三、閱讀理解 (共20小題; 每小題2分, 滿分40分)
A
A famous scientist made several important medical breakthroughs. He was asked by a newspaper reporter why he was more ingenious than the average person. He answered that it all came from a childhood experience with his mother. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the fridge (冰箱) when he failed to hold the bottle firmly and it fell, spilling the milk all over the kitchen floor.
When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of punishing (懲罰) him, she said, “Robert, I have hardly seen such a huge pool of milk. Whenever you make a mess like this, at last you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge (海綿), a towel, or a mop. Which do you prefer?”
He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilled milk. His mother then said, “You failed to carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let’s go to the backyard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.”
The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. This scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes. Even if the experiment doesn’t work, we usually learn something valuable from it.

A teenage hunter was forced to shoot and kill a polar bear as he waited for over a day to be rescued from a large piece of floating sea ice in the Canadian North.
A teenage hunter and his 67-year-old uncle were reported missing last Saturday. The pair’s snowmobile (機動雪車) broke down 18 kilometers from Coral Harbor, a tiny community in the northern part of Hudson Bay.
Walking toward the community to get help, they were separated. A large piece of ice broke off, letting the teen float away. Searchers picked up the uncle on Sunday morning.
Sometime before Sunday afternoon, the teen came across three bears, likely a female and two babies, on the same large ice. The adult bear got too close. He did have to shoot it with a gun to protect himself. The two babies remained with the body and the teen positioned himself as far away from them as he could.
An air search began on Sunday morning. A pilot on a small rescue plane found the teen on Sunday afternoon and also saw the body of a bear. The rescuers dropped a plastic container of chocolate bars and candy to the youth.
The plane wasn’t able to rescue him before nightfall, and after they lost sight of him, the search continued overnight. On Monday morning, the rescuers again found the youth. Two rescuers parachuted (跳傘) to a larger sheet of floating ice a short distance away.

The Hubble Space Telescope has been racing around Earth for 19 years. Over that time, it has collected a lot of important data and changed our understanding of space.
“In recent months, the historic telescope has been suffering from technical difficulties. These problems are not all that surprising,” says Frank Summers, an astronomer in Baltimore. “The Hubble has already lived longer than it was originally expected to,” he says.
When scientists first designed the Hubble Space Telescope, they expected it to last for 15 years. In 2010, it will reach twenty years. The spacecraft recently completed its 100,000th orbit (繞軌道飛行) around Earth. The reason the Hubble has lasted so long is that people have been able to go up and fix it when parts break. Repairs are common on ground telescopes, but the Hubble is the only space telescope that receives these kinds of visits.
Hubble’s problems also show how important the telescope has been to astronomy in the last twenty years. Scientists have used the telescope to watch moons around planets and planets around stars. It has taught scientists about black holes and dark matter. And it has taken images of exploding stars, dust storms and more.
“It is the best telescope in history,” Frank Summers says. “There are things we can do with the Hubble that we can’t do with anything else. It provides us with a bird’s eye view of the universe.”
46.Why has the Hubble lasted longer than scientists expected?
A. The environment has changed a lot.
B. It used the most advanced technology.
C. People have been able to fix it.
D. It can be sent back to Earth for checks.
47.What happened to the Hubble recently?
A. It ran away from its orbit.B. It nearly ran out of energy.
C. It was hit by a small comet.D. It had some technical problems.
48.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “images” in Paragraph 4?
A. Appearances. B. Pictures. C. Impressions. D. Opinions.
49. What does Frank Summers think of the Hubble?
A. It looks like a bird flying in the universe.
B. It can not be replaced by anything else now.
C. It will be the best telescope for a long time.
D. It is much more useful than other telescopes.
50.We can learn from the text that the Hubble .
A. is the only space telescope in the universe
B. has moved around Earth one million times
C. has helped scientists learn about black holes
D. is mainly used for taking pictures of the universe

The Washington National Zoo is a 163-acre (英畝) zoo located in the Woodley Park section of Washington D.C. Unlike most zoos, visiting the National Zoo is free of charge. Founded in 1889, the National Zoo was first supposed to perform as an institute to breed (培育) endangered American animals and to educate Americans about such animals.
At first, the zoo grew slowly and nearly closed. In the 1930’s, the zoo began to import more rare non-American animals such as giraffes, tigers, and lions. In addition, the zoo’s focus shifted from simply showing animals to establishing programs to help ensure their futures. It wasn’t until the late 1950’s when the zoo’s first full-time veterinarian was employed! In 1958, Friends of the National Zoo (FONZ) was founded in an effort to shift the economic burden of supporting the zoo to the Smithsonian Institute. This enabled the zoo to obtain the funding it needed to grow and develop. Today, FONZ has 40,000 contributing members.
Soon, the National Zoo became more than just a popular tourist destination ― it became a center of research, education, science, and breeding biology. In 1972, the National Zoo exhibited its flagship species, the Giant Panda, for the first time. In 1975, the zoo bought 3,200 acres near Front Royal, Virginia where rare animals such as the Maned Wolf and Mongolian Wild Horses are free to live in endless enclosures (圍場) where biologists carefully study their habits, behaviors, biological needs, and breeding success.
Today, the National Zoo is an incredible experience for people of all ages. It features amazing animal exhibitions. Visitors can experience the wonders of the Amazon Rainforest and view rare animals from there. Numerous endangered species are exhibited in the zoo.
51.The National Zoo was originally built to .
A. let people visit it free of charge
B. show people how animals perform
C. save endangered American animals
D. educate endangered animals in America
52.What can we learn from the second paragraph?

B. People showed more interest in visiting the animals in the zoo.
C. The zoo had not any veterinarians until the late 1950’s.
D. The Smithsonian Institute got support from FONZ.
53.The underlined word “obtain” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.

A person’s nose is important for breathing and smelling. The nose is also used in many popular expressions.
Some people are able to lead other people by the nose. , if a wife leads her husband by the nose, she makes him do whatever she wants him to do. Some people are said to be hard-nosed. They will not change their opinions or positions on anything. If someone is hard-nosed, chances are he will never pay through the nose, or pay too much money for an object or service.
It is always helpful when people keep their nose out of other people’s business. They do not interfere (干預). The opposite of this is someone who noses around all the time. This kind of person is interested in other people’s private matters. He is considered nosey.
One unusual expression is that is no skin off my nose. This means that a situation does not affect or concern me.
More problems can develop if a person looks down his nose at someone or something. The person acts like something is unimportant or worthless. This person might also turn up his nose at something that he considers not good enough. This person thinks he is better than everyone else. He has his nose in the air.
In school, some students thumb their nose at their teacher. They refuse to obey orders or do any work. Maybe these students do not know the correct answers. My mother always told me, if you study hard, the answers should be right under your nose or easily seen.
