“Attention, everyone!” Miss Dalrymple looked at her class of ten-year-olds. “Today we are going to create a special card for Father’s Day, which falls on this weekend.” Then she busied herself handing out the paper and art materials to her noisy pupils.
They were a mixed punch. Some came from the rich side of the town, but the majorities were from parents who struggled to get jobs. So she had not been eager to carry out this activity.
“Think about all the things that your dad does that make him special,” she said loudly as she approached the last table. “You can write a poem or short story thinking of the positive characteristics that make your dad special. The written part of this activity should be completed before you start to decorate your card.”
Andrew looked at the blank page. He had never met, spoken to, or been hugged by his dad, so how could he write about him Once when he was looking in his grandma’s photo box, he had seen an old black and white photo but it was badly creased(弄皺) and difficult to recognize any clear features. She had quickly taken it from him and buried it deeply among the rest, never to be found again. After thinking for a while, he wrote:
Dear Dad,
You are a person I do not know and would probably not recognize as I only saw an old photo of you a long time ago. I think and wonder about you often, especially when I have no one to talk to about the Saturday fixtures(體育活動). One day when I grow up I will do an Internet search to find you, but I am not sure whether I will be successful as several attempts by the Child Support Agency have not been successful. Happy Father’s Day, Dad.
Love,
Andrew

B. Make a special card for their fathers.

A new study has found the amount of antibiotics (抗生素) given to farm animals is expected to increase by two-thirds over the next 15 years. Researchers are linking the growing dependence on the drugs to the increasing need for meat, milk and eggs. However, the drugs could quicken the development of antibiotic-resistant infections (感染). Such infections are already a major public, health concern in the United States.
The World Health Organization notes when people stop living in poverty (貧困), the first thing they want to do is eat better, rather than earn more money. For most people, that means their diet should contain more meat. With the rapid development of Asia, people there are eating nearly four times as much meat, milk and other milk products as they did 50 year ago.
To meet the need, farmers have put many animals into smaller spaces. As the animals are crowded together, the easiest way to deal with some of the problems d crowding is to give them antibiotics. It’s clear that antibiotics help animals stay healthy in a crowded environment and grow faster. But bacteria can develop resistance to the drugs gradually.
Nowadays, doctors find antibiotics that once worked against the infections no longer work. The bacteria have learned ways to fight against the drugs. The heavy use of antibiotics in animals is responsible for the growth of antibiotic resistance worldwide. In the United States, at least two million people get drug-resistant infections each year and at least 23,000 die from an infection.
Europe has banned the use of antibiotics to increase animal growth. And the United States is hoping to persuade farmers to stop using antibiotics for that purpose.
18. What do most people want to do first when they get rid of poverty according to the WHO
A. Making a lot of money. B. Focusing more on health.
C. Having more meat in their diet. D. Living in a better environment.
19. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Antibiotics do harm to animals. B. Antibiotics help animals stay healthy.
C. Antibiotics are used heavily in Europe. D. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria spread to people.
20. What’s the passage mainly about
A. A new way of raising farm animals.
B. The advantages of using antibiotics.
C. The reason for banning the use of antibiotics.
D. The negative effect of antibiotics in farm animals.
D
You spend a third of your life asleep, a certain part of which involves dreaming. But most often, you don’t remember any of your dreams.
While the exact reason of why we can hardly recall our dreams is not fully known, scientists have gotten some insight into memory processes during sleep, leading to several ideas that may explain our forgetfulness.
You are awake, but is your hippocampus (海馬體) awake When we fall asleep, not all the brain’s regions go offline at the same time. Researchers have found one of the last regions to go to sleep is the hippocampus, a structure in brain that is important for moving information from short-term memory into long-term memory.
“If the hippocampus is the last to go to sleep, it could very well be the last to wake up, ” said Thomas Andrillon, a neuroscientist at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. “So, you could have this window where you wake up with a dream in your short-term memory, but since the hippocampus is not fully awake yet, your brain is not able to keep that memory,” Andrillon told Live Science.
While this might explain why dream memories are so fleeting, it doesn’t mean that your hippocampus has been inactive throughout the night. In fact, this region is quite active during sleep, and appears to be storing and caring for existing memories to strengthen them, instead of listening for incoming new experiences.
Sometimes your dreams are just not memorable Do you remember what you were thinking about this morning when brushing your teeth Our minds wander all the time, but we get rid of most of those thoughts as unimportant information. Dreams, especially ordinary ones, may be just like daydreaming thoughts and believed by the brain to be too useless to remember. But dreams that are more vivid, emotional and coherent(連貫的)seem to be better remembered-perhaps because they cause more awakening, and their organized story makes them easier to store.
If you are interested in improving your dream recall, there are a few tricks to try. One is drinking water before bed, because it will make you wake up at night to use the bathroom. These middle-of-the-night awakenings are frequently accompanied by dream recall. Repeatedly reminding yourself that you want to remember your dreams may increase your chances, and so does keeping a dream journal, some studies have suggested. Upon waking up, hang on to that fragile(脆弱的)dream memory: keep your eyes closed, stay still and replay the dream memory, until your hippocampus catches up and properly stores the memory.
21. What can we learn about dreams from the passage
A. Dreaming means processing memory during sleeping.
B. Dreams come from your hippocampus.
C. Dreams are sometimes useless for us to remember.
D. We need special trainings to recall our dreams.
22. You can’t remember your dreams when you wake up probably because ________.
A. you are forgetful and poor in remembering things
B. your dreams are vivid, emotional and coherent
C. your hippocampus is active in receiving new information
D. your brain needs to start up to move dreams into long-term memory
23. Which of the following CANNOT help you to recall a dream
A. Improve the ability of your hippocampus to catch up information.
B. Keep reminding yourself of the need to remember your dreams.
C. Record what you can remember in your dreams upon awakening.
D. Think back on the things in your dreams directly after you wake up.
24. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To tell the importance of dreams.
B. To explain our forgetfulness in dreams.
C. To present some methods to recall dreams.
D. To analyze how our brain deal with information.

閱讀下面的短文和問題，根據短文內容，在相應題號后的橫線上寫下相關信息，完成對該問題的回答。答語要意思清楚，結構正確，書寫工整。
Is it a tree Is it a bear If you’re looking at a tree in the shape of a bear, it’s a topiary. A topiary is a tree or bush that is trained into a shape. Topiaries are a kind of sculpture. Growing topiary garden takes both time and skill.
The first thing a topiary gardener does is make a drawing. The drawing shows the form the gardener would like a tree or bush to take. The gardener then chooses the bush for the topiary. It may be one that has just been planted or one that is already in place. Special bushes are used for topiaries. These bushes are yew privet, or boxwood.
In June of the plant’s first year, the gardener looks for new leaves. When the leaves grow, it is time to shape the bottom of the bush. The gardener shapes the bottom of the bush for about five years. The top is not trimmed during this time.
In the fifth year, the bush grows tall enough for shaping. That’s when the gardener begins to shape the whole bush. Sometimes branches are bent (使彎曲) to form a shape. The gardener ties the branches in place.
Once a topiary has been started, it needs care all year. In summer it must be clipped many times to keep its shape. This cutting also helps the bush grow. In winter the bushes don’t grow. The gardeners have to brush snow off the plants. Snow can hurt the flat parts of the plants.
Topiary gardening is a very old art. The Romans did it in the first century. In the sixteenth century, people in Europe liked topiaries too. The Dutch and French grew very pretty topiaries in their neat gardens. In the late 1600s, topiaries were also grown in America. Today, there is a topiary garden in Williamsburg, Virginia. It’s much like a garden that grew there hundreds of years ago.
44. What is a topiary (不多于13個單詞)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
45. When does the gardener begin to shape the whole bush (不多于4個單詞)

46. What care does a topiary need in summer (不多于12個單詞)
