For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be ‘a skeleton in his family’s closet’. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.” “Why pick on my family?” Jessica’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good, you know. Wasn’t your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse. After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica’s mother sank in a faint（暈倒）, waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter. “What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They’re both crazy,” she thought. 56.According to Jessica’s mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means ______. A. a family honorB. a family secret C. a family storyD. a family treasure 57.What can we learn about some Australians’ ancestors form Paragraph 2? A. They were brought to Australia as prisoners. B. They were the earliest people living in Australia. C. They were involved in some crimes in Australia. D. They were not regarded as criminals in their days. 58.Why did Jessica bring a skeleton home? A. She was curious about it.B. She planned to keep it for fun. C. She needed it for her school task.D. She intended to scare her parents. 59.Jessica’s parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because ______. A. they were crazy B. they were over excited C. they realized their misunderstanding D. they both thought they had won the quarrel B AAAGH! The Generation 90s is coming! Wearing earphones, using complex Net language and constantly text messaging friends, the Gen-90s following the Gen-80s begin to make their world debut（初次登臺）. Each generation or age group has its own symbols and lifestyle. Read on and judge for yourselves if you fit the Gen-90s profile（概況，簡介）. Earphones These little devices seem to grow on the heads of the Gen-90s．They might lead to MP3, MP4 or MP101 players, giving these young people a plugged-in，cool and perhaps self-addicted look, of course, life is not always music to the ears. Martian language They have created their own code-like online language．It’s a mixture of English, Japanese and Chinese that perhaps only Martians can understand. This is an imaginative generation, though they need to be careful to keep it out of their term papers. Self-Portrait（肖像） Saying “cheese” to their own digital cameras is routine for this generation．A little bit of narcissism（自戀）never hurts anyone．It helps them reflect a little on their own lives．But be aware of the risks of posting private photos online. Text-messaging They can type their mobile phones as fast as they can speak. This is a generation that respects efficiency. However, oral communication is important and will never go out of style. 60. Who are the intended readers of the passage? A. Teenagers B. Educators C. Socialists D. Parents 61. According to the passage, if you belong to the Gen-90s, you will ____________ . A. just appreciate yourself and ignore others’ strengths. B. make your presentation and have your own symbols and lifestyle. C. have the same symbols and lifestyle of the Gen-80s. D. like music and dance very much. 62. According to the text, the writer will choose ______ as a good example to the Gen-90. A. Li Hua likes music and always wearing ipod B. Zhang Chao is not only an imaginative boy but do everything efficiently C. Lily is a shy girl and she doesn’t like making friends D. Fangfang likes being taken photos of and often posting them on line 63. According to this passage, which is FALSE? A. Not all teens are cautious about posting photos. B. They type their mobile phones so fast that it can catch the speed of speaking. C. The Gen-90s have a preference for some music players, and even regard them as a necessary part of life. D. They don’t use the cool and complex online language in formal writing. 64. The main idea of the passage is about________. A. the Gen-90s’ happy life B. the difference between the Gen-80s and the Gen-90s C. the Gen-90s’ unique lifestyle and some practical warnings D. the similarities between the Gen-80s and the Gen-90s C Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication-having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected. The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professionals worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health. On the other hand, why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones? Signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning(掃描)equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss, He couldn’t remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week ,for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer’s doctor didn’t agree. What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about. As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it’s best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it’s wise not to use your mobile phone too often. 65. The world “detected” in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by . A. discovered B. removed C. cured D. caused 66. The salesman retired young because . A. he disliked using mobile hones B. he couldn’t remember simple tasks C. he was tired of talking on his mobile phone D. his employer’s doctor persuaded him to 67. On the safety issue of mobile phones, the manufacturing companies . A. deny the existence of mobile phone radiation B. develop new technology to reduce mobile phone radiation. C. hold that the amount of radiation is too small to worry about D. try to prove that mobile phones are not harmful to health D When you first meet a disabled person, what is your first reaction? Curiosity? Sympathy? If you experience any of these emotions, you are not alone．Chances are that you don’t regularly associate with someone who is disabled．Here are four points to keep in mind if you should happen to meet a disabled person. Disabled people can lead active lives With few exceptions, a disability does not prevent someone from working, raising a family, or taking part in social activities．Many sports and recreation programs have been adapted to a person with a disability．Instead of concentrating on the disability, look at the person the same way you would look at any normal person. It’s all right to ask questions Many people are afraid of offending someone by asking about their disability．When meeting them for the first time, it’s natural to be curious about who he or she is, and where they’re from．Asking questions is usually acceptable, as long as you use common sense．Don’t, for example, ask a blind person how he feeds and bathes himself. Offer help when necessary You see a woman in a wheelchair having trouble entering a building．It’s usually appropriate to lend a hand if someone is having obvious difficulty, but keep in mind that not everyone will be willing to accept your help．Unless the woman in the wheelchair is in danger, you do your part. Remember that we all have obstacles to overcome No matter who we are, each of us has a weakness or challenge to face．Like you, a disabled person would much rather be accepted for who they are, rather than be pitied．Many friends have said to me, “I often forget that you are blind.” To me, that is the top compliment. 68. Why are you curious when you first see disabled people? A. They can’t live normally.B. You seldom deal with them. C. You look down upon them． D. They look quite different. 69. What should you do if you find a disabled person can manage it? A. You had better lend him or her a hand. B. You pretend that you haven’t seen him or her. C. You should encourage him or her to try. D. You had better leave him or her alone. 70. From this passage we learn that _______. A. the author is blind himself B. a disabled person needs pitying C. not everyone has a weakness D. some people have no difficulty 第二節 （共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分） 根據短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。 71 This date was the old mid-winter festival in pre-Christmas times, around the time of the longest night and the shortest day. Christmas in the 21st century has many traditions: Christmas trees, cards and presents. Shops can make about 60 percent f their year’s income in the three months before Christmas, so most shops get ready for it in October. 72 The first time this happened was in 1867 when Macy’s famous shop in New York, stayed open until midnight on Christmas Eve. By mid-December, almost every shop and street has a Christmas tree. 73 In the northern countries, winter is cold and dark and most trees are decorated with lights and colored glass balls give people hope that spring will come. Father Christmas is known across the world with his white hair, red coat and big bag of toys. Young children are told that he lives in the north of Finland and makes toys for them. 74 On Christmas Day a traditional meal is eaten, usually a turkey and a rich, spicy cake. Some people hate Christmas. 75 They love seeing family and friends; they also love the traditions. Love it or hate it, Christmas is a time to look back over the old year and forward to the new one. A. This tradition was started by the Germans as early as 700 AD. B. Believe it or not. C. Since about 400 AD, Christmas Day has been celebrated. D. Others feel it is a magical and exciting time. E.
