第二節：完形填空 （共20小題，每小題 2分，滿分40分）
閱讀下列短文，從短文后所給各題的四個選項 （A、B、C和D）中，選出可以添入空白處的最佳選項。
Have you ever been in a meeting while someone was making a speech and realized suddenly that your 36 was a million miles away? You probably felt 37 and made up your mind to pay attention and never daydream again. Most of us, from the earliest school 38 , have been told that daydreaming is a waste of time.
“On
the contrary,” says L.Giambra, an expert in psychology, “daydreaming is
quite 39 . Without it, the mind couldn’t get done
all the 40 it has to do during a normal day. You
can’t possibly do all your thinking with a conscious mind. 41 , your unconscious mind is working out
problems all the time. Daydreaming then may be one
Early experts in psychology paid no attention to the importance of 44 , or even considered them harmful. At one time daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental 45 . They did not have a better understanding of daydreams 46 the late 1980s. Eric Klinger, a professor of psychology, is the writer of the book Daydreaming. Klinger says, “We 47 now that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we 48 our lives, learn from our experiences, and plan for our future.” Daydreams are really a 49 on the things we fear and the things we long for in life.
Daydreams are usually very simple and 50 , quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be 51 to understand. It’s easier to gain a 52 understanding of your life by paying close attention to your daydreams than by trying to examine your sleep dreams carefully. Daydreams help one 53 the difficult situations in life and find out a possible way for handling them.
Daydreams cannot be predicted. They move off in 54 directions, which may be creative and full of useful ideas. For many famous artists and scientists, daydreams were, and are, a main source of creative energy.
So next time you catch 55 daydreaming, don’t stop. Just pay attention to your dreams. They may be more important than you think.
36. A. family B. business C. feeling D. mind
37. A. sorry B. hurried C. shamed D. lonely

第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題3分，滿分60分）
A
A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sport to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality, its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it also mean that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together out of the pages of that day’s paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.
56. A modern newspaper is remarkable for all the following Except its ________.
A. wide coverage B. uniform style
C. speed in reporting news D. popularity

C. people are rarely interested in the same kind of news
D. people have different views about what a good newspaper is
58. It can be concluded from the passage that newspaper readers _______.
A. apply reading techniques skillfully
B. jump from one newspaper to another
C. appreciate the variety of a newspaper
D. usually read a newspaper selectively
59. The best title for this passage would be _________.
A. The Importance of Newspaper Topicality
B. The Characteristics of a Good Newspaper
C. The Variety of a Good Newspaper
D. Some suggestions on How to Read a Newspaper
B
Who

made in
Otzi
is the nickname of a well-preserved mummy from about 3300 BC. He was found in
Oztis was thought to be the body of a soldier who fought during World War I but was found to be thousands of years older. Analyzing Otzi showed that the items with him were all of different ages.
His
arrows are 7000 years old, the axe belonged to a time hundreds of years later
and the skin in which the man was dressed originally belonged to a goat that
lived in
There are still many mysteries surrounding Otzi, yet the most famous and frightening one is his curse. It is said that Otzi had mystic powers and those who trouble his dead body will be doomed to die. Otzi has claimed seven people so far.

hill

People who are taking aspirin regularly to thin their blood and are about to undergo coronary artery bypass surgery (冠狀動脈旁路搭橋術) are usually told to stop the aspirin a week before the operation ---- but they could be better off if they keep taking it.
Taking aspirin up to the day coronary artery bypass grafting （移植） is performed seems to speed lung function recovery afterwards, without increasing the risk of bleeding significantly, according to a report from Israel.
Release of a substance called thromboxane （血栓素）is associated with lung injury after heart bypass grafting, Dr Rabin Gerrah at Assuta Medical Center in Tel Aviv and his colleagues explained in the medical journal Chest. Aspirin is believed to inhibit release of thromboxane, so Gerrah’s group theorized that the administration of aspirin until the day of the surgery could improve outcomes.
They therefore followed 14 patients who took 100 milligrams of aspirin daily until the day of the surgery and 18 who stopped taking aspirin at least 7 days before the surgery.
Those who continued with their aspirin had significantly lower thromboxane in fluid around the heart, better oxygen levels in their blood and spent less time on a ventilator than the group who discontinued taking aspirin.
On the other hand, the need for blood transfusions was no different between the groups, indicating that bleeding complications were no worse with aspirin.
The researchers had excluded patients who had suffered a heart attack and those with heart failure because patients like these have a higher level of thrombaxane. “They will probably benefit even more than its inhibition.”
Based on their findings, Gerrah’s team recommends that aspirin therapy not be discontinued before coronary artery bypass surgery.
64. From the passage we know that _______.
A. doctors usually get people who will have coronary artery bypass surgery to stop taking aspirin 7 days before the operation
B. Aspirin is believed to increase release of thromboxane
C. Taking aspirin up to the day coronary artery bypass grafting is performed seems to slow lung function recovery afterwards
D. Patients suffering a heart attack have a lower level of thromboxane
65. The purpose of the passage is to introduce to us that _______.
A. aspirin can make for release of thromboxane
B. aspirin is useful for patients suffering a heart attack
C. different ways turn out to be the same result
D. aspirin may improve recovery after heart bypass
66. According to Dr Rabin Gerrah, patients who will have heart bypass surgery should
_______.
A. stop taking aspirin before the surgery
B. take aspirin as much as they like until the day of the surgery
C. be allowed to take 100 milligrams of aspirin daily until the day of the surgery
D. take aspirin after the heart bypass operation
67. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. People who continued with aspirin had significantly higher thromboxane in fluid around the heart.
B. Thromboxane is a substance related to lung injury after heart bypass grafting.
C. It usually takes one week to undergo coronary artery bypass surgery.
D. Stopping aspirin a week before heart bypass operation could be better off to people who will undergo the operation.

“We’re going,” Mimi called out to her mother in the family’s grocery store next to her house. This was her first date, and Robert Rovere had just arrived to take her to a dance. She could hardly believe it was happening. During the long wait she had wondered again and again what to wear, finally putting on her favorite blouse. Now at last Robert was here. He looked beautiful to her. His hair was neatly combed and he wore a yellow sweater she hadn’t seen before. Mimi felt wonderful.
As they stepped out of the door, Mimi’s mother popped out of the store and said hello to Robert. Then she put a package wrapped in white paper into Mimi’s hand.
“Limburger cheese for Sally Thompson, Mimi. We got a case of imported Limburger in today. I promised Sally you’d deliver it tonight.”
“Tonight!” Mimi echoed, staring down at the cheese. “Why not tomorrow?”
“Sorry, but I promised Sally,” her mother said. “Well, have fun, you two.”
“Oh well, Robert, let’s go,” she said.
Her first date ever, her first date with Robert Rovere, and she was stuck with a large, smelly, messy package of cheese! She tried to forget it. “Here I am,” she said to herself, “going to a dance with Robert Rovere.” She glanced up at him.
“That cheese smells,” he said.
She held the cheese in the hand farthest from him, but the smell seemed to be crawling up her arm.
They
turned onto
“Wrong house,” she said. “I was sure she lived there.”
“What do we do now?” Robert asked.
Mimi bit her lip. She couldn’t bring the cheese home again now. It would just have to go to the dance with her. “Let’s go,” she said. She was so miserable she couldn’t think of anything else to say, and she and Robert walked the rest of the way in a silence as thick as the bad smell of the cheese.
When they arrived at the dance, the place was full of people and there was no room to hang their coats. Mimi wanted to wash her hands, but Robert led her straight onto the dance floor. Mimi noticed that Robert smelled sweet, like lily of the valley. She smelled of Limburger cheese.
Mimi danced with all her heart. Robert’s eyes were closed, probably trying to forget her and her smell, she thought.
…
68. What particular point suggests that Mimi was nervous about her date?
A. She could hardly believe she had taken such a long time to get ready.
B. She kept Robert waiting for a long time until she was ready.
C. She spent a long time making herself look nicer.
D. She wondered many times whether Robert would like the yellow sweater.
69. Why did Mimi bring the cheese with her into the dance hall?
A. Robert said nothing about the cheese on the way to the dance.
B. She couldn’t find any place to leave it.
C. She thought the cheese was not as smelly as the lily of the valley.
D. The room for hanging coats was full of people.
70. Which of the following was most likely to happen in the end?
A. Their first date was a success.
B. The smell ruined the date.
C. Robert took all the cheese after the dance.
D. They quarreled over the smelly cheese.
E
Ideas
about polite behavior are different from one culture to another. Some
societies, such as
On the other hand there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long-term relationships are more important. A Malaysian or Mexican business person, for example, will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business. But when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society.
To Americans, both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first. On the other hand, as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it, it’s no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you don’t want to answer.
Cross-cultural differences aren’t just a problem for travelers, but also for the flights that carry them. All flights want to provide the best service, but ideas about good service are different from place to place. This can be seen most clearly in the way that problems are dealt with.
Some societies have ‘universalist’ cultures. These societies strongly respect rules, and they treat every person and situation in basically the same way.
‘Particularist’ societies, on the other hand, also have rules, but they are less important than the society’s unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular person. So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situation or the importance of the person.
This
difference can cause problems. A traveler from a particularist society,
71. Often moving from one place to another makes people like Americans and Australians
______.
A. like traveling better
B. easy to communicate with
C. difficult to make real friends
D. have a long-term relationship with their neighbors
72. People like Malaysians prefer to associate with those ______.
A. who will tell them everything of their own
B. who want to do business with them
C. they know quite well
D. who are good at talking
73. A person from a less mobile society will feel it ______ when a stranger keeps talking to
him or her, and asking him or her questions.
A. boring B. friendly C. normal D. rough
74. Which of the following is true about “particularist societies”?
A. There is no rule for people to obey.
B. People obey the society’s rules completely.
C. No one obeys the society’s rules though they have.
D. The society’s rules can be changed with different persons or situations.
75. The writer of the passage thinks that the Indian and the German have different ideas
about rules because of different _______.
A. interests B. habits and customs C. cultures D. ways of life

There’s much debate online about whether it’s a wise decision to ban the use of web slang.
As the saying goes, different men usually see the same subject in different lights. Those who are for the ban on web slang feel that it’s right to do so. For one thing, it will help keep the Chinese language in good use. What’s more, too much such slang would make it more difficult for people of different ages to communicate and understand each other. In the long run, youth of today would fail to use good and correct Chinese.
The other people who are against the ban argue that more new words should be added to our language with the development of our society. What’s more, web slang is a good reflection of people’s life and can help us keep up with the times. In addition, it’s more convenient for people to communicate using web slang. It simply makes no sense to put an end to the use of it.
