Once  22  the environment where the purchasing occurred, the feeling of a personal reward would be gone. To compensate, the addicted person would go shopping again. Eventually a feeling of suppression will overcome the person.

He or she is either regretful or depressed. In order to cope with the feelings, the addicted person is prompted to  24  another purchase.
Compulsive shopping often begins at an early age. Children who experienced parental neglect often grew up with low  25  because throughout much of their childhood they felt that they were not important as a person. As a result, they used toys to  26  their feelings of loneliness. Because of the ongoing sentiment of deprivation they endured as children, adults that have depended on materials for emotional  27  when they were much younger are more likely to become addicted to shopping. During adulthood, the purchase, instead of the toy, is substituted for  28 . The victims are unable to deal with their everyday problems, especially those that alter their self-esteem.

購物症通常從幼年開始。那些被父母忽視的兒童經常伴隨著低  25  ,因為大部分他們的的童年,他們覺得自己是一位不重要的人。結果,他們以玩具去  26  他們的孤獨的感受。由於他們在孩提時期不斷忍受的剝奪情緒,那些現在已經以物質作為情感上  27  的成年人,在他們愈年輕的時後候愈是容易成為購物狂。在成年時期,不是玩具了,而是購物取代了  28 。他們人生的重要事情都被  29  東西抑制住了。依據這些研究,有8.9%的美國人  30  是購物狂。研究也發現,男女遭受有這種問題的人比率差不多。

(E) 補償

(F) 離開 (G) 轉而 (H) 購買 ( I ) 自信、自尊 ( J ) 滿足

23. 答: (D)  ashamed  adj. 羞恥
 

 …because the person concerned feels ashamed of their addiction and

    主詞 動詞 主詞補語 對等連接詞  
 

(the person concerned) tries to conceal it.

    主詞 動詞    
  1. 由對等連接詞and所連接的二個子句,可以省略相同的部份(the person concerned);文法書p.330
  2. concerned 是分詞(文法書p.140),當作形容詞使用,用來修飾person;
the person concerned 是形容詞置放在名詞後面的用法;文法書p.242 
 

3.

本句動詞feel是當作連接性動詞(文法書p.35)使用,主詞補語可以是形容詞(文法書p.21)。
ashamed 是分詞,當作形容詞使用。


24. 答:(G) turn to    轉而

28. 答:(C) affection   n. 關愛
 

During adulthood, the purchase, instead of the toy, is substituted for affection.

  介係詞片語   主詞 介係詞片語 動詞 介係詞片語
 

is substituted 是被動式;for是「當作」的意思;purchase(購買)被用來代替了affection(關愛)

註:replace和substitute的用法剛好相反,若用replace這個動詞就要寫成:
the affection is replaced by the purchase.
affection(關愛)被purchase(購買)取代。


29. 答:(H)  buying   動名詞 購買
 

Important issues in their lives are repressed by buying something.

    主詞 介係詞片語 動詞 介係詞片語  
 

介系詞片語後面必須接名詞;文法書p.13
buying something 是動名詞片語,動名詞片語就是當作名詞使用;文法書p.149
答案中只有(F) leaving (H) buying 有ing,按題義是選 (H) buying


30. 答:(B)  qualify  v. 合格
 

..., as many as 8.9 percent of the American population qualify as compulsive buyers

    主詞 分詞片語 動詞 分詞片語  
 

1.  percent 的單複數是同型,文法書p.191;
2. 本句的主詞percent是當作複數使用,現在式動詞要用原型動詞,文法書p.54;答案中qualify原型動詞,所以它就是正確答案。

There was a time when Whitney didn’t have a lot of friends. She was a bit shy and reserved.  31  All through high school, though, she wasn’t able to make good friends or find companionship.
When it was time to go to college, Whitney was quite nervous. She was going to be rooming with someone she didn’t know and living in a town 300 miles away from home. There wouldn’t be a single person she knew in town.  32
The first week of classes, something happened that changed Whitney’s life forever. 33  She told everyone where she came from and all of the other ordinary details that students share in such situations. The final question for each student to answer was, “what is your goal for this class?” Most of the students said that they would like to get a good grade, pass the class or something similar.  34  She said that her goal was to make just one good friend.
While most of the students sat in silence, one student came to Whitney and held out her hand and introduced herself. She asked if they could be friends. The whole room was silent. All eyes focused on Whitney and the hand extended just in front of her.  35

第36 至39 題為題組
April 22, 2010 will be the 18th celebration of the annual Take Our Daughters to Work Day (TOD), a project the National Ms. Foundation for Women of America (NFW) developed to expose girls to expanding opportunities for women in the workplace.
The program offers millions of girls a first-hand view of the many career opportunities available in their futures. Now that women make up 46 percent of the U.S. workforce, girls can find role models in every occupational field—from politics to molecular biology to professional athletics, to name just a few. TOD encourages girls to focus on their abilities and opportunities, not just their appearance.
The NFW developed the project more than a decade ago to address the self-esteem problems that many girls experience when they enter adolescence. At school, boys often receive more encouragement in the classroom, especially in math, science and computer science, the academic fields that tend to lead to the highest salaries. Women receive on average only 73 cents for every dollar that men are paid, and remain vastly underrepresented in top executive positions and technology fields. TOD aims to give girls the confidence and inspiration they need to develop successful careers, particularly in non-traditional fields.
Perhaps because the program had become so widespread and successful, TOD had been criticized for excluding boys, and it was expanded in 2003 to include boys. The program’s official website states that the program was changed in order to provide both boys and girls with opportunities to explore careers at an age when they are more flexible in terms of gender stereotyped roles. “We should also show boys that becoming a child care provider is as acceptable a choice as becoming a police officer or CEO,” added Sara K. Gould, executive director of the NFW.

36.

The purpose for having a Take Our Daughters to Work Day is ______.

 

(A) to encourage girls to pursue top paying jobs

 

(B) to let girls spend more time with their mothers

 

(C) to show girls possibilities for work and careers

 

(D) to give girls a chance to visit their mothers’ offices


37.

TOD was criticized because some people ______.

 

(A) thought it was not fair to boys

 

(B) did not like having children at work

 

(C) did not have daughters to take to work

 

(D) would rather have their daughters stay at home

     2012年4月22日將是帶你女兒上班日的第18周年慶祝日。這是由全美國女性基金會所推行為擴大女性在職場上機會的一項活動。
這項活動提供數以百萬計的女生對她們未來眾多工作機會的第一手觀察。現今美國女性勞工有46%,女生可以在許多職業中 - 隨便舉幾個例,從政治到生物細胞到職業選手 - 找到角色範例。帶你女兒上班日是鼓勵女生去專注在她們的能力和機會,而不只是在她們的外表上面。
全美國女性基金會在10多年前推廣了這項活動,為的是處理許多女生在進入青春期所遭遇到的自尊問題。在學校中,男生在課堂中得到的鼓勵較多,尤其是數學、科學和電腦應用等學科通常容易導致到最高的薪水。男性獲得一元的薪水;女性一般平均只能獲得七角三分,而且在高級管理階層和技術性工作領域佔有比率很低。帶你女兒上班日的目標是給女生發展成功事業所需要的自信和鼓勵,尤其是在非傳統性的工作領域方面。
也許是由於這個活動是如此的普遍和成功,帶你女兒上班日被批評是排擠男生,因此它於2003年擴大把男生也包括在內。這個活動的官方網站聲明,這個活動已經改變為給男生和女生 - 在他們一成不變性別角色可塑性較高的年齡期 - 有同樣的機會去發掘事業。全美國女性基金會執行經理Sara K. Gould又說:我們也應該展示給男生成為一位兒童照顧者和成為一為警察或經理,同樣是一個可以被接受的選擇。

36.

有這麼一個帶你女兒上班日的目的是 ______。

  (A) 鼓勵女生去追求高薪的工作 
 

(B) 讓女生花更多的時間和她們的母親在一起

 

(C) 對女生展示工作和事業的各種機會

 

(D) 給女生參訪她們母親辦公室的一個機會

答:C

37.

帶你女兒上班日被批評是因為有些人 ______。

  (A) 認為它對男生不公平

(B) 不喜歡工作時有小孩在

 

(C) 沒有女兒可帶去上班

(D) 寧願他們的女兒耽在家中

答:A

38.

根據這篇文章,下列哪一項是真的?

  (A) 男生已經被包括在帶你女兒上班日的活動內。
  (B) 男人和女人一直都是同等的被對待。
 

(C) 做家事和養育小孩只是給女生的工作。

 

(D) 女生在成長中獲得的關注較男生多。

答:A

39.

為什麼女人在有些領域 - 例如技術 - 的人數較少?

  (A) 她們對這些領域沒有興趣。
 

(B) 她們沒有被鼓勵在這些領域中工作。

 

(C) 在這些領域中,她們的的酬勞沒有和男人一樣多。

 

(D) 她們不准在這些領域中受教育。

答:B

第40 至43 題為題組
In all cultures and throughout history hair has had a special significance. In ancient Egypt, as long ago as 1500 BC, the outward appearance expressed the person’s status, role in society and political position. Wigs played an important role in this: they were crafted with great artistry and often sprinkled with powdered gold.
In the 8th century BC, the pre-Roman Celts in Northern Europe wore their hair long. In a man it was the expression of his strength, in a woman of her fertility. The idea of long hair as a symbol of male strength is even mentioned in the Bible, in the story of Samson and Delilah. Samson was a leader of the Israelites. His long hair, which he never cut, gave him superhuman powers. The only person who knew his secret was Delilah. However, she spied for the enemy and betrayed him. One night she cut off his hair and thus robbed him of his strength.
In the classical Greek period, curly hair was not only the fashion, but it also represented an attitude towards life. Curls or locks were the metaphor for change, freedom and the joy of living. The ancient Greek word for curls and locks is related to intriguing and tempting someone.
Hair is also used as a symbol of opposition. The punk protest movement today uses hair as a symbol of disapproval of the “middle-class, conventional lifestyle” by wearing provocative haircuts and shockingly colored hair. A different form of objection could be seen in the women’s hairstyles in the 1960s. Women’s liberation was expressed in a short-cut, straight and simple hairstyle which underlined equality with men without neglecting female attributes. To this day hair has kept its importance as a symbol of power, youth, vitality and health.

      所有文化和歷史的過程中,頭髮一直都有它特別的意義。在西元前1500年的古埃及,(它)外表的樣子表示這個人在社會和政治上的地位。假髮在此扮演了一個重要的角色:它們被很藝術地製成而且經常被噴上金粉。
在西元前第8世紀,北歐羅馬文明以前的Celt人是留長髮。對一個男人而言是他力量的表現,對一個女人而言是她的生育能力。長髮是男人力量象徵的概念,甚至在聖經中Samson和Delilah的故事中都有提到。Samson是以色列人的一位領袖。他從來沒有剪過的長髮給了他超人的力量。知道這個秘密的人只有Delilah。然而,她為敵人做間諜並且背叛了他。有一天晚上,她剪掉了他的頭髮,也因而奪走了他的力量。
在古典西臘時代,捲髮不但是時髦,它也是表示對生命的態度。捲髮或環髮是改變、自由和享受生活的象徵。古西臘文對捲髮或環髮的意思是迷惑或引誘某一人。
頭髮也當作是反對的象徵。現今龐客族的抗議運動是用頭髮剪成怪誕的髮型和染成聳動的顏色,當作是對“中產階級傳統式生活方式”不贊同的象徵。在1960年代,一種不同形式的反對,在婦女髮型上也可以被看到。婦女的解放表現在短、直、簡單的髮型,這種髮型 - 沒有減損女性的特質 - 強調了和男人的平等。直到今日,頭髮繼續保持它當作是權力、年青、活力和健康象徵的重要性。

第44 至47 題為題組
Camille Mahlknecht, 9, has some big fun planned for this weekend. She and other residents of Agoura Hills, California, plan to pick up trash during their city’s annual cleanup. At the same time, Wissam Raed, 12, will be busy volunteering too. Thousands of miles away in Lebanon, Wissam plans to put on a play at an orphanage and bring potted plants to elderly people at a senior citizen center.
Some other children like Nathan White, 10, have personal reasons for volunteering. Nathan’s grandmother died of a heart attack. To help raise money for medical research, Nathan participated in Jump Rope for Heart. He and five other boys took turns jumping rope for two and half hours and collected more than US$1,200 in donations for the American Heart Association.
Millions of children around the globe lend a hand to their communities every year. Schools and parents also contribute to the rise in youth service. For example, many schools offer community service activities for students to join. Teachers either combine volunteer work with classroom lessons or make service work a requirement. Parents, on the other hand, encourage their kids to volunteer and do it with them.
Community service is particularly important in this recession time. As the need for monetary support and other aid has increased, many charitable organizations have experienced a significant drop in donations. Camille and other children who volunteer thousands of hours annually can fill in some of the gaps.
According to research, kids who start volunteering are twice as likely to continue doing good deeds when they are adults. So, grab a paintbrush, a trash bag, or whatever you need to help your community. You’ll love how you feel after helping others. Even dirty work can be lots of fun, if it’s for a good cause.

      Camille Mahlknecht,9歲,在這個週末,有一些很有趣的計劃。她和加州Agoura Hills市的一些居民計劃在他們城市年度清潔日去揀垃圾。在同一時間,Wissam Raed,12,也將忙於義工活動。在遠在千哩的Lebanon,Wissam計劃到一間孤兒院去演一齣戲和帶一些盆栽植物去給一家老人中心的老年人們。
另外有一些小孩,例如Nathan White,10歲,做義工活動是有個人的理由。Nathan的祖母死於突發性心臟病。為了給醫學研究募款,Nathan參加了為心臟跳繩的活動。他和其他5位小孩輪流跳了2個半小時,為美國心臟協會募到了1,200美元。
全球數以百萬計的小孩每年都為他們的社區伸出援手。學校和家長也為正在興起的青少年服務做出貢獻。例如,許多學校提供社區服務活動給學生來參加。老師不是將義工的工作融入教室的課程,就是將服務工作當做是一項必要的事情。在另一方面,父母鼓勵小孩志願去參加社區服務並和他們一起做。
在這個不景氣的時期,社區服務尤其特別地重要。當需要金錢的資助和其他的援助一直在增加,許多慈善機構卻經歷了捐款顯著地下降。Camille和其他小孩每年從事上千小時的義工可以彌補一些不足。
根據研究,小孩就開始參加義工活動,當他們長大成人時,繼續做好事是沒有參加人的二倍。因此,拿起一支畫筆,一個垃圾袋或任何東西去幫助你的社區。在協助別人後,你會喜歡你的感受。假如是行善的話,即使是骯髒的工作也可能會有許多的樂趣。

第48 至51 題為題組

    Downloading music over the Internet is pretty common among high school and college students. However, when students download and share copyrighted music without permission, they are violating the law.
A survey of young people’s music ownership has found that teenagers and college students have an average of more than 800 illegally copied songs each on their digital music players. Half of those surveyed share all the music on their hard drive, enabling others to copy hundreds of songs at any one time. Some students were found to have randomly linked their personal blogs to music sites, so as to allow free trial listening of copyrighted songs for blog visitors, or adopted some of the songs as the background music for their blogs. Such practices may be easy and free, but there are consequences.
Sandra Dowd, a student of Central Michigan University, was fined US$7,500 for downloading 501 files from LimeWire, a peer-to-peer file sharing program. Sandra claimed that she was unaware that her downloads were illegal until she was contacted by authorities. Similarly, Mike Lewinski paid US$4,000 to settle a lawsuit against him for copyright violation. Mike expressed shock and couldn’t believe that this was happening to him. “I just wanted to save some money and I always thought the threat was just a scare tactic.” “You know, everyone does it,” added Mike.
The RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), the organization that files lawsuits against illegal downloaders, states that suing students was by no means their first choice. Unfortunately, without the threat of consequences, students are just not changing their behavior. Education alone is not enough to stop the extraordinary growth of the illegal downloading practice.

48.

(A) They don’t think that they will be caught.

 

(B) They want their friends to know that they are smart.

 

(C) They think it is a good way to make some extra money.

 

(D) They are against copyright protection over Internet music.


49.

What does Mike mean by saying that “the threat was just a scare tactic”?

 

(A) One should not be afraid of threats.

 

(B) A lawsuit will result from the threat.

 

(C) It is unfair to scare people with a threat.

 

(D) No serious consequence will follow the threat.


50.

What is RIAA’s attitude towards students’ illegal downloading behavior?

 

(A) They believe that education will help greatly in protecting copyrights.

 

(B) They profit from the fines illegal downloaders pay for copyright violations.

  (C)

They like to sue students for downloading music illegally from the Internet.

 

(D)

They think that illegal downloading behavior needs tough measures to correct.

(C)

A Survey of Students’ Downloading Habits

 

(D)

Eliminate Illegal Music Download? Impossible!

      在網路上下載音樂,在高中生和大學生中是非常普遍的。然而,在沒有允許的情況下,當學生下載和分享有版權的音樂,他們就是觸犯了法律。
一項對年輕人音樂所有權的調查發現,青少年和大學生,在他們的數位音樂播放器裡,每個人平均有超過800首非法複製歌曲。有一半接受調查的人是將全部的音樂放在他們的硬碟裡,這使得其他人可以一次就複製到好幾百首歌曲。有一些學生是被發現在個人部落格隨便連結音樂網站 - 這樣就可以讓部落格訪客免費試聽有版權的歌曲 - 或是利用一些歌曲當作部落格的背景音樂。這樣的作法也許方便又免費,但會有後果。
Sandra Dowd,一位Central Michigan University的學生,在一個點對點的檔案分享程式LimeWire,下載了501個檔案因而被罰款7,500美金。Sandra聲稱,她是一直到被有關當局通知,她才知道她的下載是非法的。相似地,Mike Lewinski付了4000美金去擺平一件違反版權的官司。 Mike表示驚訝和他無法相信這件事會發生在他身上。“我只是想省些錢,一直以為這種警告威脅只是一個嚇唬人的策略。”Mike 又說“你知道,大家都這麼做的。”
美國錄製工業協會(RIAA;一個對非法下載者進行訴訟的組織)表示,控告學生絕對不是他們的第一選擇。可惜的事,沒有這些判例的威嚇,學生都不會改變他們的行為。單靠教育是不足以阻止這種不正常成長的非法下載行為。

48.

(A) 他們不認為他們會被抓到。

(B) 他們要他們的朋友知道他們很聰明。

  (C) 他們認為這是賺外快的好方式。

(D) 他們反對網路音樂的版權保護。

答:A


49.

Mike說“這種警告威脅只是一個嚇唬人的策略”是什麼意思?

  (A) 人不應該害怕警告威脅。 (B) 警告威脅會導致訴訟。
  (C) 用警告威脅來嚇人是不公平的。
 

(D) 警告威脅了之後不會有嚴重的後果。

答:D


50.

RIAA對於學生非法下載行為的態度是什麼?

  (A) 他們認為教育對於保護版權會很有幫助。
 

(B) 他們從非法下載版權者的罰金賺錢。

 

(C) 他們喜歡控告學生在網路上非法下載音樂。

 

(D) 他們認為非法下載行為需要嚴厲的措施去更正。

答:D

51.

這篇文章最好的標題是什麼?

 

(A) 侵犯版權者,小心!

(B) 如何在網路上得取免費音樂!

  (C) 學生下載習慣的調查

(D) 掃除非法音樂下載?不可能!

答:A

二、英文作文( 佔2 0 分)
說明︰1.依提示在「答案卷」上寫一篇英文作文。
2.文長至少120單詞(words)。

提示:如果你可以不用擔心“預算”,隨心所欲的度過一天,你會怎麼過?請寫一篇短文,第一段說明你會邀請誰和你一起度過這一天?為什麼?第二段描述你會去哪裡?做些什麼事?為什麼?

作文技巧:先看清題目一定要你寫出什麼?列出簡單的英文順序綱要,照著寫就可以了,例如:

第一段:-> 不用擔心“預算” 隨心所欲過一天
-> 邀請誰 
-> 為什麼?

第二段:-> 去哪裡? 
-> 做什麼?
-> 為什麼?

注意事項:由於題目是”假設性”的,所以許多地方要用”假設語氣”的寫法 (文法書p.119-122)

範例:
If I could live without worrying about budget for one day, I would share this special day with my family because I have a very close bond with them. We have always been there for each other and shared everything together.

      With my family, I would like to travel to every country in the world; however, the possibility of that in one day is impossible. Therefore, I would like to go to a five-star exotic beach resort overseas. On the beach, we could build sand castles, lie under the sun, go swimming, diving and water skiing. Furthermore, we could dine, dance, get a massage, and laugh in the resort. Experiencing these activities and spending quality time together would be a wonderful way to spend this day.

文法提示:
If I could live without worrying about budget for one day, I would share this special day with my family....
由於題目是”假設性”(沒有發生)的,所以本句是用”假設語氣” (文法書p.119-122)

翻譯和作文的建議:

1. 

許多人學英文只是硬背單字。事實上,一點用處都沒有,因為你不會真正懂得如何正確用這個字。

2.

要懂文法。例如前面的翻譯,事實上每一個字和片語你都認識,但是如何將它們組合成為一個句子,這就要看你的文法基礎了。

3.

閱卷老師評分的標準是什麼?主要就是看單字和文法有沒有運用錯誤,扣你的分才有根據。所以,只要你的單字和文法運用正確、內容還可以,就應該可以得滿分或高分。

4.

有鑑於此,我們在網站上成立了一個Make Sentence (Facebook造句專欄);文章是許多句子組合而成的,歡迎前往造句,打好你的文法基礎和正確的遣詞用字能力。

5.

不論中文或英文、應付考試的作文方法都是一樣的:想想、現在突然有人問你一個問題,你要如何回答?再把你想要說的,用文字把它寫出來就可以了。只要每一個句子都寫得正確,寫出來的文章一定優美通順。
