【題目】What happens to a teenage kid when the world he thought he knew suddenly changes? Find out in Little Brother by American author Cory Doctorow. It is a fascinating book for a new generation of science fiction readers.

Marcus Yallow, 17, from San Francisco is much more comfortable in front of a computer than obeying the rules of society. Smart, fast and wise to the ways of the networked world, he has no trouble outwitting his high school's monitoring(監(jiān)控) system. This way he and his friends get to head off to play a popular online game in real life.

While they are playing, a bomb explodes on the Bay Bridge. Marcus stops a military vehicle to get help for his injured friend, but this simple act throws him into a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secret prison. There he is treated as a possible terrorist. He is eventually let go after four days, but his injured friend disappears.

When he returns, Marcus discovers that there are many “security measures” in place and that now all citizens are treated like potential terrorists. While some consider this government action necessary for public safety, Marcus sees this as a complete destruction of the rights he is supposed to have as a citizen.

He knows that no one will believe his story, which leaves him with only one thing to do: to take down the DHS (數(shù)字處理系統(tǒng)) himself. He helps organize a large network called Xnet to spread the truth, anonymously (匿名地)．

The book presents a young man who is irresponsible, but learns about himself, and grows, in the course of the story. As part of this learning and growing he becomes aware of very serious issues about his society.

【1】What kind of article does this passage belong to?

A. A fascinating story B. A news report C. A book review D. A TV programme

【2】The underlined word “outwitting” in the second paragraph means ________.

A. destroying in a wise way B. buying in a wise way

C. his injured friend disappeared D. he did something that a possible terrorist could do

【4】From the second paragraph we can infer that ________.

B. Marcus Yallow is smart, fast and wise in real life

C. Marcus Yallow always plays online games in real life

【題目】One day, on the way home from school, my mum told me she was going to make some new rules for me and my brothers and sisters. Before this, we knew she wanted us to be good, but we really didn’t have any rules. On the next day, she started giving us the “house rules”.

Clean your rooms every other day. Be ready for dinner at 7:00 p.m. (that means sitting at the table, with clean hands). If mum is having a meeting in the house, be very quiet (that means turning down the music and the TV). Be ready for bed at 9:30 p.m. (that means lying in bed, with a clean face). Get up at 7:30 a.m. To get ready for school (that means your feet are on the floor, not just hanging off the bed). Take the rubbish to the trash can in the street on Monday morning before school. Clean the bathroom on Thursday.

Following these rules isn’t too hard, and sometimes it’s even fun. At other times, it can be difficult. For example, if your room is really dirty, and you can't finish cleaning it on that day, you have to finish it on the next day, along with anything else you have to do. That can be hard.

Mum made these rules because she loves us a lot. She wants us to learn how to be on time, be clean and neat, and be polite. Every day, we try to follow her rules.

【1】When do the family usually have dinner?

A. at 7:00 p.m. B. at 7:30 p.m.

C. at 9:00 p.m. D. at 9:30 p.m.

【2】What should children do at 7:30 am?

A. Getting up. B. Having breakfast.

C. Washing face. D. Brushing teeth.

【3】What should the children do according to the new rules?

A. Never watch TV again. B. Clean their rooms every day.

C. Help their mum to make dinner. D. Clean the bathroom once a week.

【4】Which of the following can be used to describe the writer’s feeling about following these rules?

A. Terrible. B. Tiring.

C. Not too hard. D. Not very interesting.

【5】When does the writer feel it hard to follow the rules?

A. When the rubbish is too heavy. B. When there is a good show on TV.
