There are more than 50 different kinds of kangaroos in the world today. The smallest ones are only five
centimeters tall but the biggest are more than two meters. Kangaroos cannot walk or run. They

jump. The best time to see kangaroos 32 is the evening and early morning. They spend the daytime
33 in the shade.
Straight after they are born, the joeys (baby kangaroos), which are only about two-and-a-half
centimeters long, have to drag themselves to their mother’s 34 . They find their way there by
35
the pattern of their mother’s hairs. They stay in the pouch
36 they are eight months old. After that,
they leave home 37 . Sometimes the joeys aren’t too 38 on making their way in the big wide
world. A 50 pound joey, for example, was once found still living in its mother’s pouch.
Have you ever 39 why these animals are called “kangaroos”? Well, according to one story, when

第 41 ㉃45 題為題組
Two years ago, when we just moved into town, my daughter Amy came to ask me whether she could
keep a pet puppy, because she needed to write a science report on that topic. 41 After several trips to
pet shops, we finally decided on a Dalmatian and named him Derek.
The first two months were encouraging. 42 When I cooked dinner, he would take a walk with
our daughter; a few times, Derek miraculously found his way home when Amy got lost. To reward him, we
allowed him to eat at the table or to sleep with us.
But problems soon began after the science report. Many times, the spoiled puppy ruined our meals.
And I started to feel irritated when Derek licked my cheek at dawn. 43 Finally, I thought it was time to
get rid of the animal.
I remember it was a Friday afternoon. I drove around for 10 minutes and left Derek in a park.
44
The next day, with the help of a map, I left the doggie 30 minutes away, but Derek beat me home again. So,
on Sunday, I took him on a long drive, arbitrarily turning left and right and making U-turns. I did everything
I could to throw off his sense of direction.

第46 ㉃49 題為題組
There is a lot to see and do in Bangkok if you can tolerate the traffic, noise, heat (in the hot season),
floods (in the rainy season), and somewhat polluted air. The city is incredibly urbanized, but beneath its
modern appearance lies an unmistakable Thai-ness. To say that Bangkok is not Thailand, as has been
claimed by some, is like saying that New York is not America, Paris is not France, or London is not England.
Bangkok caters to diverse interests: there are temples, museums and other historic sites for those interested
in traditional Thai culture; an endless variety of good restaurants, clubs, international cultural and social
events, as well as movies in several different languages and a modern art institute for those seeking
contemporary Krung Thep, the Thai name for Bangkok. As William Warren, an American author now living
in Thailand, has said, “The gift Bangkok offers me is the assurance I will never be bored.”
46. What is the main idea of this passage?
(A) The city of Bangkok is urbanized but it is also rich in traditional Thai culture.
(B) Visitors to Bangkok might find the weather, the heat, and floods unbearable.
(C) Bangkok is an international city, just like Paris, London, and New York.
(D) There are a variety of restaurants and social events in Bangkok.
47. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as one of the problems that visitors might find
in Bangkok?
(A) Heavy traffic (B) Dirty air (C) Hot weather (D) Dense population
48. What can we infer from William Warren’s comment on Bangkok at the end of the passage?
(A) Bangkok is a place where visitors can buy many souvenirs.
(B) Bangkok offers attractive travel insurance to visitors.
(C) Bangkok is an exciting place to visit.
(D) Bangkok reminds Warren of home.
49. According to the passage, which of the following places is the LAST CHOICE for a visitor who wishes
to explore modern Krung Thep?
(A) Temples (B) Restaurants
(C) The art institute (D) Movie theaters

第50 ㉃53 題為題組
Michael Jackson provoked new concerns for his children’s welfare after he took them to the zoo
covered in strange, bright-colored veils “to protect them from kidnappers.”
The pop star was pictured walking through Berlin Zoo with his two elder children, Prince Michael, five,
and Paris, four.
Both youngsters had their faces completely covered in outlandish see-through burgundy-colored
veils—a choice of dress which Jackson’s aides said was designed to disguise the youngsters to protect them
from being kidnapped. But as they wandered through the zoo with their famous father, it seemed an unlikely
explanation.
The rare appearance came just 24 hours after the singer provoked outrage by dangling his youngest
child, baby Prince Michael II, from the fourth-floor balcony of a hotel window.
The nine-month-old boy’s face was covered with a white cloth, which was again said to be a
precautionary measure taken by the star to protect his children from becoming kidnappers’ targets.
As people across the world criticized Jackson as an unfit father, child protection groups called on
German police to take action against the pop legend. However, Berlin prosecutors said they were not
investigating the incident, and an inquiry could only be opened if a complaint was filed against Jackson.
50. This passage is most likely taken from a __________ .
(A) personal letter (B) travel brochure (C) research paper (D) newspaper report
51. What did Michael Jackson do at Berlin Zoo that caught people’s attention?
(A) He was involved in the kidnapping of two children named Prince and Paris.
(B) He covered his children in veils to prevent them from being kidnapped.
(C) He tried to protect his children from kidnappers by hiding them in the zoo.
(D) He wandered through the zoo with his face covered in a strange cloth.
52. What does “precautionary measure” mean in the passage?
(A) A calculation done with great precision.
(B) A plan carefully designed to achieve a goal.
(C) A step taken to avoid some bad consequences.
(D) A mathematical problem prepared with extreme care.
53. According to the passage, German police could take action against Michael Jackson only when
__________.
(A) Berlin prosecutors were investigated (B) more veils were used to cover the youngsters
(C) an official complaint was made against him (D) child protection groups called the police again
第54 ㉃60 題為題組
Since the terrorist attack on America on September 11, hundreds of new security measures have been
put in place to make Americans safer, or at least feel safer. Hotels and corporate offices now require guests
to present a photo ID at check-ins and entrances. Airlines refuse to let passengers carry razor blades, scissors,
or screwdrivers on flights.
At least one surefire way exists to improve security and protect personal privacy: positive passenger
bag-matching. It would require that no checked bag be transported on a plane if its owner doesn't board the
flight. Bag-matching became standard practice in Europe and Asia in the 1980s after suitcase bombs brought
down Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Air India Flight 182 en route to London, and UTA Flight 772 to
Paris. In all three cases, the terrorists weren't on board.
Yet, in the U.S., where security is now top priority, authorities have chosen to ignore bag-matching.
Instead, the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) has embraced largely untested electronic-detection
systems that screen bags for bombs and other explosives. Critics charge that the TSA has overlooked such

an obvious, sensible security measure because U.S. airlines have opposed bag-matching for years. They fear
it might delay flights and persuade short-haul travelers to take a train or drive instead.
After September 11, bag-matching was back on the agenda. Yet, struggling airlines complained that
implementing it on all domestic flights would drive them into bankruptcy. Such claims have zero merit, says
Arnold Barnett, a former chair of the Federal Aviation Administration's technical team. In 1996, the team
was asked to investigate the feasibility of bag-matching. In a 1997 experiment, which tested 11 airlines, 50
pairs of cities, 8,000 flights, and 750,000 passengers, Barnett showed that domestic bag-matching would
cause delays averaging seven minutes on only one in seven flights and would require no reduction in flight
schedules.
Barnett argues that bag-matching would deter bombers far more than electronic-detection systems. It
ensures that the terrorist will proceed to the gate to board his plane. If, while he's waiting, detection devices
reveal a bomb, he could be quickly located and arrested. “The combination of bag-matching and explosives
detection could be far more potent than either measure on its own,” Barnett wrote in a Dec. 17 letter to TSA
chief. He received a thank-you note that contained no indication that the TSA is contemplating action.
54. According to the passage, Pan Am Flight 103, Air India Flight 182, and UTA Flight 772 were similar in
that __________.
(A) they were brought down by terrorist attacks
(B) they crashed because some terrorists were on board
(C) they were the only international flights that crashed in 1980
(D) they crashed because they didn’t follow airline security measures
55. In which paragraph can the definition of bag-matching be found?
(A) Paragraph 1 (B) Paragraph 2 (C) Paragraph 3 (D) Paragraph 4
56. Which of the following is one of the reasons that airlines were unwilling to implement bag-matching on
their flights?
(A) Electronic-detection systems cost less than bag-matching.
(B) Electronic-detection systems worked better in preventing hijacking.
(C) Bag-matching would delay flights and discourage people from taking airplanes.
(D) Bag-matching would invade passengers’ privacy rather than ensure their security.
57. What is one important finding of Barnett’s experiment on bag-matching and flight schedules?
(A) Bag-matching on domestic flights resulted in seven-minute delays in only one-seventh of the flights.
(B) Bag-matching forced airlines to reduce their schedules and to sacrifice the quality of their service.
(C) Bag-matching, when tested on 11 airlines, proved to be ineffective and inconvenient for passengers.
(D) Bag-matching caused domestic flights to change their schedules and to reduce their frequency of
service.
58. The pronoun
he (he could be…) in the last paragraph most likely refers to ________.
(A) Arnold Barnett (B) a potential terrorist
(C) a security guard at the gate (D) an ordinary passenger boarding the plane
59. What can we infer from the last sentence in the passage (He received a thank-you note that contained no
indication that the TSA is contemplating action.)?
(A) The TSA appreciated Barnett’s help and welcomed his suggestions.
(B) The TSA took Barnett’s advice seriously and put it into practice.
(C) The TSA invited Barnett to come to work with them.
(D) The TSA did not plan to implement Barnett’s ideas.
60. The passage was written mainly to ________.
(A) point out the necessary trade-offs between privacy and security
(B) highlight the TSA’s mission to improve airline security
(C) argue for bag-matching as an effective security measure
(D) advocate the use of electronic-detection systems
