B
One night last February, a seventeen-year-old Duffy drove home along a winding road, he saw a strange light thrown against the tree. “I knew it wasn’t the moon”, he said. “I drive this road all the time and I notice little things out of place.”
Duffy stopped his car and got out to examine. Below him far down in the deep valley lay a broken car with its headlights on. Thirty minutes earlier, a man had driven off the edge of the road, which has no guardrail. His car fell and rolled end over end, landing on its top more than two hundred feet below.
Duffy rushed to call for help, then returned and got down to reach the injured driver. Snow covered the valley and the temperature was below freezing. After struggling back up the cliff, Duffy took off his jacket and shirt and wrapped the injured man in time, along with the blankets from his car.
Life-saving deeds are starting to become usual action for Duffy, the oldest of seven children. When he was 12, he saved his ten-year-old brother from drowning. Two years ago, his three-year-old sister ate rat poison, and Duffy cleaned out her mouth, make her drink milk to protect her stomach and called doctors.
“We have tried to teach the children good values, and it looks like we have got some reward for it.” His father says.
46. The strange light came from ________.

48. Duffy wrapped the man because_________.
A. he was badly injured    B. he had lost too much blood  
C. he had nothing on      D. it was too cold that day
49. From the above article, we can see Duffy has saved ________ at least.  
A. two     B. three     C. four      D. five
50. “We have tried to teach the children good values” may probably mean Duffy’s parents often tell their children_________.
A. to help people in danger         B. how to save people’s lives

PART FOUR  WRITING
SECTION A
Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.
Supplying energy by nuclear power is a new trend in the recent years. However, it may be very dangerous.
First, the radioactive material must travel from its place of production to the power station. Although the power stations themselves are strongly built, the containers used for the transport of the materials are not. Normally, only two methods of transport are in use, namely, road and rail. Unfortunately, both of these may have an effect on the general public, since they are sure to pass near, or even through, heavily populated areas.
Second, there is a problem of waste. All nuclear power stations produce wastes that in most cases will remain radioactive for thousands of years. It is impossible to make these waste non radioactive, so they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented. For example, they may be buried under the ground, or dropped into deserted mines, or sunk in the area. However, these methods do not solve the problem, since an earthquake could easily break the containers.
Third, there may occur the danger of a leak or an explosion at the power station. As with the other two dangers, this is not very likely, so it doesn’t provide a serious objection to nuclear program. However, it can happen.
Separately, these three types of dangers are not a great cause for worry. Taken together, though, the probability of disaster is extremely high.

You know it’s truly amazing how the Jewish people survived after thousands of years of being slaves, persecuted(追捕), and even attempted genocide (種族滅絕)when Hitler’s Nazi murdered 6 million Jews! That’s why in 1934, Germany was the    36   place to be a Jew. When Hitler’s teenage gangs    37    his village, the little    38    boy, Heinz, was just 11 years old.
Every day Heinz’s parents taught their    39    how important it was to learn    40   . When the Nazi gangs terrorized their village on the streets daily, Heinz’s parents knew that just one moment of losing control of their    41   against their rulers could    42    the death of the family. So Heinz learned to stay out of their    43   , sometimes crossing the street or taking a    44   road home.
But one day, young Heinz was finally    45    by one of Hitler’s bullies(暴徒). For the first time, Heinz was    46   to talk to a Nazi youth. But by staying calm and    47    choosing his words, Heinz surprised himself when he    48    his way out of trouble and    49   this bully not to hurt him    50    to let him go. That day, Heinz discovered his survival skill of talking and    51    with others. It was a major    52   point that changed his life---and later changed the world.
After a few years, Heinz’s family escaped from Germany and moved to America. But Heinz never forgot how to talk with people and help bring    53    between enemies. You see, that 11-year-old boy who had    54    his first peace settlement with a Nazi bully, later became one of the greatest ambassadors of peace in the world. You’ve probably heard of him- not as Heinz- but by his American name: Henry Kissinger, the    55   US Secretary of State.

71    It might understand more than you think．
A dog named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany．   72   Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee．
In one experiment，the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects．   73   In four tests，Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right．As the dog couldn’t see anyone to get clues，the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words．
In another experiment，the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew．   74    
The correct object was chosen in seven out of 10 tests．suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of removing．A month later，Rico remembered half of the new names，which is even more impressive．
75   Even if they do，they can’t talk back．Still，it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog
every now and then You might just get a big，wet kiss in return!
A．The owner then told Rico to fetch the object，using a word the dog had never heard before
B．Do dogs more understand us than some friends?
C．It’s hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say．

Imagine growing a home from living trees instead of building a home from wood. Mitchell Joachim, at the MIT Media Lab's Smart Cities Group, along with ecological engineer Lara Greden and architect Javier Arbona, have proposed a system of homes that are actually a living ecosystem.
Joachim's vision is based on a gardening method known as pleaching, which involves weaving branches together to form living lattice(格子) walls. Since the growth patterns of trees are affected by wind and sunlight, it may be possible to manipulate the way a tree develops.
This idea is an extreme, yet simple and beautiful, form of green building. Not only does it not cause direct harm to the environment, but it is actually part of the environment. The house, which is a network of trees, would clean the air and also provide a home for animals and birds. "Not only does it do zero damage, but it will hopefully clean the air," says Joachim.
"A 100 percent treehouse would take years to create," Joachim said. Depending on the climate, a house could take anywhere from 5 to 30 years to grow. Fortunately, there's a way to speed up the process.
Ecological materials, Joachim suggests, should be included in the housing designs. For example, windows can be made from soy－based plastics that would flex (折曲) with the home as it grows.
So what happens when a home and the great outdoors are one and the same? A home would become an actual ecosystem, a community of plants, animals, and bacteria working together. The trees would also give off water vapor that would assist in cooling the homes. Solar panels and wind would help provide energy. Straw and clay could be used to insulate(使絕緣) the structures. The tree homes might even have soil pockets, where plants could grow from the structure itself.
Joachim's project is called MatScape, designing a house in California that will be constructed from 50% recycled and 50% living elements. He sees it as an experimental step toward the final living house.
57．The best title for this passage would be______.
A．Trees Find Its New Use                               B．Scientists Create New Houses
C．Grow Your Home Out of Trees                       D．People Begin Living in Trees
58．The underlined word "manipulate" in Paragraph Two can be best replaced by     .
A．build                      B．influence                C．weave                     D．provide
59．It can be inferred from this passage that__________.
A．treehouses will replace traditional buildings
B．pollution problem will be solved once for all
C．many Californians may be building their own treehouses
D．some ecological materials may move as the house grows
60．If this passage is continued, what would probably be discussed?
A．A final living house.                                          B．Joachim's MatScape project.
C．More information about pleaehing.               D．Some more ecological materials.

Ben walked quietly. He wanted to surprise the hunter. But then, what would he do?
Suddenly he heard a bird’s wings beating the dry grass. Ben moved quickly toward the sound.
He saw a colored head ... the head of a beautiful bird. The bird did not move until Ben came close. Then it tried to fly away, but one wing was broken.
Ben lifted the bird and held it close against his body. The bird fought to escape, but soon lay quietly in Ben’s arms.
Ben decided to take the bird home and fix its broken wings so that it could fly again.
He was almost out of the woods when he heard the hunter behind him.
“You just found that bird?” the hunter asked.
“Yes,” Ben answered.
“It is mine!”
Ben was afraid and tried to answer, but his mouth was too dry to speak. Nevertheless, he wetted his lips and said, “No.”
“I shot him and I say he is mine!”
“But he is not dead yet,” Ben answered, “and besides, anything on my land belongs to me.”
The hunter looked down at the little man and smiled. “Say, who are you?”
Ben’s voice shook with both fear and anger. “I own this land. There are signs everywhere that say, ‘No hunting’.”
“No need to get angry, mister,” the hunter said. “Control yourself.”
There was something threatening in the man’s cool quiet voice. And he had a gun. His arms were free and Ben’s were not.
The hunter stepped closer and said, “Give me that bird!”
Ben was white with anger. “No!” he answered. His eye glasses became wet and he had to look over the top of them to see the other man.
“Give me the bird and I will go away,” the hunter said.
“You get off my land,” Ben told him. “Get off right now...you do not belong here!”
The man’s face got red. “Mister,” he said, “I have been hunting here all my life. I grew up here.”
“That is a thing of the past,” Ben said. “I do not know who you are and I do not care. I own this place now and I am telling you to leave. You go back through the woods and get off my land!”
“Now look, mister,” the hunter said, “be reasonable.”
The hunter raised his gun.
A cold wind blew across Ben’s face. He looked into the hunter’s gray eyes. Ben was frightened. It was not too late, he thought. He could still give the bird to the hunter and return safely home...that would end this whole ugly business.
The bird struggled weakly and made a wild, strange noise.
Then Ben knew he could never give this bird to the hunter. This feeling gave Ben great strength, and he was no longer afraid.
“I will never let you kill this bird,” he said. “Get away from here. If you try to take this bird, I will fight...you have a gun and you are bigger, but that does not worry me. You will never get this bird...you will have to kill me first.”
The two men looked at each other. Ben’s fear returned. His knees began to shake and he felt sick. Yet he stood straight, wondering what would happen next.
They stood close to each other for a long time. The woods were strangely quiet. Then the hunter’s rough voice broke the silence.
“You are a fool.” And then to Ben’s surprise, he slowly walked away.
Ben watched until he was gone. His arms hurt, his body felt wet and cold.
67. Why did the hunter smile when saying “Say, who are you”?
A. He wanted to confirm Ben’s identity in a friendly way.
B. He was amused at Ben’s reply and interested in him.
C. He looked down on Ben and thought his reply ridiculous.
D. He meant to be friendly enough to get the bird from Ben.
68. What strengthened Ben’s determination never to give the bird to the hunter?
A. His strong dislike of the hunter.    B. His firm confidence in himself.
C. His ownership of this piece of land.   D. His concern and sympathy for the bird.
69. Why did the hunter remark that Ben was a fool at the end of the story?
A. Ben tried to protect a bird at all costs.
B. Ben pretended to be fearless although scared.
C. Ben stood close to him saying nothing for long.
D. Ben insisted on him leaving the land.
70. Which of the following best describes Ben’s state of mind in the incident?
A. Ben was willing to compromise.                B. Ben never thought of giving in.
C. Ben held out to the end.                                   D. Ben was sure about his victory.

Section C
Directions: 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 nee
A.Choose a limited subject
B.Draw in black and white
C.Use only simple actions
D.Use words sparingly
AB．Revise and simplify
AC．Create easy-to-recognize characters
 
76．
Consider straightforward, uncomplicated actions for you characters. While the actions may be symbolic, such as pumping up for a business deal, it should be clear what the character in the drawing is doing
 
77．
Aim your satire at targets that can be “summarized” in a few easily recognized images, You might choose a single person, such as a rock star, or a group or institution—such as business people, a nation, Congress, or basketball players, Labels or dialogue can help identify characters, but remember that the less “work” your audience has to do, the more effective your cartoon will be .
 
78．
While brief, simple dialogue may be necessary to get your point across, make sure it’s easy to understand and doesn’t take up much room. If you rely too heavily on dialogue, you are really creating an illustrated story or play instead of a cartoon. Labels and captions, too, should be minimal and easy to understand.
 
79．
Consider subjects that are familiar to your audience and that can be encapsulated in a few words and images. Try characters actions, or ideas that become laughable with only a little exaggeration or an unlikely comparison.
 
76．
Eliminate all that is extraneous and reword your cartoon until its impact is as immediate as possible. In fashion circle, there is a saying: less is more which can be applied to creating a cartoon.
