A few years ago, when I was still in high school, I met a wonderful and warm teacher. At that time in my life, there were many changes to adjust to, apart from the usual teenage troubles. My parents had divorced, so my elder brother and I had chosen to stay with my dad. Due to the fact that he was keeping the house, we didn’t have to move.
During this time, my teacher took a special interest in me. Being my English teacher, she encouraged my mind to travel to creativity I had long given up. She brought me out of the shell I built.
She became my mother, my older sister, my friend and my teacher. The one thing she couldn’t do though was to make me more girly as growing up with only my dad and brother made me a real tomboy.
Sometimes, I would be really immature（不成熟的）, especially if she was scoring me less than others on purpose. She knew I could do better than what I was handing in and so pushed me to extend further than limits.
When I finished school and then after college I was about to leave my hometowns she gifted me a watch that every second, with my pulse, should remind me of the one person who will forever wait and love me without reservation.
Time has passed and our friendship is distant, but in my heart, soul and mind, she is the closest I ever got.
小題1:The writer and her elder brother chose to live with their father simply because _________.
A．their mother was expecting to have another baby
B．they didn’t have to move out of their house
C．they hated their mother remarried
D．they had a closer relationship with their father
小題2:How did the writer get along with her studies before she met her English teacher?
A．She was hopeless and had given up her studies.
B．She was getting along well with her studies.
C．She had some trouble with her studies.
D．She lacked interest in creativity.
小題3:The writer behaved herself like a boy because ________.
A．she needed the love of mother
B．she wanted to learn from her father and brother
C．she lived with only men all the time
D．her English teacher didn’t care about her
小題4: What was the writer’s attitude to the watch given by the teacher?
A．She considered it to be very useful.
B．She valued it very much.
C．She kept it very well.
D．She wanted to do something later in return for it.

小題1:C
小題1:B

文章大意：我永遠都不會忘卻那位亦母、亦姐、亦友、亦師的中學老師，是她幫我度過了父母離異后的那段艱難時光。
小題1:B 細節(jié)理解題。由文中第一段最后一句“Due to the fact that he was keeping the house we didn’t have to move.”可知作者和哥哥選擇與父親同住是因為父母離異后，父親擁有房子，他們不必搬家。
小題1:D 細節(jié)理解題。由第二段第二句“Being my English teacher she encouraged my mind to travel to creativity I had long given up.”可知，我早已放棄了這種創(chuàng)造性思維，換言之，就是在遇到這位老師之前她缺乏對創(chuàng)造性思維的興趣。
小題1:C 細節(jié)理解題。由第三段最后一句中的 as 從句可知，我之所以行為如同男孩兒，是因為我總是和父親、哥哥一起生活。
小題1:B 推理判斷題。由文章倒數(shù)第二段中的“she gifted me a watch that every second... without reservation.”可知，這塊表能時刻提醒我記起那位永遠等待且毫無保留地愛我的恩師，說明我是非常珍惜這塊表的。

Sydney – A shark savaged a schoolboy’s leg while he was surfing with his father at a beach in Sydney on February 23．it was the third shark attack along the coast of Australia’s largest city in a month．
The 15 – year – old boy and his father were in the water off Avalon, on Sydney’s northern beaches, around dawn when he was attacked．The city’s beaches are packed with locals and tourists during the summer months．
“The father heard a scream and turned to see his son trashing （扭動） about in the water,” police said．“Fortunately, the shark swam away and the boy was helped to shore by his father．”
Lifesaving Club spokesman Nick Miller: “It got him around the top of his left leg and the father came and dragged him out of water．” He said the boy was bleeding heavily when he was brought to shore．“There was a lot of pain, as you can imagine”．The teenager was airlifted to hospital for treatment for leg injuries．
Police said the bites “cut through to the bone”, but the boy did not appear to have sustained any fractures （骨折）．He was in a stable condition now．
Several beaches were closed after the attack．Water police and lifeguards were searching for the shark, while police hoped to identify its species by the shape of the bite marks．But they said it was too early to say what type of shark attacked the boy．“I don’t even know if he saw it,” Miller said．
Many shark species live in the waters off Sydney’s beaches, but attacks on humans are still relatively rare．However, there were two attacks on successive days earlier this month, one on a navy diver in Sydney harbor, not far from the famous Opera House, and the other on a surfer at the city’s world – famous Bondi beach．
Fishermen say shark numbers are on the rise．There is a ban on commercial fishing in the harbor, which has increased fish stocks．Marine experts also claim environmental protection has created a cleaner environment, attracting sharks closer to shore as they chase fish．Many shark species, including the Great White – the man – eater made famous in Steven Spielberg’s Jaws – are protected in Australian waters．
小題1:The report mainly tells us         ．
A．shark attacks on humans are on the rise

A．It is one of the largest cities in Australia．
B．Sydney harbor is not far from the famous Opera House．
C．There are many locals and tourists on its coast all year round．

Crossing Texas and Mexico, the Big Bend region is high in biodiversity(生物的多樣性). It’s a place so untamed that if something doesn’t bite, stick, or sting, it’s probably a rock.
You know you have arrived in the heart of the Chihuahuan Desert when it feels as if you have fallen off the edge of the earth and into the rabbit hole. Nothing is as it appears. Moths (蛀蟲) are the size of birds. Are those twin pillars (柱) of black rock (a landmark known as Mule Ear Peaks) ten miles (16 kilometers) away or fifty (80 kilometers)? Visibility (能見度) reaches more than a hundred miles on a clear day, and since there are few roads or buildings to use as milestones, distance is difficult to judge.
This is a place where water runs uphill, where rainbows have to wait for rain. The line between myth (虛構(gòu)的故事) and reality is unclear. Stare long enough at the Chisos Mountains or the Sierra del Carmen, the two mountain ranges, known as sky islands, which lie on the land, and they rise and float above the plain.
The vast Chihuahuan Desert is a land of no people. There is always the chance you’ll die of thirst. The “You Can Die”possibilities are endless, and keep some visitors — 350,000 a year to Big Bend National Park, built in 1944 — from coming back. Those who do return are left to think of the remarkable courage of the brave few who have managed to survive in this terrible environment.
小題1:The underlined word“untamed”in Paragraph 1 means“________”.
A．untouchedB．wildC．unchangedD．fresh
小題2:Why do the twin pillars of black rock seem ten or fifty miles away?
A．They were put so far away.
B．They lie across the Chihuahuan Desert.
C．It is difficult to judge the distance, with few milestones.
D．One lies in the Chisos Mountains, the other in the Sierra del Carmen.
小題3:How many years are there since the Big Bend National Park was built?
A．350,000 years.B．350 years.C．66 years.D．44 years.
小題4:What is the passage mainly about?
A．The natural wonders of the Chihuahuan Desert.
B．Everything you see is not what it seems in the Chihuahuan Desert.
C．The terrible environment of deserts in Texas and Mexico.
D．A special place where none who go can return.
小題5:What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．There are all kinds of living things in the Chihuahuan Desert.
B．No people live in the Big Bend region.
C．Nothing is as it appears in the Big Bend region.
D．Traveling in the Big Bend region is dangerous.

Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, “If I were any better, I’d be twins!” He was a natural motivator.
One day I went up to Michael and asked him, “I don’t get it. You can’t be positive all the time. How do you do it?”
Michael replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself ‘Mike, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or a bad mood.’ I choose the first. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.” Michael continued, “Life is all about choices. The bottom line is: It’s your choice how you live life.”
Several years later, Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling off 60 feet from a communications tower. I saw him about six months after the accident. I asked him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.
He said, “I first thought of my soon-to-born daughter and then remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die. I chose to live. I knew I needed to take action. So when a nurse kept shouting questions at me asking if I was allergic to anything, I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Gravity’. Over their laughter, I told them, ‘I’m choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead’.”
Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude.

Cole Bettles had been rejected by a number of universities when he received an e-mail from the University of California, San Diego, last month, congratulating him on his admission and inviting him to tour the campus. His mother booked a hotel in San Diego, and the 18-year-old Ojai high school senior arranged for his grandfather, uncle and other family members to meet them at the campus for lunch during the Saturday tour.
“They were like ‘Oh my God, that’s so awesome （棒的）’， ” Bettles said. Right before he got in bed, he checked his e-mail one last time and found another message saying the school had made a mistake and his application had been denied.
In fact, all 28, 000 students turned away from UC San Diego, in one of the toughest college entrance seasons on record, had received the same incorrect message. The students’ hopes had been raised and then dashed （破滅） in a cruel twist that shows the danger of instant communications in the Internet age.
UCSD admissions director Mae Brown called it an “administrative error” but refused to say who had made the mistake, or if those responsible would be disciplined （受訓）。
The e-mail, which began, “We’re thrilled that you’ve been admitted to UC San Diego, and we’re showcasing （展示） our beautiful campus on Admit Day, ” was sent to the full 46, 000 students who had applied, instead of just the 18, 000 who got in, Brown said.
The error was discovered almost immediately by her staff, who sent an apology within hours.
“It was really thrilling for a few hours; now he’s crushed （壓垮）， ” said Cole’s mother, Tracy Bettles. “It’s really tough on them.”
The admissions director said she was in the office on Monday until midnight answering e-mails and phone calls from disappointed students and their parents. She said she took full responsibility for the error. “We accessed the wrong database. We recognize the incredible pain receiving this false encouragement caused. It was not our intent.”
