第二部分：閱讀理解（共20 題，每題2分, 滿分0分）(基礎題)
閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。A
Florida deputy Gene Smith thought the calls about a kangaroo wandering on the street were part of a prank. But WTSP reports that the story was true: A five-foot-tall, 200-pound kangaroo was hopping around Pasco County on Sunday.
Then the call came that it was now on US 301. Gene Smith, who noted that the calls were the strangest he'd received during 17 years on the force, said, "Sure enough, there was a kangaroo in the middle of the road. It was a pretty big and extremely strong animal. It wasn't until I grabbed those legs that I realized just how strong they were. It doesn't look like that on TV."
In fact, the kangaroo was so strong that police couldn't catch it. Along with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the Pasco County Sheriff's Office Agricultural Unit, they tried a number of approaches to wrangle in the animal without seriously injuring it. But even tranquilizers (鎮定劑) could not slow down the creature. Eventually, local resident Kevin Wehling, who said “he had heard rumors about the kangaroo and wanted to see it for himself,” captured the animal.
Kangaroos typically do not attack humans unless they are angered. However, an Australian politician was recently knocked down and scratched facing a kangaroo while out for a morning jog. They can become more aggressive when hungry or thirsty, or, in this case, when they find themselves in a strange environment with a team of police officers hunting them down.
Police still have no idea who owns the kangaroo have now placed it in the care of a vet. Technically, you can raise a kangaroo in the Sunshine State if you have the right permits. In theory, wildlife officials should be able to narrow the field and pinpoint (查明) where the stray kangaroo came from.
36. What does the underlined word "prank" in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Task.
B. Plan.
C. Trick.
D. Show.
37. According to what Gene Smith said in Para-graph 2, we infer that____.
A. he was skilled at grabbing kangaroos
B. he had seen many kangaroos in the wild before
C. he had always worried that kangaroos would attack people
D. he didn't expect capturing the kangaroo would be that hard
38. What role did Kevin Wehling play in the action of capturing the kangaroo?
A. He managed to put the kangaroo under control.
B. He shot tranquilizers into the body of the kangaroo.
C. He spread rumors that the kangaroo was unbeatable.
D. He stood in the way of the kangaroo and slowed it down.
39. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A. Kangaroos are the gentlest animals in the world.
B. Kangaroos can be dangerous in certain circumstances.
C. Kangaroos usually beg for food when they are hungry.
D. Kangaroos can adapt to a strange environment quickly.
40. Wildlife officials should be able to pinpoint where the stray kangaroo came from because______.
A. the kangaroo can lead them to its owner
B. they can refer to the kangaroo's footsteps
C. cameras have recorded the kangaroo's track
D. they can refer to records of people keeping Kangaroos

You don't have to understand the stock market to prove a country is having a difficult economic time. You have only to look at lipstick sales to see how big an economic downturn a country faces. Sales of make-up like lipstick go up when the economy is bad and go down when the economy improves. This is called the "Lipstick Effect."
The lipstick effect goes as far back as the Great Depression of the 1930s. During this time period many jobs were lost and many factories closed, but sales of cosmetics (化妝品) rose. In Germany, although many people lost jobs, the biggest cosmetic company did not need to sack a single worker. More recently in the USA, during the hard times of 1990 and 2001 more workers were needed in the cosmetic industry while other companies were cutting workers. And it was even said that, after the terrorist attacks of September 11, lipstick sales doubled!
Researchers have discovered that when times get hard and there is less money to spend on large, expensive products like new cars, designer shoes, or jewelry, women buy little things to improve their mood. Most of these things are cosmetics and the most popular one women buy is lipstick. A new color of lipstick can sometimes be enough to brighten a woman's mood. A similar thing happens when men shop during an economic slowdown. They have less money to spend but they still want to treat themselves, so they buy smaller, less costly goods instead of sports cars or new houses.
41. What happens to sales of lipstick when the economy is good?
A. Less lipstick is sold.
B. It is much easier to sell lipstick.
C. Lipstick sells at an increased price.
D. They make up the largest part of cosmetics sales.
42. What would become of a big cosmetic company during the Great Depression?
A. They gave employees a special job.
B. It functioned normally or even better.
C. They would employ someone for a short time. D. They dismissed many workers.
43. During the economic slowdown, women consider lipstick as something that______.
A. is helpful in finding a job
B. can provide a big change to their look
C. is more necessary than any other goods
D. can give them great satisfaction at a low cost
44. Which best describes people's shopping habits during an economic slowdown?
A. They choose goods they value most.
B. They shop at the second-hand market.
C. They buy cheap and cheerful products. D. They spend less money on small goods.
45. What's the best title for the text? A. Lipsticks May Be an Economic Mirror.
B. The Cosmetics Market Leads a Nation. C. Lipstick Gives the Economy a Big Push.
D. Women's Love for Cosmetics Never Changes.
C
A quick look at a newspaper, the Internet, or a TV newscast makes it easy to see that famous people don't have much privacy. Every day there is juicy new gossip to be talked about, and the stories often come with embarrassing pictures and sometimes videos. The gossip part of media has become its own industry, and it is big business.
When there is such widespread attraction to something, there are always those who are against it. In this case, people are saying that the media has no right to publicly reveal private information about famous people. However, some say that movie stars and other famous people have learned about what public life is like and made such a decision to go into it. In today's world, there is very little privacy. Juicy photos and stories about celebrities can be worth a lot of money, and the paparazzi(狗仔), photographers who follow famous people to take photos, have been taking pictures for a long time. One could even say that this is the price to pay for fame.
There are also other situations. Most of these celebrities and socialites actively asked the media to help them show themselves to the public early in their careers. It was good to build their careers. Many also revealed personal information to become famous, if it meant getting a story written about them. Their attitudes changed once they became famous. Suddenly the media became a trouble, and these stars wanted their privacy.
