LOS ANGELES： The worlds oldest person celebrated her 115th birthday on Monday with music， cakes and a letter of congratulation from US President Barack Obama. Gertrude Baines， who became the planets longest living human in January following the death of Portuguese woman， Maria de Jesus， also 115， marked her birthday at Los Angeles Western Convalescent Hospital. Baines —who owes her longevity（長壽）to her belief and clean living—attracted worldwide headlines last November when she became the oldest African-American.

She made her latest statement on Monday. Mondays low-key（低調(diào)的）birthday party saw a group of friends sing Happy Birthday to Baines before the reading of a statement from The Guinness Book of World Records saying she is the worlds oldest person. “The only thing she is not satisfied with， well， there are two things. One thing， she doesnt like meat. Its not delicious enough，” her doctor， Charles Witt， told KCAL9 local television. “And the other thing is she worries about her pains of her knees. She told me that she owes her longevity to healthy life style， that she never did drink， that she never did smoke and that she never did fool around.”

Born in 1894 in Shellman， Georgia， Baines father is the son of slaves， and she has lived longer than her entire family. Her only daughter died of fever when she was a child just learning to walk. Baines， who worked in University of Ohio dormitories until she retired， has lived at the Convalescent Hospital for more than 10 years.

51. How many reasons are mentioned in the passage which lead to Baines long life？

A. Two. B. Three.

C. Four. D. Five.

52. Which of the following is true about Gertrude Baines birthday party？

A. Her daughter and friends sang Happy Birthday to her.

B. President Barack Obama came to attend her birthday party.

C. She and Maria de Jesus both became the oldest living person in the world.

D. She was recognized as the oldest person by The Guinness Book of World Records.

53. According to the text Gertrude Baines is anxious about ___ .

A. the hospitals meat B. Maria de Jesus death

C. her pains of her knees D. her life style

One of Aesops fables（伊索寓言）describing a thirsty crow（烏鴉）which was able to drink from a half-full container after raising the water level by adding little stones may have had a basis in real life.

Scientists have found that rooks（白嘴鴉）—a member of the crow family—were able to figure out how to raise the water level in a lab container by dropping stones inside to get a tasty worm floating on the surface， just like the crow in the fable， which shows the power of imagination and how necessity is the mother of invention. The only other animal shown to be able to perform the same task is the ape（猿）， which was able to seize a floating nut by throwing out water into a big bottle. Scientists believe it shows that， in many aspects， rooks and crows have intelligence comparable to apes when it comes to the use of tools.

“We have performed a large number of studies on both the crow family and apes， and have found that the crows performance is equal to or often higher than apes. However， it is not particularly useful to say that one kind is more or less sensible than another because often the playing fields arent even，” said Nathan Emery， who carried out the work with Christopher Bird at Cambridge. “This study suggests that they can not only think through hard problems requiring the use of tools， but imagine the results of their actions without trying and making mistakes， and produce proper ways to these problems that have never been met before.”

“We believe that the intelligence in rooks and other crows is developed mainly to solve social problems， as almost all crow species live in large social groups， but they also mainly form pair relations， like human marriages， and some of their knowing abilities appear to have developed to help them guess what others are going to do next—so-called mind reading.”

55. Who does the underlined part “the mother of invention” refer to in Paragraph 2？

A. The crow in the fable. B. The ability to imagine.

C. The rooks. D. The animal that can raise the water level to drink.

56. From a large number of studies， scientists have found that both apes and crows___ .

A. are sure to be cleverer than other animals

B. can find a way out only after trying

C. have thought of the result before action

D. can only think through hard problems by using tools

57. It can be inferred that the intelligence in crows ___ .

A. is their born quality B. makes them live in pairs

C. develops from their social life D. comes from their predicting ability

58. Whats the authors purpose of writing this text？

A. To help readers understand the crow family. B. To introduce the research discovery.

C. To describe an Aesops story. D. To compare crows and apes.

Most parents do not like their childrens music. For example， todays parents do not like rap（說唱）music. But what the parents do not understand is that people who make rap music have important abilities.

Think about the words in a rap song. Many of the words in the songs sound the same. For example， each word at the end of a line in the song usually has the same sound. Say that a singer used the word “eat”， he might also want to use the words “feet” and “meat” in the song. This is because these words end in the same sound as “eat”. So the person who writes the song has to know many words to find words that have the same sound and make sense in the song. Many people who do not like rap music do not think about rap singers abilities and the clever way that they use words.

Another thing that rappers do well is putting songs together. Rap singers mix songs from older records with their own music. A good rap song has many different songs in it. So， a rapper has to know a lot about older music. In fact， rappers can mix different kinds of music into their songs， not just rap music. Many times， rappers will put famous parts of old rock and roll， old pop， or old disco songs into a rap song. As long as the rap singer tells people who made the older songs， the rock， pop， or disco singers do not mind. If a rap singer does not say where he or she got the music from， then the other singers get mad.

Some parents think that rap is not really music. But that does not mean that the people making rap music do not have any special abilities.

59. What ability a rap singer should have according to Paragraph 2？

A. To remember many words. B. To use words in a clever way.

C. To make people like the songs. D. To know that the end of a line has the same sound.

60. Under what conditions can rappers make use of others songs？

A. They play for free. B. They just use parts of the songs.

C. They mix different kinds of music. D. They tell people the sources of the songs.

61. What is the authors idea about rap music？

A. Its difficult to learn. B. Its popular among people.

C. Its special and requires skills. D. Its wonderful and few people can master it.

D

Its a question that every college student must answer. Both choices have their advantages and disadvantages so it is important for you to weigh them before you make a final decision.

◆◆On-Campus

Advantages：

Convenience to go to school. If you live on campus， you can easily walk to classes， libraries， computer labs， etc. You dont have to waste time and money in driving to school， finding a parking space and so on.

Simplicity. You dont have to worry about monthly rent payment， bills and shopping. Most students living in a dorm get convenient meals.

Increased social life. Living on campus will allow you to meet more people and build more friendships. You will also usually know about campus activities and how to be involved in them.

Disadvantages：

Little privacy（隱私）. The close living space means little privacy. You may never have quiet time in your dorm because there will always be something going on.

Limited space. At most colleges， the dorm life is very social， so your grades may be affected in a negative way. If you often choose hanging out with your dorm fellows over studying at the library， then your GPA will suffer.

◆◆Off-Campus

Advantages：

Independence. Living off campus will give you freedom from those rules and allow you to set your own.

Privacy. Living off campus means that you will be more than likely to have your own bedroom so you can have a place to sneak off and have time alone away from your roommates.

Sense of responsibility. If you live off campus， you will be in charge of paying bills， cleaning house， shopping， and cooking.

Disadvantages：

More expenses. Public service can be an extra monthly bill. You will need to buy furniture， kitchen and bath necessities， etc.， which can be a big start-up cost. Traffic， whether you drive or use public transportation， is still going to cost you money.

Separation from others. You may be less involved with campus activities， and this could cause you to feel a sense of separation from your college.

62. This passage is written to ___ .

A. explain different opinions about college life B. introduce what college life is like

C. help students choose to live on or off campus D. offer some advice on how to start college life

第一節(jié) 閱讀表達(dá)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）

閱讀下面短文并按照題目要求用英語回答問題（請注意每題詞數(shù)要求）。

Which animal is “mans best friend”？ We all know its the dog. Dogs have earned the love and respect of humans. Many have given their own lives to save people. Dogs are faithful and devoted. For example， Bobby， a Skye dog， went to market with his Scottish master every day. After the man died， Bobby would not move from his grave. He stayed there for about 10 years. He stayed until he died.

Dogs serve many useful functions. They are good at watching and herding（放牧）sheep. Wherever sheep are raised， a sheep-herding dog is developed. For example， there is the German Shepherd dog. In Scotland， there is the Shetland sheep dog. Both are recognized breeds.

Specially trained dogs lead the blind. Such dogs are carefully selected. It takes about three to five months to train them. Guide dogs will refuse to cross a busy street unless the traffic has stopped.

One interesting dog is the St Bernard. How did it get its name？ It was developed by the monks（僧侶）of the St Bernard Monastery. This is located in the Alps of Switzerland. The dog weighs from 140 to 220 pounds. Its one of the heaviest of all dogs.

St Bernards are famous for rescuing travelers lost in the snow. They have a wonderful sense of smell. They find people buried under several feet of snow. A St Bernard named Barry rescued 40 persons. This was over a period of years.

There is a popular error about these dogs. They do not carry brandy（白蘭地酒）to travelers. Sir Edwin Landseer misrepresented them this way in a painting.
