部分解析
閱讀理解:
A篇 (自然)
本文是應用文。文章介紹了動物王國里四種模仿植物的高手。
21. B。詞義猜測題。根據第一段的full of surprises以及下文介紹四種動物的偽裝能力可知,此處是說一些動物的能力令人瞠目。
22. D。細節理解題。根據Ghost mantis的介紹most parts of their body look like leaves that have dried up可知,幽靈螳螂的身體大部分都像已經乾枯的葉子,故它們看起來很像落葉。
23. B。細節理解題。根據Green plant-
-hopper的介紹可知,綠飛虱又名魚雷蟲,它們休息時,綠色的翅膀蓋住身體,很像是傾斜的屋頂。由此可知選B項。
24. A。主旨大意題。本文介紹的四種動物都會模仿植物,以假亂真。
B 篇 (現代技術)
本文是說明文。文章是對人工智慧技術的相關介紹。
25. D。推理判斷題。文章首段說預測未來並不容易,再根據七十年代許多專家認為沒有人願意使用電腦可知,Thomas Watson的話是說他認為電腦的未來一片黯淡。
26. A。細節理解題。根據第三段Dr Brooks所說的they're giving us more surprises too. They're starting to think可知,研究開發新型智能機器人的Dr Brooks認為如今電腦越來越智能。
27. D。推理判斷題。根據倒數第二段可知,Hal是一款可以思考並與人進行語言交流的機器人,再根據最後一段介紹Hal與人相處的方式可知,Hal的特殊之處在於它是通過自我思考與人進行交流的。
C篇 (藝術)
本文是記敘文。文章講述了世界著名長號演奏家Abbie Conant為爭取自己的權利不斷斗爭的故事。
28. C。細節理解題。根據第一段的Abbie Conant, a musician living in Italy, was looking to move onfrom playing the trombone for the Royal Opera of Turin可知,原本在都靈皇家歌劇院任職的Abbie Conant,為尋求更大的發展空間,不斷寫信求職。
29. C。推理判斷題。根據第二段的Conant was angry with herself for missing a note in the piece, andwas seen packing the trombone away soon after the audition in preparation toleave可知,Conant在音樂表演上追求完美,所以試音時犯的一點小差錯讓她非常懊惱,試音一結束就選擇了離開。
30. D。推理判斷題。根據第四段的the selection committee were waiting, sure they were going to beintroced to Mr Conant, when in walked a woman 可知,評選委員會的成員本以為Conant是名男性,因此當他們看到Conant竟然是女人的時候,感到很驚訝。
31. B。推理判斷題。根據文章最後三段可知,Conant兩次將慕尼黑愛樂樂團告上法庭,一次是因為他們僅因她是女性就調整她的長號首席一職,另外一次是因為他們在發薪水時將她和男性演奏家區別對待。兩次均是因為她受到了不公正的待遇。
D篇 (社會)
本文是說明文。文章主要介紹了早期貨幣的歷史。
32. D。寫作手法題。作者在第一段舉了獵人和漁夫的例子,用來說明物物交換的交易方式。
33. C。推理判斷題。根據第三段可知,賣家認為自己的東西比一頭牛貴,可買家不願支付兩頭牛的價錢給賣家,但買家支付一頭半牛也不便實施。因此,買家會覺得用牛做貨幣有缺點。
34. B。推理判斷題。根據最後一段的We still speak of people as not being worth their salt if they donot do their jobs well可以判斷,worth their salt的意思是「勝任」,故選B項。
35. A。文章出處題。本文從最原始的物物交換談起,按時間順序介紹了貨幣的早期歷史。故本文最有可能選自一篇關於貨幣歷史的文章。

China condemns fisherman's death
China strongly condemned the Philippines' "barbaric" fatal shooting of a 65-year-old fisherman from Taiwan on Thursday, a Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said on Friday.
"We strongly urge again that the Philippines investigate the case immediately and handle the issue properly. We will keep a close watch on the development of the incident," said Hua Chunying, spokeswoman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, at a daily news conference.
China expressed deep concern over the Philippines' repeated attacks against unarmed fishermen, Hua said.
"We wish to express deep grief over the death of the Taiwan fisherman and give condolences to the victim's family," Hua said.
Responding to a Philippine news report stating that some Chinese vessels were spotted near Ren'ai Jiao, Hua said China has indisputable sovereignty over the Nansha Islands and their adjacent waters.
The shooting occurred at about 10 am on Thursday in an area about 160 nautical miles southeast of the southernmost tip of the island of Taiwan, according to Taiwan's coast guard authority.
The victim was identified as 65-year-old Hung Shih-cheng. Four seamen were on the boat, the Guang Ta Hsin 28. The other three — the victim's son, his son-in-law and an Indonesian fisherman —were all injured, the Beijing Times reported.
The Philippine vessel fired nearly 40 shots at the fishing boat.
After killing the fisherman, the Philippine armed vessel continued to chase and fire at the fishing boat for another hour and a half, according to reports carried by Taiwan media outlets.

英語新聞:Rage, unrest reign in Ferguson
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29-- Rage and unrest have once again taken over in the past week in Ferguson, a previously little-known northern suburb of St. Louis, Missouri, in the wake of a grand jury decision not to indict a white police officer in the fatal shooting of a black teenager in August.
More than a dozen buildings along the West Florissant Avenue, a few blocks from where Brown was shot, were set ablaze and police cars were vandalized on Monday night following the announcement of the grand jury's decision.
On South Florissant Road, a main commercial strip in Ferguson, shops were looted with smashed windows.
Local residents and business owners were nervous and uncertain about the future in the once peaceful town of about 21,000 people.

布萊爾辭職的VOA新聞稿,內容不長,也蠻簡單的~
Tony Blair chose the town of Sedgefield, the heart of his constituency in northeast England, to make his long-awaited announcement.
Tony Blair announces he will step down as prime minister on June 27, 10 May 2007
"Today, I announce my decision to stand down from the leadership of the Labour Party," he said. "The party will now select a new leader. On the 27th of June I will tender my resignation from the office of prime minister to the Queen."
With these words, Mr. Blair began the transition of power. The Labour Party is expected to select current treasury chief, chancellor of the exchequer, Gordon Brown, as its new leader, paving the way for him to become prime minister on June 27.
Speaking to party members in Sedgefield, Mr. Blair said that after a decade in power it was time to go.
"I've been prime minister of this country for just over 10 years," he added. "In this job in the world of today, I think that's long enough for me, but more especially for the country."
Mr. Blair recounted some of his government's successes, including Britain's booming economy, improvements in health care, employment and social benefits. He also talked of foreign successes: intervention in the civil conflicts in Kosovo and Sierra Leone. He spoke of Britain's part in the fight against terrorism, in toppling the Taleban in Afghanistan and in ousting Saddam Hussein from Iraq, although acknowledging Britain's involvement in Iraq remains a deeply controversial issue.
Mr. Blair admitted not everyone agrees with the decisions he made over the past 10 years.
"I did what I thought was right," he said. "I may have been wrong; that's your call. But, believe one thing if nothing else, I did what I thought was right for our country."
Mr. Blair acknowledged that not all expectations he had come into office with had been fulfilled. He said some people might say the expectations were too high, but he said he would not have wanted it any other way.
