　　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

　　A

　　For most city people, the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of the enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford trains, jets, and even bicycles. Dr. Christopher Wilk is a member of a small group of elevator experts who consider this a misunderstanding. Without the elevator, they point out, there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings, and city life as we know it would be impossible. In that sense, they argue, the elevator’s role in American history has been no less significant than that of cars. In fact, according to Wilk, the car and the elevator have been locked in a “secret war” for over a century, with cars making it possible for people to spread horizontally (水平地), and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering vertical (垂直的) columns.

　　If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators, it might be because riding in them tends to be such a brief, boring, and even awkward experience—one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothing in common, and an unpleasant awareness of the fact that we’re hanging from a cable in a long passage.

　　In a new book, Lifted, German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his attention to this experience, studying the origins of elevator and its relationship to humankind and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience. “After 150 years, we are still not used to it,” Bernard said. “We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure.” That mixture, according to Bernard, sets the elevator fide apart from just about every other situation we find ourselves in as we go about our lives.

　　Today, as the world’s urban population explodes, and cities become more crowded, taller, and more crowded, America’s total number of elevators—900,000 at last count, according to Elevator World magazine’s “2024 Vertical Transportation Industry”—are a force that’s becoming more important than ever. And for the people who really, really love them, it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.

　　What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

　　A. The general view of elevators.

　　B. The particular interests of experts.

　　C. The desire for a remarkable machine.

　　D. The enthusiasm for transport vehicles.

　　The author’s purpose in mentioning cars is ______.

　　A. to contrast their functions with elevators’

　　B. to emphasize the importance of elevators

　　C. to reveal their secret war against elevators

　　D. to explain people’s preference for elevators

　　According to Prof. Bernard, what has made the elevator ride different from other life experiences?

　　A. Vertical direction.

　　B. Lack of excitement.

　　C. Little physical space.

　　D. Uncomfortable conditions.

　　The author urges readers to consider ______.

　　A. the exact number of elevator lovers

　　B. the serious future situation of elevators

　　C. the role of elevators in city development

　　D. the relationship between cars and elevators

　　Larry was on another of his underwater expeditions(探險)but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.

　　Larry first began diving when he was his daughter’s age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive.

　　After the first expedition, Larry’s later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, his was limited

　　to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.

　　Larry’s first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands.There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them .Fortunaly for him,a man offered to take him around the different spots for free. Larry didn’t even know what the time was how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken.The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.

　　Larry looked at his daughter.She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age.He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition.Already,she looked like she was much braver than Larry had been then.This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.

　　In what way was this expedition different for Larry?

　　A.His daughter had grown up.

　　B.He had become a famous diver.

　　C.His father would dive with him.

　　D.His daughter would dive with him.

　　What can be inferred from Paragraph2?

　　A.Larry had some privileges.

　　B. Larry liked the rented diving suits.

　　C.Divers had to buy diving equipment.

　　D.Ten-year-old children were permitted to dive.

　　Why did Larry have to stay in a cage underwater sometimes?

　　A.To protect himself from danger.

　　B.To dive into the deep water.

　　C.To admire the underwater view.

　　D.To take photos more conveniently.

　　What can be learned from the underlined sentence?

　　A.Larry didn’t wear a watch.

　　B. Larry was not good at math.

　　C. Larry had a poor memory.

　　D. Larry enjoyed the adventure.

　　After signing an agreement to recognize India as a nuclear power on March 3, US President George W. Bush might be expecting a little Indian love.

　　The agreement marks a major breakthrough for New Delhi. It allows India to depend on American atomic technology and fuel to meet its increasing energy needs, if American government permits.

　　Yet many Indians have mixed feelings towards Bush and his country. According to an opinion poll(民意測驗)carried out last week by the Indian magazine Outlook, twothirds of the answers say that Bush is a “friend of India”. But 72 percent say that America is “a bully(欺凌弱小者)”, and 59 per cent say that India has “compromised on its foreign policy” to become closer to the US.

　　“It’s this unilateral(單邊的)thing that makes people upset; you want everything your way, and as long as the world toes your line, it’s fine,” says Anand Mahindra, owner of a computer company in New Delhi.

　　“But you are the ones who used nuclear bombs in Japan. You used chemical weapons in Vietnam. And you’re the ones driving all those gasguzzling(暴食的) cars. You have no moral(道德的) ground to stand on. Who are you to tell us what to do?”

　　Many factors tie America and India together—democratic(民主的) traditions, economic ties, military(軍事的) cooperation, and common views on the war on terrorism. But Bush and his counterpart(對方), Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, admitted that it may take time for the two partners to become close friends.

　　The key to deepening that relationship will be average Indians. Many of them love American culture, but that doesn’t mean they buy everything America has to sell.

　　“Indians have always felt close to America on a popular level, to American films, to clothes, to music”, says Dipankar Gupta, an Indian sociologist(社會學家).

　　“But at the same time, many Indians see America as too domineering(專橫的). It’s like a wife who wishes her husband... would give her more room to grow.”

　　India hopes to depend on the agreement for support.

　　Apolitical

　　Benergy

　　Cmilitary

　　Dfood

　　What does the underlined part “toes your line”(in Paragraph 4)mean?

　　Aallows you to exist

　　Bhelps you

　　Cobeys you

　　Dangers you

　　The writer refers to Japan and Vietnam to show America is.

　　Aunmoral

　　Bconsiderate

　　Cpowerless

　　Dfriendly

　　Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?

　　AAn agreement benefits India

　　BRelationship between US and India

　　CDifferent opinions on AmericanIndian relationship

　　DFriend or bully?
