第二節 完形填空（共20小題，每小題1.5分，滿分30分）
Nowadays lots of
students ask their parents for money to buy things they like. For me, to ask
for money is like entering a(n) 36
. I learned this from 37
.
Last year my mother
told me that the 38
way I would get my
driver’s license before I turned eighteen depended on 39
I paid for the classes
myself. “What ?”I asked in 40
.Judging by the look on
my mother’s face, I knew 41
that my reasoning would have no
42 on the situation.
Three weeks
later, I started working 43
a hostess at a factory,
twice a week. A month later I paid $270 for driving lessons, and then over $20
to 44
my permit test ?all paid
for by 45
other than yours truly.
My pockets were empty 46
as soon as they
were filled.
My mother thought
that I’d be 47
to do things without her
help. The funny thing was that even though I was totally 48
in the beginning. I truly
appreciated it, 49 if I had just been handed bills from her.
When I realized
that my mother wasn’t going to 50
something like a
driver’s license, at first, it seemed as if she had put an immovable 51
before me and I
would never 52
it. But my mother
was 53
. She knew that I wanted
a luxury(奢侈品) but 54
me to get it. That is
as 55
as this―if I really want
it, I’ll find a way to get it myself.

第三部分 閱讀理解(共20小題; 每小題2分,滿分40分)
A
Scientists have discovered 11 new species
of plants and animals in Vietnam, including a snake, two butterflies and five
orchid varieties, the World Wildife Fund said
Wednesday.
The new species were found in a remote
region known as the “Green Corridor” in Thua Thien Hue province in central Vietnam, the international
conservation group said. “You can only discover so many new species in very
special places, and the Green Corridor is one of them,”Chris
Dickinson, the WWF’s chief technical adviser in the
region, said in a statement.
The new snake species, the white-lipped
keel back, generally lives near streams and eats frogs and other small animals,
the WWF said . It has a yellow-white stripe along its head, red dots on its
body and can grow to more than 30 inches long.
The new butterfly species are among
eight discovered in Thua Thien
Hue since 1996. One is a “skipper”, a butterfly that flies in a quick, darting
motion.
Three of the new orchid species are
leafless, which is unusual for orchids, the WWF said. The other new plant
species include one in the aspidistra family, which produces a black flower and
can exist in low light ,and arum(海芋屬植物), which produces
yellow flowers surrounded by funnelshaped leaves.
“It’s great news for Vietnam,” said
Bernard O’Callaghan, Vietnam program coordinator for the World Conservation
Union. “The jungles and mountains of
Vietnam are fascinating places and they continue to surprise
scientists.” The WWF said all the new species are exclusive to tropical forests
in Vietnam’s Annamits mountain range. It said all the
species in the area are under threat from illegal logging, hunting and
development.
56．Which would be the best title for this text?
A、New Plants and Animals in Vietnam
B、Importance of New Species in Vietnam
C、Great News for Vietnam
D、New Plant and Animal Species Found in Vietnam
57．Which of the following is NOT false according to the passage?
A、The new snake species was found in the “Green Corridor” in eastern
Vietnam.
B、Chris Dickinson probably believes that the above mentioned species
exist nowhere else in the world but tropical forests in Vietnam’s Annamits mountain range.
C、The newly-found snake species lives near streams and eats small animals
except frogs.
D、The Green
Corridor is the only special place to discover so many new species.
58．By saying “The jungles and mountains of Vietnam are fascinating places
and they continue to surprise scientists”,the author
intends to .
A、express that scientists often get surprised at such jungles and
mountains
B、warn people against walking in the jungles and mountains
C、say that scientists are eager to make important finds in the jungles
and mountains
D、tell readers that scientists are afraid to go to these fascinating
places
59．All these statements are true EXCEPT .
A、“skipper” is one of the new butterfly species that can fly quickly
B、the new butterfly species was originally discovered in 1996
C、an arum is not a branch of the new orchid species
D、the local government has taken effective measures to protect these rare
species
B
The Australian
continent is a land like no other. Its animals, plants and landscapes have
evolved (演化) over one
thousand years, and there are about a million different natural species （物種）in Australia. More than 80 per cent of the country’s
plants and animals are unique to Australia, along with most of the fish and
almost half the birds.
Australia has
more than 140 species of marsupials (有袋動物)，including koalas, wombats and the Tasmanian devil, now found only in
the Australian wilderness. More than 750 species of birds have been recorded in
Australia, 350 of which are found nowhere else in the world. Among them are the
kookaburra, the rainbow lorikeet and fairy penguins. There are also 55 differernt species of macropods―the
kangaroo family―native to Australia. They vary greatly in size and weight,
ranging from half a kilogram to 90 kilograms.
The country has
been making every effort to protect its natural heritage. Despite the large
size of the continent, the majority of Australians live on the coast and in
major cities―around 75 per cent of Australia’s population lives in city areas.
Australia is the
driest continent on earth. Its center has one of the lowest rainfalls in the
world and about three-quarters of the land is dry. These dry areas extend from
the large central deserts to the western coast. Soils in these areas are very
poor compared to other deserts. This has given Australians a great challenge.They have to make the best use of the variety of
regions to meet the competing demands of agriculture, economy and conservation.
60．What does the
first paragraph mainly tell us?
A、Australia is a very large country.
B、Australia has a very long history.
C、Australia has its unique natural species.
D、Australia has the largest number of plants and animals in the
world.
61．Wombats and the
Tasmanian devil are the names of .
A、plants B、animals C、places D、people
62．About kinds of birds can only be found in Australia.
A、140 B、350 C、400 D、750
63．Most of
Australians live .
A、in the middle of the country B、in the countryside
C、in the west of the country D、in the coastal cities

In a survey of
1,500 European hotel managers, Americans were ranked second, behind the
Japanese, as the world's best tourists. In the survey, conducted in April by
the online travel site Expedia's German branch,
Americans were seen as the most likely to try to speak a foreign language and
the most interested in sampling local food.
Americans came in
third, behind the Japanese and British, as the "most polite"
tourists, and third, behind the Japanese and Germans, as "best
behaved." And - we're sure this has nothing to do with how the hotel
managers view Americans - Americans were ranked far and away as the world's
most generous tippers and biggest spenders.
On the other
hand, Americans were seen as the shabbiest dressers, the most likely to
complain and the second noisiest. Who's louder? Only the Italians.
Some of the other
findings: Russians were seen as the least polite travelers, followed by the
Israelis and French. The stingiest tippers: the Germans, followed by the French
and Israelis.
Italians, by far,
were ranked as the best dressers, followed by the French and Spanish. In terms
of bad dressing, the British were a distant second to Americans, followed by
the Germans.
Who's the most unwilling
to try speaking in a foreign language? The French, the British and the
Italians, in that order.
The Chinese are
the most reluctant to sample foreign food, followed closely by - this is
strange - the British, whose home cuisine
is probably the world's most seriously laughed at (a little unfairly, perhaps.)
And, finally, the
overall award for "worst tourists in the world" goes to the French,
with the Indians and Chinese taking home the silver and bronze, respectively.
64．The writer presents the passage here hoping to ________.
A．praise some travelers
B．criticize some travelers
C．present the result of a survey
D．encourage people to travel
65．Considering the best behaviour, the tourists
ranking second are from _______.
A．Britain B．America
C．Japan D．Germany
66．According to the survey, the worst dressers in tourists are ____.
A．the British B．Americans
C．the Germans
D．the Spanish
67．The underlined word “cuisine” can be replaced by ________.
A．cooking
B．decoration
C．education D．management

Two University of
Oklahoma scientists are starting research that they hope will someday lead to
the development of a vaccine（疫苗） to fight against
the HIV Virus, which causes AIDS.
The research, to be carried out by Mark
Lang, an assistant professor at the OU Health Sciences Center, and
microbiologist John West , will examine the basic aspects of the immune system,
rather than the complex aspects of the virus.
They theorize that if a key function of
the body’s immune system can be found exactly, it could be the first step
toward developing a vaccine.
“To develop a new vaccine, we realzed we first have to study and understand the immune
system,” Lang said.
Lang said their
work will focus on researching the basic antibody responses from Natural
Killer―like T―cells . A potential vaccine would contain NKT cells and would
improve the immune system’s antibodies, which fight outside invaders such as
HIV by preventing them from entering cells or giving the immune system enough
of a boost to kill them.
NKT cells, which
have been a part of research into cancer and other diseases, have not
previously been the focus of HIV research, Lang said.
The research will
last 18 months, with tests being performed on mice. The Oklahoma Center is
giving $300,000 toward the research, and if the research proves promising, Lang
and West will apply to the National Institutes of Health for more funding.
“If we are
successful, we will have made an important contribution to the field, but we will still be several steps away from
an effective vaccine, ” Lang said.
Lang said that in
a best ?case scenario (最好的情況)their research
could lead to a vaccine ready for use in about four years.
68．The research to be carried out will focus on .
A、the immune system B、the test performed on mice
C、NKT cells D、the HIV virus
69．The underlined part“a boost ” in Paragraph 5
is closest in meaning to “ ”.
A、growth in size B、an amount of time
C、a great number D、an increase in power
70．We can infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 8 that .
A、other researchers need to help them
B、the research seems to be a failure
C、further research needs to be done
D、the vaccine can kill all viruses
71．What would be the best title for the passage?
A、Two Researchers Begin To Study the Immune System
B、NKT Cells Have Been a Part of Research into Cancer
C、The Relationship Between the Immune System and HIV
D、Two Scientists Work To Develop Hiv Vaccine

Middle school
teachers in the United States are noticing a new generation of errors coming
into their pupils’essays, Associated Press has reported.
An increasing
number of students hand in classwork containing words
that may confuse adults. For example, they wrote “I WUNT TUBAROXTR” for “I want
to be a rock star” and “DLERES PCNU” for“delicious
pumpkin”. Middle school theachers say they most
frequently encounter “b/c” for “because”, “w/o” for “without” and “4-ever” for
“forever”.
Those simple
abbreviations (縮略詞) and phonetic
spellings are known as “instant messaging-speak” (即時消息式語言) or “IM-speak”. Today these words have become so
common in children’s social lives that they are finding their way into essays
and other writing assignments.
However, the rise
of informal communication through e-mail, Internet blogs
and cell phone text messaging has not stopped school teachers from telling
students the importance of spelling.
“We’ve got a
strict policy so they can be penalized
for that―we don’t allow it. We talk about the four levels of the language:
slang (俚語), colloquial (口語), informal and formal, which apply to both spoken
and written language,” said Beverly Arnold, chairwoman of the English and
language arts depart-ment at Owasso High School, Oklahoma.
“I think it’s
critically important―for both formal and informal communication. We teach kids
that they need to learn to exist in a world outside their social networks, and
that repuires them to use proper grammar and spelling
when they speak and write,” said Marsha Edmonds, director of curriculum in the
Tulsa Public Schools, Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Teachers use
different strategies to teach spelling than they did 20 years ago, Edmonds
explained. Instead of giving students random (隨意的) lists of words
to master, teachers now draw on vocabulary from the literature their classes
are studying or subject matter being covered in science and social studies.
But some
educators, like David Warlick, 54, of Raleigh, North
Carolina, see the growing young band of instant messengers as a phenomenon that
should be celebrated. Teachers should cradit their stuents with inventing a new language ideal for
communicating in a high-tech world, said Warlick, who
has written three books on technology in the classroom.
72．Many adults feel when seeing the “IM-speak” like “b/c”,
“w/o” and “4-ever”.
A、interested B、puzzled C、worried D、disappointed
73．According to
Marsha Edmonds,
.
A、spelling is only important for formal communication
B、students need to learn to live in their social networks
C、we have four levels of the language: slang, colloquial,
informal and
formal
D、students should use proper grammar and spelling when they speak and
write
74．Which of the
following statements is NOT true?
A、“IM-speak” is becoming increasingly popular in teenagers’lives.
B、Students in the past spent less time in memorizing the new words.
C、Beverly Arnold is very strict with her students.
D、Teachers used to give students random lists of words to remember.
75．It can be
inferred from the passage that .
A、all the teachers say “NO”to “IM-speak”
B、school teachers don’t do enough to stop students from using
“IM-speak”
C、teachers still use old-fashioned methods to teach spelling
nowadays
D、David Warlick is a man who enjoys trying new
things
