Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
　　The late， great producer Phil Ramone worked with many famous popular singers.However， one of his albums is a little different.It’s classical music， made for children.
　　“He actually started as a child violinist，” said Marc Neikrug， a famous classical composer who worked together with Ramone on the album “Sunken Cathedrals”， after being introduced by Rock Positano， a doctor with a special interest in music’s value to medicine.“The three of us all want to promote classical music to children.”
　　In the digital age when children develop surrounded by constant distractions， however， Neikrug sees a very particular value in classical music.“I’m concerned about a world in which there is an almost aggressive move to lower people’s attention spans，” he said.“That’s terrifying.How do you even absorb and learn things？ How do you expect kids to do well in school？”
　　“I think it’s really important to let kids build some kind of ability to focus，” Neikrug said.“Great music can do that， because you’re drawn into what you’re listening to.”“A two- or three-minute music may not seem so long to concentrate on， but it’s a good attention span for kids，” he said.“We picked the pieces very deliberately to be not too long.”
　　All of the pieces on the two-part album are unadapted， complete works of classical music.“Phil， Dr Rock and I were all completely convinced that we need little， short， beautiful pieces for kids.They happen to be really good for adults too，” he pointed out， though the words “Classics for Kids” on the cover might scare some grown people off.This doesn’t mean you should throw all of your popular music albums away or trash all the screen devices in your home.“I’m not an advocate for disregarding the reality of living in this world，” Neikrug said.“I would say someone who grows up able to focus for an hour and equally able to use the smartphone with one hand， is fine.”
1.What did Marc Neikrug and Rock Positano have in common？
A.They had the same career.
B.They had the same interest.
C.They had the same circle of friends.
D.They had the same number of children.
2.What was Neikrug worried about？
A.People’s decreasing attention spans.
B.People becoming too aggressive.
C.People’s low learning ability.
D.People losing faith in school.
3.Why did Ramone and Neikrug select short pieces for the album？
A.To attract distracted adults.
B.Because of their own preference.
C.To include more pieces in the album.
D.Because of kids’ mental characteristics.
4.What does the text want to tell us？
A.Popular music producers turned to classical music.
B.Classical music can coexist with digital devices.
C.It’s never too late to listen to classical music.
D.Kids can benefit from classical music.
B
　　As humans， we’ve built connections and bonds with certain genres （類型） or musical styles as a way to express ourselves. Music is a powerful tool to convey information about ourselves. A recent study is offering new insight into how our favourite tunes are linked to our personalities.
　　The study spanning six continents with more than 350，000 participants showed that personality types are linked with certain musical preferences. During the study， people from more than 50 countries self-reported their enjoyment of 23 different music genres while also completing a personality questionnaire. The researchers also had the participants listen to brief clips of music from 16 different genres of Western music and rank them.
　　Songs like Ed Sheeran’s Shivers appeal to extroverts （性格外向者）， while adorable people would be happy to listen to What’s Going On by Marvin Gaye. Meanwhile， open people tend to enjoy Nina Simone’s songs or David Bowie’s classic Space Oddity. And all of these types of songs have appeal that crosses national borders， according to the study.
　　“We were surprised at just how much these patterns between music and personality were alike across the globe，”said study author David Greenberg， honorary research associate at the University of Cambridge， in a statement.
　　“People may be divided by geography， language and culture， but if an extrovert in one part of the world likes the same music as extroverts elsewhere，” said Greenberg， “that suggests that music could be a very powerful bridge. Music helps people to understand one another and find common ground.”
　　The researchers acknowledge that musical taste isn’t set in stone and can change. But the study provides a foundation for understanding how music can cross other social divisions and bring people together.
5.What did participants do during the study？
A.They travelled 50 countries.
B.They enjoyed 39 music clips.
C.They filled in a questionnaire.
D.They ranked personality types.
6.Who is more likely to be popular with lovely people？
A.Ed Sheeran.　　　　 B.Marvin Gaye.
C.Nina Simone. D.David Bowie.
7.Which of the following will David Greenberg agree with？
A.Culture affects musical taste.
B.Geography decides music genres.
C.Music promotes communication.
D.Personality equals music patterns.
8.What can be a suitable title for the text？
A.What Determines Our Personality
B.Why Music Brings People Together
C.What Music Reveals About Our Personality
D.How Music Reflects Our Preferences

　　In the super fast-paced world we live in， happiness may not come as easily as we wish. Here are some tips to make us live happily.
　　Don’t avoid or ignore negativity.
　　　9　 This can include people in your life who may be bringing you down， a hostile workplace environment or even a personal stressor that you haven’t conquered quite yet. You are in control of your environment and if these negative situations keep making an appearance， it’s up to you to handle them.
　　Take care of yourself and satisfy your needs.
　　In order to live a powerful and meaningful life， you must love yourself. Take care of your actions and how you live each day， and this will be reflected in your thoughts and emotional states of mind.　10　
　　Mend what’s broken or get rid of it.
　　Determining what is worth your time and effort and what is not can be challenging. If situations are beyond repair， it’s time to let go. Are there relationships or friendships that remain damaged but you know are worth the time？　11　 Do what you can to find love in situations where it may have been absent in the past.
　　　12　
　　Giving our time， energy， love and sometimes money is what life is about. 　13　 My mom taught me a quote she learned in Mexico that stuck with me forever， “Donde come uno， comen dos.（Where one can eat， two can eat.）” It moves me every time I say it out loud. At the end of the day， no matter what you have you are likely in a position to give something small to someone else who needs it. Don’t hesitate.

B.Be positive.
C.Fix them and find peace.
D.Do more of what makes you happy.

　　When Anna thought she finally knew what life was all about， it dealt her a terrible blow. Her husband of fifty years， Ronald， passed away suddenly at the age of seventy-five.
　　Anna and Ronald had been making plans to get away on a dream trip to France； now it was too late. Anna was so sad that no one could comfort her， and her daughter Clara even started considering taking her to a doctor.
　　“I’m so worried about Mom，” Clara said to her husband and son， Ron， over dinner. “It’s been over six months， and she just mopes （悶悶不樂）. She won’t leave the house， not for anything.”
　　Ron， a fourteen-year-old who’d always been very close to his grandparents， was upset. “Poor Grandma！” he said. “I miss Grandpa too， but he was her world. They did everything together ...What if I start taking her out in the afternoon for walks the way Grandpa used to？”
　　“That’s a great idea， Ron！” his mother cried. “That’s so kind of you！”
　　So the next day， Ron showed up at his grandma’s house an hour before sunset. He invited Anna to walk down to the lake and watch the sunset， but she refused.
　　Anna turned her face away and said， “Don’t bother me， Ron. Run along and do something useful！”
　　Ron was hurt by his grandmother’s words， but what he didn’t know was that she was just as upset. “Why did I say that to the poor boy？”she asked herself. “He was only trying to help ...”
　　That night Ron told his mom what had happened. “Maybe she doesn’t want our help， Mom，” he said sadly.
　　“She may not want it，” Clara said. “But she definitely needs it. Grandpa wouldn’t want to see her wasting away like this. He loved life， and he adored Grandma.”
　　“Yeah！” Ron said. “It was embarrassing to see two such old people holding hands. And he always brought her flowers！”
　　That was when the great idea struck Ron. He was going to buy his grandmother flowers every day like his grandpa used to. Maybe a daily reminder that she was loved would turn things around. He decided not to say a word to his mom and to do this for his grandmother all by himself.
注意：1.續寫詞數應為150左右；
2.請按如下格式作答。
　　Ron had a new weekend job， and he had just received his very first salary.
When Ron visited Anna that afternoon， she was smiling.

　　Ron had a new weekend job， and he had just received his very first salary.The next day， he went to the local flower shop and ordered a flower to be delivered to Anna’s house that afternoon. When the clerk presented Ron with the bill， he worked out how much one flower a day would cost him and realized he would be spending his entire salary on flowers for his grandma. It was expensive， which meant he could not hang out with his friends after work， but Ron believed it was worth it.
　　When Ron visited Anna that afternoon， she was smiling.She told Ron someone sent her a flower just like his grandfather used to. Ron gently said that was wonderful and that it was so good to see her look better. Ron kept those flowers coming， no matter what it cost. Anna slowly recovered her love of life， and she is now planning that trip to France she always dreamed of with Ron’s family.She never found out who was sending the flowers， and Ron is still keeping that a secret.

Beethoven： a remarkable① life
　　On 7 May 1824， a crowd of② music lovers streamed③ into a theatre in Vienna to hear the first-ever④ performance of the great Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No.9⑤. The crowd immediately recognized that they were listening to something truly special， and they broke into enthusiastic⑥ cheers at the end of⑦ the symphony.[1] Beethoven， who was almost completely deaf at this point in his life， was unaware of⑧the audience’s response⑨ until one of the singers turned him around⑩ to face the crowd. [2]Before him， he saw a sea of people all standing， clapping， and waving their hats and handkerchiefs to express their appreciation of his masterwork.
　　[1]本句為主從復合句。who引導非限制性定語從句，修飾Beethoven；until引導時間狀語從句。
[2]本句為含有see的復合結構。see sb doing sth表示“看到某人正在做某事”，并列的動詞-ing短語standing， clapping， and waving their hats and handkerchiefs用作賓語補足語；waving 短語中的to express their appreciation of his masterwork用作目的狀語。
　　[3]Symphony No.9 was Beethoven’s last major piece of music in a vast body of works written throughout his remarkable life. As a giftedchild， Beethoven was pushed by his father to study music day and night .Not long after， he began to be appreciated for his piano performances. [4]By the time he was a teenager， he had already enjoyed a reputation as a wonderful young musician. Many important figures in the music world， including the brilliant musician Mozart， started making predictions about Beethoven’s extraordinary future.However， life took a sharp turn .In his late twenties ， Beethoven suffered one of the worst possible twists for a musician： he started to lose his hearing.
　　[3]句中過去分詞短語written throughout his remarkable life作后置定語，修飾前面的名詞works。
　　[4]句中By the time引導時間狀語從句，從句用一般過去時，主句用過去完成時。
　　The loss of his hearing deeply depressed Beethoven.[5]He was so upset that， at first ， he wanted to keep it a secret . In a letter to his brothers， he wrote， “...how could I possibly admit a weakness in the one sense which should be more perfect in me than in others， a sense which I once possessed in the greatest perfection ...” Even in his darkest moments， however， Beethoven never abandoned hope.Despite his hearing loss， he was determined to find a way to continue living a life full of music.He used a variety of hearing aids to try to increase the amount of sound he could take in.[6]When composing music at the piano， he would put one end of a pencil in his mouth and place the other end against the instrument so that he could feel the notes. Although Beethoven was able to continue composing music， it became increasingly difficult for him to perform in public. When Beethoven presented Symphony No.9 in Vienna in 1824， it was his first time on stage in over ten years.
　　[5]句中so ...that ...意為“如此……以至于……”，that引導結果狀語從句。
[6]When composing music at the piano是時間狀語從句的省略，相當于When he was composing music at the piano。so that引導目的狀語從句。
　　Since that day， Beethoven’s Symphony No.9 has become one of the most famous and treasured pieces in the history of classical music. The first movement starts quietly， but all of a sudden the whole orchestra breaks into an energetic theme.You can soon feel the determination — a quality Beethoven understood well because of his hearing difficulties — coursing through the music.[7]The next two movements are full of desperate lows and uplifting highs which perhaps reflect both his suffering and his strong will to fight it. [8]The music moves through technically difficult sections with ease ， showing his genius as a composer. Finally， in the fourth movement， he connects all of the different variations into a joyful chorus .
　　[7]本句為主從復合句。which引導定語從句，修飾先行詞desperate lows and uplifting highs在從句中作主語。
　　[8]本句是簡單句。句中showing his genius as a composer為動詞-ing短語作狀語。
　　As Beethoven’s last great work， his Symphony No.9 was also a grand finale to his life — he died less than three years after the concert in Vienna， aged 56.For his amazing achievements and for his determination even in his darkest days， Beethoven is regarded as one of the most remarkable musicians who ever lived.

貝多芬：非凡的一生
1824年5月7日，一群音樂愛好者涌入維也納一家劇院，去聽偉大的路德維?！し病へ惗喾摇兜诰沤豁懬返氖讏鲅莩?。聽眾很快意識到他們所聽絕非凡品，演出結束的那一刻，全場爆發出熱情的歡呼。當時貝多芬已近全聾，直到一位領唱扶他轉過身來，面向觀眾，他才發覺反響之熱烈。他看見眼前的人山人海全部起立，有的鼓掌，有的揮舞帽子和手帕，表達著對這部杰作的贊賞。
貝多芬非凡的一生留下了極為豐厚的作品，《第九交響曲》是他最后一部大型作品。貝多芬幼年即展露才華，在父親管教下夜以繼日地學習音樂。沒過多久，他的鋼琴演奏已受人賞識。他少年時就已被譽為一名出色的年輕音樂家。不少音樂領域的重要人物，包括才華卓絕的莫扎特，都紛紛對他不可限量的前程給出預言。然而，厄運突至，不到三十歲，貝多芬就開始經受對音樂家來說至為殘酷的挫折：他的聽覺開始衰退了。
聽覺下降令貝多芬深受打擊。他痛苦不堪，起初只想盡量隱瞞。他在給弟弟的信中說：“……這樣一種在我身上本應比別人更加完美的感官，這樣一種我曾擁有絕頂稟賦的感官，如今怎能讓我承認它有了缺陷……”然而，即使在那些最晦暗的時刻，貝多芬都不曾放棄希望。雖然聽不清了，但他決心想辦法讓生活繼續充滿音樂。他嘗試各種各樣的助聽設備，讓自己聽到更多的聲音。在鋼琴上作曲時，他將鉛筆的一端含在嘴里，另一端頂住鋼琴，這樣就能感受到音符。作曲還可以繼續，但公開演出對于他而言越來越艱難了。1824年在維也納指揮這場《第九交響曲》，是他十多年來第一次登臺。
　　從此，貝多芬《第九交響曲》成為古典音樂史上最著名和最受珍視的作品之一。交響曲第一章先是在平靜中開始，隨后，樂隊全體猛然奏出一個強烈的主題。很快你就能感受到這種貫穿在音樂中的決心，這是貝多芬因自己的聽力問題而深刻體會到的品質。接下來的兩個樂章，充滿了絕望的低聲部和激越的高聲部，或許分別反映了作曲家的痛苦和與之抗爭的堅強意志。這首樂曲將技術上棘手的部分處理得輕松自如，顯示出他作為作曲家的天賦。最后，在第四樂章中，他把所有不同的變奏連接成歡樂的合唱。
《第九交響曲》是貝多芬最后一部偉大的作品，也是他的人生絕唱——距這場維也納音樂會舉辦未滿三年，他就去世了，終年五十六歲。他驚人的藝術成就，以及在至暗歲月里都不曾動搖的頑強毅力，使他被公認為有史以來最卓越的音樂家之一。

clapping， and waving their hats and handkerchiefs to express their
appreciation of his masterwork.

as a wonderful young musician. Many important figures in the music

upset that， at first ， he wanted to keep it a secret . In a letter to his
brothers， he wrote， “...how could I possibly admit a weakness in the
one sense which should be more perfect in me than in others， a sense
which I once possessed in the greatest perfection ...” Even in his darkest
moments， however， Beethoven never abandoned hope.Despite his
hearing loss， he was determined to find a way to continue living a life
full of music.He used a variety of hearing aids to try to increase the
amount of sound he could take in.[6]When composing music at the
piano， he would put one end of a pencil in his mouth and place the other
end against the instrument so that he could feel the notes. Although
Beethoven was able to continue composing music， it became increasingly
difficult for him to perform in public. When Beethoven presented
Symphony No.9 in Vienna in 1824， it was his first time on stage in over
ten years.
　　[5]句中so ...that ...意為“如此……以至于……”，that引導結果

a variety of 各種各樣的；多種多樣的
　　Since that day， Beethoven’s Symphony No.9 has become one of the
most famous and treasured pieces in the history of classical music. The
first movement starts quietly， but all of a sudden the whole orchestra
breaks into an energetic theme.You can soon feel the determination — a
quality Beethoven understood well because of his hearing difficulties —
coursing through the music.[7]The next two movements are full of
desperate lows and uplifting highs which perhaps reflect both his
suffering and his strong will to fight it.
[8]The music moves through technically difficult sections with ease ，
showing his genius as a composer. Finally， in the fourth movement，
he connects all of the different variations into a joyful chorus .
　　[7]本句為主從復合句。which引導定語從句，修飾先行詞

貝多芬：非凡的一生
1824年5月7日，一群音樂愛好者涌入維也納一家劇院，去聽偉大
的路德維希·凡·貝多芬《第九交響曲》的首場演出。聽眾很快意識到
他們所聽絕非凡品，演出結束的那一刻，全場爆發出熱情的歡呼。當
時貝多芬已近全聾，直到一位領唱扶他轉過身來，面向觀眾，他才發
覺反響之熱烈。他看見眼前的人山人海全部起立，有的鼓掌，有的揮
舞帽子和手帕，表達著對這部杰作的贊賞。
貝多芬非凡的一生留下了極為豐厚的作品，《第九交響曲》是他
最后一部大型作品。貝多芬幼年即展露才華，在父親管教下夜以繼日
地學習音樂。沒過多久，他的鋼琴演奏已受人賞識。他少年時就已被
譽為一名出色的年輕音樂家。不少音樂領域的重要人物，包括才華卓
絕的莫扎特，都紛紛對他不可限量的前程給出預言。然而，厄運突
至，不到三十歲，貝多芬就開始經受對音樂家來說至為殘酷的挫折：
他的聽覺開始衰退了。
聽覺下降令貝多芬深受打擊。他痛苦不堪，起初只想盡量隱瞞。
他在給弟弟的信中說：“……這樣一種在我身上本應比別人更加完美
的感官，這樣一種我曾擁有絕頂稟賦的感官，如今怎能讓我承認它有
了缺陷……”然而，即使在那些最晦暗的時刻，貝多芬都不曾放棄希
望。雖然聽不清了，但他決心想辦法讓生活繼續充滿音樂。他嘗試各
種各樣的助聽設備，讓自己聽到更多的聲音。在鋼琴上作曲時，他將
鉛筆的一端含在嘴里，另一端頂住鋼琴，這樣就能感受到音符。作曲
還可以繼續，但公開演出對于他而言越來越艱難了。1824年在維也納
指揮這場《第九交響曲》，是他十多年來第一次登臺。
　　從此，貝多芬《第九交響曲》成為古典音樂史上最著名和最受珍
視的作品之一。交響曲第一章先是在平靜中開始，隨后，樂隊全體猛
然奏出一個強烈的主題。很快你就能感受到這種貫穿在音樂中的決
心，這是貝多芬因自己的聽力問題而深刻體會到的品質。接下來的兩
個樂章，充滿了絕望的低聲部和激越的高聲部，或許分別反映了作曲
家的痛苦和與之抗爭的堅強意志。這首樂曲將技術上棘手的部分處理
得輕松自如，顯示出他作為作曲家的天賦。最后，在第四樂章中，他
把所有不同的變奏連接成歡樂的合唱。
《第九交響曲》是貝多芬最后一部偉大的作品，也是他的人生絕
唱——距這場維也納音樂會舉辦未滿三年，他就去世了，終年五十六
歲。他驚人的藝術成就，以及在至暗歲月里都不曾動搖的頑強毅力，
使他被公認為有史以來最卓越的音樂家之一。

Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
　　The late， great producer Phil Ramone worked with many famous
popular singers.However， one of his albums is a little different.It’s
classical music， made for children.
　　“He actually started as a child violinist，” said Marc Neikrug， a
famous classical composer who worked together with Ramone on the
album “Sunken Cathedrals”， after being introduced by Rock
Positano， a doctor with a special interest in music’s value to
medicine.“The three of us all want to promote classical music to
children.”
　　In the digital age when children develop surrounded by constant
distractions， however， Neikrug sees a very particular value in classical
music.“I’m concerned about a world in which there is an almost
aggressive move to lower people’s attention spans，” he said.“That’s
terrifying.How do you even absorb and learn things？ How do you expect
kids to do well in school？”
　　“I think it’s really important to let kids build some kind of ability to
focus，” Neikrug said.“Great music can do that， because you’re
drawn into what you’re listening to.”“A two- or three-minute music may
not seem so long to concentrate on， but it’s a good attention span for
kids，” he said.“We picked the pieces very deliberately to be not too
long.”
All of the pieces on the two-part album are unadapted， complete
works of classical music.“Phil， Dr Rock and I were all completely
convinced that we need little， short， beautiful pieces for kids.They
happen to be really good for adults too，” he pointed out， though the
words “Classics for Kids” on the cover might scare some grown people
off.This doesn’t mean you should throw all of your popular music albums
away or trash all the screen devices in your home.“I’m not an advocate
for disregarding the reality of living in this world，” Neikrug said.“I
would say someone who grows up able to focus for an hour and equally
able to use the smartphone with one hand， is fine.”

　　As humans， we’ve built connections and bonds with certain genres
（類型） or musical styles as a way to express ourselves. Music is a
powerful tool to convey information about ourselves. A recent study is
offering new insight into how our favourite tunes are linked to our
personalities.
　　The study spanning six continents with more than 350，000
participants showed that personality types are linked with certain musical
preferences. During the study， people from more than 50 countries self-
reported their enjoyment of 23 different music genres while also
completing a personality questionnaire. The researchers also had the
participants listen to brief clips of music from 16 different genres of
Western music and rank them.
　　Songs like Ed Sheeran’s Shivers appeal to extroverts （性格外向
者）， while adorable people would be happy to listen to What’s Going
On by Marvin Gaye. Meanwhile， open people tend to enjoy Nina
Simone’s songs or David Bowie’s classic Space Oddity. And all of these
types of songs have appeal that crosses national borders， according to the
study.
　　“We were surprised at just how much these patterns between music
and personality were alike across the globe，”said study author David
Greenberg， honorary research associate at the University of Cambridge，
in a statement.
　　“People may be divided by geography， language and culture， but
if an extrovert in one part of the world likes the same music as extroverts
elsewhere，” said Greenberg， “that suggests that music could be a
very powerful bridge. Music helps people to understand one another and
find common ground.”
　　The researchers acknowledge that musical taste isn’t set in stone and
can change. But the study provides a foundation for understanding how
music can cross other social divisions and bring people together.

Ⅱ.閱讀七選五
　　In the super fast-paced world we live in， happiness may not come as
easily as we wish. Here are some tips to make us live happily.
　　Don’t avoid or ignore negativity.
　　 　9　 This can include people in your life who may be bringing you
down， a hostile workplace environment or even a personal stressor that
you haven’t conquered quite yet. You are in control of your environment
and if these negative situations keep making an appearance， it’s up to you
to handle them.
　　Take care of yourself and satisfy your needs.
　　In order to live a powerful and meaningful life， you must love
yourself. Take care of your actions and how you live each day， and this
will be reflected in your thoughts and emotional states of mind. 　10　
　　
　　Mend what’s broken or get rid of it.
Determining what is worth your time and effort and what is not can be
challenging. If situations are beyond repair， it’s time to let go. Are there
relationships or friendships that remain damaged but you know are worth
the time？ 　11　 Do what you can to find love in situations where it may
have been absent in the past.
　　 　12　
　　Giving our time， energy， love and sometimes money is what life is
about. 　13　 My mom taught me a quote she learned in Mexico that
stuck with me forever， “Donde come uno， comen dos.（Where one
can eat， two can eat.）” It moves me every time I say it out loud. At the
end of the day， no matter what you have you are likely in a position to
give something small to someone else who needs it. Don’t hesitate.
A. Give back.
B. Be positive.
C. Fix them and find peace.
D. Do more of what makes you happy.
E. Love yourself fully in order to love others fully.
F. Everything we put out into the world comes back to us.
G. In order to conquer and overcome， it must be acknowledged.

9. G　根據本段的小標題可知，不要避開或忽視負面的東西。下文列
舉了生活中可能存在的負面狀況，并鼓勵人們對它們進行控制和處
理。所以要想克服與戰勝負面的東西，就必須先承認它們。故G項符
合語境。

后本段介紹了如何好好關愛自己。E項（為了充分愛別人，你要先充
分愛自己）可作為總結句，符合語境。
11. C　根據空前一句（有沒有一些受損的關系或友情是你認為值得花
時間來維持的？）并結合下文可知，你需要盡你所能從過去那些不曾
有愛的場景中發現愛。C項（修復它們，并且尋求平靜）承上啟下，
符合語境。
12. A　根據設空處的位置可知，此處為本段的小標題。本部分表明人
生的真諦是付出我們的時間、精力、愛和金錢，無論你擁有的是什
么，你都可以分享一小部分給其他有需要的人。A項（回饋）可概括
本段內容，符合語境。
13. F　根據空前一句可知，本段主題是回饋，生活就是我們付出的時
間、精力、愛以及金錢。由此可判斷，F項（我們向這個世界付出的
一切也會回饋給我們）符合語境。

Ⅳ.讀后續寫
　　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。
　　When Anna thought she finally knew what life was all about， it dealt
her a terrible blow. Her husband of fifty years， Ronald， passed away
suddenly at the age of seventy-five.
　　Anna and Ronald had been making plans to get away on a dream trip
to France； now it was too late. Anna was so sad that no one could comfort
her， and her daughter Clara even started considering taking her to a
doctor.
　　“I’m so worried about Mom，” Clara said to her husband and
son， Ron， over dinner. “It’s been over six months， and she just
mopes （悶悶不樂）. She won’t leave the house， not for anything.”
　　Ron， a fourteen-year-old who’d always been very close to his
grandparents， was upset. “Poor Grandma！” he said. “I miss
Grandpa too， but he was her world. They did everything together ...What
if I start taking her out in the afternoon for walks the way Grandpa used
to？”
　　“That’s a great idea， Ron！” his mother cried. “That’s so kind of
you！”
　　So the next day， Ron showed up at his grandma’s house an hour
before sunset. He invited Anna to walk down to the lake and watch the
sunset， but she refused.
　　Anna turned her face away and said， “Don’t bother me， Ron. Run
along and do something useful！”
　　Ron was hurt by his grandmother’s words， but what he didn’t know
was that she was just as upset. “Why did I say that to the poor
boy？”she asked herself. “He was only trying to help ...”
　　That night Ron told his mom what had happened. “Maybe she
doesn’t want our help， Mom，” he said sadly.
　　“She may not want it，” Clara said. “But she definitely needs it.
Grandpa wouldn’t want to see her wasting away like this. He loved life，
and he adored Grandma.”
　　“Yeah！” Ron said. “It was embarrassing to see two such old
people holding hands. And he always brought her flowers！”
　　That was when the great idea struck Ron. He was going to buy his
grandmother flowers every day like his grandpa used to. Maybe a daily
reminder that she was loved would turn things around. He decided not to
say a word to his mom and to do this for his grandmother all by himself.
注意：1.續寫詞數應為150左右；
2. 請按如下格式作答。
　　Ron had a new weekend job， and he had just received his very
first salary. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　
　　When Ron visited Anna that afternoon， she was smiling. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　
參考范文：
　　Ron had a new weekend job， and he had just received his very first
salary.The next day， he went to the local flower shop and ordered a
flower to be delivered to Anna’s house that afternoon. When the clerk
presented Ron with the bill， he worked out how much one flower a day
would cost him and realized he would be spending his entire salary on
flowers for his grandma. It was expensive， which meant he could not
hang out with his friends after work， but Ron believed it was worth it.
　　When Ron visited Anna that afternoon， she was smiling.She told
Ron someone sent her a flower just like his grandfather used to. Ron gently
said that was wonderful and that it was so good to see her look better. Ron
kept those flowers coming， no matter what it cost. Anna slowly recovered
her love of life， and she is now planning that trip to France she always
dreamed of with Ron’s family.She never found out who was sending the
flowers， and Ron is still keeping that a secret.
