第三部分 閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40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。
A
When I was a child, our dining room had two kinds of chairs―two large ones with arm rests and four small ones without. The larger ones stood at the ends of the table, the smaller ones on the sides. Mom and Dad sat in the big chairs, except when one of us was away; then Mom would sit in one of the smaller chairs. Dad always sat at the end, at the “head” of the table. Sitting where he did, Dad was framed by the window through which the yard could be seen with its trees and grass. His chair was not just a place for him at the table; it was a place in which he was situated against the yard and trees. It was the holy (神圣的) and protected place that was his, and ours through him. w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m
After Dad retired, he and Mom moved out into a small flat. When they came to visit me at their old house, Dad still sat at the end of the table though the table was no longer his but mine. Only with my marriage to Barbara, did I hear a voice questioning the arrangement. She requested, gently but firmly, that I sit at the head of the table in our home. I realized then that I was head of the family, but I also felt unwilling to introduce such a change. How would I feel sitting in that “head” place in my Dad’s presence? And how would he handle it? I was to find out on the occasion of our youngest child’s first birthday.
Mom and Dad arrived for lunch, and went into the dining room. Dad moved toward his usual seat in front of the window. Before he could get around the side of the table, I took a deep breath and said, “Dad, this is going to be your place, next to Mom, on the side.” He stopped, looked at me and then sat down. I felt sad, and angry at Barbara for pushing me to do this. It would have been easy to say, “My mistake, Dad. Sit where you always sit.” But I didn’t.
When he and Mom were seated, Barbara and I took our places. I don’t know how Dad felt. I do know that, though removed from his usual place, he continued to share his best self with us, telling stories of his childhood and youth to the delight of his grandchildren. As I served the food, our lives experienced a change, which we continue to live with.
It wasn’t easy, but I sense that there is also something good in the change which has occurred. I am beginning to learn that “honoring one’s father” is more than the question of which place to occupy at the dining table. It also means listening, wherever we sit and whatever positions we own, to the stories Dad longs to tell. We may then, during these magical moments, even be able to forget about whose chair is whose.
56. Where did the writer’s mother sit when one of the children was away?
A. She didn’t change her chair. B. She moved her own chair next Dad’s.
C. She moved to an empty chair on the side. D. She sat opposite to Dad.
57. How did the writer feel when he told his father to sit on the side?
A. He didn’t feel bad because his father was going to sit there anyway.
B. He felt happy at having carried out the difficult task.
C. He was thoroughly satisfied with the new seating arrangement.
D. He regretted what he had done and wanted to blame his wife.
58. What happened during the meal after the family had all taken their new seats?
A. The writer’s children removed their grandfather from his usual place.
B. The writer’s father didn’t appear to mind where he sat.
C. The writer’s father shared his favorite dishes with the grandchildren.
D. They became tense and nervous about their future as a family.
59. What did the writer learn about “honoring one’s father”?
A. Fathers always long to tell stories about their early years.
B. Providing the right chair is the only way to honor one’s father.
C. Respect for one’s father doesn’t depend only on where he sits.
D. The family should dine together at the same table as often as possible.

We
continue our Foreign Student Series on higher education in the
Dorms come in all sizes. Some have suites. Six or more students may line in one suite. Other dorms have many rooms along a common hallway, usually with two students in each room . Many students say dormitories provide the best chance to get to know other students. Also, dorms generally cost less than apartments or other housing not owned by the school.
Most colleges and universities offer singe-sex dorms, but usually males and females live in the same building. They might live on the same floors and share the same common bathrooms. They may live in the same room only if they are married.
Edward
Spencer is the associate vice president for student affairs at Virginia Tech in
Virginia Tech, for example, had a ban against candles in dorms . But it changed that policy to let students light up candles for religious purposes. The university also has several dorms open all year so foreign students have a place to stay during vacation time.

They
once seemed more at home on the bustling streets of Asia like Delhi, Calcutta
and Bangkok but cycle powered rickshaws (人力車) can now
be seen taking people across town in many European cities. Many people believe
that rickshaws are a good way of experiencing a city, close-up, while also
cutting down on traffic jams and pollution. In
“It is completely environmentally friendly; we have new models with an engine to help the driver up the hills but they use renewable energy.” said a spokesman for VELOTAXI, the leading rickshaw company which has carried a quarter of a million people this year.
While
the city still has 7,000 motor-taxis, rickshaw company officials say their
taxis’ green ethics, speed and safety make them more than just a tourist
attraction. While now increasingly out of fashion in
“It’s
better than a taxi, better than a bus, better than the train,” said ULF Lehman,

Reading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most people．In fact, many people never read a poem once they get out of high school．
It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been the case in America．In the nineteenth century, a usual American activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and read poems aloud．It is true that there was no television at the time, nor movie theaters, nor World Wide Web, to provide diversion．However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyond one’s own community．Reading them was a social act as well as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than individual．Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poetry has a place in everyday life．
How did things change? Why are most Americans no longer comfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think that a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems?
There are, I believe, three culprits(肇事者)：poets, teachers, and we ourselves．Of these, the least important is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed us more than we have betrayed the poem．Early in the twentieth century, poetry in English headed into directions unfavorable to the reading of poetry．Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, and that they belonged where other difficult-to-read things belonged．
Poets failed the reader, so did teachers．They want their students to know something about the skills of a poem, they want their students to see that poems mean something. Yet what usually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their high school students is that young people decide poems are unpleasant crossword puzzles．
68. Reading poems is thought to be a social act in the nineteenth century because ．
A. it built a link among people B. it helped unite a community
C. it was a source of self-education D. it was a source of pleasure
69. The underlined word “diversion”(in Para2) most probably means “ ”．
A. concentration B. change C. amusements D. stories
70. According to the passage, what is the main cause of the great gap between readers and poetry?
A. Students are becoming less interested in poetry．w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m
B. Students are poorly educated in high school．
C. TV and the Internet are more attractive than poetry．
D. Poems have become difficult to understand．
71. In the last paragraph, the writer questions ．
A. the difficulty in studying poems
B. the way poems are taught in school
C. students’ wrong ideas about poetry
D. the techniques used in writing poem

It was 3:
The newly-passed law has left doctors as well as citizens trying to deal with its different meanings. Some have shown satisfaction, others, including churches, right-to-life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly fought against the law. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In Australia ― where an aging population, life-extending (延長生命) technology and changing society attitudes have all played their part ― other states are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia (安樂死). In the US and Canada, where the right-to-die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes (多米諾骨牌) to start falling.

A. the disagreement of euthanasia is slow to come in other countries

Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m a student from Xinhua University. I’m glad to learn that you want a few part-time English reporters. I’m quite interested in it.
I think I’m fit for the job. As a student, I’ve read a lot and have much knowledge in many fields. I’m fond of English and do well in both speaking and writing. Besides,I’m easy to get along with and enjoy working together with others. Above all, I once worked as a reporter for my school broadcasting station. So I’m sure I can do the job well if I can get the position.
I’m looking forward to an early reply ifpossible. And I’d appreciate it very much if you could call me at 13936925255.
Thank you very much.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
