　　With one hour to go， Schergen piles the chairs and sweeps the floor.He cleans out the sink for the last time.Fifth-grader Deontae Barnes， one of his best helpers， has watched him say goodbye all day.He wanders in the doorway.“Ah， come here， son，” Schergen says， signaling him over.He bends down for a hug.“Thank you for making these last days special and being a help to me.”
　　When Deontae leaves， a reporter asks Schergen，“When your kids ask why you’re retiring， what do you tell them？” “I just tell them that grown people have dreams too，” he says.“I have other things in my life I have to do.It’s time.It’s just time.”

　　If asked to guess what under-25-year-olds are listening to， it’s unlikely that many of us would suggest orchestral music.And yet a recent survey found that 74％ of UK residents aged under 25 were likely to be tuning in to just that at holiday time， compared with a mere 46％ of people aged 55 or more.This reflects the widespread increase in the popularity of classical music in general， particularly among younger generations.There are plenty of reasons for this， but perhaps high on the list is the global wave of young classical artists who are finding new ways to be seen and heard.Unsurprisingly， social media has played a huge part in this.
　　For French violinist Esther Abrami， the journey to social media arose from a desire to share her passion for music more widely.“I was studying at a top institution and most of the time I was practising for exams， so the whole joy of sharing was taken away.Then， at the very few concerts I did play， there was a very specific type of audience that wasn’t very diverse，” Abrami says.“I was amazed by the reaction I got.It opened this door to a completely new world.”
　　Nigerian-US baritone （男中音） and lifelong hip-hop （嘻哈文化） fan Babatunde Akinboboye enjoyed a similarly rapid and surprising rise to social media fame when he posted a video of himself singing Rossini’s famous aria （詠嘆調） “Largo al factotum” over the top of Kendrick Lamar’s song “Humble”.“I was in my car and I realised that the two pieces worked together musically， so I started singing on top of the beat，” he says.Soon after he posted the video， his brand of “hip-hopera” caught the attention of top American shows and Time magazine.
　　Classical music has a long way to go to grow as much as other genres （種類） of music， but it’s moving forward.As Akinboboye mentions，“Opera is definitely becoming a lot more daring， and I hope this continues because I think we can catch up.Classical music needs to be brave， to do the scary thing.And it’ll work out because audiences are ready.”
28.What does Paragraph 1 tell us about most young people in the UK？（　　）
A.They like holiday-themed music. B.They tend to enjoy orchestral music.
C.They think highly of classical artists. D.They listen to music on social media.
29.Why did Esther Abrami start posting videos on social media？（　　）
A.To advertise her concerts.
B.To reach a wider audience.
C.To relieve her academic pressure.
D.To satisfy her curiosity about social media.
30.What made Babatunde Akinboboye’s video famous？（　　）
A.His beautiful singing voice. B.His artistic skill in editing videos.
C.His playful mix of hip-hop and opera. D.His well-designed music performance.
31.What is Babatunde Akinboboye’s attitude to classical music’s future？（　　）
A.Worried. B.Curious.
C.Uncaring. D.Positive.
D
　　The Namib Desert， on the Atlantic coast of southwest Africa， is one of the driest places in the world.It is also one of the world’s oldest deserts， having been arid for an estimated 55－80 million years.At first glance， much of the Namib environment appears to consist of a barren moonscape of nothing but sand and rock， but it is home to unique life forms that have adapted to life with little water in fascinating ways.
　　One example is Onymacris unguicularis， commonly known as the fog-basking beetle （霧姥甲蟲）.This beetle obtains water from the frequent morning fogs that occur in the region.During a fog， the beetle climbs to the top of a dune， and positions itself facing the wind with its head down and back legs up， as if it is standing on its head.When the fog hits its body， it turns into tiny drops of water which gather and then run down its back to its mouthparts.In this way， the beetle is able to survive in the severe conditions.
　　This isn’t simply of interest to entomologists， however， but also to designers， engineers， and chemists.One group of researchers was inspired to examine the surface of the fog-basking beetle’s rough， dark-coloured back more closely.What they found was a pattern of peaks and troughs （溝槽）， so droplets were caught and built up on the peaks until their weight caused them to fall into the smooth troughs and be channeled quickly down towards the beetle’s mouth.The research group is now working to recreate the effect， which they think will have numerous applications， not only for efficiently extracting water from fog but also in manufacturing.
　　This is only one example of biomimicry — where humans look to nature for a rich source of ideas for technological innovations with the aim of solving complex problems.An early example includes Leonardo da Vinci’s flying machines which were based on careful observations of birds in flight.Today biomimicry is informing design in areas ranging from looking at the feet of frogs to study adhesion （黏著力）， to the structure of butterfly wings is order to develop new pigments （顏料）.
32.What does the underlined word “arid” in Paragraph 1 mean？（　　）
A.Quite empty. B.Very flat.
C.Quite amazing. D.Very dry.
33.What does Paragraph 2 mainly say about the fog-basking beetle？（　　）
A.How it absorbs nutrients from sand. B.How it stands out in the desert.
C.How it gets water in the desert. D.How it deals with a foggy day.
34.Why did the researchers study the fog-basking beetle？（　　）
A.To improve its habitat. B.To expand research field.
C.To find inspiration for something useful. D.To reduce its influence on other species.
35.What does the author want to convey by mentioning different animals in the last paragraph？（　　）
A.Humans can learn from the natural world.
B.The Namib Desert needs urgent protection.
C.Technological innovation needs sharp observation.
D.There’s a link between biodiversity and advanced technology.
第二節（共5小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分）
　　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。
　　Every plant has a place in the ecosystem.Rare plants support insects that need them to survive.They contribute to global biodiversity that is the cornerstone of resilience （恢復力）.
　　If you care about rare plants， you should first learn about the rare plants that may be found on your property.36.（　　） Both Pennsylvania and Delaware have excellent online resources about rare plants.The Pennsylvania Natural Heritage Program （PNHP） has a database that lists rare plants by county.The University of Delaware Water Resources Center has a database of all plants.Both resources provide factsheets with images and habitat descriptions.
　　37.（　　） PNHP has an interactive map showing Natural Heritage Areas in every county， some of which are open to the public.Delaware’s vegetation maps of plant communities in state parks list rare plants.
　　If you find a rare plant on your property， you may report its location to the state natural heritage program.Sharing this information enables conservationists to track the health and number of rare species.Reporting a rare plant does not put any extra responsibility on you.38.（　　）
　　The best thing to do for your rare plant is to protect it， based on the conservation concerns your plant faces in its habitat.39.（　　） Remove harmful plants that could threaten the population or change the habitat.If your plant depends on habitat such as woods or wetlands， protecting it means protecting the habitat from being changed.
　　40.（　　） These activities are not only entertaining but also helpful in preserving something precious.
A.A plant is a gift of nature.
B.Fence it to protect it from plant-eating animals.
C.Often， rare plants are restricted to special soil types.
D.However， it may affect permit conditions for changes in the habitat.
E.You don’t have to be a trained botanist to recognize many rare species.
F.And take photos， make paintings， write poems ...to celebrate your plant.
G.Another way to learn about rare plants is to visit a public site with rare plants.

　　If you were to ask me about my relationship with my dad， I would roll my eyes （翻白眼） and brush it off.I would avoid the topic altogether because it hurt to answer we didn’t get along.I saw everything as his fault.I disliked him more than anyone else.It made me angry because I never saw him dancing with me or never saw us even being able to eat a meal together.I was ready to leave for college just to get some space.
　　One of the biggest issues we had was surrounding my mental health.I was his baby doll when I was little but all that changed when I started having severe panic attacks （恐慌癥）.I had struggled with anxiety since primary school.It hurt every time he destroyed my mental state and turned his back on the problems going on in my head.Things out of my control would start happening and he didn’t understand.I didn’t think he tried to， either.College was no better.If anything， it got worse.I didn’t want to keep the cycle going with him， so I never talked to him.I can remember only calling him a handful of times in my first three semesters away， a lot of which ended in arguments.
　　When his best friend got sick， a lot changed for us.This friend was leaving behind a family， and I pictured myself in a situation like that.It broke my heart that my dad and I had been so distant for so long and all I wanted to do was fly home and be in his company.This scared us both because we needed to change our relationship right then and there.
　　Then our phone calls became more regular.We talked and decided to call each other at least once a week， even if it was just for a few minutes.I looked forward to our little chats.I started to talk to my dad about anything and everything and he was able to bring me back to reality regularly.
　　I was always so angry with him for not understanding me， but then again， I never took the time to explain myself and he never got the opportunity to listen.We got so far apart from each other that it became normal.But we were both to blame.

（Text 2）
M：Susan， I have heard you’re going to Chicago the day after tomorrow. Will you go there by plane？

（Text 3）
M：May I take your order now， madam？

M：OK.
（Text 4）
W：Kate’s birthday is coming. How about buying her a CD or a concert ticket？

（Text 5）
M：Excuse me， could you please tell me where I can post the package？
W：Yes， go past the shopping mall and turn right at the first cross， and you will find the place next to a bank.
（Text 6）

W：There are many things we can do， like using reusable products and taking public transportation. I usually keep plastic bottles， food cans and so on for future use.

W：I didn’t learn English well at school. So after I started working， I went to take an English course in a language learning center. There were fifteen members like me in my class and we had an English lesson from 7：00 p.m. to 9：00 p.m. every Tuesday and Friday. When the teacher entered the classroom， the lesson began. We usually started it by pronouncing different words. Then we were usually invited to the blackboard by the teacher to write down some words. After that we usually talked with each other in English in groups. During the lesson we spoke mostly English， but sometimes when the students didn’t understand the teacher or the task in the textbook， we spoke Chinese， our mother tongue. What I liked best of the English lessons was the happy and friendly environment of the class. The funny jokes were always welcomed. Thanks to my one-year-long study there， I made much progress in English. Now I can speak English well with those I work with.
第二部分
21.D　22.A　23.B　
語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了一位令人尊敬的小學藝術老師在退休前最后一天仍然盡職盡責的故事。
24.A　細節理解題。根據第一段倒數第二、三句可知，對Schergen來說這個周五是特別的，因為那天他就要退休了。
25.B　詞義猜測題。根據下文Schergen為學校所作出的貢獻、給學校帶來的榮譽可知，畫線詞意為“巨大的成就”。
26.A　推理判斷題。根據第二段中的“When I first got my room，I noticed there were bullet holes in the window.That made me nervous，” he says.可知，有彈孔的窗戶說明學校存在安全問題，因此Schergen第一天到學校時，學校的安全問題讓他很緊張。
27.C　標題歸納題。根據第一段最后兩句以及下文對Schergen職業生涯的回顧以及離開學校前的舉動的描述可知，本文主要講述了一位小學藝術老師退休前最后一天上班的情景。因此C項為本文最佳標題。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了當下英國年輕人對古典音樂的喜愛。
28.B　細節理解題。根據第一段第二句可知，一項最新調查表明，74％的25歲以下英國居民會在假期收聽管弦樂，而55歲及以上的居民中，這一比例僅為46％。由此可知，多數的英國年輕人喜歡管弦樂。
29.B　細節理解題。根據第二段內容可知，Esther Abrami之所以開啟了社交媒體之旅，是因為她想更廣泛地分享她對音樂的熱愛。在之前參加的幾場演奏會上，她只能接觸到特定類型的觀眾，并不多樣化。由此可知，她想接觸到更廣大的觀眾。
30.C　推理判斷題。根據第三段內容可知，在Babatunde Akinboboye 上傳的視頻中，他踩著嘻哈歌手Kendrick Lamar 歌曲的節拍，唱起了著名的歌劇Largo al factotum。這個視頻讓他的“嘻哈歌劇”在社交媒體上迅速躥紅，引起了美國頂級節目和《時代》雜志的關注。由此可知，Babatunde Akinboboye 之所以出名，是因為他將嘻哈和歌劇巧妙地結合在一起。

A Lesson of Responsibility
　　Responsibility is one of the most important virtues a person is supposed to have.
　　Once， my deskmate fell ill.He was afraid of falling behind others.Thinking of giving him a hand as my responsibility，I helped him with his lessons after class.With my help， he eventually caught up with us.Both of us felt so delighted.It was my responsibility to help others and his hard work also helped him out.
　　This experience always gives me an important lesson in life：we should be responsible for what we do.Responsibility makes a full man.
第二節
　　College was the best thing that could have happened to our relationship.We both got the time we needed to be ourselves， so we could both grow as people and come to terms with each other.All of our interactions， phone calls， and visits are much more positive.I didn’t take time to appreciate the work he put on for the family and the effort he really tried to put in for me.We understand each other so much better now， can communicate better now， and get along better now.
　　Now， I can picture family holidays where I don’t end up crying in my room.I can picture the father-daughter dance at my wedding.I can picture us being able to go on lunch dates and games， and drives down the road ending with both of us being happy.The exciting part is that I no longer have to picture many of these things； we get to do them now.Dad， I appreciate the effort you continuously put in.I admire everything you have done to change and thank you for being my biggest supporter.

（Text 1）
M：Hey， Mary， what about going to a concert tonight？
W：Sorry， John， I’m afraid I can’t. My professor asked me to
finish reading the book tonight.
（Text 2）
M：Susan， I have heard you’re going to Chicago the day after
tomorrow. Will you go there by plane？
W：No， I think it is too expensive. So I’ll take a train instead of taking
a flight.
M：That would be a very long trip.
（Text 3）
M：May I take your order now， madam？
W：No. I’m still waiting for a friend. So I’ll just keep reading the
menu. I’ll let you know when we’re ready to order.
M：OK.
（Text 4）
W：Kate’s birthday is coming. How about buying her a CD or a concert
ticket？
M：I don’t think she will like that. A book may be a nice gift， because
she loves reading.
（Text 5）
M：Excuse me， could you please tell me where I can post the package？
W：Yes， go past the shopping mall and turn right at the first cross， and
you will find the place next to a bank.
（Text 6）
M：Hey， Linda， are you free after work？
W：No. I will have a yoga class from 7：30 p.m. to 9：00 p.m.
M：Oh. When did you start learning yoga？
W：Last month. You know， I am a little fat and doing yoga can keep me
in shape. I take classes on every Wednesday and Friday evening and
Saturday morning at the fitness centre.
M：That sounds good. So what about going to the cinema this Sunday
afternoon？ It is said that the latest film is pretty wonderful.
W：That’s great！

W：Not yet. I spent the whole morning doing math homework. It was

history homework. What about you？
M：I’ve only finished the history homework. So will you do your
homework this afternoon？
W：Of course. It’s Monday tomorrow. We should hand in all the
homework.
M：How about doing the rest of the homework together at your home？
W：Good idea.
（Text 8）
W：Don’t throw the plastic water bottle on the ground， Jack. Put it in
the rubbish bin.
M：OK. I know.
W：The plastic will pollute the Earth. My teacher said that it’s
everyone’s duty to protect the environment.
M：That’s true. But what can we do？
W：There are many things we can do， like using reusable products and
taking public transportation. I usually keep plastic bottles， food cans and
so on for future use.
M：I see， you really do a good job.
W：But that is not enough. We should call on more people to join us.
M：Yes. I will tell this to my classmates and other friends.
W：Great. If everyone takes action， our earth will be more and more
beautiful.
M：I totally agree.
（Text 9）
W：Hi， Henry. This is Jennifer calling.
M：Hi， Jennifer. How is everything going？

M：Of course I’ll come. But what time？
W：It’s 7：30 p.m. Is that OK？
M：I’m afraid I cannot make it on time. My workplace is a bit far from
your home. But I’m sure I can get there 30 minutes later.
W：That’s fine.
M：Good. Do you want me to bring something， like a cake or some
drinks？
W：No， you don’t have to. But I do want you to play the piano for a
while at the party.
M：That’s OK. Oh， I must hang up now. I should get back to work. I
have to finish a report today.
W：OK. See you this Friday.
M：See you then.
（Text 10）
W：I didn’t learn English well at school. So after I started working， I
went to take an English course in a language learning center. There were
fifteen members like me in my class and we had an English lesson from
7：00 p.m. to 9：00 p.m. every Tuesday and Friday. When the teacher
entered the classroom， the lesson began. We usually started it by
pronouncing different words. Then we were usually invited to the
blackboard by the teacher to write down some words. After that we usually
talked with each other in English in groups.
During the lesson we spoke mostly English， but sometimes when the
students didn’t understand the teacher or the task in the textbook， we
spoke Chinese， our mother tongue. What I liked best of the English
lessons was the happy and friendly environment of the class. The funny
jokes were always welcomed. Thanks to my one-year-long study there， I
made much progress in English. Now I can speak English well with those
I work with.

　　It’s a little before 8 am when Mathias Schergen pushes open the side
door at Chicago’s Jenner Elementary Academy for the Arts.He walks
down the hall towards the office to sign in.It’s the same routine he’s
had as Jenner’s art teacher for nearly a quarter century.“It’s going to
be a good day，” a colleague calls out.“It’s a good day.” They
hug.It seems like a typical Friday — except that it’s not.After 23 years
at Jenner Elementary，Schergen is retiring.Even on his last day， there
are still art projects to finish.
　　Schergen leaves behind a rich legacy at this school.He’s won grants
（撥款） for art projects.He turned an empty classroom into a
museum.He’s pushed his students to make art about their lives.And he
was awarded a Golden Apple — the most honorable teaching award in
Chicago.But it wasn’t always easy.For years， Schergen taught in one
of the city’s toughest neighbourhoods.“When I first got my room，I
noticed there were bullet holes in the window.That made me nervous，”
he says.So he stuffed Beanie Babies in the holes to make it “look kind of
funny”.“I didn’t even tell my wife for a whole year，” he says.“I
didn’t want her to know.”
　　With one hour to go， Schergen piles the chairs and sweeps the
floor.He cleans out the sink for the last time.Fifth-grader Deontae
Barnes， one of his best helpers， has watched him say goodbye all
day.He wanders in the doorway.“Ah， come here， son，” Schergen
says， signaling him over.He bends down for a hug.“Thank you for
making these last days special and being a help to me.”
　　When Deontae leaves， a reporter asks Schergen，“When your kids
ask why you’re retiring， what do you tell them？” “I just tell them
that grown people have dreams too，” he says.“I have other things in
my life I have to do.It’s time.It’s just time.”

　　If asked to guess what under-25-year-olds are listening to， it’s
unlikely that many of us would suggest orchestral music.And yet a recent
survey found that 74％ of UK residents aged under 25 were likely to be
tuning in to just that at holiday time， compared with a mere 46％ of
people aged 55 or more.This reflects the widespread increase in the
popularity of classical music in general， particularly among younger
generations.There are plenty of reasons for this， but perhaps high on the
list is the global wave of young classical artists who are finding new ways
to be seen and heard.Unsurprisingly， social media has played a huge part
in this.
　　For French violinist Esther Abrami， the journey to social media
arose from a desire to share her passion for music more widely.“I was
studying at a top institution and most of the time I was practising for
exams， so the whole joy of sharing was taken away.Then， at the very
few concerts I did play， there was a very specific type of audience that
wasn’t very diverse，” Abrami says.“I was amazed by the reaction I
got.It opened this door to a completely new world.”
　　Nigerian-US baritone （男中音） and lifelong hip-hop （嘻哈文
化） fan Babatunde Akinboboye enjoyed a similarly rapid and surprising
rise to social media fame when he posted a video of himself singing
Rossini’s famous aria （詠嘆調） “Largo al factotum” over the top of
Kendrick Lamar’s song “Humble”.“I was in my car and I realised
that the two pieces worked together musically， so I started singing on top
of the beat，” he says.Soon after he posted the video， his brand of
“hip-hopera” caught the attention of top American shows and Time
magazine.
　　Classical music has a long way to go to grow as much as other genres
（種類） of music， but it’s moving forward.As Akinboboye
mentions，“Opera is definitely becoming a lot more daring， and I hope
this continues because I think we can catch up.Classical music needs to be
brave， to do the scary thing.And it’ll work out because audiences are
ready.”

音樂的喜愛。
28. What does Paragraph 1 tell us about most young people in the UK？
（　　）
A. They like holiday-themed music.
B. They tend to enjoy orchestral music.
C. They think highly of classical artists.
D. They listen to music on social media.
解析：　細節理解題。根據第一段第二句可知，一項最新調查
表明，74％的25歲以下英國居民會在假期收聽管弦樂，而55歲及
以上的居民中，這一比例僅為46％。由此可知，多數的英國年輕
人喜歡管弦樂。
29. Why did Esther Abrami start posting videos on social media？（　　）
A. To advertise her concerts.
B. To reach a wider audience.
C. To relieve her academic pressure.
D. To satisfy her curiosity about social media.
解析：　細節理解題。根據第二段內容可知，Esther Abrami之所
以開啟了社交媒體之旅，是因為她想更廣泛地分享她對音樂的熱
愛。在之前參加的幾場演奏會上，她只能接觸到特定類型的觀
眾，并不多樣化。由此可知，她想接觸到更廣大的觀眾。
30. What made Babatunde Akinboboye’s video famous？（　　）
A. His beautiful singing voice.
B. His artistic skill in editing videos.
C. His playful mix of hip-hop and opera.
D. His well-designed music performance.
解析：　推理判斷題。根據第三段內容可知，在Babatunde
Akinboboye 上傳的視頻中，他踩著嘻哈歌手Kendrick Lamar 歌曲
的節拍，唱起了著名的歌劇Largo al factotum。這個視頻讓他的
“嘻哈歌劇”在社交媒體上迅速躥紅，引起了美國頂級節目和
《時代》雜志的關注。由此可知，Babatunde Akinboboye 之所以
出名，是因為他將嘻哈和歌劇巧妙地結合在一起。
31. What is Babatunde Akinboboye’s attitude to classical music’s
future？（　　）
A. Worried. B. Curious.
C. Uncaring. D. Positive.
解析：　觀點態度題。根據最后一段中的As Akinboboye
mentions ...audiences are ready.可知，Babatunde Akinboboye對古
典音樂的未來持有積極的態度。
D
　　The Namib Desert， on the Atlantic coast of southwest Africa， is
one of the driest places in the world.It is also one of the world’s oldest
deserts， having been arid for an estimated 55－80 million years.At first
glance， much of the Namib environment appears to consist of a barren
moonscape of nothing but sand and rock， but it is home to unique life
forms that have adapted to life with little water in fascinating ways.
　　One example is Onymacris unguicularis， commonly known as the
fog-basking beetle （霧姥甲蟲）.This beetle obtains water from the
frequent morning fogs that occur in the region.During a fog， the beetle
climbs to the top of a dune， and positions itself facing the wind with its
head down and back legs up， as if it is standing on its head.When the fog
hits its body， it turns into tiny drops of water which gather and then run
down its back to its mouthparts.In this way， the beetle is able to survive
in the severe conditions.
　　This isn’t simply of interest to entomologists， however， but also
to designers， engineers， and chemists.One group of researchers was
inspired to examine the surface of the fog-basking beetle’s rough， dark-
coloured back more closely.What they found was a pattern of peaks and
troughs （溝槽）， so droplets were caught and built up on the peaks
until their weight caused them to fall into the smooth troughs and be
channeled quickly down towards the beetle’s mouth.The research group
is now working to recreate the effect， which they think will have
numerous applications， not only for efficiently extracting water from fog
but also in manufacturing.
　　This is only one example of biomimicry — where humans look to
nature for a rich source of ideas for technological innovations with the aim
of solving complex problems.An early example includes Leonardo da
Vinci’s flying machines which were based on careful observations of
birds in flight.Today biomimicry is informing design in areas ranging from
looking at the feet of frogs to study adhesion （黏著力）， to the
structure of butterfly wings is order to develop new pigments （顏料）.

新帶來靈感。
32. What does the underlined word “arid” in Paragraph 1 mean？
（　　）
A. Quite empty. B. Very flat.
C. Quite amazing. D. Very dry.
解析：　詞義猜測題。根據畫線詞前的It is also one of the
world’s oldest deserts可知，畫線詞的意思是“非常干的”。
33. What does Paragraph 2 mainly say about the fog-basking beetle？
（　　）
A. How it absorbs nutrients from sand.
B. How it stands out in the desert.
C. How it gets water in the desert.
D. How it deals with a foggy day.
解析：　段落大意題。根據第二段內容可知，第二段主要介紹
了霧姥甲蟲是如何在沙漠中獲取水分，從而得以存活的。
34. Why did the researchers study the fog-basking beetle？（　　）
A. To improve its habitat.
B. To expand research field.
C. To find inspiration for something useful.
D. To reduce its influence on other species.
解析：　細節理解題。根據第三段最后一句可知，研究者們為
了尋找靈感，所以研究霧姥甲蟲。
35. What does the author want to convey by mentioning different animals
in the last paragraph？（　　）
A. Humans can learn from the natural world.
B. The Namib Desert needs urgent protection.
C. Technological innovation needs sharp observation.
D. There’s a link between biodiversity and advanced technology.
解析：　推理判斷題。最后一段首句起承上啟下的作用，是對
后面內容的總述。因此，作者提到多種動物是為了說明人類可以
向自然界學習。
第二節（共5小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分）
　　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。
　　Every plant has a place in the ecosystem.Rare plants support insects
that need them to survive.They contribute to global biodiversity that is the
cornerstone of resilience （恢復力）.
　　If you care about rare plants， you should first learn about the rare
plants that may be found on your property.36.（　　） Both
Pennsylvania and Delaware have excellent online resources about rare
plants.The Pennsylvania Natural Heritage Program （PNHP） has a
database that lists rare plants by county.The University of Delaware Water
Resources Center has a database of all plants.Both resources provide
factsheets with images and habitat descriptions.
　　37. （　　） PNHP has an interactive map showing Natural
Heritage Areas in every county， some of which are open to the
public.Delaware’s vegetation maps of plant communities in state parks
list rare plants.
　　If you find a rare plant on your property， you may report its location
to the state natural heritage program.Sharing this information enables

語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了保護稀有植物的方法。
36. E　上文提到你應該先了解稀有植物，下文介紹了兩個提供稀有
植物知識的平臺，故E項（你不必是一個訓練有素的植物學家也能識
別許多稀有物種）承上啟下，符合語境。
37. G　下文介紹了可以使用的兩種地圖，G項（了解稀有植物的另一
種方式是去參觀種有稀有植物的公共場所）符合語境。G項中的
Another與上一段中的first構成順承關系。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了保護稀有植物的方法。
38. D　上文提到發現稀有植物后可以上報給相關部門，這不會產生
任何附帶的責任。D項（但是，這可能會影響與棲息地改變相關的許
可條款）與上句構成轉折關系，其中的it指代上句中的Reporting a rare
plant。
39. B　上文提到應該針對某種稀有植物面臨的問題來采取保護措
施。下文具體列舉了保護稀有植物的方法，故B項（把它圍起來，保
護它不受食草動物的傷害）符合語境，其中的it指代上句中的your rare
plant。
40. F　根據下句中的These activities可知，設空處應該提到一些活
動，故F項（拍照、作畫、寫詩等來贊美你的植物）符合語境。

A Lesson of Responsibility
　　Responsibility is one of the most important virtues a person is
supposed to have.
　　Once， my deskmate fell ill.He was afraid of falling behind
others.Thinking of giving him a hand as my responsibility，I helped him
with his lessons after class.With my help， he eventually caught up with
us.Both of us felt so delighted.It was my responsibility to help others and
his hard work also helped him out.
　　This experience always gives me an important lesson in life：we
should be responsible for what we do.Responsibility makes a full man.
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。
　　If you were to ask me about my relationship with my dad， I would
roll my eyes （翻白眼） and brush it off.I would avoid the topic
altogether because it hurt to answer we didn’t get along.I saw everything
as his fault.I disliked him more than anyone else.It made me angry
because I never saw him dancing with me or never saw us even being able
to eat a meal together.I was ready to leave for college just to get some
space.
　　One of the biggest issues we had was surrounding my mental health.I
was his baby doll when I was little but all that changed when I started
having severe panic attacks （恐慌癥）.I had struggled with anxiety since
primary school.It hurt every time he destroyed my mental state and turned
his back on the problems going on in my head.Things out of my control
would start happening and he didn’t understand.I didn’t think he tried
to， either.College was no better.If anything， it got worse.I didn’t
want to keep the cycle going with him， so I never talked to him.I can
remember only calling him a handful of times in my first three semesters
away， a lot of which ended in arguments.
　　When his best friend got sick， a lot changed for us.This friend was
leaving behind a family， and I pictured myself in a situation like that.It
broke my heart that my dad and I had been so distant for so long and all I
wanted to do was fly home and be in his company.This scared us both
because we needed to change our relationship right then and there.
　　Then our phone calls became more regular.We talked and decided to
call each other at least once a week， even if it was just for a few
minutes.I looked forward to our little chats.I started to talk to my dad
about anything and everything and he was able to bring me back to reality
regularly.
　　I was always so angry with him for not understanding me， but then
again， I never took the time to explain myself and he never got the
opportunity to listen.We got so far apart from each other that it became
normal.But we were both to blame.
注意：1.續寫詞數應為150左右；
2. 請按如下格式作答。
　　College was the best thing that could have happened to our
relationship. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　Now， I can picture family holidays where I don’t end up crying
in my room. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
參考范文：
　　College was the best thing that could have happened to our
relationship.We both got the time we needed to be ourselves， so we
could both grow as people and come to terms with each other.All of our
interactions， phone calls， and visits are much more positive.I didn’t
take time to appreciate the work he put on for the family and the effort he
really tried to put in for me.We understand each other so much better
now， can communicate better now， and get along better now.
　　Now， I can picture family holidays where I don’t end up crying in
my room.I can picture the father-daughter dance at my wedding.I can
picture us being able to go on lunch dates and games， and drives down
the road ending with both of us being happy.The exciting part is that I no
longer have to picture many of these things； we get to do them
now.Dad， I appreciate the effort you continuously put in.I admire
everything you have done to change and thank you for being my biggest
supporter.
謝謝觀看！
