A
In America, when people say “man’s best friend”, they don’t mean another person. Instead, they are talking about a lovely animal：A dog! These words show the friendship between people and animals. Dogs and other pets can give happiness to people’s lives. Some people think of their pets as their children. A few even leave all their money to their pets when they die!
Animals can help people, too. Dogs can be taught to become the“eyes”for a blind person or “ears”for a deaf person. Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier, too. Because of that, animals are brought into hospitals for “visit”.
Americans hold “Be-Kind-to-Animals Week”in the first week of May.
Pet shows are held during the week. Even if you don’t live in America, you, too, can do this. How? First, think about how animals make your life richer. If you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it delicious food. Also, be sure to keep your pet from those unwanted babies.
If you don’t have a pet, be kind to animals around you. For example, if you see a street dog, don’t kick (踢) it or throw things at it. Instead, just leave it alone, or better it yet, make friends with it. If others around you do bad things to an animal, try to stop them. As people, we must protect animals who can’t speak for themselves.
56. “A few even leave all their money to their pets when they die!” means that ________.
A. pets have the right to inherit (繼承) money B. money can give pets happiness
C. it’s the best way to spend money D. some pets are taken as children
57. Dogs are brought to hospitals
A. because they are ill and need to see doctors
B. because they can make the patients happier
C. because they can find out the problems of the patients
D. because doctors can do experiments on them.
58.The most popular activity in the “Be-Kind-to-Animals Week”is .
A. holding a pet show in the week B. playing with pets the whole week
C. cooking delicious food for pets D. making friends with other people’s pets
59. The passage is mainly about .
A. a lot of people are interested in dogs B. dogs can help people do many things
C. pets are lovely and need care and protection D. we have done a lot of things for pets

第三部分 閱讀理解（共20小題：每小題2.5分，滿分50分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。
Today, as in every other day of the year, more than 3000 U.S. adolescents will smoke their first cigarette on their way to becoming regular smokers as adults. During their lifetime, it can be expected that of these 3000 about 23 will be murdered, 30 will die in traffic accidents, and nearly 750 will be killed by a smoking-related disease. The number of deaths attributed to cigarette smoking outweighs all other factors, whether voluntary or involuntary, as a cause of death.
Since the late 1970s, when daily smoking among high school seniors reached 30 percent, smoking rates among youth have declined. While the decline is impressive, several important issues must be raised.
First, in the past several years, smoking rates among youth have declined very little. Second, in the late 1970s, smoking among male high school seniors exceeded that among female by nearly 10 percent. The statistic is reversing. Third, several recent studies have indicated high school dropouts have excessively high smoking rates, as much as 75 percent.
Finally, though significant declines in adolescent smoking have occurred in the past decade, no definite reasons for the decline exist. Within this context, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) began its current effort to determine the most effective measures to reduce smoking levels among youth.
36. According to the author, the deaths among youth are mainly caused by __________.
A. traffic accidents B. smoking-related disease
C. murder D. all of these
37. Every day there are over ______ high school students who will become regular smokers.
A. 750 B. 23 C. 30 D. 3000
38. By “dropout” the author means __________.
A. students who failed the examination B. students who left school
C. students who lost their way D. students who were driven out of school
39. The reason for declining adolescent smoking is that __________.
A. NCI has taken effective measures
B. smoking is prevented among high school seniors
C. there are many smokers who have died of cancer
D. none of these
40. What is implied but not stated by the author is that __________.
A. smoking rates among youth have declined very little
B. there are now more female than male smokers among high school seniors
C. high smoking rates are due to the increase in wealth
D. smoking at high school is from low socio-economic backgrounds

A teenage girl is fighting for her life today after being struck by lightning as severe thunderstorms swept across Britain. The girl was one of four teenage girls from London who were hit by lightning in the Parade Ground area of Hyde Park during a storm. Earlier, Joseph Wharton, 14, died as he was struck by lightning while camping in his friend’s backyard in the West Midlands.
A spokesman for Scotland Yard said the girl remained in serious condition at St. Mary’s Hospital in Paddington. She had stopped breathing by the time the first paramedic (護理人員) arrived on the scene just two minutes after the strike at 5:40 p.m. yesterday.
The other three girls hit by the bolt all had injuries, and were taken to University College Hospital. Their conditions were not serious, the spokesman added.
The strike lifted the girls into the air and then dropped them to the ground, a witness reported.
A spokesman for the London Ambulance Service said paramedics risked their lives to treat the girls. “The storm was still overhead and lightning was still coming down while they were treating the patients,” he said. “All staff involved acted very professionally in providing fast treatment to these patients in very difficult circumstances.” Scotland Yard said the incident was being looked into by officers from the Royal Parks’ Operational Command Unit.
Joseph Wharton of Byland Way, Bloxwich, was hit during the extended thunderstorm which struck the region yesterday morning. He was pronounced dead at Walsall Manor Hospital.
He had been sleeping in a tent while staying with school friend Michael Lees at a house on nearby Cresswell Crescent.
West Midlands Ambulance Service said paramedics were called at 7:50 a.m. and unsuccessful attempts were made to revive（使蘇醒）the sports-mad teenager. A spokesman for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents said four or five people die each year as a result of lightning strikes in the UK.
26、All four girls________.
A. were killed by the lightning B. were seriously injured
C. were being treated at the same hospital D. were lifted up and dropped to the ground

Everyone should learn to apologize. Apology languages do work. Have you ever tried to make an apology, only to be refused? It may be that you were offering partial apology in a “language” that was foreign to your listener. The five languages of apology include:
Apology Language 1: “I am sorry.”
List the hurtful effects of your action. NOT “I am sorry if…”, but “I am sorry that…”. You might ask if they want to add any points that you have not recognized.
Apology Language 2: “I was wrong.”
Name your mistake and accept your fault. Note that it is easier to say “You are right. ” than “ I am wrong.”, but the latter carries more weight.
Apology Language 3: “What can I do to make it right?”
How are you now? How shall I make amends for my mistake? How can I RESTORE YOUR CONFIDENCE that I love you even though I was so hurtful to you?
Apology Language 4: “I will try not to do that again.”
Engage in problem-solving. Do not make excuses for yourself such as: “Well, my day has just been so …” Instead, offer what you will change to prevent yourself putting them in the same bad situation again.
Apology Language 5: “Will you please forgive me?”
Be patient in seeking forgiveness. They may need some time or greater clarification of your input from Apology Languages 1-4.
Finally, your apology may not be accepted, but at least you know that you have been faithful in offering a sincere olive branch of peace.
49. According to the 1st paragraph, your apology may be refused mainly because ________.
A. your apology is not made loudly enough
B. your apology is not expressed well enough
C. your listeners can’t hear what you said clearly
D. your listeners can’t understand your language well
50. According to the author, which of the following expressions would be the LEAST acceptable while making an apology?
A. I am wrong. B. I am sorry that I hurt you.
C. I will try not to do that again. D. Well, my day has just been so upsetting.
51. What does the underlined phrase “make amends” (Paragraph 4) refer to?
A. make improvement B. make mistakes
C. make up for wrongdoing D. make up a conversation
52. What is the BEST title of the passage?
A. Tips for effective apologies B. Ways of refusing apologies
