試題分析：西班牙國王查爾斯3世最近得到一個令他憂心的報(bào)告。 報(bào)告說俄羅斯探險(xiǎn)家已經(jīng)找到一個被叫做加利福尼亞的土地，但是200年前西班牙就宣稱這片土歸自己所有，但是西班牙從來沒有在加利福尼亞建立定居點(diǎn)。查爾斯國王認(rèn)為保住加利福尼亞的方法是定居。并采取了一系列的措施。

【1】B根據(jù)上句：報(bào)告說俄羅斯探險(xiǎn)家已經(jīng)找到一個被叫做加利福尼亞的土地，下句：但是西班牙從來沒有在加利福尼亞建立定居點(diǎn)。因此空格上表達(dá)的意思是：但是200年前西班牙就宣稱這片土歸自己所有。故選B。

【2】A根據(jù)上句：查爾斯國王命令沿著，太平洋加利福尼亞海岸開發(fā)出一系列的農(nóng)場式社區(qū)。因此可知下句表達(dá)的是：這些定居地將提供貿(mào)易，并逐步成長為更大的城市。故選A。

【3】C根據(jù)上一句：西班牙人就想要在那定居，西班牙宣稱加利福尼亞將會更安全。空格后一句：查爾斯國王和他的支持者決定先建被稱作布道場的教堂。因此可知：加利福尼亞沿岸居民沒有人這么做。故選C。

【4】G根據(jù)上一句：布道場就是羅馬天主教，教會領(lǐng)導(dǎo)將人們轉(zhuǎn)化成基督的信徒。下一句應(yīng)該是：他們像那些想成為教會一員的人們傳授信仰。故選G。

【5】F根據(jù)上一句：一個被叫做圣芳濟(jì)會的天主教會團(tuán)體想要建立定居點(diǎn)。再根據(jù)空格后：Serra于1713年出生在西班牙Mallorca島上，因此可知這里表達(dá)的是：他們們選出一個叫Junipero Serra年輕的牧師開始了這項(xiàng)工作。故選F。

【題目】Sir,

Just over six months ago, I saw an advertisement in the Morning Mail for a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare. Your company, Cosmo books Ltd., offered this set (eight books of plays and two books of poetry) at what was claimed to be a ‘remarkable’ price: fifteen pounds and fifty pence, including postage and packing. I had wanted a set of Shakespeare’s plays and poems for some time, and these books, in red imitation leather, looked particularly attractive; so I sent for them.

Two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of the complete works of Charles Dickens which I had not ordered. So I returned the Dickens books to you, with a cheque for fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of Shakespeare. Two more weeks passed. Then there arrived on my door step a second set of the works of Shakespeare, the same set of novels by Dickens and a six book set of the plays of Moliere, in French. Since I do not read French, these were of no use to me at all. However, I could not afford to post all these books back to you, so I wrote to you at the end of August of last year, instructing you to come and collect all the books that I did not want, and asking you not to send any other books until further notice.

You did not reply to that letter. Instead you sent me a bill for forty two pounds, and a set of the plays of Schiller, in German. Since then, a new set of books has arrived every two weeks, the works of Goethe, the poems of Milton, the plays of Strindberg; I hardly know what I have. The books are still all in their boxes, in the garage, and my car has to stand in the rain outside.

I have no room for any more books, and even if I read from now until the Last Judgment, I should not finish reading all the books that you have sent me.

Please send no more books, send no more bills, send no more angry letters demanding payment. Just send one large lorry and take all the books away, leaving me only with the one set of the complete works of Shakespeare for which I have paid.

Yours faithfully,

SIMON WALKER

【題目】The US will seek to expand its own oil production in an attempt to reduce dependence on imported oil and bring down fuel prices, President Obama says. New contracts for exploration will be signed in non-protected areas of Alaska and in the Gulf of Mexico.

In his weekly speech, the President insisted the US could reduce its need for imported oil and improve safety. Using his speech to tell Americans that he understood their concerns about rising prices, President Obama focused particularly on the price of fuel, which has risen in recent months.

US consumers have historically enjoyed cheap fuel, but have seen prices rise in recent months even though US oil production in 2010 reached its highest level for seven years.

Although the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 was serious, Mr. Obama said the Gulf remained a key part of the country’s future energy supply.

The President’s proposals (議案) come after Republicans (共和黨人) introduced a series of proposals that would expand and speed up oil and gas production.

The White House has criticized the Republican proposals for safety reasons, but Mr. Obama was clear in his speech that he felt safety and environmental standards could be maintained even though production might rise.

“I believe that we should continue to expand oil production in America — even as we increase safety and environmental standards,” he said.

“As a nation, we should be investing in the clean, renewable sources of energy that are the solution to high gas prices.”

Mr. Obama has previously called for a step-change in energy policy, saying the US must move towards getting 80% of its electricity from clean energy sources by 2035.

【1】Which of the following is NOT included in Mr. Obama’s speech?

A. The dependence on imported oil.

B. Improving safety standards.

C. The reason for the rising oil prices.

D. Expanding oil production.

【2】Mr. Obama thinks the Republican proposals are ______.

A. not safe enough

B. not environmentally friendly

C. practical

D. clear

【3】What can we learn from the text?

A. The US has got most of its electricity from clean energy.

B. US oil production is too small to keep the present low fuel prices.

C. The US produced the most oil in 2010 in its history.

D. The Gulf is still important in energy supply in spite of the oil spill in 2010.

【4】Which of the following can serve as the title?

A. Obama: US will seek oil in Alaska and Gulf of Mexico

B. Obama: US will import less oil to improve safety and environmental standards

C. Obama: the time of high fuel prices will be gone

D. Obama: clean, renewable sources of energy are the solution to high gas price.

【題目】Earlier this month, California police cleared what was said to be the largest homeless encampment in the United States. About 200 homeless people were living at the camp in San Jose, California. Officials said police officers and city workers acted because the area was unclean.

The homeless people were living near Silicon Valley, the country's high technology center. Some people there have made millions, even billions of dollars from high-tech devices and services. But others have no money and no place to live.

Federal officials believe there are hundreds of thousands of homeless people nationwide on any given day. Each one lacks a permanent place to live. Reasons for homelessness can include the high cost of housing, poverty and unemployment. Other reasons are mental health problems and just plain bad luck.

In Los Angeles, a group called PATH searches along flood channels and major roads for homeless camps.. Its workers look for people who have no permanent shelter.

Jorge Guzman was one of the people hoping to help the homeless. He says they make their camps where they are not seen -- behind buildings or in forests or parks.

"They just don't want to be noticed. They're doing their thing out here and, you know, they're just trying to survive."

City workers periodically clear away small trees and plants, uncovering homeless campers. Workers in Whittier try to move people out of homeless camps and into a home of their own. But housing is costly. Still, worker Tomasz says he has been able to help some people.

"It's really good to see the steps when people are leaving their encampments and they're transitioning to either transitional housing, and after when they obtain their own housing."

But there are many other homeless people still living on the streets or in camps, moving when their campsites are taken down.

【1】Why did California police clear the homeless encampment?

A. Because the area was unclean.

B. Because the homeless people often fight.

C. Because the government has built new houses for them.

D. Because they badly affected the image of the city.

【2】Which is NOT the reason causing homelessness?

A. Mental health problems B. Plain bad luck

C. Being abandoned. D. The high cost of housing,

【3】According to the passage ,where may the homeless live?

A. In buildings behind parks.

B. In camps in forests.

C. In apartments near Silicon Valley

D. In permanent shelters.

【4】We can describe Tomasz as ____.

A. generous B. honest

C. grateful D. helpful

【5】Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “take down”?

A. Write down. B. Break down.

C. Pull down. D. Set down.

【題目】請閱讀下面短文,并按照要求用英語寫一篇 150 詞左右的文章。

Once there lived a very rich and powerful king. All the people in his kingdom were afraid of him. But was he happy? No, he was always ill and unhappy. His money and his power could not help him. The doctors in his kingdom could not cure him either. He was so angry with them that he cut off their heads.

One day two famous doctors from another kingdom came to his palace.

“If you can cure me and make me happy”, said the king.“I will give you all the gold you can carry.”

The first doctor examined the king. He found nothing wrong with him so he said to the king,“You only think you are ill and so make yourself unhappy.”

The king was very angry when he heard this. He told his soldiers to cut off the doctor's head.

The second doctor knew he had to be careful. “Oh, King, you will be well if you wear the shoes of a man who is always happy,”he said. The king was pleased with his answer and thought that the doctor was very wise. He gave the doctor a bag of gold.

The king asked hundreds of people if they were always happy. They all said they were sometimes happy and sometimes sad. At last he met a beggar who said that he was always happy.

“Give me your shoes quickly, ”said the king, “and I will make you a very rich man. ”The beggar laughed, “I am sorry,”he answered,“I never wear shoes!”
