　　【要點綜述】本文是廣告閱讀。全文是四本書里面精彩部分的節選，每本書后面都標明了價格，目的是推銷這些書。

　　56. D　細節理解題。這是針對第一則廣告設計的問題。從第一則廣告的When Salinger learned that…我們知道，如果讀者想知道Salinger的生活，就要買Random House出版的這本自傳。本題中，題干部分的Salinger是關鍵。其他廣告都沒有提到Salinger這個人，因此可以排除。

　　57. D　推理判斷題。本題是針對第四則廣告設計的問題。從Do you like to watch your kids having fun？我們知道，這是寫給父母的。再結合里面的Disney World我們更能確定答案。

　　58. C　細節理解題。這是針對第三則廣告設計的問題。這一部分提出了婦女的性格各異。

　　59. A　推理判斷題。這是針對第二則廣告設計的問題。從文章中的 “Maybe，” he said quietly我們知道，他會幫助抓住殺人犯的。Annika是分析案情的人，不是兇手，故排除D項。從文章中分析，殺人犯不會逍遙法外，他們會把他抓住的，因此排除C；從Benny’s death was no accident我們可以排除B。

　　A Book Review — The Snake-Stone

　　by Berlie Doherty

　　The setting: Urban England (the cities), but also rural England (the countryside) including remote English villages.

　　The theme: The main theme is a teenage search of self-discovery, in this case the search for a mother from whom the hero was separated at an early age. Its other concerns are love, getting on with others ，being persistent and courageous and trying to deal with doubts, troubles and worries. As the book moves to a close, James' swimming coach says to him: ‘You are not like a kid obeying instructions any more. You are diving like a young man who knows where he is going.’

　　The characters: James is the hero of the story. He is a championship diver, and has a comfortable life with his foster parents(養父母)．Yet he also has the qualities to take him on a long journey to find his birth mother. The other characters in The Snake-Stone, James' parents, his diving instructor, best friend, the villagers, people he meets on his journey, are pictured realistically.

　　The turning point：The turning point in the story comes while James' foster parents are away in London, and he wonders about the identity of his birth mother. The only clue he has is a fossil, ‘the snake stone’ which she left behind along with a note on which she had written，‘Take good care of Sammie.’ It was written on a torn envelope with parts of an address still there.

　　The journey：Instead of going to London, James decides to find his birth mother. With help from his geography teacher, James sets out for the remote country village where his mother might be found. James has painful, challenging, but also humorous and happy travels. The mother he finally meets, Anne, has a minor yet powerful voice in the novel. He comes to understand why she left him at a stranger's door fifteen years before. Although the meeting is not long, it leaves him with a feeling of completeness. As a journey of self-discovery The Snake-Stone also provides its readers with a happy ending. Its hero says, on returning to his foster parents, ‘I was home.’

　　61. What is the main theme of the novel?

　　A. Life with foster parents.

　　B. Life in the world of diving.

　　C. A journey of self-discovery.

　　D. A travel around the country.

　　62. What do the coach's words in Paragraph 2 suggest?

　　A. James is a successful diver.

　　B. James is a hopeful swimmer.

　　D. James is an independent young man.

　　63. The snake stone in the novel is________.

　　A. a stone with an address on it

　　B. a clue left by the birth mother

　　C. a gift from the swimming coach

　　D. a fossil left by the foster parents

　　64. Which of the following is true about the novel?

　　A. The story has a sad ending.

　　B. The story takes place in the city of London.

　　65. It can be concluded that James' journey is ________.

　　B. boring

　　C. comfortable

　　D. disappointing

　　【要點綜述】本文為一篇應用文，主要介紹了一本書的背景、主題、人物、故事的轉折點以及人物的旅途等信息。

　　61. C　細節理解題。由第二段第一句“The main theme is a teenage search of self-discovery…”可知本書的主題是自我發現的旅程。

　　62. D　推理判斷題。由第二段教練的話“You are not like a kid obeying instructions any more. You are diving like a young man who knows where he is going.”可知詹姆斯不像小孩，而是像一個知道自己方向的年輕人，由此可推斷出他是一個獨立的年輕人。

　　63. B　細節理解題。由第四段“The only clue he has is a fossil, ‘the snake stone’ which she left behind along with a note on…with parts of an address still there.”的敘述可知這塊石頭是他親生母親留下的線索。64. C　細節理解題。由第三段最后一句“…are pictured realistically.”可知故事逼真地介紹了里面的角色。vividly與realistically意思一致。

　　65. A　推理判斷題。由最后一段第三句“James has painful, challenging, but also humorous and happy travels.”及全文敘述可知詹姆斯的旅途是值得的。

　　Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree.In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses, each lasting for one semester.A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester.Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year.It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period.It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.

　　For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to future employers.All this imposes a constant pressure and stress of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs.Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm.The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities.Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court.With the enormous numbers of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity.A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and will be of benefit to him later in his career.
