A

Introductory Chemistry was taught at Duke University for many years by professor Bonk. One year， two guys took the class and did pretty well on all the quizzes and mid-terms. They each had a solid A. These two friends were so confident in going into the final that the weekend before finals week， despite the Chemistry final being on Monday， they decided to go to the University of Virginia to party with some friends.

They had a great time there. However， with their hangovers (宿醉) and tiredness， they overslept all day Sunday and didn’t make it back to Duke until early Monday morning. Rather than taking the final then， they found professor Bonk after the final and explained to him how they missed the final. They told him they went up to the University of Virginia for the weekend and had planned to come back in time to study， but they had a flat tire on the way back and didn’t have a spare. So they were late getting back to campus.

Bonk thought this over and agreed that they could take the final the following day. The two guys， happy and relieved， studied that night and went in the next day at the time that Bonk had told them. He placed them in separate rooms and handed each of them a test booklet. He told them to begin.

They looked at the first problem which was something simple about solution (溶解). It was worth 5 points. “Cool，” they thought， “this is going to be an easy final”. They then turned the page. They were unprepared， however， for what they saw on it. The question contained only two words: (95 points) Which tire?

56. The two guys decided to go to the University of Virginia because ______.

A. they were afraid of the final B. there was a party there

C. the final would be held thereD. they thought they can pass the final easily

B. Bonk wasn’t strict with the two guys

C. repairing the flat tire took the two guys a lot of time

D. Bonk didn’t believe the two guys’ explanation

The Diet Zone: A Dangerous Place

Diet Coke， diet Pepsi， diet pills， no-fat diet， vegetable， diet... We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paving for products that harm us psychologically and physically.

Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level， we are not allowing our brains to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight， but in controlling the consumption of fatty， high-calorie， unhealthy foods， Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale (秤) instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.

On another level， diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink， we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain， and that life can be without resistance and struggle.

The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us， but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients (營養成分). Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional， and the chemicals that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.

Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us， it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds， not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this， we will be much better able to resist diet products， and therefore prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them.

60. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to ________.

A. try out a variety of diet foodsB. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods

C. pay attention to their own eating habitsD. watch their weight rather than their diet

61. In paragraph 3， “gain comes without pain” probably means _________.

A. losing weight is effortlessB. it costs a lot to lost weight

C. diet products bring no pain D. diet products are free from calories

62. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products _________.

A. are over-consumedB. lack basic nutrients

C. are short of chemicalsD. provide too much energy

63. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

CP: central pointP: pointSp: sub-point (次要點)C: conclusion

C

Here are some of the world’s most impressive subways.

64. Which one can provide the riders some wonderful decorations at the stations?

A. The Tokyo Metro and Toei Lines.B. The Moscow Metro.

C. The London Metro. D. The Hong Kong MTR.

65. ________ is done with the purpose of making money.

A. The Tokyo Metro and Toei Lines B. The Moscow Metro

C. The London Metro D. The Hong Kong MTR

66. We can learn from the passage that Shanghai Metro ________.

A. carries the most people each day

D

“Happiness consists in the multiplicity of agreeable consciousness，” wrote Samuel Johnson， a famous British writer and lexicographer (詞典編寫者) of the eighteenth century.

Today， amid the large amount of worldly temptations and material sources of modern-day enjoyment， people from all walks of life are still searching for the key to happiness. The question “How can we be happy?” seems to worry everyone. Indeed， in this day and age of scientific advancement and heavenly comforts， people still do not seem able to find a definite answer to the age-old problem of finding happiness. Happiness seems to be a very difficult thing. Solon’s dictum (格言；警句) “count no man happy until he is dead” seems to present both， the poor and the rich with a continual threat causing them no end of anxiety.

In Oxford， England， a noted psychology professor， Dr Michael Argyle， has succeeded in his quest for happiness. Over the past eight years， he has been researching the mysterious antithesis (對立面) of depression， and has found convincing clues which he has embodied in his books. “The Psychology of Happiness” and “The Social Psychology of Everyday Life”.

Dr Argyle explains that happiness comprises three essential elements—first， positive emotions 1ike joy; second， the absence of negative emotions like anxiety; and lastly， the non-emotional element which means a general， more profound satisfaction with life.

“The bigger source of happiness is a happy marriage，” Dr Argyle explains. “Job satisfaction，” he continues， “is another essential ingredient of happiness.” Do you feel you are doing a useful job? Do you feel you are achieving， or stand a chance of achieving your ambitions? If you honestly have positive answers to these questions， then eventually， you will be happy; if not， then you can still be happy by reducing your ambitions and lowering your expectations in order to achieve happiness. The fact is， the higher your ambitions and dreams are， the more difficult it will be for you to achieve your goals and therefore it will be harder to achieve satisfaction and happiness.

Dr Argyle offers other avenues people can take to find real happiness. Music， games or sports， a drink with a friend， a simple gathering at tea， lunch or dinner with loved ones， or simply thinking of nice things， can give a person happiness， if only for a few hours. Surprisingly， television programmes， especially soap operas offer nothing but a bit of pleasurable moments. Often， television viewers are so carried away emotionally that they feel depressed or emotionally tired. Non-soap prograrmmes， on the other hand， bore many viewers or sometimes deepen their misery. Dr Argyle further explains that wealth and worldly success do contribute to happiness. But in the ultimate analysis， Dr Argyle says， it is the person’s temperament (性情) that makes him happy or unhappy. “There are in our midst people who are naturally happy， and there are the sad ones.”

Happiness is indeed mysterious. As one wise man put it， “Few are those who have never had the chance to achieve happiness， but fewer those who have never taken that chance.”

67. The writer quotes Solon’s dictum in Paragraph 2 to prove that ________.

A. happiness is everyone’s business B. the dead are happier than the living

C. man is generally hardD. happiness is not easy to find

68. The writer believes that television programmes ________.

A. do more harm than good B. offer only limited enjoyment

C. should be avoided altogether by viewersD. are a genuine source of enjoyment

69. Dr Argyle believes that ________.

A. the temperament of a person is largely affected by his working environment

B. there are people who are by nature happy or unhappy

C. there are people who blame others for their low self-esteem

D. most people often feel depressed because they worry about what other people think of them

70. In the last paragraph， the writer implies that ________.

A. happiness is 1

B. people may not know it but they are， in fact， happy

C. people should not bother seeking happiness

D. most people have been happy at least once in their life
