第一篇答案：ADADB
第二篇答案：ADACD
【高中英語閱讀理解】
Passage 1
答案：CDCDB
這里要講述Andrew Jackson 和Martin Van Buren這2屆美國總統的小故事。這2個小故事也許可以解釋美語中OK一詞的來歷。故事的真實性我們不得而知，不過內容卻很有意思。
第一個解釋來源於總統Andrew Jackson的故事。Andrew Jackson幾乎沒有受到過什麼教育，事實上，他對於日常的讀寫都有困難。當收到重要文件的時候，在嘗試閱讀之後，還是讓他的助手幫忙解釋文件的內容。如果批准一份文件，Andrew Jackson就在上面寫“all correct”。麻煩的是，他不知道怎麼這2個單詞怎麼拼寫，因此，實際上他在文件上寫的是“ol korekt”。過了不久，他又把這2個單詞縮寫為“OK”。
第二個解釋來源於總統Martin Van Buren的家鄉的名字——紐約的Kinderhook。為了幫助Van Buren成為總統，他的朋友為此組織了一個社團。他們把這個社團叫做Old Kinderhook Club，社團中支持Van Buren的人都被稱為“OK”
Passage 2
答案：CCABC
盡管美國幅員遼闊，而且土地所產出的糧食遠遠超過現有人口的需求，現今的美國卻幾乎完全是個都市化的國家。不足十分之一的人口在從事農業和林業，而剩餘的大多數人都居住在大大小小的城鎮中或者城鎮的周圍。傳統的'景象在這里不斷發生著變化：小的城鎮之間仍然彼此十分相似，典型的小城鎮還是呈現出大家心目中的鄉村的風貌;但是大部分的美國人卻不再住在小城鎮了。現在半數的人口都在大約30幾個大都市地區(包括附近郊區的大型城市)——這種大都市地區的人口都在百萬以上，總的都市人口數量遠遠超過德國和英國，更不用說法國了。城市和鄉村的人口統計需要特別對待，因為我們所謂的住在鄉村的人們，每天都會開車前往附近的城鎮工作。當遠離城鎮居住的熱潮持續的情況下，城鎮周圍的鄉村地區逐漸蓋滿了房屋。那麼說不定什麼時候，一塊鄉村的地區就變成了城市的郊區。不過，典型的美國人還是越來越趨向於居住在大都市而不是小城鎮的環境中。

第一篇：My father
My father, at the death of his father, was six years old, and he grew up without ecation. He moved from Kentucky to Indiana when I was seven. We reached our new home about the time the state came into the Union. It was a wild area, with many bears and other wild animals still in the woods. I grew up there. There were some so-called schools, but what was required of a teacher never went beyond “reading, writing, and adding.” If a stranger supposed to understand Latin happened to live for a time in the area, he was looked on as wizard (奇才). There was simply nothing to excite a desire for ecation. Of course, when I grew up, I did not know much. Still, somehow, I could read, write, and add, but that was all. The advance I have now made is on this store of ecation, which I have picked up under the pressure of necessity.

第二篇：Tarawa
Tarawa is one of the two largest of the Gilbert Islands in the western Pacific Ocean, but it is a very tiny island, with an area of about eight square miles, and a population of about 17,000. Small as it is, three nations fought to control and use it as an air base ring World War II. The Japanese took it from the British in 1941, only to lose it to the Americans tow years later after one of the bloodiest (血腥的) battles of the war.

第三篇：The flying fox
The flying fox is not a fox at all. It is an extra large bat that has got a fox’s head, and that feeds on fruit instead of insects (昆蟲). Like all bats, flying foxes hang themselves by their toes when at rest, and travel in great crowds when out flying. A group will live in one spot for years. Sometimes several hundred of them occupy (占據) a single tree. As they return to the tree toward sunrise, they quarrel among themselves and fight for the best places until long after daylight.
Flying foxes have babies once a year, giving birth to only one at a time. At first the mother has to carry the baby on her breast wherever she goes. Later she leaves it hanging up, and brings back food for it to eat. Sometimes a baby bat falls down to the ground and squeaks (尖叫) for help. Then the older ones swoop (俯沖) down and try to pick it up. If they fail to do so, it will die. Often hundreds of dead baby bats can be found lying on the ground at the foot of a tree.
1. The passage tells us that there is no difference between the flying fox and the ordinary bat in______.

閱讀理解：
Tell a story and tell it well, and you may open wide the eyes of a child, open up lines of communication in a business, or even open people’s mind to another culture or race.
People in many places are digging up the old folk stories and the messages in them. For example, most American storytellers get their tales from a wide variety of sources, cultures, and times. They regard storytelling not only as a useful tool in child ecation, but also as a meaningful activity that helps alts understand themselves as well as those whose culture may be very different from their own.
"Most local stories are based on a larger theme,” American storyteller Opalanga Pugh says, “ Cinderella(灰姑娘), or the central idea of a good child protected by her goodness, appears in various forms in almost every culture of the world.”
Working with students in schools, Pugh helps them understand their own cultures and the general messages of the stories. She works with prisoner too, helping them knowing who they are by telling stories that her listeners can write, direct, and act in their own lives. If they don’t like the story they are living, they can rewrite the story. Pugh also works to help open up lines of communication between managers and workers. “For every advance in business,” she says, “ there is a greater need for communication.” Storytelling can have a great effect on either side of the manager-worker relationship, she says.
Pugh spent several years in Nigeria, where she learned how closely storytelling was linked to the everyday life of the people there. The benefits of storytelling are found everywhere, she says.
“I learned how people used stories to spread their culture,” she says, “ What I do is to focus on the value of the stories that people can translate into their own daily world of affairs. We are all storytellers. We all have a story to tell. We tell everybody’s story.”
52. What do we learn about American storyteller from Paragraph 2?
A. They share the same way of storytelling.
B. They prefer to tell the stories from other cultures.

不要以貌取人
My new friend Jack is a fashion follower who often wears strange clothes and long hair. But my mother drove him away from our flat at the first sight yesterday. She thought he was a bad person, although she didn't know him at all.
However, mom totally changed her mind this morning. When we were walking down the street near our home, we witnessed an accident. A boy was hit by a car when he was walking across the road with headphones. Many people saw it, but at first no one knew how to help. Then someone rushed forwards and covered the boy with his coat to keep warm. He looked after him well until the ambulance came. It was Jack! His calmness and seasoned first aid skills moved mom. She went and apologized to Jack for her former attitute, and told him that he was always welcome to our home.
That gives me a lesson. The appearance may reflect one's interest, but it isn't the symbol of one's quality. We should never judge a book with its cover.
我的新朋友傑克是一個時尚追隨者，他經常穿奇怪的衣服，留著長頭發。但是我媽媽昨天第一次見到他的時候就開車送他離開。她認為他是一個壞人，雖然她根本不認識他。
然而，今天早上媽媽完全改變了她的想法。當我們走在我們家附近的大街上，我們目睹了一場意外事故。一個待著耳機男孩過馬路的時候被車撞了。很多人看到了，但一開始沒有人知道怎麼救人。然後有人跑上前，把自己的大衣蓋到男孩身上來保暖。他一直照顧男孩直到救護車來了。那是傑克!他的冷靜和豐富的急救經驗感動了媽媽。她為之前的態度向傑克道歉，並告訴他我們家總是歡迎他的到來。
這給我上了一課。外表可能會反映出一個人的興趣，但這並不是個人品質的象徵。我們永遠不應該以貌取人。
『捌』 高中英語任務型閱讀 題目Central bank may raise mortgage rate
The bank foreclosed (on the mortgage
是指銀行取消了（對該抵押品的）贖取權。這個例句出自牛津高階詞典。
下面是來自牛津高階和美國傳統詞典以及中國日報的解釋
~ (on sb/sth) (of a bank, etc that has lent money for a mortgage) take possession of the property of (sb), usu because repayments have not been made （指已放出抵押貸款的銀行等）取得（某人）的財產（通常因未償付貸款）:
The bank foreclosed (on the mortgage). 該銀行已取消（對該抵押品的）贖取權.
To deprive (a mortgagor) of the right to redeem mortgaged property, as when payments have not been made.
取消（抵押品的）贖回權：如當無法支付款項時，剝奪（分期付款者）收回抵押財產的權利
foreclosure就是指the legal proceedings initiated by a creditor to repossess the collateral for loan that is in default，「止贖權」，也稱「喪失抵押品贖回權」，我們在新聞里有時也會看到一棟棟小樓前豎立著寫著Foreclosure的牌子。對房地產來說，foreclosure指的是這樣一個過程：如果房主在一定時間內無法按時付出每月的貸款額，房屋將被貸款公司沒收，然後通過拍賣公司或房地產公司上市出售。當然，這樣的房子的售價要比市價更低一些。
Foreclosure是foreclose的名詞形式，foreclose做動詞表示「取消抵押品贖回權」，如：The building society will be forced to foreclose on this mortgage because regular payments have not been made.（由於沒有定期交納付款，住宅互助協會被迫取消這項抵押的贖取權。）此外，它還可以用來表示「排除，阻止或預先處理」。如：We won』t foreclose the prospect of a better future.（我們不會拿我們的未來開玩笑。）

It was a quiet village in which there was a military camp. It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around. Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers.

Once Mr. White was ill in bed. He couldn't work and a young officer, Mr. Hunt, began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr. Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening with the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back. It seemed they were all drunk. Of course they found the officer was angry.
"I'm sorry, sir," said the first soldier. "I left the town on time. But something was wrong with my bus on my way here. I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck! It died and I had to run back."
And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons. It was the last soldier's turn. He said, "I'm sorry, sir. I got on a bus on time, but…"
