I. 閱讀理解（共40分）

• 1．It was a Saturday morning，a day I believed would end in victory．For weeks，I had been preparing for the match at the county fairgrounds，sponsored（贊助） by our local riding club．My horse，Tonka，and I could run faster than any kid in the county，and I hoped to bring home a blue ribbon．
     My mother usually drove me to the riding events，but on this day，my father planned to drop us off at the fairgrounds with the horse trailer（馬車）．
     Although we never discussed it，my father's struggle with alcoholism had become the silent center of our family life．My mother was paralyzed with fear and indecision．Her salary as a part-time nurse couldn't possibly support four children．No one talked about alcoholism in those days，and it was my family secret．
      We climbed on the trailer and my father pulled out of our driveway and headed toward the fairgrounds，picking up speed once we hit the main road．It wasn't until we felt a big bump that I realized the trailer was out of control．The dream of my riding winner disappeared．Tonka lay on the floor，completely still．No words were possible．I knew he was dead．
     Suddenly a man appeared． "Are you all right？" he asked． "Yes．" I answered，although I knew that nothing was all right． "Sit here on the grass，" he said．He bent down to look into the trailer．Tonka remained still．He touched Tonka and then turned to face me． ''He is going to be OK．He has just been knocked unconscious．" He rubbed Tonka's cheeks and gently pulling his ears．Tonka rose to his feet．
     Our father was talking to a police officer．He was upset and in pain and took little notice of me．I looked back；the man was gone．
     I never forgot him．He gave me strength and a sense of hope in a dark and frightening moment．

• 2．Dining in a completely dark room，unaware what's on your plate while sitting next to a complete stranger may not sound like an ideal restaurant experience but it's certainly an intriguing way to spend a rainy night in London．
     Dans le Noir，close to London's financial district，is a restaurant full of blind waiters and waitresses who become your eyes around the restaurant，whose original Paris branch opened in 2004．
      In the bar with the light，you choose whether you want the fish，meat or vegetable，but the dishes themselves remain a secret，as do the ingredients of the "surprise" cocktails．Bags，coats and devices（設(shè)備） that light up，including watches and mobile phones，are kept in the bar．Placing your hand on the shoulder of your guide，you are led to a table in a black dining room that sets up to 60 people．And it is dark．The waiters tell you when the food is being placed down in front of you，then the fun begins，trying to get food into your mouth，then identifying just what it is that's on your plate，and finally whether you have missed any of it．It's also a great chance to break social convention and eat using your fingers．Those same fingers are also the only way you can tell how much wine you're pouring into your glass．
      The happy atmosphere in the dining room also made the night memorable．You can't really avoid talking to the person next to you at the long tables and guessing what the dishes are certainly provides adequate fuel for the conversations．
     All will be revealed at the end of the meal when you are led back out into the lit bar．Not only do you finally get to see what you've just been eating but also who you've been talking to for the last 90 minutes．
  
  （1）What does the underlined word "intriguing" in the first paragraph mean？

  
  A．Terrible．

• 3．Which tablet computer should YOU be buying：They are this year's must have …and there's a style to suit everyone．
  

  Best for young children LeapPad Explorer 2， ￡68 Aimed at children between three and nine （though a nine-year -old might find it a little simple），it comes in pink or blue and with five built-in education games （you can buy more）．Besides，the LeapPad does not allow access to the internet - so it is impossible for your child to stumble across anything inappropriate． Pros：The education games are well- designed，the built-in video camera is a fun way to play at being a film director． Cons：Some of the games are shockingly expensive．And the power adaptor is not included．

  Best for teenagers iPad 4th generation， ￡399-￡659 The iPad is still the market leader，and for good reason．If the teenager in your house enjoys playing computer games，the latest offering from Apple is the one to choose． Pros：No other tablet can compete with the near one million 'apps' （the name Apple created for specially-designed downloadable programs） available for the iPad．Simple to use，even for those who usually struggle with technology． Cons：Considerably more expensive than most competitors．

  Best for working parents Microsoft Surface， ￡399-￡559 Tablets are brilliant for leisure - but what if you want to do a bit of work？No tablet can yet compete with a full-size laptop computer，but this is the only tablet that allows you to use Microsoft Word，Excel and Powerpoint （they are all pre-installed and included in the price） and you can buy a pretty lovely mini-keyboard for typing letters and emails，which also doubles up as the cover． Pros：The Surface is good for watching movies - a bonus when stuck in the airport on a business trip - and surfing the internet． Cons：The keyboard is an expensive add-on - costing up to ￡109．It might be cheaper to buy a laptop （though a tablet is much smaller and lighter）．

  Best for bookworms Amazon Kindle Paperwhite， ￡109 Nearly all tablets let you download books．It's a great way to take a mountainous pile of hardbacks on holiday without stuffing your suitcase． But most tablets have a shiny screen - which can be very distracting （分心） when you're trying to read．The Paperwhite is different：its matt screen and crisp black lettering imitate the look of words on paper brilliantly．And yet you can still read the words in the dark． Pros：Easy on the eye，excellent battery life，180，000 free books （if you subscribe to the Amazon Prime customer loyalty service） plus hundreds of thousands more to buy． Cons：No TV，films，games，internet or camera．

  （1）The underlined phrase "stumble across" most probably means "

  "．
  A．quarrel with
  B．compare with
  C．meet with
  D．compete with

  A．The keyboard can serve as a cover．
  B．You have to pay extra to install Microsoft Word．
  C．The keyboard will not add to the cost．
  D．You cannot watch movies or surf the internet with it．
  （3）If you are a game lover，which tablet is least likely to be your choice？

  
  A．LeapPad Explorer 2．
  B．iPad 4th generation．
  C．Microsoft Surface．
  D．Amazon Kindle Paperwhite．
