【題目】Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world every day. English speakers are always creating new words, and we are often able to know where most words come from.
Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers(漢堡包) are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham(火腿)? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They did not speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered, “We come from Hamburg.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of beef like those which the men from Hamburg ate. Then he put each between two pieces of bread and started selling them. Such bread came to be called “hamburgers”. Today “hamburgers” are sold in many countries around the world.
Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting. Knowing why any word has a certain meaning is interesting. too. This reason, for most English words, can be found in any large English dictionary.

【題目】閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A.B.C和D項中,選出最佳選項。
“So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become certain.” Christopher Reeve
Recently, for the first time in 5 years I simply went out back, put my cane down, and started walking. I made it 42 yards.
Today I walked 5 miles.
My medical team had said this would be impossible. My brain could no longer send the signals for walking because those nerves in it had been destroyed. Though certainly unintentional, my doctors did take something very important away from me: hope.
A while back, a psychologist pal of mine urged me to try to help myself. I was angry. I said, “They’re four of Boston’s leading neurologists. They all said I’d never get any better.”
“They could have all been wrong.”
“They said there’s nothing I can do! No rehabilitation(復(fù)原). No physical therapy(治療). I’m not putting any effort into trying to walk and then be miserable when I fail.”
“Trying is never failure.”
What made me finally try? The answer is simpler than I’d have ever imagined. That day I tried walking on my own, I had simply said to myself, “Why not?”
When I walk I have a Frankenstein-style gait. I get embarrassed so I explain. I met a gal who said, “Stop excusing yourself. Walk proud!” She’s just one of the many who’ve taught me that if I open my heart to acceptance, the world is filled with support teams.
One morning my husband, Bob, said there was a huge present for me in our driveway. He had researched “bicycles for disabled people.” It was a 300 pound cycle for two. The seats were side by side. He could pedal while I sat by him and enjoyed the outdoors again.
Um... did I mention it came assembled with a set of pedals for me too?
Now, hundreds of miles later, after exhaustive hours of pedaling along beautiful bike trails, I only wish that we owned stock in Bengay.
【1】What’s the best title of this passage?
A. Having a tour
B. Realizing an Impossible dream
C. Walking with a cane
D. Suffering from disability
【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. My doctor concluded that I can walk again.
B. My brain could no longer send signals.
C. They're four famous doctors in my medical team.
D. My medical team’s conclusion took my hope away.
【3】The author didn’t want to try walking because _______.
A. her doctors said he couldn’t get any better
B. her friend’s words is unbelievable
C. she was miserable when he failed that time
D. trying is never failure
【4】The bicycle Bob found can be _____.
A. a 150 pound cycle for one
B. a bicycle for disabled people
C. a huge present that he sent.
D. of the same size as a normal one.

【題目】七選五。
What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red? 【1】 . Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. 【2】 . If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
【3】. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. 【4】 . A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自殺) than any other bridge in the area---until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
【5】 . It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
A. On the other hand, black is depressing.
B. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as grow up --- we are born with our preference.
C. The rooms are painted in different colours as you like.
D. If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.
E. Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active.
F. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colours.
