Cash is a well-known therapist in Washington. She is regarded as an expert in the field of cyber-psychology as she is the first therapist _1._ an Internet-obsessed patient. Now she runs a clinic called Internet Computer Addiction Services for Web over- users.
Many of her clients are people who
spend so much time online _2._ they become moody
or emotional. Sleep deprivation and negligence of responsibilities are common among these patients, some of _3._ even
lie to their loved ones and lose interest in making connections with others. According to the study result presented to the American Psychological
Association last year, 6% of Internet users fit
into this _4._. To Cash and a growing
number of experts, this kind of behavior has already influenced the patients' lives, especially in their relationships
with their significant other.
During
the process of treatment, Cash
suggests that her patient _5._ at least six hours a week talking about
day-to-day events and dining out with people. "That may
only be five minutes at one time, half an hour at another," says Cash.
"But once that time is lost, relationship between couples will start to fall apart."

A
classic of English literature, Pride and Prejudice, vividly presents women's different attitudes toward love and marriage in
the 19th century. The story _1._ centers on the five unmarried daughters in the
Bennet family and their extremely
worried mother, who is eager to find
wealthy men for her daughters.
For
Mrs. Bennet, a woman's worth is determined
not by what she is but by what her husband has, and it would be a great _2._ if
any of her daughters should remain
single. However, Jane and Elizabeth, the eldest and the second daughters, hold
a completely different idea, thinking _3._ marriage should never be arranged or forced. For Elizabeth,
marriage is a promise and love
should come from strong appreciation; thus, it would be _4._ for her to marry
someone that is too proud to appreciate who she really is. As for Kitty and
Lydia, they don't really take marriage seriously or care about family reputation. All that they desire to do is have fun and enjoy
their lives to the fullest. They go
crazy with handsome soldiers in the party and eventually _5._ everything and embarrassed
their family.
The
women in Pride and Prejudice have
their own ideas toward love and marriage, and through reading the novel,
readers will surely find an interpretation
that they can best relate to.

應考小撇步
如何分辨關係子句及名詞子句很重要，能正確辨識才能選出正確引導子句的連接詞。關係子句和前面(先行詞)是修飾關係，若子句裡有缺主詞、受詞，則關係詞要用關係代名詞(who、which、that等)；若不缺主詞、受詞，則關係詞應使用關係副詞(when、where等)引導；但若引導的子句和前面不是修飾關係，而是當主詞、受詞、同位語及補語，則應為that名詞子句，這樣的子句裡才不會有欠缺主詞、受詞或其他資訊。例如上面的第3題題後資訊完整，且前面動詞think要選用一件事當受詞，所以選that引導名詞子句做為think的受詞。
句型總匯

說明：此句型all、what、the
only thing等所引導的子句當主詞，需視為單數。子句中的主要動詞若有do，則不定詞to可以省略，但若子句中沒有do，則不可省略to。
à [All (that)
you have to do] is (to) study hard and pass the
exam to get into a good college.
à [What
she wants] is to ask for her mother's
forgiveness. (主要子句沒有do，to ask的to 不可省)
à [The only
thing you need to do
when you get lost] is (to) ask the police for help.
III. 文意選填
"Euthanasia" is a word from ancient Greek, which means "good
death." It is the _1._ of ending one’s life, usually with an injection. The ancient Greeks and
Romans could _2._ the idea of ending a patient's life if there was no hope for
him or her. Nowadays, however,
euthanasia is against the law in most parts of the world and is only _3._ in a
few countries such as the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, and Thailand.
Euthanasia
is a much _4._ topic. People who disagree with
such an act think it is murder while
others tend to think it is mercy. Supporters of euthanasia _5._ that
one's quality of life is more important
than how long one lives. In addition, the medical _6._ spent on those who cannot
be saved may as well be put to better use. Other people claim that
euthanasia is against the oath that
doctors take. Doctors take an oath before they practice medicine, in which they
promise never to _7._ patients' lives. Another belief holds that euthanasia is morally wrong. Some people consider it suicide, and if you _8._, that becomes murder. In the film, The Sea Inside, the main character, Ramon, was paralyzed
from his neck down and wished to end his own life. However, the priest tried to talk him out of the
idea, and in their argument, Ramon _9._ his decision and told the priest, “A
life without freedom is not a life.”
There
is still some heated _10._ on euthanasia, and many feel very strongly about the
topic. This is an argument which is sure to continue for many years.

IV. 篇章結構
The
idea that dogs can act as eyes for the blind
first developed at the beginning of
the twentieth century in a unique school. Located
in Germany, the school was unusual because it was a school for dogs instead
of humans. These dogs were trained to lead people who could not see. ___1.___
Being a guide dog requires the dog to stay focused at all times, so dogs that easily lose their attention are not suitable. ___2.___ Labrador retrievers, German shepherds,
and boxers make excellent guides
because they are friendly and easy to train. During its training, the dog is
taken to many kinds of busy places such as large stores, noisy airports, and crowded restaurants. ___3.___ The dog
must learn to ignore anything that might cause its attention to wander because it is responsible for
carefully guiding its owner through any obstacle.
For example, the guide dog is trained to stop before a curb to tell the owner to step up or down. When training is finally
finished, a guide dog is assigned to
an owner. The two of them must be a perfect match because they will be partners
for a long time. ___4.___ Therefore, a big and strongly built person
will be more suitable for a large dog while an indoor person will probably not
want to be matched with a dog that needs plenty
of exercise.
(A) It
was quickly discovered that not every dog species was fit for the school.
(B) The
size, weight, liking, and nature of both are taken
into account for a good match.
(C) After a few
years of trial and error, it is decided that certain species are better guides
than others.
(D)
This is to get it exposed and used
to all kinds of situations it may
face in the future.

Societies all
over the world name places in similar
ways. Quite often, there is no official
naming ceremony but places tend to
be called names as points of reference
by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently, it happens that a place
has two names: one is named by the people and the other by the government.
As in many areas, old habits die hard, and the place continues to be
called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.
Take
Singapore for example. Many roads and places in Singapore were named in order
that the pioneers from England would
be remembered by future generations.
Thus, there are names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countries
----in both the West and the East. Another way of naming places is naming them after
other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two
places or it could be that the people who used
to live there were originally
from the places that the roads were named after.
Some
places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras
Basah Road is an interesting example. "Bras Basah" means "wet
rice" in Malay. Why would anyone want to name a road "Wet Rice
Road?" The reason is simple. During the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road. There are
also some roads named by their shapes such as "Circular Road." Other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes, like "Paya
Lebar Crescent." This road is
called a "crescent" because it begins on the main road, makes a
crescent and comes back to join the main road again.
( )

Change completely. (B)
Change suddenly.
(C)
Disappear mysteriously. (D)
Disappear slowly.
( )
3. According to the article, what is "Bras Basah Road" named after?

person. (B) A place. (C) An activity. (D) Its shape.

Some place names in Singapore are closely related to Britain.

What
do cancer and scorpions have in common? The words that we think of
would be "death," "fatal"
or "better not to see one in my lifetime.” But when Dr. James Olson cleverly combined the two and invented Tumor
Paint, they brought "hope" to brain tumor patients.
Dr.
James Olson is an expert in children's tumors in Seattle Children's Hospital.
His co-worker, Dr. Richard
Ellenbogen, operated on a 17-year-old
girl's brain for almost 12 hours, but failed to completely get rid of the tumors because, despite
his extensive experience, he had
difficulty telling healthy and cancerous brain tissues apart.
Ellenbogen and Olson talked about how important it was to clearly identify a tumor. After a six-week
study, they discovered that a kind of protein
in the scorpion's venom, chlorotoxin, would stick to a cancer cell
instead of healthy ones. They further studied it and made it into a substance, serving as a dye.
The
new substance is Tumor Paint, produced
by Blaze Bioscience, founded by
Olson. As Tumor Paint is injected into the body, the tumor glows so that surgeons
can easily remove cancer tissues
without damaging other parts of the brain. This makes it more likely for the
brain surgery to succeed.
Tumor
Paint is an amazing medical invention, which is sure to benefit a large number of brain tumor patients. Yet there is still
one thing to work on; that is, it cannot be applied to tumors which lie deep inside the
body because it needs direct light to light them up. However, Dr. James Olson
and his team are glad to be able to help patients with the help of Mother
Nature.
( ) 1. Which of the following is the best title
of this article?
(A) Scorpions: The Amazing Cure for Cancer
(B) Scorpions: The Cleverest Creature in Mother
Nature
(C) Tumor Paint: Overcoming the Fear of Cancer
(D) Tumor Paint: Changing the Way to Fight Cancer
( ) 2. What gave Dr. James Olson the idea to
invent Tumor Paint?
(A) The behavior
of the scorpion. (B) An
unsuccessful operation.
(C) Dr. Richard
Ellenbogen's research. (D) A kind of
paint that glows.
( ) 3. When will Tumor Paint NOT be able to help
the patient?
(A) When the tumor
is too big to operate on.
(B) When light is
unable to shine on the tumor.
(C) When the tumor
does not react to Tumor Paint.
(D) When there are
too many tumors found all over the brain.
( ) 4. Which of the following statements is NOT
true?
(A) Chlorotoxin,
found in the scorpion's venom, can kill cancerous cells.
(B) Dr. James
Olson worked hard on the method of facilitating brain surgery.
(C)
Brain surgery is so complicated that sometimes it's hard to remove the tumor
completely.
(D) Dr. James
Olson drew inspiration from nature to invent medical aids.

VII. 混合題型
One
of the things that tourists may
notice everywhere in Japan is vending machines. With more than five million in
active service, it is never difficult to see how much Japanese people rely on the convenience that vending machines provide.
Vending
machines have a long history in Japan, but it wasn't until 1924, when Nakayama
Koichirou invented a machine selling "drinks and snacks," that the
popularity of vending machines started to take
off. Yet Nakayama's invention is not the first of the sort. Years before that, Tawaraya Koshichi invented the first
patented vending machine in Japan, which dispensed stamps and postcards.
Tawaraya built this stamp and postcard dispenser based
on his previous model, a tobacco selling machine. It was
designed 20 years earlier, and was the oldest vending machine recorded in
Japanese history. In 1950, a "Fountain-style
Juice Dispenser" was invented, which later invited many beer companies to follow suit and join the vending machine
business. The number of vending machines reached one million in 1970, and the figure
has gone all the way up ever since.
Reasons
for the popularity of vending machines in Japan are manifold. In other countries, for example, vending machines are
only placed indoors for safety reasons. In Japan, however, the low crime rates mean that vending machines can be
placed outdoors. This has greatly increased the availability of the machines
and the number of users increases as a result.
Besides, the
large circulation of coins beginning
in 1967 made it possible for the Japanese to use vending machines more casually
and frequently. Another
reason that explains the popularity of vending machines in Japan is the
closeness Japanese people feel towards robots. This is clearly shown in
Japanese animations such as Astro Boy and Doraemon, and most Japanese people do
not mind buying goods or receiving service from vending machines, an extended
form of robots.
Nowadays,
Japan tops the world with its amazing use and heavy reliance on vending
machines. Creative and even weird
machines are always on the way. It's thus safe to say that Japan is indeed the "King of Vending
Machines."
( ) 1. Which of the following about vending
machines in Japan is NOT mentioned in this article?
(A) A brief
history of Japanese vending machines.
(B) Some of the
early inventors of vending machines.
(C) Examples of
unusual and strange vending machines.
(D) The number of
vending machines in a certain period of time.
( ) 2. What is the word "manifold" in the third paragraph
closest in meaning to?
(A) gradual (B) various (C) normal (D)
typical
( ) 3. Please put the following vending
machines A, B, C and D in a correct time order. (From the earliest to the latest.)
(A) Tobacco
Dispenser (B)
Fountain-style Juice Dispenser
(C) Drinks and
Snacks Dispenser (D) Stamps
and Postcards Dispenser
