It is known to us that computer users are being warned by industry experts to pay attention to secret codes which could be used to record their conversation.
E-mails, screen savers, and electronic greeting cards can carry a secret code which is able to turn on the computer’s microphone, make a recording, and forward it to someone else without the user’s knowledge.
In fact any attachments (附件) sent to a computer, whether it is a game of Space Invaders, or a moving picture, can possibly be used to spy (窺探).
Experts say people should always think twice about opening attachments because --- although not common --- bugging (竊聽) by computer can and has been done.
Bill Lyons, head of the Internet Security Company Finjan, said, “People in the army have tested this and you can be sure, if people in general are aware of it, then computer hackers (黑客) are aware of it. The frightening thing is that there are tools on the Internet which people, using a simple search method, can find, and which will enable them to attach this dangerous code to simple attachments.”
【小題1】What is the advice given in the passage?

A．Use secret codes to record other people’s conversation. 
B．Be careful when opening an attachment. 
C．Never open any attachments. 
D．Never use secret codes. 
【小題2】What worries the experts is that ___ .
A．nobody seems to believe such things 
B．nobody knows the danger of the code 
C．tools can easily be used to tie dangerous codes to e-mails 
D．effective ways can never be found to deal with the problem. 
【小題3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．A moving picture cannot be used to spy. 
B．Electronic greeting cards cannot carry a secret code. 
C．A secret code is used to destroy the computer system. 
D．Any attachments sent to a computer may carry a secret code.

If you do not use your arm or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault(過錯(cuò)). But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame(受責(zé)備), and few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they cannot write down in a little notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised. So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: Practice remembering.
【小題1】The main reason for one’s poor memory is that _______.

A．his memory is not often used
B．he does not use his name or legs for some time
C．his father or mother may have a poor memory
D．he can’t read or write
【小題2】If you do not use your arms or legs for some time _______.
A．you can’t use them any more
B．they will become stronger
C．they will become neither stronger nor weaker
D．they become weak and won’t become strong until you use them again
【小題3】Some people can’t read or write, but they usually have better memories, because _______.
A．they have saved much trouble
B．they have saved much time to remember things
C．they have to use their memories all the time
D．they can’t write everything in a little notebook
【小題4】Which is the best title for this passage?
A．Don’t Stop Using Your Arms or Legs
B．How to Have a Good Memory
C．Strong Arms and Good Memories
D．Learn From the People

How can we measure animals’ emotions? A new study of animal’s emotions suggests that, as in humans, emotions can tell animals about how dangerous their world is, and guide the choices that they make. The article of the study by Bristol University’s professor Mike Mendl was published online.
An animal living in an environment where it is often threatened by predators(捕食者）will develop a negative emotion or “mood”, such as anxiety. However, one in an environment with plenty of opportunities to get resources for survival will be in a more positive mood state.
The researchers say that these emotional states not only show the animal’s experiences, but also help it decide how to make choices, especially in unclear situations. This could have good or bad results. An animal in a negative mood state will make a safety-first with a “pessimistic” response to an unclear event. For example, it considers a noise in the grass as a signal of the predator. At the same time, an animal in a positive mood state will benefit from a more “optimistic” response. It considers the noise as a signal of prey(獵物）.
Professor Mike Mendl, head of the Animal Welfare and Behavior Research Group at Bristol University’s School of Clinical Veterinary Science said, “ We can use “optimistic” or “pessimistic”decision-making as a symbol of an animal’s emotional state. Recent studies by our group and others suggest that this is a meritorious new approach to studying a variety of animal species.”
“Public interest in animal welfare remains high, with widespread concern about the way in which animals are treated, used and included in society. To understand how animals should be treated, we need to better understand their emotional lives,” Mike Mendl said. The researchers believe Mike Mendl’s study can help them to better understand and assess an animal’s emotions.
【小題1】When an animal is in a negative mood state, _______.

A．its response to an unclear event is pessimistic
B．it will pay little attention to an unclear event
C．it is easy for it to make right decisions
D．it has more opportunities to get food
【小題2】The underlined word “meritorious” in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by “_______”.
A．valuableB．uselessC．fashionableD．hopeless
【小題3】We can infer from the passage that ________.
A．the animals with positive emotions live longer
B．there is no way to assess an animal’s emotions
C．few people care about animal welfare nowadays
D．the environment can influence animal’s emotions
【小題4】Mike Mendl advised people to better understand animal’s emotions in order to _____.
A．tell people to build more protected areas for animals
B．explain animals should be regarded as people’s friends
C．raise people’s interest in studying animals
D．make people know how to treat animals properly
【小題5】What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Different kinds of Animals’ Emotions
B．Emotions Helps Animals to Make Choice
C．The Living Environment of Wild Animals
D．The Best Way to Measure Animals’ Emotions

Many people are aware of the beauty of a solar eclipse (日食), but are surprised to learn that lunar eclipses are often just as impressive. While total solar eclipse lasts only for a few minutes and can be seen only in a small area of a few kilometers, total lunar eclipse can last for several hours and can be seen over much of the planet. In fact, the beauty and stability of lunar eclipses make them a favorite of both amateur and professional photographers.
Lunar eclipses generally occur two or three times a year, and are possible only when the Moon is full. When we see the Moon, we are actually seeing sunlight reflected off the surface of the Moon When the Earth is positioned in between the Moon and the Sun, however, the Earth's shadow falls on the Moon, and a lunar eclipse occurs.
The type of lunar eclipse - total, partial, or penumbral (半影) - that occurs depends both on how much of the Moon passes through the Earth's shadow and through which part of the shadow it passes. A penumbral eclipse occurs when the Moon passes through the Earth's outer shadow. This type of eclipse is brief and frequently goes unobserved by all but astronomers. By contrast, total and partial eclipses occur when all or part, respectively, of the Moon passes through the umbra（本影） shadow of the Earth. These eclipses are quite easy to see and are widely observed.
Unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses are safe to watch. Solar radiation that occurs during an eclipse of the Sun can cause a form of burns of one's eyes known as eclipse blindness. In fact, the only way to safely view a solar eclipse is by using specially designed equipment. However, since the Moon's light is reflected sunlight, it is completely safe to watch a lunar eclipse without any special equipment, although a pair of binoculars can certainly help the viewer appreciate the beauty of this phenomenon
【小題1】The underlined word "stability " most probably means_______.

A．strength B．position C．steadiness D．visibility
【小題2】According to the passage, a partial lunar eclipse occurs________.
A．when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth
B．when all of the Moon passes through the Earth's umbra shadow
C．when only a part of the Moon passes through the Earth's outer shadow
D．when only a part of the Moon passes through the Earth's umbra shadow
【小題3】The passage implies that penumbral eclipses are________.
A．longer-lasting than most solar eclipses
B．more common than partial or full lunar eclipse
C．the result of the shadow cast by the Moon onto the Earth
D．more difficult to observe than other types of lunar eclipse
【小題4】According to the passage, it is safe to watch a lunar eclipse, unlike a solar eclipse, because ________.
A．moonlight is less strong than sunlight
B．a(chǎn) lunar eclipse is briefer than a solar eclipse
C．a(chǎn) lunar eclipse lasts much longer than a solar eclipse
D．special equipment can be employed to view a lunar eclipse

The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological（生態(tài)的） disaster area. Nauru’s heartbreaking story could have one good consequence — other countries might learn from its mistakes.
For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island.
However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900.
Nauru’s real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate (磷酸鹽)on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate.
A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine（帶狀礦）. When a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer（層） of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.
In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.
Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem — their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen.
【小題1】What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A．To seek help for Nauru’s problems.B．To give a warning to other countries.
C．To show the importance of money.D．To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.
【小題2】What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?
A．Rich and powerful. B．Modern and open.
C．Peaceful and attractive. D．Greedy and aggressive.
【小題3】The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from           .
A．soil pollutionB．phosphate over mining
C．farming activity D．whale hunting
【小題4】Which of the following was a cause of Nauru’s financial problem?
A．Its leaders misused the money.B．It spent too much repairing the island.
C．Its phosphate mining cost much money.D．It lost millions of dollars in the civil war.
【小題5】What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?
A．The phosphate mines were destroyed.B．The leaders will take the experts’ words seriously.
C．The island was abandoned by the Nauruans.D．The ecological damage is difficult to repair.

Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control your behavior, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.
If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive(不坦率的) person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You’re very stubborn(頑固的), but you aren’t very ambitious. You’re usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.
If you sleep curled up (卷曲), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you’re often defensive. You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You’re easily hurt.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people.

Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.
The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.
Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.
But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.
There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realise just how much unnecessary material are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.
【小題1】What does the underlined phrase “over-consumption” refer to?

A．Using too much packaging. 
B．Recycling too many wastes. 
C．Making more products than necessary. 
D．Having more material than is needed. 
【小題2】The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show _______.
A．the tendency of cutting household waste 
B．the increase of packaging recycling 
C．the rapid growth of super markets 
D．the fact of packaging overuse 
【小題3】According to the text, recycling ______.
A．helps control the greenhouse effect 
B．means burning packaging for energy 
C．is the solution to gas shortage 
D．leads to a waste of land 
【小題4】 What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A．Unpackaged products are of bad quality. 
B．Supermarkets care more about packaging. 
C．It is improper to judge quality by packaging. 
D．Other products are better packaged than food. 
【小題5】 What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．Fighting wastefulness is difficult. 
B．Needless material is mostly recycled. 
C．People like collecting recyclable waste. 
D．The author is proud of their consumer culture.

Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s.The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach to make him strong. People watched him, and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach. Popeye helped sell 33 percent more spinach than before! Spinach became a necessary part of many people’s diets. Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.
Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong, but this is not true. Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.
People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake. In the 1890s, a group of people studied what was inside vegetables. This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did. The group wrote the number wrong, and everyone accepted it.
Today, we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is. However, spinach does have something else which the body needs—folic acid.
It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong. Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.   
【小題1】Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor?

A．They thought spinach made them strong.
B．They thought Popeye was funny.
C．Spinach had a lot of iron.
D．People liked folic acid.
【小題2】A research group told people that spinach______.
A．made Popeye strong
B．was a green vegetable
C．had less iron than other green vegetables
D．had more iron than other green vegetables
【小題3】The reading passage says that perhaps Popeye got his strength from______.
A．iron B．folic acid C．spinach D．exercise
【小題4】Folic acid is ______.
A．something in food B．a(chǎn) vegetable C．dangerous D．a(chǎn) certain kind of spinach
