Then one day I learnt that he had another car in his garage. In the afternoon he would come home 24 work, leave his taxi and go out for his 25 affairs in his other car, not in his taxi. I felt it was 26 .

第一節 閱讀下列短文， 從每題所給的四個選項(A,B,C,D)中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該選項涂黑。(共20小題，每小題2分，滿分40分)
A
How would you describe Quincy Jones? Is he an instrumentalist, a composer, an arranger, or a
producer? None of these labels can sum up this remarkable man. He has been known for years to
people who follow popular music. But his part in the We Are the World VCD and the Hands Across
America project made him a national figure.
In addition to these successful efforts, Jones has written the music for many cartoon movies,
including The Color Purple, which won 11 Oscar nominations(提名). He also wrote the music for
Alex Haley’s Roots, a greatly successful television mini―series. These achievements show his
many-sided genius.
Quincy Jones was born on March 14, 1973, in Chicago’s South Side. Ten years later, his family
moved to the Seattle area. It was there that he met Ray Charles, who was three years older than
Jones and who in time would be a world-famous singer. The young musicians performed at small
clubs and weddings. Through Charles’s influence, Jones began composing.
When Jones was only 15, his musical talent impressed Lionel Hampton, who invited him to join
the Hampton band. Jones was ready to quit school to join, but Hampton’s wife, Gladys, stated her
disagreement. Believing that he needed an education, she removed him from the band’s bas. “Get that child out of here,” she yelled, “Let him finish school.”
These experiences made Quincy Jones more determined than ever to success. He finished high school, attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston on a scholarship, and finally did Lionel Hampton’s band. Soon, however, he struck off on his own. The future beckoned(召喚) brightly.
41. Which of the following can best express the main idea of the passage?
A. Ray Charles, Lionel Hampton and Quincy Jones became very close friends.
B. Lionel Hampton played an important rule in the success of Quincy Jones.
C. A college education is very important and necessary in modern music.
D. Quincy Jones had a very lucky, fruitful and successful musical career.
42. Which of the following made Quincy Jones become famous all over the country?
A. His role in the We Are the World VCD and the Hands Across America program.
B. His music for the cartoon film The Color Purple which won 11 Oscar nominations.
C. His meeting with Ray Charles and their performances at small clubs and weddings.
D. His education in the Berklee College of Music in Boston, which is world-class.
43. Whose opinion played an important role in Jones’s school education and college education?
A. Alex Haley’s B. Lionel Hampton’s
C. Ray Charles’s D. Hampton’s wife’s
44. Insisting that Quincy Jones get off the bus, Gladys Hampton was actually very _____.
A. professional B. cruel C. kind D. selfish
B
Friendship can deeply affect the physical and mental health of both men and women. Studies
show that people who have no friends or who are lonely, are more likely to die earlier, get sick
more often and suffer greater physical wear and tear(折磨) than those who have a support system
of friends.
Sometimes, family members may be more likely to give you advice or tell you what you don’t
want to hear. It may not be as good as a friend who will listen to you and guide you, but support
your decisions anyway. The most important elements about friendship are those who suffer
support and do not judge your decisions based on society.
One reason for the link between social support and good health practice seems to be that people
who feel cared for by others are less stress-out and are protected against the symptoms(癥狀) of
depression and loneliness.
Generally, women benefit most because of how they deal with stress. Women are more social in
how they deal with stress than men, while men are more likely to have a “fight or flight” reaction.
Women also tend to have larger, denser social network, in which more people know each other
and help each other, while men typically have smaller groups of friends and will rely on their
wives or other important people for more support. While all these affect people psychologically
(心理上), friendship brings comfort that reduces the ill effects of stress, and the sex difference
also contributes to the difference in the length of one’s life time.
45. In the author’s opinion, a real friend should _________.
A. tell you what to do even if you refuse to hear it.
B. try to persuade you to change your mind quickly.
C. judge your decision according to his/her experience.
D. give you advice but respect your own decision.
46. Women benefit more from friendship than men because _________.
A. women are always cared for by more people than men.
B. women are usually less stress-out when staying with others.
C. women are more likely to solve problems with friends’ help
D. women can always keep more long-life friendship than men
47. According to the passage we can infer that _______.
A. it’s good for women to tell men what they should do or not
B. friends are always more important than family members
C. men don’t want to share their problems with many people
D. the trend that women can live longer makes them more relaxed
48. This passage mainly talks about _________.
A. why people should develop friendship
B. when friendship affects people’s health
C. people’s different attitudes towards friendship
D. the friendship which can make people live longer

D
Someday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the websites you’ve
visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.
In fact, it’s likely that some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a husband or wife, a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a police or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you’ve never intended to be seen.
Some experts tell us boundaries are healthy, and it’s important to reveal (暴露) yourself to your friends, family and lovers in stages, at proper times. But few boundaries could remain. The digital equipment makes it easy for strangers to know who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can even reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.
The key question is: Does that matter?
When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey shows that 60 percent of them feel their privacy is “slipping away, and that bothers me.”
But people often say one thing and do another. Only a tiny number of Americans change the behaviors in an effort to protect their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths
(收費站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track your automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquits has run a series of tests, and these tests show that the majority of Americans will not keep personal secret just in order to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon(優惠券)
But privacy does matter―at least sometimes. It’s like health: when you have it, you don’t notice it. Only when it’s gone, do you wish you’d done more to protect it. So, when it comes to privacy, why do so many people say one thing and do another? And what can be done about it?
53. What would be the experts advise on the relationships between friends?
A. Friends should open their hearts to each other.
B. Friends should always be faithful to each other.
C. There should be a distance even between friends.
D. There should be fewer secrets between friends.
54. The author says “we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret” because ______.
A. modern society has finally entered a much opened society
B. people leave privacy around when using modern technology
C. there are always people who are curious about others’ affairs
D. many search engines profit by selling people’s privacy
55. According to Alessandro Acquits, most Americans _________.
A. like to exchange their personal secret for the commercial benefit
B. aren’t interested in the pitiful commercial benefit to keep their personal secret
C. pay no attention to their personal secret for the commercial benefit
D. can’t keep the balance between their personal secret and the commercial benefit
56.The best title for the passage could be _________?
A. Is Privacy As Important As Health
B. What Can Be Done to Protect the Privacy
C. Does Privacy Matter
D. Does Modern Technology Reveal Privacy
E
I’ve been writing for most of my life. The book Writing Without Teachers introduced me to one difference and one practice that have greatly helped my writing processes. The difference is between the creative mind and the critical mind. While you need to use both of the creative mind and the critical mind to reach a finished result, they cannot work in parallel no matter how much we might like to think so.
Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possible the single greatest trouble with writing that most of us meet. If you are listening to a 5th grade English teacher correcting your grammar while you are trying to capture a fleeting(稍縱即逝的) thought, the thought will die. If you catch the fleeting thought and simply share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand. You must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking as it is.
The practice that can help you overcome your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls “free writing”. In free writing, the goal is to get words down on paper non-stop, usually for 15-20 minutes. No stopping, no going back, no criticizing. The aim is to get t5he words flowing. As the words begin to flow, the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be captured on your notepad or your screen.
Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that you’ve persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly. Most likely, you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pages as the deadlines draws near.
Instead of staring at a blank start and filling it with words no matter how bad they could be, stop halfway through your available time and rework your raw writing into something closer to the finished product. Move back and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current practices.
57. When the author says the creative mind and the critical mind “cannot work in parallel” in the writing process, he means __________.
A. no one can be both creative and critical
B. they can’t be regarded as equally important
C. they are in constant conflict with each other
D. one cannot use them at the same time
58. What usually prevents people from writing on is ________.
A. putting their ideas in raw form
B. attempting to edit as they’re writing
C. ignoring grammatical problems
D. trying to capture their fleeting thoughts
59. What is the chief purpose of the first stage of writing?
A. To organize one’s thoughts logically.
B. To choose an appropriate topic.
C. To get one’s ideas down quickly.
D. To collect many more raw materials.
60. In what way does the critical mind help the writer in the writing process?
A. It refines his writing into a better shape.
B. It helps him to come up with new ideas.
C. It saves the writing time available to him.
D. It allows him to sit on the side and observe.

The Most Important Room in the House
Every room in the house is important for its specific function. However, there is one room that
we can’t go without―kitchen, because the kitchen is the most important center of the life of the
household. First, different kinds of food can be prepared in the kitchen and the kitchen is a warm
and pleasant place, where the family get together to enjoy the meals happily at the kitchen table.
Second, most of the family conversations can also take place in the kitchen, where the family
members chat and /or exchange various kinds of information. Besides, whenever one feels hungry,
he or she can find something to eat in the kitchen, where the food is always in full store.
All in all, the most important room in the house, and my personal favorite, is the kitchen, for
it represents the center of the house as well as the family. (132 words)
