One of the most unforgettable 41 when I was teaching second 42 10 years ago. In May I decided to plan something special for the children; a Mother’s Day party. We had put our heads together to 43 ideas of how to 44 our mothers. We practiced singing songs, memorized poems and wrote cards. We decided to hold our party the Friday before Mother’s Day. I was surprised but 45 to learn that every mother was planning to attend. I 46 invited my own mother. Finally, the big day arrived. Each child 47 up at our classroom door, expecting the arrival of his or her mom. 48 it got closer to starting time, I looked around and my eyes quickly found Jimmy. His mother hadn’t shown up and he was looking 49 . I took my mother by the hand and walked over to Jimmy. “Jimmy,” I said, “I have a bit of problem here and I was 50 if you could keep my mother 51 while I’m busy.” My mom and Jimmy sat at a table. Jimmy 52 my mom her food and drink , presented her with the gift I had made, just as we had 53 the day before. Whenever I looked over, my mother and Jimmy were in deep 54 . Now 10 years later, I work with students of all ages, educating them about the environment. Last year, I took a senior class on a field trip, and there was Jimmy. I had the students complete an outline of the day’s 55 and an evaluation of our trip. Then I collected the students’ booklets and checked them to see if 56 was completed. When I came 57 Jimmy’s page, he had written “Remember our Mother’s Day party we had in second grade, Mrs. Marra? I do! Thanks for all you did for me, and thank your mother, too.” I told him I really enjoyed what he had written. He looked rather embarrassed and 58 his own thanks and walked away. Suddenly he ran back and gave me a big hug. “Thanks again. No one even knew my mother didn’t 59 it.” I ended my workday with a hug from a teenage boy who had 60 stopped hugging teachers years ago. ks5u 41．A．lastedB．happenedC．experiencedD．described 42．A．schoolB．classC．gradeD．lesson 43．A．pay attention toB．look forward toC．get on withD．come up with 44．A．loveB．pleaseC．respectD．a(chǎn)dmire 45．A．a(chǎn)stonishedB．worriedC．relievedD．interested 46．A．evenB．everC．stillD．once 47．A．followedB．heldC．keptD．lined 48．A．AsB．AlthoughC．WhileD．Because 49．A．wildB．curiousC．strangeD．upset 50．A．consideringB．wonderingC．a(chǎn)skingD．doubting 51．A．connectionB．careC．companyD．concern 52．A．servedB．suppliedC．a(chǎn)ppealedD．a(chǎn)pplied 53．A．taughtB．studiedC．practicedD．told 54．A．mindB．thoughtC．a(chǎn)greementD．conversation 55．A．feelingB．behaviorC．eventD．a(chǎn)ction 56．A．somethingB．everythingC．a(chǎn)nythingD．nothing 57．A．byB．toC．a(chǎn)crossD．over 58．A．a(chǎn)nnouncedB．deliveredC．statedD．whispered 59．A．makeB．getC．doD．take 60．A．probablyB．exactlyC．rarelyD．eagerly III. 閱讀理解（共13小題；每小題2分，滿分26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，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。 A I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt＇s house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning. I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then. The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times. ” My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives. From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy. 61. How did the author get to know America? A. From her relatives B. From her mother C. From Books and pictures D. From radio programs 62. For the first two years in New York, the author . A. often lost her way B. did not think about her future C. studied in three different schools D. got on well with her stepfather 63. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4? A. She worked as a translator B. She attended a lot of job interviews C. She paid telephone bills for her family D. She helped her family with her English 64. The author believes that . A. her future will be free from troubles B. it is difficult to learn to become patient C. there are more good things than bad things D. good things will happen if one keeps trying ks5u B A serious problem for today’s society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem. First, employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs. Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor. In addition, the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly. This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions(養(yǎng)老金). Furthermore, some in-situations should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this is not a truly viable answer. The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young. One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent. To sum up, all these options(選擇) have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations. 65. According to the passage, how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people? A. Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire. B. Increase savings levels of people during their working years. C. Increase the discounts for food and transport for the old. D. Increase the level of pensions. 66. The underlined word “viable” in the fourth paragraph most probably means “______”. A. impossible B. practical C. perfect D. obvious 67. What can be concluded from the passage? A. Taking care of the old is mainly an issue of money. B. Employers should allow their workers to retire at a later age. C. Becoming independent should be the goal of most old people. D. There is no single solution to the problems of the old. 68. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this article? ks5u A. To point out the need for government support for old people. B. To make general readers aware of the problems of retired people. C. To discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem. D. To instruct retired people on how they can have a happier life. C Next time a customer comes to your office, offer him a cup of coffee. And when you’re doing your holiday shopping online, make sure you’re holding a large glass of iced tea. The physical sensation（感覺） of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisions—those are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist John A. Bargh. Psychologists have known that one person’s perception（感知） of another’s “warmth” is a powerful determiner in social relationships. Judging someone to be either “warm” or “cold” is a primary consideration, even beating evidence that a “cold” person may be more capable. Much of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies’ conceptual sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldness. Classic studies by Harry Harlow, published in 1958, showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth “mother” rather than one made of wire, even when the wire “mother” carried a food bottle. Harlow’s work and later studies have led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills. Feelings of “warmth” and “coldness” in social judgments appear to be universal. Although no worldwide study has been done, Bargh says that describing people as “warm” or “cold” is common to many cultures, and studies have found those perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countries. To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college students. A research assistant handed the students either a hot cup of coffee, or a cold drink, to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form. The drink was then handed back. After that, the students were asked to rate the personality of “Person A” based on a particular description. Those who had briefly held the warm drink regarded Person A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink. “We are grounded in our physical experiences even when we think abstractly,” says Bargh. 69. According to Paragraph 1, a person’s emotion may be affected by ______. A. the visitors to his office B. the psychology lessons he has C. his physical feeling of coldness D. the things he has bought online 70. The author mentions Harlow’s experiment to show that ______. A. adults should develop social skills B. babies need warm physical contact C. caregivers should be healthy adults D. monkeys have social relationships 71. In Bargh’s experiment, the students were asked to ______. A. evaluate someone’s personality B. write down their guesses C. fill out a personal information form D. hold coffee and cold drink alternatively 72. We can infer from the passage that ______. A. abstract thinking does not come from physical experiences B. feelings of warmth and coldness are studied worldwide C. physical temperature affects how we see others D. choose coffee or cold drink as they liked 73. Bargh’s experiment was designed to prove ______. A. Drinking for Better Social Relationships. B. Experiments of Personality evaluation. C. Developing Better Drinking Habits. D. Physical Sensations and Emotions. IV.單詞拼寫(共9題,每小題1分) 74. Please b__________ yourself , since there are so many guests present at the party. 75.

They believe a public park should be free of charge. People need a place where they can rest and enjoy themselves. Charging entrance fees will no doubt keep some people away. What is more, it will become necessary to build gates and walls, which will do harm to the appearance of the city. On the other hand, 40% think that fees should be charged because they need money to pay gardeners and other workers and to buy plants and young trees. They suggest, however, fees should be charged low.
