A
Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route―through the boot(行李箱).
Mr. Johnson’s car had
finished up in a ditch(溝渠) at Romney Marsin,
Mr. Johnson, a sweet
salesman of
Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”
It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up.”
His hands and arms cut and bruised(擦傷), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket, he said, “That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” Only the tips of the car wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.
41. What is the best title for this newspaper article?
A. The Story of Mr. Johnson, A Sweet Salesman

43. Which statement is true according to the passage?
A. Mr. Johnson’s car stood on its boot as it fell down.
B. Mr. Johnson could not escape from the door because it was full of sweet jam.
C. Mr. Johnson’s car accident was partly due to the slippery road.

The common cold is the world’s most widespread illness, which is plagues(疫病) that flesh receives.
The most widespread fallacy(謬誤) of all is that colds caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses(病毒) passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.
During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches(戰壕), cold and wet, showed no increased tendency to catch colds.
In the Second World War
prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp(奧斯維辛集中營), naked and starving, were astonished to find that
they seldom had colds. At the Common Cold Research Unit in
If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter？Despite the most pains-taking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.
No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors(止痛片) such as aspirin, but all they do is relieve the symptoms(癥狀).
46. The writer offered _______ examples to support his argument.
A. 4 B.
47. Which of the following does not agree with the chosen passage?
A. The Eskimos do not suffer from colds all the time.
B. Colds are not caused by cold.
C. People suffer from colds just because they like to stay indoors.
D. A person may catch a cold by touching someone who already has one.
48. Arctic explorers may catch colds when _______.
A. they are working in the isolated arctic regions
B. they are writing reports in terribly cold weather
C. they are free from work in the isolated arctic regions
D. they are coming into touch again with the outside world
49. Volunteers taking part in the experiments in the Common Cold Research Unit _______.
A. suffered a lot B. never caught colds
C. often caught colds D. became very strong
50. The passage mainly discusses _______.
A. the experiments on the common cold
B. the fallacy about the common cold
C. the reason and the way people catch colds
D. the continued spread of common colds
C
Have you seen the film Star Wars? If you have, you’ll know what an energy-gun is, and a light-sword too. The gigantic space ship in Star Wars can destroy a whole planet in a second or two, and it does so. Fortunately, it isn’t our planet; it belongs to a distant system, far out in space.
The great empty spaces of the universe are no problem in star Wars. The fighters know how to fold space over, like a sheet of paper, so that very distant stars are brought close together; they call it “hyperspace”. This means, of course, that their ships don’t have to creep along at the speed of light. If they did that, they would take years, even centuries, to reach the battlefield. Hyperspace allows them to travel as “supralight” speed and get there in a couple of hours. It’s good clean fun (健康無害的娛樂) though.
We certainly don’t know all about physics yet, but we do have the work of Albert Einstein. He asked us to believe that nothing could travel faster than light through an empty space ? but don’t let that miserable idea spoil the film for you, even though all our observations up to now have shown that Einstein was dead right ? forget it. Sit back and watch those energy ? shells blow up the hated enemy. The Star Wars princess is extremely beautiful.
The more we “discover”, the more we must admire
Einstein. He knew it all before us ??? by about
So far as scientific theory or evidence is concerned, there is no such thing as hyperspace, no such speed as supralight. Space is as we know it, and light speed is the highest possible speed. “But,” say the story-writers, “that’s only true at present. We don’t know all about physics yet. Who knows???who knows if there isn’t another set of facts just waiting to be discovered; another universe perhaps, just round the corner?”
Einstein seems to have been prepared for that too. In his theories he emphasized the word “relative”. Everything ? speed, weight, time, etc. ? is relative to something else. Nothing, by itself is real or absolute. So if there is another universe somewhere, we shall only know about it relative to ourselves. So far there’s no sign of it. But for the future, well, who knows?
51. What is the purpose of science ? fiction stories and films?
A. They point out the way ahead, and scientists are grateful.
B. They encourage us in our searching for the truth.
C. They show us what the future universe will be like.
D. They are written and made to entertain us.
52. If you see Star Wars, what might spoil it for you, according to the passage?
A. Einstien’s theories.
B. The uncomfortable surroundings of the theatre.
C. The ugly actress and actors.
D. The rude audience.
53. The increase in weight that Einstein predicted
A. applies only to big things, like huge space - ships
B. is apparent only to the stationary observer
C. is a real increase
D. remains even after the objective has stopped moving
54. Einstein’s theories emphasized .
A. everything is relative to something else
B. the universe is infinite
C. ight speed is the highest possible speed
D. there is another universe somewhere
55. Although Einstein did not observe the behavior of high ? speed objects, .
A. his theories predicted they travels at light speed
B. his theories predicted them with great accuracy
C. he knew they would be discovered
D. he predicted them in the year 1910

In this materialistic world money is often considered the most valuable thing. But I agree that reading books is more valuable than anything else, for it can benefit us in many ways. The old saying “To open a book is always beneficial” shows how good reading is.
First of all, reading is a very important way to gain knowledge. By reading we can get to know whatever we need. We just owe most of our knowledge to the books we have read.
Secondly, reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life. It increases our joy when we are in high spirits, and lessens our trouble when we are discouraged. Whatever may be our purpose in reading, our contact with good books may always bring us enjoyment and satisfaction. Many people find examples in good books to follow, and their choice of future vocations is to a great extent influenced by the books they have read.
Thirdly, good books serve as gentle companions or faithful friends that will never betray us. While reading good books, we do not feel lonely. They are ready to give us whatever we need such as knowledge, friendship and encouragement.
Finally, reading books is also an experience of visiting famous places, getting familiar with various people, and enriching our knowledge. And it is a process of keeping ourselves well informed so that we may become well qualified for our work. Therefore, It is necessary for everybody to read good books.
