I felt encouraged by his words and began to swim more calmly.But my clothes stuck to me like a heavy weight.I could hardly stay above the surface.
Counsel saw this.“Shall I cut them?”he asked.
With a knife he cut my clothes from top to bottom and took them of quickly while I swam for both of us.
Then I did the same for Counsel,and we continued to swim near each other.
But we were in serious trouble.The crew（船員）might not have noticed our disappearance.
And if they had,they could not return because the rudder（舵）had broken.Counsel thought of all this,and calmly made his plans.We decided to wait for the ship as long as possible,because we had no other hope of safety.I suggested that we save our strength so that both of us would not be tired out at the same time.This was how we did it:While one of us lay on his back,quite still,with arms crossed and legs stretched out（伸直）,the other would swim and push him along.We changed every ten minutes or so.In this way we could swim for hours,perhaps till daylight.The crash（破裂聲）of the ship and the whale（鯨）had appeared at about eleven o’clock.We had about eight hours to swim before daylight.This seemed possible,if the sea remained calm.

三、閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）
請閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選題，并在答題卡上將該選項的標號涂黑。
A
In America, when people say “man’s best friend”, they don’t mean another person. Instead, they are talking about a lovely animal：A dog! These words show the friendship between people and animals. Dogs and other pets can give happiness to people’s lives. Some people think of their pets as their children. A few even leave all their money to their pets when they die!  
Animals can help people, too. Dogs can be taught to become the“eyes”for a blind person or “ears”for a deaf person. Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier, too. Because of that, animals are brought into hospitals for “visit”.
Americans hold “Be-Kind-to-Animals Week”in the first week of May.
Pet shows are held during the week. Even if you don’t live in America, you, too, can do this. How? First, think about how animals make your life richer. If you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it delicious food. Also, be sure to keep your pet from those unwanted babies.
If you don’t have a pet, be kind to animals around you. For example, if you see a street dog, don’t kick (踢) it or throw things at it. Instead, just leave it alone, or better it yet, make friends with it. If others around you do bad things to an animal, try to stop them. As people, we must protect animals who can’t speak for themselves.  
56. “A few even leave all their money to their pets when they die!” means that ________.
A. pets have the right to inherit (繼承) money     B. money can give pets happiness
C. it’s the best way to spend money                    D. some pets are taken as children
57.  Dogs are brought to hospitals       
A. because they are ill and need to see doctors
     B. because they can make the patients happier
C. because they can find out the problems of the patients
D. because doctors can do experiments on them.
58.The most popular activity in the “Be-Kind-to-Animals Week”is         .
A. holding a pet show in the week                        B. playing with pets the whole week
C. cooking delicious food for pets                      D. making friends with other people’s pets
59. The passage is mainly about          .  
A. a lot of people are interested in dogs                     B. dogs can help people do many things
C. pets are lovely and need care and protection    D. we have done a lot of things for pets

第二部分閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）
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
When I was still a student, I found it hard to get back on track with school after the holiday break ended. Fortunately, I could also make up for late homework. But as a working professional, I no longer have that luxury — any delay or mistakes in my work caused by a holiday hangover may end up being costly. The good news is that with a simple strategy in place, it won’t take much effort to return to your normal productivity level.
Plan your post-holiday work schedule even before the holiday begins. This is the primary reason why I easily got back to my regular workload. As soon as the holiday was over, all I had to do was look at the schedule I prepared two weeks earlier to see what I needed to do. Without it, I would have probably spent a day or two regrouping.
I have to admit that it’s wise to work a little during the holidays. If you feel that’s being too much of a killjoy, choose to work on light tasks — perhaps checking your mail or brainstorming. The point is to avoid work being overwhelming after the holidays. It doesn’t mean you’ll get up in the middle of a family gathering and start typing away in your laptop. Make yourself part of the festivities, only get some work done during times when less is happening.
Stick with your normal body clock. Many people feel tired post-holidays because their body clocks have adjusted to a later waking-up time. If this has happened to you, make sure to try and reset your body clock back to suit your ideal sleeping hours before the regular workweek starts.
It’s important to relax. I know some people who actually spend the holidays being completely stressed out preparing gifts and celebrations. The irony is, they don’t end up enjoying their supposed “vacation time” from work. Avoid falling into that trap and catch up on your sleep.
56. How many tips does the author mention in this passage?
A. 2.                            B. 3.                                   C. 4.                                   D. 5.
57. What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?
A. Do some light work while you enjoy your holidays.
B. Too much work during the holidays is a killjoy.
C. Make yourself part of the festivities.
D. Don’t forget your mail during your holidays.
58. According to the passage, some people feel tired after the holiday because they       .
A. work too much during the holidays
B. disturb their normal body clock
C. don’t have enough sleep during the holidays
D. always have more work to do than usual
59. We may learn from the passage that        .
A. the author is a student on his holiday
B. the author always ruins his work after-holiday
C. it’s important to pre-plan the work schedule
D. holidays are usually bad for regular work
60. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Plan Your Holidays Wisely
B. Work Hard after Your Holidays
C. After-holiday Work Is Overwhelming
D. How to Avoid After-holiday Tiredness

第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）
閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A,B,C,D）中，選出最佳選項。
A
One day, when we had been riding in the burning sun for five hours, we came to a narrow, shaky bridge where a railways crossed a stagnant pond (發(fā)臭的池塘)。 For 30 feet there was nothing but the widely-spaced wooden sleepers（枕木）under ore wheels, and nothing to stop us from falling into the steaming bog (沼澤) below if we overbalanced. Right under the bridge lay the bridge and rode straight over, without even slowing down. I stopped.
“What’s up?” he shouted, from the other side.
“I’m not riding over that thing. If I fall, I’ll be there with that cow!”
“There’s nothing to it. I just did it, didn’t I?”
“You’re stronger and taller. My feet can’t touch the ground. You do it for me!”
Mat said strength didn’t come into it and rode off, leaving me staring down into the sickly brown soup. He would be waiting for me around the next corner, but I knew he would give me at least an hour before coming to help. The sun burned my face; sweat ran off my forehead into my eyes and stuck my shirt to my body; mosquitoes flew into my mouth when I breathed. To stand still in this place was to kill myself; anyway, to sit around waiting for Mat to help was more than my feminist (女權主義) pride could take. I rode back along the track a few hundred yards to get a good run-up, and over I went. Mat was right. All the obstacles were in my mind.
The author stopped near the bridge because ______.
She was tired and wanted to have a rest
She found a dead cow under the bridge
She was afraid of falling off the bridge
She didn’t know how to cross the bridge
Why did Mat refuse to help the author?
A. He wanted to finish the journey as soon as possible
B. He felt she should overcome her fear by herself
C. He didn’t believe she was really afraid
D. He knew she was too proud to accept his help
What does the underlined part “sickly brown soup” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. The body of a dead cow        B. The mud on the wheals
C. The dirty water in the pond      D. The author’s food for the journey
59. According to the last paragraph, the author seems to believe that ______.
A. nothing is difficult to the man who will try
B. a friend in need is a friend indeed
C. you can’t make something out of nothing
D. well begun is half done

卡上將該項涂黑。

The 2009 outbreak of HINI is a new kind of influenza virus, commonly referred to as “swine flu”. It is thought to be a break of four known kinds of influenza. A virus subtype H1N1: one endedmic(流行病) in humans, one endemic in birds, and two endemic in pigs (swine). The source of the outbreak in humans is still unknown, but cases were first discovered in the U.S. and soon after in Mexico.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC)，it is not yet clear how serious this new virus actually is compared with other influenza viruses, although on May 26 they stated that new cases in the U.S. have probably reached the hightest point, and most cases have so far been mild relative to “seasonal flus”. But because this is a new virus, most people will not have immunity(免疫性) to it, and illness may eventually become more severe and widspread. The H1N1 flu mainly spreads in the same way that regular “seasonal influenza” spreads through the air from coughs and sneezes or touching those infected. It cannot be transmitted from eating cooked pork or by being in close contact with pigs.

As yet there is no vaccine(疫苗) available to prevent infection although companies are in the planning stages for having one available later this year. But there is concern that the virus could vary again over the coming months, leading to a new and potentially more dangerous flu outbreak later in the year, and a vaccine that will be less effective in preventing its spread.

As of May 27, the virus had spread to more than 50 countries; however, over 80% of reported deaths have taken place in Mexico. According to the CDC, the fact that the flu’s infection activity is now monitored more closely may help explain why more flu cases than normal are being recorded in Mexico, the United States and other countries.    

1. The 2009 outbreak of H1N1 is thought to      .

A.be concerned with four endmics                                             

B.have come from the virus from pigs

C.occur because of unknown virus in Mexico

D.be caused because of people without immunity

2.According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ______.

A.most people won’t be infected with the flu                                           

B.the H1N1 will not be too mild to cause many deaths in the world

C.the present situation allows of no optimist

D.H1N1 can be transmitted by touching pigs                             

3.To make people worried more is that      .

A.no effective vaccine can prevent the virus from spreading

B.the virus will mutate in the following months

C.a seasonal influenza will break out

D.the newly-developed vaccine will lose effectiveness

4.From the passage we can learn that      .

A.every country is watching closely the spreading of the H1N1                        

B.more than one-fourth of the deaths from the H1N1 are in Mexico                          

C.only the United States and Mexico recorded the cased of influenza                                                                     

D.effective medicine has been produced to cure the H1N1

第三部份　閱讀理解（共20小題，每小題2分，滿分40分）

閱讀下面短文，從短文后所給各題的四個選項（A、B、C、D）中選出最佳選項。

Dear Betty,

My roommate’s family wants me to celebrate Thanksgiving Day with them in their home. I accepted the invitation, and I’m excited about going, but I’m a little nervous about it, too. The social customs in my country are different from those here, so I’m a little worried about making mistakes.

Should I bring a gift, such as candy or flowers? Should I arrive on time or a little late?  At the dinner table, how can I know which fork or knife to use? How can I let the family know that I’m thankful for their kindness?

Yours,

Knowing Nothing

Dear Knowing Nothing,

It’s a good idea to bring a gift when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always welcome, or you can bring a bottle of wine if you know the family drink it.

You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don’t get there early. If you are going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them.

Try to relax at the dinner table. If you don’t know how to use the right fork, knife or spoon, just watch the other guests, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, don’t be shy about asking the person next to you; it’s better to ask them than to be silently uncomfortable and nervous.

If you like the food, say so. Of course, you’ll thank the host and hostess for the meal and for their kindness. It’s also a good idea to send a card to thank them the day after.

Yours,

Betty

56. Knowing Nothing wrote a letter to Betty to _____.

A. tell Betty some good news     B. ask for some advice

C. answer some questions            D. invite her to dinner

57. According to Betty, Knowing Nothing ______ when going to a dinner party.

A. can only bring some flowers      

B. can’t bring wine

C. should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late

D. should arrive twenty minutes late
