The concept of solitude (獨處) in the digital world is almost non-existent. In the world of digital technology, e-mail, social networking and online video games, information is meant to be    小題1:  . Solitude can be hard to discover once it has been given up. In this respect, new technologies have    小題2:   our culture.
The desire to be connected has brought solitude to a(an)    小題3:   as we’ve known. People have become so    小題4:   in the world of networks and connections that one can often be contacted even if they’d rather not be. Today we can talk, text, e-mail, chat and blog to share our ideas, not only from our    小題5:  , but from our mobile phones as well.  
Most developed nations have become    小題6:   on digital technology simply because they’ve grown accustomed to it, and at this point not    小題7:   it would make them an outsider.    小題8:  , many jobs and careers require people to be    小題9:  . From this point of view, technology has changed the culture of work. Being reachable might feel like a    小題10:   to those who may not want to be able to be contacted at all times.  
I suppose the positive side is that solitude is still possible for anyone who really wants it. Computers can be shut down and mobile phones can be turned off. The ability to be “connected” and “on” has many    小題11:   , as well as disadvantages. Travelers have ended up    小題12:   on mountains, and mobile phones have saved countless lives. They can also make people feel    【小題13】  and forced to answer unwanted calls or reply to unwanted texts.
Attitudes towards our connectedness as a society    【小題14】   according to different generations. Some find today’s technology a gift. Others consider it a    【小題15】  . Regardless of anyone’s view on the subject, it’s hard to imagine what life would be like without keeping up with the advancements in technology.

閱讀表達（共5小題, 每小題3分, 滿分15分）
Let me tell you about five of the enemies we face from within．The first enemy that you’ve got to destroy before it destroys you is indifference．What a tragic disease this is! “Ho-hum，let it slide. I’ll just drift along．” Here’s one problem with drifting：you can’t drift your way to the top of the mountain．
The second enemy we face is indecision(優(yōu)柔寡斷). Indecision is the thief of opportunity and enterprise．It will steal your chances for a better future．Take a sword to this enemy．
The third enemy inside is doubt．Sure，there’s room for healthy skepticism．You can’t believe everything．But you also can’t let doubt take over．Many people doubt the past, doubt the future，doubt each other，doubt the government，doubt the possibilities and doubt the opportunities．              , they doubt themselves．I’m telling you，doubt will destroy your life and your chances of success．It will empty both your bank account and your heart．Doubt is all enemy．Get rid of it．
The fourth enemy within is worry．We’ve all got to worry some．Just don’t let it conquer you．Instead, let it alarm you．Worry can be useful．If you step off the curb (路邊) in New York City and a taxi is coming，you’ve got to worry．But you can’t let worry loose like a mad dog that drives you into a small corner．Here’s what you’ve got to do with your worries：drive them into a small corner. Whatever is out to get you，you’ve got to get it．Whatever is pushing on you, you’ve got to push back．   
The fifth enemy is overcaution. It is the timid (膽小的) approach to life．Timidity is not a virtue；it’s an illness．If you let it go，it’ll conquer you．Timid people don’t get promoted．They don’t advance and grow and become powerful in the marketplace．You’ve got to avoid overcaution．       
小題1:What’s the best title for this passage? (Within 8 words)
                                                                          .
小題2:List three enemies inside that might prevent you from getting promoted．(Within 5 words)

BEIJING — China’s education authority will tighten the widely criticized policy of “extra credits” for the national college entrance examination to ensure a fairer chance for all exam-takers.
Under the policy, high school students who win awards in national Olympic competitions could get ‘‘extra credits’ up to 20 points for the national college entrance exam. Students with talent in sports and students who are from ethnic groups can also benefit from this policy. The extra credits have increased these students’ chances of being admitted by famous universities. Some parents were found to have helped their children fabricate(偽造)award experiences or falsify qualifications to get extra credits.
“It has harmed education equality，” the ministry said.
Xiong Bingqi, vice-chief of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, said the policy is designed to help students who have special talents but may be weak in academic performance to have a chance to receive higher education. uIt will still be needed but it is time to make the rules fairer," he said.
The ministry said it will reduce the range of competitions whose winners can get extra credits, and limit the winners, privileges(優(yōu)先權(quán)).
The new policy will apply to students who begin high school in 2011, it said.
Chen Lei, a mother of a 10-year-old girl, said she welcomed the ministry's policy adjustment as she does not want her daughter to become an Olympic competition geek.
But not all the Chinese parents welcomed the new policy. “It is like a thunderbolt for me. My - 13-year-old son has spent so much time studying Olympic math，and participated in so many technological competitions during vacations. It is useless now,” said Dong Wen, a 43-year-old mother.
A student said, “Many students have changed the current study plan, and they can abandon the competition. I will be interested in learning the courses which can improve my abilities.”   
Yuan Guiren, minister of education, told China Daily that the reform is an attempt to consider  the overall quality of an applicant. “But the country will not stop the national college entrance  examination as it is still the most objective way to evaluate talent in China，” lie said.
小題1:It can be inferred from the passage that_____.
A．high school students with talent in sports are weak in academic performance
B．students who win awards in Olympic competitions can’t get extra credits in 2011
C．the number of competitions whose winners can get extra credits will be smaller
D．the extra credits have reduced students' chances of being admitted by famous colleges
小題2:What does the underlined word “geek” probably mean?
A．a(chǎn) winnerB．a(chǎn) smart learnerC．a(chǎn) competitorD．a(chǎn) dull student
小題3:Which person in the passage was strongly against the new policy?
A．Xiong BingqiB．Chen LeiC．Dong WenD．Yuan Guiren
小題4:What might be the best title for the text?
A．“Extra credits policy in China to be adjusted
B．Promotion of national Olympic competitions
C．Advice on the national college entrance exam
D．Chinese government to push education reform

A
On the first day of the 11th grade, our new math teacher Mr Washington asked me to go to the blackboard to do a math problem. I told him that I couldn’t do it. He asked, “Why not?” I paused, and then I said, “Because I’m educable mentally retarded (可教育智能遲滯).”
He came from behind his desk and looked at me. “Don’t ever say that again. Someone’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality,” he said.
It was a very special moment for me. Doctors said that I was educable mentally retarded in the fifth grade, and I was put back into the fourth grade. When I was in the eighth grade, I failed again.
But Mr Washington changed my life. This person always gave students the feeling that he had high expectations of them, and then all of the students did their best to live up to what those expectations were. He often said, “You have greatness within you.”
One day, I caught up with him in the parking place and said, “Mr Washington, is there greatness within me, sir?”
He said, “Yes, Mr Brown.”
“But what about the fact that I failed English, math, and history? What about that, sir? I’m slower than most kids.”
“It doesn’t matter. It just means that you have to work harder. Your grades don’t determine who you are or what you can produce in your life.”
“I want to buy my mother a house.”
“It is possible, Mr Brown. You can do that.” And he turned to walk away.
“Mr Washington?”
“What do you want now?”
“Uh, I’m the one, sir. One day you’re going to hear my name. I’m the one, sir.”
School was a real struggle for me. Mr Washington put many demands on me. He made me believe that I could do it. At the end of that year, I was on the honor roll for the first time in my life.
Years later, I produced five programs on public television. When one of my programs was shown on the educational television channel, I had some friends call him. I was sitting by the phone waiting when he called me. He said, “May I speak to Mr Brown, please?”
“Oh, Mr Washington, is that you?”
“Yes, it’s me. You were the one, weren’t you?”
“Yes, sir, I was.”
小題1:What does Mr Washington mean by saying “Someone’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality”?
A．You needn’t have the same opinion as others.
B．You should believe what other people say.
C．What other people say about you may not be correct.
D．The doctor made a mistake.
小題2: What happened to the author at last?
A．He entered a good university.B．He earned much honor.
C．He got a good job.D．He made television programs.
小題3: In the passage, the author implies that _________.
A．people shouldn’t believe what doctors say
B．no one can be successful with hard work and confidence
C．no one is really educable mentally retarded
D．a(chǎn) good teacher can change a student’s life
小題4:The best title for the passage would be “__________”.
A．Don’t believe othersB．I am the one
C．My best teacherD．I succeeded at last

A sandstorm, also known as a dust storm, is exactly what it sounds like. A very strong windstorm especially in the desert carries clouds of sand or dust that greatly reduces visibility. This wind is usually caused by convection currents (對流氣流), which are created by intense heating of the ground, and is usually strong enough to move entire sand dunes. Air is unstable when heated, and this instability in the air will cause higher winds to mix with winds in the lower atmosphere, producing strong surface winds.
Sandstorms can disturb people’s travel, and can sometimes destroy whole roads, and dry flat areas. Similar dust storms can be found on the planet Mars, and are thought to be seasonal. Today, the destruction of forests and too much farming of farmland can lead to sandstorms. Too much use of water resources can also cause sandstorms.
In the United States of America, sandstorms are rare because of the lack of large deserts and more importantly the development of proper agricultural techniques. The last recorded destructive sandstorm in American history was the Dust Bowl, which occurred on July 16, 1971 and was widely recorded by meteorologists (氣象學(xué)家).
To protect themselves from sandstorms, some people wear protective suits. Special equipment can be fixed in some cars to prevent sand from getting into the engine. Sandstorms can cause coughs, and the sand and dust has also been known to carry “infectious diseases”. Sand particles, unlike dust ones, will block air passages, and cause a person who breathes them in to choke. Dust particles may cause an allergic (過敏的) reaction.
小題1:Which of the following plays the first part in forming sandstorms?
A．The instability of the sand.
B．The instability of the wind.
C．The intense heating of the ground.
D．The speed of the wind.
小題2:From the second paragraph, we can learn that at present _______.
A．sandstorms are more often seen on Mars than on Earth
B．sandstorms have led to the lack of clean water resources
C．farming brings more harm than benefits to humans
D．human activities are a major cause of sandstorms
小題3:The author will most probably agree that ________.
A．there will soon be no sandstorms in the USA
B．humans haven’t thought of any way to deal with sandstorms
C．death caused by sandstorms is increasing all the time
D．humans should make more efforts to stop soil turning into desert

Your Car Is Ready for Take-off
The flying car has been talked about for many years，but now it appears that the idea is about to become a reality.
An international company has built a two-seater plane that, at the touch of a button ，transforms into a car perfectly suitable for driving on public roads. It has been designed so that the wings fold up automatically； and it takes just 15 seconds to switch between flying and driving. With its wings fully open and the propeller(螺旋槳）spinning, it can take off from any airfield.
Flying cars are quicker than traditional ones for travelling from city to city，and they can run on ordinary fuel. Another big advantage is that they are cool ，like something you would see in an action film. At the moment 9 however, the flying car’s wheels are illegal to leave the ground. That is not because of technical reasons or problems with the design. It is because the various road and aircraft authorities simply cannot agree on whether it is a car or a plane.
“The government and the authorities have never thought seriously about a flying car, says Alan Price ，the president of the company that has developed it. “I wanted a car that could fly and drive ，but it is difficult to find an organization prepared to insure the vehicle against accidents.
Nevertheless ? the company hopes to produce and deliver its first flying car soon. The company already has orders for 40 of them. The majority the potential customers are older and some are retired。There have even been orders from some people who have no pilot's license.
The flying car will cost around $ 200.000. “For an airplane ， that’s a very reasonable price， but for a car, It's quite expensive，” explains Alan. “But it just is not possible to make a $ 10，000 flying car yet. ”
This latest means of transport will not become a mass-market item in the near future，but in the long term it has the potential to change the way you travel. It will become no more expensive than driving your car on the motorway. Travel time could be reduced by more than half.
So the next time you are told to fasten your seat belt, it may be to prepare for take-off.
小題1:We know from the passage that the flying car______
A．has to run on special fuelB．will replace traditional planes
C．is popular with the richD．can shift between two forms
小題2:The flying car is presently forbidden to take off because______.
A．many people think driving it not very safe
B．it’s hard to decide whether it's a car or a plane
C．the government and the authorities don’t accept it
D．there are still some technical problems to be solved
小題3:We can learn from the passage that______.
A．few people will be able to afford a flying car
B．flying cars may share the market in the future
C．traffic jams will disappear because of flying cars
D．driving a flying car doesn’t require a pilot’s license
