第一節(jié)（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）
It was getting dark when Lisa was returning from teaching out in a small community. She’d been traveling the same route for over a year and there was seldom traffic on this highway.
Lisa remembered back to her previous experiences. In those days she was constantly picking up strangers on the road. Her family became greatly concerned about her safety, but she continued the practice until the day her sister told her that one of her friends had been shot by a hitchhiker (搭便車者). That was when the family heard the promise, “No more hitchhikers, I promise!”
When she thought back to these things, she suddenly noticed that a car was parked on the road ahead. Then she saw a man waving. He was in trouble, she thought. But suddenly she remembered the promise. She knew this road well and the chances of another car coming along to help were very little. Now as the man ran toward her car she shook with fear, and didn’t know if he was truly in need. She could not leave him here in this storm. The stranger explained that his car was broken. She knew she had to break the promise. She told him to get in. They drove for an hour into the next city and she took him to a telephone box. She waited until he had made a call. When he reported back to her that a family member would soon be there for him, she wished him well and left.
Tears fell on her cheeks as she drove away. It felt as though she had been holding her breath for an hour. “I hope they’ll understand why I had to break my promise.” 
56. We can learn from the text that Lisa promised______.
A. not to pick up free riders on her way home
B. not to drive home alone when it was late
C. to help those whose cars were broken
D. to learn from the friend of her sister’s 
57. Which of the following can best describe Lisa?
A. Careful and serious         B. Faithful and clever   
C. Kind and helpful           D. Brave and patient
58. What was Lisa’s attitude toward her breaking the promise?
A. It was very serious.          
B. It should be forgiven    
C. She was too nervous to go home. 
D. She felt regretful about her mistakes.
59. What would be the best title for the text?

We all know that language can sometimes get lost in translation. But do you know that some facial小題1:may also be小題2:in cross-cultural situations?
According to a study by Glasgow University, Europeans look小題3: a person's whole face 小題4:people from East Asia focus 小題5:on the eyes. Researchers recorded the eye movements of 13 Westerners and 13 Easterners as they observed pictures of expressive faces. They were asked to小題6:the pictures into the following categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral.
 The team found East Asians focus much more attention on the eyes and also make a  小題7:number of mistakes. Different from Europeans, they小題8: to have a more difficult time  小題9: the difference between a face that looks fearful as opposed to surprised, and disgusted as opposed to angry.
 "Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth小題10:, whereas Easterners小題11:the eyes and neglect the mouth," said researcher Rachael Jack. "This means that Easterners have小題12: in telling apart facial expressions that look similar around the eye region."
 Jack said that the differences in eye movement reflected a cultural小題13:in the way people use their faces to express themselves. Easterners use the eyes more and the mouth 小題14: .
 The difference in the use of text message "emoticons" (表情符號)小題15: the idea. Easterners use the eyes to小題16: emotion, for example "^-^" for happy and "┬_┬" for sad. Westerners,小題17:, use the mouth, for example ":-)" for happy and ":-(" for sad.
 The researchers said their results showed communication between people is much more小題18: than previously thought. When it 小題19: communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners can find themselves小題20: in translation.
小題21:  
A．expressions B．a(chǎn)ppearances C．featuresD．differences
小題22:
A．interesting B．confusing C．outstanding D．surprising
小題23:

Crossroads International
1．How does Crossroads work?
Crossroads is a resource network．We take goods Hong Kong doesn’t want and give them to people who badly need them．We collect those goods and give them out in the welfare arena （福利院） in Hong Kong, Mainland China, elsewhere in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa．  71 
2．Who do we help?
  72 They are grass-root groups who have seen a need and tried to meet it．They can’t get the job done without back-up, though, so our task is to help them do their task．Our warehouse is full of goods, from computers to high chairs, clothing to books, stationery to medical provision, cupboards to dining sets．They send us a list of their needs and we try to match it with the resource we have in stock．
3．  73 
Crossroads itself also operates on a low budget．We do not buy the goods we send．They are donated．  74  Nobody in our organization receives a salary．Even our full-time staff work on a voluntary basis．
Those that donate goods and services:
●Factories             ●Manufacturers
●Hospitals             ●Hotels
●Educational Institutions      ●Householders
●Transport Companies   ●Offices
●Other Charities
  75 While we receive large quantities of goods and there is never a short supply of requests for them, we are always in need of hands to help sort and prepare them for shipping．
A．One resource that we are always in need of is people．
B．So Crossroads is just that: a Crossroads between need and resource．
C．What can I do?
D．The welfare agencies we help do not run on large budgets．
 E．How do we operate?
 F．All volunteer work is done at our warehouse．
 G．Similarly, rather than raising funds for freight （貨運(yùn)）, we ask transport companies to donate their services．

A new study has found that it may be possible to train people to be more intelligent, increasing the brainpower they had at birth.
Until now, it has been widely assumed that the kind of mental ability that allows us to solve new problems without having any relevant previous experience — what psychologists call fluid intelligence—is innate and cannot be taught（though people can raise their grades on tests of it by practicing）.
But in the new study, researchers describe a method for improving this skill, along with experiments to prove it works.
The key, researchers found, was carefully structured training in working memory—the kind that allows memorization of a telephone number just long enough to dial it. This type of memory is closely related to fluid intelligence, so the researchers reasoned that improving it might lead to improvements in fluid intelligence.
First they measured the fluid intelligence of four groups of volunteers using standard tests. Then they trained each in a complicated memory task—the child’s card game, in which they had to recall a card they saw and heard. During the course, they needed to ignore irrelevant items, monitor ongoing performance, manage two tasks at the same time and connect related items to one another in space and time.
The four groups experienced a half-hour of training daily for 8, 12, 17 and 19 days, respectively. To make sure they were not just improving their test-taking skills, the researchers compared them with control groups that took the tests without the training.
The results, published Monday in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, were striking. Improvement in the trained groups was a lot greater. Moreover, the longer they trained, the higher their scores were. All performers, from the weakest to the strongest, showed significant improvement.
“Our results show you can increase your intelligence with proper training.” said Dr Jaeggi, a co-author of the paper. No one knows how long the gains will last after training stops, he added, and the experiment’s design did not allow the researchers to determine whether more training would continue to produce further gains.
64. The researchers thought the key to improving the intelligence was______.
A. memorizing telephone numbers                   B. improving working memory
C. training in concentration                               D. recalling a card
65. The following aspects of the training help increase intelligence Except_______.
A. ignoring irrelevant items                          B. monitoring ongoing performance
C. managing two tasks at the same time                D. using previous experience
66. When the experiment was conducted, the researchers ______.
A. trained the four groups for the same period of time
B. only made comparisons between the four groups
C. compared the four groups with control groups           D. trained the four groups together
67. By writing the article, the writer intends to_____.
A. inform the readers of a new study              
B. call on people to be trained to increase intelligence
C. prove one’s born brainpower can be improved
D. tell people the improved intelligence will last forever

He was working on an assignment on the war in Iraq and he wished to experience his subject matter first-hand. 
Hassan’s parents were born in Iraq, but he does not speak any Arabic, making him easily stand out as a foreigner in Iraq, where kidnappings(綁架)of Americans and violence are an everyday occurrence. His parents planned to take him to see Iraq once the war was over.

Beliefs form a big part of our lives. Successful people have always believed that they can be and will be successful in their lives, such as Michael Phelps. Many of us have seen Michael Phelps win 8 gold medals in a single Olympic Games. That has created a history for himself. Many people have admired his success and the first reaction in their mind will be, “ Wow, how I wish I could be like him!” Have you ever wondered what brought him success?
In fact, anyone can achieve what they have wanted to achieve. It is about beliefs. Everyone is a born winner. It is this belief that drives an individual to be successful in his  or her own field. All successful individuals have strong beliefs and it is one of the bases  for their success. If we start to believe in ourselves, the things that we can achieve will definitely give us a pleasant surprise. 
Other than having a strong belief, it is the attitude that drives the individual to create their own history. The devotion towards themselves and the drive must also be present. Imagine having a strong belief in oneself and having a poor attitude towards life. Then how would that individual turn out to be? One’s attitude comprises the drive, the devotion and the desire to achieve his goals. If one has strong beliefs about the goals that he can achieve and he displays good attitudes towards them, it would be no surprise to anyone that he will be able to achieve his goals.
Start believing in yourself and you will achieve your goals and with the right positive attitude, you will definitely be able to create the miracle that you have always dreamt of.
60.Which of the following is the best summary of Paragraph2?

Students will need to use all of their skills in order to understand the reading selections in Reader’s Choice. 
 71    These selections provide practice on employing different reading skills to get the message of the writer. They also give students practice in four basic reading skills: skimming, scanning, reading for thorough comprehension, and critical reading. 
Skimming involves reading quickly through a text to get an overall idea of its contents. This kind of rapid reading is suitable when you are trying to decide if careful reading is desirable or    72  
Like skimming, scanning is also quick reading. However, in this case the search is more    concentrated.    73    When you read to find a particular date, or number you are scanning. 
Reading for thorough comprehension is carefully reading in order to understand the total   meaning of the passage. At this level of comprehension the reader is able to summarize the author’s ideas    74   .
Critical reading demands that a reader makes judgments about what he or she reads. This kind of reedit requires posting and answering questions such as “    75   ”, “Do I share the author’s point of view?” and “Am I convinced by the author’s arguments and evidence?
A．Does my own experience support that of the author?
B．Reader’s Choice is one of the most popular magazines in the world.
