【題目】Utopia is a perfect place. It is a place without war, hunger, poverty, or crime. It is a place where the people work together and share. There is no money in Utopia because the people do not need money. They do not have personal possessions because everything belongs to everyone. All of the people are equal in Utopia, and the laws are all fair.
Utopia is not a new place. Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher, described a perfect society in his famous dialogue The Republic. In Plato’s Republic, philosophers were the kings, and every person had a place in the society. In 1516, Sir Thomas More wrote about an island in the Pacific Ocean where everything was perfect. He named the island
“ Utopia”. In 1602, Tommaso Campanella wrote The City in the Sun about a perfect community on the island of Ceylon ( now Sri Lanka ) ; and in 1872, Samuel Butler wrote a novel about a perfect country which he named “ Erewhon”. “ Utopia” is a Greek word that means “ not a place”, and “Erewhon” is the English word “ nowhere” spelled backwards.
Utopia is a perfect place, but it is not a real place. Most ‘real’ Utopias last only a short time. This is because everyone wants to live in it, but no one knows how to make it work. As a result, when we say something is ‘ Utopia’ today, we mean that it is a good idea, but it is not realistic.
【1】Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A. A place without war B. A Good Idea
C. A Perfect Place D. The Utopian Community
【2】The reason why there are no personal possessions in Utopia is that ______.
A. everything belongs to everyone
B. the people don’t need money
C. all of the people are created equal
D. the laws are reasonable
【3】The idea of a perfect society was first suggested by ________.
A. Plato B. Tommaso Campanella
C. Samuel Butler and D. Sir Thomas More
【4】“Utopia”is a word which came from _________
A. English B. Greek C. French D. Chinese
【5】According to the passage, most ‘real’ Utopias last only a short time because _______.
A. no one wants to be a leader
B. no one knows how to make a perfect society
C. it is difficult to collect money
D. everyone wants to live in Utopia

【題目】The US will seek to expand its own oil production in an attempt to reduce dependence on imported oil and bring down fuel prices, President Obama says. New contracts for exploration will be signed in non-protected areas of Alaska and in the Gulf of Mexico.
In his weekly speech, the President insisted the US could reduce its need for imported oil and improve safety. Using his speech to tell Americans that he understood their concerns about rising prices, President Obama focused particularly on the price of fuel, which has risen in recent months.
US consumers have historically enjoyed cheap fuel, but have seen prices rise in recent months even though US oil production in 2010 reached its highest level for seven years.
Although the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 was serious, Mr. Obama said the Gulf remained a key part of the country’s future energy supply.
The President’s proposals (議案) come after Republicans (共和黨人) introduced a series of proposals that would expand and speed up oil and gas production.
The White House has criticized the Republican proposals for safety reasons, but Mr. Obama was clear in his speech that he felt safety and environmental standards could be maintained even though production might rise.
“I believe that we should continue to expand oil production in America — even as we increase safety and environmental standards,” he said.
“As a nation, we should be investing in the clean, renewable sources of energy that are the solution to high gas prices.”
Mr. Obama has previously called for a step-change in energy policy, saying the US must move towards getting 80% of its electricity from clean energy sources by 2035.
【1】Which of the following is NOT included in Mr. Obama’s speech?
A. The dependence on imported oil.
B. Improving safety standards.
C. The reason for the rising oil prices.
D. Expanding oil production.
【2】Mr. Obama thinks the Republican proposals are ______.
A. not safe enough
B. not environmentally friendly
C. practical
D. clear
【3】What can we learn from the text?
A. The US has got most of its electricity from clean energy.
B. US oil production is too small to keep the present low fuel prices.
C. The US produced the most oil in 2010 in its history.
D. The Gulf is still important in energy supply in spite of the oil spill in 2010.
【4】Which of the following can serve as the title?
A. Obama: US will seek oil in Alaska and Gulf of Mexico
B. Obama: US will import less oil to improve safety and environmental standards
C. Obama: the time of high fuel prices will be gone
D. Obama: clean, renewable sources of energy are the solution to high gas price.

【題目】請閱讀下面短文,并按照要求用英語寫一篇 150 詞左右的文章。
Once there lived a very rich and powerful king. All the people in his kingdom were afraid of him. But was he happy? No, he was always ill and unhappy. His money and his power could not help him. The doctors in his kingdom could not cure him either. He was so angry with them that he cut off their heads.
One day two famous doctors from another kingdom came to his palace.
“If you can cure me and make me happy”, said the king.“I will give you all the gold you can carry.”
The first doctor examined the king. He found nothing wrong with him so he said to the king,“You only think you are ill and so make yourself unhappy.”
The king was very angry when he heard this. He told his soldiers to cut off the doctor's head.
The second doctor knew he had to be careful. “Oh, King, you will be well if you wear the shoes of a man who is always happy,”he said. The king was pleased with his answer and thought that the doctor was very wise. He gave the doctor a bag of gold.
The king asked hundreds of people if they were always happy. They all said they were sometimes happy and sometimes sad. At last he met a beggar who said that he was always happy.
“Give me your shoes quickly, ”said the king, “and I will make you a very rich man. ”The beggar laughed, “I am sorry,”he answered,“I never wear shoes!”

【題目】When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate(照亮)me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.
When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say: “Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.
When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair (失望) and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.
For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must tell….”We have never met.
It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist(心理學家),who will only fill up the healing(愈合的)silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.
【1】In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to ______.

C. enjoy writing to each other
