第二部分 閱讀理解（共兩節(jié)，滿分25.0分。）第一節(jié) （共3小題，每小題2.5分；滿分25.0分 ）閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。

• 1．My friend Dominic recently set himself a 21-day kindness challenge.He started Mother's Day - May 10 - by surprising his mother at her work with his two brothers.
     The week before his challenge started，he had won some money，so on Day Two he donated some of his winnings to a local disability organization in Horsham，Victoria.On Day Three he left money in an envelope at the laundromat （自助洗衣店） with the words "The next one is on me".Later that day，the local district was hit by strong winds so he cleaned out his elderly neighbor's gutters （排水溝） on Day Four.
     Dom manages a retirement village and on Day Five he visited some former residents who had moved to a nursing home.Trading in his car keys for a bicycle helmet on Day Six was Dom's way of being kind to the environment，and then on Day Seven he took his grandmother on a road trip to three different towns so she could visit the graves of loved ones she hadn't visited.
     On Day Eight he spent the morning down at the nearby Wimmera River where he picked up rubbish that was littering the shore.He drove 200km to the closest blood bank in Ballarat to make his first blood donation on Day Nine and then on Day Ten bought a lottery ticket，and put it in an envelope before dropping it into the letterbox of a random house.
     On Day Eleven my daughter and I found ourselves stuck in a supermarket car park with a flat battery.I called Dom，who came to our rescue with smile，and successfully jump-started the car so we could get home.
     Day Twelve's act of kindness was volunteering at Meals on Wheels to help deliver dinners to people in the community who need extra support.
     And so Dom's kindness continued for another nine days - helping friends move house，delivering flowers to nurses at the local hospital，washing his aunt's car and stopping by his grandparents to help out in their garden are just some of the kind things he did.
     Dom took up this challenge because he had been through some difficult times after a relationship breakup.Instead of feeling sorry for himself he turned a negative into a positive and I can honestly say that it has been contagious（會蔓延的）!
  
  （1）The following are all Dominic did during another nine days except

  .
  A．donating some of his winnings to a local disability organization

• 2．The widely known Spanish festival of San Fermin （西班牙奔牛節(jié)） started on Monday.The nine days of festival，where the running of the bulls' is one of the main attractions，is made up of a rocket fired into the air from the town hall in front of a crowded main square.Thousands of people from around the world would gather at the square and more would spend those days in the city enjoying the festival which involves many activities of different kinds accompanied by drinking and eating．
     The program includes 459 main activities.Around 71 percent of them involve music，there are around 82 activities for families and there will also be fireworks，apart from the main attraction， 'the running of the bulls'.The' running of the bulls' takes place every morning and thousands of people run alongside and in front of the bulls.Every year there are injured people and some have been killed all over the years，while the bulls are killed in the afternoon bullfight.3，350 members of the police will watch over the festival and more than 100 members of the Red Cross will attend the 'running of the bulls' to deal with injured people．
     The festival was vividly depicted by Ernest Hemingway's 1926 novel 'The Sun Also Rises' which made the festival internationally known.The festival dates back to the 13th century and the origin is the celebration of the patron saint（守護神） of Pamplona.This celebration was originally held on October 10 but in 1591 people from Pamplona changed the date to July to enjoy better weather and when the livestock market（牲畜市場） took place，although bullfights were first documented in the 14th century．
  
  （1）What can we learn about the San Fermin festival from the text ？

  
  A．The San Fermin festival is always in July．
  B．Most of its activities are related to music．
  C．The San Fermin festival lasts one week．
  D．The San Fermin festival dates from 1926．
  （2）The underlined word "depicted" in the passage can be replaced by

  .
  A．described
  B．mentioned
  C．recorded
  D．held
  （3）We can infer from the passage that

  .
  A．you can enjoy eating and drinking in the festival activities for free
  B．the festival was held in October because of the better weather
  C．the 'running of the bulls' can be very dangerous
  D．a(chǎn)ll the bulls are killed at the end of the festival

• 3．If you love reading，you're living in the right century.The web offers you more copies than anyone could read in a lifetime，including hundreds of newspapers and magazines.It provides you access to whole libraries of rare books at Gutenberg.Org and Google Books.And since you live in the age of e-books，you can buy new books at less than half the price of hardcovers.Some websites even provide free e-books for you to download，E-books let you carry your library in a little notebook，and buy new books online anywhere at any time.
     But if you love books themselves，you may have chosen the wrong century to live in.The real bookstore is disappearing from America.Borders Books，the national chain with 642 stores，will close about 200 stores this year and fire 6000 workers.This will mean little to the people who like reading e-books.But it will mean a great deal to devoted book-lovers.For them，the online bookstore can never replace the pleasure of walking along bookshelves.
     Bookstore appeared in the 18^th century，when printers began turning out books in large numbers to creat a reading public.One of America's earliest booksellers，Leary's Book Store in Philadelphia was a happy hunting ground for book lovers between 1850 and 1969.As Pete Martin described it in House of a Million Books，Leary was the opposite of the modern chain bookstores.It was old，dark and dirty.Though Leary's was closed in 1968，it is fondly remembered by former customers.Will anyone remember the website Amazon.jye.ai that sells books so warmly 40 years after it closes？
  
  （1）Why the author says " If you love reading，you're living in the right century？"

  
  A．Because books are getting much cheaper.
  B．Because readers can get more reading materials.
  C．Because E-books are more interesting than paper books.
  D．Because reading is becoming more and more important.
  （2）We can infer from the passage that Borders Books

  .
  A．will hire more workers
  B．has turned to other fields
  C．is unable to win the competition
  D．will start its business in other countries
  （3）What can we learn about Leary's Books Store？

  
  A．It was a national chain with 642 stores.
  B．It was the earliest bookstore in Europe.
  C．It had been open for more than 200 years
  D．It was once very popular among book lovers.
  （4）The example of Amazon.Com is used to emphasize that

  .
  A．Amazon .com is very popular
  B．Leary's will be open again one day.
  C．Amazon.jye.ai is an online bookstore.
  D．Leary's has been remembered for a long time.

• 4．Five ways to end procrastination （拖延癥） Never put off till tomorrow what may be done today.Waiting until later is one of life's guilty secrets，but procrastination is linked to poorer health，work and relationship outcomes.Here are five ways to try to remedy （糾正） procrastination.：
     1.A five-minute start
     Five minutes is nothing - it's just three hundred seconds.It's the length of a song or a TV commercial.Pick up a project you've been putting off and spare just 300 seconds of your time to do it.（1）

  .After a while the desire of beginning the task will push you forward.
     2.Set goals and rewards
     During the day，set goals and rewards.Each time you achieve a goal，you earn the reward：a short break，a funny YouTube video or something else. （2）

  Make sure you select a time to review your progress and adjust your targets accordingly.
     3.Be good to yourself - me today VS me tomorrow
     Sometimes，when you find yourself buried in work，you are upset with yourself for not having started earlier.Imagine a conversation，between "you today" and "you tomorrow". （3）

  
     4.I was there-eye-witness
     Going public with a goal increases your support.Consider going on a diet：Is there more pressure if you announce it to all your friends，with strict rules to follow if you are invited to dinner？It seems an obvious way of making you feel guilty，but it can also be highly effective.
     5.Set creative punishments
     （4）

  You could write a note to someone that you don't like.Give the note to a friend with strict instructions to mail the note if you do not achieve your goal.The more you dislike the other party，the stronger the motivation to get the task done.
     Procrastination is a silent killer of dreams.（5）

  By understanding and fixing your procrastination，you'll discover you jump-start many areas of your life.
  
  A.Everyone suffers from it.
  B.Once the five minutes is up，stop and rests.
  C.Everyone likes to have a dream of procrastination.
  D.It's important that the goals are realistic and the rewards are inviting.
  E.What is the future of my life with the intention of putting off my tasks？
  F.If "you tomorrow" could chat with "you today"，what would he say？
  G.Make the punishment so unbearable that you have no choice but to get busy now.

• 24．Last Saturday，David was taking a walk in the park near his home when he noticed a woman with a boy of about eight years old.When David passed them，he heard the woman yell，"How stupid you are!You're good at nothing."David stopped and looked at the little boy.The boy said nothing.He just stood there，looking upset.
      David was reminded of his English teacher Mrs.Brown in middle school.After he entered middle school，David lacked self-confidence because he was often made fun of by otjye.airs.He was often told that he was good at nothing，which David believed.But one day it all changed.
      One day，in an English writing class，Mrs.Brown asked them to read a novel.They were asked to write a new chapter of the novel after they finished reading the book.A few days later，David handed in his story.He didn't give it much thought.But the next day，to his surprise，the comment "well done" from Mrs.Brown came into view as soon as he turned to the page where the story was written.
      When David read that，he almost burst into tears.He never expected to be praised one day.He suddenly gained some self-confidence.
      That day after he returned home，he wrote a short story and gave it to Mrs.Brown the next morning.And again he was praised.
      David became very interested in writing.He often wrote short stories and asked Mrs.Brown to read them and correct them for him.Mrs.Brown always corrected the mistakes he had made and gave him good advice to improve them.One year later，David joined the school newspaper and became an editor of it.He was no longer that boy who lacked self-confidence.He gained his confidence and was hopeful about his future.
      He succeeded in entering college and kept writing.Several years after graduating from college，he had his first book published.With some more books coming out，he became famous as a writer in his country.And he owed his success to Mrs.Brown's encouragement.Without her encouragement，his life might be very different now.

  Paragraph 1：
