　　A panda walks into a café. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air. “Why?” asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder. “I am a panda,” he says, at the door. “Look it up.” The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation. “Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal. Native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.” So, punctuation really does matter, even if it is only occasionally a matter of life and death. 
       In 2003 Lynne Truss published Eats, Shoots and Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation. The book became a runaway success in the U.K., hitting number one on the best-seller lists and prompting extraordinary headlines such as “Grammar Book Tops Bestseller List” (BBC News). This is a book for people who love punctuation and get upset when it is mishandled. The above passage is printed on its back cover.

【題組】The words “shoots” and “leaves” whose meaning has changed dramatically in different contexts are the primary source of ________ in the panda joke.
(A)spelling
(B)strategy
(C)definition
(D)humor



2(A).

In business today, it is sometimes very hard to make the right decisions. In a South American country, native people in the tropical rain forest capture beautiful birds and sell them to traders who in turn sell the birds to people in other countries. Some of these birds are in danger of extinction, which means that their species or kinds would no longer exist on the earth. The best thing would be for the government to restrict the buying and selling of these tropical birds, but then the preliterate native people would lose their means of survival. An alternative source of income for the people in these remote areas should be found so that on the one hand the birds can be protected and on the other the native hunters have a new way of making a living.
【題組】49 The native people who capture the birds live in villages which are ______________ .
(A)located far away from civilization
(B)rich from silver and gold mining
(C)modernized by contact with outside peoples
(D)in danger of being destroyed by other tribes

The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) ratings board provides general guidelines to help you decide whether a movie is appropriate for your child. An R-rated film contains adult content. A PG-13 rating cautions parents about material that may be inappropriate for kids under the age of 13. A PG (parental guidance suggested) rating means the movie may contain material not suitable for young children, and a G (general audiences) means the movie’s okay for all. Though the rating system can give you a rough idea of what’s appropriate, it’s wise to do some homework before letting a child see any film. Read newspaper reviews, or visit movie-review websites. Once you know the content of a particular film, you can make a decision. If you decide that a movie is inappropriate for your preteen, don’t cave in to peer pressure and let him see it. Explain the decision to your child. Tell him, for instance, that you’re concerned that a violent movie could cause nightmares. Make sure your child knows that you care about what he is watching.
【題組】10 We may infer from the passage that_____ .
(A) parents can rely only on film ratings when choosing an appropriate film
(B) parents don’t need to explain the film choice if it’s R-rated
(C) children can decide on which film to watch all by themselves
(D) children cannot watch an inappropriate film even if their friends do so
