　　She wants to teach dance and gymnastics.

　　M: That's wonderful.

　　Text 10

　　W: Mark, would you like to tell me what you did in the last four years and why you changed your major?

　　M: Well, I'd like to. I wasn't too fond of the lecture courses of my last major. There were one hundred students in my general courses. After the second term, when I was considering whether or not to come back in the fall, I spent a lot of time on the Internet, and came across an American. Then I joined his team. And that's what I've been doing for the last four years. I worked on making roads, building houses, serving as a teacher assistant, and I worked as a camp officer in several projects in South Carolina and in Florida. It has been a great experience for me. And I almost learned more than what I could have in college. I didn't want to finish school, but I wasn't interested in my major anyway.

　　I think this was better for me. After 1700 hours of service, I received 4750 dollars. I used that to pay the money that I borrowed from the bank and for what I need. Now when I come back to school this fall, I'll major in German education. After working with the kids, now I know I want to be a teacher later in my life.

　　第二部分　閱讀理解(共兩節，滿分40分)

　　第一節(共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分)

　　閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

　　A

　　What if we could replace oil with a fuel which produced no pollution and which everybody had equal access to？The good news is that we can, in fact, we are swimming in it—literally.

　　Hydrogen is one of the building blocks of the universe. Our own sun is basically, a big, dense cloud of the stuff. And hydrogen can be used to create electricity for power, heat and light.

　　The problem is that hydrogen is everywhere and nowhere at the same time.

　　It does not exist as a material on its own, but is always part of something else. So it has to be separated before it can be used.

　　Most commercial hydrogen in use now is created from natural gas,

　　As oil will start to run out in around the year 2030, it makes sense to produce as much hydrogen as possible as soon as we can. But natural gas supplies will also begin to run out soon after. Another source is needed.

　　Researchers are now using electricity to make water into hydrogen. Companies are working on the problem in their own areas. The first commercial hydrogen, “fuel cells”for computers and mobile phones have already come on to the market. Auto companies have also invested over US $2billion in the production of hydrogen fuelled cars.

　　The nations of a hydrogen fuelled planet would not fight over energy recourses. There would be a great reduction in pollution. The only by-product of creating hydrogen is pure drinking water—something that is very scarce in many parts of the world. But that is not where the good news ends. Once the costs of producing hydrogen have been brought down, it will possibly provide power for a third of the Earth 's population that has no electricity.

　　And electricity creates wealth. In South Africa over the last decade there has been a large programme of electrification. Thanks to the programme, people do not have to spend their days looking firewood to burn for heat. And with electric light,

　　they can work long into the night.

　　Some scientists see radical changes in the way the human race co-operates. Hydrogen creates clectricity, and is also created by it. With dual use fuel cells, everyone who consumes energy could also produce it. Late at night, a man drives home in London and connects his car into the “world-wide hydrogen web”， which it supplies with electricity. A few hours later, a man in Beijing uses that electricity to power the hydrogen cell in his car. Hydrogen could be the first democratic energy source.

　　Like all dreams of the future, it seems very far away. But the threat of war and terrorism in the Middle East has made governments and businesses more aware of the need to end oil dependency and spend more time and money on hydrogen resource. So maybe the threat of war is not a completely bad thing for the future of the human race.

　　文章大意：本文主要講述的是為了我們的資源可能會枯竭，但是我們可以使用新型的hydrogen能源作為我們的主要資源。文章具體描述了分類hydrongen的困難等。

　　21．What does the underlined word “it”in the last but one paragraph refer to?

　　A．wealth B．hydrogen

　　C．electricity

　　D．fuel

　　答案：C　推理題。根據本句Some scientists see radical changes in the way the human race co-operates, Hydrogen creates electricity, and is also created by it.可知這里的it就是指前一句里的electricity指這兩種物質Hydrogen和electricity是相互依存的。故C正確。

　　22．What is the problem with using hydrogen as energy?

　　A．It has by-products

　　B．It has to be separated from other materials

　　C．It will make energy too cheap

　　D．It is too far away from us

　　答案：B　推理題。根據文章第三段The problem is that hydrogen is everywhere and nowhere at the same time. It does not exist as a material on its own ，but is always part of something else, So it has to be separated before it can be used.可知最大的問題是hydrogen并不是單獨存在的，而是和其他的物質在一起的。所以要使用hydrogen，首先就是要把hydrogen分離出來。故B正確。

　　23．Why does the author give the example in the last but one paragraph?

　　A．To tell us that we produce energy while using hydrogen power

　　B．To tell us that hydrogen power does not produce pollution

　　C．To show hydrogen power can stop war

　　D．To show hydrogen power is cheap

　　答案：A　推理題。根據文章倒數第二段1,2行Some scientists see radical changes in the way the human race co-operates, Hydrogen creates electricity, and is also created by it. With dual use fuel cells, everyone who consumes energy could also produce it. 可知舉這個例子就是為了告訴我們在分離出hydrogen的時候，我們也需要消耗電能等其他能源。故A正確。

　　24．What is the passage mainly about?

　　A．war and energy

　　B．the future of hydrogen as an energy resource

　　C．the disadvantages of oil

　　D．How to end war

　　答案：B　主旨大意題。本文主要講述的是為了我們的資源可能會枯竭，但是我們可以使用新型的hydrogen能源作為我們的主要資源。文章具體描述了分類hydrogen的困難等。故B正確。

　　B

　　Simply saying “thank you” may benefit both the person who is thanked and the person who expresses gratitude(感激)，according to the results of studies conducted by researchers at Florida State University in Tallahassee.
