Regional Medical Center in Seattle, Washington reported the results in the medical magazine. They asked the parents how often the children watched television. The parents also described their children’s actions at the age of seven using a method that can tell if someone suffers attention deficit disorders.

The children who watched a lot of television at an early age were most likely to have attention problems. Every hour of watching television increased the chances of having attention problems by about ten per cent.

The researchers say that all the children with attention problems might not have A.D.D. But they still could face major learning problems in school. The findings support advice by a group of children’s doctors that children under the age of two should not watch television.

One of the researchers said there are other reasons why children should not watch television. Earlier studies have linked it with children becoming too fat and too aggressive(likely to fight). Other experts say the new study is important, but more work needs to be done to prove the findings and better explain the cause and effect.

56. We can infer from the passage that ___________________________.

       A. Children who watch a lot of TV don’t know anything at school.

       B. Children who watch a lot of TV know more about the world than other children.

       C. Usually Americans watch a lot of TV

       D. Americans are facing serious problems now.

57. According to the passage, it is true except that ___________________.

       A. It might have taken the researchers 4 to 6 years to do the test.

       B. Children shouldn’t watch TV for about three reasons.

       C. If a child of 7 years old watches TV 3 hours a day, he is thirty percent more likely to

      have attention problems than those who watch no television.

       D. Scientists are still studying the cause and effect of the problem

58. We can learn from the passage that ___________________

       A. Some students with no A.D.D may have learning problems

       B. No students with attention problems has A. D. D

       C. No students with attention problems has learning problems

       D. Some students with A.D.D do well at school

59. The best title of this passage should be _________________.

       A. Attention Deficit Disorder

       B. An Education problem----Television

       C. Television and Attention Problems

       D. Children and Television

 

B

“Dutch” expressions heard in American English were first used in the 17th century. That was a time of fierce competition between England and Holland. At that time, the British used “Dutch” as a word for something bad, or false.

     A Dutch agreement was one made between men who had drunk too much alcohol. Dutch leave was what a soldier took when he left his base without permission.

Some of these old expressions are still used today with a little different meaning. Long ago, a Dutch treat or to go Dutch was a dinner at which the invited guests were expected to pay for their own share of food and drink. Now, Dutch treat means that when friends go out to have fun, each person pays his own share.

Another common expression heard a few years ago was “In Dutch”. If someone told you that you were in Dutch, they meant that you were in trouble.

Some of the Dutch expressions heard in American English have nothing to do with the Dutch people at all. In the seventeen hundreds, Germans who moved to the United States often were called Dutch. During the American Civil War, supporters of the northern side in the central state of Missouri were called Dutch, because many of them were German settlers. President Theodore Roosevelt once noted that anything foreign and non-English was called Dutch.

 

60. Why does the word “Dutch” often have a negative (not good) meaning in English?

       A. Because in the 17th century, the Dutch were timid (膽小的)

       B. Because in the 17th century, the Dutch often drank a lot of alcohol.

       C. Because in the 17th century, the Dutch often fought with the British.

       D. Because in the 17th century, the Dutch didn’t like to pay for others.

61. If one of your friends collects 60 yuan from you to go to have a meal together, you can use

   “_____”.

       A. A Dutch                                 B. Go Dutch

       C. In Dutch                                D. Dutch leave

62. Which of the following statements is true?

       A. The original meaning of “Dutch” refers to the people in the British.

       B. “Dutch” sometimes means all that is non-English in American English.

       C. The Dutch uncles are often very severe.

       D. “Dutch” expressions in English didn’t come from the Dutch at all.

63. What’s the passage mainly about?

       A. Telling us that “Dutch” is not a good word.

       B. Showing that “Dutch” means differently between the British and the American

       C. Telling us there was fierce competition between England and Holland.

       D. Helping us enlarge the knowledge about the word “Dutch”.

 

C

Composition classes at George Mason teach writing as a process. Teachers there ask students to use writing not simply as a way of communicating a paper, for example, you may go through the processes of discovery, reading, revising, and editing.

Many teachers introduce their students to techniques which use writing to lead to thinking. Often, as thinkers, we don’t know (or remember) everything that we do really know. Writing helps us to discover what we know, and work out what we need to know. Teachers there may begin or end a class with a wring exercise or ask you to prepare to write a paper through a series of exercises.

You may suddenly meet free-writing, where you are asked to write your unedited thoughts on a particular topic, idea or experience for a fixed period. This technique can often help an essay or other work become more successful. Brainstorming is a more focused technique during which you consciously note all your ideas, questions, facts and figures about a topic. Some teachers may ask you to write poems or imagine your experiences as you change your place in time or space. In writing to learn, you discover your destination (your new ideas) as you write.

Most teachers ask students to read each other’s drafts in classroom workshop. Not all of your reviewers will agree about your paper. As a writer, you need to decide which suggestions would help you communicate your ideas most clearly.

 

64. The whole time to complete a piece of writing is also ___.

       A. the processes of discovery, reading, revising, and editing

       B. the most important process of exam

       C. one period to be used for watching

       D. an important period of having a short rest

65. We can find that writing____.

       A. is the base of reading

       B. is the only way to practice in a school

       C. is both a way of communicating, a way of discovering and developing new ideas

       D. is the best way of teaching

66. The author’s main topic in this text is that ____.

       A. most teachers ask students to read before writing

       B. free-writing is a hard task in classroom

       C. writing a paper through a series of exercises is the best way

       D. writing is a process of discovery, creating and developing new ideas

 

D

    It is often said that most Americans vote with their wallets, and so a voter’s guide to where the two presidential competitors stand on taxes certainly comes in handy.

Over the past four years, President Bush has twice signed laws reducing individual tax rates on income in all groups, and he has repeatedly called on Congress to make these tax cuts for long, saying failure to do so would have the same effect with a tax hike and threaten prospects for a strong economic recovery.

Congressional analysts say making the tax cuts for long would cost about $13 trillion over the next 10 years.

For his part, Sen.John Kerry wants to continue Bush’s tax relief for lower and middle-income earners, but he suggests canceling tax cuts for Americans earning more than $200,000 a year, and he says he’ll use the extra money to provide money for new policies, like healthcare reform.

A married couple with two children and an annual family income of $250,000 can expect to pay $1,300 more annually in taxes, according to a Deloitte Tax LLP analysis. The family’s saving under the existing tax law is $5,380, compared with tax rates that existed in 2000.

The same family, if it had a family income of $180,000, would see no change in their tax bill under Kerry’s tax plan according to Deloitte’s analysis.

“The battleground for the two (tax) plans is how Bush and Kerry treat families and individuals with income over $200,000,” said Clint Stetch, director of tax policy at Deloitte Tax LLP.

 

67. American voters mostly care for ________ when they vote.

       A. the income from the government

       B. the taxes they have to pay

       C. the ability of the presidential rivals

       D. economic recovery

68. What does the underlined phrase “to do so” mean in the second paragraph?

       A. To vote with their wallet

       B. To sign legislation reducing individual tax rates on income in all groups

       C. To make the individual tax rates on income cut permanent

       D. To amount to a tax hike

69. If Kerry’s tax plan is approved, a household income of $500,000 will probably pay

   about __________ more annually in tax.

       A. $2,600                B. $5,380          C. $1,300          D. $2,000

70. There is no doubt that ________ would pay more under Kerry’s tax plan.

       A. lower-income families                           B. middle-income families   

       C. higher-income families                          D. all families

Stavanger is located in the area Rogaland in the south-west coast of Norway. The people that live here are still arguing whether they belong to the south of the country or if they can regard themselves as true westerners. So far they have not been able to reach a conclusion. The history of the city is long, for example, the leading church in the middle of Stavanger (Domkirken) dates back to 1125 if I’m not mistaken. This old church today is one of the sights in Stavanger. No, it is not as big as Notre Dame (巴黎圣母院) or other important churches in the big European cities. It is a small leading church and the most unique thing is that it is built in both Roman and Gothic(哥特式)style. The reason for this is of course that the church was put to fire and it took quite a long time to finish the project. But today it is located in the middle of town and lots of people get married here every summer.

      My wife is from south Africa and the first time in July she came to Norway. She was very surprised to find that Norway was green and warm. It has to be said that the summer she came here was an unusual warm summer. One of the great disadvantages of living in Stavanger is the unpredictable weather. It has been said that we can have 4 seasons in one day. Well, I don’t know about that. I can agree to 3 seasons in one day because we don’t have much of a winter here anyway. But when the weather is great in July and August that is when I love Stavanger the most. So what is there to see here? Well, I would recommend a bit. There are two places that are great: Kjerag and Prekestolen (Pulpit rock).

  閱讀下面短文,掌握其大意,然后從36-55各題所給的四個選項 (A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。

Many of us spend a great deal of time and energy proving that we are right and others are wrong. Many people believe that it is their job to    36    others how their positions, statements, and points of view are incorrect, and   37   in doing so, the  person they are correcting is going to somehow appreciate it, or at least learn   38  . Wrong!

   Think about it. Have you ever been corrected by someone and said to him, “Thank you so much for showing me that I’m wrong and you’re right.”   39  has anyone you know ever   40   you when you corrected him, or made yourself “right” at his   41  ? Of course not. The truth is, all of us   42   to be corrected. We all want our positions to be  43   and understood by others.  Being listened to and heard is one of the greatest   44   of the human heart. And those who learn to   45  are the most loved and respected. Those who are in the   46  of correcting others are often resented(憎恨) and   47   .

A wonderful way of becoming more peaceful and loving is to practise allowing others the joy of being   48   ---give them the glory.   49   correcting. When someone says, “I really feel it’s important to …” instead of jumping in and saying, “No, it’s more important to …” simply let it   50   and allow their statements to   51  . The people in your life will become less defensive and more   52  . They will appreciate you more than you could ever have   53     

possible. You’ll discover the joy of joining in and witnessing other people’s   54  , which is far more   55   than a battle of egos (自我). Starting today, let others be “right” most of time!

第三部分:閱讀理解 (20小題;每小題2分,滿分40)

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。

     You’ve heard it repeatedly: Make sure you drink at least eight glasses of water per day. The key words are "at least", because, unless you are a child, you need more water than that. The rule is, for every 50 pounds of body weight you carry, drink one quart of bottled or filtered (過濾的) water per day. The average person weighs 150 pounds, so they should drink three quarts per day. A 200 pounds person should drink a full gallon per day. Athletes should drink even more than that. Follow these and you’ve adopted one of the most important health habits.

     Our bodies are mostly water, and water is essential to our every function. Drink the appropriate amount, and everything is much more likely to function at the best levels. If you don’t drink enough water, over the short term you will experience tiredness, dry skin, headaches and constipation (便秘); over the longer term, every body function will degrade more quickly. It really is as simple as that.

     Things get a bit more complicated in what type of water to drink. Bottled water and filtered water are both good options. Do not drink tap water or distilled water (蒸餾水).Bottled water should be bottled in clear glass containers, not the plastic containers that transfer far too many chemicals into the water. Filtered water can be obtained through low-cost filters.

     Tap water should be avoided because it contains chlorine (氯) and may contain fluoride (氟化物), which is poisonous and can have terrible consequences for the body. Distilled water should also be avoided because it can burn up your body of necessary minerals. It has been tied to hair loss, which is often associated with certain mineral lack.

     Finally, drink water at room temperature if possible, as ice-cold water can harm your stomach.

56. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “degrade”?

     A. Improve.            B. Strengthen.               C. Reduce.                   D. Recover.

57. What kinds of water are proper for drinking?

     A. Tap water and bottled water.                    B. Tap water and distilled water.

     C. Bottled water and filtered water.                     D. Distilled water and filtered water.

 58. What’s the main reason that distilled water isn’t recommended to drink?

     A. It isn’t clean enough to drink.                  B. It leads the body to lack certain minerals.

     C. It contains too many chemicals.               D. It contains fluoride.

59. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

     A. It is harmful to drink plenty of icy water.

     B. One may feel tired due to lack of water for a short time.

     C. The water in plastic containers is safe to drink.

     D. The water with chlorine is not suitable to drink.

 

After almost 30 years of arguing that a black hole swallows up everything that falls into it, British astrophysicist (天體物理學家) Stephen Hawking moved backward last week.

The world-famous writer of “Brief History of Time” said he and other scientists had got it wrong.  

“I’ve been thinking about this problem for the last 30 years, and I think I now have the answer to it,” said Hawking. “A black hole only appears to form but later opens up and set free information about what fell inside. So we can be sure of the past and can predict the future.”

The findings could help solve the “black hole information paradox(似是而非的觀點)”, an important puzzle in modern physics.

A black hole is an area in space where matter is under such pressure that even light can not escape from its gravitational pull(引力). But, exactly what happens there has long puzzled scientists.

Black holes occur when a powerful star burns up its nuclear fuel and gravity forces it to break down in on itself. The great weight of the star’s outer layers moves in towards its center. The force of gravity keeps nearly all light from escaping and nothing inside can be seen from the outside.

The star actually disappears from the universe into a point of infinite density(高密度). That is a place where the laws of general relativity that govern space and time break down.

     Hawking has devoted most of his life to studying these questions.

     At the beginning, cosmologists believed the holes were like a “universal vacuum (真空) cleaner”, sucking up everything in their path.

     Hawking revolutionized the study of black holes when he proved, in 1976 that, under the strange rules of quantum physics(量子物理), when black holes form they send out energy and lose mass in the process.

     In thinking up this so-called “Hawking radiation”, the Cambridge mathematician also created one of the biggest puzzles in physics.

These particles (粒子), he said, contained no information about what has been occurring inside the black hole, or how it formed. Under his theory, once the black hole disappears, all the information within it is lost.

60. What’s the importance of Hawking’s new findings?

    A. They could help solve the puzzle about black holes.

    B. They have solved the mystery of “black holes”.

    C. We can now know what is going on inside “black holes”.

    D. Scientists have already predicted the future of “black holes” now.

61. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “cosmologist” (in Paragraph 9)?

    A. A person who studies the universe and its origin and development.

    B. A person who studies the stars and their development.

    C. A person who travels in a spacecraft.

    D. A person who studies the position of the stars and the movements of the planets.

62. Which of the following is TRUE?

     A. Hawking has now studied black holes for more than 40 years.

    B. During the course of the black hole’s forming the enormous weight of the star’s center moves into the outer layers.

    C. Almost nothing can escape from the gravitational pull of the black hole.

    D. Scientists have been thinking the black hole contains no information.

63. What would be the best title for the passage?

    A. The Formation of the Black Hole                    B. Black Hole Information Paradox

    C. Black Hole Mystery                                        D. The Cause of the Black Hole

 

If you’re a parent of a student who will go to college, two questions have probably been keeping you up at night: First, how can I help my child get into a college? Second, I wonder how much I could pay for it? You’re on your own when it comes to footing the bill, but college consultants may be able to help with the college part.

1. Get friendly with professors

     When you visit colleges, make a point of speaking to a professor or two in your favorite department. “You want to show a college that you’re not just applying because it’s a name. You have a particular reason for applying,”Hernandez says. Taking something specific a professor says is a good way for a student to get noticed.

2. Prepare for application essay

    “A lot of people believe the application doesn’t matter, and that the school is just going to look at grades and test scores,” Hernandez says. But it does, especially the college essay. To prepare, students should read some books on writing the college application essay.

3. Open your mouth

    “In the interview, feel free to speak out your mind,” Hernandez says. “If they ask you about your classes, don’t just list them. Answer in detail. Try to speak out your passion for the classes.”

4. Be creative with your high school choices

Colleges are looking for students who actively pursue their interests. High school students who simply take the prescribed list won’t make much of an impression. So branch out(擴展范圍). “If, for example, you really liked languages and hated math, the college teachers would much rather see that you dropped math and took an extra language class at a community college,” Hernandez says.

5. Get a “real” job

    “If you come from a rich family, make sure you have some work experience other than summer camp or babysitting ―all the easy jobs that college teachers don’t consider real jobs,” Hernandez advises. The tougher the job is, the better.

64. According to the passage, we can infer that Hernandez may be _________.

    A. a parent of a high school student                    B. a top college consultant

    C. the author of the passage                             D. a high school student

65. The underlined phrase “footing the bill” in Paragraph 1 means ________.

    A. borrowing money                                        B. using up money  

    C. paying off debts                                           D. paying for the tuition (學費)

66. From the advice given by Hernandez, we know that ________.

“I've never met a human worth cloning,” says cloning expert Mark Westhusin from his lab at Texas A&M University. “It's a stupid effort.” That's an interesting choice of adjective, coming from a man who has spent millions of dollars trying to clone a 13-year-old dog named Missy. So far, he and his team have not succeeded, though they have cloned two cows and expect to clone a cat soon. They just might succeed in cloning Missy this spring - or perhaps not for another 5 years.

Westhusin’s experience with cloning animals leaves him upset by all this talk of human cloning. In three years of work on the Missy project, using hundreds upon hundreds of dog's eggs, the A&M team has produced only a dozen or so embryos (胚胎) carrying Missy’s DNA. None have survived the transfer to a surrogate (代孕的) mother. The wastage of eggs and the many aborted (夭折) fetuses (胎) may be acceptable when you’re dealing with cats or bulls, he argues, but not with humans. “Cloning is incredibly inefficient, and also dangerous,” he says.

Contrary to some media reports, Missy is not dead. The owner wants a twin to carry on Missy’s fine qualities (good natured, supersmart etc.) after she does die.  In a statement of purpose, Missy’s owner and the A&M team say they are “both looking forward to studying the ways that her clones differ from Missy.”

Westhusin is cautious(謹慎的)  about his work. He knows that even if he gets a dog pregnant, the offspring(后代), should they survive, will face the problems like immature lungs and heart and weight problems~ “Why would you ever want to clone humans,” Westhusin asks, “when we’re not even close to getting it worked out in animals yet?”

68. By “stupid effort” (Line 2, Para. 1), Westhusin means to say that ________.

A. animal cloning is not worth the effort at all

B. animal cloning is absolutely impractical

C. human cloning should be done selectively

D. human cloning is a foolish and dangerous action

69. What does the first paragraph tell us about Westhusin’s dog cloning project?

A. Its success is already in sight.                B. Its result remains uncertain.

C. It can’t escape failing completely.          D. It is progressing smoothly.

70. By cloning Missy, Mark Westhusin hopes to ________.

A. study the possibility of cloning humans

B. search for ways to change its temperament(氣質(zhì))

C. examine the reproductive system of the dog species

D. find out the differences between Missy and its clones

71. We learn from the passage that animal clones are likely to have ________.

A. a bad temper                                             B. immune deficiency

C. organs of imperfect form and function    D. an abnormal shape

I had an experience some years ago which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to officiate at(主持) two funerals for two elderly women in my community. Both had died after a long and full life --- “full of years,” as the Bible would say.

At the first home, the son of the deceased woman said to me, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It’s my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, “If only I hadn’t insisted on my mother’s going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride, the sudden change of climate, was more than she could stand. It’s my fault that she’s dead.”

When things don’t turn out as we would like them to, we tend to think that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Priests know that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. They believe that the opposite course --- keeping Mother at home, postponing the operation---would have turned out better.

There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilt. The first is our need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds.

The second element is the notion that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons(召喚) the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely outgrow that infantile(嬰兒時期) notion that our wishes cause things to happen.

72. The author had to conduct the two women’s funerals probably because ________.

     A. he wanted to console (安慰) the two families

     B. he was an official from the community

     C. he had great sympathy for the deceased

     D. he was priest(牧師) of the local church

73. People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because ________

  A. they couldn’t find a better way to express their sadness

  B. they believe that they were responsible

  C. they had ignored the natural course of events

  D. they didn’t know things often turn out in the opposite direction

74. In the context of the passage, “... the world makes sense” (Line 2, Para, 4) probably means that ________.

  A. everything in the world is predetermined

  B. the world can be explained in different ways

  C. there’s an explanation for everything in the world

  D. we have to be sensible in order to understand the world

75. People have been made to believe since infancy(嬰兒時期) that ________.

  A. everybody is at their command (命令, 要求)

  B. life and death is an unsolved mystery

  C. every story should have a happy ending

D. their wishes are the cause of everything that happens
