第三部分：閱讀理解（共16小題；每小題1.5分，滿分24分）
閱讀下列短文，然后從各題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。  
You’ve no doubt heard people say how much they “need” a holiday, when what they really mean is that they want one. Certainly, people working under pressure feel a very strong desire to escape from work and become less tight during holidays, and experience a changed environment.
However, work for many people today is office work and mental, rather than physical tasks. These people may seek much more energy-taking activities while on holiday, rather than simply lying on a beach. 
Once people become used to going on holiday, taking holidays becomes a habit. For many people the holiday is one of the last things to be given up, and indeed many workers have chosen to spend some of their last pay when being on holiday. It may give them a “l(fā)ift” in facing some difficulties in life.
Most of us also enjoy showing off the lovely tans --- dark skins we get from a holiday. So many tourists are now able to afford holidays in the sun that tans have become quite common; although we join a tan together with health, it has been fully shown that too much sunshine will result in high danger of skin problems, as well as drying out one’s skin and leading to more lines on your face later in life.
56.According to the passage above, more and more people choose to have holidays because they __________.
A. love working outdoors all the time    
B. want to get away from work
C. love enjoying the beauties of nature   
D. become rich and want a better life
57. When office people have holidays, they often _________ .
A. lie on the beach and enjoy sunshine  
B. spend more than they can afford
C. think about their work on the beach  
D. choose to do more physical exercise
58 The word “l(fā)ift” in the last sentence of the third paragraph may _______  
A. cheer someone up                
B. help someone find a job
C. be the last thing not to be given up   
D. bring good luck to someone
59 At the end of the passage the writer tries to tell the reader _________.
A. the importance of getting sunshine   
B. the bad effect of being on holiday
C. the result of getting sun tanned
D. the healthy look of being tanned

Jewelweeds are pretty flowers that grow in wet, shady spots all over the Northern Hemisphere. According to a recent experiment, they seem to know their own flower family —or at least, recognize whether or not they came from the same mother plant. Together with other through their leaves, but through their roots.
Scientists planted jewelweeds in pots with either siblings（兄弟姐妹）or strangers. Sibling plants were grown from seeds that came from the same mother plant. Stranger plants were grown from seeds from different plants.
When jewelweeds were planted in pots with strangers, the plants started to grow more leaves than if they had been planted alone. This response suggests that plants are competing with strangers for sunlight, since a plant with more leaves can receive more light and make more food.
When jewelweed seedlings were planted with siblings, they few a few more branches than they normally would if they were alone—but they did not start growing lots of extra leaves. This behavior suggests the plants are more likely to share resources, rather than compete.
The plants only responded this way when they shared soil. If stranger seedlings were planted in different pots and placed next to each other, for example, they did not grow more leaves. This different shows that the plants must use their roots to detect sibling plants in the same soil. In 2007, Dudley and her team studied the Great Lakes sea rocket, a plant that grows on the beach—where it may be hard to get fresh water. In that experiment, the botanists observed that when sea rockets were planed with siblings, they tolerated each other. But when they were planted with strangers, the sea prickets reacted by working extra hard to grow lots of roots, but not extra leaves.
The different types of plants may react in different ways, but they have one thing in common: the roots. In both experiments, on Jewelweeds and sea rockets, the key was the shared soil—and other plant species may turn out to show similar behavior. These experiments, as well as earlier experiments, suggest “The phenomenon is quite common.” Says Hans de Kroonof, an ecologist in the Netherlands.
57．In Paragraph 1, the author mentions a recent experiment of Jewelweeds to___________.
A．make a comparison  B．introduce a topic
C．describe a pretty flower   D．put forward a new theory
58．What can we know from the experiments done by scientists?
A．Jewelweeds can grow in the Northern Hemisphere.
B．Jewelweeds can grow in wet, shady spots.
C．Jewelweeds are more friendly to their siblings than to stranger plants.
D．jewelweeds can recognize their siblings through leaves.
59．If jewelweeds and their siblings are planted in different pots and placed close to one another, they will___________.
A．start to grow more leaves       B．detect the strangers 
C．compete with sibling plants     D．grow normally
60．The best title of the passage would be___________.
A．Flower family knows its roots
B．The growing conditions of Jewelweeds
C．Jewelweeds and sea rockets
D．The stranger plant recognize each other

第二節(jié) 信息匹配（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）
閱讀以下應(yīng)用文及相關(guān)信息，并按要求匹配信息。
以下是有關(guān)吸煙問題的觀點(diǎn)：

A． Smoking is sure to cause diseases. Just have a look at those people with diseases in hospital and count how many of them do not smoke; you may be surprised at the number. Even these few people might be passive smokers without realizing it.
B．We have to admit that the tobacco industry contributes a lot to many countries' economies. It also creates job opportunities. But it's harmful to people in the long run. It's a short-sighted policy to depend on tobacco for money.
C．Non-smokers absorb nicotine and other harmful chemicals just as smokers do. This is an especially bad situation for children — some of them absolutely have no choice but to be passive smokers and to have lungs that are not as healthy as a normal child's.
D． Despite all the strict laws against smoking, the statistics have shown that more young people are lighting up. While it was absolutely a taboo (禁忌) for a woman to smoke before, now it's quite common to see young girls smoking. Many even walk around with a lighted cigarette in one hand.
E. However, smokers may feel a certain amount of pressure. On the one hand, they might feel guilty about the amount of money they spend on cigarettes each month, which could have been put to much better use, but on the other hand, they may also feel non-smokers should be more tolerant of them.
F.    Smoking can provide constant consolation. When people feel worried or nervous, they just get a cigarette and everything seems to get right After a day's hard work, what they want to do most is smoking. It can be even better than drinking a cup of coffee.
以下是個(gè)人對(duì)吸煙的認(rèn)識(shí)，請(qǐng)匹配個(gè)人的認(rèn)識(shí)與相應(yīng)的觀點(diǎn)。
56．Christopher: As a matter of fact, smokers are under a great deal of pressure, not only because they spend so much money on cigarettes but also because they don' t think people around them are tolerant enough of them.
57．Amanda: If you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between smoking and bronchial(支氣管的) troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, you are certainly deceiving your­self.
58．Harrison: Smoking brings some psychological benefits. Most smokers feel it's enjoyable and that it can relieve daily stress. So why must we ban it and take away a lot of people' s pleasure?
59．Brandon: Forbidden fruits always taste sweetest. That is to say, the stricter the laws against smoking are, the more people want to smoke. What worries me is that more young people are beginning to smoke.
60．Douglas: If there were some ways to stop a smoker from affecting others, I wouldn't object to smoking! Secondhand smoke does great harm to non-smokers, especially to children, who are much more sensitive than adults.

This is an open letter to the three people who stole my handbag from the department store I am employed as a shop assistant.

When you took my bag, I don’t know what you thought you were going to get. With my wages, there’s not much left on a Tuesday. I hope the ￡5 was useful to you. I have informed the social security office so you won’t be able to cash the child benefit next week. I hope that won’t leave you too short．But if you really need a couple of pounds, I suppose you could always cash one of the two checks left in my check book．Of course, I phoned the bank right away and the check-cashing card is no longer valid(有效的), so it won’t be much use to you.

Actually I don’t mind about the money too much. We single parents who work to support our families understand only too well what it means to be short of cash. However, I don’t suppose it went very far among the three of you. Sorry about that!

I wish you had left the bag behind and just taken the wallet and check book．There were all kinds of papers in it, and notes and things that I really need. I really think that was very inconsiderate of you . I mean, how would you like something like that to happen to you?

Well, perhaps the bag will turn up. It wasn’t even an expensive one, just a plain, old brown leather handbag. You probably dumped it in the nearest rubbish bin or threw it into the bushes. We’ve looked around, of course, but no one saw which way you went after you left the shop.

I’m not really angry with you．I know how the pressures of modern living can affect us, but I am sad at the loss of my personal things. I feel offended and helpless. The police were very icy, and they just shrugged（聳） their shoulders. “It happens all the time,” they told me. Some small comfort, I suppose. But I’ve lost just a little more faith in human nature. And as my young son said when I told him what had happened, “Why? Mummy, why us?” I couldn’t answer that question. I wonder if you can.

1.In writing Paragraph 2, the writer wants to __________.

A. describe the contents of the bag in detail        B. give some suggestions to the three thieves

    C. tell the thieves they could hardly get any money  D. state the fact that she was careless with the money

2.Which of the following is the most valuable to the writer?

    A. The cash in her bag.                       B. The papers and notes in the bag.

    C. The handbag itself.                        D. The check books in the bag.

3. What can we conclude about the police?

    A. They have doubts about human nature.                     B. They show sympathy for the woman.

    C. They think the case quite common.                        D. They are unable to find the thieves.

4. Why does the author write the letter?

    A. To give the thieves a serious warning.                   B. To complain about the fall of human goodness.

    C. To call people’s attention to their belongings.         D. To express her affection for her valuable bag.

Proverbs(諺語) are quite common in spoken English. We do not normally put them in a composition or letter. Sometimes it is helpful if you know what common proverbs mean. Here are a few examples:

Once bitten, twice shy. If a dog bites me, I shall be twice as careful in future when I see it. This proverb is also used to apply to many things and not only to dogs. If you have been cheated at a shop, you will not go to the same shop again. 

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. If I am a hunter, trying to catch birds, it is better to catch one bird than to see two birds in a bush but not be able to catch them. Thus this means that what you have already got is better than the chance of being able to get something bigger in the future.   

Too many cooks spoil the broth(soup). When too many people do something together, they get in each other’s way and cannot do a good job.

To pour oil on troubled waters Is to try to calm things down. Oil is lighter than water. If a ship is in trouble at sea, another ship may come to help it. The second ship can send small boats to rescue people. However, it may first pour oil on the sea to make the sea less rough.

Don't be a dog in a manger(馬槽). Means “ Don’t be selfish.” In a stable(馬廄), the manger is the place where the horse’s food is put. Sometimes a dog will sleep in the manger and bard when a horse comes to get its food. The dog does not want to eat the hay in the manger but it will not let the horse eat it.

He’s sitting on the fence. Means that somebody will not say whether he is in favour of a plan or against it. He is sitting on a fence between two opposing sides, perhaps waiting to see which side will win.

He who pays the piper calls the tune. A piper is a musician . The man who employs or pays a musician can say what tunes the man will play. Thus this means that if a man provides the money for a plan, he can say how it will be carried out.

You can’t get blood out of a stone means that you can’t get something out of a person who has not got any of the things you want. For example, you cannot get a million dollars from a poor man.

1.Peter had a bicycle which was much too small for him but he did not want to let his younger brother ride on it. His mother was angry and said to him : “______”.

A．You cannot get blood out of a stone

B．Don’t be a dog in a manger

D．a(chǎn) bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

3.Mrs Chen wanted to buy a new dress. Her husband suggested that she buy it from a shop near their home. Mrs Chen disagreed because she had been cheated by that shop. Then she said: “ I won’t go there again because___.”

A．a(chǎn) bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

B．I am sitting on the fence

C．Once bitten, twice shy

D．too man cooks spoil the broth
