第一篇：
How do we get more young people to increase their consumption of iron-rich foods? Many nutritionists are advocating
the fortification (提高營養價值) of a number of foods. This may help, but I contend that we should also intensify our efforts
in nutrition education among our young people. I simply do not agree that it is futile to try to change eating habits. Once an
intelligent person—and this includes adolescents—understand the need for a healthy diet, I think he/she will act accordingly.
As for specific actions, I suggest that blood hemoglobin should be checked as a routine part of a youngster’s yearly physical
exam. It should contain at least 12 grams for a boy. If it is any lower, the physician probably will prescribe an easily absorbed
iron supplement.
Adolescents—and everyone else—should cut out highly processed foods and drinks, which may be low in iron and other
nutrients. Read the labels for iron content. Especially make sure that all bakery products are made with enriched flour or whole
grains. Try adding liver, chicken, beef, veal or any other variety to the weekly menu.
Finally, even when you are trying to lose weight, always eat a sensible, well-balanced diet made up of a variety of fresh
or very lightly processed foods. This way, you stand a good chance of getting not only enough iron, but also adequate amounts
of all the other essential nutrients.
【題組】43. The author says that the appropriate way to lose weight is __________.
(A) to eat vegetables and eggs
(B)to cut our highly processed foods and drinks
(C) to eat a variety of fresh or very lightly processed foods
(D) to follow suggestions from a physician

On June 17, 1774, the officials from Maryland and Virginia held a talk with the Indians of the six Nations. The Indians
were invited to send boys to William and Mary College. In a letter the next day they refused the offer as follows:
We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the costs of living of our
young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you. We are convinced that you mean to do us good by your proposal;
and we thank you heartily. But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you will
therefore not be offended if our ideas of this kind of education happen not to be the same as yours. We have had some
experience of it. Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the college of the Northern provinces; they were
taught all your sciences; but, when they came back to us, they were bad runners, ignorant of every means of living in the
woods... They were totally good for nothing.
We are, however, not the less obliged by your kind offer, though we refuse to accept it; and, to show our grateful sense
of it, if the gentlemen of Virginia will send us a dozen of their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them all we
know, and make men of them.
【題組】47. Different from the officials’ view of education, the Indians thought ________.
(A) they taught different branches of science
(B)young men should be educated in sciences
(C) they had different goals of education
(D) they should teach the sons of the officials first

Hayao Miyazaki (宮崎駿) is by far Japan’s most famous animator—in fact, he’s one of the country’s most
recognizable living people. Animators and live-action filmmakers around the world acknowledge his influence. His talents
have even been described by fans as “godlike.”
Miyazaki’s last film in the Showa (昭和) Era had been 1988’s My Neighbor Totoro. These days, it’s considered a
classic, but the film had underperformed at the box office—as had the director’s previous film, 1986’s Castle in the Sky.
Without a hit, it was unclear whether Ghibli, the animation studio that Miyazaki had co-founded just a few years earlier,
would survive. But seven months after Emperor Akihito’s ascent, a young woman on a broom swept in to save the day.
Kiki’s Delivery Service, Miyazaki’s adaptation of a novel about a witch who leaves home for the big city and learns how to
be independent, was a massive hit, ultimately becoming Japan’s highest-grossing film of 1989. Since then, all of the
director’s films — including Princess Mononoke (1997), Spirited Away (2001), Ponyo (2008) and The Wind Rises
(2013)—have seen enormous critical and financial success, transforming Miyazaki into one of the country’s most
celebrated directors in any medium, both at home and abroad.
While Miyazaki became one of Japan’s most celebrated figures in the Heisei (平成) Era, many of the director’s
signature themes came out of his experiences in the Showa Era. Miyazaki was born in 1941, just months before Japan and
the United States went to war. His father and uncle owned a factory that produced parts used in Mitsubishi’s A6M Zero
fighter planes, giving the family a relatively high standard of living even as the country began to ration food and other
resources. One incident from this period had an especially profound impact on the director. As the Miyazaki family was
fleeing the American firebombing of the capital in their car— another sign of their privilege—a mother holding a baby
begged to be let on. Miyazaki’s father and uncle said, “No, we don’t have enough room,” and drove off. Miyazaki kept
thinking about this, saying to himself, “I should’ve told my father to stop. Why didn’t I? They could have helped.” This
incident marked the instant many of Miyazaki’s main characters—children who have the moral high ground, children who
are mature, thoughtful and highly resilient—were born.
【題組】48. Which of the following are true about the main characters in Miyazaki’s stories?
(A) They are usually mature and thoughtful.
(B) They are usually poor and helpless.
(C) They are often unwilling to help others.
(D) They often remain strong and determined when facing difficulties.
