After four rounds， only Cassie and I were49. I let go of my box. I heard someone say \"ew\" after seconds. Had my egg broken? I raced down the 50. The sidewalk was dotted with egg shells (蛋殼) from those 51drops. Finally I found my little Egg-cellent Egg Cream.

Most young architects--particularly those in big cities -- can only dream about working in a building of their own. And making that dream come true often means finding a building no one else seems to want， which is exactly what happened to David Yocum and his partner， Brian Bell. Their building is a former automobile electrical-parts firm in Atlanta. From the outside， it looks too old， even something horrible，but open the door and you are in a wide， open courtyard， lined on three sides with rusting (生銹的) walls.

In 2000， Yocum and Bell found this building in the city's West End. Built in 1947， the structure had been abandoned years earlier and the roof of the main building had fallen down. But the price was right， so Yocum bought it. He spent eight months of his off-hours on demolition(拆除)， pulling rubbish out through the roof， because it was too dangerous to go inside the building. The demolition was hard work， but it gave him time to think about what he wanted to do， and \"to treasure what was there -- the walls， the rust， the light，\" Yocum said. \"Every season， more paint falls off the walls and more rust develops. It's like an art installation (裝置) in there--a slow-motion show. \"

Since the back building had been constructed without windows， an alt-glass front was added to the building to give it a view of the courtyard， and skylights were installed in the roof. The hack of the building is a working area and a living room for Yocum and his wife. A sort of buffer(緩沖) zone between the front and the hack contains a bathroom， a kitchen and a mechanical room， and the walls that separate these zones have openings that allow views through to the front of the studio and the courtyard beyond.

Yocum and Bell， who have just completed an art gallery for the city， feel that the experience from the decoration of their building， focusing on the inside rather than the outside， has influenced their work. It has also given these architects a chance to show how they can make more out of less.

60. According to the passage， it is ______ for most young architects in big cities to work in a building of their own.

A. easyB. unnecessaryC. unrealisticD. common

61. Yocum bought the old building because ______ .

A. it was a bargain to him

B. it was still in good condition

C. it was located in the city center

D. it looked attractive from the outside

62. Working on the old building， Yocum and Bell ______ .

A. pulled rubbish out through the roof

B. removed the skylights from the bathroom

C. presented a slow-motion show in an art gallery

D. built a kitchen at the back part of the old building

63. It can be inferred from the passage that Yocum and Bell ______ .

A. benefited a lot from pulling down the roof

B. turned more old buildings into art galleries

C. got inspiration from decorating their old building

D. paid more attention to the outside of the art gallery

64. The main idea of the passage is that ______ .

A. people can learn a lot from their failures

B. it is worthwhile to spend money on an old building

C. people should not judge things by their appearance

D. creative people can make the best of what they have

C

You're sitting on the train home and the person opposite you yawns(打哈欠). Suddenly， you're yawning with him， though you're not tired.

This phenomenon confused scientists for years until a recent study found that people tend to sympathize with fellow humans. Supporting this claim was the discovery that those children who were unable to form normal emotional ties with others did not experience contagious (有感染力的) yawning， which showed that humans communicate regularly without words.

Hugo Critchley， a neuroscientist， has conducted an experiment recently， which will prove that happiness and sadness can spread like the common cold. According to Critchley， our mind and body are in constant exchange about how we' re feeling. \"Emotions are closely linked with states of internal(內部的) responses，\" he explained. \"There are also more visible changes in our gestures and facial expressions. When we're in a group， these signals can spread to another person. For example， there's the obvious tendency to smile when smiled at and there are less obvious changes that reflect emotions of surprise， anger or sadness such as a change in our heart rate and blood pressure.\"

Hugo Critchley further explained， \"Our bodies synchronise and when we like the other person， we even copy his behavior. Next time you chat with a friend， take note of how you' re sitting- it's pretty likely that you will be the same. Scientists believe it's our way of telling each other that we're partners. Through body language， humans give each other very subtle (微妙的) but clear signals that show emotions. \"

So， what lessons can we learn from this? \"Spend time with happy people -- otherwise your health could suffer，\" said Critchley. \"When we're sad， our body goes into fight or flight mode. But when we' re happy， our body works normally and we feel relaxed and positive. So we look bright， our skin glows， we feel healthy and it affects everyone around us. \"

65. According to Hugo Critchley， ______ .

A. emotions are as visible as facial expressions

B. we yawn more frequently when we have a cold

C. emotions are connected with states of internal responses

D. the change of blood pressure is not linked with the change of emotions

66. The underlined word synchronise in Paragraph 4 means \" ______ \".

A. move slowlyB. change rapidly

C. relax temporarilyD. respond accordingly

67. From the passage we can learn ______ .

A. sadness is as contagious as happiness

B. anger is less contagious than friendliness

C. surprise is more contagious than smile

D. surprise is the most contagious among emotions

68. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. Emotions have delicate influence on fellow humans.

B. Children like copying the actions of fellow humans.

C. Scientists are still confused about contagious yawning.

D. People tend to communicate more with body language.

D

Celebrity (名人) has become one of the most important representatives of popular culture. Fans used to be crazy about a specific film， but now the public tends to base its consumption(消費) on the interest of celebrity attached to any given product. Besides， fashion magazines have almost abandoned the practice of putting models on the cover because they don't sell nearly as well as famous faces. As a result， celebrities have realized their unbelievably powerful market potential， moving from advertising for others' products to developing their own.

Celebrity clothing lines aren't a completely new phenomenon， but in the past they were typically aimed at the ordinary consumers， and limited to a few TV actresses. Today they' re started by first-class stars whose products enjoy equal fame with some world top brands. The most successful start-ups have been those by celebrities with specific personal style.As celebrities become more and more experienced at the market， they expand their production scale rapidly， covering almost all the products of daily life.

However， for every success story， there's a related warning tale of a celebrity who overvalued his consumer appeal. No matter how famous the product's origin is， if it fails to impress consumers with its own qualities it begins to resemble an exercise in self-promotional marketing. And once the initial (最初的) attention dies down， consumer interest might fade， loyalty (忠誠) returning to tried-and-true labels.

Today， celebrities face even more severe embarrassment. The pop-cultural circle might be bigger than ever， but its rate of turnover bas speeded up as well. Each misstep threatens to reduce a celebrity’s shelf life， and the same newspaper or magazine that once brought him fame has no problem picking him to pieces when the opportunity appears. Still， the ego's (自我的) potential for expansion is limitless. Having already achieved great wealth and public recognition， many celebrities see fashion as the next frontier to be conquered. As the saying goes， success and failure always go hand in hand. Their success as designers might last only a short time， but fashion--like celebrity--has always been temporary.

69. Fashion magazines today ______ .

A. seldom put models on the cover

B. no longer put models on the cover

C. need not worry about celebrities' market potential

D. judge the market potential of every celebrity correctly

70. A change in the consumer market can be found today that ______ .

A. price rather than brand name is more concerned

B. producers prefer models to celebrities for advertisements

C. producers prefer TV actresses to film stars for advertisements

D. quality rather than the outside of products is more concerned

71. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 indicates that any wrong step will possibly

______ .

A. decrease the popularity of a celebrity and the sales of his products

B. damage the image of a celebrity in the eyes of the general public

C. cut short the artistic career of a celebrity in show business

D. influence the price of a celebrity's products

72. The passage is mainly about ______ .

A. celebrity and personal style

B. celebrity and market potential

C. celebrity and fashion design

D. celebrity and clothing industry

第二節簡答題(共3小題；每小題2分，滿分6分)

閱讀下面短文，根據第73至75小題的具體要求，簡要回答問題。

Every January， Breckenridge hosts the International Snow Sculpture Championships. Fourteen teams travel from all over the world to Switzerland to compete. Teams sculpt for sixty-five hours over five days. Each team hopes that when the time is up， its sculpture will be judged the best.

As the championship begins， the fourteen teams are faced with huge blocks of snow that weigh twenty tons each. The sculptors bring out their favorite tools that work best on the hard iced snow， but they are not allowed to employ tools that use electricity.

Most teams are inspired by what they have seen in daily life. For example， one team carved a teapot with tea pouring out. Another team sculpted a little cat on its hind feet(后腳) reaching into a fish bowl complete with water ripples(漣漪) and a crab(螃蟹) trying to attack the cat. In 2006， Team USA sculpted a golden dog looking at its image reflected in a mirror. To create the effect that the little dog saw its reflection in the glass， the artists carved two dogs facing each other with their paws(腳爪) touching.

As the final hours of the competition tick by， exhausted team members add last-minute details. They use small brooms to brush off snow caught in tiny holes. One team member counts down the last five minutes while others are busy cleaning up the tools. If they leave any tools behind， they will be out. When the whistle blows， everyone must step away from the sculpture. The judges then vote on creativity， technical skills， and visual impact (視覺效果) of the designs.

In 2006， Team USA took first place for their golden dog sculpture titled \"Discovery\". But the competition is not just about medals and ribbons. \"It's not about the prize，\" said Rob Neyland， Team USA's captain. \"It's about touching the audience.\"

Every year， as the championship ends， each team is already dreaming of the next masterpiece it will design.

改建成一處非常舒適漂亮的居所和工作場所。

60．C[解析]推理判斷題。根據第一段“…can only dream about working in a building of their own”

棟建筑是因為價格便宜，即“it was a bargain”。B項“仍處于良好狀態”，C項“坐落在市中

心”，D項“從外面看很吸引入”，都與事實不符。

pulling rubbish out through the roof”可知他花了很長時間從房頂上拆除廢舊材料。其他都

不符合文意。

…has influenced their work…”說明他們從舊建筑裝潢中吸取到很多經驗。

改造成一個非常舒適漂亮的生活和工作場所，這說明富有創新意識的人能夠充分利用現

有的東西。故選項D符合文章主題。A項“人們可以從失敗中學到經驗”，B項“值得在舊

建筑上花錢”，C項“人們不能憑外觀判斷事物”，都不符合文章的主題。

自禁。本文探討了人們之間情緒相互傳染的問題并指出人們需要經常跟快樂的人呆

在一起，因為快樂也是會傳染給你的。

65．C [解析]細節題。根據第三段“Emotions areclosely linked with states of internal responses”，可知

情緒跟人的內心的反應有著密切的聯系。應選C。A項“情緒與表情一樣可見”，B項“感冒

時經常打哈欠”，D項“血壓的變化跟情緒的變化無關”，都沒有科學依據。

66．D[解析]詞義理解題。根據第四段“when we like the other person，we even copy his behavior”可

知synchronize的意思就是“作出相應的回應”，而不是“慢慢移動”“快速變化”或“臨時放松”。

67．B[解析]推理判斷題。根據最后一段可知當人快樂時會很具有感染力，反之當人生氣或不

高興時感染力就會下降，據此答案選B。A項“悲哀跟快樂一樣具有感染力”，C項“驚訝

比微笑更具有感染力”，D項“驚訝在所有情緒中最具有感染力”，都缺乏科學依據。

68.A[解析]推理判斷題。全文講述了情緒可以相互感染，或者說情緒對別人有著一些微妙的影

響，選項A為最佳答案。B項“孩子喜歡模仿他人行為”，這與情緒無關，C項“科學家仍對

打哈欠‘傳染’感到迷惑”，D項“人們喜歡使用體態語交際”，都不合實情。

69．A[解析]細節題。根據第一段“fashion magazines have almost abandoned the practice of putting

models on the cover”可知今天的時裝雜志不愿在封面上刊登模特照片。當然也不是再也

不登了。

70．D[解析]推理判斷題。根據第四段“…if it fails to impress consumers with its own qualities it

begins to resemble an exercise in self-promotional marketing”可知現今產品的質量比外表更

能使產品占領市場，引起關注。A項“價格比起商標更令人關心”，B項“制造商喜歡模特

勝過名人來做廣告”，C項“制造商喜歡電視女明星勝過電影明星來做廣告”，都不合文章

真實用意。此題較難。

71．A[解析]細節題。根據第四段“…rate of turnover has speeded up as well…the same newspaper

or magazine that once brought him fame has no problem picking him to pieces”可知名人一旦

走錯路馬上就會名譽掃地，當然由他(她)代言的產品也會跟著受損了。

72．B[解析]主旨大意題。本文主要講述各廠家都喜歡用名人來做廣告，因此A項“名人與市場

潛力”最符合文章主題。A項“名人和個人風格”，C項“名人和時裝設計”，D項“名人與服

裝業”都不符合文章主題。
