“We expected our first child to be perfect．”How many parents have said，or at least thought，those words? Most likely every single one．
1 know that's what I 31 with our oldest son, Joe．He was always a 32 kid．He wasn't the kind of boy who 33 snowballs at passing cars on a cold winter day or who 34 water balloons on the mail carrier from an upstairs window during hot August． 35 he wasn't perfect．From the day Joe stated kindergarten，he 36 一with maths．Always maths．While he passed each grade，it was never with flying colors，and he was 37 at the top of his class．How I 38 friends who had children with the “maths gene"．1 don't know how many times I 39 while listening to another mom telling me that her daughter was doing high school algebra while in sixth grade．
After hearing one of these
stories―and there were so 40 of them over the years―I 41 hang up the telephone and look over
at Joe―who would be happily playing a video game，drawing a
picture，or simply
Needless to say,my worries never really amounted to much．Moms 45 to worry and worry ,while whatever they are worrying about usually disappears on its own or is quickly replaced by another 46 ．
During high school，Joe slowly improved at maths．He 47 algebra I，geometry and algebra II，our state requirements for maths．One day he said to me：“I would be taking pre-calculus(學習微積分前必修課程)in my last year of high school. I want to do really well in college．Mom，I know it will be hard but I think it’s 48 that I try to do my best．”
No，my oldest son wasn't perfect．He wasn't a maths genius，either．But he knew what was important：he was focusing oil his future while 1 was worrying over his 49 Joe was trying to do his best even when he knew how hard that was going to be．And that, to me, is even better than being 50 ．

第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
A
Advertising actually has a dual（雙重的）function：to sell，as well as to inform．If you stop to think of it，advertisements（ads）provide information of almost everything in our household and immediate environment，from shampoo to fuel for ears．An obvious purpose is to inform consumers of new products and services as well as to remind them of established ones．Performance，price，value for money，quality and reliability are some of the main features mentioned in ads．
Yet there is another important side of advertising that should not be forgotten：choice．A number of ads for different brands of the same product，e．g．toothpaste，shampoo or washing powder allow the consumer to choose．Choice is an important part of buying．
In this busy day and age，there is little time for comparison shopping．To determine which product is the best to buy，arid at the most competitive price，consumers these days rely on advertising in its various forms．This saves time arid energy and makes shopping easier．
Few can deny that ads benefit the consumer since they encourage healthy competition．When companies compete for the consumer’s dollar, this is good for the purchaser of the product or service．Advertising tends to increase competition since it informs consumers of what is available．One company’s offer will be either matched or bettered by another company in its advertising．
It was unheard of ten years ago to buy products directly using a personal computer，but it has become a matter of course for some people to browse（瀏覽）the Internet，surf until they find an e-commerce site and then select the product. Marketing products has been almost turned upside down by new ways of selling and buying. More than at any time in history, the choice of goods is unlimited. The whole world is a customer’s markerplace. For busy people like you and me, advertisements actually do us a favor.
51．What the writer of this passage wants to tell US most is that .
A．advertisements benefit busy people in many ways
B．advertisements encourage more business competitions
C．advertisements provide main features of new products
D．selling and informing are two functions of advertising
52．Which is least discussed in the passage as one of the important sides of advertising?
A．To inform consumers of new products and services．
B．To provide consumers with chances to choose．
C．To increase healthy competition of companies．
D．To change the way of selling and buying．
53．The “comparison shopping” refers to the behavior of ．
A．comparing and buying a product at the lowest price
B．comparing and deciding which is the best to buy
C．relying on advertising and simplifying shopping
D．buying a product at least competitive price
54．Healthy competition benefits consumers because ．
A．it helps companies to compete for the market
B．it gets companies to improve their services
C．it provides them with the best products and services
D．it gives them many chances to choose their products

Dinner was almost ready when the killing occurred．When Don Wise wandered into the living room of his home，his ten-year-old son，Mike，and a 12-year-old friend were sitting in front of a large-screen television set．They were playing a video game they had rented called Goldeneye 007，one of the top-selling titles of 2007．
Standing behind the boys，Wise saw that one boy pushed the button and shot the character in the face．Blood splattered（噴濺）the lab coat of the character as he circled and fell．“You’re down!” the boy said，laughing．
Frightened by the child’s obvious fun．Wise ordered the boys to turn the game off．“This game is terrible，”he said seriously．“I don’t want you to play with this any more．”
Video games have become a pervasive form of entertainment since the 1990s．Today an estimated 69 percent of American families own or rent video and computer games．Most are harmless entertainment，but in far too many of the most popular ones，kids are acting out realistic violent experiences on their TV and computer screens．“These are not just games any more，”says Rick Dyer，president of the San Diego-based Virtual Image Productions and an outspoken critic of titles with violent and sexual content．“These are learning machines．We’re teaching kids in the most incredible manner what it’s like to pull the trigger（扳機）．The focus is on the thrill，enjoyment and reward．What they’re not realizing are the real life consequences．”
Such video games introduce kids to a fantasy world that features amazingly lifelike characters，detailed images of brutality（野蠻），and an audio mix of heart-pounding music，stereo sound effects and realistic voices．Unlike movies and television，where you watch the violence，the vedio game lets you feel the sensation of taking violent actions．When you’re into the game，you’re in the game．
“The technology is becoming more engaging for kids，”says David Walsh，president of the National Institute on Media and the Family（NIMF），a watchdog group in Minneapolis，“and a part of the games features anti-social themes of violence，sex and rude language．Unfortunately，it’s a part that seems particularly popular with kids between ages 8 to 15．”
55．Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of this passage?
A．Video game Violence is very harmful to kids．
B．Video game is a common form of entertainment．
C．Video game violence is popular with children．
D．Video game is the reflection of the real life violence．
56．We can infer from the passage that the ．
A．NIMF is characteristic for its social justice
B．NIMF is a
political organization in
C．NIMF promotes video games and other media products
D．NIMF detects the media industry’s illegal actions
57．The underlined word “pervasive” in Paragraph 4 most probably means ．
A．worldwide B．instructive C．widespread D．harmful
58．Which of the following statements would Rick Dyer agree with?
A．Video games with some violence teach kids to experience real life．
B．Video games are realistic ways to learn more about the real-life world．
C．Video games with fantastic features are loved by most kids in the US．
D．Violence and sex content video games have a negative influence on children．

What will we be eating in the future? Here are the top factors that will be affecting the food that ends up on our tables in the new century．
Genetically engineered food Many crops are already genetically engineered，often to produce more food，fight against pests or improve nutrition．But concern is growing over the lasting effects of changing nature．While existing research has found little harm in genetic engineering，a recent study found the flower powder of a genetically engineered corn can kill the normal butterfly．This finding made many people nervous and brought attention to the topic．
Dining out Americans are increasingly eating meals away from home，both in sit-down restaurants and in fast food outlets．In the last decade alone there was a 14 percent decrease in the number of meals eaten at home．At the same time，restaurants are just beginning to really open their doors on the Internet．Websites exist to make restaurant reservations（預約），view menus，and get tips from your favorite chefs．The dining out trend and the demand for high-quality，chef-prepared food have encouraged chefs to spend time out of the kitchen――teaching classes，appearing on TV，and writing cookbooks．
Eating in Eating in doesn’t always mean cooking．Ready-made meals and frozen food sold in supermarkets taste better all the time．Restaurants are offering neatly packaged “food to go”，and meals can be ordered over the Internet．Cooking is not as much as a necessity，as it is a hobby，a special treat．Home cooks are looking to more than just mom’s food，and want to make food they try in restaurants．
Agriculture Although American farmers have been hit hard recently by bad weather, low prices and decreasing government help，they can increase grain production not using old farm methods．
59．Which of the following is the main reason for genetically engineered crops?
A．To lead to more food and better nutrition．
B．To kill the normal butterfly．
C．To reduce the harm done by insects．
D．To change the nature of the crops．
60．From the passage，we learn that ．
A．eating out is
not popular among the old people in
B．it is now easier for people to get information about eating out
C．it is popular for restaurants to send out information on the Internet
D．the trend of eating out is causing many chefs to give up their jobs
61．In the future，cooking at home will probably ．
A．still be the job of most housewives
B．take up most of people’s free time
C．bring much joy to more people
D．Lead to many restaurants closing down
62．According to the passage，farmers should to get a higher grain production．
A．turn to better farming methods
B．ask for the support of the government
C．raise the prices of crops
D．not care about the effects of bad weather

A train sped up through the countryside at
A Sunday Express reader caught this Virgin employee on film as the train sped through Derbyshire on its way to Plymouth from Newcastle．
Virgin，which has come under repeated criticism over their rail service，yesterday fired the driver after being shown the photograph．A spokesman said an inquiry（調查）was under way to make sure exactly what he was doing and why he appeared to have taken his eyes off the track ahead.
The picture comes in the week that the public inquiry into the Southall rail disaster, which claimed seven lives, heard that the driver at the centre of that case had earlier been spotted with his feet on the control button of his cab.
Larry Harrison, who worked for Great Western Trains, drove through two
warning signals before crashing at
The reader who took this picture was standing on a bridge outside
"As far as I could see, there was no one else in the cab with the driver, unless they were hiding. The person with the paper open was certainly sitting in the driver's normal seat."
The photographer works on the railways and does not want to be named, but he added: "I've seen many drivers with their feet on the control panel but I've never seen them reading papers like this. There is an automatic warning system and driver's safety device which reminds him when he passes yellow and red signals. But you should never take your eyes off the track and rely only on sounds because you could have unexpected objects on the line or suddenly have speed limits given."
63. Who is the "traveller" mentioned in the first paragraph?
A．A train driver. B．A businessman.
C．A passenger. D．A newspaper reader.
64. The train when the picture was taken.
A．was driving
to
C．had seven people on it D．crashed into another train
65. Who took the picture of the driver of the passenger express?
A．A professional photographer. B．A newspaper reporter.
C．Another train driver. D．A member of the railway staff.
66. According to what we have read, we may find this passage most probably
A．at a train station B．from a news report
C．from a driver's safety guide D．from the police inquiry

Managers of most businesses want high profits in order to pay high dividends（紅利）to their investors. For this reason, they aim to keep costs as low as possible. They also want to set high prices to gain high returns. But competition within the industry often prevents them from doing so. Generally, a business will not increase the price of its output if its competitors will not increase their prices. If a business sets its prices higher than those of its competitors, many of its customers will buy the output of its competitors.
An important decision managers make is their choice of the input-mix in what combination of capital（資本）, labor, and raw materials to use in production. The goal is to keep production costs as low as possible. If labor costs are high, for example, a firm may spend money in automatic machinery so that fewer workers are needed to complete the same task. If labor is cheap, the company may decide to employ extra workers instead of buying a machine ~to do the job. The combination of inputs that permits a firm to produce its goods or services at the lowest possible cost without reducing quality is called the most productive input-mix.
The goal of keeping production costs low also affects a company's choice of location. The resources an industry needs and the customers it serves are rarely close to each other. As a result, a business must transport inputs, outputs, or both. A business also tries to keep transportation costs as low as possible.
Transportation costs are based on weight as well as on distance. The location a company selects may thus depend on whether the company's product is heavier or lighter than the materials used to make it. The soft drink industry, which adds water to other ingredients to make its products, is an example of an industry that produces weight-gaining products. Soft drink companies choose locations near their customers. The paper industry is an example of industries that produce weight-losing products. Many such industries are near sources of raw materials.
67. What do businesses choose to do about the prices of their products in competition?
A．To set higher prices. B．To leave the prices unchanged.
C．To offer lower prices. D．To keep the prices adjustable.
68. The underlined phrase "the most productive input-mix" means mixing inputs
A．with goods or services sold at the lowest possible prices
B．by selling goods or services at the lowest possible prices
C．to produce goods or services at the lowest possible cost
D．to produce quality goods or services at the lowest possible cost
69. Why is a company usually very careful about choosing its location?
A．Because the materials it needs are rather far away.
B．Because the customers it serves are not so close.
C．Because transportation costs and the distance are closely related.
D．Because both production and transportation costs are very high.
70. The soft drink industry and the paper making industry are used as examples because
A．they share a lot of things in common
B．they are both only making lower profits
C．the transportion costs of their products are the same
D．they are quite different when considering the locations

One possible version：
Every year after the college entrance exam,the top-rated exam takers will attract wide attention from all over the country．They accept various interviews．take part in different social activities and receive quite a lot of prize money as well．
Some people say"yes"to this phenomenon． They think,for one thing,it can make more people care about education;for another,those top studends can and do set good examples to the rest of the students．
However,others hold opposite opinions about this,they believe that giving too
much attention to those top winners can do more harm than good to them． Meanwhile,high marks don’t necessarily mean strong ability．
In my opinion，it’s all right to give proper attention to those top winners,but weshouldn't pay too much attention to them．After all,exams and marks aren't everything．
