第一篇：
Have you been making New Year 31 at the beginning of every new year? If you do, here are some good
tips for you to reconsider about making them. 32 some studies, the best month to try to change anything in the
year to come is August, when students are going back to school and many people are settling into new routes of their
life. However, many scientists and psychologists seem to 33 as there is not clinical research on the ideal time
of the year to make improvements.
However, scientists did offer some feasible 34 for January’s high failure rate, one of which is the lack of
preparation for change. John Norcross, a psychologist at the University of Scranton said that “people rushing in are
likely to fail.” A sudden change can make 35 harder to modify their habits later. “They should be changing
when they’re prepared,” added Norcross.

第二篇：
To design a coin, you must first know what traditionally makes up a coin. Typically, a coin is a round piece of
36 that has designs and writing on each face. One face is called the obverse, or heads, 37 the other is the
reverse, or tails. It is the obverse side tha t typically bears a large and 38 picture. American coins will normally
show the head of a president on the obverse. British coins, for example, will show a bust of the monarch on the
obverse. You will need to select an appropriate picture for the obverse of your own coin. Maybe it will be yourself, if
you are heading your own empire. Maybe it will be someone you admire--a celebrity or historical figure. Perhaps
you will choose a picture that honors a loved one.
To finish your coin's obverse, you will also need to pick out some more design features. In most countries, the
date the coin was minted, or made, usually appears just below the main picture. So you can put the date in this spot.
The area itself is called the exergue. You do not have to put a date here. 39 , you can leave it blank. But, it is a
good idea to put something in the exergue. You can put your own special mark, 40 the symbol of your country
or the mark for your own private mint. This can be anything you like. Add a description to your image. You will
want to put it along the outer edge of the circle that forms the obverse.
【3】36. • mental ‚ model ƒ metal „ mild
【3】37. • since ‚ when ƒ while „ which
【2】38. • potential ‚ prominent ƒ perceived „ prophetic
【4】39. • Above all ‚ As such ƒ With that „ In fact
【1】40. • possibly ‚ luckily ƒ consequently „ temporarily
四、閱讀測驗【請在下列各題中選出最適當的答案】
第一篇：
The changing habitats of the penguins may give us a small window into the future of our own habitats. As the
globe warms, animals like penguins, which spend a lot of time on ice, may be the first to notice.
Among the flightless birds of the Southern Hemisphere, penguins are well suited to life in the icy southern seas.
They are masterful swimmers, spending as much as 75% of their lives in the water. Of the 18 different penguin
species, seven live around Antarctica. Antarctica has 90 percent of the world’s ice. The Antarctic Peninsula, like the
rest of Earth, is warming, but at an even faster pace. Researchers warn that the face of Antarctica will change in the
next 100 years as ice melts and glaciers retreat.
The changing global environment will change the penguins’ lives. According to Dr. Andrew Clarke of the
British Antarctic Survey, “Many Antarctic organisms are susceptible to very small changes in temperature.” Dr.
Clarke predicts that if extreme temperature change continues, it will lead to dramatic changes, including some
extinctions. Already, some penguin habitats may be shifting to the south. The pattern of snowfall is important to a
penguin’s breeding. Ice patterns are also important, because the birds have to travel to the edge of the ice shelf in
order to feed.
It’s too early to estimate the exact impact of global warming on penguin habitats. Scientists will continue to
watch the progress and survival of penguins as they try to adapt to their changing world.
【4】41. What is the main idea of the reading?
• Penguins will be able to survive the change of extreme temperature.
‚ Scientists are more worried about the fact of global warming than ordinary people.
ƒ We should make greater effort to save the lives of penguins in the Southern Hemisphere.
„ Global warming may lead to the change of the habitats of both animals and human beings.
【4】42. Which of the following is NOT a result of global warming?
• The habitats of penguins are changing.
‚ Ices around Antarctica are melting faster.
ƒ Glaciers in the Southern Hemisphere are retreating.
„ Penguins will breed faster and more than before.
【2】43. In paragraph three, the word “susceptible” is closest in meaning to _____.
• difficult to believe ‚ likely to be affected by something
ƒ strong enough to survive „ impossible to see
【3】44. Which of the following statements about the penguins around Antarctica is NOT correct?
• They spend much of their lives in the water.
‚ They are good swimmers.
ƒ Their feeding places will remain safe in the future.
„ Their breeding may be influenced by extreme temperature.
【3】45. What is the author’s attitude toward the effect of global warming on human beings?
• Suspicious. ‚ Optimistic.
ƒ Concerned. „ Indifferent.
第二篇：
William Green was making his breakfast when he heard somebody in his garden. “I went out the back door,
and suddenly I saw this guy running toward me. He pushed me out of the way and took my bicycle from the
garden shed.” William did not resist, as he knew he would end up second-best in a fight with the intruder. The
burglar tried to cycle away, but the tires on the bike were flat, making it difficult to ride. Immediately after the
man fled, William called the local police.
When they arrived, officers asked him to describe the man, but instead he offered to draw them a picture. In
fact, William had worked for more than 20 years in daily newspapers doing caricatures of Australian soccer
players. “I had no difficulty in remembering the man’s face because he was so close to me,” he said.
Police cruised the neighborhood with the sketch in search of the alleged burglar and found him within half an
hour. “The cartoon was a perfect likeness of the burglar,” said another police officer.
The police believe that this is the first time they have ever caught a suspect by using a cartoon sketch. A
senior police officer said that in the past some victims had used their cell phones to take photos at crime scenes,
but they had not been as effective.
