1.B 推理題。根據文章3,4行"It's a nice job most of time. You meet a lot of people. I always work at night, because there is too much traffic during the day.可知白天倫敦的交通很擁擠，他就在晚上出來工作，故B正確。
2.D 細節題。根據she found that she had lost her key. So I waited in the car with the dog while she climbed in through the windows." 可知她沒有帶鑰匙，所以只好翻墻而進。故D正確。
3.B 細節題。根據"Some very strange things happened late at night .The other day I was taking a woman home from a party .She had her little dog with her. When we got to her house, she found that she had lost her key. So I waited in the car with the dog while she climbed in through the windows." 可知他是在講述一件夜里發生的事情。故B正確。

On March 5, 2009, Michael Jackson stood in front of crowds of fans. Before screaming fans, he pronounced with pumping arms: “This is it!”
A few months later, Jackson was dead. With the late pop star’s return to radio, television and the cultural events, Forbes judges that Jackson has made $90 million since his death June 25. This figure is based on his royalties（版稅） from album sales, radio play, rights to his name and royalties from his stock in the Sony/ATV music catalog (編目權).
Jackson’s music was his most easily-seen source in the last months. “Nothing increases the value of an artist than death ... an untimely death,” says Barry Massarsky, a music industry economist.
The music’s immediate value was clear. Since June, Jackson has sold more than 5.9 million albums in the U.S. and another 4.5 million overseas. In the first weeks after his death, there were 5.6 million single downloads across North America, Europe and Australia. Jackson recently has three of the top 20 best-selling albums of the year in the US, according to Nielsen SoundScan. His 2003 hits album Number Ones is the best seller of the year, beating Taylor Swift’s Fearless.
More than 500,000 Jackson ringtones and 100,000 music videos were sold. In the week following his death, songs by The Jackson 5, The Jacksons and Michael were played over 100,000 times on the radio, according to Nielsen BDS.
Jackson’s estate（遺產）will likely see more money by the end of this year, as it has rights to some of the profits from This Is It as well as the two-disc album of the same name. The estate will share 90% of the film profits with AEG.
Ticket sales from an exhibit opening in London will also contribute a likely profit. Hundreds of Jackson’s personal belongings－his L.A. Rolls Royce etc－will remain on show for three months at the O2 for fans willing to shell out $25 for a view.
The pop singer bought ATV Publishing, for $47.5 million in 1985. Ten years later, he sold the catalog to Sony for $95 million and took a 50% stock in Sony/ATV, which is now worth about $1.7 to $2 billion. So he still owned half the Sony/ATV catalog at his death.
Jackson’s future earning potential is based on his stock in valuable music and as well as the value of his image（肖像）. As many musicians, actors and artists before him, Jackson’s fame could have a long tail on the market with allowable products, advertising and entertainment events.
【小題1】What do Barry Massarsky’s words in Paragraph 3 imply?
| A．Jackson died at the time as expected. |
| B．Only at death can an artist become famous. |
| C．Jackson became more famous at death than when he was alive. |
| D．Jackson’s unexpected death raised his value as an artist immediately. |
| A．Jackson’s album Number Ones beat Taylor Swift’s Fearless in 2003. |
| B．Taylor Swift’s Fearless is the second best seller of music albums of 2009. |
| C．AEG takes in more film profits from “This is it” than Jackson’s estate. |
| D．More Jackson’s music videos were sold than his ringtones right after his death. |
| A．Jackson sold ATV catalog to Sony in 1985. |
| B．Jackson had half right of ATV Publishing at his death. |
| C．Jackson sold ATV catalog to Sony for $ 47.5 million in 1995. |
| D．Jackson’s stock in Sony/ATV now has a value of about $ 1.7 billion to 2 billion. |
| A．Why Michael Jackson’s music is so popular all over the world. |
| B．How Michael Jackson has earned $90 million in the months since his death. |
| C．What Michael Jackson’s future earning potential is based on. |
| D．How much Michael Jackson earned in the first few months after his death. |

第三部分閱讀理解（共20題，每小題2分，滿分40分）
Recently, tests have proved that Beethoven died from lead poisoning. Bill Walsh directed the Beethoven Research Project. Mr. Walsh and his team examined pieces of bone belonging to Beethoven. They found a large amount of lead in the bone pieces. They said the lead levels were equal to those found in pieces of his hair in earlier studies of other scientists.
Genetic tests proved the bone pieces and his hair came from Beethoven. The research also examined bone fragments from someone else who lived during the same period. Both were from the top of the skull. The fragments from Beethoven had more lead than those from other person. Their study didn’t find measurable levels of cadmium(鎘) or mercury(汞), which scientists used to consider were the causes of his health problems.
Beethoven was sick for much of his life. He experienced strong stomach pains, a sign of lead poisoning, and a change of personality when he was around 20. he also got angry easily, and suffered from depression and hearing loss. His health problems became worse as he grew older.
Walsh said the lead levels found in his skull suggested that the metal might have been present in his body for many years. He said although there had been recognized cases of deafness caused by lead poisoning, there was no strong evidence to suggest that lead poisoning was the cause of his deafness.
Beethoven visited many doctors to find a cure for his health problems, in a letter he wrote to a friend, he urged researchers to examine his body after he died so that other people would not have to suffer as he did.

A. suffer hearing loss B. get angry easily

A. this is the first research into the cause of Beethoven’s death
B. any amount of lead will do great harm to people’s health
C. more lead was found in Beethoven’s bones than in his hair
D. scientists used to think that his death was caused by other metals instead of lead
