原文
Passage Two
In the high mountain country outside the city of Toluker, there stands a prison. This prison is quite different from other prisons in the world. The guards, except for two at the main gate, are not armed. There are many remarkable things about Toluker prison. For example, of the 15,000 individuals who have been in prison at Toluker, less than two percent have got into trouble again with the law. Men in the open prison are free to find work on the outside but must go back to prison each night. On weekends they are allowed to go home. When most other prisons are still sending criminals back into society. Toluker is returning people who stand on their own feet and contribute to society. In 1974, a prisoner called Barb Crook moved to the open prison. A year later, he left Toluker for the last time. He was then nearly forty six and had been in prison for fourteen years. He got a job as construction worker in the city, remarried and was regarded as a useful person of his community. If you ask Bob why Toluker works, he would say "Because they believed in me when I was at my worst."
Questions 14 to 17 are based on the passage you have just heard.
14. Why is Toluker prison called an open prison?
15. What is the essential characteristic of Toluker Prison?
16. How long did Barb Crook stay in the Toluker prison?
17. What is the speaker's attitude toward this type of prison?
參考答案與分析
14 B 本題的考點在Men in the open prison are free to find work on the outside but must go back to prison each night.
15 C 本題的考點在最后一句Because they believed in me when I was at my worst.
16 A 本題的考點在A year later, he left Toluker for the last time.
17 B 本題是作者態度題，從言辭中我們可以看出作者是持正面態度的所以應該選B。其實從選項特征也可以看出，A C是同意選項質疑和批評都是一個意思就是負面態度。D是無關緊要，漠不關心。這種選項基本上一輩子也不會成為正確答案的。如果無關緊要，漠不關心作者還寫他做什么。
