第三部分: 閱讀理解 (共15小題; 51-60每小題1分, 61-65每小題2分, 滿分20分)
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。
A
The Juneteenth celebration, held every year on June 19th, is a reminder of the end of slavery in the United States. The freeing of slaves started with Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation (解放宜言) on September 22, 1862. Emancipation means setting free from another’s power. When slaves were emancipated, they were made into free men and women. The Emancipation Proclamation became official on January 1,1863, but it wasn’t until two and a half year later on June 19, 1865, that the last of the slaves in Texas were freed. Some slaves stayed on the plantations, and kept on working.The difference was that they were now free workers, and were paid. But many more left the plantations, as they felt that this was the first step toward freedom. Some went north and others headed off to find family in neighboring states. It was a very insecure time for the former slaves as they tried to fit into a society that had previously only thought of them as slaves. The celebration of June 19th every year gave stability to the lives of the members of the black community as they established themselves. Soon the June 19th celebration was known as“Juneteenth”.
However, towards the turn of the century, the Juneteenth celebrations began to die down. Young people didn’t feel the same connection with the emancipation of the slaves.During the time of the Depression many people moved into cities, and it was difficult for them to take time off to celebrate Juneteenth. Then, during the Civil Rights movements of the 1950s and 1960s, Juneteenth celebrations gathered new strength. On January 1, 1980,the Juneteenth celebrations received status as an official state holiday in Texas. Since then several states have followed Texas in making Juneteenth a state holiday.
Juneteenth is a time for African-Americans and others living in the community to get together and celebrate their freedom. But why is this celebration still important today To many African-Americans, Juneteenth is as important as any country’s Independence Day.It is a celebration of freedom and togetherness.
51. What is the purpose of the Juneteenth celebration
A. To memorize heroes of the Civil War.
B. To honor the liberation of the slaves.
C. To celebrate the Independence Day.
D. To bring African-Americans together again.
52. Why do many people left the plantations after they were free
A. They thought they were not well-paid.
B. They wanted to find a safe place.
C. They had no place to stay there.
D. They thought it as the first step towards freedom.
53. What is the difference for the former slaves working on the plantations after June 19,1865
A. They were free workers doing a paying job.
B. They became owners of the plantations.
C. They naturally fitted into the society
D. They didn’t get real freedom
54. When did Juneteenth celebrations become official in Texas
A. On September 22, 1862. B. On January 1, 1863
C. On June 19, 1865. D. On January 1, 1980
55. What can we learn from the text
A. It took three years for all slaves to get freedom.
B. Juneteenth celebrations have been popular all the time.
C. African-Americans placed a high value on Juneteenth.
D. Depression boosted the development of Juneteenth celebrations.
B
An unpleasant smell floated into my nose as the bowl of fried stinky tofu (臭豆腐) settled onto my grandmother’s dinner table. I immediately sat back. The smell ruined my appetite, and I pushed the dish away.
“It’s supposed to stink. Just give it a try!” my grandmother said.
Holding my breath, I unwillingly took a bite. To my surprise, the tofu beneath the fried skin was warm, soft, and mouthwatering. Since then, whenever I visited my grandmother’s house, I would rush to the kitchen for the stinky tofu with excitement.Thus, stinky tofu became more than a household tradition. It became my favorite dish.
Along with the stinky tofu, I would meet my Uncle Chan on every visit. As an immature boy,I never understood my uncle’s condition of Down syndrome(唐氏綜合征).He was an unfriendly and terrible creature in my eyes. He constantly walked around the house, talking to himself. Whenever he was within view,I would runaway in fear.
However, one day, my view of my uncle suddenly changed. I was just getting out of my bed when I heard soft steps approaching. It was my uncle. My muscles froze. He slowly sat next to me and touched my face gently, as a mother would stroke (撫摸)a baby.A wide smile emerged from his blank expression. How beautiful his smile was! I could not help but smile back. My fear disappeared gradually and my muscles relaxed. For the first time, I could see softness and warmth in his eyes.
My uncle very much resembles stinky tofu. Stinky tofu smells unpleasant on the outside, yet feels warm and soft on the inside. Like stinky tofu, my uncle’s Down syndrome made me keep my distance at first. Yet, I learned that deep inside, he is harmless and has a loving nature.
Some people tend to look down upon disabled people and regard them as unfit for a regular life. As I was unable to see through the outer surface of the tofu, these people are unable to see through the surface of prejudice. As a result, they judge the disabled with one glance.
The outside and inside of the stinky tofu exist as two extremely different worlds.Perhaps that is what makes it such a tasty dish. Not only is it delicious, stinky tofu offers a valuable lesson: never judge people at first glance, for true beauty comes from the inside.
56. What was the author’s initial reaction to the smell of the stinky tofu
A. He was so excited as to try it at once.
B. He felt sick and moved the dish out of his reach.
C. He was curious and wanted to know more about it.
D. He was indifferent and didn’t care about the smell.
57. When did the author’s initial impression of her Uncle Chan change
A. After he tasted the stinky tofu for the first time.
B. When he first met him at her grandmother’s house.
C. During a personal encounter where he showed him kindness.
D. When he learned more about his condition of Down syndrome.
58. How did the author’s idea of her Uncle Chan change over time
A. He became more afraid of him as he grew older.
B. He always saw him as a strange and frightful person.
C. He hardly understood his condition and always avoided him.
D. He feared him due to his condition at first but saw his virtues later.
59. The comparison between stinky tofu and the author’s uncle serves to ________.
A. describe a precious childhood memory
B. highlight the nature of Uncle Chan
C. introduce a traditional Chinese food
D. analyze the family relationship
60. What is the main message the author wants to convey in writing the passage
A. That stinky tofu is a delicious and valuable dish.
B. That family traditions are important and should be cherished.
C. That disabled people should be treated with sympathy and pity.
D. That one shouldn’t judge a person based on outward appearances.
C
“More and more data are made available to drivers through in-vehicle systems.However, it’s not safe or practical to inform drivers of the information unless you know the state of the driver,” said Dr Bashar Ahmad from Cambridge’s Department of Engineering.
Ahmad, together with other researchers, developed an algorithm (算法) to address this problem. The algorithm analyzes the driver’s behaviour, road conditions etc. to measure the driver’s workload so that the driver and the in-vehicle systems such as navigation (導航) and advanced driver assistance systems(ADAS) could interact at the right time. “Driving in an unfamiliar area may mean a high workload, so we should avoid flustering the driver then, while driving in our neighborhood may involve a lower workload, making it the right time for a message to appear on a screen,” said Ahmad.
To measure drivers’ workload, the researchers first collected, in an automated way,drivers’ subjective workload information during driving. For the experiment, a phone showing a route on a navigation app was fixed to the car, next to a small LED ring light that would flash at regular periods. Participants all followed the same route through a mix of rural, urban and main roads. They were asked to push a finger-worn button whenever the LED light turned red and they perceived they were in a low-workload situation.
Video analysis of the experiment, paired with the data from the buttons, allowed the researchers to identify high-workload situations. The researchers used the on-road data to develop a machine learning framework to assess drivers based on their average workload,and a Bayesian filtering approach (貝葉斯濾波法) to estimate the drivers’ real-time workload.
“Most machine learning applications like this are trained on data from a particular driver, but this application enables us to adjust the models accordingly using a simple Bayesian filtering technique,” said Ahmad. ” It can easily adjust to different road types and conditions, or different drivers using the same car.”
“This research is vital for understanding the impact of our design from a user’ s perspective, so that we can continually improve safety and driving experiences,” said Senior Technical Specialist Dr Lee Skrypchuk.
61. What is the main function of Ahmad’s algorithm
A. Assessing people’s driving skills.
B. Stimulating drivers’ best driving state.
C. Collecting traffic information from surrounding areas.
D. Finding the appropriate time for driver-vehicle interactions.
62. What does the underlined word “flustering” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Blaming. B. Monitoring. C. Disturbing. D. Restricting.
63. What did pressing a finger-worn button indicate in the experiment
A. The driver requested a speed increase.
B. The driver was in a relaxed driving state.
C. The driver had switched on the headlights.
D. The driver encountered complex road conditions.
64. What distinguishes this machine learning application from many others
A. It is highly adaptable. B. It is of amazing accuracy.
C. It needs simple data processing. D. It is limited to specific drivers
65. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Machine Learning for Improving Road Safety
B. ADAS:A Model for Future Autonomous Driving
C. The Wide Application of New In-Vehicle Systems
D. Autonomous Vehicles: Redefining the Driving Experience

閱讀下面短文，并按照題目要求用英語回答問題。
My name is Clara. I still remember that chilly December day, sitting in science class.I’d finished a worksheet early and picked up a TIME for Kids magazine. A piece of news caught my eye: NASA was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover(探測器).Before I even knew anything else about it, a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind:Curiosity.
I couldn’t wait for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay. That afternoon,I raced home, sat down at the computer, and typed until my fingers ached. “Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone’s mind....”
Five months later, my mom received a phone call, and immediately, a wide smile spread
across her face.
On August 5,2012, at 10:31 p. m., the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars, and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA.
Curiosity is such an important part of who I am. I have always been fascinated by the stars, the planets, the sky and the universe. I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours. She’ d tell me stories and point out the stars. Grandma lived in China, thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas, but the stars kept us together even when we were apart. They were always there, yet there was so much I didn’t know about them. That’s what I love so much about space.
People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mars. My answer is simple:because we’ re curious. We human beings do not just hole up in one place. We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon.
86. How did Clara get the news about the essay contest (no more than 10 words)
87. Why did Clara have a front-row seat in NASA (no more than 10 words)
88. What does Clara remember about the time spent with Grandma (no more than 15words)
89. What does the underlined phrase “hole up” mean (1 word)
90. In your opinion, why is curiosity important (no more than 20 words)
