9、ooden house. Every window in our wooden house has a view, and the forest and lakes seldom look the same as the hour before. Each look reminds us where we are. There is space for our three boys to play outside, to shoot arrows, collect tree seeds, build earth houses and climb trees. Our kids have lea

10、rned the names of the trees, and with the names have come familiarity and appreciation. As they tell all who show even a passing interest, maple（楓樹）makes the best fighting sticks and white pines are the best climbing trees. The air is clean and fresh. The water from the well has a pleasant taste, an

11、d it is perhaps the healthiest water our kids will ever drink. Though they have one glass a day of juice and the rest is water, they never say anything against that. The seasons change just outside the door. We watch the maples turn every shade of yellow and red in the fall and note the poplars（楊樹）p

Then you start walking around clicking on your car keys so the alarm goes off. It can be annoying, especially on a hot sunny day.No, you neednt install(安裝) an ex

17、pensive GPS system to keep track of your car. Thats too expensive. You would need to pay a monthly fee to use it. But is there a way to track your vehicle without spending a fortune? Yes, now there is! A California-based company has created a tiny device that works with your smartphone, which could

Where is this passage most likely taken from?A. A research report. B. A website. C. A personal blog. D. A journal. C

25、 Have you wondered why different animals or pests have their particular colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.      Birds, especially seagulls are very fond of locusts (蝗蟲), but birds cant easily catch locusts because locusts change their colours togeth

26、er with the change of the colour of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide the

27、mselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.      If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of colouring is to protect them. Bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible(cant be seen) to the ey

28、es of hunters, because they have the colour much like the bark（樹皮）of trees.       An even stranger act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid is over, its enemies cannot find it, and it

29、quickly swims away. Thus, it has existed up to now though it is not powerful at all.28. This passage mainly talks about _. A. the change of colour in locusts B. animals or pests can dye（染色）themselves different colours C. how a certain sea fish protects itself D. the protective colour of animals and

30、pests 29. Locusts are pests but they aren't easily wiped out by their enemies because_. A. they change colors with the crops              B. they are dangerous to their enemies C. they fly very fast    

31、;         D. they are powerful enough 30. The pests that have different colours from plants usually appear at night because _. A. they have the habit of coming out in darkness B. their enemies can easily find them and eat them    C. it's eas

32、y for them to destroy plants in darkness       D. birds take their rests when night comes 31 A certain fish living in seas has lived through millions of year because _. A. it is the most powerful in the sea B no other fishes can swim as fast as it can C. it can sen

33、d out a kind of liquid which makes its enemies unable to find it D. the liquid it sends out can kill its enemies D It's rare that you see the words "shyness" and "leader" in the same sentence. After all, the common viewpoint is that those outgoing and sociable guys make great

34、 public speakers and excellent networkers and that those shy people are not. A survey conducted by USA Today referred to 65 percent of executives who believed shyness to be a barrier to leadership. Interestingly, the same article stresses that roughly 40 percent of leaders actually are quite shythey

35、're just better at adapting themselves to situational demands. Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Charles Schwab are just a few "innies".Unlike their outgoing counterparts who are more sensitive to rewards and risk-taking, shy people take a cautious approach to chance. Rather than the flash

36、y chit-chat that defines social gathering, shy people listen attentively to what others say and absorb it before they speak. They're not thinking about what to say while the other person is still talking, but rather listening so they can learn what to say. Along the same lines, shy people share

37、a common love of learning. They are intrinsically（內在地） motivated and therefore seek content regardless of achieving an outside standard.Being shy can also bring other benefits. Remember being in school and hearing the same kids contribute, until shy little Johnny, who almost never said a word, cut i

38、n? Then what happened? Everyone turned around to look with great respect at little Johnny actually talking. This is how shy people made good use of their power of presence：they "own" the moment by speaking calmly and purposefully, which translate to a positive image.Shyness is often relate

39、d to modesty. Not to say that limelight-seekers aren't modest, but shy people tend to have an accurate sense of their abilities and achievements. As a result, they are able to acknowledge mistakes, imperfections, knowledge gaps and limitations.Since shy people have a lower sensitivity to outside

40、 rewards than outgoing ones, they're more comfortable working with little information and sticking to their inner desires. Shy people are also more likely to insist on finding solutions that aren't primarily apparent. Don't believe me? Maybe you'll believe Albert Einstein, who once s

41、aid, "It's not that I'm so smart, it's that I stay with problems longer." Obviously, finding certainty where uncertainty is typically popular is a huge plus for any successful person.The myth that shy people are less effective leaders than their outgoing fellows is just a misun

42、derstanding. Make wise use of your personality strengths to lead your business no matter what side of the range you fall on.32. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that _.A. shy people are sensitive to rewardsB. shy people care more about contentC. outgoing people are more careful about chancesD. outgoing

43、 people consider what to learn while listening33. The example of Johnny shows _.A. shy people are likely to be modestB. hardworking students speak little in publicC. some students keep silent on purpose at schoolD. shy people may have an advantage in discussion34.

44、ntence in Paragraph 5 that _.A. success results from devotionB. shyness contributes to popularityC. outside reward leads to insistenceD. uncertainty counts more than certainty35. The author supports his ideas mainly by _.A. giving definitions and presenting research resultsB. explaining problems and

45、 providing solutionsC. quoting authorities and making evaluationsD. making contrasts and giving examples第二節(jié)（共5小題，每小題2分，滿分10分） 根據短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。How to Improve Your Reading ComprehensionAre you trying to read a book and have no idea when a character appeared and became the most
