（A） In many languages, certain animals seem to have 11 characteristics. As you’ll find in Chinese, swallows are traditionally seen as lucky signs, snakes

represent evil and danger, and cranes are 12 to symbolize long life. Similarly, animal imagery can be found in many English expressions.

For instance, “as quiet as a mouse” is commonly used to describe someone quiet. 13 , if a person makes a lot of noise, an elephant would be a good choice for a simile. What’s more, if a person uses “a white elephant” to describe a car, it means that the car is very expensive but useless. It will be a waste of money if you buy it. In addition to mice and elephants, some birds and insects are

commonly used in 14 expressions, too. A person who is “as proud as a

peacock” often gives others the impression that he or she is too proud of himself or herself.

（A）

We have good times and hard times. Sun or rain, it’s all part of life. When we face problems, we can’t help feeling down or angry. However, we can also make things better if we simply change our attitude. For example, flunking an exam may set you back, but at least you know where you can improve. It’s better to focus on studying harder and making gradual improvement than to try to master all the test material at once. Be patient and never give up. Also, if you lose your job and worry about how to support yourself, look at this as a chance to make some changes. Surely, you have to make both ends meet to survive. But the bright side is that you can use this time to learn some new skills, which may help you find an even better job. It may also be a good time to relax for a while, do some self-reflection and think of how to make yourself a better-qualified job seeker. Try looking on the bright side when something gets you down. Perhaps the problems may not all go away, but you’ll feel better and get things back on track within a shorter time.

31. According to the passage, when people face difficulty, it’s normal to _______.

(A)get upset (B)be happy (C)blame others (D)ask advice 32. Which advice is NOT suggested when you fail a class?

(A)Study harder.

(B)Master all the test material immediately.

(C)Make improvement little by little.

(D)Never give up.

33. What is the best title for this passage?

(A)“Look On the Bright Side” (B)“Things Set You Back”

The period of a child's life when he or she becomes an adult ─the teen years─ is a difficult time for many parents. As children get older it is natural for them to begin thinking about having a girlfriend or boyfriend. Whether parents like it or not, most teenagers will want to start dating sooner or later. In some cultures, dating in the teen years is a taboo. And in some cases their first ever 'date' is when they get married to someone that their parents have chosen. In the U.S. dating is generally considered to be an important part of growing up. Going on dates helps teens learn about friendship and love, as well as how to communicate with others and make decisions by themselves. Parents often worry about all the terrible things that might

(5)

happen on a date. However, studies have shown that dating actually helps teens become mature adults. Of course, parents need to make clear rules. The following is a typical list of basic dating rules: 1.No dating on a school night. 2. Be home before ten. 3. No alcohol or drugs. Some parents are much stricter than others. A father, for example, may not even allow his daughter to start dating until she goes to senior high school. How much freedom parents give their teenaged children to make their own decisions about dating often depends on the teens' age and maturity.

40. According to the passage, people who start dating as teenagers may ______.

(A)have a better sense of self-esteem (B)be more independent of their parents (C)be in and out of love many times

(D)develop better interrelationships with others

41. By setting dating rules for their teenaged children, parents can actually ______.

(A)reduce the possibility of generation gap (B)help their children become more mature (C)exert more authority over their children (D)protect their children from going astray 42. The best title for the passage could be "______."

(A)To Date or Not to Date?

(B)The Joy of Young Love

(C)Dating on the Path of Growth (D)The First Date

Music is a powerful thing. When played properly, some music can have positive efects on learning and attitude. One way that music can make learning easier is by teaching people abstract reasoning and learning strategies. When learning music, people visualize the task in their head, and therefore exercise the same abstract skills that engineers, chess players, and high-level mathematicians use. Moreover, instruction in music skills and appreciation provides a wealth of learning strategies that help to develop children’s analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating skills.

Another important aspect that music can have on learning for people of all ages is attitude. The highly repetitive structure of music helps children learn to trust

themselves and enhance their self-confidence and sense of accomplishment. Thus, their attitude toward learning is dramatically increased. In addition to increasing positive attitude, listening to pleasant music in the background may ease the strain of an activity. Notice that when people listen to music in the background, it is very important that they listen to the music they are familiar and comfortable with. So in order for music to help us think, learn, and work, we need to know what kind of music to listen to. 【95 統測】

43. According to the passage, which of the following functions of music is NOT mentioned?

(A)Helping people to relax. (B)Improving people’s attitude.

(A)people of all ages love diferent types of music

(B)it is important for us to teach children the right attitude (C)people of all ages develop diferent learning strategies (D)it is important for us to choose the right music to listen to
