第三部分 閱讀理解（第一節15小題，第二節5小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）

第一節 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

LOS ANGELES: The world’s oldest person celebrated her 115th birthday on Monday with music， cakes and a letter of congratulation from US President Barack Obama. Gertrude Baines， who became the planet’s longest living human in January following the death of Portuguese woman， Maria de Jesus， also 115， marked her birthday at Los Angeles Western Convalescent Hospital. Baines —who owes her longevity（長壽）to her belief and clean living — attracted worldwide headlines last November when she became the oldest African-American to vote for Obama.

She made her latest statement on Monday by declaring that she hopes to be around to vote for Obama again in 2012. Monday’s low-key（低調的）birthday party saw a group of friends sing Happy Birthday to Baines before the reading of a statement from The Guinness Book of World Records saying she is the world’s oldest person. “The only thing she is not satisfied with， well， there are two things. One thing， she doesn’t like meat. It’s not delicious enough，” her doctor， Charles Witt， told KCAL9 local television. “And the other thing is she worries about her pains of her knees. She told me that she owes her longevity to the Lord， that she never did drink， that she never did smoke and that she never did fool around.”

Born in 1894 in Shellman， Georgia， Baines’ father is the son of slaves， and she has lived longer than her entire family. Her only daughter died of fever when she was a child just learning to walk. Baines， who worked in University of Ohio dormitories until she retired， has lived at the Convalescent Hospital for more than 10 years.

56. How many reasons are mentioned in the passage which lead to Baines’ long life?

A. One.B. Two.

C. Three.D. Four.

57. Which of the following is TURE about Gertrude Baines’ birthday?

A. Her daughter sang Happy Birthday to her.

B. President Barack Obama came to attend her birthday party.

C. She and Maria de Jesus both became the oldest living person in the world that day.

D. She was recognized as the oldest person by The Guinness Book of World Records.

58. According to the text Gertrude Baines is anxious about ＿＿＿ .

A. her daughterB. Obama’s election

C. her kneesD. her life

59. What is the best title for the passage?

A. Oldest Person Keen to Vote for Obama AgainB. Grand 115th Birthday Celebrations

C. A Noble Old Woman in the WorldD. Clean Living Makes You Live Long

One of Aesop’s fables（伊索寓言）describing a thirsty crow（烏鴉）which was able to drink from a half-full container after raising the water level by adding little stones may have had a basis in real life.

Scientists have found that rooks（白嘴鴉）— a member of the crow family—were able to figure out how to raise the water level in a lab container by dropping stones inside to get a tasty worm floating on the surface， just like the crow in the fable， which shows the power of imagination and how necessity is the mother of invention. The only other animal shown to be able to perform the same task is the ape（猿）， which was able to seize a floating nut by throwing out water into a big bottle. Scientists believe it shows that， in many aspects， rooks and crows have intelligence comparable to apes when it comes to the use of tools.

“We have performed a large number of studies on both the crow family and apes， and have found that the crow’s performance is equal to or often higher than apes. However， it is not particularly useful to say that one kind is more or less sensible than another because often the playing fields aren’t even，” said Nathan Emery， who carried out the work with Christopher Bird at Cambridge. “This study suggests that they can not only think through hard problems requiring the use of tools， but imagine the results of their actions without trying and making mistakes， and produce proper ways to these problems that have never been met before.”

“We believe that the intelligence in rooks and other crows is developed mainly to solve social problems， as almost all crow species live in large social groups， but they also mainly form pair relations， like human marriages， and some of their knowing abilities appear to have developed to help them guess what others are going to do next — so-called mind reading.”

60. An ape is a kind of animal that ＿＿＿ .

A. can get a tasty worm in a containerB. can grasp a floating nut in a bottle

C. has the intelligence different from rooks and crowsD. can satisfy his needs by using some tools

61. According to the text， we learn ＿＿＿ .

A. apes are sure to be cleverer than crows

B. crows and apes can simply think through hard problems by using tools

C. crows and apes can find a way out only after trying

D. crows and apes have thought of the result before action

62. It can be inferred from the text that the intelligence in crows ＿＿＿ .

A. is their born qualityB. makes them live in pairs

C. develops from their social lifeD. comes from their predicting ability

63. What’s the author’s purpose of writing this text?

A. To introduce the research discovery.B. To help readers understand the crow family.

C. To describe an Aesop’s story.D. To compare crows and apes.

Most parents do not like their children’s music. For example， today’s parents do not like rap（說唱）music. But what the parents do not understand is that people who make rap music have important abilities.

Think about the words in a rap song. Many of the words in the songs sound the same. For example， each word at the end of a line in the song usually has the same sound. Say that a singer used the word “eat”， he might also want to use the words “feet” and “meat” in the song. This is because these words end in the same sound as “eat”. So the person who writes the song has to know many words to find words that have the same sound and make sense in the song. Many people who do not like rap music do not think about rap singers’ abilities and the clever way that they use words.

Another thing that rappers do well is putting songs together. Rap singers mix songs from older records with their own music. A good rap song has many different songs in it. So， a rapper has to know a lot about older music. In fact， rappers can mix different kinds of music into their songs， not just rap music. Many times， rappers will put famous parts of old rock and roll， old pop， or old disco songs into a rap song. As long as the rap singer tells people who made the older songs， the rock， pop， or disco singers do not mind. If a rap singer does not say where he or she got the music from， then the other singers get mad.

Some parents think that rap is not really music. But that does not mean that the people making rap music do not have any special abilities.

64. This passage is mainly about ＿＿＿ .

A. making rap music B. words in rap music

C. old songs used in rap music D. mixing songs in rap music

65. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the writer?

A. Making rap songs is not very difficult.

B. Rappers have to know lots of different words.

C. Rap music has nothing to do with old rock and roll.

D. Parents usually enjoy the same music as their children.

66. From this passage we know that ＿＿＿ .

A. rap singers often borrow music from older songs

B. rappers do not need to make sense for their songs

C. putting older songs together to make rap music is quite easy

D. rappers do not usually know much about other kinds of music

It’s a question that every college student must answer. Both choices have their advantages and disadvantages so it is important for you to weigh them before you make a final decision.

◆◆On-Campus

Pros:

Convenience to go to school. If you live on campus， you can easily walk to classes， libraries， computer labs， etc. You don’t have to waste time and money in driving to school， finding a parking space and so on.

Simplicity. You don’t have to worry about monthly rent payment， bills and shopping. Most students living in a dorm get convenient meals.

Increased social life. Living on campus will allow you to meet more people and build more friendships. You will also usually know about campus activities and how to be involved in them.

Cons:

Little privacy（隱私）. The close living space means little privacy. You may never have quiet time in your dorm because there will always be something going on.

Limited space. At most colleges， the dorm life is very social， so your grades may be affected in a negative way. If you often choose hanging out with your dorm fellows over studying at the library， then your GPA will suffer.

◆◆Off-Campus

Pros:

Independence. Living off campus will give you freedom from those rules and allow you to set your own.

Privacy. Living off campus means that you will be more than likely to have your own bedroom so you can have a place to sneak off and have time alone away from your roommates.

Sense of responsibility（責任）. If you live off campus， you will be in charge of paying bills， cleaning house， shopping， and cooking.

Cons:

More expenses. Public service can be an extra monthly bill. You will need to buy furniture， kitchen and bath necessities， etc.， which can be a big start-up cost. Traffic， whether you drive or use public transportation， is still going to cost you money.

Separation from others. You may be less involved with campus activities， and this could cause you to feel a sense of separation from your college.

67. This passage is written to ＿＿＿ .

A. introduce what college life is like to students

B. help students choose to live on or off campus

C. explain different opinions about college life

D. offer some advice on how to start college life

68. The underlined word “weigh” in Paragraph 1 probably means ＿＿＿ .

Gift Giving

71. ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿

There are many occasions for giving gifts in modern industrialized societies: birthdays， naming ceremonies， weddings， anniversaries， New Year. It is common to give gifts on many of these celebrations in western cultures. In addition， special events， such as one’s first day of school or graduation from university， often require gift giving.

72. ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿

What is happening when we give gifts? Most important， we are exchanging gifts. If someone gives me a gift for my birthday， I know that I am usually expected to give one on his or her next birthday. A gift builds up or confirms a social obligation.

73. ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿

Gifts tighten personal relationships and provide a means of communication between loved ones. People say that a gift lets the recipient（接受者）know we are thinking of him， and that we want to make the person “feel special”. We want people to feel wanted， to feel part of our social or family group. We give presents to say “I’m sorry”. Sometimes it is difficult for us to find a present that someone will like. Sometimes we give things that we like or would feel comfortable with. In all these cases， the gifts are sending out messages—often very expressive ones.

74. ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿

People tend to talk about presents in a fairly loving way. A woman whose mother had died years ago described the many gifts around her house. These were gifts that her mother had given her over the years: “I appreciate these， and they mean something to me，” the woman said， “because I remember the occasions they were given on， and that they were from my mother， and the relationship we’ve had.” The gifts remain and keep the relationship alive in mind. This woman felt the same way about the gifts she gave to others. She hoped that the recipients would look at her gifts in years to come and remember her.

75. ＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿

Emotions like these suggest that a positive spirit still lies behind gift giving. They prove that the anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss was wrong to say that modern western gift giving is highly wasteful. Studies in Canada and elsewhere have also shown that this is not the case. Each gift is unique even if so many are given. The emotional benefit for those who exchange gifts is the very reason for the tradition to continue.
