The brain, which weighs less than 2.2 pounds, is perhaps the most complicated organ in our bodies. Although scientists have not been able to solve all the mysteries of this amazing organ, they have made some progress. They have found that certain parts of the brain are responsible for learning, memory, and language. Recent studies indicate that the two halves of the brain—the right hemisphere and the left hemisphere—play extremely important roles in learning and communicating. The left hemisphere deals with rules, lists of information, and short-term memory. In contrast, the right hemisphere deals with feelings, colors, and long-term memory. Scientists recognize the importance of both hemispheres in the learning of all sorts, including language learning. Scientists now relate left and right hemispheres to the way different individuals learn languages. They believe that some learners use one half of their brains more than the other half. Left-brained learners usually concentrate on memorizing les and lists. They use logic, definition, and repetition to learn. Right-brained learners look for a general picture and concentrate on relating new information to what they already know. They use associations and intuition to learn. Most people fall into one of these types. If teachers know whether their students are left-brained or right-brained, they can help them learn better. 11. Mary is a typical left-brained learner. Which of the following descriptions does NOT fit her? (A) She thinks in a very logical way. (B) She is very artistic and romantic. (C) She often scores A in sentence-combining tests. (D) She is very good at math. 12. What is the most significant implication that teachers can draw from the above information? They should _________ (A) encourage students to memorize rules (B) show students how to use logic to solve problems (C) urge students to relate new information to what they already know (D) try to find out the best learning styles for individual students 13. Which of the following statements is TRUE? (A) Damage of one hemisphere does not always cause complete loss of speech. (B) Remembering one's way home involves short-term memory. (C) Language learning takes place only in one hemisphere. (D) Scientists have solved all the mysteries of the brain. 14. What is the best title of this passage? (A) The Short-term and Long-term Memory (B) Discoveries in the Field of Hemispheres (C) A Recent Scientific Discovery (D) The Amazing Human Brain 四、篇章結構

Do you know the meaning of the word “relationship”? Here is an easy way of understanding it. Whenever two people come together, even for a brief moment, they exchange looks, feelings, thoughts, ideas, and energy. Their relationship is how they interact with each other. Everything that happens in the world happens through relationships. We human beings need to love and be loved, and this will come from our relationship with others. Accordingly, anyone who wishes to love and be loved will want to establish lasting relationships. Here are a few tips to help us create enduring relationships. First, know our steps. The relationship between two people is like the art of dancing. Before we can dance with a partner, we need to be able to dance by ourselves. We need to feel the rhythm of the music, hear how it inspires us to move and learn our unique style of movement and expression. Second, trust. As the key building block for enduring relationships, trust is a bond that evolves as two persons get to know each other and experience safety in opening their hearts. Trust develops when we respect each other’s needs and develop a history of common experience and caring. Third, be intimate. While intimacy is often limited to the sexual bond, we can be intimate with many people without sexuality. That is, by relating heart to heart. We need to be seen and known by another person. In this way, intimacy enables us to thrive and grow. Lastly, treat relationship as an organism. A new relationship is like an embryo that requires time, care and attention to grow into whatever may evolve. In our proper relationship with others, we will be known and seen for who we are, and love will come out of the seeing and the knowing. 11. The author writes the above passage chiefly to . (A) encourage readers to build blocks for intimacy (B) tell readers that things happen through feelings (C) help readers establish sound relationships (D) urge readers to become expert dancers 12. The word tips in the second paragraph refers to . (A) fees (B) services (C) limitations (D) suggestions 13. According to the passage, which of the following is true? (A) Intimacy is limited to the sexual bond. (B) “Trust” blocks the way to durable relationships. (C) If you do not dance, you cannot establish relationships. (D) Exposure of one’s inner thoughts is essential for enduring relationships. 14. The love we desire will come from all of the following EXCEPT . (A) being fond of the embryo (B) interacting with people (C) trusting our friends (D) being intimate with others Day 13

Medvedev Vladimir, 43, and his son, Maxsine, 14, sailed from an unnamed eastern Russian seaport on August 18, to begin an ambitious around-the-world cruise. Their voyage, down the coastline of northeastern mainland China, through the East China Sea, then down the Taiwan Strait and into the South China Sea, had been smooth until four days ago when the mainsail of their twin-mast sailboat “Kawasaki” was smashed by strong winds on the high seas. The father-and-son team started the inboard engine. However, after less than two days, the engine broke down. Near the “black ditch” of Penghu, battered by winds of up to 70 knots, the rear sail was torn into shreds. The rudder also stopped responding. Surprised by the father and son’s “pale faces” and their battered vessel, the Penghu police and fishers in Paisha rescued them. Speaking only limited English, the Vladimirs spent five hours trying to explain their presence. It is not immediately known whether the “Kawasaki” can be repaired on the fishing island of Penghu, or when the Vladimirs will be able to set off again and continue their around-the-world voyage.

The new structure will be 200 meters high, 100 meters shorter than the cast-iron Eiffel Tower built 100 years ago. It will be made of timber as an ecological symbol of “the right to a dignified life on a protected Earth,” said architects Normier, Henni and Lelievre, who were also responsible for the Europe section at the Seville exhibition. The tower, of pinewood, will be built on eight pillars and will be topped with a flower of five metal petals of 700 square meters each. The structure, to be erected in the redeveloped areas of the capital’s 13th district, will cost 250 million francs (US$42 million). Tiberi also said that Paris would be placed under the sign of the lights of “culture and life” and “intelligence.” “If, in 1900, Paris was consecrated the ‘city of light’, it will become the ‘capital of light’ for the millennium,” Tiberi said. The mayor said new buildings would be illuminated, notably along the banks of the Seine, which would become a luminous strip, while Notre Dame Cathedral would be lit from the inside to show off its stained glass windows. A laser clock would be installed on top of the Arc de Triomphe at the top of the Champs Elysees and three laser beams would pick out the hands showing the hours, minutes and seconds in the millennium countdown, Tiberi said. A giant egg-timer will be set up in the Place de la Concorde and its sand will begin running after a solar eclipse scheduled on April 11, 1999. 16. Why is Paris building a new Eiffel Tower? (A) The old Eiffel Tower must be torn down. (B) The old iron Eiffel Tower needs to be re-built with wood. (C) The tower is built to celebrate the Seville exhibition.

One of the most unusual graduation speakers of the 1983 commencement season was not a person at all. The speaker was Robot Redford, a robot who delivered the commencement address at a community college in suburban Maryland. The speaker, carefully programmed, arrived on the stage under its own power and proceeded to tell the audience of 658 graduates, their families, and friends that they would have to learn to work with robots and technology to solve society’s problems. The robot described itself as an extension of a person to help humans increase the workload. Although this particular robot can be programmed to speak, the voice heard wasn’t that of the robot, because it was feared that the robot’s voice was not loud enough to carry throughout the hall. An amplified voice of a human was used instead, while the listeners watched the robot. Robot Redford was followed by a person, William Bakaleinikoff, who spoke about the need for cooperation between people and technology. Mr. Bakaleinikoff’s experience with his topic included the fact that he had created Robot Redford and had provided the voice for the robot’s words to the graduates. There was quite a bit of controversy over the choice of a robot as a commencement speaker. Some students thought it was insensitive and degrading to use a robot. Others thought the idea was clever and innovative. “I’ll never forget this speech,” said one graduate. “You forget a political leader, but you won’t forget a robot.” 11. Robot Redford’s speech was discussed in this article mainly because . (A) it was political (B) it was psychological (C) it was controversial (D) it was insensitive
(A) Robot Redford was a talking machine. (B) Robot Redford walked to the stage by itself. (C) Robot Redford made a graduation speech in 1983. (D) Robot Redford graduated from a college in Maryland.
(A) A robot was designed to let humans decrease their productivity. (B) Robot Redford was the brainchild of William Bakaleinikoff. (C) Everybody in the commencement was pleased with the arrangement. (D) Robot Redford’s speech was too difficult to understand.
There is scarcely anyone who hasn’t heard the proverb, “No pains, no gains.” __14__. At first sight this may seem to be not quite true; for we think of examples of people who have gained much very easily. A man who happens to have been born the son of a millionaire will inherit great wealth on the death of his father, without any effort on his part; moreover, people sometimes win a large sum of money in a lottery without the slightest effort. __15__. For most people it remains true that success can be won only at the cost of hard work. Without hard work, nothing can be gained. __16__. Only when we can work hard and fight against any difficulties that lie ahead will we get what we have expected, whether it is honor, riches, or our daily necessities. ___17__ that the butterfly can’t survive the severe winter, as can the bee, simply because the former doesn’t labor for her future. ____18___.
