【題目】閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。
I wasn't surprised when I read that actress Helen Hunt recently stated that she would never allow her young daughter to become a child star. Ms. Hunt is the daughter of a Hollywood technical director, and grew up in Hollywood. Now in her late 40s, she started acting and modeling when she was eight and has probably seen a lot over those years in show business.
She has had a successful career. She earned four Golden Globes and four Emmys. She also attained the top honor of her profession when she won the Best Actress Academy Award for her role in the 1992 movie, As Good As It Gets. Given those accolades, Ms. Hunt is successful. There is no doubt that her early experiences as a child star prepared her for what has been an outstanding adult career. Given those achievements, why would this star declare she'll never allow her daughter, now at the age of six, to follow in her footsteps?
Everyone familiar with the entertainment scene is aware of the reasons for her attitude. Recent tabloid (小報) news headlines featuring the troubles of former child stars, among them Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears and the late Gary Coleman, may answer the question. Although Ms. Hunt managed to become a successful grown-up star, she apparently believes she's an exception.
What Ms. Hunt may be suggesting is that many very young stars go through unnatural childhoods on movie and TV sets. While they're earning big incomes, they're so pampered (縱容) by directors and praised by fans; they may get false impressions that their lives will always be that way. Then, within a few years, when faced with reality, they're hurt and confused. After all the overwhelming affection, they find they can't deal with the problems. That's often when drugs and alcohol take over their lives.
Helen Hunt has some other reasons why she doesn't want her daughter to be in the entertainment business. Many child stars can never make a successful transition to meaningful adulthood. However, as with many Hollywood movies, I believe there are both good and bad scenes about how it can be played out in real life.
(1)According to the passage, Ms. Hunt ________.
A.started acting and modeling when she was a little girl
B.has been acting for about 40 years
C.is the daughter of a famous actor
D.started singing when she was eight
(2)The underlined word “accolades” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.
A.difficulties
B.awards
C.salaries
D.opinions
(3)The author thinks Helen Hunt's success is mainly due to ________.
A.her hard work
B.the help of a technical director
C.her experiences as a child star
D.her talent and good luck
(4)From the passage we can conclude that ________.
A.few child stars will succeed in the future
B.there is no way to save the entertainment business
C.the author has a different opinion about child stars
D.meaningful adulthood only belongs to non-child stars

【題目】In a world full of Kates and Sarahs,you might think it'd be nice to have a unique name to help me stand out in a crowd. Being named Stacia (pronounced stay-sha) is not so lucky to me. I’ll get the occasional “Your name is so pretty” after introducing myself, but eventually my name causes me more lustration than happiness. For example, Microsoft Word always tries to tell me my name isn’t a real word. I was never able to buy a cheesy Mickey Mouse keychain from Disneyland as a kid (in other words, I didn't have a childhood). I couldn’t even pronounce my own name correctly until I was five.
I once had a professor who pronounced my name differently each class. After a while l stopped correcting him, and that's been ray reaction to strangers ever since. In other cases, I'd rather tell the cashier my name is Staci and save both of us, as well as the people standing behind me in line, valuable time.
Meeting new people gives me anxiety, and I've realized it’s easier just to lie about my name altogether in certain cases. Actually I did—so many times that Brittany is now my chosen “going out" name. It may have caused some confusion with my friends at first .who would let out a small laugh or confused look ,but I've trained them to keep a straight face whenever I came up with this fake(假的)name. Now going out on weekends means I get to have a shift of identity.
Frustrations aside, being the owner of a unique name has made me appreciate the little things in life. Someone pronouncing or spelling my name correctly on the first try brings me more joy than it probably should. I also love when I meet another Stacia and we get to bond over our shared struggles.
To any other Stacias reading this—I feel you, girl, P. S. I apologia to any real Brittanys out there. Thanks for letting me borrow your name!
【1】How does the author often feel about her name?
A. Annoyed. B. Happy.
C. Disappointed. D. Proud.
【2】Why does the author use a fake name?
A. To enjoy a different identity. B. To stand out in a crowd.
C. To save time and trouble. D. To make a fool of herself.
【3】What’s the reaction of her friends to “Brittany" finally?
A. They are laughing at her. B. They are used to it.
C. They are strongly against her. D. They are confused about it.
【4】How does the author sound when telling the story?
A. Guilty. B. Cautious.
C. Curious. D. Humorous.

【題目】閱讀下面材料,在空白處填入適當的內容(1個單詞)或括號內單詞的正確形式。
When someone has 【1】(deep)hurt you,it can be very difficult to let go of your anger.But forgiveness is possible and it can be surprisingly 【2】(benefit) to your physical,and mental health.So far,research 【3】(show) that people who forgive can have more energy,better appetite and better sleep.“People who forgive show 【4】(1ittle) anger and more hopefulness.”says Dr.Frederic Luskin,who wrote the book Forgive for Good.“So it can help reduce the tiredness out of the immune system and allow people 【5】(feel) more energetic.”
So when someone has hurt you,cool down first.Take a couple of breaths and think of something, 【6】 gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature,or someone you 1ove.Don’t wait for an 【7】(apologize).“Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing.” says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things in 【8】 same way.So if you wait for people to say sorry,you could be waiting a very long time.”
Next keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean 【9】(accept) the action of the person who upsets you.Instead,learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective.You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance. To gain perspective, you may want to write, a letter to 【10】(you) from that person's point of view.

【題目】閱讀理解
I was asked in an email about learning idioms in a foreign language. Maybe I am different from most people,but I do not bother with them. To me they are kind of dessert of language learning. They come at the end of a meal. Once you have filled up with the key words and phrases that are used in a variety of situations,then you can add a few idioms. And by that time, you will be able to pick them up naturally anyway.
I find that many learners have trouble with idioms,as if repeating some very colloquial expressions is going to upgrade how they sound in a language. In fact, it is the opposite. Idioms are difficult to use correctly.
Yes,occasionally you hear idioms and do not understand. But,in my experience,there are always situations where you do not understand. It is best to focus on the most important words,what they mean and how they are used. Certainly,it is best for a nonnative speaker to stick to standard speech.
Some teachers even try to teach the “real language”.Then you hear nonnative speakers saying things like “I goanna”, “You wane” etc.
You will learn all the idioms you need just by exposing yourself to the language. In general,you can save any phrase that you find interesting,and if that includes idioms,go to it. But I would not make any special effort to go after idioms. I,in fact,avoid them. If I come across something in Russian that strikes me as a particularly idiomatic use of words,I just leave it aside; do not even bother trying to learn it. If it keeps on appearing,then I will learn it.
(1)In the writer's opinion,when one learns a new language,one should learn its idioms ________.
A.at the beginning
B.on one's own
C.in the end
D.without help
(2)The underlined word “colloquial” in Para.2 means “________”.
A.oral
B.informal
C.formal
D.written
(3)It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A.idioms are the most important part in a language
B.the writer is not very willing to use idioms
C.nonnative speakers should learn more idioms
D.there are no ways to master idioms
(4)How did the writer develop the passage?
A.By inferring.
B.By comparing.
C.By listing examples.
D.By giving explanations.

【題目】About 97% of the world’s water is salty and is found in our oceans and seas. But, as we can’t drink sea water, how can it be important?
Every part of our seas and oceans contains an amazing number of animals and fish that live at different ocean depths. Most of the different species of animals and fish depend on simple plants for their food. These simple plants called algae (海藻) drift near the surface of the ocean and use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into food and oxygen. In fact, algae produce over half of the oxygen people breathe. How important seawater is!
Each plant or animal in our seas and oceans is an important link in a food chain. The algae are eaten in large amounts by microscopic animals, which are in turn consumed by larger animals. These food chains are delicately(微妙地)balanced.
The bad news about the food chains in the oceans is that they are under threat because of man. People once thought that the oceans were so big that it didn’t matter if we dumped rubbish into them or caught huge quantities of fish and whales for food. But we now know this is not true and fish stocks in the oceans have started to drop.
Thankfully, the world is taking steps to protect the future of our oceans by introducing international agreements to protect marine habitats. Most countries have introduced fishing restrictions(限制)to protect fish stocks in the oceans and new techniques are being pioneered to cope with pollution. Finally, the importance of protecting oceans is being made known to more people. This is just the beginning of a long process to protect the oceans for our future. We depend on the oceans for fish which are an important part of the human diet. How important sea water is!
【1】People used to think that the rubbish thrown into the sea .
A. wouldn’t harm the fish in the sea
B. wouldn’t change the balance of the food
C. wouldn’t be broken down in the sea
D. wouldn’t do much harm to the sea
【2】From the passage ,we learn that .
A. most fish and sea animals live at the surface of the seas
B. it is very difficult to break the balance of a food chain
C. over-fishing has caused the decrease in fish stock
D. it won’t be long before the problems concerning oceans will be solved
【3】Which of the following is NOT a way being used to protect oceans?
A. The use of international agreements.
B. Forbidding fishing to protect fish stocks.
C. The use of new techniques.
D. Raising people”s awareness of the need to protect oceans.
【4】What would be the best title of the passage?
A. The Importance of Seawater.
B. Life in the Oceans.
C. How to Protect Food Chains.
D. How to Deal with Seawater Pollution.
