Dumas’s two most famous stories, The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo, have inspired more than 100 films. His 1848 novel, The Man in the Iron Mask, was recently made into a movie. In this movie, Leonardo DiCaprio played both King Louis XIV and his twin brother Philippe. Few people know, however, that the author was the grandson of a Haitian slave. Even fewer people know that Dumas’ father rose rapidly from a soldier to a general in the French Army before he was 31. The general died young, leaving Alexander penniless. But Dumas overcame poverty, the lack of formal education, and the hardship of racism to become one of the world’s most popular writers. Dumas’s life sometimes was just like his action novels. He participated in three revolutions and fought with people when he was insulted. After making a fortune by writing novels, he built a mansion outside Paris and kept it open to starving artists, friends, and even strangers. Luckily for his fans, the mansion has recently been restored and opened to the public. 16. Which of the following statements about Alexander Dumas is FALSE? (A) He was a victim of racism.

But as the volcano continues to burble, and gases that were once dissolved in magma deep within the Earth are released as vapor and carried on the wind, scientists are watching for possible changes in the weather and, more controversially, the wider climate. Reports indicate that the Iceland eruption, while relatively small, has sent its plume high enough into the atmosphere to reach the fast-moving winds that can spread it around the globe. That vapor typically contains a great deal of water, followed by carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide. Although meteorologists were predicting minor effects on the weather, if any, one thing a plume of volcano vapor can do is deflect sunlight. Sulfur dioxide molecules turn to aerosols high in the stratosphere, creating a white haze that reflects sunlight. The effect is less heat and a drop in temperatures. The aerosols break down and dissipate over a time-scale measured in months, so the effect is generally localized and temporary. When Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines erupted in 1991, this effect was said to have cooled global temperatures over the next year, which inspired speculation about artificially pumping sulfur into the stratosphere as part of a “geo-engineering” effort to counteract global warming. Volcanoes are also frequently mentioned as a driver of a long-term global warming, because they emit the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, although not as much as human industry. That leaves a cool summer as the likeliest possible legacy of the Iceland eruption.
12. The Icelandic eruption had an effect on numerous aspects Except _____. (A) political system (B) health (C) air travel (D) climate 13. According to this article, how does volcanic activity help halt global warming? (A) The eruption can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. (B) The plume of volcano vapor can bend sunlight. (C) Sulfur dioxide can absorb carbon dioxide in the atomposphere. (D) The ash clouds can shade the earth from the sun. Day 29

三、閱讀測驗： Sometimes the real world can be a confusing place. It is not always fair or kind. And in the real world there are not always happy endings. That is why, every once in a while, we like to escape into the world of fantasy—a place where things always go our way and there is always a happy ending. We want to believe in fantastic creatures in imaginary lands. We want to believe in magic powers, good friends, and the power of good to overcome evil. We all fantasize about being able to fly and lift buildings off the ground. And how good a magic sword would feel in our hand as we go off to kill a dragon or win the hand of a beautiful princess. The amazing adventures of Superman, Peter Pan, and Harry Potter have charmed many people, children and adults alike. The main reason is that these stories offer us chances to get away from this real, frustrating world and allow us to find some magical solutions to our problems. For example, Superman always arrives in the nick of time to prevent a disaster from happening, Peter Pan can fly at will to tease the bad guy Captain Hook, and Harry Potter has his magic power to take revenge on his uncle, aunt and cousin, who always ill-treat him. 16. People enter the world of fantasy for the following reasons EXCEPT that . (A) the world of fantasy frightens us (B) the real world is often disappointing (C) we can find happy endings there (D) we can always have our wishes fulfilled
(A) the bad guys always have the upper hand (B) they end up getting married to beautiful princesses (C) their solutions are anything but magical (D) they possess powers that ordinary people don’t have 18.

In terms of a money-making move, __2__ The tax increases comes at a time when the French government is examining ways to raise money and cut costs in order to retain its triple-A credit rating. __3__ Meanwhile, the tariff is also meant to help curb obesity although some people question if an extra one euro cent per can will really have that effect. The tax applies to drinks sold in France that contain added sugar. ___4__ In response to the move, the Coca-Cola Company, which makes huge profits from selling sugary drinks, is vehemently opposed to the soda tax. __5__ As a sign of its displeasure, Coca-Cola announced it was canceling a 17-million-euro investment it had planned for a plant in southern France. Whether France’s decision will have further financial repercussions like this and whether or not the tax will help reduce the size of its citizens’ waistlines still remain to be seen.
