    Londoners are great readers．They buy large numbers of newspapers，magazines and books

-especially paperbacks(平裝書)，which are still cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises in the cost of printing. They still continue to buy“proper”books，too，printed on good paper．

    There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in(以……為主) book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London．Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which is said to be“the biggest bookshop in the world”to the tiny，dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens' time. Some of these shops stock，or will make efforts to get，any kind of book．but many of them specialize in second-hand books，in art books，in foreign books，in books on economics，politics or any other subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes solely in books about ballet.

    Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books．Charing Cross Road is not the cheapest．For really cheap second-hand books．collectors must go to some less well-known places，to Farringdon Road．for example，in the East Central district of London. Bookshops are the finest buildings in this area．Instead，the booksellers come along each morning and put lots of books on to small barrows(手推車)which line the streets. The collectors, some professionals and some amateurs(業(yè)余愛好者)，who have been waiting for them，run quickly towards the books．In places like this one can still，occasionally，pick up for a few pence an old book that may be worth many pounds．

1．According to the passage，we know that     

    A．Londoners like borrowing books from libraries

    B．Londoners like buying books，magazines and newspapers

    C．Londoners like reading books in libraries

    D．Londoners don't like buying“proper”books

2．Chafing Cross Road is well-known for          

    A．lending books  B．publishing books  C．printing books   D．selling books

3．The underlined word“solely”in the second paragraph means“      ”．

    A．wholly          B．partly                   C．only              D．seldom

4．What do we know from the last paragraph?

    A．Where expensive new books are sold．    B．Where cheap new books are sold

    C．Where cheap old books are sold          D ．Where expensive old books are sold

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。

　　Most of us think that when we step under a shower we’re getting clean．We are, but we're also giving a home to lots of tiny little creatures we didn't even know about．

　　A showerhead carries thousands of bacteria(細菌)called Mycobacterium．These can cause problems like coughs and tiredness, and a general feeling of poorliness(身體不舒服)．When you turn on the water, the bacteria go from the showerhead onto and into your body．

　　This is a finding of Norman R．Pace and his team at the University of Colorado, in the US．The scientists investigated bacteria in all kinds of human environment, including showers．

　　Pace's team looked at 45 showerheads in nine American cities．They discovered that 30 percent of them had large amounts of flying Mycobacterium．

　　But Pace said that they pose few threats to the health．Only those with a frail(脆弱的)immune(免疫的)system might need to worry．

　　He told the New York Times that the bactertia are not as unpleasant as might be thought．He said that having a shower is no more dangerous than anything else we do in the morning．

　　But for those who feel sick about the idea of all those microorganisms(微生物), he had some advice．

　　Let the water run for 30 seconds before getting into the shower．Why? The number of bacteria is smaller than when the water is just turned on．If that seems like a waste of water, he added that you could also change your showerhead every few months．

　　But Pace had good news too．He has also been testing the air in US subways．Apart from iron particles(粒子), which are ground off the track by the wheels of trains, subway air is fresh．The reason is that a train's movement pumps fresh outdoor air into the tunnels(隧道)．

　　Pace explained that he wanted to understand the natural microbial(微生物的)environments of public places．This kind of knowledge might help detect the microbes to be used in a bioterrorist(生物恐怖分子)attack．

(1)

According to the finding of Norman R．Pace, after taking a shower, we might ________．

[　　]

A．

get much dirtier

B．

be covered by bacteria

C．

get a frail immune system

D．

catch a cough or feel tired

(2)

Pace's research into showers shows that ________．

[　　]

A．

there is no reason to fear microorganism

B．

shower water contains much less bacteria after being left to run for 30 second

C．

having a shower in the morning is more dangerous than at other time

D．

of 45 showerheads surveyed in nine cities, 30 carried large amounts of Mycobacterium

(3)

According to the research of Pace's team, which of the following contributes to fresh air in US subways?

[　　]

A．

Train wheels．

B．

Iron particles．

C．

The movement of the trains．

D．

Air conditioners on the trains．

(4)

The word “detect” in the last paragraph probably means “________”．

[　　]

A．

to discover

B．

to protect

C．

to make

D．

to prevent

Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺騙)?When someone tells you something that is true，but leaves out important information that should be included. he can give you a false picture．

For example，someone might say，“I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票)．It was great．I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”

This guy’s a winner，right? Maybe，maybe not．We then discover that he bought $ 200 worth of tickets，and only one was a winner．He’s really a big loser!

He didn’t say anything that was false，but he left out important information on

purpose．That’s called a half truth．Half truths are not technically lies，but they are

just as dishonest．

Some politicians often use this trick．Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last

term，her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs．Then she seeks an

 other term．One of her opponents(對手)says，“During Governor Smith’s term，the

 state lost one million jobs!” That’s true．However，an honest statement would have

 been，“During Governor Smith's term，the state had a net gain of two million jobs．’’

Advertisers(廣告商)will sometimes use half—truths．It’s against the law to make

false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth．An advertisement might say，

“Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to  take Yucky Pills to cure toothache．”It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky

Company．

This kind of deception happens too often．It’s a sad fact of life：Lies are lies，and

sometimes the truth can 1ie as well．

How much did the lottery winner lose?

A．one hundred dollars．           B．Two hundred dollars．

C．Three hundred dollars．         D．Four hundred dollars．

We may infer that the author believes people should

A．buy lottery tickets if possible       B．make use of half—truths

C．be careful about what they are told   D．not trust the Yucky Company

What do the underlined words “net gain” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A．final increase                     B．big advantage

C．1arge share                      D．total number

What can we know from the example of the Yucky Pill advertisement?

A．False statements are easy to see through．

B．Half-truths are often used to mislead people．

C．Doctors like to act in advertisements．

D．Advertisements are based on facts．

How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to deceive?

A．One．    B．Two．    C．Three．  D．Four．

Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．Using half truths is against the law．

B．Technically，half truths are in fact lies．

D．It’s against the law to make false statements．

A professor I have worked pretty closely with has been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. It has been devastating(悲慘的) for his family and heartbreaking for his students.
What made him extraordinary was not only that he was a rising star. He had only recently collected the highest honors for young researchers at the White House. We truly admire him—as someone put it, ‘He always has a smile and a kind word for everyone.” It is very hard to find someone who is extremely intelligent should be so nice a human being.
I decided that we needed him to know our attitude and also how we are all praying for his recovery. I bought him a simple card which read, ‘Healing thoughts and wishes coming your way.” I met all the students he worked closely with and got them to sign on it. Each student in his laboratory signed and also added a message. ‘We love you so much”, ‘We miss you! We need you back here—recover soon”… These were some of the messages that were written. Most of the students were really glad we were doing this and said it was a very good idea to give it to him.
He is still undergoing intense treatment, and along with his family is trying his best to stay optimistic and hopeful. I didn’t see a trace of self-pity or sadness when I met him last week. Instead, he paid attention to every word of my presentation and asked me several questions related to my work. I was amazed at how much he gave his 100% on that day in spite of being in pain because of chemotherapy( 化療)，he did not know if he even had another month to live. “I am trying to focus on staying positive, hoping to be back this summer,” he said.
Needless to say, I saw an expression of joy and hope on his face as he opened the card. He said he was truly touched to see the messages from the students he worked closely with.
There is one thing I learnt from last week: It is so important to tell people how much they mean to us and what an inspiration they are before it becomes too late. My professor, in spite of being too sick to teach classes, has managed to continue being a great teacher, introducing his last valuable message to us.
【小題1】The professor was admired because _______.

A．he was very intelligentB．he had won many honors
C．he had noble personalitiesD．he was very determined
【小題2】What do the underlined words “our attitude” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Our worry about his health.B．Our pray for his health.
C．Our admiration for him.D．Our pity for him.
【小題3】 When the writer visited the professor at hospital, what surprised him was that the professor ________.
A．was suffering form great painB．was still very confident
C．didn’t know he would die soonD．still cared for others
【小題4】 Of the following statements, the writer may agree that _________.
A．the professor loves his job very much
B．few students supported the writer’s decision at first
C．the professor will go back to teach this summer
D．the professor often feels sorry for himself
【小題5】According to the last paragraph, what did the author learn?
A．One should remain optimistic all the time.
B．It is important to let people know about their importance.
C．Teachers should have a positive influence on their students.
D．It is never too late to make a right decision.
