C
I’ve been told that in China，having a pet，particularly a dog，is often considered to be a status（地位）symbol because it shows the family can afford to have an animal．It’s very different here．
In Canada it’s common to have pets．Many people have dogs；many others have cats，fish，birds or rabbits．Some keep what we call exotic（奇異的）pets，although keeping exotic animals is difficult，and because it can also be hard on the animals, the keeping of some exotic animals is not allowed by law．Some people do it anyway．
I like animals．As far back as I can remember my family has always had cats．Our cats．of course，wanted to go outside and it seemed reasonable to let them wander the neighborhood finding birds to run after，trees to climb and sunny places to sleep．As we always lived in a city，however，there was a problem．I remember more than once losing a cat that was killed by a car and it was heartbreaking．
Now，my wife and I lived in a small town．We no longer have a house—we live in an apartment（公寓）．We have a cat named Callie and she never goes out except onto the halcony（陽臺）so cars are no longer a problem．She’s about sixteen years old and will probably live to be twenty or more．The trouble will come when she dies．We’ve had a pet for so long that it seems like a natural part of our lives and without a cat around the  room it will seem somehow empty．On the other hand，we’re getting older and，given that a cat can live about twenty years we wonder if we’ll ever have another after Callie goes.
Having a pet is very good for a number of reasons．It helps to teach children how to look after a living creature，makes them realize that animals have feelings just like we do and that, in many ways，we depend on each other．For older people like me an animal is a companion（伙伴）and a comfort to have around．A pet，properly treated, returns the favor by giving back unconditional love．Wouldn’t this world be a great place if people could learn how to do that !
64．The writer keeps a cat as a pet now because___________．
A．she feels lonely living in the countryside
B．it acts as her companion
C．her family is used to keeping a cat
D．it can helps her teach her children．
65．What will happen after the writer’s pet，Callie dies?
A．She will surely buy another one．     B．She won’t keep pets any longer．
C．She will remember it for a long time． D．Her room will be empty．
66．What should people do in keeping a pet according to the text?
A．Not allow it to go out of the room．   B．Catch birds for him to play with．
C．Let it wander outside as it likes．     D．Not live in the city．
67．What can be the best title for the passage?
A．How to keep a pet．               B．My pet，Callie．
C．Keeping Pets in Canada．           D．It’s the Animal in Me．

64．B   65．C   66．A   67．D

SECTION B
Directions：Read the following passage．Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit．Write your answers on your answer sheet.
According to the sociologists, there are several different ways in which a person may become recognized as the leader of a social group. In the family, traditional cultural patterns confer (贈與) leadership on one or both of the parents. In other cases, such as friendship groups, one or more persons may gradually emerge (顯現(xiàn)) as leaders, although there is no formal process of selection. In larger groups, leaders are usually chosen formally through election or recruitment.
Although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ability, decades of research have failed to produce consistent（可靠的）evidence that there is any category of “natural leaders”. It seems that there is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common; rather, virtually (actually) any person may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular group.
Research suggests that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by different individuals. Instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a social group. Group members look to instrumental leaders to “get things done”. Expressive (有表現(xiàn)力的) leadership, on the other hand, is leadership that emphasizes the collective（集體的）well beings of a social group’s members. Expressive leaders are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing emotional support to group members and attempting to minimize (將……減到最少) tension and conflict among them.
Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group members. They give orders and may discipline group members who prevent attaining the group’s goals. Expressive leaders cultivate（培養(yǎng)）a more personal or primary relationship to others in the group. They offer sympathy when someone experiences difficulties and try to resolve issues that threaten to divide the group. As the difference in these two roles suggest, expressive leaders generally receive more personal affection from group members; instrumental leaders, if they are successful in achieving group goals, may enjoy a more distant respect.
81. How are leaders usually chosen? (不超過12個單詞)
__________________________________________________________
82. What do expressive leaders generally focus on? （不超過5個詞）
__________________________________________________________
83. What kind of person may be considered a leader according to the writer? (不超過17個單詞)
__________________________________________________________
84. What does the passage mainly discuss? （不超過8個詞）

A
A man walks into a doctor’s office. He has a cucumber (黃瓜) up his nose, a carrot in his left ear and a banana in his right ear. “What's the matter with me?” he asks the doctor. The doctor replies, “You’re not eating properly.”
This is a popular joke among British school children. It shows Britain's famous dry and satirical (諷刺的) way of seeing the funny side of life. People say this unique sense of humor is one of Britain's national characteristics.
The British sense of humor is different from other countries because it is often more negative. When it comes to making the British laugh, there is nothing that works better than a socially inappropriate (不恰當?shù)? joke. It reflects the culture where mocking (嘲弄) is part of everyday life.
While most Britons don’t take these jokes too seriously, foreigners often don’t understand them. A recent survey found that most foreigners who visited Britain think the British are “unfriendly and have almost no sense of humor”.
Are the British just not as funny as they think they are? Leo McKinstry, a British journalist, thinks the British are funny. “Accusing the British of having no sense of humor is like telling Rolls-Royce (勞斯萊斯) that its cars are cheap and not good in quality,” he says.
56. What does the doctor actually mean by the remark “You’re not eating properly”?
A. What you have had is the cause of these problems.   B. You are not having the right food.
C. You don’t eat the way people usually do.           D. You eat with the wrong cutlery. ( 餐具 )
57. The word “dry” in Paragraph 2 means ________.
A. without water or liquid inside                 B. special and popular among school children
C. dull and meaningless                        D. funny and clever while seeming to be serious
58. Why do most visitors, who once visited Britain, think that the British are unfriendly?
A. Because the British always take things seriously.
B. Because the British have no sense of humor.
C. Because the British are cold and difficult to get along with.
D. Because the British have a different sense of humor.
59. Which of the following is NOT the characteristics of British humor?
A. dry and satirical                             B. negative and mocking
C. encouraging and gentle                        D. clever and witty

B  
There was a Roman general in the 3rd century BC named Regulus who always kept his word. This fact was well known even to Rome’s enemy—Cathage. Once, he lost a battle and was taken prisoner and sent to a Carthage prison for a period of time. Finally, his captors came to him with an offer, which they hoped would cause the Romans to give in, thus ending the war.
They asked General Regulus to go back to Rome. They wanted him to tell the Romans that Carthage was winning the war and it was useless for Rome to continue fighting. They also said that if he refused to do as they asked, he would have to sail back to Cathage and serve as a prisoner of war in their prison. Since General Regulus was a man of honor, they knew he would keep his word and return to Carthage.
Regulus set sail for Rome and on his arrival, he was immediately taken to the authorities (當局). He knew how the war was progressing from the enemy's point of view. He told the Romans that they should not give up but continue fighting, as it would only be a matter of time until Rome would win the battle over Carthage. So the Romans decided to continue the war effort. Large groups of soldiers were sent to battle due to General Regulus' suggestion.
Regulus went home to see his wife and his children but only for a short time. With deep sorrow, he informed them that he had given his word that he would return to Carthage and to his prison. Though they wished he would stay, his family knew that he must keep his word and return. He returned to Carthage as promised but Rome soon won the war.
60. This passage mainly tells us that General Regulus was____.
A. a determined man                             B. a man of his word
C. loyal to his homeland                          D. a patient man
61. The underlined word “captors" (in Paragraph 1) probably refers to “____”.    
A. people who are taken prisoners             B. people who have lost a battle
C. people who have won a battle              D. people who keep others prisoners
62. After General Regulus' visit to Rome, the Romans_____.
A. continued the war                             B. made peace with Carthage
C. gave in                                      D. accepted their failure
