第三部分： 閱讀理解（共兩節，滿分40分）
第一節 （共17小題，每小題2分，滿分34分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C、D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
A
D.J.: One year, my school report made my parents angry. On Christmas Eve, all the presents were stolen along with the TV. My parents told me there were no presents because Santa was so angry with my behavior over the past year. The next year I slept downstairs with a plastic sword waiting for Santa to make sure he didn't steal the present. Next morning, when I woke up, I saw Santa standing there. As soon as I saw there were no presents, I grabbed my plastic sword and ran at him in a rage shouting "THIEF! THIEF!"
Lucy K.: When I was younger, we always had one specific room that the Christmas tree was always in. My mom never really liked the location, so one year, she moved the tree into another room. I was convinced that Santa would not know where the tree was and would get lost in our house. I was worried he would be mad and would not give me any gifts because he couldn't find the tree and put me on the "bad" list. I came up with the brilliant idea to make signs leading from the fire place to the tree. They said stuff like "Tree this way" or "Santa, put the gifts over here." When my big brother saw them he started laughing his head off.
Tom: Everyone remembers going
to the mall and sitting on Santa's lap to take a picture at Christmas time?
Well I used to think
that if I did that Santa would get mad because he had to go all around the
world and let every kid around the world have a chance to take a picture and of
course his lap would hurt and he would be so tired. I thought he would keep a
copy of the picture and that's how he decided who would be on his naughty list.
My mom couldn't get me
onto Santa's lap until she made him promise I wouldn't end up on his naughty
list.
56. In fact, who took away D.J.’s TV?
A. Santa. B. A thief. C. His parents. D. His teacher.
57. Why did Lucy K’s brother laugh when he saw the signs?
A. Because he found his sister’s behavior silly.
B. Because he thought the signs were interesting.
C. Because he knew there was no real Santa at all.
D. Because he wanted to make fun of his sister.
58. What conclusion can we draw from the third story?
A. Tom’s mother was strict with him.
B. Tom took a picture with Santa every year.
C. Tom didn’t believe in Santa.
D. Tom was not a good boy.
59. The best title for the three stories is _______.
A. Belief in Santa B. The Excitement on Christmas
C. Gifts for Christmas D. Opinions about Santa

C
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you, Mr. Lin. That was an interesting speech. It is obvious that you are very concerned about the present situation of our environment. As an economist, I’m often seen as being against the environment. When people think of factories, they think of clouds of dirty smoke or a pipe pouring chemical waste into a river. They think of greedy businessmen hiding from their responsibilities to the environment and only thinking about money. People often think that economic development is bad for the environment, but this does not have to be true.
What I’m here to say is that having worked side by side with many environmentalists, I know that a healthy environment and a stable economy should be possible at the same time. There are many factories and industries which control the amount of pollution they produce, and are very careful to spend money repairing any damage they cause. The people running these factories are very concerned about the environment. We need to stop thinking of companies and money as the enemy!
Mr. Lin suggested we should cut back on the amount of things we produce in order to save the environment. I don’t agree with him because then jobs will be lost. I believe that people are more important than fish and trees.
But I do agree that recycling may be the key to helping both sides. We should produce more things from recycled materials, and less from materials taken directly from the environment. What we need is more effective laws to preserve the environment, which still allow the economy to grow. This includes more inspections to control how many trees are cut down and how many fish boats can catch. This might make wood and seafood more expensive, but paying a higher price for some things is not always bad for the economy. Asking around, I find many people willing to pay slightly higher prices for things that are environmentally friendly.
Finally, those factories which pollute the environment should have to pay higher taxes. So, if you want to harm the environment, you have to pay to do it, and I agree with that. Thank you for listening.
64. According to the passage, Mr. Lin may be ______.
A. an environmentalist B. a TV presenter
C. an economist D. a businessman
65. According to the passage, the speaker argues that ______.
A. economic development has badly damaged the environment
B. it is possible to achieve a balance between the economy and the environment
C. factories should pay much more attention to the economy than the environment
D. companies and money are the enemy of the environment
66. The speaker thinks production should not be cut back because ______.
A. products can’t meet people’s demand
B. people are as important as fish and trees
C. it will endanger animals and plants
D. many people will be out of work
67. According to the passage, Mr. Lin and the speaker both agree that ______.
A. factories should pay higher taxes
B. the growth of the population should be controlled
C. we should expand the recycling industry
D. factories polluting the environment will be punished.
68. The underlined word “which” in paragraph 4 refers to ______.
A. effective laws B. recycled materials C. the environment D. inspections

第二節 簡答題（共3小題，每小題2分，滿分6分）
根據各小題的具體要求，簡要回答問題。
Children who forget easily and never seem to finish tasks or pay attention might be found to have A.D.D. If, in addition, they seem overly active and unable to behavior themselves because of lack of self-control, it might be A.D.H.D.
Experts say the cause involves a chemical imbalance in the brain. It can affect not only school, but also personal relationships and the ability to keep a job later in life. Many of those affected also have learning disabilities or suffer from depression (抑郁).
Medicines can produce calmer, clearer thinking for periods of time. But the drugs can also have side effects like weight loss and sleep problems.
Susan Smalley, a psychiatry（精神病學）professor at the University of California, just led a study of A.D.H.D. in northern Finland（芬蘭）.
The study
found that rates and signs of A.D.H.D. are about the same in children there as
in the
Professor Smalley says medication is very effective in the short term. But she says the study raises important questions about the long-term effectiveness of current treatments.
The study also found that only about half the Finnish children diagnosed with A.D.H.D. had deficits in short-term memory and self-control. These cognitive (認知的) deficits are generally considered part of the definition of A.D.H.D.
The study also found more evidence that A.D.H.D. symptoms―hyperactivity (活躍過度) and lack of self-control decrease―change with age. But about two-thirds of children continue to show high levels of inattention as teenagers.
73. Find in the passage a word closest in meaning to the underlined word “deficit”.

Clean energies are forms of energy which do not pollute the air, the ground, or the sea. Clean energies include the following forms.
Solar power describes a number of methods of using energy from the light of the Sun. It has been present in many traditional building methods for centuries, but has become of increasing interest in developed countries as the environmental costs and limited supply of other power sources such as fossil fuels are realized. After passing through the Earth's atmosphere, most of the sun's energy is in the form of visible and ultraviolet light. Plants use solar energy to create chemical energy through photosynthesis (光合作用). We use this energy when we burn wood or fossil fuels or when we consume the plants as a source of food.
Tidal power is a means of electricity generation achieved by capturing the energy contained in moving water mass due to tides. Two types of tidal energy can be extracted: kinetic（運動的）energy of currents due to the tides and potential energy from the difference in height (or head) between high and low tides.
Wind power is the kinetic energy of wind, or the extraction of this energy by wind turbines (渦輪). This article deals mainly with the large-scale deployment of wind turbines to produce electricity.
Wave power refers to the capture of ocean surface wave energy to do useful work including electricity generation, and filling a reservoir with water. Wave power is a form of renewable energy. Wave power generation is not a widely employed technology with only a few experimental sites in existence.
Geothermal power is electricity generated by utilizing naturally occurring geological heat sources. It is also a form of renewable energy.
