Today, people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big, noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural (鄉(xiāng)下的) areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years.
In many countries, the main reason people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a residential area nearby, too. The families of these workers need schools, hospitals and shops, so many people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.
In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city center downtown. It is here that you can see many huge skyscrapers (摩天大樓) and office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the city center. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.
But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger and bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages.
小題1:The underlined phrase “a residential area” means an area ________.
A．where people can buy things
B．which is near a city center
C．where people can do business
D．which is suitable for living in
小題2:Why do people move to live in cities or towns?
A．Because they can live more comfortably there.
B．Because they mainly want to find work there.
C．Because they are sure of having a better life there.
D．Because they like noisy life better than peaceful life.
小題3:What can we know about the business district?
A．Big companies usually have their main offices in the business district.
B．People usually work and live in the skyscrapers in the cities.
C．A business district usually lies not far away from the city center downtown.
D．It’s reasonable for a business district without a park for children to play in.
小題4:We can infer that this movement from rural to urban areas ________.
A．has been going on for more than 2,000 years
B．will surely continue in the future
C．may not continue in the future
D．has now stopped already

Until the 1980s, the American homeless population comprised (組成) mainly older males. Today, homelessness strikes much younger part of society. In fact, a 25-city survey by the U. S. Conference of Mayors in 1987 found that families with children make up the fastest growing part of the homeless population. Many homeless children gather in inner cities; this transient(變化無常的) and frequently frightened student population creates additional problems — both legal and educational — for already overburdened（負擔過重的）urban school administrators and teachers.
Estimates of the number of homeless Americans range from 350,000 to three million. Likewise, estimates of the number of homeless school children vary radically. A U.S. Department of Education report, based on state estimates, states that there are 220,000 homeless school-age children, about a third of whom do not attend school on a regular basis, But the National Coalition for the Homeless estimates that there are at least two times as many homeless children, and that less than half of them attend school regularly.
One part of the homeless population that is particularly difficult to count consists of the “throwaway” youths who have been cast of their homes. The Elementary School Center in New York City estimates that there are 1.5 million of them, many of whom are not counted as children because they do not stay in family shelters and tend to live by themselves on the streets.
Federal law, the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act of 1987, includes a section that addresses the educational needs of homeless children. The educational provisions of the McKinney Act are based on the belief that all homeless children have the right to a free, appropriate education.
小題1: It is implied in the first paragraph that ____.
A．the writer himself is homeless, even in his eighties
B．many older homeless residents are going on strike in 25 cities
C．there is a serious shortage of academic facilities (設施).
D．homeless children are denied the opportunity of receiving free education
小題2: The National Coalition for the homeless believes that the number of homeless children is _____.
A．350,000
B．1,500,000
C．440,000
D．110,000
小題3:  One part of the homeless population is difficult to estimate. The reason might well be ____.
A．the homeless children are too young to be counted as children
B．the homeless population is growing rapidly
C．the homeless children usually stay outside school
D．some homeless children are deserted by their families
小題4: The McKinney Act is mentioned in this passage in order to show that ___.
A．the educational problems of homeless children are being recognized
B．the estimates on homeless children are hard to determine
C．the address of grade-school children should be located
D．a(chǎn)ll homeless people are entitled（有權(quán)利的） to free education
小題5: The passage mainly deals with ____.
A．the legal problems of the homeless children
B．the educational problems of homeless children
C．the social status of older males
D．estimates on the homeless population

A recent Living Social survey showed that Americans may live up to their poor reputation while travelling abroad. But what’s more surprising is that many of those surveyed self-identified themselves as ‘ugly’ Americans and the world’s worst travelers.
Those in the U.S. ranked themselves as the worst travellers by a shocking 20 per cent, followed by 15 per cent saying the Chinese were the most substandard tourists.
Americans topped the list as being the worst-behaved travelers in a survey of 5,600 respondents, 4,000 of whom were Americans. Other respondents were in Australia, Canada, Ireland and the United Kingdom. But even American respondents considered their compatriots(同胞) as the worst travelers from a list of 16 nationalities.
Canadians and Australians also put Americans in the No. 1 spot. Irish respondents pointed to U.K. residents and U.K. respondents gave Germans the nod. On the other hand, 37% of Americans opted for "none of the above" in answer to the worst-tourists question, displaying more tolerance and open-mindedness than the other nationalities.
Other survey questions had respondents admitting pilfering from hotels. Four in ten U.S. survey-takers said they’d stolen something – mostly towels (28%) and bathrobes (8%). Other popular pinched items included pillows, remote controls, Bibles and sheets.
Not surprising is that Americans have less time off from work than other nationalities. Americans reported getting 16 days off, compared with 28 days for the Irish, 27 days for Australians, 23 days for U.K. workers; and 21 days for Canadians.
In the travel mishaps department, the most common travel disaster reported by Americans was lost luggage on an airline (21%)； bad weather (21%)； and getting very lost (16%).
As for places Americans most want to see, Disney World and Las Vegas made the top 10, but they weren't at the top of the heap. And New York didn't make the cut.
小題1:What percentage of American respondents is in the survey?
A．20 % B．15% C．71% D．37%
小題2:The underlined word “pilfering” in Para. 5 most probably means ________.
A．takingB．bringingC．stealingD．borrowing.
小題3:According to the survey, what kind of things are most taken away by Americans?
A．towels and pillows
B．bathrobes and remote controls.
C．towels and Bibles
D．bathrobes and towels.
小題4:What’s the best title of this passage?
A．Chinese were announced as the world’s worst travellers.
B．The global worst travellers were announced.
C．Disney World is the best destination to Americans.
D．European travellers were the best in the world

閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。
When we walk through the city, we all experience a kind of information overload but we pay attention only to those that are important to us. We don’t stop, we keep our faces expressionless and eyes straight ahead, and in doing so, we are not just protecting ourselves but are avoiding overloading other people as well.
We make use of stereotypes as convenient ways to make quick judgments about situations and people around us. They may not always be accurate, and they can often be dangerously wrong, but they are used regularly.
The problem with the stereotypes is that they restrict experience. By using limited clues to provide us with a rapid opinion of other people or places we may choose to limit our communication. We may decide not to go to certain places because we believe they will not offer something we enjoy.
In the city, styles of dress are particularly important with regard to self-presentation. Different groups often use clearly identifiable styles of clothes so that they can be easily recognized. It is becoming increasingly common for brand names to be placed on the outside of clothes, and this labeling makes it easy to send out information about fashion and price instantly, and lets other tell at a distance whether an individual has similar tastes and is a suitable person to associate with.
In England, where social grouping or class continues to make social distinctions, clothes, hairstyles, people’s pronunciation and the manner of speaking are all clues to our social group. Class distinctions tend to be relatively fixed, although in the city where greater variety is permitted, they are more likely to be secondary determining factors of friendship and association.
小題1:People walking in cities ignore the surroundings because _________________.
A．they do not wish to talk to other people
B．everyone else is expressionless
C．the environment is already familiar to them
D．there is too much information to get
小題2:According to the passage, the main disadvantage of using stereotypes is that they _________.
A．a(chǎn)re likely to lead us into dangerous situations
B．may make us miss some pleasant experience
C．can rarely be relied on
D．make us mentally lazy
小題3:From the passage we may conclude that _____________.
A．stereotypes can help to understand people fully
B．people are becoming more interested in fashion
C．dressing can send messages about individuals
D．stereotypes can do more harm than good to people
小題4:It would appear that in England, a person’s class ____________.
A．might be less important in making friends in a city
B．is mainly determined by his pronunciation
C．plays less of a role than it did in the past
D．is something that can be changed easily

As the Internet’s influence grows, the potential for danger also escalates (逐步上升). One of these dangers is from cyber-bullying. Cyber-bullying (網(wǎng)絡欺凌) is repeatedly hurting someone else through the use of technology. It consists of sending or posting cruel messages, photos, or videos on the Internet or other electronic media with the intent of damaging the reputation of the target. Imagine being a 13-year-old girl discovering a cell phone picture of her changing clothes for gym class has been sent to all her classmates. Or imagine being an 11-year-old boy who is scared to go to school because an unknown bully sent him an instant message saying that he is so fat that he should kill himself. Cases such as these are happening every day, leading kids to be depressed and unable to concentrate.
Worse yet, parents are oblivious (忽視的) to what is happening. Only 15 percent of parents even know what cyber-bullying is. And anyone who thinks that their child is not a victim or a bully is probably wrong. 90 percent of middle school students have had their feelings hurt online and 75 percent have admitted to visiting a website attacking another student.
Unlike traditional schoolyard bullying, where a bully has a name and a face, cyber-bullying gets much of its power from anonymity (匿名). A cyber bully might design a website posting cruel remarks about a classmate and never tell anyone that he or she was the creator. The cyber-bullying also gets its power from the scope (范圍) of its audience. Within seconds, a cyber bully can send an e-mail to everyone he or she knows, inviting them to take part in an online poll (民意測驗) of who is the ugliest kid in their class. Victims can be picked on day and night from any place.
The good news is that you can help stop cyber-bullying. By making parents and educators aware of what is going on and encouraging them to take quick and strong action when cyber-bullying cases happen, you can help make technology constructive, not destructive, for young people.
小題1:What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A．Not many students have known of cyber-bullying.
B．Parents may not know their child is a victim of cyber-bullying.
C．Parents know a lot of cyber-bullying.
D．Most of the students have not been hurt by cyber-bullying.
小題2:What does the author think of the cyber-bullying?
A．It is not as harmful as people think.
B．It is too complex a problem to settle.
C．It will not affect the relationship between classmates.
D．It can be stopped through our efforts.
小題3:What will probably be discussed in the following passage?
A．How to prevent cyber-bullying.
B．What parents and educators think of cyber-bullying.
C．How to make parents aware of cyber-bullying.
D．How to make good use of technology.

Many reasons can explain why football is so popular. All around the world, millions play the sport and many more like to watch it. Some would say that the simplicity of the game is the main reason for its popularity, but that can’t be true as, this way, marathons or races would be the most popular sports in the world. In fact, the most popular sport in the world is football.
The main reason for the popularity of any sport is the room for creativity inside the sport. Football has plenty of room for creativity as it enables players to use their bodies in unique ways to get hold of the ball and score while at the same time keeping the other team from scoring. In addition to this, the rules ensure that the game is clean and fair, thus encouraging new players to play it.
Another reason is that this game doesn’t require expensive equipment. All the kids in poor developing countries like playing it as all they need to play it is a ball and an empty playground, and that would ensure a quality time for a group of kids who want to enjoy their time. The Federation International de Football Association (FTFA) knows this fact and is always trying to keep the rules and regulations applicable for poorer countries.
For fans of the sport, it is very entertaining to watch the skills and talents of the players in professional matches. The outcome of a match can easily change in the dying moments of a game. Some matches are even better than watching a thriller, because you really have no idea what the result of the match will be.
小題1:From the first paragraph, we know that marathons and races _______.
A．a(chǎn)re sports that are as simple as football
B．a(chǎn)re sports that are simpler than football

D．a(chǎn)re the most popular sports in the world
小題2:We can learn from the text that _____.
A．football is popular mainly because of its simplicity
B．the rules of football make the game safe and simple
C．football gives players room for creativity
D．playing football can help poor kids earn money
小題3:This fact in the third paragraph refers to ______.
A．kids need balls and empty playground to play in
B．the equipment in developing countries is very cheap
C．kids in developing countries enjoy playing football
D．kids in developing countries don’t keep football rules

Many psychologists in the early twentieth century believed that humans use only 10 percent of their brains, and even the great Albert Einstein once wrote that most people use only a small portion of the grey matter between their ears. It’s a theory that has often been put forward in television documentaries; magazines, advertisements and books over the past century.
But nearly all scientists now agree the 10 percent theory is completely unfounded. In fact, they question how this figure was ever arrived at in the first place and what areas of the brain are supposed to be unneeded. The theory supposes that if 90 percent of the brain were removed, a person would Still be able to function normally, while in reality it is known that damage to even a small area of the brain can result in extremely serious physical injury different activities and that many areas of the brain are used at the same time for some complex activities or thought processes.
Throughout the course of one day, most .areas of the brain are active at some time, even during sleep. The 10 percent theory suggests that certain areas o’ the brain are not used, but scans slow activities throughout the entire brain and not in any separate part. The final argument against the 10 percent theory is the fact that doctors carefully map the brain before removing brain cancers so that they don’t affect other essential areas.
From an evolutionary point of view, it’s highly unlikely butt our comparatively larger brains would have evolved from our ancestors if the extra areas were not needed. In fact, there is absolutely no evidence support the 10 percent theory.
小題1:How did the 10 percent theory get such widespread popularity?
A．It was promoted in various types of copular media.

A．We use less than 10% of our brains.
B．Most brain disorders affect the same part of the brain.
C．The brain is less active during times of sleep.
D．The 10 percent theory does not make evolutionary sense.
小題4:What can we infer from the passage?
A．People today use more of their brain than in the past.
B．Scientific opinion about the topic of brain use is equally divided.
C．Our understanding of the brain has changed greatly in the past decades.
D．Modern scientists have a complete picture of how the brain works.

About 21,000 young people in 17 American states do not go to classes in school buildings. Instead, they receive their school education by working at home on computers. The Center for Education Reform says the United States has 67 public “cyberschools,” and that is about twice as many as two years ago.
The money for students to go to a cyberschool comes from the governments of the states where they live. Some educators say cyberschools receive money that should support traditional public schools. They also say it is difficult to know if students are learning well.
Other educators praise this new form of education for letting students work at their own speed. These people say cyberschools help students who were unhappy or unsuccessful in traditional schools. They say learning at home by computer ends long bus rides for children who live far from school.
Whatever the judgment of cyberschools, they are getting more and more popular. For example, a new cybershool called Common-wealth Connections Academy will take in students this fall. It will serve children in the state of Pennsylvania from ages five through thirteen.
Children get free equipment for their online education. This includes a computer, a printer, books and technical(技術(shù)的) services. Parents and students talk with teachers by telephone or by sending emails through their computer when necessary.
Students at cyberschools usually do not know one another. But 56 such students who finished studies at Western Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School recently met for the first time. They were guests honor at their graduation.
小題1:What do we know from the text about students of a cyberschool?
A．They have to take long bus rides to school.
B．They study at home rather than in classrooms.
C．They receive money from traditional public schools.
D．They do well in traditional school program.
小題2:What is a problem with cyberschools?
A．Their equipment costs a lot of money.
B．They get little support from the state government.
C．It is hard to know students’ progress in learning.
D．The students find it hard to make friends.
小題3:Cyberschools are getting popular because ________.
A．they are less expensive for students
B．their students can work at their own speed
C．their graduates are more successful in society
D．they serve students in a wider age range(范圍)
小題4:We can infer that the author of the text is ________.
A．unprejudiced(無偏見的) in his description(描述) of cyberschools
B．excited about the future of cyberschools
C．doubtful about the quality of cyberschools
D．disappointed at the development of cyberschools
