第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）

    閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。

(A)

    As a youngster, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather’ s farm in western Pennsylvania. Surrounded by miles of winding stone walls, the house and field provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me. I was used to tidy living rooms that seemed to whisper, "Not to be touched!"

    I can still remember one afternoon when I was eight years old. Since my first visit to the farm, I had wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stone walls surrounding the houses. My parents would never approve. The walls were old; some stones were missing, others loose and falling. Still, my enter the living room, where the adults had gathered after Sunday dinner.

    "I, uh―I wanna climb the stone walls," I said. Everyone looked up. "Can I climb the stone walls?" Immediately voices of disagreement went up from the women in the room. "Heavens, no! You’ll hurt yourself!" I wasn’t too disappointed; the response was just as I’d expected. But before I could leave the room, I was stopped by my grandfather’ s loud voice. "Now hold on just a minute," I heard him say. "Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself."

    "Go," he said to me,  "and come and see me when you get back." For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old walls―and had the time of my life. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventures. I’ll never forget what he said. "Fred," he said, smiling, "You made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, there’s only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are."

    Many years have passed since then, and today I host the television program Mister Rogers’  Neighborhood, seen by millions of children throughout America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same: my message to children at the end of almost every visit. "There’s only one person in this whole world like you," the kids can count on hearing me say, "and people can like you exactly as you are.

COUPONS

    Supermarkets and large drugstores often run

ads in newspapers.

    Many supermarkets also have product coupons

printed in the newspaper.  A coupon is a promise

to take money off the price of a certain product.

Coupons are often printed on small pieces of paper.

    Coupons have product names on them. If you buy

the product, you give the cashier your coupon along

with everything you buy. The cashier will subtract

the amount printed on the coupon from the full price

of the product.

Coupons are small and have lots of information

printed on them. You should read them carefully.

One thing you will find on the coupon is an

expiration date. An expiration date is the date that tells

when something can not be used any more.

    You may also find conditions for using the coupon.

 Conditions tell you the rules of the coupon. They tell you how the coupon may be used.

For example, a coupon may be good for only the smallest size of an item.

61. We can find all of the following on coupons EXCEPT__________________

    A. product names                        B. expiration dates

    C. full prices of the products               D. conditions for using them

(C)

    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 Disorder ( 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 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 1300 children, There were two groups of children, ages one and three. Researchers at Children’ s Hospital in Seattle, Washington reported the results in the publication Pediatrics (兒科). 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 percent.

    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 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 (好斗的). Other experts say the new study is important, but more work needs to be done to confirm the findings and better explain the cause and effect.

64. The best title for the passage is______.

    A. TV and Attention Problems             B. Attention and Learning

    C. Disadvantages of Watching TV          D. Causes of Attention Deficit Disorder

65. Children with attention problems may______.

    A. control their actions                   B. sit and read quietly

    C. complete tasks easily                  D. talk a lot in class

66. Watching TV at an early age may cause all of the following problems EXCEPT______.   

    A. gaining weight                       B. being too aggressive

    C. poor eyesight                        D. attention deficit disorder

67. What can be inferred from the passage?

    A. Experts should have further studies on the subject.

    B. Watching TV has no effect on children’ s character.

    C. Learning problems are caused by watching too much TV.

    D. Attention problems are caused only by watching TV.

(D)

    Wouldn’t it be great if you could just look up at the sky and read the weather forecast right away? Well, you can. The forecast is written in clouds. If you can read that writing, you can tell something about the atmosphere (大氣層). With some practice, you can become a pretty good weather forecaster. Who knows, you might even do as well as meteorologists.

    Meteorologists use much more information than just the appearance of the clouds to make their forecast. They collect data (數(shù)據(jù)) from all over the world. Then they put it into powerful, high-speed computers.

    This does give meteorologists an advantage, because they can track weather patterns as they move from west to east across the country.

    But you have an advantage, too. You can look at the sky and get your data directly. A meteorologist uses a computer forecast that takes several hours to make a local forecast.

    What are you seeing when you look at a cloud? "A picture of what moisture (濕度) is doing in the atmosphere," says meteorologist Peter Leavitt. There’ s moisture throughout the atmosphere. Most of the time you don’ t see it, because it’s in the form of an unseen gas called water vapor.

    Sometimes, the temperature of the air gets cold enough to cause the water vapor to change to liquid water. That’ s called condensation, and we see it happen all the time (for example, when damp air hits the cold glass of a mirror). When enough water vapor condenses, tiny drops form in the air. These drops spread light. A cloud is seen. Watching clouds over a day or two tells you a lot more than a single cloud about the weather to come. Changes in clouds show changes in the atmosphere.

    You should begin to notice patterns. Certain clouds, following each other in order, can signal a coming storm. But don’ t take our word for it; see for yourself.

68. This passage mainly tells us about how to_______.

    A. become a meteorologist                B. keep an eye on the weather

    C. be an assistant to a meteorologist         D. change water vapor to liquid water

69. According to the passage, ordinary people might do as well as meteorologists in weather forecast_______.

    A. with the help of the high-speed computers

    B. through a complex process of calculation

    C. with simple practice looking up at the sky

    D. asking for information from a weather station

70. Your advantage in weather forecasts is that_______.

    A. you have more powerful computers at home

    B. your brain works as well as a high-speed computer

    C. you observe the sky and obtain your data directly

    D. meteorologists give their data to you as soon as they get them

71. What causes vapor to change into water?

    A. A lot of moisture.                       B. Thick clouds.

    C. Warm atmosphere.                      D. Cold air temperature.

(E)

    Are you happy? Do you remember a time when you were happy? Are you seeking happiness today?

    Many have sought a variety of sources for their feelings of happiness. Some have put their heart and efforts into their work. Too many have turned to drugs and alcohol. Most of their efforts have a root in one common fact: people are looking for a lasting source of happiness.

    Unfortunately, I believe that happiness escapes many because they misunderstand the process and journey of finding it. I have heard many people say that, "I’ll be happy when I get my new promotion. "Or "I’ll be happy when I lose that extra 20 pounds." The list goes on and on. You probably have a few of your own you could add if you wanted.

    This thinking is dangerous because it presupposes that happiness is a "response" to having, being or doing something. In life,  we all experience stimulus and response. Stimulus is when a dog barks at you and bares his teeth. Response is when your heart beats faster, your palms get sweaty and you prepare to run. Today, some people think that an expensive car is stimulus. Happiness is a response. A great paying job is stimulus. Happiness is a response.  A loving relationship is stimulus. Happiness is a response. This belief leaves us thinking and feeling: "I’ll be happy when…"

    It has been my finding that actually the opposite is true. I believe that happiness is a stimulus and response is what life brings to those who are truly happy. When we are happy, we tend to have more success in our work. When we are happy, people want to be around us and enjoy loving relationships. When we are happy, we more naturally take better care of our bodies and enjoy good health. Happiness is NOT a response―rather, it is a stimulus.

    Happiness is a conscious choice we make every day of our lives. For unknown reason to me, many choose to be painful, unsuccessful and angry most of the time. Happiness is not something that happens to us after we get something we want―we usually get things we want AFFER we choose to be happy.

    I have made only one simple rule for my own happiness: Every day above ground is a GOOD day. Therefore, I tend to have a lot of good (and happy) days continually.

72. Paragraph 2 mainly talks about that people seek happiness _______.

    A. in the same way                          B. in different ways

    C. by working hard                          D. by taking drugs

73. What does the underlined phrase "This thinking" refer to?

    A. The thinking of being promoted.

    B. The giving up of happiness.

    C. The process and journey of finding happiness.

    D. The misunderstanding of happiness.

74. The writer strongly believes that happiness is____________.

    A. a response                               B. a stimulus

    C. a great paying job                         D. an expensive car

75. The purpose of the author in writing this passage is to___________.

    A. tell people how to enjoy happiness

    B. encourage people to seek happiness

    C. criticize the wrong ideas about happiness

    D. express his attitude towards happiness

第一節(jié) 情景作文

One possible version：

How to build an economized society

Our government is aiming to build an economized society. It is everybody’s duty to work hard to achieve this goal including us students.

Recently, the statistics in the report of one certain school in two school terms suggests that the expenses of electricity, water and paper are surprisingly large and growing rapidly, which draws our attention.

As a common member of society, we must keep the following points in our minds. Firstly, make sure that the lights and all the other electric facilities are turned off when we finish our work and leave the room.  Secondly, try to form the habit of turning off the tap after it is used and the wide water can be reused for more purposes before being thrown into sewers. Thirdly, save paper as much as possible in our everyday life. It is even better to reuse it.

In a word, if we pay much attention to our everyday behavior and take actions to reduce waste, we can make contributions to an economized society.

The drawing represents a well-known term, called the wooden barrel effect. The total amount of water is determined by the shortest board, rather than the longest one．We can see some practical applications of this effect in our daily life. Teamwork is one of the examples. No matter how we11 a single capable person performs，without cooperation，communication or help from one another, it is always the shortest “board”. The team will perform better with contribution from everyone.

M：Have you read the story “The Gift of the Magi” written by O. Henry?

W：Yes. I enjoy reading his short stories. What I admire him most is that he started to write stories

while he was in prison. Who is your favorite American writer, Mark Twain, Ernest Hemingway, or Jack London?

M：Jack London. He was born of a poor family in San Francisco in 1876. He left school at fourteen, and became a sailor, a hunter, and an explorer. In 1897 he went to the Klondike in Canada. London found adventures that he put into his most famous stories and novels. London continued to travel until a few years before his death in 1916. Now I’m reading his story “Love of Life”. I’m sure you will like his works.

M：Yes, OK. At first I stayed with a family for three months. They were very kind to me but they had three young children and I found it difficult to study.

W：Right. I see.

M：So after three months I moved out and now I live with two other students in a student house. It’s much cheaper and we like it there.

W：Good, and what about your studies? What are you studying?

M：I’m doing Computing.

W：Computing. I see. Um, apart from the language difficulties, how have you found the course?

M：Well, the main difficulty for me is getting time on the computers in the computer room. It’s always busy and this makes it very hard to do my practical work.

W：Can you reserve time in the computer room?

M：No, … but it would certainly help if we could reserve computer time.

W：Yes, I’ll look into that and see if something can be done to improve things over there.
