六、任務(wù)型閱讀(20分)
閱讀下列短文,根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容填寫表格,每空限填一詞。(每小題1分,滿分10分)
Two days ago, I had taken a test in Biology, and I knew that I would get my scores in the same class today.
After the bell rang, every student sat in his or her seat impatiently. Then, one by one, the teacher called our names.
As each paper was given back to the correct student, the front of the answer paper would always be turned to face the ground and the paper itself would be slightly folded (折疊) to prevent anyone from seeing.
In fact, folding each test paper is a way to make sure that each student sees only his or her own scores. The scores are seen as private information not to be announced or shown to others. As a way to keep the students’ score records secret, each student is given an online account (賬號(hào)). Each student can use it to check his or her grades on the official school website.
Protecting students’ private information always comes first in US schools that want to free students from unnecessary pressure(壓力). School reports are guarded closely to prevent poor grades from damaging a student’s dignity and reputation (尊嚴(yán)和聲譽(yù)), which are for himself or herself only.
However, some insist that although students’ feelings and self-dignity are easily hurt, they cannot be forever protected. They say that school also teaches their students to make themselves stronger in mind, and the classroom should show the reality of competition in society. Scores that everyone can see might better encourage students to work harder to be better than others.

七、閱讀表達(dá)(10分)
閱讀下列短文,回答問題(不得超過5個(gè)詞)
One Saturday afternoon, Tom and his sister, Viv, were having tea in a café. Tom was telling Viv about his history project. “On Monday I am giving a speech in front of the class. It will be about famous inventions,” Tom told Viv. “Let’s go to the public library and find a book on inventions,” suggested Viv. “We’ll call the library first to see what time it closes.”
They walked over to an old telephone box and went inside. Just as Viv was about to ring ‘1888’, the number for Directory Enquiries(電話號(hào)查詢臺(tái)), there was a loud crash outside the phone box. A woman had dropped her shopping bags.
Viv dialed the number. When she had finished, the telephone box started shaking, and a loud noise filled their ears. The shopping centre disappeared, and everything went dark. Suddenly there was a big bump. The telephone box stopped shaking and everything was quiet. Tom and Viv looked out of the window. They couldn’t believe their eyes! They were in the middle of a large field. Tom pushed the door and stepped outside.
“This is amazing!” he said. “I think we’ve travelled through time.” Suddenly some men on horses appeared. They were wearing strange clothes. They saw the children and started riding towards them, shouting.
“Let’s get out of here!” Tom shouted. They ran back inside and closed the door behind them.
“Those men look like people from the past,” Tom said. “You dialed the number ‘1888’ for Directory Enquiries. If we dial ‘2018’, perhaps we’ll return home.”
Tom dialed the number. He was nervous, however, and dialed ‘3010’ by mistake. The telephone box started shaking again, and the field disappeared. There was another large bump. Looking outside, the children saw strange buildings and cars. A face suddenly appeared outside the window. The person had three eyes! Viv shouted with fear.
“I don’t want to be in the future. I want to go home,” said Viv. Tom quickly dialed ‘2018’. Soon they were back in the shopping centre. Outside, a woman was picking up some shopping bags that she had dropped. Tom recognized the woman. “We’re back! Let’s help that woman with her shopping bags,” he said.
“Thank you. You’re very kind,” the woman replied to Tom’s offer of help.
She turned to look at the children. Tom and Viv jumped in horror. The woman had three eyes…
96. What speech would Tom give in front of the class?
97. Did they know the telephone number of the public library?
98. How did they travel through time to the past?
99. Which number would enable(使能夠) them to go back home?
100. Where had the woman probably come from?

Dear Amy,
I couldn’t read your two e-mails until today because my computer was broken. I’m sorry to hear about your p 101 , but I’m glad you’re feeling better and are recovering. I’m s 102 that in China someone’s liver (肝臟) matched yours! This is really a moving story—a stranger d 103 part of his liver to a girl he doesn’t even know!
You’re right. We shouldn’t c 104 too much about our weight. I’m happy you stopped taking those losing-weight pills. From your photo I can see you are now looking very w 105 in the hospital. To keep slim is important, e 106 for an actress, but nothing is more important than health. Your d 107 advice is indeed very good—exercise for at least half an hour every day and eat lots of fruit and vegetables.
It’s not only in your country. It’s the s 108 here with us Chinese—many people are always going on diets or taking losing-weight pills, which are often d 109 . But in fact, some of them are not overweight at all. I hope these people can learn s 110 from your story. Hope you will leave hospital as soon as possible.
Love,
Helen
