完形填空（共20小題；每小題1.5分，滿分30分）
One morning I wasted nearly an hour watching a tiny ant carry a huge feather. Several times, it   36  several obstacles in its path. And after a brief pause it would make the necessary detour (繞道).   37  one point, the ant had to cross a crack(裂縫) about 10mm wide. After some   38   thoughts, the ant laid the feather over the crack, walked   39  it and picked the feather up on the other side, then continued on its way. I was   40  by the cleverness of this ant. It was only a small insect, lacking in   41  yet equipped with a brain to reason, explore, discover and overcome.   42   this ant, like the other two-legged creatures   43  on the earth, also shares human failings.
After some time the ant   44  reached its destination — a flower bed and a small hole that was the entrance to its   45  home. It was there that the ant met its   46   . How could that large feather possibly   47  such a small hole? Of course, it couldn’t. So the ant, after all this   48  and using great brightness, overcoming problems a1l along the way, just gave up the   49  and went home. The ant had not thought the problem through   50  it began its journey and in the end the feather was   51  more than a burden. Isn’t our   52  like that?
We worry about our families; we worry about the   53  of money; and we worry about all kinds of things. These are all burdens — the things we pick up along life’s path, and drag them around the obstacles and over the cracks that life will bring, only to   54  that at the destination they are   55  and we can’t take them with us.

Imagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear. Children know this very well. Fred Epstein ,in his book If I Make It to Five, tells a story he heard from one of friends about Tom, a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone. He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination.
Tom loved to pretend, and he particularly loved to play superheroes ,Dr. Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led.
The day before his third trip to the operating room, Tom was terribly afraid. ”Maybe I could go as Superman ,”he whispered to his mom. Hearing this, the mother hesitated for a while. She had avoided buying the expensive costume（戲裝），finally she agreed.
The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way. And Tom, with the strength of his fantasy, successfully made it through the operation.
The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only. We all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible, to go through those things that seem impossible, and to achieve what we never believed we could. Just as Dr. Epstein puts it ,”If you can dream it, you can do it”
It doesn‘t mean that you should dress as a superhero for your next job interview.

Li Denghai, with his muddy boots and tanned(曬黑的) face, may not look like he is one of China’s famous agricultural pioneers. But the 61-year-old man from Shandong Province has made scientific breakthroughs(突破), which made great contributions to China’s food security(安全). His main work has been in achieving the higher output of corn production.
Li, who holds the world record for the highest output of summer corn, once says, “Corn has a life; it sings and dances. If you listen clearly, it can speak to you.” He started his research in 1969 when he was 20 and just dropped out of a high school. He then read an article which pointed that corn output per mu in the USA was six times higher than that in China. He was shocked and set out to work on just a small piece of land round the clock to see if he could increase the output. He often went to the field with a flashlight late at night, if he had been away during the day. By careful nurturing (照料) he managed to double the output.
Li Denghai was awarded the “China Award for Significant Contribution to the Maize (玉米) Industry” in 2005, and the same year the company named after his own name came into the market on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Li, however, is never happier than when he is in the middle of his cornfields. “I can forget my tiredness when talking to my corns,” he says.
小題1:When Li Denghai began the study of corn,       .
A．he just graduated from an ordinary high school
B．he was shocked that the corn output in China was so low
C．he was only in his thirties
D．he wasn’t really fond of his work

A．he is not good at communicating with people
B．he is too tired to go to the corn fields
C．he talks to his corn when feeling lonely
D．he loves his career deeply

“Lizzie, there’s a letter for you!” Emily called up the stairs to her sister. Elizabeth looked down. “Is it from Harvard? They refused my application once.” Emily answered, “No, it’s from Yale.” Quickly, Elizabeth walked downstairs. She took the letter and opened it. “Rejected again,” Elizabeth said unhappily. “Who says women can’t be doctors?”
“They are fools not to accept you. You can’t let them stop you, Lizzie,” Emily said.
“I won’t. I’ll apply to (申請) Geneva Medical College,” Elizabeth told her sister. As it turned out, the professors at Geneva Medical College were not fools. They allowed Elizabeth Blackwell to study medicine.
In 1848, a year before Elizabeth would graduate, a typhoid epidemic (傷寒流行病) broke out in New York. Elizabeth wrote to Emily. “There’s an outbreak (爆發(fā)) of typhoid, and I am going to help. It is dangerous, so if I should not survive, please do me the honor of studying medicine yourself.”
Emily replied, “Encouraged by your dream and success, I have decided to study in medical school, as well.”
Having survived the disease, Elizabeth tried to set up a private medical practice. “I graduated first in my class but no one believes a woman can be a good doctor,” she said to Emily one day. “All I hear is that doctors should be men, while women should stay home to cook and clean.”
Emily said worriedly, “I will graduate in June with my medical degree. What shall we do?” Elizabeth thought for a while and replied, “There’s a big house in the poor part of our town. We can practice medicine there for people who couldn’t afford care.”
Soon with the help of some friends, Elizabeth and Emily bought the house and opened a hospital for poor women and children. “We’ll have an all-women staff (員工),” Elizabeth said. “And later, we’ll add a medical college for women!” Emily added. At last, Elizabeth realized her dream of being a doctor.
小題1:The underlined word “Rejected” in the first paragraph can be best replaced by _____.

A．excitedB．calmC．satisfiedD．a(chǎn)ngry

C．warn Emily the danger of typhoid epidemicD．tell Emily she would graduate from college

A．received strong support from her sister B．refused to go to study at Yale University

Confucius (551BC～479BC), a Chinese philosopher，one of the most influential men in the history of China. Confucius was born in a noble family in the state of Lu. However，his parents were poor. His father died when Confucius was only three  years old. In 527 BC he began his life as a teacher，usually traveling about and teaching the followers that were around him. Confucius worked as an official of the state of Lu. However，he soon left office to travel and teach. In 484 BC he returned to Lu，where he lived until his death.
Living in the turbulent(動蕩的)period，Confucius believed that people must go back to the principles of the ancient wise men. He therefore lectured to his pupils on the classics and taught them how to behave properly in society. Confucius did not write down the principles of his philosophy. The Analects (《論語》)，a work written by some of his followers，is considered the most faithful source of information about his life and teachings.
The teachings of Confucius were practical and moral，rather than religious. He said that man's behavior should be based on five virtues：kindness, uprightness(義)，decorum(禮)，wisdom and faithfulness(信)．He asked everyone to fulfill their duties carefully toward the state. In the centuries after his death，his teachings，known as Confucianism，had a more powerful influence on the Chinese nation.
小題1:At about what age did Confucius begin his teaching？______
A．51.B．27.C．48.D．24.
小題2:The Analects is________.
A．considered to have been written by Confucius
