Question

Some of the greatest problems we face today are the destruction (破壞)  of our environment. Brown clouds, polluted water，endangered wild animals…. these problems seem so huge.
So my family does what we can. We take cloth bags to stores instead of using plastic bags. We walk where we don't have to drive…
But does it do any good? When I am the only one in line at the market with cloth bags, am I doing any good? Does my walking to stores make any real difference to the world?
I recently learned something about flamingos(火烈鳥) which like to get together in groups of a thousand or more. Every year, when the time comes for migration(遷徙)，a few of them first take off from the lake.  But none of the others seem to notice. So the small group returns. However, the next day they try again. This time a few more fly along with them, but most of them still pay no attention, so they return again. They try for several times. Every time a few more birds join in but, since thousands of the others still take no notice, the great migration plan is once more stopped.
Then one day something changes. The same small group of birds once again starts flying and a small number more join in just as before. then more. Finally, they all take flight and the migration really begins.     What a spectacular sight it must be — thousands of flamingos taking off into the sky at once !
A few can make a difference. Even if you're the one to take the first step, and continue trying, others will someday take notice and together we will solve even our greatest problems.

小題1:推理判斷題。文章主要講述我們生活的環境日漸糟糕，作者以火烈鳥為例，鼓勵大家不斷地嘗試、努力就會有所收獲，成就事情。文章主要以作者自身的口吻進行敘述的，因此最可能出現在博客上。故選C。
小題2:詞義猜測題。根據后文thousands of flamingos taking off into the sky at once !“成千上萬只火烈鳥立刻飛上填空！”可知What a spectacular sight it must be譯為“那一定是非常壯觀的景象�！盇. frustrating“令人沮喪的”；B. surprised“感到驚訝的”；C. terrible“糟糕的”；D. fantastic“不可思議的，極好的”。因此可知spectacular的意思是D。
小題3:細節理解題。根據文章第二段最后一行We walk where we don't have to drive…可知A錯誤；根據第四段第一行I recently learned something about flamingos(火烈鳥) which like to get together in groups of a thousand or more.可知正確；根據文章第一段Some of the greatest problems we face today are the destruction (破壞)  of our environment. Brown clouds, polluted water，endangered wild animals these problems seem so huge.可知C錯誤；根據第四段第二行Every year, when the time comes for migration(遷徙)，a few of them first take off from the lake. But none of the others seem to notice.可知D錯誤。故選B。
