I first went to Harrow in the summer term. The school had the biggest swimming pool I had ever seen. It was a good joke to come up behind a naked boy, and push him into the pool. I made quite a habit of this with boys of my own size or less.

One day I saw a boy wrapped in a towel on the side of the pool. He was no bigger than I was, so I thought him a fair game. Coming secretly behind, I pushed him in, holding on to his towel so that it would not get wet, I was surprised to see an angry face come out from the water, and a being of great strength making its way by face strokes (猛力地劃)to the shore. I fled（逃跑）, but in vain. He overtook me, seized me violently, and threw me into the deepest part of the pool. I soon climbed out on the other side, and found myself surrounded by a crowd of younger boys.” Do you know what you have done?” they said, “It’s Amery; he is in Grade Six. He is champion at gym; he has got his football honor.”

I was frightened and felt ashamed. “How could I tell his position when he was wrapped in a bath towel and so small.” He didn’t seem pleased at all, so I added in a most brilliant word, “My father, who is a great man, is also small.” Hearing that, he laughed, and after some general words about my rude behavior and how I had better be careful in the future, signified the incident was closed.

The writer thought Amery” a fair game” because the boy   .

A. looked like an animal      B. was fond of games

C. was of similar size         D. was good at sports

The writer felt” ashamed” because    .

A. he was laughed at by other boys     B. Amery turned out to be in the same grade

C. he pushed Amery hard and hurt him  D. he played a joke on an outstanding athlete

By saying “My father, who is a great man, is also small”, the writer   .

A. tried to please Amery       B. challenged Amery

C. threatened Amery           D. admired his father

Which of the following is TRUE?

A. The writer could run faster than Amery.

The man who invented Coca-Cola was not a native Atlanta, but on the day of his funeral every drugstore in town shut up the shop in honor of him. He was John Styth Pemberton, born in 1833 in Knoxville, Georgia, eighty miles away. Pemberton was a chemist, sometimes known as Doctor, who, during the Civil War, became an officer and led a cavalry troop. He settled in Atlanta in 1869, and soon began making such patent medicines as Triplex Liver Pills and Globe of Flower Cough Syrup.

In 1885, he registered a trademark for something called French Wine Coca-Ideal Nerve and Tonic Stimulant. A few months later, he formed the Pemberton Chemical Company, and hired an accountant named Frank M. Robinson, who had not only a good head for figures, but, attached to it, so unique a nose that he could judge the ingredients of a batch of syrup merely by sniffing it.

In 1886 --- a year in which, as contemporary Coca-Cola officials like to point out, the English writer Conan Doyle made Sherlock Holmes known publicly and France found the truth about the Statue of Liberty --- Pemberton invented a syrup that he called Coca-Cola. It was a change of his French Wine Coca. He had taken out the wine and added a bit of caffeine, and, when the end product tasted awful, had thrown in some cola nut oil and a few other oils, mixing the mixture in a three-legged iron pot in his back yard and swishing it around with an oar.

He distributed it to soda fountains in used beer bottles, and Robinson, with his elegant account’s script, instantly designed a label, on which "Coca-Cola" was written in the style which is still employed. Pemberton looked upon his mixture less as a drink than as a headache cure.

One morning in 1886, a man suffering from a headache dragged himself into an Atlanta drugstore and asked for a bottle of Coca-Cola. According to usual practice, druggists should pour a teaspoonful of syrup into a glass of water, but at that time, the man on duty was too lazy to walk to the fresh-water tap. Instead, he mixed the syrup with some soda water, which was closer at hand. After drinking it, the suffering customer cheered up almost at once, and word quickly spread that the best Coca-Cola was a fizzy (冒泡泡的)one.

According to the passage, which of the following about Pemberton is wrong?

A. He was highly respected by Atlantans because of his great contribution. 

B. Medicines like Triplex Liver Pills and Globe of Flower Cough Syrup are his patent products.

C. During the Civil War, he was an officer of a cavalry troop, a chemist and a doctor.

D. Coca-Cola which is very popular now was invented by him.

Why do contemporary Coca-Cola officials especially like to mention the year 1886?

A. Because Conan Doyle contributed to Pemberton’s Coca-Cola invention.

B. Because France sent the Statue of Liberty to America and Pemberton loved it.

C. Because they are still proud of Pemberton’s invention.

D. Because Pemberton made more money for the company this year than in any other year.

What does the passage tell us about Frank M. Robinson?

A. He helped his boss and began making patent medicines together with his boss in 1869.

B. He had a special nose with an acute sense of smell and especially was good at drawing.

C. When he found the end product tasted awful, he threw in some cola nut oil and other oils.

D. He designed a label “Coca-Cola” for the Coca-Cola Company with his elegant handwriting.

How did Pemberton change French Wine Coca formula to make it taste delicious?

A. He mixed it with several oils instead of water.         

B. He put some beer into the mixture.

C. He added more coffee into the mixture than before.     

D. He added some cola nut oil and a few other oils.

According to the passage, what was Coca-Cola intended for at first?

A. It was intended for the children as a soft drink.  

B. It was intended for a substitute for French Wine Coca

C. It was intended for a cure for the common headache        

D. It was intended for the need of the war

第三部分 閱讀理解（共20小題，每小題2分，滿分40分）
For many people Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. One of the reasons people love it so much is that you get presents. But like presents, Christmas needs to be unwrapped so that you can understand the true meaning behind the day.
Many Chinese believe everyone in Western countries celebrate this holiday. That is not true. Christmas is an important religious holiday for Christians. December 25 represents the birthday of Jesus Christ, who Christians believe is the son of God.
Christianity (基督教) is a very popular religion in America and Europe. However, there are many other religions, too. People who celebrate those religions don’t celebrate Christmas. But during the winter season they usually have their own important holiday. That is why when talking to a foreigner it is safer to say, “ Happy holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas” because you never know his/her religious background.
The image of a fat, happy man in red---Santa Claus---has come to represent the idea of goodness and love instead of religious part or the “Christmas spirit”. Santa Claus is based on a man named Saint Nicholas who was a 4th century Greek Christian.
Saint Nicholas bought presents for children and gave them away anonymously(匿名地). This is where the idea of gift on Christmas began. But the Santa Claus didn’t exist until the 19th century when an American named Thomas Nast drew cartoons of him. So really, Santa has nothing to do with the religious holiday.
In fact, some people who celebrate Christmas don’t really care about Santa Claus.
Christmas is a special day for Christians but the ideas of being good and loving your neighbors are not limited to Christianity. So buy a gift for your friend, tell your mother you love her and have merry Christmas. I mean ,”Happy holidays!”
56. Christians believe December 25 represents the birthday of _________.
A. Santa Claus     B. God    C. Jesus Christ     D. Thomas Nast
57. In the passage, the author thinks __________.
A. Santa Claus was a real person in the past
B. everyone should believe in Christianity
C. all people in Western countries celebrate Christmas
D. Santa Claus has nothing to do with Christmas holiday
58. What is “the true meaning” in the first passage?
A. For many people Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year
B. The Westerners have different religious backgrounds
C. Some like to say “Merry Christmas”, and others like to say “Happy holidays”
D. Being good and loving our neighbors are the virtues of all humans
59. What is the CORRECT explanation of Santa Claus?
A. He was a Greek Christian in the 4th century
B. He was an American who was born in the 19th century
C. His image represents the “Christmas spirit”
D. He was a cartoon figure drawn by Thomas Nast

One evening a police officer was driving slowly along a road. He was off duty and was wearing plain clothes.

“Yes, yes,” the men answered, and quickly got into his car. “Please take us to the railway station,” they told him.
“Very good,” the police officer said and drove off. After a few minutes, one of the men cried out, “But this isn’t the way to the railway station.

The next moment, the police officer had pulled up at the police station. He jumped out, shouted for help, and seconds later the two thieves were arrested.

Upon waking up, Jim found himself lying on a stretch of sandy shore with his face half-buried in the sand.  He found, that his clothes had been almost torn apart.  His arms ached and his body was heavy like stone.  Before he could stand up, he was brought to his knees due to exhaustion.  As he lay on the sand, he began to study the environment for signs of human activities.  But there was nothing except for a few trees and some stones within eyesight.
He remembered how, a few hours before, he had still been struggling for survival in the vast South China Sea.  The boat that had carried his friends and him out to sea for a fun fishing trip had run into a terrible storm.  James, who was the captain of the boat, and had been at the wheel, lost control of the boat.  The boat moved from side to side in the storm.  Suddenly, it hit a sharp object, most probably a rock from the sea and was wrecked.
Jim could not remember how he had managed to drift onto land.  His friends were not in sight.  He was saddened by the fact that they might have all drowned.  Then he suddenly saw a thin column of smoke on the far side of a hill.  “Could it be a house?”  Jim asked himself.  Even if it wasn’t, it gave him some fresh hope of surviving the ordeal that he was going through.  He struggled on towards the place from where the smoke was rising.
Finally, he found himself at the top of the hill.  He saw a little green valley dotted with a few huts and trees in the sun.  His eyes were not playing tricks on him.  There was a village located at the bottom of the valley.  The sight gave him renewed hope.  He began to run toward the village with his last ounce of energy.
