It cant breathe(呼吸) in the water. It swims in the water. But it comes up for air.The blue whale is the worlds biggest animal. There are other sea animals, too. One is called the dolphin. Dolphins need air to live. They breathe air, as whales do. Dolphins are very clever. They sometimes seem to speak to each other.Many other animals live near the sea.

He was short and thin. He walked up to the teacher and told her, very seriously（緊張）, that he was new. His name was Christian. He sat down, took a look at me, and then looked away. I didnt think he was very nice and I was sure he wasnt the type I would like to become friends with.During that year, I didnt talk to him much, but he smiled at me when our eyes met, always shyly. He never ate lunch with anybody, and he never talked to anybody but me.But one day I joined those unkind kids making fun of him. We made fun of him though（雖然）I thought it was wrong.“Dont you have any friends？” a kid asked Christian, who walked past us alone, head down.“No, he doesnt have any friends. Hes too stupid and shy，”I said. Then Christian looked up at me with the saddest dog eyes . I felt very sorry at that moment.That night, I couldnt sleep because I couldnt get Christians face out of my mind. In the following weeks , he never met my eyes in class and never smiled at me. It was really hard for me to decide to write him a note asking him to forgive(原諒) me. But I thought I should.The next day in class, I wrote him a note telling him how sorry I felt. About five minutes later, I turned and saw tears in his eyes. “You will never know what your apology(道歉) means to me, Jimmly.” he said to me. “I hope we can become friends. ”We had lunch together that noon and we had the best talk . Over the years at high school, we were close friends.When I think back, I know that, if I did not apologize, I would never know what a lovely person Christian was.Apologies can really change your life, so never miss the chance to tell somebody you are sorry.() 51.

This article tells us that _A. we should make an apology when we hurt othersB. Jimmlys apology was unimportant to ChristianC. Christian wasnt lovely in fact D. it is impossible to say sorry to othersDThere are many differences between British English and American English. I taught a courseabout the differences between the two. We speak English on both sides of the Atlantic(大西洋) Ocean but wehave many differences in our language. We have examples of the same words withdifferent meanings and spellings of the same words. Sometimes thesame things have different words. Here are some examples. A cookie in the US is called a biscuit in the UK.A biscuit in the US is a small cake in the UK. We British people eat a plate of chips but you call fries in the US. In the UK, a pie can be made from meat or fruit, while in the US pies are usually made from fruit；pot pies are made from meat. People measure(測量，計算) most things in grams and kilograms in the US, not poundsand ounces(盎司). One big difference is that we each choose to drive on different sides of the road. Petrol inthe UK is gas in the US. We fill up our cars in the UK in a garage while in the US, itsa gas station. The term garage is also used as a place to store your car next to or close by your house. Inthe UK we call a lorry what is known as a truck in the US. An elevator in the US is called a lift here, and the first floor in the US, is called the ground floor here, so many visitors get off on the wrong floor in British hotels. I could continue with this. There are countless examples of differences within our one shared language. With so many differences, no wonder（難怪） its hard to understand each other well.( )56.The passage is mainly about the differences between British English and American English in_.A. vocabulary（詞匯） B. grammar （語法） C. sound D. spelling( )57.We can know from the passage that the writer may be_. A. a teacher from the UK B. a cook from the UK C. a driver from the US D. a gas station worker from the UK( )58. In the authors opinion(作者認為), _.A. language differences dont influence（影響） understanding B. the same words in the two different types of English may have different spellingsC. there will be fewer differences between American and British English in the futureD. it is impossible that some Americans get off on the wrong floor in British hotels( )59. What can we learn from the passage?A. "Elevator" is often used in the UK. B. Pies mean the same thing in the UK and the US. C. In the UK, people measure things in pounds and ounces. D. British and American people drive on the same side of the road.( )60.What does the underlined word “this”in the last paragraph mean?A. living in Britain and America happily .B. going to the wrong floors .C. understanding each other and speaking different English.D. telling the differences between American English and British English.第二部分非選擇題 (40分)注意：請考生直接答在試卷上。五、任務型閱讀(10分)A.閱讀短文，根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在短文后圖表中的空格里填入恰當?shù)膯卧~。(5分，每空填一個單詞)It is said that the eyes are the windows of our soul.
