　Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later.
　　I am one of those unfortunate people who have poor sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time but I still get lost on my way there. When I was young I was so shy that I never dared ask complete strangers the way and so I used to wander round in circles and hope that by some chance I would get to the spot I was heading for.
　　I am no longer too shy to ask people for direction, but I often receive replies that puzzle me. Often people do not like to admit that they didn’t know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way, even if they do not know it; others, who are anxious to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long list of directions which you can not possibly hope to remember, and still others do not seem to be able to tell between their left and their right and you find in the end that you are going in the opposite direction to that in which you should be going.
　　If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I always tell them I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid giving them wrong direction but even this can have embarrassing results.
　　Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would direct him the way to the Sunlight Building. I gave my usual reply, but I had not walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I decide it was too late to turn back and search for him out of the crowd behind me as I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to keep him waiting.
　　Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions of my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked.
　　60. What is the writer going to do when someone asks him for direction?
　　   A. He will direct the right way to the person willingly.
　　   B. He will reply to it by the means of being a stranger to the town.
　　   C. He will give the very person long list of direction.
　　   D. He is going to show the man an opposite direction.
　　61. Why did the writer consider himself to be an unlucky dog?
　　   A. Because of his poor sense of direction.
　　   B. Because he always forget the way to home.
　　   C. Because he did not have any friend.
　　   D. Because he used to be shy and dared not ask others the way.
　　62. How did the visitor feel when he was showed into the very room?
　　   A. He felt strange.                              B. He felt embarrassed.
　　   C. He felt very sad.                                   D. He felt astonished.
　　63. Who showed the right way to the interviewee according to the passage?
　　   A. Someone we don’t know.                 B. The writer did it for himself.
　　   C. The secretary did so.                        D. A warm-hearted old lady did it.

II. 完形填空
閱讀下面短文，掌握其大意，然后從36－55各題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。
The purpose of a letter of application (求職) is to help you to "sell" yourself. It should state   16  the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have   17   . It should be simple, human, personal and brief without  18   out any necessary facts.
In writing a letter of application, keep in   19  that things a possible employer is most   20  to want to know about are your qualification, your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part.   21  the first few sentences fail to  22   the reader's attention, the rest of the letter may not be   23  at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer, not  24  your own needs or desires. For example, instead of beginning with "I saw your  25  in today's newspaper". You might say "I have made a careful  26  of your advertising during the past six months" or "I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives   27  your product and why they like it".
Try to  28  generalities (籠統(tǒng)) . Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now   29 . College graduates looking for their first positions often ask "What can I  30  in a letter? Employers want experience---which, naturally, no 31   has. The answer is that everything you have ever done is  32 .
It is important to write a good strong closing remark for your letter.  33  a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent  34  is to enclose (內附) a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it  35   for a possible employer to get in touch with you.

In the face of rising gas costs, many consumers are beginning to consider the choice of a hybrid(混合動力的) vehicle--one which operates on both gas and electricity. All of the models of hybrid car will save money, but are they really effective when all of the costs of maintenance(維修) and other considerations are included in?
First of all, consider the cost of buying a hybrid vehicle. Depending on the model, hybrid vehicles can cost anywhere from $2,000 to $5,000 more than the traditional models. However, some say that as the hybrid cars become increasingly more available as a reflection of demand, the prices can be expected to drop, making them more cost effective when it comes to the initial investment(初始投資).
Also important to keep in mind is the fact that the hybrid cars have a much more specialized system than the standard vehicle, and will therefore require more specialized workers to repair them when they break down.
It seems as though, at least for the time being, the purchase of a hybrid vehicle for the average consumer may not be the best choice when it comes to saving money. It is important to keep several things in mind, however, when considering purchasing a hybrid model. Many consumers are choosing to purchase these cars because they represent a significant development in terms of environmental concerns over standard models. They also mean that as a whole, Western nations will become less dependent on oil as the only means of power.
Finally, it is necessary to remember that the hybrid car is a very new technology. Developed only within the last few years, the technology is still in the starting stage, where costs will continue to be high. As time passes, the development of the hybrid technology will begin to push prices down to the point where hybrids are more competitive with the traditionally fueled models of the past.
72.What is the purpose of writing this article?
A. To tell the readers about the advantages of hybrid cars.
B. To warn the readers of the disadvantages of hybrid cars.
C. To advise people to think twice before buying hybrid cars.
D. To call on people to buy hybrid cars to protect the environment.
73.Which is the benefit of hybrid cars?
A. Consuming less gas.         B. Being easier to drive.
C. Lower initial investment.  D. Lower maintenance cost.
74.What do we know from the passage?
A. The hybrid technology is very new and mature as well.
B. It’s not easy to repair a hybrid car due to its special system.
C. Many average consumers can not afford to buy hybrid cars.
D. The traditional vehicles are much safer to drive than hybrid cars.
75.We can infer from the passage that          in the future.
A. the traditional cars will gradually disappear
B. the hybrid vehicles will gradually disappear
C. the cost of hybrid cars will be more reasonable
D. the hybrid technology will bring oil prices down

The repairman told me, “No charge Professor Pan! We’re friends．” “I’d rather pay,” I replied．“If it’s free, I can’t afford it!”
Chinese often refuse payment for professional services, insisting, "We’re friends now!" But then they show up later to ask me to tutor them in English, or get them into an American university, and I wish I’d have just paid the 30 yuan I owed them in the first place!
According to the Americans, "There’s no free lunch," meaning that there’s a price for everything, and I’m always looking around to figure out what this means．Many of our neighbours have given us fruit or flowers or costly teas, never asking anything in return．For years, a bicycle repairman has repeatedly refused to let me pay him．"Wait until you have something major to fix! "he insists．
I mentioned to a peasant friend that I wished I had a stone mill to grind(磨)flour for bread．A month later he showed up with a beautiful mill that he’d had his uncle in the countryside carve from a solid block of granite(花崗石)．
Chinese generosity(慷慨)is a real education for Americans like me, who would rather avoid social entanglements (糾紛) and just hand over the money．But cash can’t compensate(補償)for the greatest gift--friendship．
When an American saw some of my friends sitting on bamboo stools under the trees, sipping(呷)tea, he said, "They  must have nothing better to do．""Actually, "I said, "they are professors, with plenty to do．But probably you’re right in saying that, at this moment, they have nothing better to do．And neither do I!" And I joined the group．We chatted about tea and Chinese cooking and how much my boys have grown since we arrived．One man said, "They were pocket-sized when you came here．Now
they’re taller than you．How time flies!"
How life flies．And Chinese are smart enough to share what they know they cannot keep．They freely give of their time, never too busy to help a friend．And they are teaching me, slowly, to both give and receive．So the next time someone says, "No charge．We’re friends! " I will thank them heartily．But if they show up later asking me to tutor them in English, I’ll make sure they tutor my son in Chinese as well, because there’s still no free lunch．
64．The author insisted on paying repairman while he was offered free repairs because he     .
A．was an honest man
B．didn’t know the repairman
C．thought it natural to pay for others’ service
D．didn’t want to help others in return
65．Generally, the author thinks that Chinese are _________．
A．generous and always ready to help their friends
B．good at exchange of equal values
C．free enough to drink tea and chat with their friends
D．helpful but don’t treasure time
66．The best title of the passage should be “       ”.
A．Learn to Both Give And Receive    B．A Good Lesson from Chinese
C．True Help or Not                   D．Still No Free Lunch
67．Which of the following is TRUE?
A．The Chinese would rather not take the money to avoid problems in social communication.
B．When a peasant knew the author needed a mill, he made one for the author himself.
C．The author thinks that Chinese are wise enough to enjoy the limited life.
D．The author thinks little of Chinese way of life.

While staying with a family, I found their teenage son, David, aged 16, didn’t share his true feelings with his parents. If his parents were present when I asked him how he felt about things, he would look down or away or say something unrelated such as, "Today, I will go out. "or "Okay, I guess. "However, when we were alone he would open up and tell me how he felt. For example, while sitting at the dinner table, I asked him how he felt about his history class and the teacher. He thought for a moment but said nothing. I thought he was afraid to answer in front of his parents, so later I asked him again in private. He said, "On a scale (級別) of 0-10, it is a big fat zero. He is the most boring teacher I have ever had. "I asked him why he didn’t tell me this earlier. He said it was because his parents didn’t want to hear that. They just wanted to hear that everything was wonderful and they always told him to stop complaining.
This made me think a lot. My belief is that children are born with the desire to share feelings. I also believe they are born with perfect emotional honesty. Unfortunately, such valuable things are disappearing gradually. It really is a great loss, which I believe, will negatively affect both the children’s ability to know about themselves and their success in future relationships.
I see the situation as a missed opportunity, an opportunity for parents to get closer to their children, an opportunity to understand their children and to help them feel understood; however, communication gaps (分歧) have been made. Parents are more interested in "correcting" their children’s ways of expressing themselves than in getting to know their children.
70. We can know from the passage that _________.
A. David is not good at talking  B. David likes showing his true feelings in public
C. David hates his parents      D. David dislikes his history teacher
71. According to the author, children who don’t show their true feelings ____________.
A. won’t succeed in their future careers
B. will not have good relationship with their parents
C. won’t have clear ideas of themselves
D. will have no difficulty getting along with others
72. The author thinks that parents should ____________.
A. stop complaining about their children
B. try to understand their children’s true feelings
C. find more ways to communicate with their children
D. correct their children’s ways of communication

四、閱讀理解（共20小題。每小題2分，滿分40分）
A famous foreign company that invested in China wanted to employ a reception secretary for its public relation department.
A beautiful girl with a master degree in electric engineering became a winning candidate(候選人) through the difficult process of employment. At its last stage she faced an oral test together with another girl who was her equal not only in good looks but also in education standard. The girl we talk about was confident in herself and successful in the oral test. It seemed that she would get the chance. The examiner told her on behalf of（代表） the company that she could come to office of the company next Monday as a new employee. At last he asked her, “Have you anything else to say?”  Shocked by the unexpected question, the beautiful girl was quite at a loss, saying with hesitation(猶豫不決), “I have to talk with my parents before I give an answer.” Surprised, the examiner said calmly,“In that case, let’s wait till you are ready.”
The next day the girl came to tell that her parents agreed to her beginning work next Monday. But the examiner said regretfully, “Sorry, the job position is filled by another suitable candidate. You had better have a try in another place.” The beautiful girl was surprised. She asked for an explanation and was told, “What is needed here is a person who knows her own mind.”
That was how a good opportunity slipped away right under the nose of a beautiful girl.
56．What did the examiner value most?
A．One’s beautiful looks.    B．One’s knowledge.
C．One’s young age.        D．One’s independence.
57．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A．the other girl who failed at the last oral test was most likely（有可能）to get the job
B．another girl chosen in next test held the company
C．the company lost its best employee
D．the examiner was surprised at his first choice
58．Why did the beautiful girl want to ask her parents for advice?
A．She knew what to do.
B．She couldn’t answer the question.
C．She hadn’t expected the examiner would ask such a question.
D．Her parents would scold her if she agreed without their permission.
59．The best title of this passage probably is ________.
A．Make your decision quickly    B．Have your own judgment
C．Seize your chance in time      D．Hesitation leads to failure
