科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

The whole body is covered with skin.The surface of the skin is dead(like the hair and the nails),but it is made from a living layer(層)just under the surface.The outside dead layers wear off(磨損)all the time,with new ones replacing them,and the body forms a totally new skin every three weeks.
The skin protects the body from the outside world and it passes information from the outside.It helps to keep water in the body and to keep the body at the same temperature.Becteria(細菌)can’t get in through the skin unless it is damaged.
If the weather is cold,the blood vessels(血管)in the skin squeeze down,or contract(收縮),so that as little blood as possible comes near the surface.This means that less warmth is lost to the outside.This makes the skin look pale,or even “blue”.At the same time,the hairs on the skin are pulled upright by tiny muscles.
When it is hot,the blood vessels expand(擴大),or get wider again,to allow plenty of blood to run near the surface of the skin.This helps the body to lose heat,and the skin may look red.At the same time,the sweat glands(汗腺)produce more sweat,which cools the skin.
If your skin has ever been numb(麻木的),you will realize how important the feeling from the skin is.Nerves(神經(jīng))in the skin are sensitive(敏感的)to heat and cold,sharpness,hardness and softness,wetness and dryness and pain.If one is not able to feel these things,which can act as warnings,he is likely to be burned,cut or hurt in other ways.
The colour of the skin depends on special colour cells(細胞).These are just below the top layers of the skin.They are needed as protection from some harmful ray of the sun.The stronger the sun is,the more important it is to have a dark skin.People with pale skins may “tan”(曬黑)in the sun.This happens when the body produces extra colour cells in the skin for protection.In the sun,the skin produces a vitamin(vitamin D)which is needed for strong bones.
小題1:Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．Our hair and nails are dead like the surface of the skin.
B．There is skin all over our body.
C．The skin of our bodies will be completely different in three weeks.
D．The surface of the skin is made of a living layer.
小題2:The second paragraph mainly tells us about______.
A．the functions of the skin
B．the information from the outside
C．the water in the body
D．the temperature of the body
小題3:Bacteria will get in through the skin______.
A．when one’s skin is numb
B．when one is ill
C．when the skin is cut
D．when the sweat glands produce more sweat
小題4:When the weather is cold,the skin will contract in order to______.
A．a(chǎn)llow more blood nearB．make the skin look blue
C．keep warmthD．help the body lose heat
小題5:The colour of the skin is determined by______.
A．the rays of the strong sunB．colour cells
C．top layers of the skin D．vitamin D

閱讀下列短文，從每篇短文后所給各題的四個選項（A、B、C、D）中，選出最佳選項。
Parsley（歐芹）is an ancient green and a respected addition to many foods. But other times, its job is just to make a mealtime plate look pretty. Poor parsley, valued for its looks, then is thrown away. Yet parsley is a good source of vitamins and other nutrients. The taste is a little strong for some people, but others chew on parsley to freshen their breath.
Curly parsley is the king that often ends up being used just for appearance. Flat-leaf parsley is easier to work with for cooking. This kind is often called Italian or French parsley. Do you know about a third kind of parsley? Hamburg parsley has flat leaves that can be used for the same purposes as other parsley. But Hamburg parsley has a large root which is used as a vegetable to add flavor to soups.
Parsley is used in foods such as tabouli, a traditional Lebanese salad, and is often served with lamb, fish and beef dishes. Parsley is a herb if you use just the greens. if the root is used, then parsley is considered a vegetable.
Some gardeners suggest that to get the best-tasting parsley, you should plant new seeds every year. You can get parsley to grow faster by pouring warm water over the seeds. Leave the seeds in the water overnight. Then you can grow them in containers indoors or plant them outside. Parsley grows best when temperatures are below twenty-one degrees Celsius. It likes to grow in sunny places. Tile seeds need rich soil. Plant the seeds about fifteen to twenty-five centimeters apart. Water them regularly during tile first month. After that, parsley does not need very much water. You can harvest parsley by cutting most of the plant or leave more of the plant in the ground for a second crop.
51．From the passage we can learn that __________.
A．people don’t like parsley’s strong taste at all

Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow yourself to make your life happen.
Successful and happy people have a vision of how their life should be and they set lots of goals to help them reach their vision. By setting goals you are taking control of your life. It’s like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind which is laid out for her on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, just using up gas and oil. Which driver do you want to be?
Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. Winners decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set, and they aren’t difficult to reach. It’s up to you to find out what your goals, ideals and visions really are. You are the one who must decide what to pursue and in what direction to aim your life.
Research tells us when we write a goal down, we are more likely to achieve it. Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power. Like a contract with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget.
Also when you write your goals in a particular fashion, you are able to stimulate yourself to be continuously alert to situations that will further your goals. 
小題1: The example of the two drivers is given to show_____________.
A．the importance of having a map and right direction
B．the significance of setting goals
C．the foolishness of the second driver
D．the foolishness of the first driver
小題2: If people want to reach their goals, they should _______________.
A．note down their goalsB．discuss with others and ask for their help
C．face the difficulties in front of themD．sign a contract with other people
小題3: What is the main idea of this passage?
A．Failure always accompanies the people who gives up easily.
B．Whenever you set goals, you will succeed.
C．Winners never stop their efforts for success.
D．Success is possible only when a person has set his or her goal clearly.

People living in the UK take quite a few holidays abroad and in this country each year. Choices made about where to go, how to get there and what to do while there can either benefit or harm the environment.
While on holiday
Many of the things you can do to be greener on holiday will be the same things you can do at home—but there are also some extra things too, like avoiding gifts made from endangered plants and animals. Here are some suggestions:
●Making the most of locally produced food and drink, and local activities and attractions will support people in the area you are visiting and reduce the need for further environmental influence from transport;
●Switching off any air conditioning, heating and lights will help reduce climate change effect;
●Save water—some countries suffer from water shortages and saving water can help avoid damage to our natural habitats.
Endangered species
Some gifts and foods available in some countries can be made from endangered plants or animals. Check before you buy, but if in doubt, avoid animal and plant gifts. More details of the types of products to avoid and illegal trade hotspots can be found on the Souvenir Alert webpage.
Making a positive contribution to the place you are visiting
There are ways in which your holiday can help support local people and the environment;
●There are many opportunities to volunteer and help with projects that conserve and improve natural habitats;
●When you are away, or if you are looking for somewhere to visit, you can support projects or attractions which protect wildlife, such as nature reserves and conservation projects.
60．According to the passage, we can ________ to help reduce climate change effect.

C
Isn't it astonishing how much time we spend talking about food? “Have you ever eaten …?” “What did you have for lunch?” and so on. And yet when you travel from one country to another, you will find that people have quite different feelings about food. People often feel that what they eat is normal (正常) and that what other people eat is strange or silly. In most parts of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice. In England, people eat potatoes every day. In the Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal. Eating like so many things we do, becomes a habit which is difficult to change. Americans like to drink a lot of orange juice and coffee. The English drink tea four or five times every day. Australians drink a great deal of beer, and the French drink wine every day.
The sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another. Horse meat is thought to be delicious in France. In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes. New Zealanders eat sheep, but they never eat goat meat. The Japanese don't like to eat sheep meat because of its smell, but they enjoy eating raw fish (生魚).
So it seems that although eating is a topic we can talk about for hours, there is very little common sense in what we say it. People everywhere enjoy eating what they have always eaten, and there is very little we can do to change our eating habits.
64. Which of the following is true according to the article?
A. All people have the same feeling about food.
B. In most parts of Asia, people usually have rice for meals.
C. People often consider other people to be strange or silly.
D. The topic people spend time talking about is bread and meat.
65. People in different countries   ___ .
A. drink the same sort of wine     B. have the same eating habit
C. eat different kinds of meat      D. have the same tea at different time within a day
66. The Japanese don't like to eat sheep meat    __ .
A. because they dislike its smell   B. because it is too expensive
C. because it is easy to go bad    D. because they think it will do harm to their health
67. English people drink tea four or five times a day    _  .
A. because they get thirsty easily     B. because there is plenty of tea in Britain
C. because of their drinking habit    D. because they have enough time to do so

As you move through life, you meet problems of all shapes and sizes. Some are hardly __21__ mentioning; while others are life-threatening or earth-shattering. Yet, they all have one thing in __22__.

No matter what the problem is, the gift it __28__ has a peculiar quality. It cannot be delivered __29__ into your consciousness or your awareness. You must actively choose to __30__ it and to accept it as your own. Only you can remove the wrapping, and only you can remove the gift from the box.
