Crop circles first appeared in the fields of southern England in the mid-1970s. Early circles were not 26 , but simply appeared, overnight, in fields of wheat, rape, oat, and barley. The crops are flattened, the stalks bent but not 27 . Wiltshire County is the acknowledged center of the phenomenon. The county is home to some of the most sacred Neolithic sites in Europe, built as far back as 4,600 years ago, 28 Stonehenge, Avebury, Silbury Hill, and burial grounds such as West Kennet Long Barrow. As the crop circle phenomenon gained momentum, formations have also been 29 in Australia, South Africa, China, Russia, and many other countries, 30 in close proximity to ancient sacred sites. Still, each year more than a hundred formations appear in the fields of
southern England.
In 1991, Doug Bower and Dave Chorley came forward and claimed 31 for the crop circles over the past 20 years or so, and the battle between artists and other-world believers was 32 . “I think Doug Bower is the greatest artist of the 20th century,” said John Lundberg, a graphic design artist, Web site creator, and acknowledged circle maker. Bower’s work has the earmarks of all new art forms, “pushing boundaries, opening new doors, working outside of the established 33 ,” Lundberg continued. His group, known as the Circlemakers, considers their practice an art. Lundberg estimates that there are three or four 34 crop circle art groups operating in the United Kingdom today, and numerous other small groups that make one or two circles a year more or less as a lark. Circlemakers now does quite a bit of 35 work for profit; in early July, the group created a giant crop formation 140 feet (46 meters) in diameter for the History Channel. But they also still do covert work in the dead of night.

Dancer and choreographer, Martha Graham was regarded as one of the foremost pioneers of modern dance, whose influence on dance can be compared to the influence Stravinsky had on music or Picasso had on the visual arts. 36 She invented a new language of movement, and used it to reveal the passion, the rage and the ecstasy common to human experience. She danced and choreographed for over seventy years, and was the first dancer ever to perform at The White House, the first dancer ever to travel abroad as a cultural ambassador, and the first dancer ever to receive the highest civilian award of the USA: the Medal of Freedom.
37 Graham started her career at an age that was considered late for a dancer. By the late 1960s, she was still dancing and turned increasingly to alcohol to soothe her own despair at her declining body. A younger generation who had heard of her legend went
to her later performances and were confused about what all the fuss was about. 38 I the end, when the chorus of critics grew too loud, Graham finally left the stage.
n
In the years that followed her departure from the stage Graham sank into a deep depression and she abused alcohol to numb her pain. In her autobiography Blood Memory she wrote:
[When I stopped dancing] I had lost my will to live. I stayed home alone, ate very little, and drank too much and brooded. My face was ruined, and people say I looked odd, which I agreed with. 39 I was in the hospital for a long time, much of it in a coma.
To the delight and surprise of her fans, Graham not only survived her hospital stay but she rallied. In 1972 she quit drinking, returned to her studio, reorganized her company and went on to choreograph ten new ballets and many revivals. 40 Graham
choreographed until her death from pneumonia in 1991 at the age of 96. In 1998, Time listed her as the “Dancer of the Century” and as one of the most important people of the 20th century.
(A) Her last completed ballet was 1990's Maple Leaf Rag.
(B) Graham was a choreographer of astounding productivity and originality.
(C) At first, Graham’s love of dance was so profound that she refused to leave the stage despite criticism which said she was past her prime.
(D) Finally my system just gave in.
(E) However, her dance career was not always a bed of roses.
第四大題：閱讀測驗 30% (每題 2 分) 第 41 至 43 題為題組
The people of Peru are proud of their Indian past. Walls built by the Incas still stand in and around the city of Cuzco. Peruvians—and tourists from many places—visit Cuzco to study the past. At Cuzco, people board a small train that chugs its way through the Andes
Mountains to a city that had been lost for centuries.
That city is called Machu Picchu. Many believe that when the Spanish invaders destroyed Cuzco in the 1530’s, the Incas who remained fled to this hideaway in the mountains. They spent the rest of their lives “lost” to the outside world. The people of Machu Picchu eventually died out. Over the centuries, the village’s thatched roofs collapsed. Vines climbed over the stone walls and hid them from view.
In 1911, a young explorer, Hiram Bingham, decided to investigate stories of a “lost city” of the Incas. He led an expedition from Cuzco into the mountains. At the top of one mountain, the group stumbled upon strange stones covered by brush. “It was hard to see them,” Bingham wrote, “for they were partly covered with trees and moss.” The explorers chopped away the tangled growth and hauled out the dirt of centuries. At last, they uncovered the city.
41. The writer’s main purpose is to __________. (A) praise the achievements of the Incas (B) protest the Spanish invasion of Cuzco (C) promote a trip to Machu Picchu
(D) describe the discovery of Machu Picchu
42. Machu Picchu had been hidden for centuries by _______.
(A) lava (B) vines and brush (C) a mountain (D) fog 43. According to the passage, why were there no successful trips to Machu Picchu before
Bingham’s?
(A) The city was completely destroyed. (B) The city was hard to find.
(C) No one believed the city existed. (D) No one was interested in Machu Picchu.

In early December, the world’s attention turned to Bali, Indonesia, as leaders and scientists from around the world met on the island to discuss the earth’s environment at the 2007 United Nations Climate Change Conference.
More than 10,000 people gathered in Bali for two weeks of speeches and discussions about the world’s climate. Reports have shown that it is now possible to slow down global warming. However, these reports have also stated that action must be taken soon to deal with this problem.
第 48 至 51 題為題組 didn’t agree with the idea that cuts in greenhouse gas emissions should be required. In the
past, the U.S. refused to sign the Kyoto Protocol for this reason. It was also afraid that this agreement would be bad for its companies.
However, at the final meeting of the conference, an agreement was reached to start talks on a new agreement to replace the Kyoto Protocol when it ends in 2012. Experts say that a new agreement on global warming must be ready by 2009, in order to have it in place in time by 2012.
The Bali Conference also included a speech by former U.S. vice president Al Gore. Gore appeared at the meeting a day after winning the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in fighting climate change. An Inconvenient Truth, a film about global warming starring Gore, won an Academy Award earlier in 2007 and brought the world’s attention to this problem. Another important announcement at the conference was the news that Kevin Rudd, the new leader of Australia, would sign the Kyoto Protocol after he took office.
Now one knows who first discovered glass or how it was discovered. Early humans used obsidian, a natural glass formed by volcanoes, to make tools and jewelry. People probably began making glass themselves around 3000 B.C. in Syria. Then, in a war between Egypt and Syria in 1400 B.C., Syria became part of Egypt. The Egyptians took Syrian glassmakers back to Egypt, and over the centuries the entire eastern Mediterranean area became a glassmaking center.
Probably around 300 B.C. the blowpipe was invented. Egyptian glassmakers developed the use of the blowpipe and began forming liquid glass into beautiful shapes. They specialized in jewelry, dishes, bottles, and other containers. Egyptian glass became so famous that in 26 B.C. the Roman Emperor August announced that Egypt had to pay its taxes to Rome with glass.
The Romans started making their own glass. Then they realized that glass could be used to make windows. A few centuries later, Europeans made magnificent church windows from colored glass.
44. Which of the following is the purpose of the Bali conference?
(A) To increase greenhouse gas emissions. Slowly methods of glassmaking improved, and glassmakers were able to lower prices. Nevertheless, until about 1900 A.D. glass was still made in the traditional ways with very few changes.
(B) To give Al Gore the Nobel Peace Prize.
(C) To make all the nations around the world sign the Kyoto Protocol.
(D) To discuss the earth’s environment and climate change. Since 1900, companies have developed many new types of glass. Safety glass is sandwich of glass and plastic. If it breaks, the pieces stay together instead of flying in all directions. This invention is very useful in automobile windows. One kind of glass stops most of the heat from the sun. It is widely used in buildings. Another kind of glass is like a mirror on one side. On the other side, it’s like a window.
45. About the US’s attitude toward global warming, which of the following is TRUE? (A) The US didn’t agree to make a new agreement to replace the Kyoto Protocol. (B) The US was afraid that the Kyoto Protocol might be bad for its companies. (C) The US claimed that it is not possible to slow down global warming.
(D) The US didn’t take part in the 2007 United Nations Climate Change Conference. Today most glass is made by machines in large factories. No one touches it. People use television and computers to control the machines. Nevertheless, a few glassblowers still take pleasure in making glass the traditional way. They make beautiful bottles, containers, and jewelry just as the Egyptians did.
46. Which of the following is NOT the reason that Al Gore was mentioned in the article? (A) He was the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.
(B) He participated in the conference.
(C) He was the vice president of the US in 2008.
(D) He made great efforts in fighting climate change. 48. What is the article mainly about?
47. According to the article, which two nations haven’t signed the Kyoto Protocol? (A) Methods of making glass. (B) The history of glass. (A) The US and Indonesia. (B) Indonesia and Australia. (C) How ancient peoples learned to make glass. (D) Types of modern glass. (C) The US and Japan. (D) The US and Australia. 49. A method of making glass was probably first discovered in _______.
(A) Rome (B) Syria (C) Egypt (D) Europe 50. Glass windows were invented by _______.
(A) Syrians (B) Europeans (C) Romans (D) Egyptians different.
51. Glassmaking methods did not change much until _______. (B) Readers should be critical enough in the beginning of reading to get more valuable messages.
(A) Europeans made church windows (B) Egyptians began making glass
(C) Romans invented windows (D) the 20th century (C) Reading a long novel and building a house are not alike at all.
(D) Readers had better try to write themselves to realize what authors think about.
第 52 至 55 題為題組 54. The word “dictate” probably means .
It is simple enough to say that since books have classes—fiction, biography,
poetry—we should separate them and take from each what is right that each should give us. Yet few people ask from books what books can give us. Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds, asking of fiction that it shall be true, of poetry that it shall be false, of biography that it shall be flattering, of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices. If we could banish all such preconceptions when we read, that would be an admirable beginning. Do not dictate to your author; try to become him. Be his fellow worker and accomplice. If you hang back, and reserve, and criticize at first, you are preventing yourself from getting the fullest possible value from what you read. But if you open your mind as widely as possible, then signs and hints of almost imperceptible fineness, from the twist and turn of the first sentences, will bring you into the presence of a human being unlike any other. Steep yourself in this, acquaint yourself with this, and soon you will find that your author is giving you, or attempting to give you, something far more definite. The thirty-two chapters of a novel—if we consider how to read a novel first—are an attempt to make something as formed and controlled as a building: but words are more impalpable than bricks; reading is a longer and more complicated process than seeing. Perhaps the quickest way to understand the elements of what a novelist is doing is not to read, but to write, to make your own experiment with the dangers and difficulties of words. Recall, then, some event that has left a distinct impression on you—how at the corner of the street, perhaps, you passed two people talking. A tree shook; an electric light danced; the tone of the talk was comic, but also tragic; a whole vision, an entire conception, seemed contained in that moment.
(A) to tell someone how he must behave (B) to say words for someone else to write down (C) to notice or discover something
(D) to be fascinated by
55. What can be inferred from this passage?
(A) Readers should always hold certain expectations of the books they are going to read.
(B) After getting rid of preconceptions, readers will come to realize that the author gives them a vague idea.
(C) Most readers tend to be limited to the horizons of their reading before taking a reading journey.
(D) In order to be a good reader, the only thing one has to do is read as much as he can.
