For most people, the arc of their golf swing or tennis stroke is an abstract image. It is something that
happens 46 too fast for the unaided eye to see. Fortunately, modern athletes have a special tool
available – StroMotionTM – 47 which to obtain and study an actual, visible record of their movements.
But StroMotionTM is not a brand new concept. 48 , it’s an old idea newly linked to digital video and
computer software. StroMotionTM uses processes and technology developed by photographic 49 such as
Eadweard Muybridge and Harold Edgerton. Muybridge was the person who 50 the first photographic
sequential motion studies. And Harold Edgerton invented the strobe light, which seems to stop even the
speediest objects – like bullets – in transit.

四、閱讀測驗【請在下列各題中選出最適當的答案】
第一篇:
More than one-third of the Earth’s surface is covered with deserts. This means that a large percentage of the
planet receives little or no precipitation, such as rain, fog or even dew. As a result, life in these regions is difficult
because of the extreme conditions. But these deserts are not completely desolate. Many desert plants have adapted
to these conditions and have been able to survive despite the lack of precipitation.
In dry environments, plant growth is nearly nonexistent on most of the ground covered with dry sand. A
majority of plants can only exist there in the most favorable settings like those found in an oasis within the desert.
Oases are created where water tables are just below the surface. The most common plant found there is the date
palm.
Beyond oasis points, plants must depend more on adaptation to survive the lack of water. Cacti, for example,
have many ways to collect and conserve the little water available to them in arid environments. Some large cacti
have developed a taproot, which is a long tapering root that grows straight down, to support their bulk and to find
water buried deep beneath the ground. Other smaller cacti use a number of small roots which spread near the
surface over a large area to collect any water that might fall.
Like cacti, the most successful desert plants use a variety of adaptive techniques to survive. For example, such
plants can often store water in stems and leaves. They also frequently remain as bulbs before maturing, which can
remain dormant underground for much of the year. In addition, some desert plants use a short growing season and
spend most of the time in seed form. The important task each of these techniques addresses is water conservation.
【4】51. What is this passage mainly about?
Water conservation. Life in oases.
Adaptability of cacti. Desert plants.
【2】52. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
Oases are formed where there is much rain water.
Most plants can’t exist in deserts except near oasis points.
The environment of oases is unfavorable to the growth of desert plants.
There are some desert plants that can survive without any water.
【1】53. Which of the following words is closest in meaning to arid in the third paragraph?
dry sandy windy spacious
【3】54. According to the passage, what is the adaptive technique used by cacti?
To grow sturdy roots that can endure strong winds.
To use many small roots to collect water from deep underground.
To develop a special root system to collect water available to them.
To increase their size of leaves in order to stand the sun and the heat.
【3】55. According to the passage, what is indispensable for plants to live in deserts?
Growing in less windy areas. Having strong taproots.
Ability to preserve water. Adaptability to temperature changes.
第二篇:
Athletes are seen as heroes because they can do things that most of us can’t do. Some can hit fastballs coming
at them at 100 miles an hour. Others can jump and hang in the air or throw a ball over a net. They get paid lots of
dollars for their efforts, and their names and faces appear on everything from running shoes to billboards. Their
words are repeated and broadcast around the world.
Athletes who are champions also show personal qualities such as perseverance, dedication, generosity, and the
ability to keep their cool under pressure. Further, many high-profile players work hard to be positive role models to
children. They raise money for charities and act as mentors, talking to student groups and volunteering their time to
programs that help kids stay off drugs and stay in school. Stories about these superstar athletes teach us about
working hard and being passionate about what we do.
Still, even the greatest champions have flaws. Just because an athlete has the perfect golf swing doesn’t mean
he or she is the perfect parent, friend, or spokesperson. Even rich, famous, and successful people get sick and face
the same problems other people do. They also make mistakes. Separating an athlete’s professional and personal life
can be tough. When a sports star gets in trouble with law, or does something wrong in his or her private life, fans
often feel disappointed. Before he died, Mickey Mantle, the great baseball player who had serious alcohol problems,
told young ball players and the fans who idolized and admired him to “play like me; don’t be like me.”
【3】56. Why do people consider athletes as heroes?
They can jump and hit balls.
They are taller and stronger than ordinary people.
They can do what many might find difficult to accomplish.
Their names appear on a limited number of products.
【1】57. What do some high-profile players do to be positive models to children?
They help keep children away from illegal drugs. They raise money for their family.
They volunteer to be school coaches. They act as primary school teachers.
【2】58. Why does the author mention Mickey Mantle in the passage?
He had a perfect golf swing. He was a star athlete with flaws.
He got in trouble with his parents. He felt disappointed in young ball players.
【4】59. According to the passage, what can star athletes teach us about achieving success?
Find a competent spokesperson. Have our faces appear on everything.
Mix professional and personal life. Be enthusiastic about what we do.
【2】60. What can be inferred from this passage about champion athletes?
They often donate money to charities.
People often expect them to be perfect in their personal lives as well.
They usually develop drinking problems.
People idolize them because they are usually perfect parents.
