Today almost everyone knows computers and the Internet.If I ask you “What is the most important in your life?” maybe you will say “Computers and the Internet.”
The first computer was made in 1946.It was very big but it worked slowly Today computers are getting smaller and smaller.But they work faster and faster.What can computers do? A writer has said, “People can’t live without computers today.”
The Internet came a little later than computers.It is about twenty-five years later than computers.But now it can be found almost everywhere. We can use it to read books, write letters, do shopping, play games or make friends.
Many students like the Internet very much. They often go into the Internet as soon as they are free. They make friends on the Internet and maybe they have never seen these friends.They don’t know their real names, ages, and even sex (性別).They are so interested in making the “unreal friends” that they can’t put their hearts into study. Many of them can’t catch up with others on many subjects because of that.
We can use computers and the Internet to learn more about the world.But at the same time, we should remember that not all the things can be done by computers and the Internet.

SECTION B(10%)
Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.
Even bird brains can get to know an entire continent ----- but it takes them a year of migration to do so, suggests a Princeton research team.
The scientists have shown that migrating adult sparrows can find their way to their winter nesting grounds even after being thrown off course by thousands of miles.
The team first brought 30 sparrows to Princeton from northern Washington State, where the birds had been in the process of migrating southward from their summer breeding grounds in Alaska. Half the birds were juveniles(少年) of about three months in age that had never migrated before, while the other half were adults that had made the round trip to their wintering site in the south-western United States at least once.
After the birds were released, they attempted to start their migration again but both age group grew disoriented(迷失方向) quickly.
“All the birds scattered(分散) at first,” Wikelski said. “It was clear that they were turned around for a couple of days. But while the adults eventually realized they had to head southwest, the younger birds began flying straight southward again as though they were still in Washington.”
“The adults,” said team member Richard Holland, “recovered their bearings because they possess something the younger birds do not, which is an internal map.”
“These birds need two things to know where they are and migrate effectively: a ‘map’ and a ‘compass’,” said Holland, a postdoctoral research associate in Wikelski’s lab. “What we’ve found is that juveniles use their compass, but the adults also use their map.”
Holland said, “The birds do not lose the compass as they age, but somehow develop the map, eventually applying both tools to keep on track during migratory flights. Scientists already have determined that the compass is based on the sun or the magnetic field, but where the map comes from remains a mystery----one that the team will be exploring in the coming years.”
81.Where do you think the 30 sparrows spent their summer? (No more than 2 words)
_______________________________________________________________________________82.What are the juveniles sparrows really lack of? (No more than 3 words)
_______________________________________________________________________________83.What are scientists still not sure about? (No more than 6 words)
_______________________________________________________________________________84.What is the main idea of the passage? (No more than 12 words)

My grandmother became a widow in 1970. Shortly after that, we went to the  39  shelter to pick out a dog to keep her  40  . Grandma decided on a little dog with a reddish-brown spot above each eye.  41  these spots, the dog was named Penny.
Grandma and Penny quickly became very  42  to each other, but that attachment grew much stronger about three years later  43  Grandma had a stroke(中風). Grandma could no longer
44  , so when she came home from the hospital, she and Penny were  45  companions.
After her stroke, it became a real  46  for Grandma to let Penny in and out because  47  was at the bottom of a flight of stairs. So a mechanism(機械裝置)using a rope and pulley(滑輪)was   48  from the door to a handle at the top of the stairs. Grandma just had to pull the handle to open and close the door. If the store was   49  Penny’s favorite dog food, Grandma would make one of us  50  Penny browned beef with potatoes in it. I can remember   51  my grandmother by saying that she loved that dog better than she loved her family.
As the years passed, it was not  52  for Grandma and Penny to separate each other. If Grandma went to take her nap(打盹), Penny stayed by her side until she  53  . As Penny aged, she could no longer jump up on the bed, so she   54  on the rug (墊子)beside the bed. If Grandma went into the   55  , Penny would walk along beside her, wait outside the door and accompany her   56  to the bed or chair. Grandma never went anywhere without her   57  companion by her side.
The time came when both my grandmother’s and Penny’s   58  were failing fast. After fifteen years of loving companionship, Grandma and Penny passed away within a few hours of each other.

People are overweight for many reasons, the most important one of which is that they eat the wrong foods, get the wrong types of calories per meal, and they also eat meals at the wrong time each day. Food is more powerful than any weight loss pill, because the food that you eat can either make you thin or fat. This is true because your body is like an engine, and it only needs certain foods at certain intervals(間隔)each day.
Low-calorie Diets Do Not Work 
The reason people cannot lose weight by starving themselves is that their metabolism(新陳代謝)will detect any major drop in calories and it will then adjust(調(diào)整)itself by burning fewer calories each day. That is the reason why you can eat 1,000 calories per day and not lose any weight, while your friends can eat 2,500 calories per day and not gain any weight.
Low-fat Diets Do Not Work
Many people in today’s society are buying mostly low- fat or non-fat food at the grocery store. Everybody knows how much fat is inside the food they buy. However, people are getting fatter than ever before by doing this. They are not losing weight by changing to this low-fat lifestyle.
Losing weight has nothing to do with these things. One of the most important things you can do to control your weight is to eat the proper foods, such as fruit and vegetables, eat them at the right time, and exercise every day. If people make this a habit, they will lose weight.
68. What is the main reason why people are overweight according to the author?
A. They eat the wrong foods at the wrong time.
B. They eat food with lots of calories.
C. They don’t take any weight loss pills.
D. They burn many calories every day.
69. The article is written in order to _______.
A. tell readers not to buy low-fat or non-fat food
B. tell readers how to lose weight
C. tell readers about an important scientific discovery
D. call on people to lose weight and stay healthy
70. To realize the aim of your weight loss plan, you should ________.
a. do exercise every day      
b. eat meals at the right time
c. eat fruits and vegetables   
d. eat low-fat or sweet food
e. eat the proper foods at each meal
A. a, b, c, d       B. a, b, d, e     C. a, c, d, e       D. a, b, c, e

Scientists are closely concerned with the structure of buildings and with the quality of building materials. The World health Organization (WHO) observes that the introduction of air conditioning and energy conservation (保護) measures have been accompanied by growing problems of indoor air quality. Some pollutants arise from insulation (隔音) products, some from moving cars, and others from modern housing materials. As many Europeans spend up to 90% of their lives in buildings, the health effects of the indoor climate are very important.
  Some construction materials, including fiberboard, insulation foams and certain glues for man-made wood floor boards, for example, give out organic products such as formaldehyde (甲醛). Heat and humidity increase the release of formaldehyde and the gas seriously harms the eyes. Paint, lacquer, etc. can also release dangerous gas into indoor air.
  Construction materials can cause serious damage, especially when they contain asbestos(石棉). Asbestos is naturally present in rock formations worldwide. It belongs to a family of mineral substances made up of solid, non-combustible(非易燃品) fiber. These properties make asbestos a highly sought-after construction material. As early as 1931, however, public health officers in the United Kingdom revealed the connection between breathing in asbestos dust and such diseases as lung cancer.
  The land on which a building is sited may also contribute to pollution. Some kinds of granite or similar rocks contain traces of radium. As it breaks down, this naturally radioactive element produces some kind of radioactive gas that goes through tiny cracks in walls, floors and building materials, and makes its way into the building and the rooms. The better the homes are insulated, the more is the dangerous gas in indoor air. The main effect of this dangerous gas on health is to increase the risk of lung cancer.
53.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Some building materials pollute indoor air.
B.Some factors cause indoor air pollution.
C.Asbestos can cause lung cancer.
D.The land on which houses are built contributes to indoor pollution.
54.Why are Europeans particularly concerned with building materials?
A.Lots of building materials there are radioactive.
B.They stay home up to 90% of their lives.
C.They have a high rate of lung cancer.
D.They spend most of their time indoors.
55.Why is asbestos a sought-after building material?
A.It is a kind of insulation foam.
B.Asbestos will not give out dangerous gas.
C.This material is not easy to catch fire.
D.It is rarely present in rock formations.
56.Why should we be careful about the land on which a building is to be sited?
A.To determine whether the land is firm enough for a building to be sited on.
B.To make sure that the land contains no radioactive material.
C.To make certain that the land releases no formaldehyde or other gases.
D.To check whether it contains any combustible materials.

閱讀下列短文,然后從各題所給的四個選項(A、B、C 和 D)中,選出最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
All over my garden I’ve planted nothing but roses, sweet and — if looked at far away — bright with color like sunset clouds, I’d be very happy if anyone of my visiting friends should desire to pick and take some for their homes. I trust that any friend of mine carrying the rose would disappear into the distance feeling that his emotions had been rekindled (重燃).
A close friend came for a visit the other day. I know her to be a lover of flowers and plants. And for that reason I told her at her departure that she should pick a bunch of roses to grace her bedroom. I promised that the smell of the roses would be wafted far, far away.
That girl friend of mine, tiptoeing into the garden in high spirits, smelt here and there, but in the end she didn’t pick a single rose. I said there were so many of them that she would pick as many as she’d like to; I told her that I was not a flower farmer and didn’t make a living out of them. Saying so I raised the scissors for the sacrifice of the flowers, but she stopped me, crying no, no, no!
To cut such beautiful roses would hurt one, she said. With her hands seizing at my sleeves, she told me that by no means should they be cut. Roses are the smiling face of the earth, and who could be so iron-hearted as to destroy a smile so charming?
My mind was thoroughly shocked: the ugly earth, the rough earth, the plain earth—it is for the reason of that smile that it wins the care and pity of people.
56. The underlined word “wafted” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “__________”.
A. moved             B. lost                  C. destroyed                 D. felt
The writer plants nothing but roses in her garden probably because ____.
A.    she can make money out of them          B. her friends like them
C.    she enjoys the roses very much 
D.the roses can rekindle her friends’ emotions
58. Why did the writer’s close friend refuse to pick a single rose?
A. Because the roses were not beautiful.
B. Because she did not like this kind of roses.
C. Because the writer did not want to give her any.
D. Because she loved the roses very much.
59. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. A lovely rose garden.                             B. The smiling face of the earth.
C. The pity of people to the roses.          D. A lover of flowers.

第三部分閱讀理解(共20小題;每小題2分,滿分40分)
Bad moods can actually be good for you-an Australian study finds that being sad makes people less possible to be taken in, improves their ability to judge others and also improves memory.
The study, carried out by psychology professor Joseph Forgas at the University of New South Wales, showed that people in a negative mood were more critical of, and paid more attention to their surroundings than happier people, who were more likely to believe anything they were told. "Although positive mood seems to promote creativity, flexibility, cooperation, negative moods lead to more attentive, careful thinking and encourage people to pay greater attention to the outside world," Forgas wrote. "Our research suggests that sadness promotes information processing strategies best suited to dealing with more demanding situations."
For the study, Forgas and his team conducted several experiments that started with inducing (引起,導致)happy or sad moods in participants through watching films and recalling positive or negative events. In one of the experiments, happy and sad participants were asked to judge the truth of urban myths and rumors and found that people in a negative mood were less likely to believe these statements. People in a bad mood were also less likely to make quick decisions based on racial or religious prejudices(偏見), and they were less likely to make mistakes when asked to recall an event that they witnessed.
The study also found that sad people were better at stating their case through written arguments. Forgas said this showed that a negative mood may actually promote a clearer and more successful communication style."
"Positive mood is not universally desirable: people in negative mood are less prone to judgmental errors, and are better at producing high-quality, effective persuasive arguments" Forgas wrote.
56.According to the text, people in a bad mood are more likely to______________.
A. judge other people more exactly
B. believe anything they are told
C. make quick decisions based on prejudices
D make mistakes when asked to describe an event
57. We can learn from the text that Joseph Forgas______________
A. carried out the experiments alone
B. is a psychology professor in Britain
C. likes to deal with demanding situations in life
D believes bad moods might benefit people’s health
58. In what way did Joseph Forgas conclude the study?
A. By comparison   B. By explanation    C. By analysis   D By inference
59. The text is mainly about ______________
A. how to change bad moods into good moods
B. the differences between good and bad moods.
C. benefits of bad moods
D how to beat bad moods.
