【題目】The man had died when the rescuers found her after the terrible earthquake. She was covered by a destroyed house. Through gaps (縫隙) of those ruins,the rescuers could see her last posture (姿勢).It was something like an ancient person who was kowtowing (叩頭),but it just looked strange because she was out of shape by pressure. The rescuers confirmed her death by touching her through the gaps of the ruins. They shouted at the ruins again and again,knocked the bricks using various tools,but no reply inside.
Then the rescuing team went to the next building. Suddenly the leader ran back,calling“Come here.” He came to the body,put his hands under the woman,feeling and touching,then shouted loudly and gladly,“There is someone,a baby,still living.”
T hrough some efforts,re scuers cleaned up the ruins which blocked her. Under her body lay her baby,who was covered by a small red quilt(棉被).He was about 3 or 4 months’ old. Since well protected by his mother’s body,he was safe. He was in a deep sleep when the rescuer carried him out,and his lovely and peaceful face warmed everyone around him. The doctor,along with the rescuing team,took the baby out of the quilt to check if the baby was all right,and he found there was a mobile phone in the quilt. The doctor looked at the screen;a written me ssage was already there:“My dear baby,if you could live,don’t forget how much I love you. ”As a doctor,he experienced much of this type of separation;but at this moment,he cri ed.

【題目】I am always nervous when I get an email from my parents with "FYI(For Your Information)". My parents are in their late 70s, and while they are quite healthy for their ages, I worry about what messages they are going to give me.
I got such an email in September from my father. He sent an email from my cousin who told that her father, my uncle Reese, had passed away. The news made my mind go blank though I have met him less than a dozen times in my life, because Reese was the first of my parent’s siblings(兄弟姐妹) to die, and I was simply not ready for that.
The memorial service was set in Florida, and I quickly decided I needed to go. I needed to be there for my father, and I needed to go for myself. Reese is about nine years older than my father, and I started to do the math in my head. I know that doesn’t make sense, but I will do anything to reason that I still have a lot of time before I will be in my cousin’s shoes.
Reese’s memorial service was small with only family and perhaps a dozen of his friends. The funeral was attended by an even smaller number, and then, the family gathered at a nearby bar to look at old photographs found among Reese’s possessions when he died.
As we drove back to the Orlando International Airport, I thought about how I am not sure what my parents want, not only in their memorial services, but also how they want to be remembered and where they want to be laid to rest. These are going to be difficult conversations, but I know I need to have them. Maybe not right now, but we do need to open the discussion at some point. It may feel too early, but I trust my parents will know that when adult children raise these questions, we do it out of love to honor their lives and their wishes.
【1】Why do emails with “FYI” make the author uneasy?
A. She’s too busy to read those emails.
B. She dislikes her parents’ nonstop talking.
C. She’s afraid to get bad news about her parents.
D. They often bring unpleasant news.
【2】How did the author feel about the email from her cousin?
A. Disappointed. B. Shocked. C. Confused. D. Annoyed.
【3】What do we know from the third and fourth paragraphs?
A. Not many people attended the funeral.
B. A get-together was held at home.
C. Reese’s friends didn’t appear.
D. The author hesitated to go to Florida.
【4】What does the author decide to do after the funeral?
A. Have a talk with her parents about death.
B. Express her love for her parents bravely.
C. Value her parents’ wishes.
D. Get everything ready for her parents.

【題目】閱讀短文,完成下列問題。
A
When people first walked across the Bering Land Bridge thousands of years ago, dogs were by their sides, according to a study published in the journal Science.
Robert Wayne of the University of California, Los Angeles, and Jennifer Leonard of the Smithsonian Institute, used DNA material—some of it unearthed by miners in Alaska—to conclude that today's domestic dog originated in Asia and accompanied the first humans to the New World about 10,000 to 15,000 years ago. Wayne suggests that man's best friend may have enabled the tough journey from Asia into North America. “Dogs may have been the reason people made it across the land bridge,” said Wayne. “They can pull things, carry things, defend you from fierce animals, and they're useful to eat.”
Researchers have agreed that today's dog is the result of the domestication(馴化) of wolves thousands of years ago. Before this recent study, a common thought about the precise origin of North America's domestic dog was that Natives domesticated local wolves, the descendents(后代) of which now live with people in Alaska, Canada, and the Lower 48.
Dog remains from a Fairbanks-area gold mine helped the scientists reach their conclusion. Leonard, an evolutionary biologist, collected DNA from 11 bones of ancient dogs that were locked in permafrost(永凍層) until Fairbanks miners uncovered them in the 1920s. The miners donated the preserved bones to the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, where they remained untouched for more than 70 years. After borrowing the bones from the museum, Leonard and her colleagues used radiocarbon techniques to find the age of the Alaska dogs. They found the dogs all lived between the years of 1450 and 1675 A.D., before Vitus Bering and Aleksey Chirikov who were the first known Europeans to view Alaska in 1741. The bones of dogs that wandered the Fairbanks area centuries ago should therefore be the remains of “pure native American dogs,” Leonard said. The DNA of the Fairbanks dogs would also expose whether they were the descendents of wolves from North America.
Along with the Fairbanks samples, the researchers collected DNA from bones of 37 dog specimens(標(biāo)本) from Mexico, Peru, and Bolivia that existed before the arrival of Columbus. In the case of both the Alaska dogs and the dogs from Latin America, the researchers found that they shared the most genetic material with gray wolves of Europe and Asia. This supports the idea of domestic dogs entering the New World with the first human explorers who wandered east over the land bridge.
Leonard and Wayne's study suggests that dogs joined the first humans that made the adventure across the Bering Land Bridge to slowly populate the Americas. Wayne thinks the dogs that made the trip must have provided some excellent service to their human companions or they would not have been brought along. “Dogs must have been useful because they were expensive to keep,” Wayne said. “They didn't feed on mice; they fed on meat, which was a very guarded resource.”
(1)The underlined word “remains” is closed in meaning to ______.
A.leftover food
B.animal waste
C.dead bodies
D.living environment
(2)According to the study described in Paragraph 4, we can learn that ______.
A.ancient dogs entered North America between 1450 and 1675 AD
B.the 11 bones of ancient dogs are not from native American dogs
C.the bones discovered by the gold miners were from North American wolves
D.the bones studied were not from dogs brought into North America by Europeans
(3)What can we know from the passage?
A.Native Americans domesticated local wolves into dogs.
B.Scientists discovered some ancient dog remains in 1920s.
C.Latin America's dogs are different from North America's in genes.
D.Ancient dogs entered North America across the Bering Land Bridge.
(4)The first humans into the New World brought dogs along with them because ______.
A.dogs fed on mice
B.dogs were easy to keep
C.dogs helped protect their resources
D.dogs could provide excellent service
(5)What does the passage mainly talk about ______.
A.the origin of the North American dogs
B.the DNA study of ancient dogs in America
C.the reasons why early people entered America
D.the difference between Asian and American dogs

【題目】閱讀短文,完成下列問題。
C
We discuss the issue of when to help a patient die. Doctors of our generation are not newcomers to this question. Going back to my internship(實習(xí))days, I can remember many patients in pain, sometimes in coma(昏迷), with late, hopeless cancer. For many of them, we wrote an order for heavy medication—morphine(嗎啡)by the clock. This was not talked about openly and little was written about it. It was essential, not controversial.
The best way to bring the problem into focus is to describe two patients whom I cared for. The first, formerly a nurse, had an automobile accident. A few days later her lungs seemed to fill up; her heart developed dangerous rhythm disturbances. So there she was: in coma, on a breathing machine, her heartbeat maintained with an electrical device. One day after rounds, my secretary said the husband and son of the patient wanted to see me. They told me their wife and mother was obviously going to die; she was a nurse and had told her family that she never wanted this kind of terrible death, being maintained by machines. I told them that while I respected their view, there was nothing deadly about her situation. The kidney(腎) failure she had was just the kind for which the artificial kidney was most effective. While possibly a bit reassured, they were disappointed. Here was the head surgeon seemingly determined to keep everybody alive, no matter what.
Within a few days the patient's pacemaker(起搏器) could be removed and she awoke from her coma. About six months later, the door of my office opened and in walked a gloriously fit woman. After some cheery words of appreciation, the father and son asked to speak to me alone. As soon as the door closed, both men became quite tearful. All that came out was, "We want you to know how wrong we were."
The second patient was an 85-year-old lady whose hair caught fire while she was smoking. She arrived with a deep burn; I knew it would surely be deadly. As a remarkable coincidence there was a meeting for discussion going on at the time in medical ethics(道德). The speaker asked me if I had any sort of ethical problem I could bring up for discussion. I described the case and asked the students their opinion. After the discussion, I made a remark that was, when looking back, a serious mistake. I said, "I'll take the word back to the nurses about her and we will talk about it some more before we decide." The instructor and the students were shocked: "You mean this is a real patient?" The teacher of ethics was not accustomed to being challenged by actuality. In any event, I went back and met with the nurses. A day or two later, when she was making no progress and was suffering terribly, we began to back off treatment. Soon she died quietly and not in pain. As a reasonable physician, you had better move ahead and do what you would want done for you. And don't discuss it with the world first. There is a lesson here for everybody. Assisting people to leave this life requires strong judgment and long experience to avoid its misuse.
(1)In the early days when a patient had got a deadly, hopeless illness, _____.
A.doctors used to ask the patient to go back home and wait for death
B.doctors would write all their treatment plan on the patient's medical record
C.doctors would talk about their treatment plan openly
D.usually doctors would inject more morphine into the patient to end his life
(2)In the second paragraph, why were they disappointed?
A.Their wife and mother was going to die.
B.They doctor didn't do as they asked to.
C.Their wife and mother had to receive a kidney transplant.
D.The doctor scolded them for their cruelty
(3)At the meeting, the author discussed with the students_____.
A.how to help patients end their lives
B.the importance of mercy killing
C.the relationship between mercy killing and ethics
D.the case about an old lady
(4)The author suggested that doctors_____ before they assist a patient in killing himself.
A.discuss it with the others first
B.make sure there is no other choice left
C.be required to do so first by the patient
D.give the patient enough morphine
(5)Which of the following can best describe the author?
A.Cruel.
B.Determined.
C.Experienced.
D.Considerate.

【題目】閱讀短文,回答下列問題。
D
Some of the world's most significant problems never hit headlines. One example comes from agriculture. Food riots (暴動)and hunger make news. But the trend lying behind these matters is rarely talked about. This is the decrease in the growth in production of some of the world's major crops. A new study by the University of Minnesota and McGill University in Montreal looks at where, and how far, this decline is occurring.
The authors take a vast number of data points for the four most important crops: rice, wheat, corn and soybeans. They find that on between 24% and 39% of all harvested areas, the improvement in production that took place before the 1980s slowed down in the 1990s and 2000s.
There are two worrying features of the slowdown. One is that it has been particularly sharp in the world's most populous countries, India and China. Their ability to feed themselves has been an important source of relative stability both within the countries and on world food markets. That self-sufficiency (自給自足) cannot be taken for granted if productions continue to slow down.
Second, production growth has been lower in wheat and rice than in corn and soybeans. This is problematic because wheat and rice are more important as foods, accounting for around half of all calories consumed. Corn and soybeans are more important as feed grains. The authors note that “we have preferentially focused our crop improvement efforts on feeding animals and cars rather than on crops that feed people and are the basis of food security in much of the world.”
The report also states the more optimistic findings of another new paper which suggests that the world will not have to dig up a lot more land for farming in order to feed 9 billion people in 2050, as the Food and Agriculture Organization has argued.
Instead, it says, thanks to slowing population growth, land currently ploughed(犁)up for crops might be able to revert (回返) to forest or wilderness. This could happen. The trouble is that the prediction assumes continued improvements in productions, which may not actually happen.
(1)What significant problem does the writer think we should pay more attention to?
A.The decline of the grain production growth
B.News headlines in the leading media.
C.Food riots and hunger.
D.The food supply in populous countries.
(2)Why does the author mention India and China in particular?
A.Their big populations are causing worldwide concerns.
B.Their food yields have begun to decrease sharply in recent years.
C.Their self-sufficiency is vital to the stability of world food markets.
D.Their food self-sufficiency has been taken for granted.
(3)What does the new study by the two universities say about recent crop improvement efforts?
A.They fail to produce the same remarkable results as before the 1980s.
B.They contribute a lot to the improvement of human food production.
C.They play a major role in guaranteeing the food security of the world.
D.They focus more on the increase of animal feed than human food grains.
(4)What does the Food and Agriculture Organization say about world food production in the coming decades?
A.The growing population will greatly increase the pressure on world food supplies.
B.The optimistic prediction about food production should be viewed with caution.
C.The slowdown of the growth in yields of major food crops will be reversed.
D.The world will be able to feed its population without expanding the area of farmland.
(5)How does the author view the argument of the Food and Agriculture Organization?
A.It is built on the findings of a new study.
B.It is based on a doubtful assumption.
C.It is backed by strong evidence.
D.It is open to further discussion.

This standard was 5 promoted by the Wi-Fi Alliance, a trade group that pioneered commercialization of the 6. A person or business can use a wireless router( 路由器) or a similar 7 to create a “hotspot” or an area in which proper devices can connect wirelessly to a network or 8 Internet access. This router is usually connected to the Internet by 9 of a modem, often one 10 as a high-speed connection. Any user within about 200 feet of the 11 point can then connect to the Internet, 12 for good transfer rates, distances of 100 feet or less are often suggested. Salespersons also sell signal boosters(放大器)that 13 the range of a wireless network.
Wi-Fi networks can either be 14 or closed, in which case a 15 is needed. An area blanketed in wireless access through a device is often called a “wireless 16.” Anyone with a device that 17 proper functionality can connect to this network while in the hotspot. Through this connection, a 18 network can be accessed or Internet connectivity can be achieved.
