All the children who had gathered at one particular stall (小房間) could paint a square. Later the squares would be sewn together to make a quilt. The quilt would be presented to a man who had devoted his life to the organization and would soon be retiring. The kids were given paints in bright colors and asked to paint something that would make the quilt beautiful. As I looked around at all the squares, I saw pink hearts and blue clouds, orange sunrises and green and purple flowers. The pictures were all bright, positive and uplifting (令人振奮的). All except one. One boy was painting a heart, but it was dark, empty and lifeless. It lacked the vibrant (明亮的) colors that his fellow artists had used.When I asked him about it, he said the heart was that color because his own heart felt black. He told me that he was very sick, and his mom was very sick too. He said that his sickness was not ever going to get better and neither was his moms. He looked straight into my eyes and said: “There is nothingu anyone can do to help.”I told him I was sorry and I could understand why he had made his heart a dark color. I told him that even though we couldnt make him or his mom better, we can give hugs, which can really help when you are feeling sad. I told him that if he would like, I would be happy to give him one so he could see what I meant. He crawled into my lap. I thought my own heart would burst for this sweet little boy.He sat there for a long time. Finally he jumped down to finish his coloring.As I was getting ready to head home, I felt a tug (猛拽) on my jacket. Standing there with a smile on his face was the little boy. He said: “My heart is changing color. It is getting brighter. I think those hugs really do work.”O(jiān)n my way home I felt my own heart. It too had changed to a brighter color.36. The children who gathered there could .A. make a quilt to thank God B. make donations to an organizationC. paint pictures to put on the wall D. paint pictures for a quilt37. The boy painted his picture black because .A. he didnt like bright colors B. he wanted to express his sad feelingsC. he couldnt find any other colors D. his heart had turned black due to his sickness38. What was the effect of the authors hug on the boy?A. He was cheered up. B. It gave him hope of becoming an artist.C. He learned the importance of hugs. D. He learned to use bright colors in his painting.39. The story is intended to tell readers that .A. hugs help children who lack loveB. children are lovely and bring people joyC. giving love to others can make a person happyD. children with AIDS need to be independent.BSomething landed in my e-mail inbox this year that filled me with horror. It wasnt a virus. It was a little dancing snowman. The friend who had sent it had written “Merry Christmas, everyone!” at the bottom. I love the Internet. I would post on someones micro blog to say “happy birthday”. I would send an e-mail congratulating someone on his or her new job. But Christmas e-cards? No way. There are some things you just dont do via (通過) e-mail. I would always handwrite letters to say “thank you” to someone for having me stay at their house, for example, or to express my sadness if someone had died. Sitting down with a pile of at least 50 Christmas cards every year is part of that whole “Christmas spirit” tradition. It shows you can be bothered to actually put pen to paper, buy a stamp, and post a letter. But cards play even more of a special role at Christmas. At home, my family has special card display frames (框架) for our Christmas cards, and we hang red and green ribbon (彩帶) across the tops of doors and drape (懸掛) cards over them. Along with the tree, the candles and the tinsel (閃閃發(fā)亮的小裝飾品), cards become Christmas decorations. At the end of the holiday, my grandma and I sit together and cut away the pictures from the front of the cards to use as labels for presents next year. Most importantly, theres the fun of remembering the people youre writing to. Each year Ill sit down with my address book. With each “Dear so-and-so” that I write, I remember the good times I spent with that person. More often than not, Ill let them know what Ive been doing this year, before ending with: “We really must meet up some time.” Would this happen if I just selected their e-mail from my contacts list?40. Why was the author horrified at what she found in her email inbox?A. She thought her friend must have sent the same e-mail to many.B. She thought it was too early for a Christmas card.C. She considered it silly to send a dancing snowman.D. She couldnt believe someone would send Christmas wishes in an e-card.41. What does the author usually do via email?A. Say happy birthday to friends. B. Write thank-you letters to friends.C. Express sadness when someone dies. D. Say sorry for being late for an appointment.42. What does the authors family usually do with cards they receive at Christmas?A. Put them in a pile of at least 50 cards. B. Hang them on the Christmas tree.C. Display them in frames and on ribbons. D. Store them in a special box.43. What is the most important reason why the author writes Christmas cards?A. It is part of the Christmas spirit. B. It is fun to choose which friends will receive cards.C. It is her family tradition. D. It is a good way of renewing a friendship. CAnyone for kimchi (韓國泡菜)? Around 2,000 women made the traditional dish last week in Seoul, the capital of the Republic of Korea (ROK). More than 270 tons of kimchi were produced and handed out to needy neighbors.In the ROK, kimchi is more than a dish to be eaten with every meal, even though Koreans are said to eat about 40 pounds (around 18kg) of kimchi per person each year.According to , the countrys official multilingual (多語種的) website, kimchi represents “the spirit” of the Koreans.Kimchi traditionally has a rosy color. K says: “The color red wards off (避開) evil spirits. The color represents the spirit of the Korean people and kimchi is more than just a food. Its a culture.”A meal without kimchi is unthinkable. So what is kimchi?Joan Raymond, food writer for US website , writes: “Its a reddish (淡紅色的), fermented (發(fā)酵的) cabbage dish (and sometimes radish (小蘿卜) dish), made with a mix of garlic (大蒜), salt, vinegar, chili peppers and other spices (香料).It is served at every meal, either along with or mixed with rice and noodles. It is part of a high-fiber, low fat diet, which has kept obesity (肥胖) at bay.”Kimchi is used in everything from soups to pancakes and as a topping (配料) on pizza and burgers.H named kimchi in its list of the worlds top five healthiest foods as it is rich in vitamins, aids digestion (消化) and may even reduce the risk of cancer.A study conducted by Seoul National University claimed that chickens infected with the H5N1 virus (bird flu) recovered after eating food containing the same bacteria found in kimchi.When Koreans pose (擺姿勢) for photos, they say “kimchi”, instead of “cheese”.44. From the first two paragraphs, we can conclude that .A. kimchi is mostly eaten by poor families B. kimichi is usually made in winterC. kimichi is very common in ROK D. every Korean woman knows how to make kimchi45.

Kimchi and what it means to Koreans. D. The nutritional value of kimchi.DThe Namib Desert in Africa is one of the driest places on earth. With half an inch of rain falling every year, humans can hardly survive there for a week with no water. But the Namib beetle (甲蟲) does just fine. It collects morning dew (露水) that condenses (凝結(jié)) on its back.Inspired by this little creature, 27-year-old Edward Linacre, a former student from Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia, has designed a new “Airdrop” irrigation system which can pull water from even the driest desert air. His invention has won the 2011 James Dyson Award, an international design award. Hopes are high that the system will be able to solve the problems of growing plants on dry land, according to the Daily Mail.Linacre studied the Namib beetle and found that it had hydrophilic (吸水的) skin on its back, which helped catch water molecules (分子) passing in the air. These water molecules accumulated into small drops of liquid water. He realized that as long as the air temperature was low enough, even the driest air contains water molecules that can be extracted (提取).Following this principle, he designed the new system which works by pumping air through a network of underground pipes to cool it to the point at which water condenses. The water is then delivered directly to the roots of plants.According to the research, about 11.5 milliliters of water could be collected from every cubic (立方) meter of air in the driest desert. Further development could raise that number even higher.The idea of getting water from the air is not new. However, the Airdrop has certain advantages compared with its competitors. Similar systems often require great amounts of energy because they use refrigeration (冷卻) equipment to lower the temperature. But Airdrop simply uses the temperature difference between the air and the cool earth underground.This clever biomimicry (仿生學(xué)) system could provide regular watering to plants being grown in the worlds driest places. “Biomimicry is a powerful weapon in an engineers armory (軍械庫),” said James Dyson. “Airdrop shows how simple, natural principles like the condensation of water can be applied to good effect through skilled design and robust (強(qiáng)健的) engineering.”48. What is the article mainly about?A. How the Namib beetle survives in the Namib Desert.B. How the “Airdrop” irrigation system was designed and how it works.C. How the “Airdrop” irrigation system has benefited the humans.D. How biomimicry helps researchers in scientific research.49. According to the article, the “Airdrop” irrigation system .A. was inspired by the Namib beetle B. is practical only in very cold regionsC. has been used to help plants grow on dry land D. works by pumping cold air directly to the roots of plants50. By saying “Biomimicry is a powerful weapon in an engineers armory”, James Dyson meansthat .A. biomimicry can help engineers invent powerful weaponsB. biomimicry can offer engineers a lot of inspiration for new inventionsC. biomimicry is the most promising field for engineers to exploreD. some simple and natural principles are easily ignored by engineers四、單詞拼寫 （共10小題；每小題0.5分，滿分5分）51.
