Part Four: Writing
Section A (10 points)
Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage.
The art of growing dwarf （short） trees， or “bonsai” as their Japanese planters call them， is increasing in popularity in the United States. Growing bonsai can make a fascinating hobby for anyone who enjoys plants and creating beautiful effects with them. However， how can we meet the goal of making such a kind of art？ This maybe is the problem for many of us.
There are， in fact， four important guidelines to follow in growing bonsai. First， one must be careful in choosing the type of tree. Not all species of trees can be made into bonsai， since the growing conditions are unusual.
Second， one must be careful in choosing the size of the container the bonsai will be in. This is necessary because the major growth of bonsai is kept confined to the tree’s trunk and leaves， not its root system.
Another thing the bonsai-grower must do is to trim （修整） the roots and branches of the tree periodically （定期地）。 Unless this is done， the plants will look unnatural. The Japanese ideal for bonsai is not to have the proper proportions and will have trees which are just like normal trees in everything， but in small size.
The last thing one must do is to be careful to keep the miniature （small） tree well-watered， or it will die.
As one can see from above， the art of bonsai-growing is one which requires a certain amount of time and effort. The satisfactions that growing bonsai brings can be great， however. Imagine having such a tree in your living room and passing it down through several generations of your family. That is exactly what bonsai-growing is all about： establishing a tradition of beauty which lasts for years and years and is a symbol of the beauties of the natural world.

I made up my mind to drive to South Carolina to meet my friends in my used car. Though I had only been there once  36  and did not know the  37  very well, I was on the  38  after I had made some inquiries (詢問).
At Ashvelle, there was a crossroad where I could go on along the main road or I could take a short cut. The short cut was to  39  several hills and was dangerous, I hesitated (猶豫)for a little while and then chose the main road, for I wanted to be  40 .
Something strange happened after I drove a long  41  and found it was not the correct road that I wanted to  42 , but the hilly road I decided to avoid. I realized that it was at the  43  that I had made the  44  mistake. “What shall I do?” I asked myself. If I went back to take that road again, it would be very late by the time I got to Columbia. Thinking it  45 , I decided to go on. “If  46  people can go along this road, why can’t I?” I  47  myself
The short cut, to my surprise ,was not that  48 . In fact, it was only a very peaceful country road,  49  up and down two low  50 .There was  51  traffic. On both sides of the road, you could see trees, wild flowers, and  52  with cows and horses. My fear was  53  with the wind. Listening to the beautiful country music over my car stereo (立體聲), I drove on and  54  the scenery which was so quiet and so natural. Even my used car forgot to give me  55 . It was just in this light heartedness that I arrived at my destination. My friends, after they heard what had happened to me, all said it sounded like an adventure.

Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. When a person does a certain thing again, he is impelled(推進，敦促)  by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly; thus a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation (形成) of habits. Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by them..
There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help. Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and thoroughness(周詳).
Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. These are all easily formed habits. Unfortunately older persons form habits which ought to have been avoided.
We ought to keep from all these old habits, and try to form such habits as will prove good for ourselves and others.
小題1:Habits, whether good or bad, are formed_______, _______ everyone knows.
A．day by day; and
B．gradually; as
C．gradually; that
D．century after century; as
小題2:Why should we pay much attention to the formation of habits?
A．Because habits are of great help to every one of us.
B．Because a man can never get rid of a habit.
C．It is because we are forced to do them again and again.
D．It is because it’s hard and even not possible to smooth them away
小題3:The bad habits formed by __________
A．children sometimes stay in all their lives
B．older people sometimes can kill them
C．persons sometimes can remain with them
D．younger people sometimes can break them

As I had my first child, I promised myself never to be a pushy parent. I was going to be a very 36 and understanding mother.
Five years later my little boy was about to 37 for his yellow belt in karate(空手道). As a five-year-old child, he wasn’t taking it  38  , because it was Mom trying to help him. I found myself yelling and telling him he would never get the belt acting like that. I was trying to   39  him his back-flip（背摔）. He continued to play and I continued to   40 . Finally I had made him feel like he couldn’t  41 anything, just as I promised myself I wouldn’t do.
Still mad and stubborn I couldn’t  42 . I had to teach him his flip. He was doing fine with it by the time we had to leave to go to karate. While taking the test, he did  43 . His instructor would ask him to do something, and it became  44 for him. He never asked him to do the back-flip. He had passed his yellow belt test.
We got in the car to  45 when he looked at me and said ”Mom, why did you make me do that back-flip so many times,  46  it wasn’t even on the test.” The words wouldn’t have  47 anything to anyone else, but it was a slap in my face. That night while  48 in bed, I told him I loved him.
He was  49 and didn’t say anything, just giggled. I said “I really do love you baby.” I was still feeling  50 , and also wondering if he had  51 me. Finally he replied in the  52 voice, “I know you do, but I love you more.”
He had forgiven me and I had decided that his feeling were more  53 than any test he would  54 take. I made a new  55 to be better mother and to accept that he was only a child.

It was a beautiful day at the beach—blue sky, gentle wind, calm sea．I knew these things because a man sitting five feet from me was shouting them into his mobile phone, like a play-by-play announcer （實況解說員）.
“IT’S A BEAUTIFUL DAY,” he shouted．“THE SKY IS BLUE, AND THERE’S A GENTLE WIND, AND THE WATER IS CALM, AND…”
Behind me, a woman, her mobile phone pressed to her ear was walking back and forth.
“She DIDN’T,” she was saying．“No．She DIDN’T．She DID? Really? Are you SERIOUS? She did NOT．She DID? No she…”
And so on．This woman had two children, who were playing in the sea．I found myself watching them, because the woman surely was not．A huge squid could have caught and snatched the children, and this woman would not have noticed．Or, if she had noticed, she’d have said, “Listen．I have to go, because a huge squid just……No! She didn’t ! She DID? No! She……”
And next to me, the play-by-play man would have said: “…AND A HUGE SQUID JUST ATE TWO CHILDREN, AND I’M GETTING A LITTLE SUNBURNED, AND …”
It used to be that the major trouble at the beach was the fellow who brought a boom box （便攜式錄音機） and turned it up so loud that the bass notes caused seagulls to explode．But at least you knew where these fellows were; you never know which beachgoers have mobile phones．You’ll settle next to what appears to be a sleeping sunbather, or even （you hope） a corpse , and you’ll lie happily on your towel, and you’ll get all the way to the second sentence of your 467-page book before you fall asleep to the hypnotic surge of the surf （催人入夢的潮聲）, and …
BREEP! BREEP! The corpse sits up, feels urgently for its mobile phone, and shouts “Hello! I’m at the beach! Yes! It’s nice! Very peaceful! What? She did? No, she didn’t! She DID? No, she…”
Loud mobile-phoners never seem to get urgent calls．Just once, I’d like to hear one of them say, “Hello? Yes, this is Dr．Johnson．Oh, Dr．Smith．You’ve opened the abdominal cavity （腹腔）? Good! Now the appendix should be right under the … What? No, that’s the liver．Don’t take THAT out, ha ha! Oh, you did? My God! OK, now listen carefully…”
小題1:From the passage we can know that the writer of the passage _____.
A．had a wonderful holiday at the beach
B．must have suffered a lot because of the terrible weather
C．is only interested in talks by doctors about operation
D．experienced an unhappy holiday at the beach
小題2:According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A．The writer often spends his holidays at the beach.
B．A huge squid ate two children while their mother was not watching.
C．Some people used to play boom box while spending their holidays at the beach.
D．Some people often make loud mobile phone calls without caring for others.
小題3:The underlined word“ corpse”in this passage has the closest meaning to________.
A．a(chǎn) dead bodyB．a(chǎn) loud mobile phone
C．a(chǎn) sound sleeperD．a(chǎn) sleep lover
小題4:In the past the fellow who brought a boom box_________.
A．turned it up to make the seagulls happy
B．turned it up to cause the seagulls to explode
C．might cause less trouble than the beachgoers with mobile phones
D．might cause more trouble than the beachgoers with mobile phones
小題5:We can infer from the passage that _______.
A．the writer is interested in mobile phone.
B．the writer hates people using mobile phone
C．the writer hates to be disturbed while enjoying holidays on the beach.
D．the writer seldom finishes reading a book before going to sleep.

It was a party. I was 18 and it was fresher(大一新生) week. I was at the beginning of a course in English Literature and full of enthusiasm for my subject. She was also 18 and enrolled in a course in physics.
“Your major is of no use to society. What will you do with it when you graduate, other than teach? Plus, you’re going to be poor your whole life,” she said. “You have no soul and your degree is boring. I don’t care how much money you’re going to earn. I’d rather be poor and don’t mind being a teacher. If I love my work I’ll have something far more meaningful than a big bank account!” came the reply.
And so it went, back and forth, neither of us giving the other an inch, each of us stubbornly committed to our prejudice. We were both ignorant, but our ignorance was also society’s ignorance. It had always been that way. Scientists mocked(嘲笑) humanists; humanists laughed at scientists. Back in the 1960s, the physicist-turned novelist C. P. Snow labeled the sciences-humanities divide “a problem of ‘the two cultures’” . He said it was bad for society. The modern world needed well-rounded people.
I think I know better now, but it would have helped if we had been encouraged to think a little more outside our science and arts “boxes”.
That’s why I believe it is healthy that China is beginning a debate on whether it’s wise for young people to have to choose which direction their careers – and lives – will take at such an early age. At the moment, in their second year of high school, students must choose either the sciences or the humanities. After making the choice, they focus their energies on passing the appropriate college entrance exam.
But now, people in China are asking: Is this forced, early decision good for young people or society? Young people need time to explore, to discover where their real talents and interests lie. There are more than just a few middle-aged people out there, stuck in jobs they hate because they made the wrong choice at the wrong time.
And from the point of view of society, isn’t it better for students to delay a while before they decide what to study? Scientists can benefit from learning to develop the critical skills associated with the humanities; students in the humanities, surely, only stand to gain by finding out a little more about science and technology, which are so important to the future of a developing country like China.
With any luck, in the future young people fresh to college will be better informed about the possibilities of education than people of my generation.
小題1:The author describes what happened at a fresher party to ________.
A．show that he was ready to defend the subject he enjoyed
B．lead up his argument that the sciences-humanities divide is harmful
C．prove that doing something meaningful is better than having a lot of money
D．describe how fierce students of different majors can be when arguing with each other
小題2:What was C. P. Snow’s attitude towards the sciences-humanities divide?
A. Indifferent.         B. Uncertain.        C. Positive.          D. Negative.
小題3:In the sixth paragraph, an example mentioning middle-aged people is used to show that ________.
A．students should not make decisions too early
B．not all people have a talent for or are interested in the sciences
C．these people did not have the chance to make a choice earlier in life
D．the earlier young people make a decision, the better it will be for them
小題4:According to the text, it is safe to say that ________.
A. sciences are more practical in the modern world
B. C. P. Snow was a novelist who became a physicist
C. future generations will be able to get more out of education
D. a command of both the sciences and humanities is important to society
小題5:What’s the best title for the article?
A．The sciences or the humanities, which to choose?
B．High school education in China
C．Isn’t it better to delay the choice of the career direction?
D．A better time to decide what to study

Sitting is art that isn’t getting passed along. People these days feel as though they have to be doing something. If they are not working, they are jogging, or playing tennis or golf, or taking courses to improve their minds or bodies –or they are parked in front of the TV. Sitting in front of the TV isn’t sitting – it’s watching.
People used to sit a lot. You would walk down the street or drive down the road, and there they would be, out on the doorsteps, sitting. You could go down to the store and sit on the bench out front in the summer or around the fire in the winter. There were sitting benches out in the town square. At the garage, there were straight-backed chairs. There among the oilcans and tries and spare parts, you could kick back and sit.
Houses used to have sitting rooms, where the grown ups would go after Sunday dinner. Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Aunt Ruby would sit and digest (消化) the fried chicken and talk about Aunt Ethel’s illness, and how well the minister did today. Outside, the children would play, and the afternoon would pass by in a comfortable haze (悠閑的氛圍).
That sort of thing looks like doing nothing. A recharging battery (正在充電的電池) doesn’t look as if it’s doing anything either. Sitting restores your soul if you want to enjoy a truly full life, don’t just do something –sit there.
小題1:What message does the author try to get through to us ?
A．People should make better use of their sitting room.
B．People should spend less time watching TV.
C．People should pass down their good habits.
D．People should take things easy for their own good.
小題2:We can learn from the second paragraph that  _____________
A．people lived a more restful life in the past
B．towns were built to make living convenient
C．small town garages had a lot to offer
D．people enjoyed going out for a drive

小題4: From the text we know the writer believes_______________
A．sitting has a good spiritual effectB．sitting helps people remember the past

Friendship is unconditional and uncritical, based only on mutual respect and the ability to enjoy each other's company. These authority figures never saw the way one of us could do something outrageous（令人不可容忍的）, and the rest of us would joke about it for days. We could have fun doing absolutely nothing at all—because the ____ 21____ we provided each other with was enough. Rather than discussing operas, Lewinsky, or the weather, we enjoyed just ____22____ each other without any one of us trying to outsmart the others. Still, I realize that these adults had a____23____ to be concerned about the direction my friends were____24____; I also was concerned for them, but I wasn't about to ____25____ them.
Many times I would advise my friends that some activity may be ____26____ or to think things through before doing something, but I would never claim to hold the moral high ground and to condescend(屈尊) to them. When Marvin would begin rolling joints, when Alisa would tell me she skipped school because of a hangover, or when Merriam would tell me that her new boyfriend was in a street gang, I expressed my discomfort with their ____27____. However, I never ____28____ them with the threat of taking my friendship away. Contrary to the commercials on television, you can have ____29____ who use drugs. In fact, probably everyone does without ____30____ it.
