My dream is to become an orthodontist， fly to new heights， and impact the world.

三、閱讀理解（共15小題，每小題2分，滿分30分）

A

While taking my boat down the inland waterway to Florida a few weeks ago， I decided to tie up at Georgetown， South Carolina， for the night and visit with an old friend. As we approached the Esso dock， I saw him through my binoculars（望遠(yuǎn)鏡） standing there awaiting us. Tall and straight as an arrow he stood， facing a cold， biting wind—truly a picture of a sturdy（強(qiáng)健的） man， even though his next birthday will make him eightytwo. Yes， the man was our elder statesman， Bernard Baruch.

He loaded us into his station wagon and we were off to his famous Hobcaw Barony for dinner. We sat and talked in the great living room where many celebrities and statesmen， including Roosevelt and Churchill， have sat and taken their cues. In his eightysecond year， still a human dynamic person， Mr. Baruch talks not of the past but of present problems and the future， disapproving of and criticizing our ignorance of history， economics， and psychology. His only reference to the past was to tell me， with a wonderful sparkle in his eye， that he was only able to get eight quail （鵪鶉） out of the ten shots the day before. What is the secret of this great mans value to the world at eightyone？ The answer is his unsatisfied desire to keep being productive.

Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and， having gained it， to learn how to use it properly. Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather wellknown golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a halfdozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can be found there day after day and， strangely enough， each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth， successful in business and respected in the community. If material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness， then each one should have been happy. Yet， it seemed to me， something very important was missing， else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through Scotch and soda. They knew， each one of them， that their productivity had ceased （停止）. When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit， it is dying. And it is even so with man.

What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours？ I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was thumbing through my Bible. The words were few， but they became memorably impressed on my mind： “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread.”

To me， that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections（memories）. In fact， the battle of life， of existence， is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul， too， have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight， I have finished the course， I have kept the faith.

36. The passage above is most probably taken from .

A. an autobiography

B. a photography book

C. a science fiction

D. a USA travel brochure

37. Which of the following is indicated in the 3rd and 4th paragraph？

A. Wealth results from honest effort.

B. The men seated at tables in the locker room are lost in the significance of life.

C. No way can be found to escape the realities of life other than Scotch and soda.

D. Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your face.

38. The writer develops the passage mainly by means of .

A. explanation and argument

B. description and explanation

C. comparison and comment

D. argument and explanation

39. What is implied in the passage by the writer？

A. To use wealth properly， eat， drink and be merry.

B. Where there is a will， there is a way.

C. As life is but like a dream， a man is like a fruit tree.

D. If you cease to struggle， you cease to live.

Fermats Last Theorem

Simon Singh

In 1963 a schoolboy called Andrew Wiles reading in his school library came across the worlds greatest mathematical problem： Fermats Last Theorem（定理）.

Through unbelievable determination Andrew Wiles finally worked out the problem in 1995. An unusual story of human effort over three centuries， Fermats Last Theorem will delight specialists and general readers alike.

Which is sillier： denying we ever went to the moon or trying to convince the true nonbelievers？

Once upon a time—July 20， 1969， to be specific—two men got out of their little spaceship and wandered around on the moon for a while. Ten more men walked on the moon over the next three and a half years. The end.

Unfortunately， not quite. A fair number of Americans think that this whole business of moon landings really is a fairy tale. They believe that the landings were a big hoax （騙局） staged in the Mojave Desert， to convince everyone that U.S. technology was the “bestest” in the whole wide world.

Which is the harder thing to do： Send men to the moon or make believe we did？ The fact is the physics behind sending people to the moon is simple. You can do it with computers whose entire memory capacities can now fit on chips the size of postage stamps and that cost about as much as， well， a postage stamp. I know you can because we did.

However， last fall NASA considered spending $15，000 on a publicrelations campaign to convince the unimpressed that Americans had in fact gone to the moon. That idea was mostly a reaction to a Fox television program， first aired in February 2001， that claimed to expose the hoax. The shows creator is a publicity hound （獵狗） who has lived up to the name in more ways than one by hounding Buzz Aldrin， the second man on the moon. Mr. X （as I will call him， thereby denying him the joyous sight of his name in print） recently followed Buzz Aldrin around and called him “a thief， liar and coward” until the 72yearold astronaut finally lost it and hit the 37yearold Mr. X in the face.

Anyway， NASAs publicity campaign began to slow down. The nonbelievers took the campaign as NASAs effort to hide something while the believers said that $15，000 to convince people that the world was round—I mean， that we had gone to the moon—was simply a waste of money. （Actually， the $15，000 was supposed to pay for an article by James E. Oberg， an astronomy writer who， with Aldrin， has contributed to Scientific American.）

If NASAs not paying Oberg， perhaps it could put the money to good use by hiring two big guys to drag Neil Armstrong out of the house. Armstrong is an extremely private man， but he is also the first man on the moon， so maybe he has a duty to be a bit more outspoken about the experience. Or NASA could just buy Aldrin a commemorate plaque （紀(jì)念匾） for his recent touch on the face of Mr. X.

45. We can learn from Paragraphs 2 and 3 that some Americans believe .

A. moon landings were invented

B. U.S. technology was the best

C. moon landing ended successfully

D. the Mojave Desert was the launching base

46. According to the writer， which of the following is to blame for the story about the hoax？

A. NASAs publicity campaign.

B. The Fox television program.

C. Buzz Aldrin.

D. James E. Oberg.

47. According to the writer， Mr. X .

A. told a faithful story

B. was not treated properly

C. was a talented creator

D. had a bad reputation

48. The believers think that NASAs publicity campaign is .

A. proof to hide the truth

B. stupid and unnecessary

C. needed to convince the nonbelievers

D. important to develop space technology

49. What is implied in the last paragraph？

A. NASA should not bother with the nonbelievers.

B. Armstrong was a very private and determined person.

C. Armstrong should be as outspoken as Buzz Aldrin.

D. NASA should send more astronauts to outer space.

50. The tone of the article is .

Less is more. This is why we say： reduce things by half instead of doubling them， get rid of junk instead of piling it up， relax instead of stressing， and slow down instead of speeding up. Apply these principles in your everyday life in a conscious way. You will then find yourself well along on your journey to simplification.

Separate Your actions

When you concentrate on one task， you find you have energy that you didnt even know you had. Just imagine： you are at a fair and you have to carry two heavy pigs over 100 yards. If you keep grabbing one and then the other， it will take forever， because one of them will keep slipping out from under your arm and running off. But if you tie one pig in a place， pick up the other， gather all your strength and make a dash for the finish line， pause for a moment， run back and get the other one， and with great determination， carry the second pig to the finish line， then you can be sure of success.

Relieve Pressure by Firmly Saying “No”

The pressure at work is on the increase in all occupations. In the modern nuclear family， the expectations that formerly would have been shared among all the relatives are now concentrated on the individual partner.

If you have the feeling that 24 hours per day are not enough for all the things you need to do， then its not because the day has too few hours， but because you have too many activities. A simple fact is that overloaded people often tend to forget. The solution is equally simple： refuse to accept so many work assignments in your private life or your working life.

Allow Yourself to Be Weak

“I can handle stress” is regarded as a positive statement in the world of work. People who can handle stress are given more and more to cope with—until one day they break.

Pay careful attention to the signs that tell you that you are under more stress than you can cope with. These signals can come from various areas of life. You become ill， or your work efficiency decreases.

If you have any of these symptoms， change your life goals and decrease your tolerance of stress. Say quite openly， “I cant manage that.”

Stop Expecting Everything to Be Perfect

“If only I were slimmer， more beautiful， richer， more clever， then I would be happier.” This is a dream that makes a lot of people ill， depressed， and unhappy. Life has its flaws， defects， corners， and edges. Only those who accept this reality can lead a really full life.

Of course there are activities in which errors are dangerous： driving a car； crossing the road. But life doesnt consist entirely of these things. In among them there is a lot of room for small and large mistakes.

Escape Now and Then

Successful people all have their own places where they can withdraw in order to work. Find out which places improve your creativity. For me its the train. When I know that Im going to be travelling for four hours without phone calls and people knocking on my door， I find my mind is free and I can read or write complex articles. There can be problems working on the train， of course： if the person sitting opposite you keeps talking away， or if train trips make you tired （some people fall asleep after a few miles）.How to （51） your lifeIntroductionLess is more. （52） some principles to make your life simpler.SolutionsConcentrate on one task， and you will find you have more energy than you （53）.In the modern nuclear family， individual partners are （54） on more responsibility than they used to be.

閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。

Children in kindergarten are learning social skills. For this reason， its important to tell the children what will make them become good citizens when they grow up. Its up to parents， teachers and all others involved with a kid to teach these skills.

Teaching kids to pick up things by themselves is a good way to teach them not to throw things on the ground. For example， if a class has to make paper cutouts （剪下的圖樣）， after cutting， have the children pick up the wastepaper and place it in the wastebasket.

The golden rule of good citizenship should be taught at this age. The rule is “One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself”. Teachers should ask their students how they want to be treated. There are many answers， such as not being treated in bad manners. The teacher should explain that others dont like to be scared， so you should not scare （使驚恐） others either.

Following the laws is good citizenship （公民義務(wù)）. Proper games can be played in the classroom. Games have rules， and all students in the class should follow the rules of the games. If a child doesnt want to follow， it is up to the teacher to explain them to the child. Teaching children about following rules should help them understand the need to obey the law when they become adults.

五、One possible version：

The writer illustrates that it is important to teach children some skills of becoming good citizens. Therefore， he suggests teaching children to pick up things by themselves， to respect others and follow the laws.

As far as I am concerned， a civilized citizen is supposed to respect others. In public places， such as restaurants， stations or hospitals， a civilized citizen would not speak or talk loudly. Besides， a civilized citizen ought to be always ready to reach out their helping hands. Last but not the least， a civilized citizen should be aware of the significance of obeying the law.

As a senior high school student， I will do what I can to become a civilized citizen in my daily life. For example， I will pick up rubbish on the ground and put it into the dustbin. On my way to school， I will follow the traffic rules. All in all， I will do what I am expected to do. Only in this way can we make our hometown a more comfortable place for all of us to live in.
