    Linsey Knerl doesn't get out much anymore. A free-lance copywriter and mother of four from Tekamah, Ned., Knerl has cut back trips to the movie theaters and restaurants as well as days at the zoo with her kids. Fun is now a DVD from Netflix or a family board-game night. She cooks at home most evenings and has hoarded six months' worth of meat in her freezer to reduce trips to the grocery store and save gas money. "We made a conscious decision that we couldn't go out to eat two or three times a week anymore, " says Knerls, whose husband stays home to help raise their kids. 
     Start stockpiling your canned goods, America. We're quickly becoming a country of cocooners, to borrow a term that retail analysts use to describe consumers who nest at home to shave expenses. It's a profound reversal of the consumption habits that helped fuel the economic crisis in the first place. "It's about getting back to basics," says cocooner Stan McClain, who owns a studio-supplies store in Burbank, Calif., and has drastically cut back his restaurant spending and tore up his driveway to turn it into a vegetable garden. "By going backward, you can actually go forward responsibly."

【題組】37.Why does Linsey Knerl stockpile huge amount of meat in her freezer?
(A) She wants to spend more time on her work and taking good care of her children.
(B) The trips to the grocery stores are too bothersome for her.
(C) She doesn't have to drive so often that she can spend less on gasoline.
(D) The refrigerator she has is large enough to store much meat.

第一篇: 
    American cities are similar to other cities around the world. In every country, cities reflect the values of the culture. Cities contain the very best aspects of a society: opportunities for education, employment, and entertainment. They also contain the very worst parts of a society: violent crime, racial conflict and poverty. American cities are changing, just as American society is changing.
   After World War II, city residents became wealthier, and more prosperous. They had more children. They needed more space. They moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes. They bought houses in the suburbs, areas near a city where people live. These are areas without many offices or factories. During the 1950s, the American “dream” was to have a house in the suburbs.
   Now things are changing. The children of the people who left the cities in 1950s are now adults. They, unlike their parents, want to live in the cities. Many young professionals, doctors lawyers, and executives, are moving back into the city. Many are single; others are married, but often without children. They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there; they are afraid of the fuel shortage; or they just enjoy the excitement and opportunities which the city offers. A new class is moving into the city ― a wealthier, more mobile class.
   Only a few years ago, people thought that the older American cities were dying. Some city residents now see a bright, new future. Others see only problems and conflicts. One thing is sure: Many dying cities are alive again.

【題組】44. According to the article, cities are .
(A) sick
(B) living
(C) dying
(D) alive again

第二篇: Do you often find yourself rushing to finish a report right before the deadline? Or maybe you always leave your Christmas shopping until Christmas Eve. If so, you are a typical procrastinator. Procrastinators are people who tend to put off doing tasks until the very last minute. Trying to avoid their fear of failure, procrastinators actively look for distractions. They also lie to themselves by saying things like “I’ll feel more like doing this tomorrow.” Thus, instead of getting things done, they usually end up falling behind schedule. With a few simple steps, however, procrastination can be overcome. Make a list of the tasks you have to do; this helps you organize your time and your mind. You can also split up these tasks into smaller parts to make them easier. Set realistic goals and give yourself plenty of time to complete each task. When the task is completed, reward yourself with a treat. A reward can be a great way to motivate yourself to work harder. As the saying goes, “Procrastination is the thief of time.” If you can stop procrastinating and take charge of your life, you’ll be more confident than ever before.
【題組】8. Why do procrastinators purposely look for excuses for delaying doing tasks?
(A) They want to fall behind schedule.
(B) They try to avoid their fear of failure.
(C) They need more time to get things well done.
(D) They hope to motivate themselves to work harder.

五、閱讀測驗(請在下列各題中選出最適當的答案) In 11 states across the USA, school buses are now doing more than just transporting students. They’re also serving as rolling billboards. These school buses carry advertisements on the outside. Restaurants, insurance companies, banks, and other businesses pay for the ads, hoping to attract more customers. And it’s a way for the schools to make money as they face deep budget cuts. In addition to Colorado, states such as Arizona, New Jersey, and Texas allow ads on the outside of their school buses. The idea appears to be catching on. In Georgia, some school-district leaders are suggesting putting ads on their buses too. School districts need to ensure that the ads are appropriate for kids, according to Michael Beauchamp, chief executive officer of Alpha Media. This company works with businesses in several states to create ads for school buses. “The districts won’t allow ads for things like beer, cigarettes, or politics,” Beauchamp told Time for Kids Magazine. But not everyone is in favor of school buses having ads on the outside. That includes Georgia’s Department of Education. Spokeswoman Dorie Nolt told TFK, “We strongly believe that advertising on the outside of school buses distracts drivers and children.” Parents are divided on the issue. “I don’t think the ads are a distraction,” said Glenn Herdling of River Vale, New Jersey. His son is in second grade. “And if they can bring in money for the schools and help save some programs, that’s fantastic.” Cindy Tomarchio of East Windsor, New Jersey, feels differently. “I know the schools can use the money, but kids already see enough advertising every which way they turn,” she said.
【題組】40. What is the author’s attitude toward ads on the school buses?
(A) He agrees with the proposal.
(B) He is curious about the effectiveness of this proposal.
(C) He thinks more researches need to be done.
(D) He does not express his own opinions.

四、閱讀測驗(請在下列各題中選出最適當的答案) 
        Insects are often thought of as a nuisance to human beings and merely pests for crops and animals. Yet this is far from the truth. In fact, eating insects has been practiced throughout history and many people around the world eat insects out of choice. 
        The practice of eating insects is known as entomophagy. Many animals, such as spiders, lizards and birds, are entomophagous, as are many insects. People throughout the world have been eating insects as a regular part of their diets for millennia. The earliest citing of entomophagy can be found in biblical literature; nevertheless, eating insects was, and still is, taboo in many westernized societies. The unconventional nature of entomophagy has meant that farming insects for food and feed has largely been absent from the great agricultural innovations in livestock farming that emerged in past centuries – with a few exceptions, such as bees, silkworms and scale insects. Insects have also failed to feature on the agendas of agricultural research and development agencies worldwide. Until recently, references to insects for food and feed have been largely anecdotal. It is therefore unsurprising that insects are still lacking from the diets of many rich nations and that their sale for human consumption remains part of a niche food sector of novelty snacks. 
        Nevertheless, insect consumption is not a new concept in many parts of the world. From ants to beetle larvae – eaten by tribes in Africa and Australia as part of their subsistence diets – to the popular, crispy-fried locusts and beetles enjoyed in Thailand, it is estimated that insect-eating is practiced regularly by at least 2 billion people worldwide. More than 1,900 insect species have been documented in literature as edible, most of them in tropical countries. The most commonly eaten insect groups are beetles, caterpillars, bees, wasps, and ants. 
        Insects deliver a host of ecological services that are fundamental to the survival of humankind. They provide food and contribute to livelihoods. In the time when it’s more and more difficult to meet the food and nutrition needs, the practices of gathering insects for food and income definitely worth consideration.

【題組】18. Why are the tribes in Africa and Australia mentioned in the passage?
(A) Because they have noted down what they eat.
(B) Because they do not belong to the rich nations.
(C) Because insects have been food for their animals.
(D) Because insects have been among their daily diet.

四、閱讀測驗【請在下列各題中選出最適當的答案】 Fat people are discriminated against in the workplace. According to a government study, many employers assume that fat workers will do their jobs slowly and will be sick frequently. Because of these false assumptions, personnel directors are often reluctant to hire people who are more than 20 percent overweight. In addition, fat people earn an average of $4,000 less than thin people do in similar jobs. My own experience as a 295-pound man supports these findings. Although I graduated at the top of my accounting class, classmates with much lower grades than mine were offered jobs long before I was. Although I eventually found employment, I worked hard to prove myself, receive excellent job evaluations, and never missed a day of work in over four years. Yet during that time, several less qualified co-workers were promoted over me, when I complained to my boss, he explained apologetically that a higher position would require me to deal directly with the company’s clients and I simply did not fit the corporate image. In disgust, I quit and am now hunting for another job. I hope that when I find one, my new boss will realize that fat people can be productive and energetic members of the workplace.

(A) Accounting.
(B) Evaluation.

   Fortune cookies, commonly served after meals at Chinese restaurants in the U.S., are characterized by a fortune, which is written on a small piece of paper tucked inside the cookie. There are several stories about the origin of the fortune cookie. None of them, however, has been proven to be entirely true.

   One of these stories the cookie’s origin back to 13th- and 14th-century China, which was then occupied by the Mongols. According to the legend, notes of plans for a revolution to overthrow the Mongols were hidden in mooncakes that would ordinarily have been stuffed with sweet bean paste. The revolution turned out to be and eventually led to the formation of the Ming Dynasty. This story may sound highly credible, but there seems to be no solid evidence that it inspired the creation of the 5  we know of today as fortune cookies.

   Another 6 claims that David Jung, a Chinese immigrant living in Los Angeles, created the fortune cookie in 1918. Concerned about the poor people he saw wandering near his shop, he made cookies and passed them out free on the streets. Each cookie 7  a strip of paper inside with an inspirational Bible quotation on it.

   However, the more generally accepted story is that the fortune cookie first 8  in either 1907 or 1914 in San Francisco, created by a Japanese immigrant, Makoto Hagiwara. The fortune cookie was based on a Japanese snack, but Hagiwara sweetened the recipe to appeal to American 9  . He enclosed thank-you notes in the cookies and served them to his guests with tea. Within a few years, Chinese restaurant owners in San Francisco had copied the recipe and 10  the thank you notes with fortune notes. Such fortune cookies became common in Chinese restaurants in the U.S. after World War II.
