第二部分：閱讀理解(共15小題：每小題2分, 滿分30分)

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, 并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

The ability to do several things at once has become one of the great measures of self-worth for 21-century Americans. It is called multitasking, and it takes many forms. As one example, why go out to lunch when you can eat at your desk, talk to a client on the phone, scroll through your e-mail, and scan a memo simultaneously? And why simply work out on treadmill (單調(diào)的工作) when you could be watching television and talking on a portable phone at the same time? What a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment --- three activities for the time commitment of one! Ah, such efficiency. No wonder those who turn “to do” lists into a time-management art form tend to boast (自夸): “Look, me, how many things I can accomplish at once. If I’m this busy, I must be important.”

Yet last week the New York Assembly struck a blow against multitasking, at least behind the wheel, when it approved a bill banning drivers in the state from using handheld cellular phones. Too dangerous, the assembly said, citing research showing that drivers are four times more likely to have a collision when they are talking on a cellphone.

No one can argue against using time effectively. But accompanying the supposed gains are losses. Consider the woman out for an early-morning walk in a suburban neighborhood. She strides briskly, head down, cellphone clamped to her ear, chattering (喋喋不休) away, oblivious of the birds and flowers and glorious sunshine. Did the walk have any value?

More than a decade ago, long before multi-tasking became a word in everyday use, a retired professor of theology(神學) in Indiana with whom I corresponded (通信) made a case for what might be called uni-tasking — the old-fashioned practice of doing one thing at a time.

Offering the simplest example, he said, “When you wash the dishes, wash the dishes.” Good advice, I’ve found, whatever the task.

Perhaps, too, the ban on phoning-on-the-road will even spark a move away from other forms of dual activity. Who can tell? It could mark the first step in a welcome reconsideration of what really constitutes productivity and accomplishment.

1. The author thinks that multitasking has become one of the great measures of self-worth because ________.

A. it helps people to use time effectively                   

B. it makes people feel they are important

C. it means the ability to do several things at once     

D. people worship speed and desire

2. The bill approved by the New York Assembly is mentioned in the second paragraph in order to ________.

A. demonstrate the danger of multitasking                

B. show the high efficiency of multitasking

C. introduce the legislation system in America   

D. argue against using time effectively

3. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “oblivious” in the third paragraph?

A. serious                     B. absorbed deeply      

       C. not noticing                     D. forgetting

4. We learn from the passage that uni-tasking is ________.

A. the new fashion for 21-century Americans            

B. accepted by most residents in Indiana

C. created by a retired professor of theology

D. the traditional act of doing one thing at once

5. In the eyes of the author, multi-tasking ________.

A. could not be avoided in this fast-changing age

B. should be taken the place of by uni-tasking

C. robs people of time to focus and reflect

D. should not become a word in everyday use

Before the earthquake in China’s Sichuan Province, 38-year-old Sarah Bexell was working to develop a new environmental consciousness among Chinese people and to encourage them to protect wildlife and habitat -- in particular, that of the giant panda.

Bexell, an American who is the director of conservation(對自然資源的保護) education at the Chengdu Research Base for Giant Panda Breeding, has spent a lot of time teaching young people the value of protecting the environment.

“The younger generation in China can afford to care,” Bexell said before the earthquake. “They’re not starving. They have food, good jobs, and access to education.”

Now, Bexell worries about the people she has been working with and who are up in the mountains. She doesn’t know whether they and their families are safe. And she knows the work to which she is devoted has become more urgent (急迫的) during the immediate crisis.

Bexell and her Chinese workmates have been trying to spread the message that the tourist boom, population growth, and pillaging (掠奪) of resources form terrible threats to the environment.

There are stories of pandas wandering out of the forest and into villages. This is a troubling sign for what should be a rare species.

To make matters worse, there are fears that with the earthquake and landslides, bamboo could massively die off. That’s the main food source for the giant pandas, whose habitat was already damaged.

In April, Bexell went into the Longxi-Hongkou National Nature Reserve（保護區(qū)）. The reserve was set up in 1997 to protect the giant panda and its habitat. It was very near the epicenter(震中), so this area suffered serious damage. Now she is always thinking about the healing and rebuilding, and she believes that the education of rebuilding the balance of nature together with the local people is in great need after this disaster.

68. Bexell is devoted to________ in Sichuan Province.

A. protecting giant pandas       

B. environment-protection education

C. research on people’s lives 

D. research on the environment after earthquakes

69. The main threats to the wildlife and the environment are the following EXCEPT ________.

A. population growth              B. tourist development 

C. the massive death of bamboo      D. the overuse of resources

70. We can infer from what Bexell says that ________.

    A. She’s quite hopeful for her cause in the future

B. many young people in China are usually selfish

C. rich people should spend more on young people’s education

D. China is ready yet for animal and environmental protection

71. What is the best title for the passage?

    A. Quake makes pandas more dangerous

    B. Quake makes conservation education in great need

    C. Sarah Bexell, a fighter against earthquake

    D. Younger generation can do more after the earthquake
