We  37  often in the hallways when we were ing or going. I  38  spoke, but the only   39  I ever got was a hello from the four – year – old girl.

I usually go out for breakfast and one day when I  40  they were just ing from their apartment and the little girl was holding the door   41  for the others. I  42  in the car doing unnecessary things because I didn’t like to be snubbed（冷落）. The parents were   43  her to hurry and get in the car, I looked up and saw the little girl was   44  holding the door open,  45  for me.

I hurried as much as I could and   46  her. She was smiling from ear to ear.

Prison Break is a huge hit thanks to its handsome star, Wentworth Miller. His character, Michael Scofield, is the engine that drives the show.

Having committed a crime to get into prison and break out with his innocent brother, Michael Scofield is one of the most interesting personalities on TV today. But what about the man behind the character?

Miller,35, is a hard guy to figure out. He does not come from a normal background and has never lived his life in a typical way.

Miller didn’t take direct path to fame and fortune. He graduated from Princeton University in 1995, not with a degree in theatre of film, but in English. He didn’t even act when he was in college. His only performance experience was in his university’s singing group. Yet , at graduation Miller still decided to make the move to Hollywood.

Miller has always been different. Although he is American, he was in Britain when his father was studying there. His family background is also a special mix of cultures. “My father is black and my mother is white. That means I have always been caught in the middle. I could be either one, which can make you feel out of place,” Miller says.

Following his unusual path, Miller did not start trying out for films and TV shows when he first went to Hollywood. Instead, he worked as a lowly production assistant. Not what you would expect from a Princeton graduate. However, it all paid off for Miller in the end. 

In 2002, Miller played a role in the drama Dinotopia（《恐龍帝國》）. He starred as a thoughtful and shy man. Producers remembered his performance when they were casting Prison Break two years later. With a golden globe nomination（提名）and another season of Prison Break on his resume, Miller seems ready to take over all of Hollywood. 

1．What does the passage mainly talk about?

       A．Michael Scofield in Prison Break .

       B．Hollywood’s recent big hit—Prison Break.

       C．Miller’s unusual path to fame and fortune.

       D．The man who will take over all of the world.

2．The writer thinks “Miller is a hard guy to figure out” because_______.

       A．it’s difficult to tell him from others

       B．he is a shy man and hard to cooperate with

       C．he always has ideas hard for people to understand

       D．his family background and life experience are very special

3．Which of the following statements is put in the right order?

       a．Miller did not act in any of the films or TV shows in Hollywood.

       b．Miller worked as a lowly production assistant.

       c．Miller played a role in the drama Dinotopia.

       d．Miller joined in his university’s singing group.

       A．d－a－b－c     B．a－b－c－d     C．b－a－c－d   D．d－c－b－a

4．Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined sentence “it all paid off for Miller in the end”?

       A．Miller put a lot of extra work for his final success.

       B．Miller gained fame and fortune at last with his first film.

       C．Miller finally succeeded even if he has been in low position.

       D．Miller managed to pay off his debts with his small income in the end.

5．Which of the following statements is TRUE about Miller?

       A．He is chosen to play the Michael Scofield due to his interesting personality.

       B．His performance in Dinotopia makes some contributions to his success.

       C．He has the same experience with the character Michael Scofield.

       D．He is angry about his being born into a mixed-cultural family.

第二節(jié) 信息匹配（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）

請閱讀下列相關信息，并按照要求匹配信息。請在答題卡上將對應題號的相應選項字母涂黑。

以下是幾種舞蹈的介紹：

     A, Ballroom dancing

     Although mainly popular in Latin America, it is now gaining quite a following all over the world.  Examples of the are the cha-cha, tango and foxtrot. Although you're basically required to master the fundamental steps, freestyle dancing is accepted and even encouraged for intermediate  (中級的)  and professional dancers.

     B. Jazz

     It is described as the dance that has almost all forms of dancing. It requires flexibility and grace. It emphasizes all nuances (細微差別) of body movement, so dancers are generally encouraged to wear tight fitting clothes to ensure that not even the smallest shift of the body will go unnoticed。

     C. Aerobics

     Technically, it's not a dance but since it still involves body movement and rhythm, let's put it in the list all the same. Aerobics is more suited to those who need to exercise but are easily bored by the more common workouts like jogging or sweating on the treadmill. Aerobics is also a good stepping stone for the more demanding forms of dancing because it improves your coordination.

     D. Ballet

     Lithe, flexible, graceful, elegant, poised ( 平衡的) － if you're not all of those then you shouldn't choose it. In ballet, each movement is an expression of a specific emotion so it must be done precisely and without flaw. As a rifle, ballet dancers should also be small and slender.

     E. Hip Hop

It is the most popular form of dancing of today's time, thanks to stars like Jennifer Lopez and Nelly. Hip hop is also known as street grooves and preferred by but not limited to teenagers and young adults because of its choreography (舞蹈設計). Hip hop is a good and fun place to start for amateurs.

     F. Belly

     Want to make your guy admire and gain a sexy belly at the same time? Then this Eastern dance is the answer to all your problems. Although all the shaking and bending can be somewhat exhausting, just remind yourself of your objectives and you'll be A-okay.

請閱讀以下人物的信息，然后為他們匹配合適的舞蹈。

     56. Mark is a young and creative schoolboy, who is an amateur of dancing. But he just enjoys the dancing which can help him express himself freely with his self-designed steps, When he shows his dance to others, he will feel very happy and proud.

     57. Roy is a little fat. He tried to do some exercise to lose weight. But he felt bored when jogging.  So he wants to find a new way, which can not only help him keep fit but also lay the base for learning some forms of dancing.

     58. Claudia is a dance lover, who likes all kinds of dances. She has learned dancing for six months and has mastered some basic steps. Now she wants to improve her dancing skills and learn two kinds of Latin American dances.

     59. Alice is a graceful and slim young girl, who has a good sense of balance. She hopes she could be a great dancer when she grows up. So now she is planning to choose a kind of dance that is suitable for her.

     60. Joan often went out for fun with her friends, but now she isn't willing to do that because of her slightly protruding (突出的) belly. In order to be sexy and slim again, she'll try a kind of dance so that she can regain her confidence.

. I didn’t quite follow you. What was it ____ you just said about the subject?

A. what         B. which          C. that        D. how

In America, when people say “man’s best friend”, they don’t mean another person. Instead, they are talking about a lovely animal: A dog! These words show the friendship between people and animals. Dogs and other pets can give happiness to people’s lives. Some people think of their pets as their children. A few even leave all their money to their pets when they die!

Animals can help people, too. Dogs can be taught to become the” eyes” for a blind person or “ears” for a deaf person. Scientists have found that pets help people live longer! They make people happier, too. Because of that, animals are brought into hospitals for “visit”.

Americans hold “Be-Kind-to-Animals Week” in the first week of May.

    Pet shows are held during the week. Even if you don’t live in America, you, too, can do this. How? First, think about how animals make your life richer. If you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it delicious food. Also, be sure to keep your pet from those unwanted babies.

    If you don’t have a pet, be kind to animals around you. For example, if you see a street dog, don’t kick (踢) it or throw things at it. Instead, just leave it alone, or better it yet, make friends with it. If others around you do bad things to an animal, try to stop them. As people, we must protect animals who can’t speak for themselves.
