Section Ⅳ　Writing an application letter
Ⅰ.閱讀理解
　　There is a dangerous view in today’s society， and it is a restriction to happiness， success， and growth.The view states that human beings are inner fragile （內心脆弱的） and that the only way to be happy and successful in life is to protect oneself by avoiding misfortune.
　　Not only are those statements false， but the actions we take believing them — to be “protective” also usually limit happiness and even stop personal and professional growth.Take sports as an example， seldom do those who play the game of life not to lose ever really win.
　　Rather than fear and try to avoid all misfortune， perhaps we should accept the misfortune and the occasional crises in life and prepare for them.As a muscle grows stronger with stress， so can people， teams， organizations， even communities.Crisis reveals true strength.
　　Sports psychologists Fletcher and Sarkar have studied Olympic gold medal winners.They conclude， “Indeed， most of the participants argued that if they had not experienced certain types of stressors at specific times， including highly demanding misfortunes， they would not have won their gold medals.”
　　Psychologists Richard Tedeschi and Lawrence Calhoun created the term “posttraumatic growth”.They describe it as the experience of positive change that occurs as a result of highly challenging life crises.It is shown in a variety of ways， including an increased appreciation for life in general， more meaningful interpersonal relationships， an increased sense of personal strength， changed priorities， and a richer existential and spiritual life.
　　The remarkable success stories that can arise after moments of great challenge and failure are countless.Thomas Edison failed thousands of times trying to create a light bulb filament （燈絲） that would light and burn in a consistent manner， but finally created the world’s first practical light bulb.Harland Sanders developed the brand Kentucky Fried Chicken （KFC） in his 60s while recovering from a failed career as a lawyer.There are thousands of other lesser-known people， whose lives are characterized by key moments of great recovery from difficulty.Let us understand that growth arises from challenge and even failure.The myth of fragility and overprotection keeps us all from realizing our full potential.
1.What does the “dangerous view” say about people？（　　）
A.People are born shy.
B.People are afraid of misfortune.
C.People want wealth.
D.People are often in need of help.
2.What is the author’s opinion about misfortune？（　　）
A.It’s a must in life and the more， the better.
B.It mostly comes from our fragile inner heart.
C.It’s often met by world famous sports stars.
D.It should be treated with the right attitude.
3.What does the two psychologists’ term imply？（　　）
A.A failed life is not worth living at all.
B.People need always lead a worriless life.
C.Positive changes will occur after crises.
D.Try not to express our opinions in public.
4.Why are the stories of Thomas Edison and Harland Sanders inspiring？（　　）
A.They made great inventions.
B.They got remarkable support.
C.They didn’t easily give up.
D.They restricted their potential.
Ⅱ.語法填空
　　Seeing these “gardens” is like looking at a universe in a plant pot.The miniature （微型的） branches spread and twist， 17.　　　　　　 （demonstrate） the beauty of nature， so as to allow viewers to stop and reflect on the circle of life.The potted landscape of penjing 6.　　　　　　 （be） a representative of top-ranking garden art ever since its existence.
　　7.　　　　　　 （expected）， the Suzhou-style penjing cultivation technique was listed as a national-level intangible cultural heritage （非物質文化遺產） in 2011.8.　　　　　　 penjing， Suzhou gardens wouldn’t be as charming as they are today.Once the construction of a garden is completed， its buildings are set， but planting can grow and change， which makes gardens 9.　　　　　　 （live）.
　　The history of penjing 10.　　　　　　 （date） back to the Tang Dynasty when the great poet Bai Juyi used some stones 11.　　　　　　 （create） a miniature landscape in pots.And the Ming Dynasty marked a boom in the economy of Suzhou， the very period 12.　　　　　　 turned the city into a major cultural center.Because of that long history， Suzhou-style penjing is often seen as 13.　　　　　　 fundamental school of Chinese planting art.
　　Penjing works are beautiful but people think that they are owned by the rich.However， only when they are enjoyed by general 14.　　　　　　 （consume） can they benefit from being part of people’s wider modern artistic taste.
Ⅲ.讀后續寫
　　閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
　　Three months later was the Middle School Championship Baseball Game of the spring season！ The winners would all get trophies （獎杯）， and Jonas was determined to bring home a trophy to put on his shelf for he had never won one before.
　　He insisted on practicing in the stadium with friends every day.Day in and day out， the gloves became worn-out.Jonas thought，“I want a pair of new baseball gloves for better practice！”
　　Jonas passed by a store and saw a pair of delicate gloves， which cost thirty-five dollars.But when Jonas asked for the new baseball gloves， his mother only sighed.“Your birthday isn’t until July，” she said.“If you want the gloves sooner than that， you will have to buy it yourself.If you want something， earn it by yourself.”
　　Jonas thought hard.He was too young to drive to work like Dad， and he couldn’t turn his bedroom into an office to work at home like Mom.He went to his favorite thinking spot to look at the bird feeder in his backyard.
　　As Jonas was thinking about getting a job， it began to snow.At first there were only a few flakes （雪花）， but soon the ground turned white.
　　“I know！” cried Jonas.“I’ll shovel （鏟） the sidewalks on snow days.If I’m fast， I can do a lot of houses and make a lot of money.”
　　So Jonas put on his warmest sweater and fastened the button of his winter coat.He also added scarf， gloves and a hat.Then he went into the garage to grab a shovel.
　　Jonas started next door.He rang the bell and asked Mr Travers if he would like his sidewalks shoveled.“Yes，” said Mr Travers.“But you should wait until it stops snowing before you start or you will have to do it twice.”
　　“I’ll be back！” said Jonas.He went around the block to see who would like their walks shoveled after the storm.He had eight customers by the time he got back to his own house.
注意：1.續寫詞數應為150左右；
2.請按如下格式作答。
　　When it stopped snowing， Jonas grabbed his shovel and got to work.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　
　　Tired but happy， Jonas looked at the forty dollars earned from his work.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　
Section Ⅳ　Writing an application letter
Ⅰ.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇議論文。成長源于挑戰甚至失敗。錯誤地認為自己很脆弱、需要過度保護會使我們無法充分發揮自己的潛力。
1.B　細節理解題。根據第一段內容可知，“危險的觀點”認為人們害怕不幸。
2.D　觀點態度題。根據第三段第一句可知，作者認為應該以正確的態度對待生活中的不幸。
3.C　細節理解題。根據第五段前兩句可知，posttraumatic growth暗示著危機過后會有積極的變化。
4.C　推理判斷題。根據最后一段內容可推知，托馬斯·愛迪生和哈蘭德·桑德斯的故事鼓舞人心是因為他們沒有輕易放棄。
Ⅱ.
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了盆景的相關信息。
5.demonstrating　考查非謂語動詞。分析句子結構可知，空處是非謂語動詞，與句子主語The miniature （微型的） branches構成邏輯上的主謂關系，故用動詞-ing形式demonstrating作狀語。
6.has been　考查動詞的時態和主謂一致。根據時間狀語ever since its existence可知，此處應用現在完成時；主語為The potted landscape of penjing，表示第三人稱單數概念。故填has been。
7.Expectedly　考查詞形轉換。分析句子結構可知，空處位于句首，修飾整個句子，應用副詞，句首單詞首字母要大寫。故填Expectedly。
8.Without　考查介詞。根據句意可知，此處表示“如果沒有盆景，蘇州園林就不會像今天這樣迷人”，故填Without。注意首字母大寫。
9.lively/alive　考查詞形轉換。此處考查固定句式“make＋sb/sth＋形容詞”。根據句意可知，此處表示“有活力的”，故填形容詞lively/alive。
10.dates　考查動詞的時態和主謂一致。此處陳述客觀事實，應用一般現在時；主語The history of penjing 表示第三人稱單數概念，謂語動詞應用單數形式。故填dates。
11.to create　考查非謂語動詞。use sth to do sth“用某物做某事”，是固定短語。
12.that　考查定語從句。分析句子結構可知，空處引導定語從句，修飾先行詞period，從句中缺少主語，又由于先行詞前有the very修飾，故只能用that引導。
13.a　考查冠詞。school為可數名詞，此處表泛指，且fundamental的發音以輔音音素開頭，故填a。
14.consumers　考查名詞的單復數。根據句意可知，此處表示“消費者”，且表復數概念，故填consumers。
Ⅲ.
　　When it stopped snowing， Jonas grabbed his shovel and got to work.Standing on Mr Traver’s sidewalks， initially， Jonas was sort of clumsy， but soon he became so expert that it took only 20 minutes to shovel the snow to the sides of the road.When Mr Travers handed Jonas a 5-dollar bill with satisfaction， his face cracked into a smile.Soaked with sweat， he even took off his winter clothes.Waving goodbye， Jonas headed for the second client’s， doing the work in the same order he talked to his neighbors.3 hours flashed by before he knew it.With all the work finished， each neighbour gave him a thumb-up， as well as the reward， which added up to 40 dollars.
　　Tired but happy， Jonas looked at the forty dollars earned from his work.It was enough for the gloves.Hardly had Jonas taken the new baseball gloves in the store when he began to practice.His perfect performance won the opportunity to take part in the championship Baseball Game.Hard practice paid off； he and his friends won the first prize.When he took his trophy home and put it on his shelf， his mother spotted he had become a maturer teenager， who could cope with problems life held in store for him.

Ⅰ.閱讀理解
　　There is a dangerous view in today’s society， and it is a restriction
to happiness， success， and growth.The view states that human beings
are inner fragile （內心脆弱的） and that the only way to be happy and
successful in life is to protect oneself by avoiding misfortune.
　　Not only are those statements false， but the actions we take believing
them — to be “protective” also usually limit happiness and even stop
personal and professional growth.Take sports as an example， seldom do
those who play the game of life not to lose ever really win.
　　Rather than fear and try to avoid all misfortune， perhaps we should
accept the misfortune and the occasional crises in life and prepare for
them.As a muscle grows stronger with stress， so can people， teams，
organizations， even communities.Crisis reveals true strength.
　　Sports psychologists Fletcher and Sarkar have studied Olympic gold
medal winners.They conclude， “Indeed， most of the participants
argued that if they had not experienced certain types of stressors at specific
times， including highly demanding misfortunes， they would not have
won their gold medals.”
　　Psychologists Richard Tedeschi and Lawrence Calhoun created the
term “posttraumatic growth”.They describe it as the experience of
positive change that occurs as a result of highly challenging life crises.It is
shown in a variety of ways， including an increased appreciation for life in
general， more meaningful interpersonal relationships， an increased
sense of personal strength， changed priorities， and a richer existential
and spiritual life.
　　The remarkable success stories that can arise after moments of great
challenge and failure are countless.Thomas Edison failed thousands of
times trying to create a light bulb filament （燈絲） that would light and
burn in a consistent manner， but finally created the world’s first
practical light bulb.Harland Sanders developed the brand Kentucky Fried
Chicken （KFC） in his 60s while recovering from a failed career as a
lawyer.There are thousands of other lesser-known people， whose lives
are characterized by key moments of great recovery from difficulty.Let us
understand that growth arises from challenge and even failure.The myth of
fragility and overprotection keeps us all from realizing our full potential.

為自己很脆弱、需要過度保護會使我們無法充分發揮自己的潛力。

語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了盆景的相關信息。
5. demonstrating　考查非謂語動詞。分析句子結構可知，空處是非謂
語動詞，與句子主語The miniature （微型的） branches構成邏輯上的
主謂關系，故用動詞-ing形式demonstrating作狀語。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了盆景的相關信息。
6. has been　考查動詞的時態和主謂一致。根據時間狀語ever since its
existence可知，此處應用現在完成時；主語為The potted landscape of
penjing，表示第三人稱單數概念。故填has been。
7. Expectedly　考查詞形轉換。分析句子結構可知，空處位于句首，
修飾整個句子，應用副詞，句首單詞首字母要大寫。故填
Expectedly。
8. Without　考查介詞。根據句意可知，此處表示“如果沒有盆景，
蘇州園林就不會像今天這樣迷人”，故填Without。注意首字母大寫。
9. lively/alive　考查詞形轉換。此處考查固定句式“make＋sb/sth＋形
容詞”。根據句意可知，此處表示“有活力的”，故填形容詞
lively/alive。
10. dates　考查動詞的時態和主謂一致。此處陳述客觀事實，應用一
般現在時；主語The history of penjing 表示第三人稱單數概念，謂語動
詞應用單數形式。故填dates。
11. to create　考查非謂語動詞。use sth to do sth“用某物做某事”，
是固定短語。
12. that　考查定語從句。分析句子結構可知，空處引導定語從句，修
飾先行詞period，從句中缺少主語，又由于先行詞前有the very修飾，
故只能用that引導。
13. a　考查冠詞。school為可數名詞，此處表泛指，且fundamental的
發音以輔音音素開頭，故填a。
14. consumers　考查名詞的單復數。根據句意可知，此處表示“消費
者”，且表復數概念，故填consumers。
Ⅲ.讀后續寫
　　閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構
成一篇完整的短文。
　　Three months later was the Middle School Championship Baseball
Game of the spring season！ The winners would all get trophies （獎
杯）， and Jonas was determined to bring home a trophy to put on his
shelf for he had never won one before.
　　He insisted on practicing in the stadium with friends every day.Day in
and day out， the gloves became worn-out.Jonas thought，“I want a pair
of new baseball gloves for better practice！”
　　Jonas passed by a store and saw a pair of delicate gloves， which cost
thirty-five dollars.But when Jonas asked for the new baseball gloves， his
mother only sighed.“Your birthday isn’t until July，” she said.“If
you want the gloves sooner than that， you will have to buy it yourself.If
you want something， earn it by yourself.”
　　Jonas thought hard.He was too young to drive to work like Dad， and
he couldn’t turn his bedroom into an office to work at home like
Mom.He went to his favorite thinking spot to look at the bird feeder in his
backyard.
　　As Jonas was thinking about getting a job， it began to snow.At first
there were only a few flakes （雪花）， but soon the ground turned
white.
　　“I know！” cried Jonas.“I’ll shovel （鏟） the sidewalks on
snow days.If I’m fast， I can do a lot of houses and make a lot of
money.”
　　So Jonas put on his warmest sweater and fastened the button of his
winter coat.He also added scarf， gloves and a hat.Then he went into the
garage to grab a shovel.
　　Jonas started next door.He rang the bell and asked Mr Travers if he
would like his sidewalks shoveled.“Yes，” said Mr Travers.“But you
should wait until it stops snowing before you start or you will have to do it
twice.”
　　“I’ll be back！” said Jonas.He went around the block to see who
would like their walks shoveled after the storm.He had eight customers by
the time he got back to his own house.
注意：1.續寫詞數應為150左右；
2. 請按如下格式作答。
When it stopped snowing， Jonas grabbed his shovel and got to
work. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　
　　Tired but happy， Jonas looked at the forty dollars earned from his
work. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　When it stopped snowing， Jonas grabbed his shovel and got to
work.Standing on Mr Traver’s sidewalks， initially， Jonas was sort
of clumsy， but soon he became so expert that it took only 20 minutes
to shovel the snow to the sides of the road.When Mr Travers handed
Jonas a 5-dollar bill with satisfaction， his face cracked into a
smile.Soaked with sweat， he even took off his winter clothes.Waving
goodbye， Jonas headed for the second client’s， doing the work in
the same order he talked to his neighbors.3 hours flashed by before he
knew it.With all the work finished， each neighbour gave him a thumb-
up， as well as the reward， which added up to 40 dollars.
參考范文：
　　Tired but happy， Jonas looked at the forty dollars earned from his
work.It was enough for the gloves.Hardly had Jonas taken the new
baseball gloves in the store when he began to practice.His perfect
performance won the opportunity to take part in the championship
Baseball Game.Hard practice paid off； he and his friends won the first
prize.When he took his trophy home and put it on his shelf， his
mother spotted he had become a maturer teenager， who could cope
with problems life held in store for him.
