Brian arrived at the San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris. He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didn’t have any other luggage. Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package.
“Give this package to Jean-Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it. I think you can find him easily, “Tony said.” You don’t have any luggage, right?”
“Only this backpack,” Brian answered. “You said I could bring one carry-on bag.”
“That’s right, one carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip.”
“Thanks.”
Is Brian a criminal(罪犯)? Not at all. He is an air courier (航空投遞員). And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris. Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day. Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air courier, but it is quick.
Every year about 80, 000 people worldwide travel as air couriers. The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air-courier travel isn’t for everyone, But if you have very little money, can be flexible(靈活的)about your travel plans, and don’t mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to take a vacation!
56. Why was Brian wearing so many clothes for his travel?
A. Because they were the uniform for air couriers,
B. Because that made him easier to be recognized.
C. Because his backpack had no room for his clothes.
D. because he did not have any luggage with him.
57. An air courier is a person who .
A. manages a business company in foreign countries
B. organizes international flights for tourists
C. travels around the world with cheap tickets
D. delivers papers and packages to foreign countries
58. Businesses choose the air-courier service because .
A. it costs less B. it is flexible C. it saves time D. it grows fast
59. One of the disadvantages of traveling as an air courier is that he .

A. describes the activities of a law-breaker B. suggests an ideal way to travel

B
In the early part of the twentieth century, racism(種族主義) was widespread in the United States. Many African-Americans were not given equal rights in education or employment. Marian Anderson(1897-1993) was an African- American woman who gained fame as a concert singer in this climate of racism. She was born in Philadelphia and sang in church choirs(唱詩班) during her childhood. When she applied for admission to a local music school in 1917, she was turned down because she was black. Unable to attend music school, she began her career as a singer for church gatherings. In 1929, she went to Europe to study voice and spent several years performing there. Her voice was widely praised throughout Europe. Then she returned to the US in 1935 and became a top concert singer after performing at the Town Hall in New York City.
Racism again affected Anderson in 1939. When it was arranged for her to sing at Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C., the daughters of the American Revolution opposed it because of her color. She sang instead at the Lincoln Memorial for over 75,000 people. In 1955, Anderson became the first black soloist(獨(dú)唱者) to sing with the Metropolitan Opera of New York City. The famous conductor Toscanini praised her voice as "heard only once in a hundred years". She was a US delegate(代表) to the United Nations in 1958 and won the UN peace prize in 1977. Anderson eventually triumphed over racism.
61. According to this passage, what did Marian do between 1917 and 1929?
A. She studied at a music school. B. She sang for religious activities.
C. She sang at Town Hall in New York. D. She studied voice in Europe.
62. Toscanini thought that Marian Anderson ______ .
A. had a very rare voice B. sang occasionally in public
C. sang only once in many years D. was seldom heard by people
63. Anderson's beautiful voice was first recognized ______ .
A. at the Lincoln Memorial B. in Washington D.C.
C. in Europe D. at the United Nations
64. This passage shows that Anderson finally defeated racism in the US by ______ .
A. protesting to the government B. appealing to the United Nations
C. demonstrating in the streets D. working hard to perfect her art

A. Fail. B. Succeed. C. Try. D. Give in.

Do you like to eat out? Do you like to eat quickly? Do you like inexpensive food? Some people go to fast-food restaurants for these reasons. In the past, people usually went to diners(路邊小餐館) for these reasons. In fact, many people in the States still go to diners today for the same reasons.
A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner” in 1872. It wasn’t really a diner. It was only a food cart. People on the street walked up to the cart to buy food. These carts served late-night workers who wanted a cup of coffee and a late-night meal. The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs. In 1887, Samuel Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come and stools, and people sat down while they ate.
Before long, many diners stayed open around the clock. In other words, people were able to eat in a diner at any time. Diners changed in other ways, too. The original menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger. It included soup, favorite dishes, and a breakfast menu. In addition, diners soon became permanent buildings. They were no longer carts on wheels.
Diners today look similar to the diners of the early 1900s. They are usually building with large windows. Inside, the diners have shining counters with stools, booths, and tables and chairs. People can eat all three meals in a modern diner.
Today, many people eat in fast-food restaurants such as McDonald’s and Burger King. However, the diner remains an American tradition, and thousands of people still enjoy eating there. It was popular a century ago, and it is still popular today.
66. A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner” in 1872. Why is diner in quotation marks(引號)?
A. Because it is spelled differently from “dinner”.
B. Because the first diner was not a real diner.
C. Because diner was a new word.
D. Because it is a special kind of restaurant.
67. What meals did the first diners serve?
A. Only breakfast. B. Only lunch. C. Only night-meals. D. All of the above.
68. According to paragraph 3, diners changed in .
A. two ways B. three ways C. four ways D. five ways
69. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Diners existed before fast-food restaurants.
B. The menu included more food than sandwiched and coffee.
C. Burger King is a fast-food restaurant.
D. Sandwiches became bigger.
70. The main idea of the passage is .
A. the diner is a traditional, popular place to eat in the United States
B. Samuel Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside
C. American diners serve many types of food 24 hours a day to their customers
D. diners are different from fast-food restaurants in many ways

The Diet Zone: A Dangerous Place
Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word "diet" everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically(身體上).
Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale(秤)instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word "diet" in food labels.
On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don't have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.
The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients(營養(yǎng)成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.
Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.
71. From Paragraph 1, we learn that ________.
A. diet products fail to bring out people's potential
B. people have difficulty in choosing diet products
C. diet products are misleading people
D. people are fed up with diet products
72. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _____.
A. try out a variety of diet foods B. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods
C. pay attention to their own eating habits D. watch their weight rather than their diet
73. In Paragraph 3, "gain comes without pain" probably means ______.
A. losing weight is effortless B. it costs a lot to lose weight
C. diet products bring no pain D. diet products are free from calories
74. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products ______.
A. are over-consumed B. lack basic nutrients
C. are short of chemicals D. provide too much energy
75. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
CP: Central Point
P: Point
Sp: Sub-point (次要點(diǎn))
C: Conclusion

A
I work at a Care Center where most of the people are elderly. About a year and a half ago a 59-year-old lady came to us who had cancer. She had to have her right leg amputated(切除)and she didn’t have a family to take care of her after the operation.
This lady was a quiet lady who mostly stayed alone. But in the afternoons, when she was feeling well, she would go to visit the other people in the Care Center. She would visit a lady who was blind and read to her. She would go into the room of a young girl with severe cerebral palsy(腦癱)and sing to her. In her quiet and gentle way, she would go about the Care Center doing goods.
She passed away last Wednesday and after her passing, stories are coming forward of her quiet acts of kindness in her own hour of sorrow.
We never know what impact we have upon others. She had every reason to be bitter, to be angry, or to be swallowed up in her own grief. But she wasn’t. She didn’t have a family and probably felt forgotten, but her small and quiet acts of service made an impact upon the entire Care Center.
Each of us feels better than before for having known her. We have pledged(發(fā)誓)to be more aware of the service that we can offer to others.
56. Why did the old lady live in the Care Center?
A. Because she was suffering a very serious illness.
B. Because she felt very lonely at home.
C. Because she wanted to prove her importance.
D. Because she was invited by many patients there.
57. What did the old lady do in the Care Center?
A. She practiced her singing here and there.
B. She tried her best to comfort the other patients.
C. She was there waiting to be cured of her cancer.
D. She would do nothing but keep silent.
58. The underlined word “impact” in the fourth paragraph may most probably mean “______”.
A. result B. condition C. situation D. effect
59. The writer wrote the story to ____.
A. describe the bad situation of the Care Center
B. let everyone know about the kind old lady
C. praise the noble character of the old lady
D. show off his writing kills
60. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Old though she was, she proved better loved
B. Deep in trouble, but great in help
C. Better known for one’s kindness
D. Lost in grief, passing away in love

Why buy art? To answer this question, ask yourself what your reasons are for thinking of getting a piece of art. Artwork can cost a large amount of money, but if it meets your needs, it’s worth every penny. Anyone can buy art for almost any reason. Many people buy art simply because they like it, even if the artwork may be by an unknown artist. Art, as long as you enjoy it, is never a waste of money.
Art Is for Enjoyment
Art is meant to be shown. Don’t ever feel pressured to buy something you won’t enjoy looking at day after day, no matter what other people may say. Don’t buy something that doesn’t attract you just because it is trendy, or because the artwork will make a good investment. If you don’t like the artwork at all, don’t buy it!
Art Improves Your Environment
Have you ever noticed that all beautiful homes have art as an integral(不可分割的) part of the decoration? Art lends life and color to otherwise plain and ordinary walls. A well thought-out art collection will help create a unique ambience(格調(diào)) in your home and make it more attractive.
A rt Make a Statement
The kind of art you surround yourself with says much about your personality, tastes and values. Art truly is a mirror of the soul.
Art Enriches Your Life
Love (even the love of a work of art) contributes to healthier living and a longer lifespan (壽命). Art should enrich your life. Otherwise, why do you spend specious time and resources on it?
Just remember to select something that will appeal to your tastes, and keep to a sensible budget. Good art needn’t cost an arm and a leg.
Happy art collecting!
61. According to the author, what should you consider when buying a piece of art?
A. Whether it brings pleasure to you.
B. Whether it is fashionable at present.
C. Whether you can profit from it in the end.
D. Whether it is created by a famous artist.
62. The underlined sentence in the passage probably means_______.
A. art can show what you look like
B. art is an expression of what you are
C. a mirror has the feature similar to art
D. a mirror can be a true work of art
63. From the passage, we can learn that art ______.
A. is a good way to make big money
B. improves your sense of the environment
C. can make you live longer
D. is a waste of money for most collectors
64. What is the purpose of writing this passage?
A. To advise people to buy art works.
B. To remind people to be careful with expensive art.
C. To teach people how to choose art works.
D. To explain the benefit art can bring to people.
65. In which part of the newspaper are you most likely to find this passage?
A. Health Report B. Art & Life
C. Life Story D. Painting & Celebrity (名人)
C
Taiwan police cannot decide whether to treat it as an extremely act of stealing or an even cheat. Either way, it could be the perfect crime(犯罪), because the criminals are birds—homing pigeons !
The crime begins with a telephone message to the owner of a stolen car: if you want the car back, pay up. Then, the car owner is directed to a park, told where to find a bird cage and how to attach money to the neck of the pigeon inside. Carrying the money in a tiny bag, the pigeon flies off.
There have been at least four such pigeon pick-ups in Changwa. What at first seemed like the work of a clever stay-at-home car thief, however, may in fact be the work of an even lazier and more inventive criminal mind—one that avoids(避免)not only collecting money but also going out to steal the car in the first place. Police officer Chen says that the criminal probably has pulled a double trick: he gets money for things he cannot possibly return. Instead of stealing cars, he lets someone else do it and then waits for the car-owner to place an ad (advertisement) in the newspaper asking for help.
The thought is supported by the fact that, so far, none of the stolen cars have been returned. Also, the amount of money demanded-under 3,000 Taiwanese dollars–seems too little for a car worth many times more.
Demands for pigeon-delivered money stopped as soon as the press reported the story. And even if they start again, Chen holds little hope of catching the criminal. “We have more important things to do,” he said.
66. After the car owner received a phone call, he _______.
A. went to a certain pigeon and put some money in the bag it carried
B. gave the money to the thief and had his car back in a park
C. sent some money to the thief by mail
D. told the press about it
67. The “lazier and more inventive” criminal refers to _______.
A. the car thief who stays at home
B. one of those who put the ads in the paper
C. one of the policemen in Changwa
D. the owner of the pigeons
68. The writer mentions the fact that “none of the stolen cars have been returned” to show _______.
A. how easily people get fooled by criminals
B. what Chen thinks might be correct
C. the thief is extremely clever
D. the money paid is too little
69. The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refers to ____.
A. criminals B. pigeons
C. the stolen cars D. demands for money
70. We may infer from the text that the criminal knows how to reach the car owners because _______.
A. he reads the ads in the newspaper
B. he lives in the same neighborhood
C. he has seen the car owners in the park
D. he has trained the pigeons to follow them
D
When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, "Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn't work out, you'll have something to rely on." Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on, "the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course," she recalls.
The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her mom," I don't know how to use a computer," she admits.
Unlike her 1995 autobiography(自傳), After All, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. "I felt there was a need for a book like this," she says." I didn't want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we're self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease."
But she hasn't always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up —again—and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet.
Although her disease has affected her eyesight, she refuses to fall into self-pity. "Everybody on earth can ask, 'why me?' about something or other," she insists. "It doesn't do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I've come to realize the importance of that as I've grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be."
71. Why did Mary feel regretful?
A. She didn't achieve her ambition.
B. She didn't take care of her mother.
C. She didn't complete her high school.
D. She didn't follow her mother's advice
72. We can know that before 1995 Mary_______.
A. had two books published
B. received many career awards
C. knew how to use a computer
D. supported the JDRF by writing
73. Mary's second book Growing Up Again is mainly about her_______.
A. living with diabetes B. successful show business
C. service for an organization D. remembrance of her mother
74. When Mary received the life-changing news, she_______.
A. lost control of herself B. began a balanced diet
C. tried to get a treatment D. behaved in an adult way
75. What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. Mary feels pity for herself.
B. Mary has recovered from her disease.
C. Mary wants to help others as much as possible.
D. Mary determines to go back to the dance floor.

第四部分：一，閱讀表達(dá)(共5小題，每小題2分，滿分10分)
閱讀下面的短文，并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題，請將答案寫在答題卡相應(yīng)位置。(請注意問題后的字?jǐn)?shù)要求)
[1]With rapid increase of economic rate in western countries, more and more married young couples tend to have no child or only one. At the meantime, many developing nations adopt family planning policy to get rid of poverty. All these facts result in a world with population growth rate declining. But I myself would like to grow up in a big family.
[2]Of course, a small family had its advantages. Firstly, small family makes it easier for parents to bring up and educate their children. Parents could spend more time and money educating one child than several. The child could grow up in an influential environment. Secondly, the child could learn more survival skills for future success.
[3]However, ______________________. The only child becomes the little emperor. It would make the one child ask more for him and think less of others. Besides, after the child grows up and gets married, the new couple has to take care of four old parents. That means the two children must work hard to support the old parents. At present, many nations are facing the problem of becoming aged society. China will face this situation in a short time to come.
[4]On the contrary, a big family weighs over a small family in many aspects. Firstly, parents could educate several children with almost the same time as they spend with one. Moreover, the old brothers or sisters also could help their parents bring up little children. Secondly, if one of the children turns out to be successful, it may mean he or she is becoming a model for other children to learn from.
[5]Despite the fact that parents have to spend more time and money bringing up several children, it is not as difficult as people think it to be. With the help of good educational system and modern technology, it is becoming easier to afford several children.

On the Internet
The Internet is playing a more and more important part in our daily life. We can not only read news from home and abroad, but also get information， send emails, make phone calls, attend on-line schools， read various books and study English by ourselves. What’s more, people can enjoy music, watch sports matches, play all kinds of games and go shopping on-line. However, it’s risky to make friends and shop on-line. What’s worse, some students who are addicted to the Internet don’t study hard and even quit school.

Americans like to have meetings. In the United States, there are about eleven million meetings taking place every workday. The reason is that people can often find better ideas when they get together. A meeting gives each member a chance to present his or her ideas and to discuss them with others. People hope that they can make better use of their time and money in this way. However, meetings must be controlled. If everyone wants to have a chance to speak during a meeting, it can be very noisy, and some people may even get angry. On the other hand, if no one wants to say anything, the meeting will be very dull and awkward. How can we deal with this problem? In fact, at meetings there is a person called the chairman whose job is to keep the discussion in order. He helps to guide the discussion and makes decisions. Therefore, whether a meeting is a success or a waste of time often depends on the chairman

Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control your behaviour, but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.
If you go to sleep on your back, you're a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don't like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive(不坦率的)person. You worry a lot and you're always easily upset. You're very stubborn(頑固的), but you aren't very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.
If you sleep curled up(卷曲), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you're often defensive. You're shy and you don't normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You're easily hurt.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You're usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don't often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people.

“Flying saucer” refers to strange objects which travel through the air at very high speeds. Thousands of people all over the world claim to have seen them. Some believe them to be spaceships form other planets. Others insist that they are a secret type of planes being built on earth. Many people believe that they are only natural phenomena happening under special weather conditions.
In the United States, the first flying saucers were reported on June 4, 1947 by a private plane pilot. He saw nine objects traveling in the sky. Each was disk-shaped and very bright. Because their movements were compared to those of a “saucer skimming across the water”, newspaper recorders called them “flying saucers”.
Some weeks after the first reported sighting, the United States Air Force was given the job of looking into all the reports of flying saucers. Since the Air Force officials began their investigation of flying saucers, they have recognized most of the objects as stars, planes, man-made satellites, experimental missile(導(dǎo)彈), or weather phenomena. Some of the UFO reports, including photographs, were tricks made to cheat people.
All the research so far has failed to prove that UFOs are spaceships coming from the outside the earth.

It was a winter morning, just two weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It is really an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.
