Ⅳ.閱讀理解(共20小題，每題2分，滿分40分）
A
Students who say
they never or hardly ever used dictionaries may speak English well but usually
write poorly, because they make many mistakes.
The students who use
dictionaries most do not learn especially well either. The ones who look up
every new word do not read fast. Therefore they do not have time to read much.
Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. Their
dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations of English. But
one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one
foreign word has many translations in English.
The most successful students
are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words
but do not use them too often. When they are reading, these students first try
to get the general idea and understand new words from the context. Then they
reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand.
They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not sure how to spell a
word, they always use a dictionary. Also, if they think a noun might have an
unusual plural form, they check this in a dictionary.
51.According
to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?
A. Dictionaries have little effect
on learning to speak English.
B. Whatever new words you meet
while reading, never use dictionaries.
C. Small two-language dictionaries
have serious shortcomings.
D. Reading something for the first
time, you’d better not use dictionaries.
52.This
passage mainly tells us .
A. that students shouldn’t use
small two-language dictionaries
B. what were the shortcomings of
small two-language dictionaries
C. why students should use large
college edition dictionaries
D. what dictionary students should
choose and how to use it
53.Which
is NOT mentioned in this passage?
A. How to make good use of a dictionary. B. When to use a dictionary.
C. How to improve spoken English. D. How to practice reading fast.
B
When she
looked ahead, Florence Chadwick saw nothing but a solid wall of fog. Her body
was numb(全身麻木). She had
been swimming for nearly sixteen hours. Already she was the first woman to swim
the English Channel in both directions. Now,
at age 34, her goal was to become the first woman to swim from Catalina Island
to the California
coast.
On that
fourth of July morning in 1952, the sea was like an ice bath and the fog was so
dense she could hardly see her support boats. Sharks cruised toward her lone
figure, only to be driven away by rifle shots. Against the cold sea, she
struggled on ---- hour after hour ---- while millions watched on national television.
Alongside Florence in one of the
boats, her mother and her trainer offered encouragement. They told her it
wasn't much farther. But all she could see was fog. They urged her not to quit.
She never had … until then. With only a half mile to go, she asked to be
pulled out.
She told a
reporter hours later, "Look, I'm not excusing myself, but if I could have
seen land I might have made it." It was not tiredness or even the cold
water that defeated her. It was the fog. She was unable to see her goal.
Two months
later, she tried again. This time, despite the same dense fog, she swam with
her goal clearly pictured in her mind. She knew that somewhere behind that fog
was land and this time she made it! Florence Chadwick became the first woman to
swim the Catalina Channel, eclipsing(超出) the men's record by two hours!
54.Florence Chadwick was the first woman to swim across ________.
A. the English
Channel B. the Catalina Channel
C. the California coast D. Catalina Island
55.Florence failed on her first trial mainly
because of _______.
A. the sharks B.
the tiredness
C.
the cold water D. the bad weather
56.The underlined word “then” in this passage refers to the period
when _______.
A. she had swum nearly sixteen
hours B.
sharks swam toward her
C. she couldn’t see her support
boats
D.
millions of people watched her on TV
57.We can infer from the passage that it was ______ that resulted in
her success.
A. her family’s encouragement B. her iron will C. her swimming skills D. the good weather

the first floor acting like a balcony around the edge of the building, so you

Desk and Benugo Café.

is housed in a large Victorian building in east London. It has been on this site since 1872. It
has undergone refurbishment (翻新)
and reopened in 2006 and an elevator now makes all floors accessible.

the “Code of Behavior” notice, which includes: children under 12 must be
supervised by an adult; no eating in the galleries and no running.

glass cases and there are plenty of low-level exhibits for younger children to
see. The glass cases have lots of thought-inspiring questions on them to
encourage discussion between adults and children. When you or the children need
some quiet time, there are sofas at either end of the second floor with reading
books available.
Pros: Many free activities for
kids
Cons: Can be too warm inside
Visit Duration: 1.5 hours

A quick look at the lengths of children’s index and
ring fingers can be used to predict how well students will perform in education
tests, new research claims.
Kids with longer ring fingers compared to index
fingers are likely to have higher math scores than literacy or verbal scores in
the entrance exam for primary school, while children with the reverse
finger-length ratio are likely to have higher reading and writing, or verbal,
scores versus(與......相對) math scores.
Scientists have known that different levels of the
hormones testosterone(雄性激素)and estrogen (雌性激素) in the womb(子宮) account for the different finger lengths, which are a reflection
of areas of the brain that are more highly developed than others, said
psychologist Mark Brosnan of the University of Bath in Britain, who led the
study.
Exposure to testosterone in the womb is said to
promote development of areas of the brain often associated with spatial(空間的) and mathematical skills, he
said. That hormone makes the ring finger longer. Estrogen exposure does the
same for areas of the brain associated with verbal ability and tends to
lengthen the index finger relative to the ring finger.
To test the link to children's scores on the
Scholastic Assessment Test, Brosnan and his colleagues made photocopies of
children's palms and measured the length of their index and ring fingers. They
used the finger-length ratios as a proxy(參照指標(biāo)) for the levels of testosterone and estrogen exposure.
The
researchers then looked at boys' and girls' test performances separately and
compared them to finger-length ratio measurements. They found a clear link
between high prenatal testosterone exposure, indicated by the longer ring
finger compared to the index finger, and higher scores on the math SAT.
Similarly, they found higher literacy SAT scores for
the girls among those who had lower prenatal testosterone exposure, as
indicated by a shorter ring finger compared with the index finger.
62.It’s likely that if a Chinese child with a longer index finger than
his ring finger, he will probably get good marks in ______.
A. math B.
physics C.
chemistry D.
Chinese
63.The underlined word “reverse” in Paragraph Two probably
means_______.
A. similar B.
opposite C.
indifferent D.
strange
64.What can make your index finger longer than your ring finger
according to the research?
A.
Estrogen. B.
Testosterone. C.
Vitamin. D.
Vegetables.
65.Which of the following statements
is NOT correct in the passage?
A. A child with a longer index finger than
his ring finger will fail in the math exam.
B. Girls with shorter ring fingers get higher
literacy SAT scores.
C. Kids with longer ring fingers are likely
to have higher math scores.
D. The length of the finger has something to
do with hormones.

One possible student version:
There are various ways for us middle school
students to share opinions with each other. One way is to hold discussions, where we can
freely exchange our views. We can also make use of the phone and the Internet.
Making phone calls is very convenient, yet sending messages is more popular
among us. Sometimes, we can send each other emails, in which more information
can be included and we can express our opinions more clearly.
Personally, I think talking face to face is
the best way to share opinions. In this way, I can express myself more
comfortably. Meanwhile, I can sense how others feel and learn what they think.
With the help of body language, I can make myself better understood.

like to play tennis or go for long country walks.

personal and local matters to the state and finally the nation ― not the other
way around.

M: This machine drives me mad.
W: How come?
M: Well, most of the time, it's fine. I rent a movie and I put it
in and press ON. But the other day, I wanted to program it, like, to record a
show. So, I read the directions. And I followed them exactly, you know, step by
step, but then, nothing. It didn't record.
W: Is there anything wrong with the machine?
M: With the machine? No. There’s something wrong with me. I’m no good
with, like, electronic equipment.

M: Good
morning, and I'd like to welcome all of you to the University of North
Carolina. This is the oldest public university in
the United States,
and we are proud to say that we offer one of the best public education
opportunities anywhere in the nation. The school started in 1792, and has been
open ever since, with the exception of having been closed for two years in the
1860s because so many young men left to fight in the Civil War. Following the
war, the university opened its doors again and has been open ever since. In
this century, the student number has been increasing rapidly, including women and small groups. Now
we are looking forward to a bright future where students from all backgrounds attend this
university. Thank you.
