每小题 2 分 满分 40 分 阅读下列短文 并从每篇短文所给各题的四个选项 A B C 和 D 中 选出最佳选项 并在答题 卡上将该项涂黑 A One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one s mistakes It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like I was wrong about that and it is even harder to say I was wrong and you were right about that I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in the neighborhood where I grew up and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons 箱 子 Then he related 提到 an incident and I began to remember clearly the incident he was describing I was about eight years old at the time and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping On that day I must have found my way to the dairy 乳品的 food department where the incident took place There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half dozen cartons The cartons were stacked 堆放 three or four feet high I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks 用心 爱心 专心5 Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons For some reason I decided it was up to me to put the display back together so I went to work The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened When he appeared I was on my knees examining some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken but to him it looked as though I was the criminal 罪犯 He severely scolded 责骂 me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs I protested 抗议 my innocence and tried to explain but it did no good Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident obviously the manager did not 51 The author was when he wrote this article A about 8 B about 18 C about 23 D about 15 52 Who should have been blamed for knocking off the stacks of cartons A The author B The manager C The woman D The author s mother 53 When the manager scolded him the author A was frightened and cried B felt the manager was right C did not say anything D tried to explain 54 It can be inferred that the author A regrets arguing with the manager for what he didn t do B has forgiven the manager for what he did to him fifteen years ago C would like to tell people never to be fooled by an egg sale D expects the woman to say sorry to him for the mistake she made B Taiwan police cannot decide whether to treat it as an extremely act of stealing or an even cheat Either way it could be the perfect crime 犯罪 because the criminals are birds horning pigeons The crime begins with a telephone message to the owner of a stolen car if you want the car back pay up then the car owner is directed to a park told where to find a bird cage and how to attach money to the neck of the pigeon inside Carrying the money in a tiny bag the pigeon flies off There have been at least four such pigeon pick ups in Changwa What at first seemed like the work of a clever stay at home car thief however may in fact be the work of an even lazier and more inventive criminal mind one that avoid 避免 not only collecting money but going out to steal the car in the first place Police officer Chen says that the criminal probably has pulled a double trick he gets money for things he cannot possibly return Instead of stealing cars he lets someone else do it and then waits for the car owner to place an ad advertisement in the newspaper asking for help The thought is supported by the fact that so far none of the stolen cars have been returned Also the amount of money demanded under 3 000 Taiwanese dollars seems too little for a car worth many times more Demands for pigeon delivered money stopped as soon as the press reported the story 用心 爱心 专心6 And even if they start again Chen holds little hope of catching the criminal We have more important things to do he said 55 After the car owner received a phone call he A went to a certain pigeon and put some money in the bag it carried B gave the money to the thief and had his car back in a park C sent some money to the thief by mail D told the press about it 56 The lazier and more inventive criminal refers to A the car thief who stays at home B one of those who put the ads in the paper C one of the policemen in Changwa D the owner of the pigeons 57 The writer mentions the fact that none of the stolen cars have been returned to show A how easily people get fooled by criminals B what Chen thinks might be correct C the thief is extremely clever D the money paid is too little 58 We may infer from the text that the criminal knows how to reach the car owners because A he reads the ads in the newspaper B he lives in the same neighborhood C he has seen the car owners in the park D he has trained the pigeons to follow them C This year some twenty three hundred teenagers from all over the world will spend about ten months in U S homes They will attend U S schools meet U S teenagers and form impressions of the real America At the same time about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world Here is a two way student exchange in action Fred nineteen spent last year in Germany with George s family In turn George s son Mike spent a year in Fred s home in America Fred a lively young man knew little German when he arrived but after two months study the language began to come to him The school was completely different from what he had expected much harder Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States There were almost no outside activities Family life too was different The father s word was law and all activities were around the family rather than the individual Fred found the food too simple at first Also he missed having a car Back home you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time In 用心 爱心 专心7 Germany you walk but you soon learn to like it At the same time in America Mike a friendly German boy was also forming his idea I suppose I should criticize American schools he says It is far too easy by our level But I have to say that I like it very much In Germany we do nothing but study Here we take part in many outside activities I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens There ought to be some middle ground between the two 59 This year teenagers will take part in the exchange programme between America and other countries A twenty three hundred B thirteen hundred C over three thousand D less than two thousand 60 What is particular in American school is that A there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings B there are a lot of outside activities C students usually take fourteen subjects in all D students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car 61 The whole exchange programme is mainly to A help teenagers in other countries know the real America B send students in America to travel in Germany C have teenagers learn new knowledge D let students learn something about other countries 62 After experiencing the American school life Mike thought A a better education should include something good from both American and Germany B German schools trained students to be better citizens C American schools were not as good as German schools D the easy life in the American school was more helpful to students D I couldn t believe my eyes There right in front of me was a small piece of wood eating a green leaf I looked again It was still eating the leaf Was I seeing things Had the hot sun gotten to me After all it was summer in Costa Rica a country in Central America I paused wiping sweat from my eyes Then I moved the wood with my finger It stopped It looked up at me with big triangular eyes Surprise It was a mantid a kind of insect instead of a piece of wood The mantid was hanging upside down on a branch Its wings made it look like a piece of tree bark Then I noticed something else The leaf wasn t a leaf at all The hungry mantid was really eating another insect a katydid By now all that was left of the katydid was a pair of wings A few moments later the wings dropped to the ground The mantid folded its long legs It sat still Now it looked even more like a piece of wood than when I had first seen it I thought about how I had been fooled by these clever animals Then I thought about how the two insects go about trying to trick each other Both mantids and Katydids are 用心 爱心 专心8 masters of disguise Katydids are particularly good at it Many look like something they are not Katydids often look like plants Many seem to be leaves Others look like blades of grass All day the bugs try to stay perfectly still Because their bodies look like plants most predators don t bother them while katydids eat plants 63 What is the passage mainly about A An experience of watching insects B The fighting between mantids and katydids C The disguise of mantids and katydids D The living habits of mantids and katydids 64 What caused the author not to believe his eyes at first A The sight of wood eating a leaf B The wood moving quickly C The sun being very hot D Mantids and katydids are fighting for food 65 When the mantid was hanging upside down on a branch it was A having a rest under the tree B waiting for its other food C eating a leaf from the branch D enjoying its food a katydid 66 According to the passage it can be inferred that the mantid A mainly lives on the green leaves B is easy to be found by a katydid C looks more like a green leaf D is a kind of meat eater E How can we get ride of garbage Do we have enough sources to meet our future energy needs These are two important questions that many people are asking today Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time They suggest using garbage as energy source For a long time people burried garbage or put it on empty land Now empty land is limited But more and more garbage is produced each year But garbage can be a good fuel to use The things in garbage do not look like coal oil or natural gas but they are chemically similar to these fossil fuels As we use up our fossil fuel supplies we might be able to use garbage as an energy source Burning garbage is not a new idea Some cities in Europe and the United State have been burning garbage for many years The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil buildings In Paris France some power plants burn almost 2 millon billion tons of the city s garbage each year The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil But there are problems in using garbage as a fuel Garbage that burns easily such as food white bags and paper must be separated from metals glass and other materials that do not burn easily This seperation process is normally costly Another problem is that burning garbage can pollute the air Our fossil fuel supplies are limited Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs This method can also reduce the amount of garbage piling up on the earth 67 What are people of today s world often wondering according to this passage 用心 爱心 专心9 A How to burn garbage scientifically in the future B How to make electricity by burning garbage C How to solve the problem separating
