It was the

9、 1 (28) of March. My husband was 2 (enjoy) the day off from work and watching me scurry(疾走) about the house. I picked 3 his dirty clothes, put away his work shoes, carried out his popcorn bowl which was 4 (use) for nights football watching, washed the breakfast dishes, wiped the coffee hed spilled a

10、nd ironed his shirts. It seemed that everything was 5 unnecessary thing he created for me.I found that he was thinking 6 (careful). I wondered 7 he was beginning to realize how 8 (importance) I was for him. Maybe he would offer to help. “I will give you a penny if you tell me what you have thought a

11、bout.” I said.“I was thinking,” he replied, “that one of the 9 (thing) I like best about you is how you always find ways to keep 10 (you) busy.”. 閱讀理解A13、 Ten years ago, many people thought that the age of the physical book(紙質書) was coming to an end. The objects that had been the companions(伙伴) of m

12、illions of readers for hundreds of years were about to die out. Soon, wed all be reading on little electronic screens and laughing at the memory of places called “l(fā)ibraries” and “bookshops”.But it seems not true about the idea of the death of the physical books. At least in the UK, as The Guardian n

13、oted, sales of e-books are falling while sales of paper books are rising. More surprisingly, its young people who are buying the most physical books. More than 60 percent of 16-to-24-year-olds preferred print books to e-books. The most popular reason given was: “I like to hold the product.”Books bec

14、ome very personal objects to lovers of reading. It often starts with the way they get them. Many buyers of books like to write down their name on the inside cover when theyve bought one. And we carry books around with us everywhere. If theres a mark made on the pages from coffee or food, it doesnt m

15、atter. These accidents make the book our book even more personal. Its as if readers of physical books make friends with them. Of course, some could say that the devices on which people read e-books, like Kindles and iPads are also objects that we like. But it isnt quite the same. A Kindle, can hold

16、as many pieces of writing as a whole library. But a story we remember from our time turning its pages in our favourite armchair enters our memory forever. Physical books are as valuable to some readers as items of jewelry or photographs of family members. This “friendship” people develop with books

17、isnt just about feelings. Research has shown that readers remember more information read from physical books than electronic ones.However, theres no doubt e-books are here to stay. They arent simply a “here today, gone tomorrow” thing. But its also certain that physical books, which have been in pro

18、duction since the fifteenth century, are here to stay, too.1What can be inferred from the passage?APhysical books will soon no longer be made.BSales of e-books and print books are both risingCLovers of physical books are mostly old people.DPhysical books are making a comeback in the UK.2Which of the

19、 following is NOT mentioned as a feature of physical books?AReaders can form a very close relationship with their books.BPhysical books may carry readers valuable memories.CReaders get more information from physical books than e-books.DIt is easier for readers to make notes on physical books.3Why di

20、d the author write this article?ATo explain why physical books will not disappear soon.BTo describe different reading tastes in the UK.CTo explain what makes physical books personal.DTo recommend that readers read more physical books.B14、 Today, an increasing number of people are always looking at t

21、heir mobile phones with their heads down. These people are called the “ Heads-down Tribe . Are you a heads-down tribe member ? Heads-down tribe members now can be seen everywhere.More and more traffic accidents are happening because more drivers use mobile phones when they are driving. In order to m

22、ake drivers pay more attention to driving, some new traffic rules have been made. For example, heads-down tribe members who use mobile phones while driving in Taiwan are fined. Car drivers and motorcyclists（騎摩托車的人）who break the traffic rule will be fined NT$3,000 and NT$1,000 respectively.As we can

23、see above, using mobile phones may cause accidents and even cost a lot of money. Besides, more and more interesting and strange facts happen to the “Heads-down Tribe”. Lets have a look at an interesting TV report. A man in America kept using his mobile phone on his way home. As a result, he bumped i

24、nto（撞上）a big lost bear. When he lifted his eyes from the phone, he was so scared that he turned around and ran away as quickly as possible. Another fact is that we can often see people in the restaurant eating face to face but looking at their own mobile phones. Its strange that they dont talk to th

25、e ones who sit opposite to them during the meal. Some of them even have fun communicating with others on the phone.Mobile phones are helpful and necessary tools for modern life. Are mobile phones good or not ? It depends on how people use them. Lets be “healthy” users and try to be the “Heads-up Tri

26、be”.1What do we know about the “ Heads-down Tribe ” ?AThey are cool kids.BThey are dangerous drivers.CThey are good at using the Internet.DThey are always looking at their mobile phones.2What does the underlined word “ respectively” mean in Chinese ?A分別地B迅速地C特意地D逐漸地3Where did the American probably b

27、ump into the bear ?AIn the forest.BAt a zoo.COn the street.DAt a park.4According to the passage, what do the “ Heads-down Tribe” do when they eat in a restaurant ?AThey enjoy their meals.BThey take photos of their meals.CThey dont talk to the people who sit opposite.DThey talk to the strangers who s

28、it next to them.C15、Macao is only forty miles from Hong Kong and it is easy to reach. You can get there by sea. It is an interesting place and it has a long history. Macao is a part of China and most people living there are Chinese.The first Europeans to go to Macao came from Portugal. More than fou

29、r hundred years ago the Portuguese went there to trade（做生意）with China. Some settled and made their homes there. They built strong forts（城堡）to guard the city and the harbor（港口）. They also built churches, schools, hospitals and other places. Slowly the city grew. People from many countries came to liv

30、e and work in Macao.Today many people visit Macao. Some only go there to watch dog-racing or motor-racing or to “gamble ”with their money, whether they lose or win. But Macao is a quiet and peaceful place. It is pleasant just to walk around and look at the old buildings and forts. You feel you are b

31、ack in the old days. Of course, some of the buildings are now in ruins（毀壞）. The Church of St. Paul has only the front wall with many steps leading up to it. But it is still interesting to see.When you are hot and tired, there are small cool gardens to rest in. When you are hungry, there are good res

32、taurants with many kinds of food. Nearby are some islands, which are also nice to visit and are easy to get to. There is certainly a lot to see and to do in Macao.1（小題1）Which of the following is NOT true?APortuguese were the first to go to Macao.BSome Portuguese settled in Macao and made their homes

33、 nearly a century ago.CThe city Macao grew slowly.DPeople there put up strong forts to defend the city.2（小題2）You feel in Macao you are back in the old days because _.Asome of the buildings are now in ruinsByou can watch dog-racing or motor-racingCyou go about and look at the old buildings and forts

35、some islands.DIn beautiful parks.5（小題5）What does the writer most want to tell us?APeople from many countries came to live and work in Macao.BPortuguese were willing to do business in China.CPeople in Macao serve good food.DMacao is a quiet and peaceful place with a lot to see and to do.D16、When he w

36、as a little boy, his uncle called him “Sparky” after a comic-strip (連環(huán)畫) horse named Spark Plug. School was all but impossible for Sparky.He failed every subject in the eighth grade. And though he did manage to make the schools golf team, he lost the only important match of the season straight away.

37、Throughout his youth, Sparky was awkward socially. It wasnt that the other students disliked him. It was just that no one really cared all that much. In fact, Sparky was surprised if a classmate ever said hello to him outside of school hours. Sparky was a loser. Him, his classmates everyone knew it.

38、 So he learned to live with it. He made up his mind that if things were meant to work out, they would. One thing was important to Sparky, however-drawing. He was proud of his artwork. No one else enjoyed it. But that didnt seem to matter to him. In his senior year of high school, he sent some cartoo

39、ns to the yearbook. The editors refused to consider his ideas. Despite (即使；盡管) that, Sparky was sure about his ability. He even decided to become an artist.So, after finishing high school, Sparky wrote to Walt Disney Studios. They asked for samples (樣本) of his artwork. Despite careful preparation, i

40、t too was refused. One more confirmation that he was a loser.But Sparky still didnt give up. Instead, he decided to tell his own lifes story in cartoons. The main character would be a little boy who symbolized the boy who always lost. You know him well. Because Sparkys cartoon character went on to b

41、ecome a kind of cultural phenomenon (現象). People readily identified with this “l(fā)ovable loser”. He reminded people of the painful and embarrassing moments from their own past, of their pain and their shared humanity. The character soon became famous worldwide: “Charlie Brown”. And Sparky, the boy who

42、se many failures never kept him from trying, whose work was refused again and again, is the highly successful cartoonist Charles Schultz. His cartoon strip Peanuts continues to inspire books, T-shirts and Christmas specials, reminding us, as someone, that life somehow finds a way for all of us, even

43、 the losers.1The underlined part “he learned to live with it” in Paragraph 3 probably means that Sparky _.Adecided not to make an effort in schoolBlearned to say no to being treated badlyCdidnt care because no one called him a loserDcame to accept not being cared about by other students2Before he st

44、arted the Charlie Brown cartoon, _.ASparky doubted whether being an artist was in his future.Bsome yearbook editors encouraged Sparky to keep on drawingCno one valued Sparkys artwork and it was refused again and againDsamples of Sparkys artwork were accepted by Walt Disney Studios3Why did Sparkys ca

45、rtoon character become so popular?ABecause Sparkys experience was so sad.BBecause people felt they could have to do with it.CBecause it was a kind of cultural phenomenon.DBecause it inspired people to fight for their own lives.4What can we conclude (推斷) from the article?ASparky never lost confidence

46、 in his ability.BArtists often have little chance of becoming successful.CThe writer believes that others opinions dont matter.DThe writer believes that no loser will become successful in the end.E17、Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? Many people will think of Confucius, whose birthday

47、was September 28. Although he lived over 2,000 years ago, people still remember and respect him for his contribution (貢獻) to the education today.Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father di

48、ed when he was only 3. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didnt give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poems and sports.Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history.

49、 At that time only children fromnoblefamilies could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime.Today, people still follow Confucius lessons. He told us that we all have something worthy to be learned. “When I

50、 am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities and follow them.”He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. “All study but no thinking makes people puzzled (困惑的). All thinking but no study makes people lazy.”Confucius is not onl

51、y a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners. “A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others.” he said.1Why do people still remember Confucius?ABecause he lived a poor lif

55、cently touring Britain, cant remember how many times he has sung his standard hit “I Left My Heart in San Francisco”. He sang it again to his audience at the London Palladium last night. “I never get tired of singing it,” he said. “I like it too much. Its a great city and its a good song.” Bennett i
