                                                                  Lowood School
   There were about eighty girls in the schoolroom, divided into four classes. The oldest girls were in the fourth class, and the youngest were in the first class. I was in the first class.
   All four classes had their lessons in the same large and very cold schoolroom. We had to sit there quietly, not saying a word, until the teachers came into the room together. The lessons-Math, History,French-were not at all interesting, and always followed the same pattern. First, we read some pages in a book and
then our teacher asked us questions. I tried to listen, but I soon got bored .
   After four hours, there was a lunch break, and we all went outside. Because it was winter, it was very
cold. Very soon, a bell rang, and lessons started again.
   Three weeks passed. One afternoon, the head teacher, whose name was Miss Temple, came into the
schoolroom. Mr. Brocklehurst was with her, and we all stood up as they entered. I stood behind an older
girl because I did not want Mr. Brocklehurst to see me.
   Mr. Brocklehurst walked slowly round the room. Everybody was very quiet. I closed my eyes and
wished he would leave. My hands started to shake, and I dropped my book.
   Mr. Brocklehurst stopped walking and looked straight at me.
   "Ah! The new girl," he said. "Come here, Jane Eyre!" Then he pointed at two of the older girls. "You two girls-put Jane Eyre on that high chair!" he said.
   "Look at Jane Eyre, everybody!" Mr. Brocklehurst said. "This child is bad. She will be punished! Miss
Temple! Teachers! Girls Do not talk to this child."
   Then he spoke to me again. "Jane Eyre, you must stand on that chair for two hours," he said. "You are a bad girl!"
   That evening, as I cried and cried alone, Miss Temple saw me. She came to me and held my hand. She was very kind.
   "You are a good pupil, Jane," she said. "And you are not a bad girl. I am your friend."
   "Thank you, Miss Temple," I said.
1. What were the lessons at the school like?
A. Short    
B. Expensive.  
C. Boring.    
D. Interesting
2. How did Jane try to hide from Mr. Brocklehurst?
A. She left the room.      
B. She stood behind another girl.
C. She covered her face.  
D. She went to the back of the class.
3. Why did Jane drop her book?
A. Another girl pushed her.  
B. Mr. Brocklehurst shouted at her.
C. She felt very nervous.
D. She was very tired.
4. Who put Jane on the chair?
A. Mr. Brocklehurst.    
B. Two other girls.  
C. Miss Temple.

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，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
A
A university math tutor has discovered the science behind “singledom”, finding that our chances of finding the perfect partner are just 1 in 285,000. Peter Backus, a tutor at the University of Warwick, published his “Why I Don’t Have a Girlfriend” paper after a three-year love drought.
His unconventional study uses a famous math formula called The Drake Equation(德雷克等式), which was first used to estimate the existence of extra-terrestrial(地球以外) life.
The results don't look promising for British singles. 30-year-old Mr. Backus found that out of the 30 million women in the UK, only 26 would be suitable girlfriends for him.
The dull equation takes into account the number of women aged 24 to 34, living in his home city of London, and who are single, meaning his chances of meeting his dream woman on a night out are slim.
The economics expert said: “There are 26 women in London with whom I might have a wonderful relationship. So, on a given night out in London there is a 0.0000034% chance of meeting one of these special people. That’s a 1 in 285,000 chance, so it’s not great.”
The puzzling Drake equation reads: N =" R*" x Fp x Ne x Fi x Fc x L, and helped pioneering scientist Professor Drake to predict that there could be 10,000 civilizations in our galaxy.
Mr. Backus simply replaced the original equation with his own criteria for a dream date, which included the percentage of women likely to find him attractive, and the number of girls aged 24-34 in London. He said: “The research may sound depressing to people looking for love, but the good news for singles is, it’s probably not your fault!”
56. Mr. Backus’ discovery in this passage is mainly concerned about ______.
A. whether there exists life out of our planet
B. the possibility of his being able to find love
C. how to get rid of singledom
D. what math can do to serve our daily life
57. What does Mr. Backus think of the result of his research?
A. Optimistic.     B. Depressing.      C. Unrealistic.     D. Exciting.
58. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Mr. Backus’ major research field is “singledom”.
B. Mr. Backus found a girlfriend three years ago.
C. Mr. Backus’ new thesis will surely be well received.
D. Mr. Backus has been searching for love for long.
59. By “the good news for singles” in the last sentence, Mr. Backus probably mean _____.
A. you don’t have to blame yourself for remaining single
B. maybe the discovery is not reliable at all
C. the result was based on his own criteria
D. there might be more dream date out of London
60. Which of the following statements is true?
A. This passage could be published in a scientific magazine.
B. The passage intends to prove there are other civilizations.
C. The passage writer doesn’t really understand the Drake equation.
D. Most women in London are not suitable for university teachers.

第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C、D）中，選出最佳選項。
A
Prisoner Mitchell King had a visitor— his wife. King was serving a six-year prison term in Auckland, New Zealand for armed robbery. But his wife didn’t want to be away from him for that long. So they held hands and they stuck. She’s rubbed her palms with super glue.
Their new-found closeness was short-lived. And their separation painful. Her technique is not one I'd recommend(introduce) for a closer relationship.
But if you want more closeness; if you desire relationships that are deeper and broader, more meaningful and longer-lasting, then remember the word "TRAVEL."
T is for TRUST. Trust is the glue that holds people together (not Super Glue). A relationship will go nowhere without it.
R is for RESPECT. "Do not save your loving speeches for your friends till they are dead; speak them rather now instead," writes Anna Cummins. It's about respecting others and letting them know that you value them.
A is for AFFECTION. Sometimes affection means love. Sometimes it means a touch. Always it means kindness.
V is for VULNERABILITY(harm). Though we may feel afraid to let another too close, no relationship will go anywhere without risking vulnerability. Entrepreneur Jim Rohn says, "The walls we build around us to keep out the sadness also keep out the joy." And the love.
E is for EMOTIONAL INTIMACY(親密). Learn to be open. Learn to communicate freely. What kinds of relationships you make are largely determined by how openly you have learned to communicate.
L is for LAUGHTER. Victor Borge got it right when he said, "Laughter is the shortest distance between two people." It's also the most enjoyable.
For relationships that can really go somewhere, just remember the word "TRAVEL." Then enjoy the trip!
56．The author intends to _________ by showing us the example in Paragraph One.
A. condemn the wife for her silly behavior
B. introduce new ways for closer relationships
C. tell us King and his wife would never be separated
D. encourage us to follow the wife’s technique
57．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph Four refers to?
A. Trust.                      B. Glue.                       C. Closeness.                D. TRAVEL
58．Which of the following agrees with what Jim Rohn says?
A. Walls should be built to keep out the sadness.
B. It’s unnecessary to avoid vulnerability for closer relationships.
C. Love will be kept out if you let another too close.
D. We shouldn’t let another too close because of vulnerability.
59．What does Victor Borge really mean by his word in the ninth paragraph?
A. Laughter will keep the shortest distance.
B. Laughter will make a closer relationship.
C. No relationship will go without laughter.
D. Laughter is necessary to make friends.

WASHINGTON(Reuters)-People who drink two or more sweetened soft drinks a week have a much higher risk of pancreatic cancer(胰腺癌)，an unusual but deadly cancer，researchers reported on Monday．
People who drank mostly fruit juice instead of sodas did not have the same risk，the study
of 60,000 people in Singapore found．
Sugar may be to blame but people who drink sweetened sodas regularly often have other
poor health habits，said Mark Pereira of the University of Minnesota，who led the study．
“The high levels of sugar in soft drinks may be increasing the level of insulin(胰島素)in The body,which we think contributes to pancreatic cancer cell growth,”Pereira said in a statement．
Writing in the joumal Cancer Epidemiology，Biomarkers & Prevention，Pereira and colleagues
said they followed 60,524 men and women in the Singapore Chinese Health Study for l4 years．
Over that time，140 of the volunteers developed pancreatic cancer．Those who drank two or
more sweetened soft drinks a week had an 87 percent higher risk of being among those who got
pancreatic cancer．
Pereira said he believed the fndings would apply elsewhere。
“Singapore is a wcahhy country with excellent heahhcare．Favorite pastimes(消遣)are
eating and shopping，so the findings should apply to other western countries，”he said．
But Susan Mayne of the Yale Cancer Center at Yale University in Connecticut was cautious．
“Although this study found a risk，the finding was based on a relatively small number of
cases and it remains unclear whether it is a causal(因果的)connection or not�！眘aid Mayne．
who serves on the board of the journal，which is published by the American Association for
Cancer Research．
Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest forms of cancer，with 230,000 cases globally．In
