【題目】A
●NATURAL BEAUTY: OUR ENVIRONMENT
Anne Bowen, an art teacher, always emphasized environmental themes in her classes. She channels her concern for the environment into her artwork, which you can see in her ＂Our Environment＂ exhibition, at the Carrollwood Cultural Center in Tampa. Bowen uses mixed media (pen and ink, colored pencils and paint) to describe nature, using patterns that echo the symmetry(對稱) found there. She’s also interested in the ways animals live together in groups, which she explores in her piece Monarch Butterflies(pictured). She hopes her art inspires viewers to come up with solutions to environmental problems. Bowen’s commitment to environmental preservation isn’t just lip service; she’ll donate half of her sales profits to the Sierra Club. In addition to ＂Our Environment＂, members of the Exhibiting Society of Artists have an exhibition in the gallery. The opening reception for both shows is 5—8 p.m. Friday. 4537 Lowell Road. (813) 269-1310.
●ABSTRACTIONS: UNFURLED
Local artist Dominique Martinez, the creative force behind Rustic Steel Creations, bought and renovated the old Tampa Heights Fire Station No. 5, which became Red Door No. 5. Each month, the gallery features local artists with an opening reception in conjunction with First Friday Art in the Heights. This Friday’s exhibition, ＂Unfurled＂, features abstract artists Stephanie Ong and Laura Kmetz.
Ong’s paintings are a form of communication using light, scale and color. Her latest series, ＂Habitats＂, explores transitions in life. Kmetz’s works are deep concentrations of nature and objects, which she explores through multilayered, mixed-media works. She seeks to reveal the essence of things, finding their meaning and offer associations with displacement, loss, search, recovery and preservation. The opening reception is 7—10 p.m. 1910 N Florida Ave. The gallery’s hours after that are by appointment.

【題目】Glacier Bay is one of the most famous parks in America, located in the state of Alaska. This park in the southeastern part of the state covers more than 1 million hectares of Alaskan wilderness. It includes mountains, glaciers (冰川), bays, and even rainforests. Glacier Bay supports hundreds of kinds of animals, including many species of birds, fish, bears, whales and sea lions.
As its name suggests, much of Glacier Bay National Park is covered by glaciers. A glacier is a large area of ice that moves slowly down a slope (斜坡) or valley, or over a wide area of land. Glaciers cover more than 5,000 square kilometers of the park.
Glacial ice has shaped the land over the last seven million years. The glaciers found in the park today are what remains from an ice advance known as the Little Ice Age. That period began about 4,000 years ago.
During the Little Ice Age, the cold weather caused the ice to grow and advance. That situation continued until about 1,700s, when the climate began to warm. The higher temperatures caused the ice to start melting. That melting led the huge glacier to separate into more than 1,000 different glaciers.
The extremely tall and jagged (參差不齊的) mountains seen in Glacier Bay National Park were formed by the ice advancing and then melting over time. The melting of the ice also created water that filled in and created the many fjords (峽灣) within the park. Fjords are narrow parts of the ocean that sit between cliffs or mountains.
The huge amount of water from the melted ice killed off many kinds of plants. Vegetation returned to the area over the next 200 years. The regrowth in plants also brought back many animals to the land. This return of life to Glacier Bay is why it is sometimes called “a land reborn” by people.
【1】What is mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. The function of Glacier Bay.
B. The climate of Glacier Bay.
C. The area of Alaskan wilderness.
D. The number of animals in Glacier Bay.
【2】What happened to Glacier Bay during the Little Ice Age?
A. Many slopes or valleys came into being.
B. The glaciers grew and advanced.
C. Different glaciers became a whole one.
D. The fjords became narrow.
【3】What is mainly discussed in the last paragraph?
A. How the water killed off the plants.
B. When vegetation returned to Glacier Bay.
C. What the relationship between plants and animals is.
D. Why Glacier Bay is sometimes called “a land reborn”.

【題目】閱讀理解
I don't think there is anything more important than health. “Health is the greatest wealth，” wise people say. You can't be good at your studies or work well when you are ill.
If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor. The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that, he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.
Speaking about doctor's advice, I can't help telling you a funny story. An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: "Eat with pleasure, drink with pleasure and enjoy life as it is." The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn't smoke more than one cigarette a day. A month later the gentleman came into the doctor's office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man." But you know, doctor," he said, “it's not easy to begin smoking at my age.”

【題目】B
They text their friends all day long. At night, they do research for their term papers on laptops and communicate with their parents on Facebook. But as they walk the paths of Hamilton College, students are still pulling around old-fashioned textbooks — and loving it.
＂The screen won’t go blank,＂ said Faton, a sophomore. ＂There can’t be a virus. It wouldn’t be the same without books. They’ve defined ‘academia’ for a thousand years.＂
Though the world of print is receding before a tide of digital books, blogs and other websites, a generation of college students weaned on technology appears to be holding fast to traditional textbooks. That loyalty comes at a price. Textbooks are expensive, and students’ frustrations with the expense, as well as the emergence of new technology, have produced a lot of choices for obtaining them.
Many students are reluctant to give up the ability to flip quickly between chapters, write in the margins and highlight passages, although new software applications are beginning to allow students to use e-textbooks that way.
＂Students grew up learning from print books,＂ said Nicole Allen, ＂so as they transition to higher education, it’s not surprising that they carry a preference for a format that they are most accustomed to.＂
For now, buying books the old-fashioned way — new or used — prevails. If a campus store sold a new book for $100, it would typically buy the book back for $50 at semester’s endand sell it to the next student for $75. When Louis Boguchwal, a junior, tried to sell a $100 linear algebra textbook back to the college bookstore, he was offered $15. ＂It was insulting,＂ he said. ＂They give you next to nothing.＂
Rosemary Rocha, 26, she waits to borrow the few copies her professors leave on reserve at the library, or relies on the kindness of classmates. ＂My friends will let me borrow their books in exchange for coffee or a slice of pizza,＂ she said. ＂I very seldom buy the textbooks, but I’m always like a chicken without a head.＂
【題文1】Why do students prefer a book to a digital one?
A. E-books usually spread viruses among students.
B. Textbooks are much cheaper than e-books.
C. E-books can’t be written in the margins.
D. They grew up learning from print books.
【題文2】What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
A. I am always at a loss what to do.
B. I can’t learn without a textbook.
C. I don’t like eating the head of chicken.
D. I don’t know where to buy textbooks.
【題文3】What did the experience of Louis prove?
A. Bookstores cheated students in textbook sales.
B. Bookstores are king in buying and selling textbooks.
C. Bookstores made it convenient to buy textbooks.
D. Bookstores bought books from students fairly.
【題文4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Textbooks will be replaced by e-books soon.
B. E-books attract more students to read.
C. Students still like paper books in a digital age.
D. Technology makes paper textbooks out of date.

"Practice makes perfect" was an old saying.It tells us that it does not any matter if we are slow at doing something.As long as we keep on trying and practice,we'll do a good job at the end.The saying is especial useful in English study.Since a student is poor at speaking,he should catch every chance to open mouth and speak English.His oral English may be excellent one day as a result of his hard works.Not only is the saying useful in English study,but it is helpful in our daily life as well.To some degree,it is no easy way in doing everything since the key to succeed lies in "Practice makes perfect".

【題目】閱讀理解
If you’re secretly worried about your smart phone addiction, then the new NoPhone might be just the thing you need. It looks and feels exactly like a smart phone, but it does nothing. It’s just a piece of plastic that you can carry around in your hand to fool yourself.
Dutch designer Ingmar Larsen came up with the idea as a joke along with his two friends. To their great surprise, the idea received a lot of attention online and people from all over the world started placing requests for NoPhones of their own. So that’s when the three friends decided to turn to collecting enough fund for mass production.
NoPhone is currently a prototype (模型) that will cost only $12 once it hits the market It is 5.5 inches high, 2.6 inches wide and 0.29 inches thick, bringing it quite close to the latest smart phones on the market. It is described as “battery free”, “no upgrades necessary,” “shatter-proof (抗震)”, “waterproof” and “an alternative to constant hand-to-phone contact that allows you to stay connected with the real world.”
“Phone addiction is everywhere,” the designers insist. “It’s ruining your dates. It’s distracting you at concerts. It’s blocking sidewalks. Now, there is a real solution. With a thin, light and completely wireless design, the NoPhone acts as a substitute to any smart mobile device, enabling you to always have a phone to hold without giving up potential engagement with your direct environment.”
If you’re interested in NoPhone, but concerned about not being able to take selfies (自拍) anymore. Don’t feel upset. The makers do have an upgrade at no extra charge---the mirror sticker. That way, they say, you can enjoy “real-time” selfies with your friends when they’re standing right behind you.
（1）What can NoPhone do for people according to the text?
A.It is actually a new kind of real smart phone.
B.It can help us stay away from the real world.
C.It helps get rid of people’s smart phone addiction.
D.It’s just a piece of plastic and can do nothing.
（2）What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The size of NoPhone.
B.The inventors of NoPhone.
C.The material of NoPhone.
D.A brief description of NoPhone.
（3）What can we learn from the passage?
A.NoPhone has received unexpected attention.
B.NoPhone can completely replace smart phones.
C.The designers have made lots of money from NoPhone.
D.NoPhone is able to take selfies as smart phones do.
（4）What type of writing is this passage?
A.A travel guide.
B.A scientific report.
C.A medical record.
D.An official document.
