閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳選項。

A

Esmeralda

This Portuguese ship sank off the coast of Oman in 1503. First discovered in 1998 and then extensively excavated （發掘） by a team led by David Mearns between 2013 and 2015， it is the oldest shipwreck recovered from Europe’s Age of Exploration.

Black Sea Shipwreck

Discovered in 2018 by a team from the Black Sea Maritime Archaeology Project， the ship sank more than 2，400 years ago. It is the oldest undamaged shipwreck ever found. “A ship in such good condition from the classical world is something I would never have believed possible，” said Professor Jon Adams， the principal investigator of the team that found the wreck.

Gribshunden

The flagship of John， King of Denmark， caught fire and sank in the Baltic Sea in 1495. There， it lay undiscovered until members of a local dive club came across it in the 1970s; unaware of its significance， they did not report it to archaeologists until 2000， and not until 2013 was the wreck’s identity confirmed. Considered one of the best-preserved shipwrecks of the period， it has slowly been revealing its secrets.

Black Swan

In May 2007， a Florida-based company announced that， using underwater robots， it had discovered a shipwreck in the Atlantic， code-named “Black Swan”. However， the government of Spain claimed that the wreck was the Nuestra Senora de las Mercedes， a Spanish ship that sank off the coast of Portugal in 1804 following a battle with four British navy （海軍） ships. After a long legal battle， the treasure was returned to Spain in 2012.

21. Which shipwreck is the latest discovery？

When Stephen Mills spotted a dusty old safe in a museum in Canada， he thought he’d try to crack the code， “just like in the movies”. But when he began turning the dial， he wasn’t expecting a Hollywood ending.

For years， anyone who visited the Vermillion Heritage Museum in Alberta would have passed by a large， black metal box. Staff knew it had come from the long-gone Brunswick Hotel and was donated to the museum in the 1990s， but its code and contents remained a mystery for decades—until Mills unexpectedly cracked the code.

Mills， who lived in Fort McMurray， Alberta， was visiting the museum with his family last month over a holiday weekend. As they wandered around the exhibits with the museum guide， Tom Kibblewhite， they spotted the safe.

Kibblewhite told the family what he had told all other guests： the 900 kg black box with a silver dial had remained closed for generations. For years， the safe has intrigued volunteers at the museum. The manufacturer was unable to provide advice on how to open its thick door.

A locksmith once suggested that years of inactivity might have slowed down the gears （齒輪）， making it not work. But Mills， who is a “mechanically-minded person”， asked whether he could give it a try. “Kibblewhite kept saying no one had opened it and that it was a mystery what was inside，” Mills said. “I thought this would be a great thing to do for a laugh for the kids. Maybe they can find some interesting historical things in it.”

After pressing his ear against the cool metal， he began turning the dial around quickly. With numbers ranging from 0 to 60， he turned clockwise three times to 20， counterclockwise two times to 40， and then clockwise one time to 60. He was astonished to hear a click. “I jumped up and told everyone I was buying a lottery ticket （彩票），” he said.

24. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 probably mean？

A. He didn’t think he would open the safe. C. He didn’t turn the dial in the beginning.

B. He got experience in a Hollywood movie. D. He expected to win the lottery in the end.

25. What can we know about the safe？

A. It has a broken dial.

B. It is a donation from a businessman.

C. It is one of the most valuable exhibits in the museum.

D. It has been closed since it was brought to the museum.

26. How many times did Mills turn the dial clockwise to crack the code？

A. Four times. B. Three times. C. Two times. D. Once.

27. What does the story mainly tell us？

A. Everyone can do something great. B. Success is for the prepared ones.

C. A safe is not always that “safe”. D. Life is just full of surprises.

Lake Titicaca is a freshwater lake in the Andes mountains on the border of Bolivia. It’s the largest freshwater lake in South America. Dotted along the lake’s western corner， you can find dozens of artificial islands. Several thatched （茅草的） houses and structures sit on each island， some of which are only 30 meters or so wide， although larger ones exist.

The floating platforms are built by piling layers upon layers of mixed totora roots and reeds （蘆葦）. The totora plant is necessary to life on the lake. Its strong root fibers are used to make houses， boats， roofs， mattresses， and more， as well as used to make tea， traditional medicine， and tasty dishes known as “lake banana”.

So the story goes， this unusual living arrangement came out in the pre-Columbian era when the ambitious Inca Empire began invading into the mainland villages of Uros. The Uros villages moved to Lake Titicaca where they built these floating platforms. If invading Inca came their way， the Uros could push these artificial islands out to the middle of the lake and flee their attack.

The threat of the Inca Empire has long passed， but the tradition remains strong. Even today， it’s estimated that around 1，300 Uros live on some 100 constructed islands on Lake Titicaca. Maintaining the lifestyle isn’t easy. While totora is a tough material， the thatched organic material degrades （降解） due to the forces of nature over time， meaning the islands and homes are in a constant state of repair.

However， the traditional way of life isn’t without its modern benefits. Many of the islands have solar panels that power lights， radios and television satellites. The lake’s artificial islands have also become a must-see spectacle for tourists， with some locals even renting out their totora-thatched homes to travelers" online.

28. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about？

A. The value of the totora plant. B. The process to build the islands.

C. The islands made of water plants. D. The tradition and history of the Uros.

29. Why did Uros build dozens of artificial islands on the lake？

A. To live an independent life. B. To preserve their old lifestyle.

C. To build thatched houses on them. D. To protect themselves against enemies.

30. What would visitors like to see on the artificial islands？

A. The Uros’ centuries-old tradition. B. The ruins of totora-thatched homes.

C. The modern devices invented by Uros. D. The Inca Empire in the pre-Columbian era.

31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text？

A. To persuade people to visit a lake. B. To tell an interesting story.

C. To talk about a traditional way of life. D. To introduce Lake Titicaca’s artificial islands.

People trained to detect lies often rely on multiple signs， such as eye contact， length of responses and the details in what people say， but studies have shown that assessing a wide range of behavioral information can make it harder to decide if someone is lying. Instead， Bruno Verschuere at the University of Amsterdam and his colleagues have found that focusing on the detail in what people say， while ignoring all other signs， is the most successful method to identify lies.

To figure it out， the researchers asked 44 students to either go for a walk or steal from a postbox in a mock （模擬的） crime. The team then conducted recorded interviews with the students， who were told to lie if they had committed the mock theft or to tell the truth if not.

Next， the researchers asked 171 people to watch six truthful and six deceptive （騙人的） interviews from these recordings. The team asked half of the participants to rate how much the interviewees avoided eye contact， which is widely believed to indicate lying. The other participants ranked the level of detail in interview statements. It showed that both truth-tellers and liars broke eye contact a similar amount， but truthful statements were much more detailed than deceptive ones， suggesting the latter is a more useful way to tell that someone is lying.

The researchers then asked 405 people to judge the true nature of six truthful and six deceptive statements chosen from written records of the interviews. The half of the participants relying on multiple signs accurately judged lies from the truth just 59% of the time， while the other half relying on level of detail alone identified the right answer 66% of the time.

“Our take is that using just one sign can provide a much simpler way to judge lies from the truth，” says Verschuere. Nevertheless， in the real world， you would probably want to check the truthfulness of statements through further investigations or follow-up questions， he says.

32. What did the researchers ask the students to do？

A. Lie about their mock theft. B. Record their own behaviors.

C. Describe their behaviors in detail. D. Avoid eye contact in the interview.

33. How did the researchers draw their conclusion？

A. By comparing data. B. By watching interviews.

C. By analyzing statements. D. By observing participants.

34. What does Verschuere think of the real-life application of the finding？

A. It works well. B. It’s unsuccessful.

C. It has some limitations. D. It’s of special use.

35. What can be the best title for the text？

A. The Secrets Behind Lies B. The Best Way to Spot Liars

C. The Importance of Eye Contact D. Multiple Signs in Detecting Lies

How Do Languages Die？

How many languages do you think are there in the entire world？ Altogether， people around the world speak about 6，000 languages. Does that surprise you？ 36 Today， about half the world’s spoken languages are endangered. Experts say that another language becomes extinct every two weeks.

How do languages die？ They die when people stop using them. But most people don’t just stop speaking their native language. It’s more complex than that. More often， they’re either pressured or forced to do so. 37 They are often pressured to speak the area’s main language instead of their own. This leads many immigrants to stop using their native language. They might not even teach it to their children.

Slowly， the native language dies out.

Sometimes， languages shift or develop instead of becoming extinct. Have you ever heard that Latin is a dead language？ In a way， it is. No one today speaks Latin as their native language. 38 People still use Latin in many ways. Scientists use it to name plants and animals.

39 That means the death of a language hurts people’s ability to take part in cultural traditions. They might lose access to stories and knowledge that were passed down for many years. This is one reason why many people today are working to save dying languages.

How can languages be saved？ Some young people learn the language of their ancestors as adults. Linguists travel the world to record the last native speakers of dying languages. Some native speakers write dictionaries in their languages. They do so in the hope that future generations will bring the languages back to life. 40

A. There used to be many more！

B. You may have used it in school.

C. Languages are extremely closely tied to culture.

D. But that doesn’t mean it disappeared completely.

E. One example is when people move to a different country.

F. There are plenty of things to do to help protect languages.

G. Many programs also work to help preserve native languages and culture.

History’s first empire rose out of a hot， dry landscape， without rainfall for crops， without trees or stones for building. In spite of all this， its people built the world’s first cities， with monumental architecture and large populations—and they built them 41 out of mud.

Sumer 42 the southern part of modern Iraq in the region called Mesopotamia. Mesopotamia means “between two rivers”—the Tigris and the Euphrates. Around 5000 BCE， early Sumerians used channels and dams （水壩） to 43 river water and farm large areas of previously 44 land. Agricultural communities like this were slowly 45 in Mesopotamia.

But Sumerians were the first to take the 46 step. They began to build multi-storied homes and temples by using 47 made from river mud. Those clay bricks gave rise to the world’s first 48 ， like Uruk， Ur， and Eridu， probably around 4500 BCE.

The Sumerians created the first 49 system， designed to teach the ability of writing. In the schools， people studied from dawn to dusk， from 50 well into adulthood. They 51 accounting， mathematics， and copied works of literature.

But by the third millennium （千年） BCE， Sumer was no longer the 52 empire around， or even in Mesopotamia. Waves of nomadic （游牧的） tribes poured into the 53 from the north and east. In 2300 BCE， the Sumerian Empire was conquered and 54 .

Afterward， Sumer disappeared back into the desert dirt， not to be 55 until the 19th century.

My name’s Don Ball. I’m fifteen and I go to Blueway Comprehensive School. Mike is the same age and goes to the local grammar school， but we’ve been friends since junior school. We both live in the village of Saltley， which is in the Midlands. We’ve been bird-watching together since we were 11. I suppose we’re quite good at it now， because we do it regularly， read about it， use the Internet to find out about birds， and we’re members of a club for bird-watchers， too.

We have a secret place， named RP， to watch birds. RP is the name we gave to a set of three small lakes surrounded by woods. They are called Redman’s Pools on large maps， but lots of people don’t know they are there because they are hidden by trees.

One day， Mike told me that he saw ospreys （魚鷹） there， which surprised me. There weren’t any in Britain because they’d been hunted too much. They were protected by the RSPB， because lots of people wanted the eggs for their collections.

By now the ospreys had finished building their nest at the top of one of the pine trees on the island in the middle of Big Pool. Of course， we still went to watch them every weekend and a couple of nights after school， now that the days were getting longer.

One Saturday we were surprised to find a white car parked on the roadside near the track， and as we wheeled our bikes down the track to Redman’s Pools we saw a middle-aged man walking along the side of the pools with a large blue plastic bag over his shoulder.

He stopped at the point where the bank was the closest to the island and started doing something with the bag. I was horrified by what I saw. The man had taken a small inflatable （可充氣的） plastic boat out of his blue bag， and he was blowing it up.

注意：續寫詞數應為150個左右。

He was going to row over to the ospreys’ island！

Seeing him climbing up the tree， I knew it was the time to call the police.
