What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, and red?___71___ Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist（悲觀者）. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colors preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. ___72___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.
___73___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.___74___ A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides 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.
___75___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 tells us that we do not choose our favorite color as we 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（樂觀者）, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.
E. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active.
F. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colours.
G. Colors do influence our moods——there is no doubt about it .

第二節(jié)閱讀下面短文，回答文章后面的5個問題。
（E）
Most people agree that the direct, assertive(過分自信的) American personality is a virtue, but it sometimes surprises foreigners. In many cultures, respect for older people or those in positions of authority keeps others from expressing their true feelings. But in the US children often argue with their parents, students may disagree with their teachers, and citizens may express opposition to the actions of government. If the soup has a fly in it or the meat is too tough to chew, the diner can complain to the waiter, if the boss makes a mistake, an employee will politely point it out.
Some  straight talks about the American personality must include the admission that Americans have their faults. The extremely competitive nature of Americans is probably their worst fault. Of course, competition isn’t always bad. As a matter of fact, it promotes excellence by encouraging individuals and business to try to do their best. But the desire to get ahead of others sometimes causes people to do things that are unkind and even dishonest. Also, Americans admire what is practical, fast, efficient, and fresh. Sometimes they fail to understand and appreciate practices that have greater respect for more traditional, leisurely ways of doing things. On the other hand, people from other cultures may dislike the practical, challenging American lifestyle.
Despite culture differences, most foreigners give Americans credit for their virtues. Americans are generally viewed as friendly, adaptable, energetic, and kindhearted. Most newcomers to the US like Americans, and the feeling is usually mutual.
Perhaps the greatest American virtue is a deep interest in new ideas and new people. In a nation of immigrants, the foreigner does not remain an outsider for long.
61.What does the passage mainly talk about? (No more than 5 words) 
____________________________________________
62.According to the passage, why do people outside America tend to avoid expressing their true feelings when they see their parents or teachers make a mistake? (No more than 15 words)
____________________________________________
63.Why is extremely competitive nature considered as one of the American faults?( No more than 20 words)
____________________________________________
64.What does the writer mean by saying “most foreigners give Americans credit for their virtues”? (No more than 10 words)
____________________________________________
65.Please explain the underlined word “immigrant” in English. (No more than 10 words) _____________________________________________

第三部分：寫作(共兩節(jié)，滿分35分)
第一節(jié)任務型讀寫(共10小題；每小題1分．滿分10分)
閱讀下面短文，根據所讀內容在表格中的空白處填入適當的單詞。
注意：每個空格只填一個單詞。
Do you often see silly words or drawings scratched onto the desks in your classroom? Have you ever found chewing gum on the floor of your classroom or around the campus? How many times have you seen broken windows in the classroom and school buildings? This is vandalism，the destruction or damaging of public property for no obvious reason．
Vandalism in schools is becoming a growing problem，and it is costing us more than money．It is expensive to repaint the desks，clear them of chewing gum and repair school furniture．Moreover，it costs us our sense of self-respect and feeling of pride in our school．
Many students see this damage and lose some pride in their school．
How，then，can we prevent vandalism in schools? First of all，we need to make students realize the importance of taking care of public property．School property should be treated with care so that it can be used by all the students．
Secondly，we should learn to obey school rules and regulations．These rules and regulations are there to look after both the students and the schools．Whenever we see any acts of vandalism，we need to remind the people of the rules and try to prevent these acts from happening．Thirdly，anyone who vandalizes school property should receive some kind of punishment．For example，if someone has torn a page from a library book，he or she would have to carefully tape the page back into the book．Such punishment is not harsh，but can make them know their misbehavior．
Vandalism costs schools money that could be better spent educating students，and it harms students’pride in their school as well．If we educate people about vandalism and work to prevent it from happening，then we will begin to see cleaner schools and happier students．

第四部分任務型閱讀（共10小題；每小題1分，滿分10分)
請認真閱讀下面短文，并根據所讀內容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰當的單詞。
注意：每空只填1個單詞。
Life or Lifestyle?
What is a lifestyle and how is that different from a life? A lifestyle is about brand names and buying identity or prestige（聲望）. Lifestyle gives a false sense of peace and acceptability that comes from others recognizing what you've bought into (as well as bought). If your car, clothes, and home are expensive, you're sophisticated and stylish. If you have the right kind of job or go to the right social gatherings, then you receive the superficial approval of others. This means that your self-esteem is always at the mercy of others, with no appreciation of you as an individual.
A life, on the other hand, is very different. A life is what you lead when you know what matters most to you. It is very simple and comes from being connected to what you know is important and being willing to put that first, no matter what others may think. When you create a life vs a lifestyle, your self-esteem comes from what's inside you, not what others think about you.
How many times have you seen someone (this used to be me!) work long hours in a job that they do not enjoy just to be able to maintain an expensive lifestyle? There was a recent commercial on TV that showed a man laughing in his yard saying: "I drive an expensive car, have a 5 bedroom home, a country club membership, a swimming pool and I'm in debt up to my eyeballs!" Every time I see this commercial I think about the book—The Millionaire Next Door. The book says that most of the people living in the largest homes are exactly like the man in the commercial and that the real millionaires are the ones you would never guess, because their focus is on creating a life vs. a lifestyle.
Lifestyle is expensive monetarily(金錢) and personally, because it costs a great deal to keep up appearances and do what you think is socially acceptable. A Life is not expensive. Rather than running out of personal or financial resources, a life generates energy and staying power. If we focus on what we wear, or what kind of car we drive, or where we live, then we are saying that how others see us is more important than what we think of ourselves. If we find out what our true beliefs and values are and choose to live by these, then the opinions of others don't drive our lives. This is not an issue of avoiding luxury for its own sake; it's about liberating yourself from the mindless consumption that society demands. It is about making the choices that agree with your values, instead of running out of your bank account or energy for no heart-driven reason.
How can you make the change? Understand the difference between a Life (being directed from within) and a Lifestyle (being directed from outside). Analyze your current lifestyle to see what it is costing you in money, time, stress, and energy to maintain it. Let go and make room for what is really important to you, what sustains you and brings you joy. Remember that who you are comes from within, not what you own.

D
Mayor Boris Johnson Monday outlined plans to make London “the cleanest, greenest city on Earth” by the 2012 Olympics and called for commitments from other world cities at a climate change conference. Leaders of the world’s 40 largest cities are meeting in Seoul this week for a summit on combating global warming –the third to be held since 2005.
“What we should do in Seoul is that we will stop the endless addiction of mankind to the internal combustion engine (內燃機),” said Johnson. He said at a press conference the world’s cities consume 75 percent of the world’s energy and produce 80 percent of the emissions which cause climate change. “The problem of our planet is an urban problem,” Johnson said.
He said the British capital wants to use the Olympics” to drive the greeting and the improvement of our city and noted that London is committed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 60 percent by 2025.
Johnson said the key measure was being taken to solve problems relating to housing and commercial buildings, which accounted for 70 percent of carbon dioxide emissions in London. This involved retrofitting (翻新) ---installing lagging – in large numbers of public buildings.
Johnson proclaimed himself a “passionate cyclist” and said he would push ahead with cycle superhighways around London.
London’s air quality problem, he said, was caused by vehicle emissions from 8,300 worn and used diesel (柴油buses, which could be replaced by low-carbon vehicle. In addition, there were also 32,000 taxis running on diesel fuel, which could be replaced by electric vehicle.
Johnson said there would be a few programs in the next few years to produce a “cleaner, greener” bus for the city. “The age of the diesel bus has got to be over in London.”
68. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to this passage?
London’s air quality will be improved in the near future.
The used buses running on diesel will be replaced by electric vehicles.
London promises to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 60 percent by 2025.
Something has been done to solve the problem of carbon dioxide emissions.
69What does the underlined word mean in the first paragraph?
A. resisting     B. supporting   C. agreeing        D. solving
70. The topic of the meeting in Seoul might be _____.
A. climate change                        B. global warming
C. London Olympics in 2012               D. green environment
71. If the passage was continually written, the following might be ______.
A. measures to end the age of the diesel bus
B. measures to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in London
C. measures to solve housing and commercial items
D. measures to replace the old and used vehicles

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye.
One   36  , when the boy was around two, the husband saw an opened medicine bottle.

When the boy fell down, the mother hurried him to a(n)  42   where he died. The mother was terrified. How could she  43  her husband?
When the heartbroken father returned and saw the dead son, he  44   his wife and said just four words. What do you think those four words were? The husband just said, “I  45   you, darling.”
The husband’s totally  46   reaction was positive. Their son could never be  47   back to life,so there was no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides, this would not have happened   48  he had taken the time to put the bottle away.
The mother had also lost her only  49  . What she needed at that moment was  50   and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.
Sometimes we spend time asking who is   51  , only to miss the opportunity to enjoy the  52   in human relationships we could receive by giving each other support. Why don’t we  53   someone we love for the “mistake” they didn’t make on purpose?
