The other day, my friend Jane was invited to a 40th birthday party. The time printed on the invitation was7:30p.m.Jane went off with her husband, expecting a merry evening of wine, food, and song. By 9:45, everybody was having great fun, but no food had appeared. Jane and David were restless. Other guests began whispering that they, too, were starving. But no one wanted to leave, just in case some food was about to appear. By 11：00, there was still no food, and everyone was completely off their heads. Jane and David left hungry and angry. Their experience suggests that the words on printed invitations need to be made clearer. Everyone reads and understands the invitations differently. Most of us would agree that 6:30 ～ 8:30p.m.means drinks only, go out to dinner afterwards; ～ 8:00p.m.or 8:30p.m. means possible dinner, but 9:30p.m.and any time thereafter means no food, eat beforehand, roll up late. But this is not always the case. If asked to a students' party at 6:30p.m. , it is normal for guests not to appear before midnight, if at all, and no one cares. Being the first to arrive-looking eager-is social death. When my mother is asked to a party for 6:30, she likes to be there, if not on time, then no later than seven. My age group (late thirties) falls somewhere between the two, but because we still think we're young, we're probably closer to student-time than grown-up time. The accepted custom at present is confusing (混亂的), sometimes annoying, and it often means you may go home hungry, but it does lend every party that precious element(成分) of surprise.

1. The underlined words "off their heads" probably mean ________.

A. tired

B. crazy

C. curious

D. hopeless

2. Jane and David's story is used to show that ________.

A. party-goers usually get hungry at parties

B. party invitations can be confusing

C. people should ask for food at parties

D. birthday parties for middle-aged people are dull

3. For some young people, arriving on time for a students' party will probably be considered ________.

A. very difficult

B. particularly thoughtful

C. friendly and polite

D. socially unacceptable

4. According to the writer, people in their late thirties ________

A. are likely to arrive late for a party

B. care little about the party time

C. haven't really grown up yet

D. like surprises at parties

第二部分：閱讀理解（共20小題; 每小題2分,滿分40分）
Around six weeks ago, Kaileen came running into the house, just getting off the bus from school. She was all excited about a story about homeless pets because of Hurricane (颶風) Katrina and all that was going on to help them. She said that this information came from her animal newspaper (your KIND News). Kaileen has a great love and compassion (同情心) for animals, so her excitement did not surprise me. Her next ideas, however, did. She said that we should go around right then to our neighbors and collect all their change to send to the animal shelters (保護所).
I thought this was a school project, but in fact, it was not. This was what Kaileen wanted to do on her own! Well, it warmed me all over. To see your child so willing to help others just lets you feel that maybe you had done something right in raising (養(yǎng)育) her.
Anyway, I told her to make a card and send it out to our neighbors first. With the help of her older brother, Kaileen soon made a lovely card that asked our neighbors to help these pets by giving their spare change. She gave them a few days and a date she would come by to pick up any donations (捐贈). 
Well, I had to go out and buy a donation box. Kaileen collected $279.50!!! I just thought you would like to know how KIND News had touched a little one’s heart and given her the idea to show her compassion for animals. Thank you — we really enjoy your paper.
36. The passage is probably taken from ______. 
A. a report about a warm-hearted girl
B. an advertisement for an animal shelter 
C. a thank-you letter to a newspaper
D. a donation program for homeless pets 
37. What was the author’s feeling about Kaileen’s idea? 
A. Pleased and excited. 
B. Surprised and moved.
C. Tired and sad.                         
D. Worried and angry.
38. From the passage we learn that KIND News ______.
A. collects donations for homeless people 
B. sets up many shelters for homeless animals 
C. tells children how to keep pets healthy 
D. encourages children to help homeless pets 
39. We can infer that the passage is written by Kaileen’s ______.
A. parent          B. teacher         C. brother      D. neighbor

閱讀表達 (共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分)
After achieving a 9 percent GDP growth, hosting a successful Olympic Games and carrying out its first space walk in the year of 2008, you'd think China would be happy. _________. That, at least, is the opinion of a new book written by a group of Chinese authors.
China Is Not Happy was published in March, 2009. It is a follow-up to the 1996 work China Can Say No, a bestseller that complained about the influence of the West, and the US in particular on China. Thirteen years later, the authors of China Is Not Happy list their dissatisfaction with how China is being treated in the world today.
They argue that China needs to use its growing power and economic resources to build its own position of preeminence（卓越）．"From looking at the history of human civilization, we are most qualified to lead this world." the book says.
The authors, single out the US for special scorn（輕蔑）. "The economic problem has shown the Chinese people that America does have problems, that what we've been saying is right," said one of the authors．
The book has become a bestseller in many Chinese bookstores．Yet much of the response to the book has been negative．Several reviews in the Chinese media have criticized the book's radical（激進的） opinions．The book is a way to "fish money from the pockets of the angry youth and angry elderly," wrote one critic in the China Youth Daily．Meanwhile, a well-known sociologist, Li Yinhe, has said that China needs patriotism（愛國主義）, but there is a limit．In her blog she wrote, "If we are to bully other countries, take the world's resources and try to lead it, we're going over the top．"
【小題1】List two great achievements that China made in 2008 based on the text．（Please answer within 15 words．）
____________________________________________________________________________
【小題2】Fill in the blank in Paragraph 1 with proper words．（Please answer within 6 words．）
