Reading Comprehension（共15小題；A,B,C篇每小題1.5分，D篇每小題1分，滿分20分）(A) Birth, marriage and death: these are the greatest events in human life.

32、Many things, good and bad, can happen to us in our lives. Yet there are three days which are usually marked by some kind of special ceremony: the day we are born, the day we get married and the day we die. These are the three main events in life. We only have a choice in the second of these. We can

33、choose whether or not to marry. But we have no choice in birth and death. All human beings from the most primitive to the most sophisticated（高級的）are affected by these three events. The only thing that differs in each society is the way these events are celebrated. Yet all societies share common char

34、acteristics. Birth is a time of joy. The proud parents receive congratulations and presents on behalf of the new-born. Marriage is also a time of joy. The young couple go through a special wedding ceremony and receive presents to help them set up their home. Death is a time of sorrow and is marked b

All Human Beings Must Die(B) Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in troubleand he was? Have ever dreamed something th

37、at came true later? Maybe you have ESP（超感官知覺）. ESP stands for Extrasensory Perception. It may be called sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events before they happen, or events that are happening some distance away.Heres an example: A woman was ironing clothes. Suddenly she screamed “ My

38、father is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair!” Just then, a telegram came. The womans father had died of a heart attack. He had died sitting in a chair.There are thousands of stories like this one on record. Scientists are studying them to find out whats behind these strange mental messages. Heres

39、 another exampleone of hundreds of dreams that have come true.A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by. The driver said, “Theres room for one more.” The man felt the driver was dead, so he ran away. The next day, the man was getting on a crowed bus. The bus driver

40、said, “Theres room for one more.” Then the man saw that the drivers face was the same face he had seen in the dream. He wouldnt get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into flames. Everyone was killed!Some people say stories like these are lies or “coincidences”. Others, including

41、 some scientists, say that ESP is real. From studies of SEP, we may someday learn more about the human mind.64. ESP lets people know_.

43、y sick people.推薦精選(C) You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. At first they hit each other hard. But soon they begin knocking the others head with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a windowand falls thirty feet down to the ground below. He is dead! O

44、f course he isnt dead. With any luck he isnt even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast-moving trains, who crash cars or even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called “stuntmen”. That is to say, they perform “tricks”.There are

45、 two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall onto hard ground but onto empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress. Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of so

46、ft wood and when they crash through windows, the “glass” is made of sugar!But although their work depends on tricks of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntmans success depends on precise timing. For example, when he is “blown up” in a battle scene, he has to

47、 jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get serious injured and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high. His parachute（降落

48、傘）failed to openand he was killed.In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for “man only”. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action.
