第四部分:閱讀理解(每題2分,共40分)

A

Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it? Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind. How can you use this to increase your brain power? Start writing.

By putting thoughts into words, you are telling yourself the logic behind what you think, feel, or only partly understand. Often, explaining a thought is the process of understanding. In other words, you increase your brain power by exercising your “explain power”.

Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember. Many, if not most, highly productive people are always taking notes. You can try keeping it all in your head, but if you keep a journal(日志) of your ideas the next time you’re working on a big project, you’ll probably have more success.

Want to understand a topic? Write a book about it. That’s an extreme example, but if you are learning something new, write a letter to a friend about it, and you will understand it better. Want to invent something? Write an explanation of the problem―why you want to solve it, and why it is worth solving, and you’re half-way there.

Writers don’t always write because they clearly understand something beforehand. Often, they write about something because they want to understand it. You can do the same. Writing will help bring you to an understanding. Give it a try.

56.According to the passage, writing can help you a lot EXCEPT______.

A.to increase your brain power.

B.to improve the ability to remember.

C.to develop your interest in study.

D.to strengthen the understanding of a topic.

57.The underlined sentence “you’re half-way there” in the fourth paragraph means that______.

A.you are already successful

B.there’s a long way for you to go to reach your goal.

C.you are left wondering what to do

D.you have been on the way to success

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

A.A Way on How to Write.

B.A More Powerful Mind Through Writing.

C.Brain Power Helps Improve Your Writing.

D.How to Start Your Writing.

59.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.Writing can cure people of their brain disease.

B.People who can keep all thoughts in mind are more likely to succeed.

C.Writing a book about one topic is the only way to understand it.

D.The more you write, the more logical you will be.

B

    For Senior 3 students, choosing which college to attend can be the most exciting and thrilling time in their entire school lives. This is also true for an American girl named Melanie in the film, College Road Trip, which was released in the US on March 7.

Melanie’s dad, James Porter, is obsessed(困擾) by security, so he wants Melanie to attend nearby Northwestern University, where she’s already been accepted. But Melanie really wants to go to Georgetown in Washington, D.C., where she’s been wait-listed.

When she gets an unexpected interview, she decides to go there with some female friends. However, James is concerned about her safety. He wants to protect her. But his presence leads to an endless series of comic encounters(遭遇).

James and Melanie discover her little brother and his pet pig have been hiding in the spare tire compartment(隔間). What should be a simple tire change results in the car rolling down a mountain, forcing them to hike to a nearby hotel. There the pig ruins an outdoor wedding reception.

All these disasters add spice to their trip. Finally a father and a daughter get the chance to really talk to each other.

The film explores the parent-child relationship in a comic way: The discrepancy(不同) between how close James thinks he is to Melanie and how little he actually knows of her plans makes us laugh first and then think.

All parents, whether they have college students or not, can relate to the bittersweet realization that their kids are growing up. Like what Melanie and James have done in the film, we all can find the delicate balance between staying connected and letting go.

60.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A.It’s unclear whether Melanie could be accepted by Northwestern University.

B.Northwestern University isn’t so famous as the university in Washington D.C.

C.Melanie father prefers her to stay not too far away from him.

D.There is no hope that Melanie will be accepted by the university in Georgetown.

61.We can infer from the passage that_______.

A.their car rolled down the mountain, ruining the wedding reception

B.a(chǎn) hotel was destroyed by Melanie’s brother and his pet pig

C.the girls had to give up their trip because of the incidents on the way

D.Melanie and her father got to understand each other better after so many encounters

62.The writer holds a(n) ______ attitude towards James Porter’s way of treating her daughter’s choice.

A.negative           B.positive        C.subjective        D.optimistic

63.The main purpose of the passage is to ______.

A.introduce how to improve the relationship between father and daughter

B.call on parents to learn to balance the relationship with their children

C.tell a story which happened between an American girl and her father

D.explore the differences in parent-child relationship between the west and the east

Forget Miami, Los Angeles and New York. The next big Latin music explosion is on its way in secondary markets across the United States, and the numbers are there to back it up. Among all genres or styles, Latin music was the only one registering growth in 2005. From tiny Vero Beach in northern Florida to Des Moines, Iowa, in the heart of the Midwest, from Charlotte, N.C. to Salt Lake City, Latin music sales are skyrocketing.

Wilson says there are two major reasons for the increase. One is simply the Hispanic(說西班牙語國家的) population’s increase in specific areas, which encourages stores to carry Latin product for the first time. Second, and perhaps more important, is the fact that major companies―whether dealing in music or not―are addressing the Latin consumer at a corporate(公司的) level, creating Latin departments and hiring Latin ad agencies. One of Handleman’s suburban Detroit stores, for example, has expanded its Latin section four times in the last two years. Cities like Milwaukee and Des Moines are now stocking Latin product.

Besides, it also results from economic development. It goes something like this: More often than not, a city or country with a seeming important Hispanic population will suddenly expand its construction or offer affordable housing to those working in larger, neighboring cities. This attracts lower-income workers, many of whom are Latin. Small shops and groceries begin to stock a small selection of music. When the Latin population numbers reach a critical mass, the local mass merchant, if there is one, begins stocking the product. Sooner or later, a local radio station follows; first AM, then FM. Sometimes it’s a cable TV show or a small TV station.

Of course, there are other driving forces that should not be forgotten, for example, regional Mexican music.

68.The passage mainly tells readers ____________.

A.that more and more Americans like Latin music

B.what makes Latin music develop fast in American market

C.why Latin music becomes Americans’ favorite music

D.that Latin music is bringing in more benefits for Americans

69.The underlined word “skyrocketing” in the first paragraph means _______.

A.changing very quickly               B.disappearing slowly

C.recovering slowly                   D.increasing very quickly

70.According to the THIRD paragraph, which shows the right relations among the following things?

    ①economic development             ②more Latin workers

③shops’ stock of Latin music          ④local radio station

⑤small TV station                   ⑥the development of Latin music

High-quality customer service is preached(宣揚(yáng)) by many, but actually keeping customers happy is easier said than done.

Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of a retail store, but instead will warn their friends, relatives, co-workers, strangers-and anyone who will listen. Store managers are often the last to hear complaints. “Storytelling hurts retailers(零售商) and entertains consumers, ” said Paula Courtney, President of the Verde group. “The store loses the customer, but the shopper must also find a replacement.”

The most common complaints include filled parking lots, cluttered(塞滿了的) shelves, overloaded racks, out-of-stock items, long check-out lines, and rude sales people.

During peak shopping hours, some retailers solved the parking problems by getting moonlighting local police to work as parking attendants to direct customers to empty parking spaces. Retailers can relieve the headaches by redesigning store display, pre-stocking sales items, hiring speedy and experienced cashiers, and having sales representatives on hand to answer questions. Most importantly, salespeople should be skillful and polite with angry customers.

“Retailers who’re enthusiastic and friendly are more likely to smooth over issues than those who aren’t so friendly. ” said Professor Stephen Hoch. “Maybe something as a greeter at the store entrance would help. ”

Customers can also improve future shopping experiences by filing complaints to the retailer, instead of complaining to the rest of the world. Retailers are hard-pressed to improve when they have no idea what is wrong.

72.Why are store managers often the last to hear complaints?

A.Most customers won’t bother to complain even if they have had unhappy experiences.

B.Customers would rather relate their unhappy experiences to people around them.

C.Few customers believe the service will be improved.

D.Customers have no easy access to store mangers.

73.What does Paula Courtney imply by saying the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?

A.New customers are sure to replace old ones.

B.It is not likely the shopper can find the same products in other stores.

C.Most stores provide the same.

D.Not complaining to the manager causes the shopper some trouble too.

74.What contributes most to smoothing over issues with customers?

A.Manners of the salespeople

B.Hiring of efficient employees

C.Huge supply of goods for sale

D.Design of the store layout

75.To achieve better shopping experiences, customers are advised to ______.

A.put pressure on stores to improve their service

B.settle their disputes with stores in a skillful and friendly way

C.voice their dissatisfaction to store managers directly

D.shop around and make comparisons between stores
