【題目】Thomas Edison received a patent(專利) for his kinetoscope(電影放映機(jī)) on August31, 1887. It was a machine for viewing moving pictures. Edison had hoped to combine his no invention with the phonograph(留聲機(jī)), which he had invented 10 years earlier. He thought that people would like to watch moving pictures that went along with the sound. He was not able to make them work together. The kinetoscope, however, was a popular attraction by itself. A person looked through small holes in a box-like machine and saw pictures in action. One of the first films made showed a man sneezing.

A problem with this invention was that only one person could view the moving pictures at a time. By 1891, Edison had invented a projector that showed the film on a screen. Many people could watch together.

In 1893, Edison built a motion-picture studio. He made over 300 silent films. Most of them were short. That was because the pictures flashed, or shook a lot. It was hard for people to watch more than 10 minutes at a time.

The first films were mostly of real events. They would show famous people walking somewhere, cars on a street, burning houses, and other news stories. Then comedies and short dramas were made.

Edison’s movie studio closed in 1918. By then other companies were also making films. Better cameras were made. Sound was added. Then color came along. Today, movies are among the most popular forms of entertainment.

1What do we know about the first kinetoscope?

A. It was a machine to play pictures with sound.

B. It was invented 10 years earlier than phonograph.

C. Many people were able to see films together with it.

D. Only one person could see moving pictures with it at a time.

2What does the underlined word “projector” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. A film player.

B. An electric lamp.

C. A programme.

D. A talking machine.

3Why were most of the films very short at first?

A. People didn't like long films.

B. The film stories were really short.

C. The film pictures were not very steady.

D. People could only watch a short time at a time.

4What does the text mainly tell us?

A. The trouble in making films.

B. The efforts of Edison in the development of films.

C. Why Edison invented the phonograph.

D. How Edison improved the kinetoscope.

【題目】閱讀理解
A cab company in one of Japan's major cities is introducing silent taxi drivers. Miyako Taxi, which is based in Kyoto, shows the new idea in March. The business is currently operating five “Silence Taxis” across the city.
The cars look like any ordinary taxi,but a notice written on the back of the passenger seat inform passengers that they have entered one of the new silent fleet. Drivers will offer a greeting when their passenger enters the car, and aside from confirming the route they will not engage in small talk. The drivers can indulge in conversation, only if they are spoken to first, and they are also allowed to communicate in emergency situations.
Announcing the idea, Miyako Taxi said: “This service is currently in a trial stage, with the goal of creating an in-car atmosphere that provides the most comfortable ride for passengers through limiting the driver's speaking.” According to Japan Today, they made the move after hearing reports from passengers that they were fed up being forced to chat with their drivers.
The company will assess the popularity of the trial before deciding whether to expand it and roll it out across more of their drivers.
Language and speaking is at the heart of another issue facing Uber drivers, after lost a High Court Battle to block written tests in London. Drivers applying for a minicab license in the capital will now have to pass the written exam following Uber's failed challenge against Transport for London (TfL). The company argued it could see up to 33,000 existing drivers lose their licences under the new rule.

A.has gained wide popularity in Japan.
B.has not operated yet.

A.no one can say anything during the driving.
B.drivers are allowed to speak in emergency situations.
C.greeting is not allowed as well.
D.the fare is free if we say nothing during the driving.
(3)What is the purpose of the “Silent Taxis” according to the passage?
A.Creating a more comfortable atmosphere in the taxi for passengers.
B.Ensuring a safer atmosphere in the taxi for passengers.
C.Attracting more passengers to take taxis.
D.Changing the impression of the taxi driver in Japan.

【題目】閱讀理解
It was a hot day, and my brother Walt and I had decided that the only way to survive it would be to go swimming in a deep swimming hole across Mr. Blickez's Pasture(牧場)and through some woods.
The only problem with our plan was that this pasture was guarded by a huge, mean Hereford bull(公牛). Mr. Blickez had told us that Elsie was the meanest bull in the town, maybe even in the county, and we believed him. But the hotter it got, the more we thought there was something fishy about his words. For one thing, we remembered Mr. Blickez liked telling tall tales; for another, Elsie seemed like a strange name for a bull.
Finally, I talked Mom into asking permission for us to walk through the pasture, but then another problem surfaced. Mom said she would talk to Mr. Blickez if we would take our cousin Joanie along with us. Joanie was almost two years older than me and a head taller. If her teasing ever got around my grade school, it would be all over for me. In fact, I still had a headache from a quarrel with her that morning. “I'm not going swimming with that silly girl cousin,” I told my mom.
“Either Joanie goes with, or you stay home alone,” Mom said in her serious tone(語氣). I gave in and we set out. On your way across the pasture, Walt yelled suddenly. Elsie had approached him quietly and was licking(舔)his back. Joanie and I dove under the wire fence, but while I was on the ground I looked up and saw that Elsie wasn't a big mean bull after all. She was going to keep licking my brother's back as long as he stood still.
We had many good days growing up and visiting our secret swimming hole guarded by the so-called “big mean bull”. And as it turned out, for a girl cousin, Joanie hasn't been too bad. She's been one of my best friends over the years.
(1)What's the meaning of the underlined word “fishy” in Paragraph 2?
A.Funny.
B.Interesting.
C.Doubtful.
D.Believable.
(2)What's the second problem the author had to face?
A.His mother failed to ask permission for him.
B.His mother insisted on his cousin going with him.
C.He quarreled with his cousin and had a headache.
D.His cousin made jokes on him in his grade school.
(3)We can learn from the passage that Elsie .
A.was his owner's favorite bull
B.was aggressive because of her nature
C.disliked to play with little children
D.was actually friendly to people
(4)What's the passage mainly about?
A.The bull guarding Mr. Blickez's farm.
B.The story of visiting the swimming hole.
C.How friendly the so-called “big mean bull” was.
D.How the author changed his attitude to Joanie.
