第三部分  閱讀理解（共20小題，每題2分，滿分40分）

The writing of Shakespeare are today little read by young people in Britain．His young readership is limited to those who choose to study literature at university．

Shakespeare’s work, together with most other classics, is seen as remote, and written in a 400-year- old version of English that is about as inviting as toothache．

Still, in British schools, it is necessary to study the poet, and when something is made compulsory, usually the result is boredom, resentment（憎恨） or both．

This was my experience of the classics at school．But when I reached my late teenage years, I had a change of heart．Like every other young person since the dawn of time, the world confused me．I wanted answers, so I turned to books to find them．

I went on to take a PhD in literature and have taught it in Britain and China．I have never regretted it．There is something in literature that people want, even if they don’t read books．You see this in the popularity of TV and movie adaptations of great works, the recent film version of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice being a case in point．These popular adaptations may help increase people’s interest in the classics．

Reading a simplified Romeo and Juliet may perhaps lead to a reading of Shakespeare’s actual plays．If that is the case, then I welcome the trend．But do not make the mistake of thinking that it is the same thing．Shakespeare is a poet．His greatness is in his language．Reading someone else’s rewriting of his works is like peeling a banana, throwing away the fruit, and eating the skin．Take on the original．It really is worth the effort．

1．Which of the following is true according to the passage?

     A．The language used in classics is no longer in use today．

     B．British students usually find compulsory reading dull．

         C．Only those studying literature read Shakespeare’s works．

         D．For British people, Shakespeare’s works are no longer classics．

2．According to the passage, the writer _____ ．

         A．has liked literary classics since an early age

         B．was forced to read the classics for a PhD

         C．turned to literature to seek answers in his teens

         D．thinks only people who read books like literature

3．The underlined phrase “a case in point” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “_____”．

         A．a(chǎn) great hit                    B．a(chǎn) good example

         C．a(chǎn) movie adaptation                  D．a(chǎn) popular phenomenon

4．What does the writer intend to tell us in the last paragraph?

         A．The fruit of a banana is more useful than its skin．

         B．The rewriting trend does more harm than good．

         C．Readers should try to read the original versions．

         D．Readers need to learn the language in the classics．

Culture means any human behavior that is learned in human society. All of the meaningful parts of a culture are passed on to different generations through tradition or social learning. From this view point, all human groups have a culture. Culture exists in agricultural as well as industrialized societies.

Culture is necessary for the survival and existence of human beings as human beings. Practically everything humans know, think, value, feel, and do is learned through taking part in a socio-cultural system. This statement is well supported by some well-written cases. Here is one of the cases of children growing up apart from human society. In the province of Kidnaper in India, the director of a children’s home was told by local villagers that there were “ghost（鬼）” in the forest. Upon looking into the case, the director found that two children, one about eight years old and the other about six years old, appeared to have been living with a pack of wolves in the forest. These children were the ghosts described by the local people. In his diary, the director describes his first view of Kamala(as the older child was named) and Amala(the name given to the younger child).

Kamala was a terrible-looking being—the head, a big ball of something covering the shoulders. Close at its heels there came another terrible creature exactly like the first, but smaller in size. Their eyes were very bright and sharp, unlike human eyes. They were very fond of raw meat and raw milk. Gradually, as they got stronger, they began going on all fours, and afterwards began to run on all fours like squirrels. Children learn human language in the same way they learn other kinds of human behavior by taking part in a cultural community. They learn a certain human language as well as certain kinds of human behavior through their membership in a certain cultural community.

1. From the passage we can learn that               .

A. human beings can develop human abilities only if they are raised by their biological parents

B. Amala and Kamala were raised in forest by ghosts

C. human beings will not grow up human unless they are raised by human beings in human culture

D. culture refers only to the high art and classical music of a particular society

2. Who were the “ghosts” of the Kidnapper forest seen by the local villagers?

A. They were two children Amala and Kamala, who ran on fours.

B. They were two squirrels, Amala and Kamala, who ran on fours.

C. They were two young wolves, Amala and Kamala, whose eyes were bright and sharp.

D. They were two children, Amala and Kamala, who were growing up in a children’s home.

3. How would you understand the description by the director “they began going on all fours,” in his

diary?

A. They began to continue with all their four eyes.

B. They started walking with their four feet.

C. They began going with their four hands.

D. They started walking with both their hands and feet.

4. Which of the following do you think is the best title to this passage?

A. Wolf-children                                   B. Culture and Human Behavior

C. Culture and Language Learning              D. A director’s Diary

Today when a man steps onto the moon, or something new and important happens, the world learns about it immediately. What did the newspapers say about that first flight in 1903? Strangely enough, they said hardly anything about it at all. There were only a few reports about it in the papers. These reports said very little. Some of the things they said were not even correct.

The Rights went on with their work. In 1905 they built an even better machine, “Flyer No. Three”. They were able to stay up in the air for half an hour and more in this machine. They were ale to turn and climb in the air. Farmers, travelers on the roads around Dayton often saw them flying. But when these people told newspapermen about it, they refused to believe them.
