Indiana Dunes National Park
Stretching along 15 miles of Lake Michigan shoreline and covering more than 15，000 acres，this Midwestern park is ideal for relaxing on a beach，hiking the 50 miles of trails， and exploring the diverse ecosystem.The sands are the main attraction with rare plants， and various birds.The national park is free to visit.

The letter from the principal couldn’t have been clearer：The bus will pick up your new kindergartner at the designated bus stop. Parents are not to ride with children on the bus， and under no circumstances are parents to come to the school， whether to drop off their children or to take pictures. Parking is tight， even for teachers， staff， and buses， and additional cars are strictly forbidden at the beginning or end of the school day.
　　That was all understandable but they didn’t know my five-year-old twins. Shy and sensitive， they hid whenever the doorbell rang. My fear on that first day of school was that my girls would hide under a bus seat， or somehow get lost or stolen. The first day of school wouldn’t be easy for them （me）.
　　The day finally came. The bus was late， and I watched Morgan and Chloe get on， turn and wave on the top step. Okay， then I ran like hell. But I ran before the bus， not after the bus. Can’t a woman go for a run？
　　The bus finally overtook me a few hundred yards before the school building. Panting， I made my way to the front entrance， hidden safely behind a large SUV. I had a bird’s-eye view of every child that climbed down the bus steps and walked into the school doors. I willed my breath to quiet down and I concentrated hard on just being still because getting caught would be beyond embarrassing. Sweat dripped down my forehead and mixed with the sunblock （防曬霜） I had thoughtfully applied hours before， stinging my eyes and making me shed tears.
　　A few minutes went by. Two more buses emptied and left， and then there they were！ Chloe smiled shyly as the principal gave her a big smile and “Welcome！” Morgan stayed tightly behind， chin down， but she was smiling and holding her sister’s hand. I said it was the sweat and the sunblock that made me shed tears. I was lying about that part.
24.What’s the purpose of the letter from the principal？（　　）
A.To make some requests. B.To offer some instructions.
C.To inform parents of some matters. D.To remind parents of coming events.
25.Why did the author run to the school？（　　）
A.To visit the school. B.To watch her twins.
C.To call on the principal. D.To accompany her twins.
26.How did the author feel when she was behind a SUV？（　　）
A.Happy and excited. B.Nervous and worried.
C.Curious and surprised. D.Sad and disappointed.
27.What was the author lying about？（　　）
A.The reason why she shed tears. B.The fact that she used sunblock.
C.The reason why she ran to school. D.The fact that she hid behind a SUV.
C
Can a person even have too many friends？ After all， having friends is inherently good， for countless reasons， many of which are obvious.
And showing the world that you have lots of friends — for example on social media — seems like a winning strategy. If， that is， your goal is to expand your social network. Once people see how popular you are， they’ll want to join that popular club， perhaps in hopes that some of your popularity will rub off on them.
But in fact， a new study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology shows that having too many friends works against you. In a series of experiments， the authors show that people usually prefer to befriend people who have fewer friends than they do， not more.
Nonetheless， people consistently predict， incorrectly， that if you have more friends， people will be more likely to want to befriend you. The authors call this phenomenon the “friend-number paradox （悖論）”， which is also the title of their new paper.
Social ties are obviously important. Having more of these connections implies greater social value， and more likeability. So it seems reasonable to assume that people will focus their social energies on befriending people who have lots of friends already.
But the problem is that these social ties are only valuable if there’s reciprocity （互惠） involved. Friendship goes hand in hand with certain implied obligations and expectations. And people with lots of friends may not be able to fulfill those obligations — especially people with too many friends.
In other words， “relationship quality” matters as much， if not more， than merely the number of friends you have. Having lots of friends means your precious social resources become diluted （稀釋）， making you less able to be a good friend. And other people take that into account， consciously or unconsciously， when deciding whether to befriend you. They don’t want to spend their valuable social capital on someone who’s unlikely to pay it back.
28.What is the underlined phrase “rub off on” in Paragraph 2 closest in meaning to？（　　）
A.Present a threat to. B.Make a contribution to.
C.Leave an impression on. D.Have a positive effect on.
29.What does the “friend-number paradox” reveal？（　　）
A.The secrets to becoming popular. B.The ways of winning more friends.
C.The problems with having many friends. D.The advantages of having many friends.
30.What does the author think of people with lots of friends？（　　）
A.They fail to perform their duties. B.They don’t know about reciprocity.
C.They are more likely to be good friends. D.They have more precious social resources.
31.What would be the best title for the text？（　　）
A.How People Choose Their Friends
B.Why People Like Having More Friends
C.More Friends Are Not Necessarily Better
D.People With More Friends Are More Popular
D
　　Have you ever wondered how many cigarettes you’re passively smoking while walking through the streets of a polluted， smog-infused （煙霧籠罩的） city？ No？ Well， a pair of digital developers just invented an app that will definitely and accurately answer that question.
　　Shit，I Smoke！ was created by Brazilian-born designer Marcelo Coelho and Paris-born app developer Amaury Martiny in just a week， after they read a study that analysed air pollution and its equivalent （等量） to cigarette smoking.The article，co-written by Richard Mueller，a MacArthur fellow and physics professor at the University of California，Berkeley，explains a mathematical model that compares smoking and tobacco-related deaths to levels of PM2.5，a microscopic particle （微粒） that is a dangerous，cancerous pollutant after burning.
　　The app shows that Parisians can effectively inhale （吸入） between three and six cigarettes per day， while a person in Delhi could be smoking up to 20 cigarettes — without even touching one — on a bad day.Other cities have worrying numbers，too （6.5 cigarettes daily in Mexico City）.
　　“I was surprised to see that Buenos Aires and Sao Paulo have the best air quality in all Latin America，despite the fact that these are heavily populated cities，” said Coelho， who’s originally from the latter， Brazil’s largest city.
　　For both Coelho and Martiny， the app isn’t only a useful tool to inform users about their city’s air quality； it also makes this information more accessible and easier to understand.“These air-quality monitoring stations are just numbers，numbers that are very specific to professionals who work in environmental issues，” Martiny said.“So when you make this conversion （轉換） to cigarettes， it makes it easier to understand what people are dealing with and the consequences air quality has in the daily lives.”
　　The developers’ plan now is to keep working on and enriching the app’s features.This will most likely include monthly average cigarette rates， and enabling users to get data from cities other than the one they’re in.
32.What does the underlined part “that question” in Paragraph 1 mean？（　　）
A.How severely a city’s air is polluted.
B.How harmful it is to smoke in urban areas.
C.How many cigarettes one usually smokes daily.
D.How much harmful air you’re taking in in urban areas.
33.According to Shit，I Smoke！，which city has the worst air quality？（　　）
A.Paris.　　　　　 　B.Delhi. C.Mexico City.　　　　　　D.Sao Paulo.
34.Before Coelho used the app，he probably thought that 　　　　.（　　）
A.Brazil might have good air
B.his hometown was a badly polluted city
C.air pollution wasn’t a problem in Latin America
D.Buenos Aires had the best air quality in Latin America
35.In the opinion of Coelho and Martiny， what is the usage of the app？（　　）
A.Encouraging people to abandon the habit of smoking.
B.Recommending some best places for people to live in.
C.Helping people better know their everyday air quality.
D.Reminding people to do something good for the environment.

　　Helping and being kind not only contributes to the happiness of others， it can also help us to feel happier ourselves！ Studies have shown that when we do kind things， it can literally give our brain a boost， activating its “reward centres” and that feels good. 37.（　　）
　　Giving and kindness also help us feel connected to others， which is important for our wellbeing and contributes to building stronger communities and a happier society for everyone.
　　38.（　　） From small acts like a friendly smile， a few kind words， helping with bags， or offering up our seat， through to regular volunteering — there are lots of different ways we can give or be kind. We can of course donate money to good causes if we are able to and we can give in lots of non-financial ways too， such as giving a moment of attention， some of our time， knowledge， ideas， energy or support.
　　39.（　　） These include： experiencing more positive emotions and satisfaction with life， increasing our sense of meaning， and boosting our self-confidence. It can reduce stress and help us feel calmer too. Some studies have found that people who volunteered regularly were found to experience fewer symptoms of depression and anxiety.
　　Giving and being kind can help us feel more connected to others and contribute to improving our relationships — and that’s good for wellbeing all round！ Our acts of kindness might be for family， friends， colleagues， or neighbours or even strangers. 40.（　　） It could be a one-off spontaneous （自發的） gesture or something we do regularly. There are always ways to be kind.
A.Every act of kindness counts.
B.Happier people tend to help others more.
C.It can take our minds off our own worries too.

When I was young， my mother was going to Florida to visit my grandmother.I begged her to take me with her.“I’ll take you， but remember，” my mother warned me，“Grandma is sick.” I had seen plenty of sick people before， so I figured it wouldn’t be a big deal.Besides， by the time we got to Florida， my grandma would probably be okay.Then we would have fun just as we used to.I remembered how excited I had felt the summer before when my grandma carried me on her shoulders down the streets.
Grandma was a great storyteller and her stories made me feel special whenever she told them.“Grandma， tell me a story，” I’d say， and she would always begin the story， “Once upon a time there was a boy named Billy ...” Every story started with a boy named after me.When I arrived at her house， my first words were going to be，“Grandma， tell me a story.”
When I got to Grandma’s house， she didn’t come out to meet me.Even after I ran up the steps， she still didn’t come out to meet me.I went into her bedroom.Instantly， I was seized by terror and disgust， because what I saw in that room wasn’t my happy-go-lucky （樂天的） grandmother.It was a crumpled body， thin and weak.
That night as I lay in bed， I heard my grandma moaning （呻吟） in pain.It had the same effect on me as someone running fingernails across the blackboard.It was so annoying that I just wanted to tell her to stop.However， I didn’t and it continued all night.
A few weeks after we came home， my mother asked me whether it was all right if Grandma came to live with us.I said yes， but in reality I never wanted to see her again.Although my grandma lived with us for the next few months， I never went into her room.She couldn’t get out of bed.I didn’t have to see her.

The film can only be seen at a new cinema inside the Science Museum.It’s showing this Sunday with performances every hour from midday onwards， with the last showing at 5 o’clock， two hours before the museum closes.
So why not take the whole family to the museum this Sunday？ There are lots to do.Children will want to head straight down to the basement where the computers are kept.I promise you they’ll come away with all sorts of exciting pictures they’ve created.Moving to the first floor， a working steam engine and a life-sized model of a spaceship are among the favourite exhibits.
Entrance to the museum is free on Sundays， but it would normally cost $3.25 to go and see the film.To get your free tickets， you should e-mail this program by midday on Friday.We’ve only got a limited number of tickets， so the earlier you e-mail us， the more likely you are to get one.
So go ahead with the writing after this song.

28.D　詞義猜測題。根據上文可知，一旦人們看到你很受歡迎，他們就會想加入那個受歡迎的俱樂部；顯然，他們這么做是希望從中獲益，也就是受到積極的影響。因此畫線短語意為“有一個積極的影響”。
29.C　推理判斷題。根據第三、四段可知，人們普遍認為，自己朋友越多就越會吸引更多人與自己交朋友，而研究結果卻恰好相反——人們更喜歡與比自己朋友少的人交朋友。這就是所謂的“朋友數量悖論”，這揭示了朋友多也有其弊端。
30.A　細節理解題。根據最后兩段可知，作者認為，朋友交往的本質是互惠互利，而朋友太多的人往往由于自己的有限社交資源被稀釋而無法去承擔社交中的義務和責任，這往往會讓朋友失望并留下不好的印象。
31.C　標題歸納題。綜合全文可知，本文主要講述了一個奇特的現象：人們更喜歡與朋友更少的人交朋友，另外，朋友太多的人往往會在社交中表現得不那么令對方滿意。這些都說明朋友并非越多越好。因此C項為文章最佳標題。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了一款應用程序，它能夠將空氣污染程度轉換成等于吸了多少支煙，從而讓人們更容易了解空氣質量。
32.D　詞義理解題。根據第一段內容可知，that question指代上文的how many cigarettes ...smog-infused （煙霧籠罩的） city。由此可知，that question 指的是在污染嚴重的城市里，你被動地吸入了相當于多少支煙的有害氣體。
33.B　細節理解題。根據第三、四段內容，并比較四個城市的數據可知，新德里的空氣污染情況最嚴重。
34.B　推理判斷題。根據第四段Coelho 所說的話可知，在使用該應用程序之后，他才發現圣保羅空氣質量是最好的，也就是說在使用該應用程序之前，他覺得他的家鄉圣保羅的空氣質量很差，污染嚴重。
35.C　推理判斷題。根據第五段中的when you make this conversion （轉換） to cigarettes， it makes it easier to understand ...in the daily lives可知，該應用程序將空氣污染程度轉換成抽多少支煙這樣具體的數字，更容易讓人們了解空氣質量如何。
36.E　37.C　38.A　39.G　40.D
第三部分
語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。45歲的Nate Carroll是三個孩子的父親，可是他打破了一項做俯臥撐的世界紀錄。
41.A　事實上，Nate Carroll創造了一項新的世界紀錄。
42.D　Nate Carroll在一年內完成了超過150萬個俯臥撐。
43.A　Nate Carroll是在2020年6月14日開始他的這一挑戰的。launch表示“開始從事；發起”。
44.B　下文列舉了Nate Carroll做俯臥撐的兩個目的。
45.C　Nate Carroll的第一個目的是給他的孩子們提供一個堅持不懈的榜樣。
46.B　Nate Carroll給他的孩子們樹立的是一個積極上進的榜樣。
47.D　另外，Nate Carroll還致力于為慈善籌款。devote one’s time to doing sth表示“某人致力于做某事”。
48.A　Nate Carroll每天上班，還要在繁忙的日程安排中抽出時間做幾千個俯臥撐。busy schedule表示“繁忙的日程安排”。
49.B　Nate Carroll對《威斯康星州報》的記者說：“每天留出時間集中做4，000個俯臥撐是不可能的。”set aside表示“省出，留出（錢或時間）”。
50.B　Nate Carroll接著說：“你需要接受這樣一個事實——你必須將做俯臥撐穿插到每天的日常活動中。”
51.A　為了獲得“吉尼斯世界紀錄”這一稱號，Nate Carroll每天都要對自己的俯臥撐進行認真記錄。claim表示“獲得；贏得”。
52.D　參見上題解析。
53.C　Nate Carroll長達一年堅持做俯臥撐，這是一段艱辛的旅程。
54.D　Nate Carroll認為：我們首先要確立一個目標，然后全力以赴去達成目標。achieve/attain/reach a goal是固定搭配，表示“（憑長期努力）達成目標”。
55.A　當我們面對一些挫折困難時，找借口是一件很方便的事。

第四部分
第一節
　　World Environment Day falls on 5 June every year， which is a time for us to raise our awareness of protecting the environment and promoting sustainability.
　　On World Environment Day last week， all the students took an active part in building a greener Earth. Some students organised a clean-up campaign in the park to remove litter and waste. Others participated in tree-planting activities in the community. Still others tried to make better use of used materials， who brought to school worn-out clothes， plastic bottles， and turned them into dolls， handbags， tissue boxes and small vases.
　　World Environment Day reminds us that each of us can make a difference in protecting the environment and creating a more sustainable future for our generations to come.
第二節
　　One day， my grandma called me as I walked by her room.I didn’t want to go. But she called me several times， so I had to go in.The moment I entered the room， I smelled a strong smell of medicine mixed with other smells.My grandmother lay in bed， her cheekbones high， her cheeks sunken， and her face and hands wrinkled.Seeing this， I couldn’t help stopping my steps.
I was about to run out of the room and leave the scene behind forever when she began to tell a story.I burst into tears when I heard “There was a boy named Billy ...”.I went over and sat by the bed， holding my grandmother’s hand and listening to her story.Although her voice was weak， it was enough to remind me of those happy days in the past.I smiled at my grandmother and listened to her quietly.

The Most Popular National Parks in the US
　　Famously called“America’s best idea”by the novelist and
historian Wallace Stegner， the US National Park System offers families a
wonderfully affordable way to visit America’s most popular and beautiful
landscapes.
Hot Springs National Park
This national park is unique because it’s more of an urban park than
a distant wilderness.Located right next to the city of Hot Springs， this is
also the country’s smallest national park， covering 5，550 acres.The
main attractions here are the historic bathhouses and hot springs that the
park was established to protect.
Acadia National Park
This park on the Maine Coast is home to various plants and animals
and the tallest mountain on the Atlantic Coast.Today visitors come to
Acadia to hike rock peaks， bike historic carriage roads， or relax and
enjoy the coastal scenery.
Shenandoah National Park
Occupied by settlers for at least 100 years，it covers 200，000 acres
of Virginia wilderness.The 105-mile Skyline Drive traces the Blue Ridge
Mountains and offers many jumping-off points to see the beauty of this
park.Beyond the scenic drive， you can explore the park’s many
offerings through hiking， biking， and horseback riding.
Indiana Dunes National Park
Stretching along 15 miles of Lake Michigan shoreline and covering
more than 15，000 acres，this Midwestern park is ideal for relaxing on a
beach，hiking the 50 miles of trails， and exploring the diverse
ecosystem.The sands are the main attraction with rare plants， and various
birds.The national park is free to visit.

B. It is located in the suburb.
C. It isn’t a faraway wilderness.
D. It is the city’s largest national park.
解析：　細節理解題。根據Hot Springs National Park部分中的
This national park is unique because it’s more of an urban park than a
distant wilderness.可知，這個國家公園是獨一無二的，因為它更
像是一個城市公園而不是一個遙遠的荒野。
22. What can you do in Shenandoah National Park？（　　）
A. Talk about its history with settlers.
B. Record the beauty of this park.
C. Ride a horse to explore its beauty.
D. Enjoy the park’s coastal scenery.
解析：　細節理解題。根據Shenandoah National Park部分中的

and horseback riding可知，在謝南多厄國家公園可以通過徒步旅
行、騎自行車和騎馬等方式探索公園。
23. Which of the following parks can you visit free of charge？（　　）
A. Acadia National Park.
B. Hot Springs National Park.

園是免費的。
B
The letter from the principal couldn’t have been clearer：The bus
will pick up your new kindergartner at the designated bus stop. Parents are
not to ride with children on the bus， and under no circumstances are
parents to come to the school， whether to drop off their children or to take
pictures. Parking is tight， even for teachers， staff， and buses， and
additional cars are strictly forbidden at the beginning or end of the school
day.
　　That was all understandable but they didn’t know my five-year-old
twins. Shy and sensitive， they hid whenever the doorbell rang. My fear
on that first day of school was that my girls would hide under a bus seat，
or somehow get lost or stolen. The first day of school wouldn’t be easy
for them （me）.
　　The day finally came. The bus was late， and I watched Morgan and
Chloe get on， turn and wave on the top step. Okay， then I ran like hell.
But I ran before the bus， not after the bus. Can’t a woman go for a
run？
　　The bus finally overtook me a few hundred yards before the school
building. Panting， I made my way to the front entrance， hidden safely
behind a large SUV. I had a bird’s-eye view of every child that climbed
down the bus steps and walked into the school doors. I willed my breath to
quiet down and I concentrated hard on just being still because getting
caught would be beyond embarrassing. Sweat dripped down my forehead
and mixed with the sunblock （防曬霜） I had thoughtfully applied hours
before， stinging my eyes and making me shed tears.　　
　　A few minutes went by. Two more buses emptied and left， and then
there they were！ Chloe smiled shyly as the principal gave her a big smile
and “Welcome！” Morgan stayed tightly behind， chin down， but she
was smiling and holding her sister’s hand. I said it was the sweat and the
sunblock that made me shed tears. I was lying about that part.

24. What’s the purpose of the letter from the principal？（　　）
A. To make some requests.
B. To offer some instructions.
C. To inform parents of some matters.
D. To remind parents of coming events.
解析：　細節理解題。根據第一段可知，校長的來信主要是通
知家長一些注意事項，重點是不讓家長陪同孩子去學校。
25. Why did the author run to the school？（　　）
A. To visit the school.
B. To watch her twins.
C. To call on the principal.
D. To accompany her twins.

到學校門口，只是為了偷偷看看孩子。
26. How did the author feel when she was behind a SUV？（　　）
A. Happy and excited.
B. Nervous and worried.
C. Curious and surprised.
D. Sad and disappointed.
解析：　推理判斷題。根據第四段可知，由于作者違反學校的
規定跑到了校門口，因此她藏在一輛SUV的后面，生怕被別人發
現造成尷尬場面。由此判斷，她當時內心緊張、忐忑不安。
27. What was the author lying about？（　　）
A. The reason why she shed tears.
B. The fact that she used sunblock.
C. The reason why she ran to school.
D. The fact that she hid behind a SUV.
解析：　推理判斷題。根據最后兩段可知，作者前面說汗水和
防曬霜混合在一起，刺痛了她的眼睛，讓她流淚；文章最后一句
指出，這一點她其實在撒謊。其隱含意思是：她流淚的真正原因
是看到自己的孩子后有點難過和傷感。
C
Can a person even have too many friends？ After all， having friends
is inherently good， for countless reasons， many of which are obvious.
And showing the world that you have lots of friends — for example
on social media — seems like a winning strategy. If， that is， your goal
is to expand your social network. Once people see how popular you are，
they’ll want to join that popular club， perhaps in hopes that some of
your popularity will rub off on them.
But in fact， a new study published in the Journal of Personality and
Social Psychology shows that having too many friends works against you.
In a series of experiments， the authors show that people usually prefer to
befriend people who have fewer friends than they do， not more.
Nonetheless， people consistently predict， incorrectly， that if you
have more friends， people will be more likely to want to befriend you.
The authors call this phenomenon the “friend-number paradox （悖
論）”， which is also the title of their new paper.
Social ties are obviously important. Having more of these connections
implies greater social value， and more likeability. So it seems reasonable
to assume that people will focus their social energies on befriending people
who have lots of friends already.
But the problem is that these social ties are only valuable if there’s
reciprocity （互惠） involved. Friendship goes hand in hand with certain
implied obligations and expectations. And people with lots of friends may
not be able to fulfill those obligations — especially people with too many
friends.
In other words， “relationship quality” matters as much， if not
more， than merely the number of friends you have. Having lots of friends
means your precious social resources become diluted （稀釋）， making
you less able to be a good friend. And other people take that into
account， consciously or unconsciously， when deciding whether to
befriend you. They don’t want to spend their valuable social capital on
someone who’s unlikely to pay it back.

人們在選擇朋友時，并不愿意選擇那些朋友很多的人。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。朋友越多越好嗎？一項研究發現，
人們在選擇朋友時，并不愿意選擇那些朋友很多的人。
28. What is the underlined phrase “rub off on” in Paragraph 2 closest in
meaning to？（　　）
A. Present a threat to.
B. Make a contribution to.
C. Leave an impression on.
D. Have a positive effect on.
解析： 　詞義猜測題。根據上文可知，一旦人們看到你很受歡
迎，他們就會想加入那個受歡迎的俱樂部；顯然，他們這么做是
希望從中獲益，也就是受到積極的影響。因此畫線短語意為“有
一個積極的影響”。
29. What does the “friend-number paradox” reveal？（　　）
A. The secrets to becoming popular.
B. The ways of winning more friends.
C. The problems with having many friends.
D. The advantages of having many friends.
解析： 　推理判斷題。根據第三、四段可知，人們普遍認為，
自己朋友越多就越會吸引更多人與自己交朋友，而研究結果卻恰
好相反——人們更喜歡與比自己朋友少的人交朋友。這就是所謂
的“朋友數量悖論”，這揭示了朋友多也有其弊端。
30. What does the author think of people with lots of friends？（　　）
A. They fail to perform their duties.
B. They don’t know about reciprocity.
C. They are more likely to be good friends.
D. They have more precious social resources.
解析： 　細節理解題。根據最后兩段可知，作者認為，朋友交
往的本質是互惠互利，而朋友太多的人往往由于自己的有限社交
資源被稀釋而無法去承擔社交中的義務和責任，這往往會讓朋友
失望并留下不好的印象。
31. What would be the best title for the text？（　　）
A. How People Choose Their Friends
B. Why People Like Having More Friends
C. More Friends Are Not Necessarily Better
D. People With More Friends Are More Popular
解析： 　標題歸納題。綜合全文可知，本文主要講述了一個奇
特的現象：人們更喜歡與朋友更少的人交朋友，另外，朋友太多
的人往往會在社交中表現得不那么令對方滿意。這些都說明朋友
并非越多越好。因此C項為文章最佳標題。
D
　　Have you ever wondered how many cigarettes you’re passively
smoking while walking through the streets of a polluted， smog-infused
（煙霧籠罩的） city？ No？ Well， a pair of digital developers just
invented an app that will definitely and accurately answer that question.
　　Shit，I Smoke！ was created by Brazilian-born designer Marcelo
Coelho and Paris-born app developer Amaury Martiny in just a week，
after they read a study that analysed air pollution and its equivalent （等
量） to cigarette smoking.The article，co-written by Richard Mueller，a
MacArthur fellow and physics professor at the University of California，
Berkeley，explains a mathematical model that compares smoking and
tobacco-related deaths to levels of PM2.5，a microscopic particle （微
粒） that is a dangerous，cancerous pollutant after burning.
　　The app shows that Parisians can effectively inhale （吸入） between
three and six cigarettes per day， while a person in Delhi could be smoking
up to 20 cigarettes — without even touching one — on a bad day.Other
cities have worrying numbers，too （6.5 cigarettes daily in Mexico
City）.
　　“I was surprised to see that Buenos Aires and Sao Paulo have the
best air quality in all Latin America，despite the fact that these are heavily
populated cities，” said Coelho， who’s originally from the latter，
Brazil’s largest city.
　　For both Coelho and Martiny， the app isn’t only a useful tool to
inform users about their city’s air quality； it also makes this information
more accessible and easier to understand.“These air-quality monitoring
stations are just numbers，numbers that are very specific to professionals
who work in environmental issues，” Martiny said.“So when you make
this conversion （轉換） to cigarettes， it makes it easier to understand
what people are dealing with and the consequences air quality has in the
daily lives.”
　　The developers’ plan now is to keep working on and enriching the
app’s features.This will most likely include monthly average cigarette
rates，and enabling users to get data from cities other than the one
they’re in.

空氣質量。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了一款應用程序，它能夠
將空氣污染程度轉換成等于吸了多少支煙，從而讓人們更容易了解
空氣質量。
32. What does the underlined part “that question” in Paragraph 1
mean？（　　）
A. How severely a city’s air is polluted.
B. How harmful it is to smoke in urban areas.
C. How many cigarettes one usually smokes daily.
D. How much harmful air you’re taking in in urban areas.
解析： 　詞義理解題。根據第一段內容可知，that question指代
上文的how many cigarettes ...smog-infused （煙霧籠罩的） city。
由此可知，that question 指的是在污染嚴重的城市里，你被動地吸
入了相當于多少支煙的有害氣體。
33. According to Shit，I Smoke！，which city has the worst air quality？
（　　）

　　Abraham Lincoln once said， “When I do good， I feel good；
when I do bad， I feel bad. And that’s my religion.” 36.（　　）
　　Helping and being kind not only contributes to the happiness of
others， it can also help us to feel happier ourselves！ Studies have shown
that when we do kind things， it can literally give our brain a boost，
activating its “reward centres” and that feels good. 37.（　　）
　　Giving and kindness also help us feel connected to others， which is
important for our wellbeing and contributes to building stronger
communities and a happier society for everyone.
　　38. （　　） From small acts like a friendly smile， a few kind
words， helping with bags， or offering up our seat， through to regular
volunteering — there are lots of different ways we can give or be kind. We
can of course donate money to good causes if we are able to and we can
give in lots of non-financial ways too， such as giving a moment of
attention， some of our time， knowledge， ideas， energy or support.
　　39. （　　） These include： experiencing more positive emotions
and satisfaction with life， increasing our sense of meaning， and
boosting our self-confidence. It can reduce stress and help us feel calmer
too. Some studies have found that people who volunteered regularly were
found to experience fewer symptoms of depression and anxiety.
　　Giving and being kind can help us feel more connected to others and
contribute to improving our relationships — and that’s good for
wellbeing all round！ Our acts of kindness might be for family， friends，
colleagues， or neighbours or even strangers. 40.（　　） It could be a
one-off spontaneous （自發的） gesture or something we do regularly.
There are always ways to be kind.
A. Every act of kindness counts.
B. Happier people tend to help others more.
C. It can take our minds off our own worries too.
D. They could be old or young， nearby or far away.
E. If you want to feel good， doing good is a great place to start.
F. We all can make a difference to something bigger， beyond ourselves.
G. Scientific studies show that helping others can contribute to our
happiness in different ways.

World Environment Day falls on 5 June every year， which is a time
for us to raise our awareness of protecting the environment and promoting
sustainability.
　　On World Environment Day last week， all the students took an
active part in building a greener Earth. Some students organised a clean-up
campaign in the park to remove litter and waste. Others participated in
tree-planting activities in the community. Still others tried to make better
use of used materials， who brought to school worn-out clothes， plastic
bottles， and turned them into dolls， handbags， tissue boxes and small
vases.
　　World Environment Day reminds us that each of us can make a
difference in protecting the environment and creating a more sustainable
future for our generations to come.
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。
When I was young， my mother was going to Florida to visit my
grandmother.I begged her to take me with her.“I’ll take you， but
remember，” my mother warned me，“Grandma is sick.” I had seen
plenty of sick people before， so I figured it wouldn’t be a big
deal.Besides， by the time we got to Florida， my grandma would
probably be okay.Then we would have fun just as we used to.I
remembered how excited I had felt the summer before when my grandma
carried me on her shoulders down the streets.
Grandma was a great storyteller and her stories made me feel special
whenever she told them.“Grandma， tell me a story，” I’d say， and
she would always begin the story， “Once upon a time there was a boy
named Billy ...” Every story started with a boy named after me.When I
arrived at her house， my first words were going to be，“Grandma， tell
me a story.”
When I got to Grandma’s house， she didn’t come out to meet
me.Even after I ran up the steps， she still didn’t come out to meet me.I
went into her bedroom.Instantly， I was seized by terror and disgust，
because what I saw in that room wasn’t my happy-go-lucky （樂天的）
grandmother.It was a crumpled body， thin and weak.
That night as I lay in bed， I heard my grandma moaning （呻吟） in
pain.It had the same effect on me as someone running fingernails across
the blackboard.It was so annoying that I just wanted to tell her to
stop.However， I didn’t and it continued all night.
A few weeks after we came home， my mother asked me whether it
was all right if Grandma came to live with us.I said yes， but in reality I
never wanted to see her again.Although my grandma lived with us for the
next few months， I never went into her room.She couldn’t get out of
bed.I didn’t have to see her.
注意：1.續寫詞數應為150左右；
2. 請按如下格式作答。
One day， my grandma called me as I walked by her room.I
didn’t want to go.

參考范文：
One day， my grandma called me as I walked by her room.I didn’t
want to go. But she called me several times， so I had to go in.The
moment I entered the room， I smelled a strong smell of medicine mixed
with other smells.My grandmother lay in bed， her cheekbones high， her
cheeks sunken， and her face and hands wrinkled.Seeing this， I
couldn’t help stopping my steps.
I was about to run out of the room and leave the scene behind forever
when she began to tell a story.I burst into tears when I heard “There was
a boy named Billy ...”.I went over and sat by the bed， holding my
grandmother’s hand and listening to her story.Although her voice was
weak， it was enough to remind me of those happy days in the past.I
smiled at my grandmother and listened to her quietly.
