A woman from Japan was telling a friend about her experience in the United States. The woman _16_ major businesses and investment companies in New York City and Chicago.“I studied English _17_ I left home，” she said. “But I _18_ was not sure that people were speaking English.”Her problem is _19_ to understand. Americans in business are like people who are in business anywhere. They have a language _20_. Some of the words and expressions _21_ the special areas of their work. _22_ expressions are borrowed from different kinds of work such as the theater and movie industry._23_ saying is “get your act together”When things go wrong in a business, an employer may get angry. He may _24_， “Stop making mistakes. Get your act together.”_25_， if the employer is calmer, he may say, “Let _26_ act together.”_27_ way, the meaning is the same. Getting your act together is getting organized. In business, it usually means to develop a calm and _28_ plan of action.It is difficult to tell _29_ the saying began. But, it is probable that it was in the theater or movie industry. Perhaps one of the _30_ was nervous and made a lot of mistakes. The director may have said, “_31_， now. Get your act together.”Word expert James Rogers says the expression was _32_ by the late nineteen seventies. James Rogers says the Manchester Guardian newspaper used it in 1978. The newspaper said a reform policy _33_ that the British government get its act together.Now, this expression is heard _34_ when officials of a company meet. One company _35_ called its yearly report, “Getting Our Act Together”16A.has visited Bvisited Chad visited Dwas visiting17A.before Bafter Csince Dwhen18A.even Byet Calready Dstill19A.easy Bsimple Chard Dclear20A.on its own Bof their own Con their own Dof its own21A.concern with Btalk about Cspeak of Ddeal with22A.Others BThe others COther DThe other23A.Such BSuch one CSuch a DOne such24A.cry Bspeak Cscream Dshout25A.And BBut CSo DOr26A.them get their Bus get our Cyou get your Dit get its27A.Any BBoth CEach DEither28A.likely Blovely Corderly Dlively29A.when Bwhy Chow Dwhere30A.actors Bwaiters Cdirectors Dplayers31A.Get down BCheer up CCalm down DCome on32A.ordinary Bcommon Cnormal Dregular33A.requested Bsuggested Crecommended Drequired34A.often Bregularly Chardly Dseldom35A.ever Bstill Ceven Dalready第二部分閱讀理解(共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40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。AStudy after study shows that regular moderate walking can help you lose weight and reduce your risk of heart disease.In a study, Japanese researchers tested obese men before and after they joined a one­year modest walking plan. All they did was up the number of steps they took during their daily activities, such as walking from the car to the grocery store. The result: Their blood pressure and cholesterol levels improved and the amount of body fat around their abdomen(腹部)the dangerous kind of fat that leads to higher rates of heart diseasegreatly decreased.That's good news, because walking has now become the most popular fitness activity in the United States. Convenient, simple, and gentle on the joints, walking is perhaps the easiest form of exercise to maintain. According to surveys, four out of five women who start a walking program continue to walk, while half of women who attempt other types of aerobic exercise, such as swimming, drop_out during the first few months.Here are some ways to put more walking into your life.1Learn the basics. Before you take your next step outdoors, you need to know how much walking to do, and how often.2Pick a charityit could be breast cancer, the American Red Cross, the United Wayand pledge to contribute $1 for every mile you walk. You'll take pride in the fact that you are walking for something beyond yourself.3Walk with a friend. If she's expecting you, you're more likely to get out of bed on cold winter mornings or skip the cafeteria for a lunchtime walk.4Walk for entertainment one day a week. Instead of walking around your neighborhood, walk through the zoo, an art museum, or a shopping mall.36Which of the following is NOT the character of walking?AConvenient. BDifficult. CGentle.

If the greatest day in your life is just_around_the_corner and you still can not decide where to go for your honeymoon，then you needn't think anymore. New York is just the place for you and your partner to spend some of the greatest days of your life. Whether it is the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty，you can do a lot to keep yourself suitably yet interestingly engaged during your honeymoon in New York.When on your honeymoon the best way to while away your time is by shopping. The city of New York is a famous shopping destination and any time of the day you can walk into mega stores like Macys, Dillard's and Bloomingdales. Going to the famous museums or even to the Broadway can be a good idea if both of you take a keen interest in new things.If a romantic getaway is what you prefer then take your partner to the Arthur Ross Terrace and Garden that can be the perfect romantic place to get away from the crowd. A quiet dinner can also be the best idea for you and your partner to take time off only for yourselves. New York City has some of the best restaurants in the world serving great food and in some cases great music，too，comes along with it. There are some restaurants like Chumley's，Manhattan Diner and Doyers Vietnamese Restaurant that are not well known but offer great platters.Most importantly when you go to New York make sure to put at one of the best hotels there. You can choose from a number of great hotels that include The Ritz Carlton and The Waldorf Astoria. Most of these hotels have a splendid private restroom and a customized(訂制的) tea bar.Night­life in New York is the best in the world with several discotheques opening their doors to the public. Honeymooning couples will especially find it romantic to be able to enjoy their togetherness in the trendy confines of a bar and restroom or even at a happening night club.40The underlined part “just around the corner” in the first paragraph might be explained by _Ahappening Bcoming Cbursting Dending41According to the passage，New York is a best place for those who are getting married to_Aget ready for their holidays Bhold wedding anniversaryCspend honeymoon Denjoy their life42If you want to look for a quiet and romantic place to rest，_ is the best choice for you.AArthur Ross Terrace and Garden BDoyers Vietnamese RestaurantCBroadway or some museums Dmega stores like Macys43The passage is mainly written for those who _Alike to take travel to New York Bwill be married near the futureCenjoy spending honeymoon Dhave no idea where to go for honeymoonCThe supposed “consensus” on man­made global warming is facing an inconvenient challenge after the release of new temperature data showing the planet has not warmed for the past 15 years.The figures suggest that we could even be heading for a mini ice age as serious as the 70­year temperature drop that saw frost fairs held on the Thames in the 17th century.Based on readings from more than 30，000 measuring stations, the date was issued last week by the Met Office (氣象部). It confirms that the rising trend in world temperatures ended in 1997.Meanwhile, leading climate scientists yesterday told The Mail on Sunday that, after giving off unusually high levels of energy throughout the 20th century, the sun is now heading towards a “grand minimum” in its output, threatening cold summers, bitter winters and a shortening of the season available for growing food.Solar output goes through 11­year cycles, with high numbers of sunspots (黑子) seen at their peak.We are now at what should be the peak of what scientists call “Cycle 24”which is why last week's solar storm resulted in sightings of the Aurora Borealis (北極光) further south than usual. But sunspot numbers are running at less than half those seen during cycle peaks in the 20th century.Analysis by experts at NASA and the University of Arizonaobtained from magnetic­field measurements 120，000 miles beneath the sun's surfacesuggests that “Cycle 25”， whose peak is due in 2022, will be a great deal weaker still.According to a paper issued last week by the Met Office, there is a 92 percent chance that both “Cycle 25” and those taking place in the following decades will be as weak as, or weaker than, the “Dalton minimum” of 1790 to 1830. In this period, named after the meteorologist (氣象學者) Joh Dalton, average temperatures in parts of Europe fell by 2.However, it is also possible that the new solar energy decline could be as deep as the “Maunder minimum” (named after astronomer Edward Maunder), between 1645 and 1715 in the coldest part of the “Little Ice Age” when, as well as the Thames frost fairs, the canals of Holland froze solid.44The new temperature data was produced from _Athe Met OfficeBreadings from measuring stationsCthe analysis by experts at NASA and the University of ArizonaDthe records about “Dalton minimum” and “Maunder minimum”45What may result from the change of solar output?aSummer becomes even hotter. bWinter becomes even colder.cPeople lack food to eat. dAverage temperature decreases.Aa, b, c Ba, b, d Cb, c, d Da, c, d46Which year might have the highest average temperature according to the passage?AThe year 1698. BThe year 1813.CThe year 1997. DThe year 2022.47The author writes the passage to _Aappeal to people to study meteorologyBintroduce a study on global temperatureCcall for further confirmation of the studyDtell people to produce more carbon dioxideDBringing up children is hard work, and you are often to blame for any bad behavior of your children. If so，Judith Rich Harris has good news for you. Parents, she argues, have no important long­term effect on the development of the personality of their children. Far more important are their playground friends and neighborhood. Ms Harris takes to hitting the assumption, which has dominated (支配) developmental psychology for almost half a century.Ms Harris's attack on the developmentalists' “nature” argument looks likely to reinforce(加強) doubts that the profession was already having. If parents matter，why is it that two adopted children，brought up in the same home，are no more similar in personality than two adopted children brought up in separate homes？Or that a pair of identical twins，brought up in the same home，are no more alike than a pair of identical twins brought up in different homes?Difficult as it is to track the precise effects of parental upbringing，it may be harder to measure the exact influence of the peer (同齡人) group in childhood and adolescence. Ms Harris points to how children from immigrant homes soon learn not to speak at school in the way their parents speak. But acquiring a language is surely a skill，rather than a characteristic of the sort developmental psychologists hunt for. Certainly it is different from growing up tense or relaxed，or from learning to be honest or hardworking or generous. Easy though it may be to prove that parents have little influence on those qualities，it will be hard to prove that peers have vastly more.Moreover，mum and dad surely cannot be ditched completely. Young adults may，as Ms Harris argues，be keen to appear like their peers. But even in those early years，parents have the power to open doors：they may initially choose the peers with whom their young associate，and pick that influential neighborhood. Moreover，most people suspect that they come to resemble their parents more in middle age，and that people's child bearing habits may be formed partly by what their parents did. So the balance of influences is probably complicated，as most parents already suspected without being able to demonstrate it scientifically. Even if it turns out that the genes they pass on and the friends their children play with matter as much as affection，discipline and good example，parents are not completely off the hook.48According to Ms Harris, _Aparents are to blame for any bad behavior of their childrenBchildren's personality is shaped mostly by their friends and neighborsCnature rather than upbringing has a significant effect on children's personality developmentDparents will greatly affect the children's life in the long run49The word “ditched”(Line 1，Paragraph 4)could best be replaced by_Aproved Bemphasized Ccompared Dignored50The developmental psychologists think_Achildren are more influenced by their peersBidentical twins raised in the same home are different in personalityCtwins raised in two separate families are different in personalityDupbringing has a less significant effect on children's personality development51What does the author mean by saying “parents are not completely off the hook” at the end of the passage?AParents should control the situation.BParents should give their way to children.CParents should spend more time on children.DParents should take on their responsibility.EWe all have some regrets. For NBA superstar LeBron James, the biggest regret might be that he chose to leave the Cavaliers, his club for seven years. In the summer of 2010 James announced on a TV show that he would be joining the Miami Heat although he had reportedly told the Cavaliers that he would stay with them. James went from hero to villain (壞人) overnight.James admitted that he had been affected by the outburst of hatred from Cavaliers fans. “It turned me into somebody I wasn't，” he said. “When you start to hear the villain， you have to be the villain. And I started to buy_into it. I started to play the game of basketball in a mind state that I had never played before. I mean angry.”James led the Miami Heat to the NBA Finals in the first year of the Big 3s formation (組合). But at the last minute they were defeated by the Dallas Mavericks and James' performance was described by many as disappointing.“The best teacher in life is experience and going through things，” James said. “No one can set you up for that. You've got to go through it.”“I learned a lot from it，” he continued. “I thought about ways to get better individually on and off the court. I'm back this season to a better person and a better basketball player.”James describes family, friends and basketball as the three things that matter most to him in life. “And after that, everything else becomes irrelevant，” he said.After emerging (擺脫) from his post­Finals misery, James began showing his personality again.He knew he had to sharpen his own skills. He worked on his lowpost (低位技術(shù)) game with Hall of Fame center Hakeem Olajuwon. “For me, it's all about getting back to the love of the game，” James said. “I'm back to loving the game. I'm back to having fun. That's something I forgot about.”We've already started to see that renewed love in action. The Heat got their revenge against the Mavericks in the season opener. James scored 37 points to lead his team to a 105­94 victory. James also performed well in their second game against the Boston Celtics, helping the Heat win 115­107.“The stage is set for LeBron to win his first NBA title，” wrote Sam Krumov, CNN World Sport Producer. “Get ready to crown King James.”52What's LeBron James' biggest regret according to the article?ANot getting good results in 2010.BBecoming from hero to villain overnight.CLeaving his club, the Cavaliers.DBeing affected by the outburst of hatred from Cavaliers fans.53The underlined phrase “buy into” in the second paragraph probably means _Aget sth Bbuy sth using moneyCpersuade sb to do sth Daccept or believe (sth) as true54What can we learn from the fourth and fifth paragraphs according to the article?AIf you want to get the experience, you must go through it.BExperience isn't necessary in life.CYou can do something simple to get the experience.DJames is a better basketball player.55What's the last paragraph mainly about?AJames showed his renewed love to basketball in action.BJames' achievements in life.CJames won his first NBA title.DJames performed well in their second game against the Boston
