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.

We need these pleasures to  43   our lives. But that doesn’t amount to (等同于) craziness or nonsense.

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

  50   things, sooner or later we will find that we have not really gained anything because our first __51   has blinded and misled (誤導) us, and we’ll remain ignorant (無知的)  52   we realize that and make some changes.

It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is a   53   of great progress.

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(lǐng)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

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
