21．B 22．D 23．B
【分析】這是一篇說明文。介紹了世界上四個設計有特色的圖書館。
21．細節理解題。由文章可知，Central Library沒有提到建造年份；Trinity College Library建于1592年；Geisel Library建于1970年；TU Delft Library建于1997年。故Trinity College Library的歷史最長。故選B。
22．細節理解題。由“Geisel Library”中的It has been featured in sci-fi films, short stories and novels.（它曾出現在科幻電影、短篇小說和小說中。）可知該圖書館的特別之處是這個圖書館出現在科幻電影中，而其他圖書館均未提到類似活動，故D選項正確。
23．細節理解題。根據最后一段中The building itself exists beneath the ground, so you can't really see the actual library.（建筑本身就在地下，所以你不能真正看到真正的圖書館。）可知TU Delft的位置使它很難看到。故選B。
24．C 25．D 26．A 27．B
【分析】這是一篇說明文。主要介紹了一種社會現象，很多孩子喜歡My Space,而父母們則對此非常擔憂，害怕信息泄露會成為孩子的安全隱患。
24．細節理解題。根據第三段一整段的內容可知，My Space 可以允許你把很多的信息放進去，包括朋友的名字、生日、學校生活等等，可以推斷出它是鼓勵你把更多的個人信息放進去，故選C。
25．細節理解題。根據第五段的內容，父母們抱怨孩子把個人信息發布到網上存在安全問題，和最后一段的MySpace even lists this information by birthplace and age. It’s like a free checklist for troublemakers and it endangers children，” Buchanan said. 可知，父母反對孩子用MySpace是因為壞人通過這個網站很容易就能找到他們，故選D。
26．推理判斷題。結合上下文和父母們說的這句話，可推斷出父母最擔心的問題是孩子總是把個人信息發布到網上，造成安午安隱患，故選A。
27．主旨大意題。本文主要講述了MySpace深受孩子的喜愛，父母們對此非常擔心，主要話題是MySpace，故選B。
28．C 29．B 30．A 31．D
【分析】本文是一篇說明文。以前人們人物服用維他命可以減低患心臟病和癌癥的危險，但最近的研究結果現實實際情況與原來觀點相反，服用維他命并不能幫助降低患心臟病和癌癥的危險，反而會帶來不好影響。
28．細節理解題。根據第四段第一句Studies in animals and in laboratory dishes suggest that oxidative (氧化性的) stress contributes to diseases like cancer and heart disease.(在動物和實驗室培養皿中的研究表明，氧化應激會導致癌癥和心臟病等疾病)可知，氧化性壓力困難會導致心臟病和癌癥。故C項正確。
29．推理判斷題。根據文章第一段If you are taking vitamin supplements to reduce your risk of heart disease or cancer, a group of health experts want you to know that those vitamins may actually increase your risk of cancer.(如果你服用維生素補充劑以降低患心臟病或癌癥的風險，一組健康專家想讓你知道，這些維生素實際上可能會增加患癌癥的風險)可知，在某些方面，服用維生素是沒有用的，反而會帶來不好影響。故B項正確。
30．細節理解題。根據最后一段The Task Force recommendations of taking vitamins regularly apply to healthy adults aged 50 and older who don’t have “special nutritional needs”. The advice does not apply to children, women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, people with chronic illnesses, or people who have to take supplements because they can’t get all their essential nutrients from their diet. (工作組建議，50歲以上、沒有“特殊營養需求”的健康成年人應定期服用維生素。這個建議不適用于兒童、懷孕或可能懷孕的婦女、患有慢性疾病的人，或者那些因為無法從飲食中獲得所有必需營養而不得不服用補充劑的人)及選項可知，根據工作組的建議，一名60歲的健康工人可以定期服用維生素。故A項正確。
31．主旨大意題。根據文章第一段內容可知，以前人們人物服用維他命可以減低患心臟病和癌癥的危險，但最近的研究結果現實實際情況與原來觀點相反，服用維他命并不能幫助降低患心臟病和癌癥的危險，反而會帶來不好影響。由此可知，D. Taking Vitamins to Prevent Cancer May Fail(服用維生素預防癌癥可能會失敗)適合做本文最佳標題。故D項正確。
32．C 33．C 34．A 35．A
【分析】本文是一篇議論文。由全球36個國家組成的經濟合作與發展組織(OECD)最近發布的一份就業報告稱，在未來20年內，將有一半的就業崗位被技術大大改變。

33．細節理解題。根據文章第四段New and skilled jobs also come with new and improved technology. 新的和改進的技術也會帶來新的和技術熟練的工作，從而可以推斷出，自動化可能帶來的結果是帶來更多的熟練工人。故選C。
34．推理判斷題。根據文章第二段In some cases, that will mean workers losing their jobs completely-the OECD estimates 14 percent of jobs will be completely automated in the next two decades, while others, 32 percent of jobs, will be greatly different from what they look like now.可知，未來20年，更多的工作將會自動化。從而推斷出，由于自動化，更多的工人們將完全失去工作。故選A。
35．推理判斷題。根據文章第三段The OECD Employment Outlook does not predict a jobless future. But it does foresee major challenges for the future of work, said the OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurria, in a statement. Gurria在一份聲明中表示，該組織確實預見到了未來工作的重大挑戰，從而推斷出，Gurria對自動化的態度是積極的。故選A。
36．B 37．D 38．E 39．F 40．C
【分析】這是一篇說明文。文章提到如何找到喜歡做的事的方法。其中要求讀者要根據自己的時間選擇興趣愛好；對自己的愛好進行調查；和那些與你有著相同興趣的人聊天；嘗試一個愛好并看看結果怎樣。
36．文中第一句提到“something you enjoy doing”意為你喜歡做的事，即愛好。第三句提到“…help you make friends…”擁有一個愛好還能幫助你交朋友，即與人交往。由此可知，興趣愛好可以讓你和其他人聯系起來，故選B。
37．根據第二段第二句“…take up a lot of time.”有些愛好，如集郵和園藝都需要花費很長的時間，但“…can be done at your own pace and do not require any extended time.”電子游戲、閱讀等就可以按照自己的節奏完成，也不需要額外的時間。因此需選擇一句跟時間有關的句子，且該空為該段第一句，應選擇一句總起句，故選D。
38．第三段提到要對你選擇的愛好進行研究調查，包括需要的時間和金錢等。該段最后一句提到“…our local library or phone book should also have information…”讀者也可以在圖書館等地找到相關的信息，also意為“也”，可前文中出現過的信息在后文中再次出現時使用，因此該空中可選擇一句查詢興趣愛好的方式。故選E。
39．文中第四段建議和那些與你有著相同興趣愛好的人進行聊天交流，與別人交流得到的信息是最直觀且及時的。與F選項中first—hand knowledge相符。且F項中提到的interview意為“采訪、訪問”，與該段第一句中的“Talk with other people”意思相近，故選F。
40．文中第五段第二句提到“Challenge yourself to try a new activity you are interested in for a week or so.” 挑戰自己，嘗試一周左右一個你感興趣的新活動。即對自己選擇的愛好進行嘗試，并查看嘗試后的結果怎樣。與C項相符，故選C。
【點睛】根據上下文詞匯、重復詞匯來鎖定線索是七選五的解題技巧之一。可關注空白前后的名詞和動詞，然后在選項中查找它們的近義詞、反義詞、同義詞、同類詞等。如第一空后make friends意為交往，由此判斷該空前句子的主要內容應與交往有關。

第四部分 寫作
66．Boys and girls,
I’m greatly honoured to deliver the speech. As we all know, with the development of economy and society, the number of private cars is amazingly increasing. Cars and other vehicles let off carbon gases, and so do many other human activities, which causes global warming, disasters, and so on. It’s high time that we went green.
From my point of view, we should raise the public’s awareness of the significance of going green. And taking public transportation or riding bicycles instead of driving should be greatly encouraged. What’s more, it’s a good idea to classify our rubbish and recycle it in our daily life.
That’s all. Thank you.
67．I was beside myself with extreme anxieties, assuming the worst had happened. Suddenly, the phone rang, I rushed to the phone and picked the receiver up, it was my dad. From the other end of the phone came my father’s voice. He said breathlessly, “Son, I am so sorry about the football game, but …there was a terrible accident…on the freeway coming home, and I stopped to help the injured and ended up going to the hospital. I left my phone in the car, so I couldn’t call you until now.”
The heavy stone in my heart finally fell to the ground. I was so relieved to hear from my father. Having learnt that he was safe, I burst into tears. It was at that moment that I had a full understanding of the importance of a curfew. Since then, I have been insisting on checking in! For me, it’s about knowing that someone I love is safe. It is also one more proof of my father’s loving me as much as he does.

Text 10
I was born in Tasmania. It was named after its discoverer A. J. Tasman. Tasmania is an island off the south coast of Australia. It's the smallest state of Australia, about the size of the Republic of Ireland. And the Weather there is much like the north coast of Spain neither very cold nor very hot.
It used to be a prison for the British Empire. It was a prison because it's an island. The sea of Tasmania is full of sharks. Anyone who tried to escape got eaten by sharks. So there was no escape. But things have improved since the eighteenth century and Tasmania is famous for better reasons. Really, it's a beautiful place with a
wonderful natural environment. So tourism is a major industry, with farming and also food production following closely behind.
The scenery is very beautiful. And it's got rare animals and unique plants. There are only half a million people, so it's a large island with a small population. There are long beaches, mostly empty, no people at all. You can have a whole beach to yourself. On the west coast it's very mountainous. About a third of the state is National Park and complete wilderness. In many places it's possible to walk for maybe ten days without seeing a road or another human being.2024-2025學年度第二學期期中考試

The National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children has received at least 288
MySpace related complaints, according to Mary Beth Buchanan, a lawyer in Pittsburgh.

If you are taking vitamin supplements to reduce your risk of heart disease or cancer, a group of health experts want you to know that those vitamins may actually increase your risk of cancer.
The US Preventive Services Task Force came to this conclusion after reviewing dozens of studies.
Nearly half of adults in the US take at least one vi amin or mineral supplement on a regular basis. These pills are advertised as a way to promote general health. In some - cases, manufacturers promote them as cancer fighters and heart protectors.
Studies in animals and in laboratory dishes suggest that oxidative (氧化性的) stress contributes to diseases like cancer and heart disease. If so, there is a reason to believe that antioxidants — including beta-carotene, vitamins A, C, and E — could be useful as preventive medicines.
But when the Task Force examined the medical evidence on vitamins, it found “inadequate ( 不 充 分 的 ) evidence” to support the claims that vitamin and mineral supplements benefit healthy adults..
“Cardiovascular(心血管的) disease and cancer have a significant health impact in America, and we all want to find ways to prevent these diseases,” Dr. Virginia Moyer, who heads the Task Force, said in a statement. But so far, she added, the medical evidence does not show that taking vitamins is helpful in this regard.
However, the Task Force did find “adequate evidence” that people with a raised risk for lung cancer actually increase their risk further by taking beta-carotene, a precursor of vitamin A.
The Task Force recommendations of taking vitamins regularly apply to healthy adults aged 50 and older who don't have “special、nutritional needs”. The advice does not apply to children, women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, people with chronic illnesses, or people who have to take supplements because they can't get all their essential nutrients from their diet.
28. Studies in animals and in laboratory dishes find out .
A. ample evidence that taking vitamins are helpful for treating lung cancer
B. cardiovascular disease spreads very fast in America
C. oxidative stress can lead to heart disease and cancer
D. people must take vitamins on a regular basis.
29. What can we conclude from Task Force's findings
A. Scientists want to control cardiovascular disease.
B. In some regard, taking vitamins is not useful.
C. Manufacturers cannot produce medical-use vitamins.
D. Vitamins must be useful to prevent cancer and heart disease.
30. Who can take vitamins regularly according to the advice of the Task Force
A. A 60-year-old healthy worker.
B. A 15-year-old boy with short-sightedness.
C. A34-year-old pregnant lady.
D. A40-year-old man who never eats vegetables or fruits.
31. What's the best title for the text
A. An Inside Look at Vitamins
B. Task Force: Ending to Vitamins
C. Vitamins: To Live or to Kill
D. Taking Vitamins to Prevent Cancer May Fail

Within many workers' lifetimes, jobs will be completely changed by automation(自動化). A recent employment report from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development(OECD), a union consisting of 36 countries across the world, said that within the next two decades half of all jobs will be greatly transformed by technology.
In some cases, that will mean workers losing their jobs completely-the OECD estimates14 percent of jobs will be completely automated in the next two decades, while others, 32percent of jobs, will be greatly different from what they look like now.
Whether jobs are transformed or lost completely to the advance of technology, the OECD says one question rises above all others: are we ready The OECD Employment Outlook does not predict a jobless future. But it does foresee major challenges for the future of work, said the OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurria, in a statement.
While many jobs will be changed or disappear, the OECD says that the change won't necessarily mean fewer jobs for workers. New and skilled jobs also come with new and improved technology. Automation may even create jobs in the short term, say some analysts. The problem is ensuring that current workers are equipped to transition into those jobs now and in the future.
To ensure that workers replaced by robots and other technology can get into a new career, the OECD says that a strong adult training program is necessary. That may involve not only training older workers but also removing the financial burdens of their efforts through subsidies(補貼).
Even with a rapidly changing economy and the development of technology, all we need is a plan., " With the right policies, we can manage these challenges. We face significant transformation, but we have the opportunity and the determination to use this moment and build a future of work that benefits everyone, " said Gurria.
32. What is the OECD, concerned most
A. If jobs, are lost. B. If jobs are changed.
C. If people are prepared. D. If enough jobs are offered.
33. What's the most probable result of automation
A. Fewer jobs. B. A. jobless future.
C. More skilled workers. D. Transformation of most jobs.
34. Which is. NOT suggested to. deal with automation
A. More new jobs. B. Right policies.
C. Training programs. D. Reduced financial burdens.
35. What's Gurria's attitude towards automation
A. Positive. B. Negative.
C. Doubtful. D. Worried

My father and I disagreed about my curfew(晚間在家的時間). He would say I had to be in by 9:30 on weekdays, and 11:00 on weekends, and there was no exception. One day, I took courage to first show my opinion on my curfew. I told him it made me feel like a junior high school kid. He explained that though a curfew might sound like a restriction(限制), it was really about people looking out for one another..
The very next-Friday after that exchange, my dad and I had tickets to see our own town's professional football game. On that day he was driving his car to a nearby city to meet some major clients(客戶) and told me that his getting home and our leaving for the game would be tight.
To make sure we could move off the moment he came back, I got everything prepared. When half an hour had passed from the time when he said he would be home, I understood that he was a little late. But then, nearly a whole hour passed. I was getting upset. We were going to miss the kick-off(開始) ! And why hadn't he phoned me and let me know he was going to be really late As I anxiously stepped the floor, another half hour passed. That was when I got really angry. How inconsiderate(考慮不周的) my father was! We were going to miss the whole game! However, when another half an hour passed, my anger turned to fear. What if something terrible had happened to my dad, like he had a sudden heart attack or was caught in an accident, or something else I began to get really worried, feeling like sitting on pins and needles. I had already called his cell phone about ten times, but there was no answer.
