repairs D keeps house and looks after his children B I d been 16 for six days and was already prepared to deal with failure I remember when my mum woke me up that morning her voice wasn t as scratchy as it usually was I stayed in bed for a few minutes I was reluctant 不愿 to leave its warmth and comfort and reluctant to face the problem that I d let myself forget for the past six months Finally I dragged myself out of bed I finished getting ready and tried to settle down It didn t work so I decided that my mum and I should go We had a little time so I thought we could practice parking I failed with the wheel hitting the pavement After that the little bit of confidence I d had was gone I tried two more times but didn t improve much Then we headed to the test site I went into a room for some paperwork And I waited for 20 minutes just enough time to make myself believe that I was going to fail Then finally it was my turn I just wanted to get it over and make sure that I had to come back next Thursday I stepped outside and the sky was the light blue I love It offered me some comfort and I realized something sometime between when I pulled myself off the seat and when I got outside I had become calmer The first thing I had to do was parking which I did quite well The confidence that came with it hit me like a wave The rest of the test went well and I passed it all As I drove back the instructor told me I would not be coming back for a second test next Thursday Back in the building I didn t have to say a word My mum knew just by looking at me Her smile made her face softer And

move through several environments as they travel away from the cold of winter to warmer areas Birds may fly from one part of the world to another perhaps stopping at feeding grounds on the way Whales and turtles 海龜 cover vast areas of ocean The report says that changes in any one of the places which these animals use can cause serious harm Obviously these animals have developed their traveling patterns over thousands of years but climate change is almost certain to be extreme over the next 25 to 50 years and it is extremely unlikely that these animals can change their habits fast enough said the report author Dr Robert Hepworth Hardest hit by rising temperatures are turtles Scientists have found that at higher temperatures turtles products far more female eggs than male ones In parts of Malaysia turtle birthing sites are producing only females the report says It also tells us that some turtles are more likely to develop cancer as the waters get warmer With birds the main problem is climate related damage to important areas at either end of the travels or at resting places along the way About one fifth of migrating birds are now in danger because of climate related changes including rising sea levels land loss and more storms the report concludes Other animals picked out as particularly in danger include the North Atlantic Right Whale whose main food tiny fishes is disturbed by the change in ocean flows and the White Nose Dolphin which is out competed by other kinds of dolphins in warmers waters The report is not all bad news Even with major climatic changes protecting the environment can still help mobile animals to recover We need governments to stark taking action at the national and international level The clock is running said Dr Hepworth And some animals are already adapting with the report mentioning whales that are changing their feeding behaviors finding new feeding grounds and new foods to eat 44 What is the main topic of the text A The effect of climate change on migrating animals B How animals are adapting to changes in temperature C The actions required to save migrating animals D The need for government policies to prevent global warming 45 According to the report how will global warming affect turtles in the future A They will only produce female babies B Their food supply will gradually disappear C Some will suffer from higher rates of cancer D They will be in greater danger because of more strong storms 46 Which of the following is mentioned as a result of rising temperatures A More storms will affect the ability of whales to find their feeding grounds B 20 percent of all likely to die out because of land loss C Migrating animals are likely to start adapting to the changes more quickly D Warmer oceans will increase the competition between different kinds of dolphins 47 What can be inferred about turtles from the text A They are the only animals besides humans that suffer from cancer B They have traditionally lived longer than other ocean based animals C Those born nearer a hotter area are more likely to be female D Most kinds of turtles are likely to die out within 50 years D Treasure hunts 尋寶 have excited people s imagination for hundreds of years both in real life and in books such a Robert Louis Stevenson s Treasure Island Kit Williams a modern writer had the idea of combining the real excitement of a treasure hunt with clues 線索 found in a book when he wrote a children s story Masquerade in 1979 The book was about a hare and a month before it came out Williams buried a gold hare in a park in Bedfordshire The book contained a large number of clues to help readers find the hare but Williams put in a lot of red herrings or false clues to mislead them Ken Roberts the man who found the hare had been looking for it for nearly two years Although he had been searching in the wrong area most of the time he found it by logic 邏輯 not by luck His success came from the fact that he gained an important clue at the start He had realized that the words One of Six to Eight under the first picture in the book connected the hare in some way with Katherine of Aragon the first of Henry VIII s six wives Even here however Williams had succeeded in misleading him Ken knew that Katherine of Aragon had died at Kimbolton in Cambridgeshire in 1536 and thought that Williams had buried the hare there He had been digging there for over a year before a new idea occurred to him He found out that Kit Williams had spend his childhood near Ampthill in Bedfordshire and thought that he must have buried the hare in a place he knew well but he still could not see the connection with Katherine of Aragon until one day he came across two stone crosses in Ampthill Park and learnt that they had been built in her honor in 1773 Even then his search had not come to an end It was only after he had spent several nights digging around the cross that he decided to write to Kit Williams to find out if he was wasting his time there Williams encouraged him to continue and on February 24th 1982 he found the treasure It was worth 3000 in the beginning but the excitement it had caused since its burial made it much more valuable 48 What is the most important clue in the story to help Ken Roberts find the hare A Two stone crosses in Ampthill B Stevenson s Treasure Island C Katherine of Aragon D Williams hometown 49 The stone crosses in Ampthill were built A to tell about what happened in 1773 B to show respect for Henry VIII s first wife C to serve as a roadsign in Ampthill Park D to inform people where the gold hare was 50 Which of the following describes Roberts logic in searching for the hare a Henry VIII s six wives b Katherine s burial place at Kimbolton c Williams childhood

modern treasure hunt C The attraction of Masquerade D The importance of logical thinking E BEIJING The rescue operations at a coal mine accident have ended with 105 miners dead The State Council has organized an investigation team to probe 調查 into what caused the disaster in the city of Linfen North China s Shanxi Province Preliminary 初步的 investigations show the illegal mining of an unauthorized seam 未經(jīng)授權的煤層 and the number of miners who had been sent down the shaft far exceeded its capacity This mine was found to have long ignored the rules to steal state coal and did not have a list of miners employed to check the number of miners missing after the accident How did such a coal mine get all the necessary licenses for production How did it pass the three safety inspections the local government organized last month In response to this disaster the Shanxi governor promised to set up hotlines for people to report illegal coal mines and rewards as high as 100 000 yuan for tip offs We appreciate the action this governor has taken to solving the coal mining problems and we believe that the reporting scheme will help to stop the existence of illegal coal mines But at the same time we have reason to question how governments at various levels supervise these mines The sad fact that such a mine with serious safety problems could pass three consecutive 連續(xù) 的 local government safety inspections in a month is enough to tell us how ineffective the safety inspections were What if these inspections were just a formality 形式 What if the inspectors were bribed by the mine owners to turn a blind eye to the safety dangers We can well imagine what would happen if reports about mine problems were handled by such officials So a thorough probe must find out who are responsible for the death of so many miners A real safety inspection and management system must be established to guarantee that safety dangers will be removed 52 What is NOT one of the causes of this coal mine accident A The workers didn t operate properly B The mine didn t obey the rules to mine for coal C A lot more miners than allowed were working under the mine D The safety inspections were ineffective 53 According to the writer who should be further investigated A Mine owners and miners B Miners families and mine staff C Government officials and safety inspectors D The Shanxi governor and miners 54 What can we infer from the passage A More than 105 miners died in the disaster B Some other coal mines like this one exist in Shanxi province C Safety inspectors just turned a blind eye to hidden dangers D The three inspections were only a formality 55 What does the underlined word tip offs probably mean in Paragraph 4 A Some warnings B Some money for one s service C Some secret information D Some pieces of advice 第二卷 第四部分 寫作 共兩節(jié) 滿分 35 分 第一節(jié) 短文改錯 共 10 小題 每小題 1 分 滿分 10 分 此題要求改正所給短文中的錯誤 對標題號的
