第二部分閱讀理解(共兩節，滿分40分)
第一節(共4篇,15小題，每小題2分，滿分30分)
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項。
A
I stayed for a while in Costa Rica years ago. One morning I was shopping in a local farmers market. I loved that market. The selection of produce was exceptional!
I had parked my car a few blocks away at Firestone. An hour into my shopping, I reached in my purse for my phone. I dug around searching and searching ... no phone!
I had butterflies in my stomach since the zipper(拉鍊) was not zipped on my bag and perhaps my phone fell out or got picked up by wondering hands.
I went around to all the venders (攤主) I had visited asking if they had come across a lost iPhone. But no such luck.
Disappointed, I walked out of the market with all my fresh organic produce. In front of me was an older lady walking slowly with a heavy bag in each hand. I observed many people passing her. At first I thought of doing the same, as I was worried about my phone. But then I heard a voice in my heart saying "help her".
In Spanish, I asked the old lady if I could give her a hand. She gladly handed me a bag and we walked on. She was probably in her late 70s and the bag I took from her was full of produce. She asked about my family and my job. My Sparush was far from perfect. I tried to explain to her but I was not sure whether she understood.
As we came to a street comer, we had to walk in opposite directions. My mind wondered for a moment and then I decided to go on helping the lady. I saw a warm smile of gratefulness on her face, which also warmed my own heart.
After a few more blocks we came to her destination. I couldn't imagine her walking so far with two heavy bags all alone!
I walked all the way back to my car at Firestone. I unlocked my door and sitting between the seats right in view was my iPhone!
21. Why did the author prefer the local farmers market?
A. The venders were very friendly. B. The market was near her home.
C. The produce was inexpensive. D. The produce was of good quality.
22. When did the author find her iPhone missing?
A. After she had shopped for an hour B. When she was paying for her produce.
C. After she had parked her car at Firestone. D. When she was walking into the market.
23. What prevented the author communicating smoothly with the old lady?
A. The old lady's accent. B. The old lady's age.
C. The author's poor Spanish. D. Their different cultures.
24. What kind of person is the author?
A. Warm-hearted and clever. B. Kind but careless.
C. Religious and helpful. D. Smart but thoughtless.
B
The way we cook is important. In many countries, the two sources of heat used for cooking are natural gas or electric stoves. The World Health Organization (WHO) warns that millions of people are dying every year from indoor air pollution. The WHO finds that poor cooking, heating and lighting technologies are killing millions of people each year.
Indoor air pollution results from the use of dangerous fuels and cook stoves in the home. WHO officials say nearly three billion people are unable to use clean fuels and technologies for cooking, heating and lighting. And they say more than seven million people die from exposure to indoor or outdoor air pollution each year. Of that number, the WHO says about 4.3 million people die from household air pollution given off by simple biomass(生物燃料 ) and coal stoves.
These findings show that the home use of poisonous fuels is to blame for many of these deaths.
These fuels inrlude wood, coal, animal waste and so on. Carlos Dora is Coordinator in the WHO' s Department of Public Health, Environmental and Social Determinants of Health. He says people should not use unprocessed coal and kerosene (煤油 ) fuel indoors. He says opening a window or door to let out the harmful air will not correct the situation. It will only pollute the outdoors. "New technologies and clean fuels can rid people of this problem."
The United Nations found that more than 95 percent of families in suh-Saharan Africa depend on solid fuels for cooking. It says huge populations in India, China and Latin American countries, such as Cuatemala and Peru, are also at risk.
Nigel Bruce is a professor of Public Health at the University of Liverpool. He says researchers are developing good stoves and other equipment to bum fuels in a more efficient way. "There are already many technologies for clean fuels available now. An effective and reasonably low-cost ethanol(酒精) stove that is made by Dometic (a Sweden-based company) is now being tested out. Another interesting development is electric induction stoves."In India, you can buy an induction (屯磁) stove for about $8. And in Africa you can buy a solar lamp for less than $1.
25. According to Carlos Dora, what is the best solution to indoor air pollution?
A. People should use an effective air cleaner.
B. People should use new technologies and clean fuels.
C. People should open a window or door to let out the harmful air.
D. People should prevent themselves from being exposed to harmful air.
26. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed ?
A. By listing numbers. B. By following time order.
C. By describing a process. D. By making classifications.
can we learn from the passage?
A. Burning solid fuels can help limit indoor air pollution.
B. People can buy ethanol stoves made by Dometic in India.
C. There are already two technologies for clean fuels available for use.
D. Most of the deaths from indoor pollution are in developing countries.
28. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Way We Cook Is Changing B. Cause of indoor Air Pollution
C. Indoor Air Pollution Kills Millions Each Year D. The Development of Electric Stoves
C
A recent survey in the United States showed that the average family spent more money on its pets than on its children. Although rather shocking, it should not surprise anyone who has seen the doggy parlours (客廳 ) where loved pets rest. Are Americans unique in treating their little friends in this way? No, the English, too, pay more attention to their pets.
This can clearly be seen when we look at pet foods, which often contain more vitamins than human food. They certainly cost much. Last year the British public spent two hundred million pounds on pet food alone, to say nothing of veterinary bills or animal furniture. It is difficult not to feel angry about this when considering what the same amount could do for victims of starvation and poverty, so it is not unusual for me to get hot under collar when I read an old man left all his money to his dog instead of his children.
There are a variety of reasons why I find pets-raising alarming. They cause physical problems. An example of this is New York where they have great difficulty getting rid of the mess that dogs leave on the streets. Many people find this funny, but in a number of large cities it is a major problem. Animals can cause disease, too. It is the threat of rabies - a disease with no known cure.
Another problem is the carelessness of pet owners. Most little children want a dog or a cat, and they continually push their mothers and fathers until they get one. It is only when the "sweet little thing" has been brought home that the parents realize how much time and money must be spent on "Rover" or "Bonzo". Then they just abandon it. As a result, they are allowed to run free. English farmers lose hundreds of sheep a year, killed by someone's pet and you must have read of children being hurt by some pets of their own.
Lastly, I would only suggest that we have got our priorities wrong and that something should be done about it. In my view, it's time we stopped being sentimental about pets. I can see no reason why we should get upset when animals are cut up for medical experiments. This will lead us to discovering cures for serious human diseases, then I say, "keep cutting! "
29. The doggy parlours are mentioned in the 1st paragraph to show _ .
A. what costly lives the pets are living B. where Americans keep their pets
C. why children love their pets so much D. how much pets depend on their masters
30. In the second paragraph "to get hot under the collar” probably means____.
A. getting quite hot B. becoming excited
C. feeling extremely angry D. receiving a fashionable shirt
31. According to the author, in which field can animals be most useful?
A. Food. B. Sports. C. Entertainment. D. Medicine.
32. What is the author's attitude towards pets-raising?
A. Sympathetic. B. Opposed. C. Pitiful. D. Supportive.
D

It is necessary but difficult for English beginners to memorize new words, and long lists of words seem to make the mission impossible. They are puzzled why they try to memorize words with great efforts but forget them easily. That's why there are often inquiries about how to memorize new words.
36 Here are some tips to help.
37 We too often separate the process of new words memorization from pronunciation. In fact these two can be combined and each will enhance the other. Saying the word to ourselves helps activate aural(hearing) memory, which helps the memory._38 The more familiar we are with the word, the greater chance we will have to keep it for the rest of our life.
Never memorize single English words. _39 Relate the word to terms we already know, either as synonym or antonym. For example, the word "gargantuan" is similar in meaning to words "gigantic", ”huge" and "large". Make a sequence of words: "small, medium, large, gigantic, and gargantuan".
Create a mental image of the word that involves strong emotions. Think, "The gargantuan whale is going to swallow me whole".
Learning English words requires action. Complaining how difficult it is to memorize new words will be of little help. _40 Have a try with ten words a day and you will see what a difference you will make in our English learning.
A. So take action right now.
B. Speak the word while memorizing it.
C. Memorizing new words is very important.
D. Actually, some have given up learning new words.
E. In fact, learning new words needn't be that difficult.
F. Make as many associations and connections as possible.
G. The sound of word helps us recall the spelling and familiarizes us with the word.

I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.
I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(貓頭鷹) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already placed in a carrier for safety.
I examined the chick(雛鳥) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a
The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable . I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.
Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.
A nervous night to be sure,but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH!The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.

Some of the world’s most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO( United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying(聯合) voice across
Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.
It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture.
“Jazz seems like it’s not really a part of the American appetite,” Moran tells National Public Radio’s reporter Neal Conan. “What I’m hoping to accomplish is that mu generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and write anymore. It’s actually color, and it’s actually digital.”
Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. “The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same,” says Moran.
Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller’s music for a dance party, “Just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,” says Moran. “For me, it’s the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion(情感) lie? Are we, as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context,” says Moran, “So I want to continue those dialogue. Those are the things I want to foster.”

A buld-it-yourself solar still(蒸餾器) is one of the best ways to obtain drinking water in areas where the liquid is not readily available. Developed by two doctors in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it’s an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carry the necessary equipment with you, since it’s all but impossible to find natural substitutes. The only components required, though, are a 5’
5’ sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic, six feet of plastic tube, and a container— perhaps just a drinking cup — to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.
To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet across and three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’sproductivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up — and out — the side of the hole.
Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone(圓錐體) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over, and no more than three inches above, the cup.
The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water evaporates (蒸發) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshment out through the tube, and won’t have to break down the still every time you need a drink.
do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph?
’s ’s expensive.

does the underlined phrase “the water catcher” in paragraph 2 refer to?

I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness.

39We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.

In the summer holiday following my eighteen birthday, I took driving lessons. I still remember how hard first day was. Before getting into the car, I thought I had learned the instructor’s orders, so once I started the car, my mind goes blank, I forgot what he had said to me altogether. The instructor kept repeating the word, “Speed up!” “Slow down!” “Turning left!” I was so much nervous that I could hardly tell which direction was left. A few minutes late, the instructor asked me to stop the car. It was a relief and I came to a suddenly stop just in the middle on the road.
