  51  The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide and other green house gases, which are closely associated to the big problem of global-warming．
Strategy 1: Bring your own cup to Starbucks
You’ll get a 10 cent discount, and it’s one less paper cup to end up in a landfill．While you’re there, pick up some free bags of spent coffee grounds to use as  ‘‘green’’  fertilizer in your garden．
The payoff:   52 
Strategy2: Turn off your computer
When in standby mode, your PC is still using energy．  53 
The payoff: Turning off a monitor for 40 hours a week may only save $5 a month, but it reduces CO2 by 750 pounds
Strategy 3: Reuse plastic bags
Instead of throwing away 100 billion plastic bags a year, try and get a second, third, or tenth use out of them．Better yet, next time you shop, try a reusable bag．
The payoff:   54 The amount of oil it would take to make just 14 plastic bags would run your car for one mile．
Strategy4: Use recycled paper in the bathroom
Most of the toilet paper we use is made from trees found in forests previously untouched by humans．
The payoff: If every household replaced one roll of toilet paper with a recycled one, 424000 trees would still be standing．Look for eco paper towels too．
Strategy5: Buy energy-efficient appliances（電器）
Replace the old fridge with an Energy Star appliance and you’ll use 15 percent less energy．  55  
The payoff: If we all used one Energy Star appliance at home, it would be like planting 1．7 million acres of new trees．
A．You can be proud of yourselves, even if you can only make one or two of these green changes.
B．Adding green to your garden is beautiful and earth-pleasing.
C．It might be a little expensive to buy, but you’ll save money on your electricity bills and help the environment．

Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours.
This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.
The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly
and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situation—for example, family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.
The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type, chronic（the opposite of
“temporary”）usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.
Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person’s social contacts, for example,
friends, family members, co-workers, etc. we depend on various people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share similar interests and activities. However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people may have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more. They question their popularity.
Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness as heart disease, while temporary and situational loneliness can be a sad, and sometimes dangerous condition.

Most people think that the older you get, the harder it is to learn a new language. That is, they believe that children learn more easily and efficiently than adults. Thus, at some point in our lives, maybe around age 12 or 13, we lose the ability to learn languages well. Is this idea a fact or myth(懸念)？
Is it true that children learn a foreign language more efficiently than adults? On the contrary, research studies suggest that the opposite may be true. One report, on 2,000 Danish children studying Swedish, concluded that the teenagers learned more, in less time, than the younger children. Another report, on Americans learning Russian, showed a direct improvement of ability over the age range tested; that is, the ability to learn increased as the age increased, from childhood to adulthood.
There are several possible explanations for these findings. For one thing, adults know more about the world and therefore are able to understand meanings more easily than children. Moreover, adults can use logical(邏輯的) thinking to help themselves see patterns in the language. Finally, adults have more self-discipline (self-control) than children.
All in all, it seems that the common idea that children are better language learners than adults may not be a fact, but a myth.

A. teenagers are more difficult to teach
B. Danish teenagers can learn Swedish faster than younger children

A. harder                                                    B. more efficiently(有效率)
C. more slowly                                                D. more carefully

A. adults have more self-discipline

Section C
Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each paragraph.  There is one extra heading which you do not need.(本題請涂在答題卡上)
(E)
A．The disadvantage(s) of credit cards.
B．Clever choice of credit cards.
C．The benefits credits cards bring.
D．Avoidance of economic trouble by using credit cards wrongly.
E. People’s misunderstanding about credit cards.
F. Ways to save on the interest.
 
80.______ Although credit cards are already a more acceptable part of the financial dealings, they are still regarded, especially in the time of a serious economic crisis, by many as being a major part of the “l(fā)ive now pay later” system.  Along with hire-purchase regulations, credit cards, according to some, provide encouragement to spend more money.  However, it’s only the fool who is dominated by the temptation to live, temporarily at least, beyond their means, and such people would no doubt manage to do so even without credit cards.
81.______ Advertising campaigns have already promoted a growing realization of the advantages of these small pieces of plastic.  They avoid the need to carry large amounts of cash and are always useful in emergencies.  And the monthly credit card bill is a loyal booker keeping your monthly purchase record and indicating your buying habits.
82.______ All the credit card organizations charge interest on a monthly basis which may work out as high as two percent a year.  But sensible purchase using a card can mean that you obtain up to seven weeks interest-free credit.  Using the card abroad, where items frequently take a long time to be included on your account, can extend this period even further.
83.______ It is worthwhile consulting more credit card companies before deciding on a particular credit card.  It is necessary to consider the amount of credit granted, interest rates, which may vary slightly; the number and range of outlets, though most cards cover major stores.
84.______ Undoubtedly, if used wisely, a credit card can cost nothing, or at lease help to tide you over a period of financial difficulty.  However, we should also remember that the wrong use of the little plastic may drag us deep into financial troubles.  More than half of the American personal bankruptcy(破產(chǎn)) and credit failure cases are connected with the wrong use of the credit card.  Therefore, every time you open your wallet and reach for a credit card, remember to ask yourself:” Is the item necessary to me?” and “Do I really need so many credit cards?”

第二節(jié)：（共5小題，每小題2分，滿分10分）
Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
A．Goods for auction (拍賣) sales
B．Definition of bidding
C．Way to sell more goods by auction
D．Auction sales in history
　　E.　Brief introduction to auctions
　　F.　Making a larger profit as an auctioneer
61. ______
Auctions are public sales of goods, conducted by an officially approved auctioneer. He asks the crowd assembled in the auction-room to make offers, or “bids”, for the various items on sale. He encourages buyers to bid higher figures, and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knocking down” the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer strikes a small hammer on a table at which he stands.
62. ______
The ancient Roman probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin auction, meaning “increasing”. The Romans usually sold in this way the goods taken in war. In England in the eighteenth centuries, goods were often sold “by the candle”: a short candle was lit by the auctioneer, and bids could be made while it stayed alight.
63. ______
Practically all goods whose qualities vary are sold by auction. Among these are coffee, skins, wool, tea, furs, silk and wines. Auction sales are also usual for land and property, furniture, pictures, rare books, old china and similar works of art.
64. ______
An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by potential buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a “l(fā)ot”, is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot 1 and continue in the order of numbers: he may wait until he notices the fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in.
65. ______
The auctioneer’s services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible. He will not waste time by starting the bidding too low. He will also play on the opponents among his buyers and succeed in getting a high price by encouraging two business competitors to bid against each other.

If you think American cooking means opening a package and throwing the contents into the microwave oven （微波爐）， think again. On one hand, it’s true that many Americans have cold cereal  ( 谷類食品 ) for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and instant dinners. From busy homemakers to working people, many Americans enjoy the convenience of fast food that can be ready to serve in 10 minutes or less. On the other hand, many Americans realize the importance of cooking skills. Parents－especially mothers－see the importance of training their children－ especially daughters. Most Americans think that there’s nothing better than a good home-cooked meal. But with cooking, as with any other skill, good results don’t happen by accident.
Probably every cook has his or her own way of cooking. But there are some basic skills that most people follow. For example, baking is a main method of preparing food in America. For that reason, Americans would find it next to impossible to live without an oven. American cooks pay special attention to the balance of foods, too. In planning a big meal they try to include meat, a few vegetables, some bread and often a dessert. They also like to make sure the meal is colouful. Having several different colors of food on the plate usually makes for a healthy meal.
For those who need guidance in their cooking, or for those who have just run out of ideas, recipes are a great help. Recipes list all the ingredients for a dish ( generally in the order used ), the amount of each to use, and a description of how to put them together.
61.This passage mainly tells us that _______________.
A.Americans usually have fast food, but they pay special attention to cooking as well.
B.without an oven, Americans find it impossible to live conveniently.
C.Americans pay special attention to recipes and nutritious meals.
D.Americans like to have several different colors of food on the plate.
62.The underlined word “ convenience “ in the first paragraph means _______________.
A.the lower and acceptable price
B.being suitable to one’s comfort or needs.
C.The high quality and low price.
D.The unusual taste of the food.
63.Many Americans have cold cereal for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and instant dinner because ______________.
A.they like instant food very much
B.they don’t like cooking at all.
C.most American working people are busy and don’t have time to cook
D.fast food is delicious and it usually contains a lot of vitamins.
64.By saying “ But with cooking, as with any other skill, good results don’t happen by accident, the author means _____________.
A.good cooking doesn’t come easily; it needs a lot of practice
B.just like any other skill, cooking may bring good results
C.cooking comes from one’s gift, not through practice
D cooking can lead to accidents
65.From the passage, we know that _____________.
A.Americans don’t care about food
B.Americans are not good at cooking because they like to use recipes
C.an oven plays an important role in cooking for Americans
D.while cooking, Americans usually run out of ideas

Indonesia is known as the country of islands. It has 17,508 islands. But in recent years, the popular tourist destination has lost some of its shine.
Due to rising sea levels caused by global warming, 24 Indonesian islands have gone under the sea. Scientists say 2,000 more will disappear before 2030. In the past three years, the Southeast Asian nation also witnessed its islands destroyed by a tsunami(海嘯) and typhoons.
“If no measures are taken to fight climate change, the beautiful islands will go forever,” scientists told environmental ministers from about 190 countries at a UN climate change meeting.
This week they are meeting in Bali, an Indonesian island. They are trying to reach a deal to cut the world’s emissions (排放) of CO2 , which makes the Earth warmer.
Indonesia is not alone. This year has seen more extreme weather hit the world. Canada and US suffered heavy storms and typhoons, while Australians were caught in the heaviest drought in a century.
In China, the average temperature this year went up by 1.2oC from last year, reaching the highest on record since 1951.
However, other parts of the country got too much rain. More than 700 people were killed in floods, landslides and storms. “These weather extremes are the more obvious effects of global warming,” said Song Lianchun, a climate expert.
Scientists say time is running out. To escape from the worst effects, global CO2 emissions need to be cut from the levels they were at in 2000 by 50 to 85 percent by 2050.
But in recent years climate change talks have been bogged down by arguments over who will pay the bill for cleaner technology. Developing countries are worried that the cut in emissions will slow their economic development.
“China will play a responsible and constructive rule in the meeting,” said Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao. The nation is now the world’s second largest greenhouse gas emitter(排放者). “However, developed nations should help developing nations deal with the global issue.”
53. Which of the following is in the correct order?
a. More and more islands are going under the sea.
b. The sea levels are continuously rising.
c. The weather is getting warmer and warmer.
d. Emission of CO2 is increasing.
A. a b c d         B. b c d a         C. c b a d       D. d c b a
54. What does the underlined phrase “weather extremes” mean in the passage?
A. Rising temperature all over the world.
B. Bad weather like floods, drought, and landslides, etc.
C. The disappearance of more and more farmland.
D. Different amount of rain in different areas.
55. Climate change talks have been stopped because countries cannot agree on ______.
A. who should be responsible for causing climate change
B. who will pay for the cleaner technology needed 
C. whether developed countries should help developing ones
D. whether developing countries should cut emissions of CO2
56. What is China’s attitude towards dealing with problems of climate change?
A. China will pay for the cleaner technology.
B. China will take an active part in dealing with climate change.
C. China thinks it is developed countries’ responsibility.
D. China will depend on developed countries to help it.

Then there is the wood detective. By studying a piece of wood he can tell what kind of tree the piece of wood came from. He can tell where it was grown, and how old it is. He can even tell you what the weather was like at a certain place the year Columbus landed in America. The growth rings on a tree tell him.
