Most writers find it difficult to find a subject to write on. A method frequently used to gather ideas is brainstorming.
The method has been used for many years in business. You get a group of people around a table, and they try to solve a
problem. The people simply start talking and 9 to each other, then ideas come out in the process. Brainstorming is
particularly valuable to the writer 10 it offers a technique for getting suggestions and leads for a subject. Most of us
brainstorm 11 . You start with something—anything—and with a pencil and paper y ou talk to y ourself. At first you
write down whatever comes to mind. But after a few phrases appear, you gently apply pressure and shape some of the
material as it 12 . Only when the ideas tend to get 13 should you come to a conclusion that may provide a
subject. This may not be your final subject, but at least it is a beginning.

During my high school years my best friend was Susan Miller, a girl who had lived down the street fro m me all her
life. We knew each other well and had many interests in common. One way in which we were different, however, was i n
our shopping habits. When I shopped, I always knew what I wanted, got it quickly, and left. For Susan, shopping was a
game. She spent all day at it: examining, comparing, and finally, if conditions were right, buying. All too often I have
spent hours waiting for her to make up her mind. In fact, my longest “shopathon” was on a Christmas Eve when Susan
and I went to pick up a few last-minute gifts. She wanted a fit for her father, and I had to get something for my youngest
sister, Sara. We started at 9:00 A.M., and by 10:15 I had bought Sara her gift, a toy Dalmatian. Then I just trudged
around the mall after Susan. By one o’clock she still had not made a purchase, and the mall was becoming human
gridlock. Finally feeling some compassion, Susan bought herself and me each a slice of pizza. We had to eat standing up;
the tables were all filled. Then, walking and walking through endless stores, we continued shopping. She examined
shirts, scarves, ties, knickknacks. Her response to every possibility was negative: her father had it, he wouldn’t like it,
this was too expensive, and that was too cheap. Nothing seemed right for Susan’s father. Finally, fifteen minutes before
the mall was scheduled to close, she came out of a store in triumph. “I got it!”she said. I looked up from where I was
sitting on a bench, rubbing my swollen feet. “What?” I asked weakly. She held up a piece of paper. “A gift
certificate!”she exclaimed. “With this my father can get whatever he wants.”

請依下文回答第 35 題至第 37 題：
By the 18th century Paris had replaced Rome as the artistic center of Europe. At the French court of Louis XV a new
rococo style developed. The term “rococo” comes from the French word rocaille (rock-work). Like the terms “gothic”
and “baroque,” it was a term of contempt—a departure from the classical conception of art. The rococo style is
sometimes called the Louis XV style.
The rococo style developed out of the late baroque. It was more delicate and relaxed than the baroque. It was also on
a smaller scale, marked by curves and countercurves. Principally a decorative art, it expressed itself in interior
architecture and design, painting, furniture, porcelain, and landscape gardening. It was first used to decorate the palaces
and salons of the French aristocracy but later spread to the southern German states and Austria.
The rococo style, then, was closely connected to the joyful, frivolous age of Louis XV. It aimed at delicacy and
perfection of proportion. Small in scale, it had a graceful feminine character. It represented the elegance and luxury of the
period.
35 According to this passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
The term “rococo” is a French word, meaning rock-work.
Baroque style grew out of the rococo style.
The term “rococo” referred to an art form which was considered inferior to the classical forms of art.
The rococo style represented the elegance and luxury of the reign of Louis XV.
36 According to this passage, what did the rococo style and the baroque style have in common?
Neither was considered the Louis XV style.
Both were large in scale and aimed at delicacy and elegance.
Both were viewed as different from the classical conception of art.
Both developed out of the gothic style.
37 According to this passage, how did the rococo style express itself as a decorative art?
It was used to decorate the houses of the ordinary people.
It originated from the southern German states and Austria.
It was used to portray the beauty of women.
It was used to decorate the palaces and salons of the French aristocracy.

Our fascination with eating and drinking behaviors and their causes has resulted in a huge industry of food-related
pop science. Every bookstore, every magazine stand, every grocery store checkout counter is filled with publications
about how to get your child to eat vegetables, how to tell if someone has an eating disorder or, most commonly, how to
lose weight. But the degree to which any of these is based on scientific research is very limited. In contrast to the
literature for the general reader, the scientific research on eating and drinking behaviors is usually too technical for the
general reader. The Psychology of Eating and Drinking is a unique volume, a textbook that can be comprehended by the
general educated reader. Just as in her previous books, Alexandra Logue grounds her investigation into the complex
interactions between our physiology, our surroundings, and our eating and drinking habits in laboratory research and
up-to-date scientific information. The chapters move from the general—hunger and thirst, taste and smell, and eating
behaviors—to the more specialized—overeating and overdrinking, anorexia and bulimia, and alcohol use. In each case,
Logue provides a brief synopsis of the most historically influential scientific research and then relates this history to the
most up to date advances. This method provides the reader with a general introduction to the physiology of sensations
related to eating and drinking and how these sensations are influenced by the individual’s social surroundings. Thus, this
book provides general readers with a biological and psychological framework to understand their eating behaviors.
38 What’s the purpose of this passage?
To arouse the interest of doing research on food science.
To call for the attention to healthy life and food choices.
To advertise Alexandra Logue’s unique way of editing a cook book.
To introduce the book The Psychology of Eating and Drinking.

40 What does the author think about the scientific research on eating and drinking behaviors in general?
It is historically influential.
It is biologically interactive.
It is too hard for common readers.
It is filled with sensations.
41 Which of the following statements is true?
Food-related science has been popular due to our love of eating and drinking.
The way to judge an eating disorder is by the behavior at a grocery checkout counter.
Alexandra Logue controls her eating and drinking habits in laboratory research.

請依下文回答第 42 題至第 44 題：
Christopher Reeve (1952-2004) was an American actor, director, producer, and writer. He established himself early
as a Juilliard-trained stage actor before portraying Superman/Clark Kent in four films, from 1978 to 1987. He was,
however, never a Superman or comic book fan, though he had watched Adventures of Superman starring George Reeves.
He took the challenge only because it was a dual role.
Reeve took up horse riding in 1985 after learning to ride for the film Anna Karenina. He was initially allergic to
horses, but as with every other sport he participated in, he took horse riding seriously and was intensely competitive with
it. His allergies soon disappeared. The accident happened when he was invited in the 1995 jumping and dressage finals at
the Commonwealth Park. Being over-concerned about jumps sixteen and seventeen, Reeve paid little attention to the
third jump, which was a routine three-foot-three fence. After his horse had a refusal, Re eve fell off, severely damaged his
spinal cord, and therefore, became paralyzed from the neck down. After being convinced that not only would he never
walk again, but that he might never move a body part again, Reeve considered suicide. Thanks to his wife’s timely
encouragement of love, Reeve never considered suicide as an option again. Instead, since he was constantly being
covered by the media, he realized that he could use his name to help everyone with spinal cord injuries.
Throughout this time, Reeve kept his body as physically strong as possible by using specialized exercise machines.
Also, by engaging in various show businesses, he kept his mind active and helpful to others. Though he finally lost his
battle to a systemic infection and passed away on October 10, 2004, his story has inspired people worldwide.
42 What is the main idea of this passage?
The inspiring life of Christopher Reeve, the Superman.
Christopher Reeve’s accident with a fall from the horse.
The adventures of a Superman, George Reeves.
The dual role, Superman/Clark Kent, by Christopher Reeve.
43 Based on this passage, which of the following is NOT true about Christopher Reeve?
He died from a systemic infection at the age of 52.
His wife’s love saved him from depression and suicidal ideas.
He kept being strong and optimistic even years after the accident.
Christopher Reeve starred Adventures of Superman.
44 Which of the following can best describe Christopher Reeve’s last 10 years?
Intensely competitive. A super fighter.
A Juilliard-trained stage actor. Very pessimistic.

thirty-five.
