第二部分　閱讀（共兩節，滿分50分）
　　
第一節（共15小題；每小題2.5分，滿分37.5分）
　　閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳選項。
A
　　The Inca Empire was the most powerful of the day， ruling western South America between 1400 and 1533. And the Inca leaders sometimes needed vacations！ That’s why the Inca built Machu Picchu in what’s now Peru. All that’s left today are ruins， but about 500 years ago， it was a bustling royal residence. Peek into the past to discover the secrets of this awesome spot.
ROYAL RELAXATION
　　The royal family lived mostly in the mountainous capital city， Cusco. But during the winter， they could move down to the warmer Machu Picchu. Emperor Pachacuti Inc a Yupanqui likely ordered construction of it around 1450. There， the royals could feast and entertain guests. The other 750 residents served the rulers and maintained the city.
PERFECT FIT
　　Earthquakes are common in Peru， so Inca builders designed Machu Picchu to resist these shakes. They cut the stones to fit together， and they didn’t use any material， like cement， to bind them. This way， when the ground shook， the stones could bounce around and then settle back into place.
CODED LANGUAGE
　　The Inca didn’t have a written language and instead used knotted cords called quipu （KEE-poo） to send messages and keep records. Experts think the style of the knot and the color of the string contained information. Researchers are now using computers to try to untangle these long-lost codes.
21.Why did the Inca Empire build Machu Picchu？（　　）
A.For pleasure of more residents.　　　　　　　　B.For the recreation of the leaders.
C.For relocating the capital city. D.For appealing to more vacationers.
22.What did Inca builders do to resist the shakes？（　　）
A.They made the stones fit together. B.They used cement to bind them.
C.They made the stones bounce around. D.They settled the stones back into place.
23.How did the Inca share important information？（　　）
A.By telling others face to face. B.By writing it down on large stones.
C.By using their own unique language. D.By coloring some materials picked.
B
　　The ancient silk road was a once in a life time journey. It was one of the most important milestones of trade and culture in world history， and the pioneer， Zhang Qian， could not be easily forgotten by history. He was an outstanding diplomat， traveler and explorer in the Han Dynasty of China， honored as the “the first Chinese to open their eyes to see the world” and “the Columbus of the east”.
　　In 138 BC， at the reign of Emperor Wudi， Zhang Qian was sent to the west of China for an alliance with the Yue-chi people to fight against the Xiongnu. He started his trip from Chang’an （now Xi’an in Shaanxi Province） to Longxi （in Gansu Province）. Along the way， no matter how difficult the environment was， his faith was firm. But unfortunately， Zhang was caught by the Xiongnu people just as he left Han， and was held prisoner for ten years.
　　Zhang finally managed to escape with some of his men and continued to travel west without any dry food or drinking water. Due to the excellent skill of shooting arrows， they survived by eating some birds and other animals along the way. When Zhang at last reached the Yue-chi in Northern India， he was disappointed to find that they didn’t want to fight against the Xiongnu people. On the return journey， Zhang Qian and his men were again caught. It was not until 125 BC that they returned to Chang’an.
　　Though Zhang hadn’t finished his mission， he brought back first-hand information on the geography， ethnography， and societies of Central Asia. The paths Zhang Qian explored later served as the highways connecting Europe， the Middle East， Mesopotamia， Central Asia， and East modities， crops， animals， religions， ideas， music， technology， and artifacts have been transported by diplomats， merchants and soldiers along this network of highways， which have， since the 19th century， been known as the “Silk Road”. Zhang Qian has been remembered as the great explorer that opened up a new era of cultural exchange between East and West with long-lasting treasure well observable today.
24.What is the passage mainly about？（　　）
A.Zhang Qian and Yue-chi people. B.The importance of the Silk Road.
C.The paths Zhang Qian explored. D.Zhang Qian and the Silk Road.
25.The underlined word “alliance” in Paragraph 2 has the similar meaning to “　　　　”.（　　）
A.decision　　　　　　B.exploration C.agreement　　　　　　D.excitement
26.According to the passage， what is true about the Silk Road？（　　）
A.Columbus set the footprints on the ancient silk road.
B.The Silk Road was a highway to Europe in the Han Dynasty.
C.Zhang Qian was a pioneer opening up the Silk Road.
D.The Silk Road has the greatest value in Chinese history.
27.Which words best describe Zhang Qian？（　　）
A.Brave and strong-willed. B.Careful and confident.
C.Proud and open-minded. D.Honest and excellent.

　　When a severe heat wave covered California in July 2006， it killed an estimated 650 people. But it may be tough to recall because heat waves don’t typically have names. They are already the deadliest weather-related danger， yet they remain invisible killers that few people take seriously. What if the most life-threatening heat waves did have names？
　　This summer， as many experience high temperatures fueled by greenhouse gas pollution and El Ni o， there has been new openness to the idea of naming heat waves. People in Southern Europe have dubbed the July heat wave Cerberus. The results of a survey of more than 2，000 people found that people who knew the heat wave was named Cerberus were also more likely to take actions to stay safe， including drinking more water， spending more time indoors and warning others about the risk.
　　Though more research is needed， this suggests that naming heat waves， combined with stronger messaging， can not only help change people’s perception of the risk， but prompt them to take protective action. It would be more effective to broadcast that Heat Wave Zoe， a dangerous Category 3 event， will start tomorrow and here’s what you can do to protect yourself， your neighbors and co-workers. Names， after all， are easier to remember than numbers or weather forecasts.
　　But the World Meteorological （氣象學的） Organization opposes naming heat waves on the grounds that it would confuse and distract the public. And the National Weather Service has no plans to rank or name heat waves either， saying that heat and its health impacts vary so dramatically across different regions and seasons that even coming up with a standard definition of a heat wave is impossible.
　　There’s nothing to lose by trying out a pilot program to name the most dangerous heat waves. It’s pretty clear the current approach to these disasters is falling far short of what’s necessary to protect lives. We need other ways to call attention to it and warn the public of the danger. It’s hard to make progress fighting an enemy with no name.
28.Why does the author mention the severe heat wave that covered California in July 2006？（　　）
A.To clarify the severity of heat waves. B.To remind people of the tough heat wave.
C.To introduce the topic of naming heat waves. D.To show people’s ignorance of the heat wave.
29.What can we learn from Paragraphs 2 and 3？（　　）
A.Due to its effectiveness， naming waves is a must.
B.There exist benefits of categorizing and naming heat waves.
C.Naming heat waves can change people’s perception of the risk.
D.Naming heat waves can urge people to take prompt action to protect themselves.
30.Why does the National Weather Service have no plans to name heat waves？（　　）
A.It will confuse and distract the public.
B.It is inappropriate for naming heat waves.
C.It is difficult to distinguish and predict heat waves.
D.It is unlikely to put forward a standard definition for heat waves.
31.What is the author’s attitude to naming heat waves？（　　）
A.Approving. B.Indifferent.
C.Doubtful. D.Opposed.
D
　　The Nazca Lines are a collection of giant geoglyphs （地畫）， located in the Peruvian coastal plain about 250 miles south of Lima， Peru. Created by the ancient Nazca culture in South America， the 2，000-year-old Nazca Lines can only be fully viewed from the air given their massive size.
　　There are three basic types of the Nazca Lines： straight lines， geometric designs and pictorial （圖畫的） representations. More than 800 straight lines are found on the coastal plain， some of which are 30 miles long. Additionally， there are over 300 geometric designs， which include basic shapes such as triangles， rectangles， as well as arrows， zigzags and wavy lines. The Nazca Lines are perhaps best known for the representations of about 70 animals and plants， some of which measure up to 1，200 feet long. Examples include a spider， hummingbird， monkey， whale， dog， duck， flower， and tree.
　　More recent research suggested that the Nazca Lines’ purpose was related to water， a valuable thing in the desert. The geoglyphs weren’t used as an irrigation system or a guide to find water， but rather as part of a ritual （儀式） to pray to the gods — an effort to bring much-needed rain.
　　The Nazca Lines are located in the desert plains of the Rio Grande de Nasca river basin. The desert floor is covered in a layer of deep red color rocks. The ancient people created their designs by removing the top 12 to 15 inches of rock， revealing the lighter-colored sand below. They likely began with small- scale models and carefully increased the models’ proportions （規模） to create the large designs.
　　Given the small amount of rain， wind and erosion in the desert， the geoglyphs have remained largely unharmed throughout the centuries. But the geoglyphs aren’t completely safe. In 2009， the Nazca Lines suffered the first recorded rain damage. Five years later， the environmental group Greenpeace damaged an area near the hummingbird geoglyph during a media stunt.
32.Why should the geoglyphs only be fully appreciated from the air？（　　）
A.The geoglyphs occupy a massive area of land. B.The geoglyphs are in the centre of the desert.
C.The geoglyphs are only accessible by plane. D.The geoglyphs are so diverse in design.
33.What was the geoglyphs’ purpose？（　　）
A.To record ancient culture. B.To guide water to the land.
C.To pray to the gods for rain. D.To show ancient people’s talents.
34.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about？（　　）
A.How the geoglyphs were created. B.Where the geoglyphs are located.
C.Why the geoglyphs were created. D.What the proportion of the geoglyphs is.
35.What can we infer from the last paragraph？（　　）
A.The geoglyphs are damage-free. B.The geoglyphs need protection.
C.The geoglyphs are in perfect condition. D.The geoglyphs get media’s protection.

　　閱讀下面短文，從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
　　With a number of rivers globally in crisis due to pollution， damming， and reduced rainfall， there’s never been a better opportunity to appreciate everything that rivers give to the world.
　　Rivers provide drinking water
　　Two thirds of the UK’s tap water is either from a river or from a river-fed body of water.36.（　　）.For example， the Colorado River alone supports nearly 40 million Americans. That’s why it is vital to keep rivers clean and free of pollutants.
　　37.（　　）
　　Ancient farming depended on these life-giving waters， so does modern agriculture. During the rainy season， many rivers overflow their banks， nourishing the soil with minerals and nutrients. Besides， rivers act as water sources for irrigation.
　　A good source of food comes from rivers
　　A fifth of fish that are fished globally come from rivers and other freshwater sources. Another two thirds of fish that people eat rely on rivers for breeding， nutrients， or other reasons.38.（　　）.
　　Human culture is tied to rivers
　　39.（　　）. The names of the rivers in England including Thames， Leith， and Taff， disclose the island’s history. Other examples are the religious connections to the Ganges in India or the Jordan River in Israel.
　　Rivers provide leisure activities
　　40.（　　）.River sports， boating， fishing， swimming， braving rapids， and visiting waterfalls are all ways that rivers add value and entertainment. It’s essential to work to conserve rivers for generations to come.
A.Rivers are important for agriculture
B.Rivers are more than just water under the bridge
C.Rivers are closely connected to ancient civilizations
D.A large part of our modern life is involved with rivers
E.The organization American Rivers gives a similar figure for the US
F.Consequently， rivers can provide homes for a diversity of plants and animals
G.Protecting rivers and their biodiversity is a good way to protect this valuable source of food

　　My sister-in-law Carol said she’d already picked out a kitten for me. I agreed to go with her ...just to look. I made no promise to take one home. After all， only two months had passed since I lost my beloved Calico cat， Mandi. Maybe I needed to be pet-free for a while.
　　When we got there， three of the four kittens remained in the litter. Carol picked up one and handed it to me. The beautiful face and white fur on the right side of her nose reminded me of a clown-like mask. How could I resist？ Then another kitten， with an evenly balanced white face， jumped into my lap and purred.
　　Driving home in my British sports car proved difficult with two mischievous kittens. One clung to my left arm and shoulder， watching the fast-moving scenery outside. The other paced back and forth from my lap to the passenger’s seat， making it hard for me to shift gears. Both mewed in a loud duet （二重奏） of protest. Of course， I hadn’t brought a cage. I had not planned to take home a kitten — or two.
　　The clown-like-masked female earned the name Squeakette with her tiny voice squeaking about each new discovery as she explored her new home. The male， lacking only a black tie in his formal clothes， took the name Sebastian for my favorite composer， Johann Sebastian Bach.
　　A few weeks later， a neighbor helped me carry down my six-foot artificial Christmas tree from the attic （閣樓）. I thanked him with a batch of cookies， and then set up the tree in the corner of my living room.
　　Sebastian and Squeakette knocked it down before I opened the box of decorations. After setting it upright， I straightened the few bent wire branches back into place. As I checked for any other damage， a quick flash of black-and-white fur passed by me. Up they went， branch by branch. The tree danced around as the two kittens took turns climbing it together. Sebastian made it to the top a moment ahead of Squeakette.

（Text 10）
M：It is really difficult for American university students to develop good health habits， but many students do manage to live a very healthy lifestyle.
Most schools offer plenty of opportunity for exercise through organized teams or classes in yoga， soccer， volleyball and other fitness activities， or by providing recreation centers where students can exercise， swim， work out or play different sports.
Finding healthy food to eat in the schools can be more of a challenge.However， as American society becomes more educated and concerned about health problems， even some fast food restaurants offer healthy alternatives such as salads， soups and low-fat sandwiches.
There are strict restrictions on smoking in most schools， too.In addition， schools usually include a student health center where students can seek medical attention.This is really a bonus for the students， because a simple doctor’s appointment can cost a hundred dollars， and a short hospital stay will cost thousands.

26.C　細節理解題。根據最后一段最后三句可知，張騫所探索的路徑后來成為連接歐洲、中東、美索不達米亞、中亞和東亞的國際貿易途徑，被稱為“絲綢之路”。張騫被銘記為一位開啟東西方文化交流新時代的偉大探險家，即張騫是開辟絲綢之路的先驅。
27.A　推理判斷題。根據第二段最后兩句，第三段首句以及最后一段首句可知，盡管張騫在與匈奴的戰斗中被抓住并被囚禁，但他最終成功逃脫并繼續他的旅行，最終帶回了有關中亞地理、民族志和社會的第一手信息。這顯示了他的勇敢和堅定的意志。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要探討了給熱浪命名的潛在利弊。因為沒有名字，熱浪其實是最致命的隱形殺手。如果給熱浪也取名是否可行呢？
28.C　推理判斷題。根據第一段第二句以及下文對給熱浪命名的討論推知，作者提及2006年7月加利福尼亞州的熱浪是為了引出給熱浪命名這個話題。
29.B　細節理解題。根據第二段最后一句以及第三段第一句可知，第二段和第三段主要講述了給熱浪命名的的優點。
30.D　細節理解題。根據第四段第二句可知，美國氣象局沒有計劃給熱浪命名，是因為不可能為熱浪提出一個標準定義。
31.A　觀點態度題。根據最后一段第一句可推知，作者對于給熱浪命名一事持積極、支持意見。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了南美洲的納斯卡線。
32.A　細節理解題。根據第一段中the 2，000-year-old Nazca Lines can only be fully viewed from the air given their massive size可知，由于納斯卡線條尺寸巨大，占據了大片土地，所以只能從空中觀看它的全貌。
33.C　細節理解題。根據第三段第二句可知，地畫不是為了灌溉和尋找水，而是向神祈禱降雨儀式的一部分。
34.A　段落大意題。根據第四段內容可知，第四段主要講古人是如何創造納斯卡線條的。
35.B　推理判斷題。根據最后一段最后兩句可推知，納斯卡線可能會遭到自然因素和人為因素的破壞，它需要得到保護。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。盡管全球多條河流面臨危機，但是我們要銘記河流給我們帶來的很多好處。
36.E　上句從數據上強調了英國三分之二的自來水要么來自河流，要么來自河流補給的水體。E項（美國河流組織也給出了類似的美國數據）指出美國跟英國的情況類似，其中a similar figure與上文的數字形成呼應，符合語境。
37.A　根據本段首句可知，本段強調的是河流對農業的重要性。A項（河流對農業很重要）概括了本段主旨。
38.G　本段小標題A good source of food comes from rivers以及上句強調保護河流作為很好的食物來源，以人類所使用的魚為例進行了說明。G項（保護河流及其生物多樣性是保護這一寶貴食物來源的好方法）承接上文。
39.C　根據本段小標題Human culture is tied to rivers可知，本段主要講述人類文明與河流之間的緊密關系。C項（河流與古代文明緊密相連）與本段小標題相呼應。
40.D　空后一句強調河流與人們的日常生活和娛樂方式密切相關。D項（我們現代生活的很大一部分與河流有關）引起下文。
第三部分
語篇解讀：本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。作者講述了自己在華盛頓遇到的一次溫暖的經歷。一位糖果店老板經營店鋪多年，后來年齡大了，精力有限，想要關掉店鋪。但是，兩年前有一位顧客曾經把一個包遺忘在店里，老人雖然不再開門營業，但是想著那位顧客隨時有可能路過這里進來尋他的包，所以每天都把門半開著等待。
41.D　根據下文this candy shop及a candy store可知，這是一家糖果店。
42.A　根據下文可知，老人不再營業賣糖果，兩年來卻為了等失主來找包而每天把店門半開。每天這樣做才會令人們覺得好奇。
43.C　人們對這家店鋪不營業卻開著門的情況很好奇，沒有人知道原因。
44.A　作者想要探究原因，需要靠近店鋪，前去詢問店主。
45.B　根據下文I admired Mr Smith’s long excellent service in the area.He had a 　49　 attitude to life.可知，多年來店主的服務態度非常好，應該對顧客是很熱情的。
46.B　根據下文Mr Smith explained the place was a candy store opened by him 50 years ago可知，這位90歲的老人就是店主。
47.D　根據下文so he sold nothing for long可知，這家糖果店現在并沒有糖果。
48.D　老人經營了五十年糖果店，年近九十歲時，想要關閉店鋪，應該是因為精力衰退。break off中斷；calm down冷靜下來；go up上升；fade away衰退。
49.B　店主經營店鋪，為人們服務了五十年，受到作者的欽佩，后來店鋪已經不營業了，卻為了失主有可能回來找包，兩年來堅持把店鋪的門半開著。由此可知，老人的生活態度是積極的，正能量的。
50.C　兩年前顧客遺忘在店里的包，店主應該是幫忙保存。
51.D　店主年紀大了，精力衰退，想要關閉店鋪，只是因為擔心失主回來找包才開著門。
52.A　一個顧客兩年前把包遺忘在店里，有可能會回來尋找。
53.B　老人這么大年紀不賣東西了，卻還為了等失主有可能回來找包，堅持兩年開著店門，這是善良的好心行為。
54.B　顧客遺忘的包，對于店家來說就是撿到的物品。
55.C　老人這么大年紀不賣東西了，卻還堅持兩年開著店門為了等失主有可能回來找包，永遠給顧客保留一份希望，一種做人的信念。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇報道。以往返于重慶與秀山縣之間的5609/5610次列車為代表的公益性“慢火車”以學生為主要的服務群體，提供了“學習車廂”“列車書吧”等特色服務，受到了乘客的廣泛歡迎。
56.its　考查代詞。所填詞修飾名詞短語own study room，表示它自己的自習室，應用形容詞性物主代詞，故填its。
57.which　考查定語從句。分析句子結構可知，所填詞引導非限制性定語從句，且在從句中作主語，先行詞是The train No.5609/5610，指物，故填which。
58.to transform　考查非謂語動詞。分析句子結構可知，句子已有謂語動詞，此處應用非謂語動詞形式；再根據語境可知，此處指一些座位被換成了靠近窗戶的桌子和椅子，是為了把它們變成有需要的乘客的“學習車廂”，應用動詞不定式短語作目的狀語，故填to transform。
59.happily　考查詞形轉換。所填詞修飾traveling and reading，作狀語，應用副詞形式，故填happily。
60.running　考查非謂語動詞。分析句子結構可知，句子已有謂語動詞，此處應用非謂語動詞形式，且所填詞與其邏輯主語train No.Z150之間是主動關系，應用動詞-ing形式，故填running。
61.cities　考查名詞的單復數。city是可數名詞，此處指沿線城市有近400所高校，應用名詞復數形式，故填cities。
62.choice　考查詞形轉換。根據空前的the first并結合語境可知，此處指使Z150次列車成為這些校園大多數學生的首選，因此所填詞應用名詞形式，故填choice。
63.with　考查介詞。provide sb with sth是固定搭配，表示“為某人提供某物”，故填with。
64.are welcomed　考查動詞的時態、語態和主謂一致。所填詞是主句的謂語動詞，根據空后的by passengers可知，應用被動語態；此處描述一般事實，應用一般現在時，且主語These small measures為復數概念，故填are welcomed。
65.a　考查冠詞。此處指一個令人放松的地方，表示泛指，應用不定冠詞，且relaxing的發音以輔音音素開頭，故填a。

第二節
　　He lunged at me from the top， and paws stretched out like wings. Seeing what he was doing， I reached out my hands quickly， uttering， “Sebastian， come here.” Just then， he jumped into my arms. I felt a big， warm kitty sniffing my hand， the familiar purrs vibrating through my fingertips. Seeing her brother’s bold move， Squeakette jumped after him. I put them in my lap. They rubbed their soft heads against my palm， seeking more affection. With each stroke， their body were at ease in my presence. After a while， the two kittens took turns climbing it together again.
　　Sensing their interest， I found a smaller Christmas tree for them. This Christmas tree was too tall for them， who were still young kittens. I was afraid that they could hurt themselves if they jumped from high places. Later， this smaller Christmas tree became their favorite toy and they jumped up and down many times a day. Seeing them play happily， I heard a voice in my heart echoing “it is right to take them home”. They are my little miracle which shows me that love knows no boundaries.

（Text 10）
M：It is really difficult for American university students to develop good
health habits， but many students do manage to live a very healthy
lifestyle.
　　Most schools offer plenty of opportunity for exercise through
organized teams or classes in yoga， soccer， volleyball and other fitness
activities， or by providing recreation centers where students can
exercise， swim， work out or play different sports.
　　Finding healthy food to eat in the schools can be more of a
challenge.However， as American society becomes more educated and
concerned about health problems， even some fast food restaurants offer
healthy alternatives such as salads， soups and low-fat sandwiches.
　　There are strict restrictions on smoking in most schools， too.In
addition， schools usually include a student health center where students
can seek medical attention.This is really a bonus for the students，
because a simple doctor’s appointment can cost a hundred dollars， and a
short hospital stay will cost thousands.

　　The Inca Empire was the most powerful of the day， ruling western
South America between 1400 and 1533. And the Inca leaders sometimes
needed vacations！ That’s why the Inca built Machu Picchu in what’s
now Peru. All that’s left today are ruins， but about 500 years ago， it
was a bustling royal residence. Peek into the past to discover the secrets of
this awesome spot.
　　The royal family lived mostly in the mountainous capital city，
Cusco. But during the winter， they could move down to the warmer
Machu Picchu. Emperor Pachacuti Inc a Yupanqui likely ordered
construction of it around 1450. There， the royals could feast and
entertain guests. The other 750 residents served the rulers and maintained
the city.
ROYAL RELAXATION
PERFECT FIT
　　Earthquakes are common in Peru， so Inca builders designed Machu
Picchu to resist these shakes. They cut the stones to fit together， and they
didn’t use any material， like cement， to bind them. This way， when
the ground shook， the stones could bounce around and then settle back
into place.
CODED LANGUAGE
　　The Inca didn’t have a written language and instead used knotted
cords called quipu （KEE-poo） to send messages and keep records.
Experts think the style of the knot and the color of the string contained
information. Researchers are now using computers to try to untangle these
long-lost codes.

　　The ancient silk road was a once in a life time journey. It was one of
the most important milestones of trade and culture in world history， and
the pioneer， Zhang Qian， could not be easily forgotten by history. He
was an outstanding diplomat， traveler and explorer in the Han Dynasty of
China， honored as the “the first Chinese to open their eyes to see the
world” and “the Columbus of the east”.
　　In 138 BC， at the reign of Emperor Wudi， Zhang Qian was sent to
the west of China for an alliance with the Yue-chi people to fight against
the Xiongnu. He started his trip from Chang’an （now Xi’an in
Shaanxi Province） to Longxi （in Gansu Province）. Along the way，
no matter how difficult the environment was， his faith was firm. But
unfortunately， Zhang was caught by the Xiongnu people just as he left
Han， and was held prisoner for ten years.
　　Zhang finally managed to escape with some of his men and continued
to travel west without any dry food or drinking water. Due to the excellent
skill of shooting arrows， they survived by eating some birds and other
animals along the way. When Zhang at last reached the Yue-chi in
Northern India， he was disappointed to find that they didn’t want to
fight against the Xiongnu people. On the return journey， Zhang Qian and
his men were again caught. It was not until 125 BC that they returned to
Chang’an.
　　Though Zhang hadn’t finished his mission， he brought back first-
hand information on the geography， ethnography， and societies of
Central Asia. The paths Zhang Qian explored later served as the highways
connecting Europe， the Middle East， Mesopotamia， Central Asia，
and East modities， crops， animals， religions， ideas，
music， technology， and artifacts have been transported by diplomats，
merchants and soldiers along this network of highways， which have，
since the 19th century， been known as the “Silk Road”.
Zhang Qian has been remembered as the great explorer that opened up a
new era of cultural exchange between East and West with long-lasting
treasure well observable today.

東西方文化交流新時代的偉大探險家，即張騫是開辟絲綢之路的
先驅。
27. Which words best describe Zhang Qian？（　　）
A. Brave and strong-willed.
B. Careful and confident.
C. Proud and open-minded.
D. Honest and excellent.

定的意志。
C
　　When a severe heat wave covered California in July 2006， it killed
an estimated 650 people. But it may be tough to recall because heat waves
don’t typically have names. They are already the deadliest weather-
related danger， yet they remain invisible killers that few people take
seriously. What if the most life-threatening heat waves did have names？
　　This summer， as many experience high temperatures fueled by
greenhouse gas pollution and El Ni o， there has been new openness to
the idea of naming heat waves. People in Southern Europe have dubbed
the July heat wave Cerberus. The results of a survey of more than 2，000
people found that people who knew the heat wave was named Cerberus
were also more likely to take actions to stay safe， including drinking
more water， spending more time indoors and warning others about the
risk.
　　Though more research is needed， this suggests that naming heat
waves， combined with stronger messaging， can not only help change
people’s perception of the risk， but prompt them to take protective
action. It would be more effective to broadcast that Heat Wave Zoe， a
dangerous Category 3 event， will start tomorrow and here’s what you
can do to protect yourself， your neighbors and co-workers. Names，
after all， are easier to remember than numbers or weather forecasts.
　　But the World Meteorological （氣象學的） Organization opposes
naming heat waves on the grounds that it would confuse and distract the
public. And the National Weather Service has no plans to rank or name
heat waves either， saying that heat and its health impacts vary so
dramatically across different regions and seasons that even coming up with
a standard definition of a heat wave is impossible.
　　There’s nothing to lose by trying out a pilot program to name the
most dangerous heat waves. It’s pretty clear the current approach to these
disasters is falling far short of what’s necessary to protect lives. We need
other ways to call attention to it and warn the public of the danger. It’s
hard to make progress fighting an enemy with no name.

　　The Nazca Lines are a collection of giant geoglyphs （地畫），
located in the Peruvian coastal plain about 250 miles south of Lima，
Peru. Created by the ancient Nazca culture in South America， the 2，
000-year-old Nazca Lines can only be fully viewed from the air given their
massive size.
　　There are three basic types of the Nazca Lines： straight lines，
geometric designs and pictorial （圖畫的） representations. More than
800 straight lines are found on the coastal plain， some of which are 30
miles long. Additionally， there are over 300 geometric designs， which
include basic shapes such as triangles， rectangles， as well as arrows，
zigzags and wavy lines. The Nazca Lines are perhaps best known for the
representations of about 70 animals and plants， some of which measure
up to 1，200 feet long. Examples include a spider， hummingbird，
monkey， whale， dog， duck， flower， and tree.
　　More recent research suggested that the Nazca Lines’ purpose was
related to water， a valuable thing in the desert. The geoglyphs weren’t
used as an irrigation system or a guide to find water， but rather as part of
a ritual （儀式） to pray to the gods — an effort to bring much-needed
rain.
　　The Nazca Lines are located in the desert plains of the Rio Grande de
Nasca river basin. The desert floor is covered in a layer of deep red color
rocks. The ancient people created their designs by removing the top 12 to
15 inches of rock， revealing the lighter-colored sand below. They likely
began with small- scale models and carefully increased the models’
proportions （規模） to create the large designs.
　　Given the small amount of rain， wind and erosion in the desert， the
geoglyphs have remained largely unharmed throughout the centuries. But
the geoglyphs aren’t completely safe. In 2009， the Nazca Lines
suffered the first recorded rain damage. Five years later， the
environmental group Greenpeace damaged an area near the hummingbird
geoglyph during a media stunt.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了南美洲的納斯卡。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了南美洲的納斯卡線。
32. Why should the geoglyphs only be fully appreciated from the air？
（　　）
A. The geoglyphs occupy a massive area of land.
B. The geoglyphs are in the centre of the desert.
C. The geoglyphs are only accessible by plane.
D. The geoglyphs are so diverse in design.
解析：　細節理解題。根據第一段中the 2，000-year-old Nazca
Lines can only be fully viewed from the air given their massive size可
知，由于納斯卡線條尺寸巨大，占據了大片土地，所以只能從空
中觀看它的全貌。
33. What was the geoglyphs’ purpose？（　　）
A. To record ancient culture.
B. To guide water to the land.
C. To pray to the gods for rain.
D. To show ancient people’s talents.
解析：　細節理解題。根據第三段第二句可知，地畫不是為了
灌溉和尋找水，而是向神祈禱降雨儀式的一部分。
34. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about？（　　）
A. How the geoglyphs were created.
B. Where the geoglyphs are located.
C. Why the geoglyphs were created.
D. What the proportion of the geoglyphs is.
解析：　段落大意題。根據第四段內容可知，第四段主要講古
人是如何創造納斯卡線條的。
35. What can we infer from the last paragraph？（　　）
A. The geoglyphs are damage-free.
B. The geoglyphs need protection.
C. The geoglyphs are in perfect condition.
D. The geoglyphs get media’s protection.
解析：　推理判斷題。根據最后一段最后兩句可推知，納斯卡
線可能會遭到自然因素和人為因素的破壞，它需要得到保護。
第二節（共5小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分）

項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
　　With a number of rivers globally in crisis due to pollution，
damming， and reduced rainfall， there’s never been a better
opportunity to appreciate everything that rivers give to the world.
　　Rivers provide drinking water
　　Two thirds of the UK’s tap water is either from a river or from a
river-fed body of water.36.（　　）.For example， the Colorado River
alone supports nearly 40 million Americans. That’s why it is vital to keep
rivers clean and free of pollutants.
　　37. （　　）
　　Ancient farming depended on these life-giving waters， so does
modern agriculture. During the rainy season， many rivers overflow their
banks， nourishing the soil with minerals and nutrients. Besides， rivers
act as water sources for irrigation.
　　A good source of food comes from rivers
　　A fifth of fish that are fished globally come from rivers and other
freshwater sources. Another two thirds of fish that people eat rely on rivers
for breeding， nutrients， or other reasons.38.（　　）.
　　Human culture is tied to rivers
　　39. （　　）. The names of the rivers in England including
Thames， Leith， and Taff， disclose the island’s history. Other
examples are the religious connections to the Ganges in India or the Jordan
River in Israel.
　　Rivers provide leisure activities
　　40. （　　）.River sports， boating， fishing， swimming，
braving rapids， and visiting waterfalls are all ways that rivers add value
and entertainment. It’s essential to work to conserve rivers for
generations to come.
A. Rivers are important for agriculture
B. Rivers are more than just water under the bridge
C. Rivers are closely connected to ancient civilizations
D. A large part of our modern life is involved with rivers
E. The organization American Rivers gives a similar figure for the US
F. Consequently， rivers can provide homes for a diversity of plants and
animals
G. Protecting rivers and their biodiversity is a good way to protect this
valuable source of food

（河流對農業很重要）概括了本段主旨。
38. G　本段小標題A good source of food comes from rivers以及上句
強調保護河流作為很好的食物來源，以人類所使用的魚為例進行了說
明。G項（保護河流及其生物多樣性是保護這一寶貴食物來源的好方

第二節（滿分25分）
　　閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構
成一篇完整的短文。
　　My sister-in-law Carol said she’d already picked out a kitten for me.
I agreed to go with her ...just to look. I made no promise to take one
home. After all， only two months had passed since I lost my beloved
Calico cat， Mandi. Maybe I needed to be pet-free for a while.
　　When we got there， three of the four kittens remained in the litter.
Carol picked up one and handed it to me. The beautiful face and white fur
on the right side of her nose reminded me of a clown-like mask. How
could I resist？ Then another kitten， with an evenly balanced white
face， jumped into my lap and purred.
　　Driving home in my British sports car proved difficult with two
mischievous kittens. One clung to my left arm and shoulder， watching
the fast-moving scenery outside. The other paced back and forth from my
lap to the passenger’s seat， making it hard for me to shift gears. Both
mewed in a loud duet （二重奏） of protest. Of course， I hadn’t
brought a cage. I had not planned to take home a kitten — or two.
　　The clown-like-masked female earned the name Squeakette with her
tiny voice squeaking about each new discovery as she explored her new
home. The male， lacking only a black tie in his formal clothes， took the
name Sebastian for my favorite composer， Johann Sebastian Bach.
　　A few weeks later， a neighbor helped me carry down my six-foot
artificial Christmas tree from the attic （閣樓）. I thanked him with a
batch of cookies， and then set up the tree in the corner of my living
room.
　　Sebastian and Squeakette knocked it down before I opened the box of
decorations. After setting it upright， I straightened the few bent wire
branches back into place. As I checked for any other damage， a quick
flash of black-and-white fur passed by me. Up they went， branch by
branch. The tree danced around as the two kittens took turns climbing it
together. Sebastian made it to the top a moment ahead of Squeakette.
注意：1.續寫詞數應為150左右；
2. 請按如下格式作答。
　　He lunged at me from the top， and paws stretched out like
wings. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　Sensing their interest， I found a smaller Christmas tree for
them. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
參考范文：
　　He lunged at me from the top， and paws stretched out like wings.
Seeing what he was doing， I reached out my hands quickly， uttering，
“Sebastian， come here.” Just then， he jumped into my arms. I felt a
big， warm kitty sniffing my hand， the familiar purrs vibrating through
my fingertips. Seeing her brother’s bold move， Squeakette jumped after
him. I put them in my lap. They rubbed their soft heads against my
palm， seeking more affection. With each stroke， their body were at ease
in my presence. After a while， the two kittens took turns climbing it
together again.
　　Sensing their interest， I found a smaller Christmas tree for them.
This Christmas tree was too tall for them， who were still young kittens. I
was afraid that they could hurt themselves if they jumped from high
places. Later， this smaller Christmas tree became their favorite toy and
they jumped up and down many times a day. Seeing them play happily， I
heard a voice in my heart echoing “it is right to take them home”. They
are my little miracle which shows me that love knows no boundaries.
謝謝觀看！
