五、閱讀測驗 (24%)
It is a natural thing in most cultures for people to be referred to by one or more nicknames. People usually get a nickname
from their parents, siblings, relatives, classmates, coworkers, or friends. While it is possible to get a nickname in many ways,
at some time in our lives most of us have probably been referred to by a “cute” form of our given name.
Infants and young kids in English-speaking countries commonly get cute nicknames by adding “y” or “ie” to the first part
of a multi-syllable name. Therefore a boy named Benjamin would probably be called Benny, and a girl called Jennifer would
be referred to as Jenny. Joseph, Donald, Catherine, and Christina would be called Joey, Donnie, Cathy, and Christie respectively.
However, when people grow older, they usually opt for a more mature-sounding form of their name. A person named
Robert at birth would likely go through his childhood being called Robby, but in adulthood, his friends and colleagues would
probably call him “Robert,” “Rob,” or even “Bob.” This is not always the case, though, as the example of world-famous movie
star Johnny Depp illustrates.
_____ 38.What is this passage about?
(A) The relation between nicknames and family names.
(B) The special meaning behind some nicknames.
(C) Some examples of common nicknames.
(D) Common ways of getting a nickname.

There are many different numeral systems in different cultures, including in China. Today, speakers of Chinese use three
numeral systems: Arabic numerals and two ancient Chinese numerical systems.
The first system of the ancient Chinese numerical systems is called Huama system. It is the only representative of the rod
numeral system still in use. This system has been popular only in Chinese markets, such as those in Hong Kong before the 1990s.
The second is the written numerical system, which has two forms and tends to be used in written texts. But most Chinese now use
the Arabic system for the sake of convenience.
There are two sets of characters for Chinese numerals: one for everyday writing and the other for use in financial contexts
known as dàxiě（大寫）. The latter arose because the characters used for everyday writing numerals are simple. A forger could
easily change the everyday characters 三十（30）to 五千（5000）by adding just a few strokes. That is not possible when we use
the dàxiě characters 叁拾（30）and 伍仟（5000）.
_____ 42.How many numeral systems do speakers of Chinese use?
(A) One. (B) Two. (C) Three. (D) Five.
_____ 43.Which numeral system was most probably used in Hong Kong markets before 1990s?
(A) Arabic numerals. (B) Chinese written numerals.
(C) Roman numerals. (D) Huama numerals.
_____ 44.There are two sets of characters for Chinese numerals: one for everyday use, and the other, dàxiě, for ________.
(A) financial contexts (B) economy
(C) the purpose of forgery (D) convenience
_____ 45.What is the purpose of using dàxiě?
(A) For the sake of convenience. (B) To prevent forgery.
(C) For being good-looking. (D) To make money.
I am a Christian. To us Christians, praying is a very important part of our life. Praying is telling God what is on
our minds. God wants to hear it in our own words even though He already knows it before we pray to Him. However, how
do we pray? There are five types of prayers. The first type of prayer is “praise.” We may call Him Almighty God, Lord of
Lords, King of Kings to tell Him how glorious He is. The second type is “thanksgiving,” in which we tell God how much we
thank Him for what He has done and offered us. The third type is “confession.” We tell God how sorry we are for doing
something wrong. The fourth type is “supplication,” which means asking for help. When we are in need or in trouble, we can
always ask God to give us strength, wisdom, or courage to deal with our problems. The final type is the prayer of “intercession.”
When our friends or family need help, we can pray to God and ask God to help with the tough situation that our friends or family are
faced with. Each type of prayer plays an important part in a Christian’s life.
