Are you a man or a mouse? When people ask this question they want to know 36  you think you are a 37  person or a coward (懦夫). But you will never really know the answer to this question 38  you are tested in real life. Some people  39  they are brave but when they come face to face with real 40 , they act like cowards. Others think of themselves as cowards, but when they meet danger, they act like 41  .
Lenny had always thought of himself as a 42  person. He got worried before examinations. He worried about his job and health. All he wanted in life was to be safe and healthy. 43 , on January 15th, 2002, a plane crashed into the Potomac River in Washington. Lenny went to the river to see what was happening. He saw a woman in the  44  water. Lenny did not feel afraid. He kept very 45 and did a very dangerous thing. He jumped into the Potomac, 46  to the woman, and kept her head 47  the water. Seventy-eight people died that day. Thanks to Lenny, it was not  48 .
When you are in a very 49  situation and feel afraid, the body automatically produces a chemical in the blood. The chemical is called adrenalin.  50  adrenalin in the blood system, you actually feel stronger and stronger and are 51  to fight or run away. However, when you are absolutely terrified, the body can produce too much adrenalin. When this 52 , the muscles become very hard and you find you 53  at all. You are then paralyzed (使無能為力) with fear. This is 54 when we are very frightened, we sometimes say we’re “petrified”. This word comes from the Greek word “petros”, which means “stone”. We are 55  frightened that we become stonelike.

Alice, my friend’s daughter, goes to an expensive private school where she has a friend, Jane, who is on a full scholarship at this school. Jane has   36  economic resources—her father has been dead for years and her mother works   37  a maid. Although her mother works very hard, she can       38  __ support the family. Jane is very bright and gifted at   39  and that’s how she has got the scholarship, which included a(n)   40  for things like lunch, school uniform and music lessons.

On her birthday last month, she   43  her new friend to her birthday party, but Jane said she couldn’t come.  Alice wanted her to be   44  so much that she   45  on her coming. Eventually, the girl said, “I don’t have any   46__ clothes that I could wear at your birthday party.” After a brief pause, the girl remembered, “I have a   47  from my piano performance,” and asked, “Could I   48  a skirt from you?”

Finally, Alice explained to her Mother her friend’s   54  .  Her Mother immediately changed her mind and said, “Yes.” She also encouraged her daughter not to feel like she should secretly be friends with Jane but to feel proud of her   55  with her.

Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A--F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
(考生注意答題卡上的題號要與本題填涂時一致,從76題涂卡)
A. TV’s Influence on Children’s Life
B. Argument Against Violence on TV
C. TV’s Influence on People’s Leisure Activities
D. The Importance of Violence in Real Life
E. Attractions of Violence on TV
F.  TV’s Power
小題1:_________
Television has probably been the most powerful medium in shaping the new community. The electronic community gives us our mutual friends, our significant events and our daily chats. The “produced” relationships of television families become our models for intimacy. We know media stars better than we know our neighbors. Most of us can discuss their lives better than we can discuss those of our relatives. We think a man who plays a doctor on TV actually know something about medicine
小題2:_________
TV isolates people in their spare time. People spend more time watching music videos but less time making music with each other. People in small town now watch international cable networks instead of driving to their neighbor’s house for cards. Women watch soaps instead of attending church circles or book clubs. When company comes, the kids are sent to the TV room with videos.
小題3:_________
Parent are not the main influence in the lives of their children. Some of the first voices children hear are from the television, the first street they know is Sesame Street. A child playing Nintendo is learning different lessons than a child playing along a creek or playing dominoes with a grandfather.
小題4:_________
The time devoted to violence on TV in no way reflects its importance in real life. In real life, most of us exercise, work, visit our friends, read, cook and eat and shop. Few of us spend any significant amount of our time solving murders or fleeing psychotic killers. On television there are many more detective and murderers than exist in the real world. A rule of thumb about violence is “If it bleeds, it leads.” Violence captures viewers’ attention. Our programs have become increasing violent.
小題5:_________
Some might say that there is nothing new under the sun. Of course, in a narrow sense, they are correct. There have always been murderers, and stories about violence have been the theme of literature and song. However, things are different now. Children are exposed to hundreds of examples of violence every day. The frequency and intensity of these images is unprecedented in the history of humanity. We have clear records that this exposure makes it more likely that children will be violent and increase their fear levels about potential violence.

A car that runs on coffee is unveiled(shown to the public for the first time)today but at between 25 and 50 times the cost of running a car on petrol, the invention won’t please any motor industry accountants.
Nicknamed the Car-puccino, it has been created using a 1988 Volkswagen Scirocco bought for £400 and it was chosen because it looked like the time-traveling DeLorean in the movie Back To The Future.The car will be driven the 210 miles between Manchester and London powered only by roasted coffee granules (顆粒).It has been built by a team from the BBC1 science programme Bang Goes The Theory and will go on display at the Big Bang science fair in Manchester to show how fuels other than traditional petrol can power vehicles.
The team calculates the Car-puccino will do three miles per kilo of ground coffee (咖啡粉) — about 56 cups of espressos (濃咖啡) per mile.The journey will use about 70 kilos of ground coffee which, at supermarket prices of between £13 and £26 a kilo depending on brand and quality, will cost between £910 and £1,820, or between 25 and 50 times the £36 cost of petrol for the journey.In total, the trip will cost 11,760 espressos, and the team will have to take ‘coffee breaks’ roughly every 30 to 45 miles to pour in more granules.They will also have to stop about every 60 miles to clean out the ‘coffee filters’ to rid them of the soot and tar which is also generated by the process.So despite a top speed of 60mph, the many stops mean the going will be slow, with the journey taking around ten hours.
Sadly, the inventors will still have to pay duty on their coffee fuel---even though tax collectors at Her Majesty’s Revenue and Custom haven’t yet worked out how much.
Nick Watson, producer of Bang Goes The Theory, said, “Coffee, like wood or coal, has some carbon content so you can use it as a fuel.The coffee needs to be very dry and in granules to allow the air to move through the pile of coffee as it burns.The brand doesn’t matter.” He said the same technology could be used to power a car on other unusual fuels, such as woodchips or nut shells, construction or agricultural waste.
小題1:Which is the right way to choose the coffee used as fuels to run the Car-puccino?
A.It should be very dry.B.The stronger, the better.
C.The smaller the granules are, the better.D.It should be of a certain brand.
小題2:What can be inferred from the passage?
A.All kinds of materials can be used as fuels.
B.The Car-puccino will be put into the market soon.
C.Nick Watson is the designer of the Car-puccino
D.Much remains to be improved for the Car-puccino.
小題3:The Car-puccino has its disadvantages EXCEPT that ________.
A.it makes a lot of noise
B.it runs at a very high cost
C.it has to stop to be refueled very often
D.it’s not good enough for long-distance journey
小題4:How much ground coffee will be used to cover a distance of 126 miles in this car?
A.About 70 kilosB.About 42 kilos.C.About 32 kilosD.About 30 kilos
小題5:Why can coffee be used as a fuel?
A.It looks like wood or coal.B.It contains some carbon content.
C.It is very cheap.D.It is much better than woodchips or nut shells.

A good friend of mine was complaining about her son the other day.“Did you notice,” she started, “how he didn’t wait for me to get my salad before he dove into his?”
True enough, the boy attacked his plate faster than a cat in the wild.Without manners, we’re no more than animals.Actually, that’s not true.I’ve been watching and feeding a group of wild cats, and they show unusual politeness toward each other.Even when food is scarce, they take turns, leaving at least a small part for the next in line.
My mother educated her three children to have good manners all the time.We were made to feel very uncomfortable as if we were sitting on pins and needles until we got used to saying please, thank you, pardon me, and I’m sorry.And I have to say, while it was a painful learning experience, it was one of the most valuable.
I can’t tell you how often I sat with my friends, eating at their dinner tables, and their parents thought highly of my good manners.While it was a little embarrassing, I knew even then that my mother’s teachings were paying off.
Many years later, when I was attending seminars across the country, my manners were quite useful.
While I regret that I haven’t been a perfect example, I’m still working on it.I suppose, in this regard, my mother lives on through me.I didn’t have her beautiful singing voice or her green eyes, but she did make sure I received one of her finest characteristics.
小題1:What did the writer’s friend most probably complain about?
A.Her son’s eating too quickly.
B.Her son’s not having a healthy diet.
C.Her son’s not having good table manners.
D.Teenagers’ not having good manners.
小題2:The underlined word “scarce” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.
A.too muchB.not delicious
C.not enoughD.quite hot
小題3:We learn that the writer’s mother __________.
A.was strict about her children’s manners
B.never punished her children
C.had beautiful blue eyes
D.was not good at singing
小題4:What does the writer think of her experience of learning good manners?
A.Easy and relaxingB.Painful and valuable
C.Easy but uselessD.Too horrible
小題5:We can infer from the passage that the writer _________.
A.is surely liked by everyone around her
B.is not satisfied with most people’s manners around her
C.thinks she has been a perfect example to the young
D.thanks her mother for teaching her the good manners a lot

Packaging is an important form of advertising.A package can sometimes motivate someone to buy a product.For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that comes in a box with a picture of a TV character.The child is more interested in the picture than in breakfast food.Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or a small gift inside a box also motivate many children to buy products or to ask their parents to buy for them.
Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing.Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this.Although a similar product in a plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free.However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product.The size of a package also motivates a buyer.Maybe the package had “Economy Size” or “Family Size” printed on it.This suggests that the larger size has the most product for the least money.But that is not always true.To find it out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit.
The information on the package should provide some answers.But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement.The words and pictures do not tell the whole story.Only the product inside can do that.
小題1:From the passage we know the buyer pays more attention to __________.
A.the size of a container
B.a container with attractive picture
C.a well-designed container
D.a plain container with low cost
小題2:What suggestion does the author give in the passage?
A.It’s not good to buy the product which is sold in a glass or dish.
B.The quality of a container has nothing to do with the quality of the product.
C.The best choice for a buyer is to buy a product in a plain package.
D.A buyer should buy what he needs most rather than a well-designed package.
小題3:What is the best title for the passage?
A.How to Package a Product.
B.How to Make an Advertisement.
C.How to Sell Product.
D.How to Treat the Package Wisely.

Johnny was a cashier (收銀員) in a large store. Every night when he came home from work, he would find a saying for the day and print it out on fifty pages of paper. Johnny would cut out each saying and sign his name at the bottom of each one. Then he would put them in a paper bag and put the bag beside him at work. Each time he finished bagging someone’s purchases, he would put one of his saying pieces in the customer’s bag as well. It touched me to think that this young man —with a job that most people thought not important —had made it important by creating precious memories for all of his customers. A month later the store manager called me and said, "Barbara, you won’t believe what happened today. When I went up to where the cashiers were, I found Johnny’s line was three times longer than anyone else’s! So I got more cashiers out there and opened more lanes (通道), but no one would move. They all said they wanted Johnny’s saying for the day." The store manager continued, "I got a lump in my throat when a woman came up to me and said, 'I used to shop at your store only once a week, but now I come in every time I go by for Johnny’s sayings.’" A few months later, the store manager called me again. "Johnny has changed our store completely," he said. "All of our cashiers now have their own personal signatures (簽名). Everyone’s having a lot of fun creating good memories. Our customers are talking about us in a good way and are coming back with their friends."
1. How did Johnny deal with his saying pieces?
A. He put them in customers’ pockets.
B. He had others hand them to customers.
C. He put them in customers’ shopping bags.
D. He handed them to customers before they left.
2. With those sayings Johnny ___________.
A. drew the other cashiers’ attention to himself
B. got paid more than before
C. made good memories for his customers
D. encouraged himself to work harder
3. What did the store manager see a month later?
A. All of his cashiers had their own personal signatures.
B. Many customers chose Johnny’s lane to pay for their goods.
C. The store went out of order because there were too many customers.
D. Customers asked for Johnny’s sayings instead of buying goods.
4. The underlined part in the passage showed the store manager _________.
A. didn’t know why this happened
B. felt a little uncomfortable
C. felt extremely sad
D. was moved by what Johnny had done
