I have spent years of my life traveling all over the world. When I arrive in a new country or city, usually I am very  36  and go to bed early. For this  37  my first day or night in any new place is always quiet and very  38  happens.  39  my first night in Algeciras was very different. This night was very  40   and unusual.
At that time   41  in Southern Spain was a dirty and  42  looked-after city. I arrived late in the evening by  43 . As soon as I got off the boat, I went to look for a   44  . I found a small hotel not far from the boat.
This hotel looked  45  and untidy from the outside. But I was very tired and did not know my  46  around the city of Algeciras. And so I decided to stay in this  47 hotel on the quay(碼頭). I also decided to stay in this hotel for another   48 . The moon was full and it was a clear,   49 night. From the hotel I could  50 the sea. I could see the huge rock of Gibraltar in the bright moonlight.
The hotel had a narrow  51 and no name. When I went through this doorway, I had to climb up narrow and dark stairs to the first floor. I  52 a small cupboard with a desk in front of it. This was the hotel office.
An untidy and tired woman was sitting beside the  53 . When I said I wanted a room for the night, she took me  54  some more stairs to a room on the second floor. Inside this room the landlord was sitting playing cards with some friends. He was  55 his game of cards and I was simply a nuisance(討厭的人). He looked at me when the woman told him that I wanted a room. Then he said, Room Five, and turned back to his game of cards.

It was Christmas 1961. I was teaching in a small town where my twenty-seven third graders eagerly   36  the great day of gift-giving in advance.
Each day the children produced some new   37  — strings of popcorn, handmade trinkets, and German bell. Through it all she remained alone,   38   from a distance, seemingly miles away.

The day of gift-giving finally came. We cheered over our handiwork as the presents were   42 . All along, she sat quietly watching. To see her smile, I had made a special bag for her. She opened it so slowly and carefully. I waited but she   43 . I had not passed through the wall of isolation she had   44  around herself.
After school I sat down in a chair, hardly   45  of what was happening, when she came to me with outstretched hands, bearing a small white box, and slightly soiled,   46  it had been held many times by   47 , childish hands. She said nothing. “For me?” I asked. She said not a word, but   48  her head. I took the box and cautiously opened it. There inside, glistening green, a fried marble   49  from a golden chain. Then I looked into that eight-year-old   50  and saw the question in her dark brown eyes. In a flash I knew — she had   51  it for her mother, who had died just three weeks before and would never hold her or brush her hair or   52  her childish joys or sorrows.
I meant it when I whispered, “Oh, Maria, it is so beautiful. Your mother would   53  it.” Neither of us could stop the   54 . She threw herself into my arms and we wept together. And for that brief moment I became her mother, for she had given me the greatest   55  of all: her trust and love.

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

I keep hammering this because I keep seeing people who don’t do it.
1. Look up English to Elvish.
2. Look up the Elvish word in the best Elvish dictionary you have, and, preferably, find out the context（上下文） in Tolkien’s language dictionary.
3. Change the word to suit rules of grammar: singular or plural, mutations, verb tenses, etc.
You cannot leave out any of these steps. If you do, you’re almost certain to have errors. Why you have to do step 2:
Languages never match up one- to-one. English and Elvish are closer than usual, but there are still problems. And English has strange idioms: why are there no baths or beds in public bathrooms or restrooms? You can’t translate literally（逐字地）. You have to understand the meaning behind each word.
In Elvish this is even more true, since our dictionaries contain more or less questionable reconstructions, and words that Tolkien later threw away or replaced. Find the best one you can.
Consider the word “fair”. We tend to use it to mean “just”. Tolkien tends to use it to mean “beautiful”. In Elvish, these are two entirely different words. So when you look up “fair”, you’ll have to go to the Elvish dictionary to see that you’ve got the right one.
Consider the nightmare（噩夢）of He left the bar. Is “l(fā)eft” the opposite of “right” （which also has two meanings） ? Is “bar” extruded steel（型材鋼）, or something to do with law? You have to know what words mean in both languages.
And you’d be amazed at how many people ignore step 3, forgetting that language is more than a string of words, and there are rules about how to fit those words together. You can’t simply look up the word “I” and use it everywhere. Sometimes you need “me” or “my”. There’s a reason it takes a while to learn a language: you have to learn the rules.
It drives me completely mad when people give a questionable translation they insist is right because “it’s in the dictionary”. A dictionary is a tool, a resource. but its entries（詞目）should not be mistaken for a finished product. They are raw materials.
小題1:The underlined word “this” in paragraph 1 refers to         .
A．consulting the dictionaries when translating between languages
B．finding out the true meaning in context
C．ignoring the rules of grammar
D．leaving out some of the three steps the author mentions
小題2: According to the author, you have to do step 2 because         .
A．you have to understand the meaning behind each word
B．Elvish and English are quite different in forms
C．there are no baths or beds in public bathrooms
D．Elvish has some words which are hard to find
小題3:Grammar is also very important because it         .
A．helps fit the words together
B．takes a while to learn a language
C．is a rule to obey
D．is often forgotten in translating
小題4:In the last paragraph, the author shows         .
A．his impatience to those who insist their wrong translation is right
B．his puzzle to the questionable translation
C．the importance of the correct use of dictionaries
D．the mistaken entries in the dictionaries
小題5: The passage is mainly about how to         .
A．learn a foreign language with a dictionary
B．a(chǎn)void errors when looking up a dictionary
C．understand the meaning of a strange word
D．use a dictionary to translate between languages

                         Phys ed （physical education） is making a comeback as a part of the school core curriculum（核心課程）， but with a difference．While group sports are still part of the curriculum, the new way is to teach skills that are useful beyond gym class．Instead of learning how to climb a rope, children are taught to lift weights, balance their diets and build physical endurance（忍耐力）．In this way，kids are given the tools and skills and experiences so they can lead a physically active life the rest of their life．
Considering that 15 percent of American children 6 to 18 are overweight, supporters say more money and thought must be put into phys ed curriculum．In many cases, that may mean not just replacing the old gym-class model with fitness programs but also starting up phys ed programs because school boards often "put P．E．on the chopping block（砧板）, cutting it entirely or decreasing its teachers or the days it is offered," says Alicia Moag-Stahlberg, the executive director of Action for Health Kids．The difference in phys ed programs is partly due to the lack of a national standard．"Physical education needs to be part of the core curriculum," she added．
The wisdom of the new approach has some scientific support．Researchers at the University of Wisconsin have showed how effective the fit-for-life model of gym class can be．They observed how 50 overweight children lost more weight when they cycled and skied cross-country （越野）than when they played sports．The researchers also found that teaching sports like football resulted in less overall movement, partly because some reluctant students were able to sit on the bench．
Another problem with simply teaching group sports in gym class is that only a small percentage of students continue playing them after graduating from high school．The new method teaches skills that translate to adulthood．
小題1:According to the passage, what is usually taught in the old gym class?
A．Lift weightsB．Climb a rope
C．CycleD．Have a balanced diet
小題2:What does Alicia Moag-Stahlberg mean by saying “some school boards put P．E．on the chopping block”?
A．Schools do not pay enough attention to P．E．．
B．Schools welcome P．E．but do not have time for it．
C．Schools put P．E．in the first place．
D．Schools cut down other subjects’ time for P．E．．
小題3:Which is NOT the reason to carry out phys ed programs according to the passage?
A．More teenagers are overweight．
B．Traditional group sports teaching is not effective．
C．Students need to learn some skills to help them lead a physically active life．
D．Phys ed programs need less money to support．
小題4:How many problems are mentioned in the passage with simply teaching group sports?
A．TwoB．ThreeC．FourD．One
小題5:What’s the difference between the come-back phys ed and the ordinary gym-class model？
A．The Phys ed teaches group sports．
B．The Phys ed provides more fitness programs．
C．The Phys ed teaches tools and skills which could be used in the future life．
D．The Phys ed has more support from the government．

Jascha Richter once sang “don't need too much talking without saying anything” to reveal his lonely feeling in a crowd.
Dad always told me never to ever reveal my true opinions towards other people if such opinions are negative. He said this is the “Chu Shi Zhe Xue”, the philosophy of dealing with social network.
It seems that everybody here just follows this philosophy very, very well.
Friends. I would say that if I were given true friendship I would definitely treasure it with my greatest care. If I really regard someone as my close friend, I would never leave her alone whenever she's in need, either financially or mentally. And I always believe, as long as I treat people with whole-hearted honesty, I would have some rewards—at least, just ONE true friend of the same gender（性別）.
Sometimes I just miss my friends in China. Perhaps when we became friends, we were still young, too young to have been polluted by any dirt in the society. But here, it is simply different. It seems that all of us have learnt how to SURVIVE in a foreign land and such an experience actually makes us learn how to extract (榨取) the most benefits from the surroundings in order to survive.
All are friends around me. I've looked through all the dark sides of their personalities and yet I have to pretend that I know nothing. THEY ARE GOOD. THEY ARE GOOD. AND WE ARE FRIENDS. And then I can make myself comfortable enough to talk to people I hate the most. And of course, they don't say any words truly from their hearts. Neither do I.
But, sometimes I just feel unwilling to talk to these people. Sometimes, I just want to be alone, quietly, without being forced to listen to their gossip or other useless words.
“Standing on a mountain high
Looking at the moon through a clear blue sky
I should go and see some friends         
But they don't really comprehend”
Jascha Richter expresses my feelings also.
67. 小題1:What do we know about the writer’s father according to this passage?
A．He is really a good philosopher.
B．He possibly gets on well with others.
C．He told the writer to reveal her true opinions.
D．The passage doesn’t tell us at all.
68. 小題2:What’s the most probable reason the writer mentions Jascha Richter’s song twice in the passage?
A．She likes Jascha Richter’s song.
B．Jascha Richter is one of her friends.
C．The song expresses her feelings.
D．She uses it to perfects her article.
69. 小題3:Which of the following statements about the writer is TRUE?
A．She is now living abroad but doesn’t enjoy the life there.
B．She absolutely believes in her father’s philosophy.
C．She shows a positive attitude towards her relationship with others.
D．She thinks highly of her friends by repeating “They are good”.

科目：高中英語 來源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs. These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it’s not easy to change later in life. Financial experts say that everyone also has his own belief of how to manage his money. According to our different values, experts put us in three catagories---the ant, the cricket(蟋蟀) and the snail.
★ The ant — work first
Just like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don't care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save, but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks with low risk.
★ The cricket — fun first
The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn't think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance.
★ The snail — life under pressure
The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loans(貸款) from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses. They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure they can afford them. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully.
小題1: One’s values may________.
A．be his ways of managing money
B．be his beliefs about society
C．be connected with his education
D．influence his behavior
小題2: Mr. Smith always enjoys spending a weekend with his friends, fishing, hunting and playing cards. Besides, he spends money in a very luxurious way. So_______.
A．Mr. Smith belongs to the ant type
B．Mr. Smith belongs to the cricket type
C．Mr. Smith belongs to the snail type
D．it’s hard to tell which kind of person Mr. Smith is
小題3:The writer of the passage intends _______.
A．to introduce to us the three types of people with different life style
B．to show us his special attitude to the different people
C．to tell us life is full of joy and happiness all the time
D．to warn us how to live a better life in a new way
小題4:According to the passage, the most suitable title would be _______.
A．Nature of Spending
B．What Comes First
C．How to Understand Your Belief
D．Work and Fun
