閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項A、B、C和D中，選出最佳選項。

Most teenagers in the United States spend their time trying to make time for school，family and friends.But some choose bigger goals.

At age 15，Winter Vinecki has already had more successes than most people have in their lifetime.“I recently completed a marathon on all seven continents and became the youngest person in the world to do so.And I was really doing this for my dad.”

Doctors discovered that Winter's father had a rare and deadly form of prostate(前列腺)cancer when she was nine years old.Then he died 10 months later.“When he was first diagnosed(診斷)with prostate cancer I immediately knew I had to do something to help him.That's when I formed Team Winter for prostate cancer research and awareness.”

Through Team Winter and social media，Winter Vinecki has raised almost 500，000 dollars.She has taken prostate cancer education worldwide through foot races called marathons，on seven continents.In the United States she travels continually to talk about prostate cancer and urge others to act.

Winter Vinecki attended a conference recently in Los Angeles，California and spoke at the conference as one of several teenagers who spoke about young people who were living extraordinary lives.

“So prostate cancer is much more common but men don't want to talk about it.So that is why a ten-year-old girl had to go out there and start talking about it for them.”

Another speaker was Jack Andraka who invented a sensor which is not as expensive as traditional equipment that can't be afforded by most common people.It can identify cancers of the pancreas(胰腺)and lungs.He was 15 at the time.

Jack is now 17 and seeking patents(專利)for his latest inventions.He has developed low-cost water quality equipment which can help identify and remove heavy metals and poisonous chemicals from water.

“I hope to see them used in the developing nations such as Bangladesh and parts of China and India，especially as well as in parts of Africa，where these heavy metal and pesticides(農藥) and other kinds of waste are a major problem.”

1.We can learn that Winter Vinecki's father died ______．

A．a(chǎn)bout 5 years ago

B．not long ago this year

C．only 10 months ago

D．when she was about 15

2.Winter Vinecki took part in marathons mainly to ________．

A．try to realize her father's last wish

D．raise money for patients with cancer

3.From what Winter Vinecki said at the conference，it can be inferred that ________．

A．it's more proper for children to talk about prostate cancer

B．she had to do what others didn't want to do after her father died

C．most people don't know prostate cancer because it is a rare disease

D．several teenagers there supported her by speaking about prostate cancer

4.What do you know about Jack Andraka's new invention?

A．It was invented when he was 15.

B．It is widely used in developing countries.

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項A、B、C和D中，選出最佳選項。

The media provides us with the observations and experiences from which we build up our personal understanding of the world and how it works.Much of our view of reality is based on media messages.The media，to a great extent，gives us our sense of reality.

Freedom of the media carries with it certain responsibilities of honesty，fairness，accuracy and account-ability.The power of the media to create and destroy human values comes with great responsibility.

The media is powerful in the political system，having great influence on politics and on forming social change.The power is to decide who will communicate what to whom.Television can greatly influence the election of a national leader on the basis of his or her image.

Professional journalists do have a code of ethics(道德標準)．Journalists make a judgment about what's safe and appropriate to report，which often involves difficult choices.German sociologist Max Weber distinguishes between“ethics of conviction”and“ethics of responsibility”．According to the latter(ethics of responsibility)，journalists must take into account the foreseeable consequences of their reporting，and the impact it will have on society.The former，on the other hand，asks journalists to tell the truth，regardless of the consequences.According to Weber，both ideas of ethics should be considered.

Without doubt，information is power，and the big owners of the mass media are very powerful people.Television and radio stations，newspapers，magazines，and websites are，largely，owned and controlled by profit-making businesses.It is not strange that their ideas will get promoted at times.

It is my view that such power and responsibility should never be left in the hands of a few.I believe it is our responsibility as concerned citizens to make sure we are not merely passive viewers，readers or listeners.Together we can have a huge influence on the media by making our views known.

1.What's the first paragraph mainly about?

A．Responsibilities of the media.

B．Influence of the media.

C．History of the media.

D．Problems of the media.

2.We can learn from the third paragraph that ________．

A．the media is more interested in politics than other fields

B．forming social change is the main duty of the media

C．the great power of the media is controlled by political figures

D．the media can affect politics by forming political figures' images

3.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A．The mass media should be owned by the government.

B．The media industry has developed into a new age in recent years.

C．In most cases，journalists are more powerful than the owners of the media.

D．The media tends to promote the ideas of their owners sometimes.

All over the world mothers and fathers teach their children manners. Other children may have manners that are not like yours. There are all kinds of manners.

Many years ago, children who had good manners were seen and not heard. They kept quite quiet if grown?ups were talking. Today, well?mannered children have more freedom.

Sometimes good manners in one place are bad manners in other places.

Suppose you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia. Some friends ask you to eat with them. What kind of manners do they want you to have? They want you to give a loud “burp(打嗝)” after you finish eating. Burping would show that you like your food.

In some countries, if you give a loud burp, you are told to say, “Excuse me, please.”

In many places people like to eat together. But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating together.People show good manners by turning their backs to others while they eat.

What are manners like in an East African town? People try not to see you.They are being polite.You may see a friend. He may not see you at all.If you are polite, you will sit down beside him.You will wait until he finishes what he is doing. Then he will talk to you.

Suppose you visit a friend in Arabia.You should walk behind the other tents until you come to his tent. If you pass in front of the other tents, you will be asked into each one.People will ask you to eat with them. And it is bad manners if you say no.

Manners are different all over the world. But it is good to know that all manners begin in the same way. People need ways to show that they want to be friends.

1.People turn their backs to others while they eat in some places in ________.

A．Mongolia B．a(chǎn)n East African town

The 2014 Nobel Prize in Literature went to the French novelist “for the art of memory” with which he has “uncovered the life?world of the occupation”．

Although the 69?year?old writer is a very popular literary figure in France, he is little known elsewhere.

So who is this Patrick Modiano, why does his memory have such an influence upon him, and what exactly has he uncovered?

Modiano was born in a suburb of Paris right after World War Ⅱ ended in Europe in July 1945.His father was a Jewish?Italian businessman who met his Belgian actress mother during the Nazi occupation of Paris.

As The New Yorker magazine put it, Europeans born in 1945 share a condition—They escaped the war, but “not the taint(污點) of the war”．

Modiano's life has been influenced by Nazi Germany's occupation during the war, and his family's connections to it.According to New York?based newspaper Forward, his father survived the war dishonorably.When Paris' Jews were brought together to be sent to concentration camps, the businessman did not join them but spent the time making money from deals with Nazis on the black market.

“The novelist has a duty to record the lives of the people who have disappeared, the people who were made to disappear，” French writer Clemence Boulouque, also an expert in Jewish studies, told The New Yorker magazine.

In his more than three dozen novels, Modiano has returned again and again to the same themes：Jewishness, the Nazi occupation, and loss of identity.His characters collect pieces of old evidence, handwriting, photographs, police files, and newspaper cuttings.

His most admired novel，Missing Person, is a good example.It's the story about a detective who has lost his memory.He tries to find out who he really is by following his own steps through history.

Although Modiano's win is a surprise outside France, people are celebrating in his home country.Modiano is the 15th French literature winner.After Le Clezio's 2008 win, it seemed unlikely that there would be another so soon.

1.The passage is mainly about ________.

A．a(chǎn) literary figure's personal affairs

B．a(chǎn) famous novelist's family background

C．a(chǎn) Nobel Prize winner and his literary achievement

D．European people's sufferings during World War Ⅱ

2.Which of the following statements about Patrick Modiano is TRUE according to the passage?

A．He is a survivor of World War Ⅱ.

B．He tried to find back his lost identity.

C．World War Ⅱ has an impact on his life.

D．He was world?famous before winning the Nobel Prize.

3.Modiano won the Nobel Prize because of ________.

A．his extraordinary character

B．his unique way of recording history

C．his characters' unusual experiences

D．his special connections to the war

4.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A．Modiano's parents were sent to the concentration camp

B．Modiano's winning the Prize was beyond expectation

C．Modiano's father had nothing to do with the Nazis

D．Clemence Boulouque is also of Jewish origin
