" Dad will be really mad if he finds out you've been playing with his new computer.”Jason said, " He told us not to touch it.”

A Book Review — The Snake-Stone by Berlie Doherty
The setting: Urban England (the cities), but also rural England (the countryside) including remote English villages.
The theme: The main theme is a teenage search of self-discovery, in this case the search for a mother from whom the hero was separated at an early age. Its other concerns are love, getting on with others, being persistent and courageous and trying to deal with doubts, troubles and worries. As the book moves to a close, James' swimming coach says to him: “ You are not like a kid obeying instructions any more. You are diving-Tike "a young man who knows where he is going. '
The characters: James is the hero of the story. He is a championship diver, and has a comfortable life with his foster parents (. Yet he also has the qualities to take him on a long journey to find his birth mother. The other characters in The Snake-Stone, James' parents, his diving instructor, best friend, the villagers, people he meets on his journey, are pictured realistically.
The turning point: The turning point in the story comes while James' foster parents are away in London, and he wonders about the identity of his birth mother. The only clue he has is a fossil, ' the snake stone' which she left behind along with a note on which she had written, 'Take good care of Sammie.' It was written on a torn envelope with parts of an address still there.
The journey; Instead of going to London, James decides to find his birth mother. With help from his geography teacher, James sets out for the remote country village where his mother might be found. James has painful, challenging, but also humorous and happy travels. The mother he finally meets, Anne, has a minor yet powerful voice in the novel. He comes to understand why she left him at a stranger’s door fifteen years before. Although the meeting is not long, it leaves him with a feeling of completeness. As a journey of self-discovery The Snake-Stone also provides its readers with a happy ending. Its hero says, on returning to his foster parents, ' I was home.’
61. What is the main theme of the novel?
A. Life with foster parents. B. Life in the world of diving.
C. A journey of self-discovery. D. A travel around the country.
62. What do the coach's words in Paragraph 2 suggest?
A. James is a successful diver. B. James is a hopeful swimmer.
C. James is an outgoing young man. D. James is an independent young man.
63. The snake stone in the novel is
A. a stone with an address on it B. a clue left by the birth mother
C. a gift from the swimming coach D. a fossil left by the foster parents
64. Which of the following is true about the novel?
A. The story has a sad ending.
B. The story takes place in the city of London.
C. The characters are vividly described.
D. The turning point comes after the hero meets his birth mother.
65. It can be concluded that James' journey is_________
A. worthwhile B. boring
C. comfortable D. disappointing
一個書評，每段的內容都很明確，做題時要注意每段粗體開頭的提示。
61【答案】B
【試題解析】主旨題。題目中的關鍵詞theme對應文章當中的第二段的第一句：The main theme is a teenage search of self-discovery。所以答案選C。
【難度】一般
62【答案】D
【難度】中等
【試題解析】句義理解。you are not like a kid obeying instruction any more. You are diving like a young man who knows where he is going.你并不再像個服從命令的小孩了，你現在是一個知道何去何從的男人。一般而言，句子的理解一定是從現象到本質，所以最表面的理解通常是錯誤的，故排除A,B選項。C是說他是一個外向的年輕男人，并未提及他的性格，故選擇D，他是一個獨立的男人。
63【答案】B
【試題解析】細節理解，用snake stone定位?？梢钥吹絻删湓挘旱谌危篢he other characters in The Snack –Stone, James’s parents, his diving instructor, best friend, the villagers, people he meets on his journey, are pictured realistically.這句話對解題并沒有用處。就再看到第四段的：The only clue he has is a fossil, “the snake stone” which she left behind along with a note on which she had written, “Take good care of Sammie.”他擁有的唯一的一個線索就是一個化石---她所留下來的“the snake stone”并且伴隨著一張紙條，上面寫著“照顧好Sammie”。故選擇B.—一個由他的親生母親留下來的線索。
【難度】中等
64.【答案】C
【試題解析】細節判斷題。A：這個故事有一個悲傷的結尾。（錯誤原因：文章第五段說The Snake-Stone also provides its readers with a happy ending. The Snake-Stone給讀者提供了一個開心的結尾）；B：這個故事發生在倫敦。（錯誤原因：文章第四段：Instead of going to London, James decides to find his birth mother.而不是去倫敦，James決定去找他的親生母親）；C：角色都被生動的描述。（正確原因：文章第三段：The other characters in The Snack –Stone, James’s parents, his diving instructor, best friend, the villagers, people he meets on his journey, are pictured realistically.在The Snack –Stone,當中的其他角色，James的父母，他的潛水老師，最好的朋友，村民們，在他旅途當中遇見的人，都被描述的很真實。vividly described.對應著pictured realistically.）；D：故事的轉折點發生在英雄遇見自己親生母親之后。（錯誤原因：文章中第四段：The turning point in the story comes while James’ foster parents are away in London, and he wonders about the identity of his birth mother.在故事中的轉折點發生在James的養父母離開在倫敦的時候，他很想知道他親生母親的身份。
【難度】中等
65【答案】A
【試題解析】主旨大意題。通過文章的最后一段Although the meeting is not long, it leaves him with a feeling of completeness. As a journey of self-discovery The Snake-Stone also provides its readers with a happy ending.可以得知，形容這個旅程的詞一定不是負面的。所以排除B無聊的，和D令人失望的。剩下A有價值的，值得做的,和C舒適的。但由于James has painful, challenging, but also humorous, and happy travels.這句話當中說到了painful，也就意味著這一定不是舒適的。故選A.
【難度】中等
C

【試題解析】細節理解題。注意題干中所提的at least，定位時需要注意題干中“volunteer”到文中“A Big sister and Little sister”的轉換，定位之后，理解“between one and four hours together three or four times each month for at least twelve months.”至少為12個月中3次，每次1小時。得出答案B。
【難度】較難
【長難句解析】A Big Sister and Little Sister will generally spend between one and four hours together three or four times each month for at least twelve months. 此句結構簡單，關鍵是所用時間的計算方法，我們可以采用分布計算：between one and four hours together：一次1至4小時，three or four times each month：一個月3到4次，for at least twelve months：至少12個月。這樣最少的時間應該是：1*3*12=36.

Yet some people wonder if the revolution in travel has gone too far. A price has been paid, they say, for the conquest (征服) of time and distance. Travel is something to be enjoyed, not endured（忍受）. The boat offers leisure and time enough to appreciate the ever-changing sights and sounds of a journey. A journey by train also has a special charm about it. Lakes and forests and wild, open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing. On board a plane, however, there is just the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow windows of the airplane. The soft lighting, in-flight films and gentle music make up the only world you know, and the hours progress slowly.
Then there is the time spent being“processed” at a modem airport. People are conveyed like robots along walkways; baggage is weighed, tickets produced, examined and produced yet again before the passengers move to another waiting area. Journeys by rail and sea take longer, yes, but the hours devoted to being “ processed” at departure and arrival in airports are luckily absent. No wonder, then, that the modern high-speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.
Man, however, is now a world traveler and cannot turn his back on the airplane. The working lives of too many people depend upon it; whole new industries have been built around its design and operation. The holiday-maker, too, with limited time to spend, patiently endures the busy airports and the limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours and even days, relaxing in the sun. Speed controls people's lives; time saved, in work or play, is the important thing — or so we are told. Perhaps those first horsemen, riding free across the wild, open plains, were enjoying a better world than the one we know today. They could travel at will, and the clock was not their master.

A. Travel by plane has speeded up the growth of villages.
B. The speed of modern travel has made distances relatively short,

第一節 閱讀表達
Stamp collectors usually collect stamps only from certain countries or regions. The traditional method of stamp collecting is to organize stamp collection according to the issue dates.
Of course, there are many . You can collect stamps relating to a particular theme. For example, sport lovers may choose the Olympic theme. They try their best to find Olympic stamps issued by various parts of the world every four years. Some of them may want to concentrate on even more specific sport activities like ball games, gymnasium, swimming, etc.
If you like astronomy, you may be keen on collecting stamps describing the stars, planets, spacecraft, spacemen, etc. Once you have fixed the topic, you no longer need to bother about stamps other than the theme you selected. Then, you can put all your effort to collect the stamps around it.
China issues zodiac animal stamps (十二生肖郵票)every year to celebrate the Lunar New Year. They are extremely popular and a lot of collectors wait patiently for 12 years to collect a full set of them. Hong Kong's Lunar New Year special stamp series began in 2000 with the Year of Dragon and the twelfth and final set was issued in 2011, the Year of Rabbit. Recently some Western countries have issued zodiac animal stamps, which attract a lot of attention as well.
