     Speeding off in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch. But he is in for an unwelcome surprise.
The car is fitted with a remote immobilizer (遠(yuǎn)程控制器) and a radio signal from a control center miles away
will make sure that once the thief turns the engine off, he will not be able to start it again.
     The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car contains a mini-cell phone, a micro-processor and
memory and a GPS satellite positioning receiver. If the car is stolen, a coded (編碼的) cell phone signal will tell
the control center to block the vehicle's engine management system and prevent the engine being restarted.
     In the UK, a set of technical fixes is already making life harder for car thieves. "The pattern of vehicle crime
has changed," says Martyr Randall, a security expert. He says it would only take him a few minutes to teach a
person how to steal a car, using a minimum of tools, but only if the car is more than 10 years old.
     Modern cars are far tougher to steal, as their engine management computer won't allow them to start unless
they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition (點(diǎn)火) key. In the UK, technologies like this have
helped to achieve a 31% drop in vehicle crime since 1997.
     But determined thieves are still managing to find other ways to steal cars, often by getting hold of the owner's
keys. And key theft is responsible for 40% of the thefts of vehicles fitted with a tracking system.
     If the car travels 100 meters without the driver conforming (一致) the ID, the system will send a signal to
an operation center that it has been stolen. The 100-meter minimum avoids false alarm be- cause of some
possible errors of the GPS signal.
     Staff at the center will then contact the owner to confirm that the car really is missing and keep the police
informed of the vehicle's movements via the car's GPS unit.
1. What's the function of the remote immobilizer fitted to the car?
[     ]
A. To help the police make a surprise attack on the car thief.
B. To order the car to lock automatically when stolen.
C. To prevent the car thief from restarting it once it stops.
D. To send a radio signal to inform the car owner of the theft.
2. The underlined sentence "The pattern of vehicle crime has changed" suggests that ____.
[     ]
A. it takes less time for the car thief to do the stealing
B. many self-prepared too]s can be used for car theft
C. the theft becomes more difficult because of modern technology
D. the thief has lost interest in stealing cars over 10 years old
3. ____ is essential in making a modern car tougher to steal.
[     ]
A. A micro-processor
B. A special ID code
C. A special cell phone
D. A GPS satellite positioning receiver
4. Why does the tracking system set a 100-meter minimum before sending an alarm to the operation center?
[     ]
A. To leave time for the operation center to give an alarm.
B. To keep the police informed of the car's movement.
C. To give the driver time to contact the operation center.
D. To allow for possible mistakes in the GPS system.
5. What will the operation center do first after receiving an alarm?
[     ]
A. Start the tracking system.
B. Stop the engine.
C. Contact the owner.
D. Locate the missing car.

It is time for students to sell such things as chocolate bars and greeting cards to raise money for their school, class or club. It is inevitable that they will knock on your door and you will easily hand ever your cash for overpriced items that you really do not want. That is okay, though, because there are many reasons why children should be allowed to raise money for their schools and clubs.
Fundraising(自籌資金) is a great way to help children learn social skills. It is not easy to go up to a complete stranger and ask them for their money. They have to nicely ask for help, show the interested buyer what they have to offer and explain how it will help them in school. If someone refuses to buy an item, that child has to take the failure in stride（從容處理）, and that is a learning lesson as well.
Students can learn how to deal with money by fundraising. Of course, it might seem safer for us to take charge of our children’s earnings from their fundraising before it is turned in to the school. However, by making them keep track of it, count it, and make sure everyone pays the right amount, they are learning an important lesson. Dealing with money is important to know about when they are older.
Fundraising helps improve their schools. It is the child’s school. They have to learn there and grow there. Why not let them help in making it a better place? When one of our local schools lacked funding for sports, the students and parents joined hands to raise that money needed. When they succeeded, they felt they accomplished something important.
Fundraising allows for more life experiences for the child. Most fundraising is done for individual classes and clubs. The raised money is used towards things like parties, trips. The children receive the rewards for their hard work at raising the money. Without fundraising, these field trips and special school memories would be missed.
In a word, fundraising helps children a lot in many ways.

第三部分 閱讀理解
A
Diet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-far diet, vegetable diet… We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically.
Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale (秤) instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.
On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.
The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients. Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet Industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemical that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.
Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.
56. From Paragraph 1, we learn that _________.
A. diet products fail to bring out people’s potential
B. people have difficulty in choosing diet products
C. diet products are misleading people
D. people are fed up with diet products
57. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _________.
A. try out a variety of diet foods    B. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods
C. pay attention to their own eating habits
D. watch their weight rather than their diet
58. In Paragraph 3, “gain comes without pain” probably means _________.
A. losing weight is effortless    B. it costs a lot to lose weight
C. diet products bring no pain    D. diet products are free from calories
59. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products _________.
A. are over-consumed          B. lack basic nutrients
C. are short of chemicals        D. provide too much energy
60. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?





       CP: Central Point   P: Point    SP: Sub-point(次要點(diǎn))   C: Conclusion

閱讀理解
                                                       The Loss of Innocence(純真)
     Innocence is such a precious gift. It's explained as freedom from guilt or wrong doing. Just imagine
never having to worry about anything and having a guilt-free mind. Some people wish to save this kind
of innocence from being lost from childhood to adulthood.
     What would the world be like if innocence were never lost? One way it would benefit humanity is the
lack of hatred (仇恨) among the world. During youth, there may be an occasional argument, even a little
physical fight, but nothing like firing a handgun at a fellow human being. And children are blind towards
the racial differences of others. A kid will hang out with any other kid. It is the lack of innocence and the
ignorance we learn from adults that influence children otherwise. Another benefit is the constant desire for
fun and adventure. With very little if any time at all for fun, the adventurous mind is lost in time with the
responsibilities placed upon adults. If innocence were kept alive, these ambitions would never depart from our lives.
     However, other people actually hate the idea of innocence lasting for ever. They feel that the lack of
organization and mental power of those with innocence would cause extremely destructive consequences
to society in general. A large number of individuals would never have the urge to learn, work, and act
upon the necessary needs for humanity to survive. Without a proper education which is usually provided
by those who no longer live in a world of innocence, people would not have the desire to succeed, get a
good job in life, or provide income for their families, which
would hurt the lives of children.
    The lack of a good education and career would also harm the economy. As long as innocence is kept
alive, no one would be terribly angry at the lack of effort people put out in the workplace, resulting in a
strong decline(減少) in production and quality of needed goods.
     Maybe it is wrong in wanting to save innocence. It sure is a nice thought, though. Perhaps innocence
was meant to be lost. It was god's will to make things the way they are, and there is a good purpose for
everything. All that remains to be said about innocence is to enjoy it while it lasts.

1. The author believes that the loss of innocence in adulthood should be______.
A. avoided  
B. criticized  
C. accepted  
D. encouraged

2. Lifelong innocence would be beneficial to society in that__________.
A. proper education would be provided
B. there would be no racial discrimination
C. there would be more happy families
D. people would realize their childhood dreams

3. According to the author, people with innocence can hurt the economy with their lack of____ .
A. motivational will
B. mental ability
C. adventurous ambitions
D. needed goods

4. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

CP:Central Point P:Point Sp:(次要點(diǎn))C:Conclusion
