Most American kids love Halloween treats, but a bucket of Halloween candy can be a dentist’s nightmare. Some parents try to get rid of half of the candy after their children go to bed, but dentists say parents also need to separate the good kinds of treats from the bad.
It is not exactly what a child eats that truly matters, but how much time it stays in his mouth. According to pediatric dentist Dr. Kaneta Lott, the most damaging stuff is something that is sticky or very hard and thus stays in the mouth for a long time. This is because we all have bacteria in our mouths. When we eat, the bacteria take our food as their food and produce an acid that destroys the surface of the teeth, causing cavities to form. The longer the food stays in the mouth, the more likely cavities will develop. Therefore, potato chips are worse than candy because they get stuck between teeth. For the same reason, raisins and crackers are not the best choice. Hard candies take a long time to consume and are also a bad choice for Halloween treats.
If children really love candy, dentists recommend that they eat chocolate instead. Unlike hard candies, chocolate dissolves quickly in the mouth. Besides, chocolate contains tannins, which help to kill some of the bacteria in the mouth. But no matter what a child eats, brushing after each meal is still the best way to fight cavities.

41.

What is the main purpose of this passage?

 

(A) To discuss how cavities can be treated.

 

(B) To point out the problems with Halloween celebrations.

 

(C) To tell parents what sweets are less damaging to their children’s teeth.

 

(D) To teach parents the meaning of Halloween candies for their children.


42.

Why are hard candies especially bad for teeth?

  (A) They may break the child’s teeth.
 

(B) They contain too much sugar.

 

(C) They help bacteria to produce tannins.

 

(D) They stay in the mouth for a long time.


43.

According to the passage, which of the following is a better choice for Halloween treats?

 

(A) Chocolate.

(B) Crackers. (C) Raisins.  

(D) Potato chips.


44.

According to the passage, which of the following is true of tannins?

 

(A) They are produced when the bacteria digest the food.

 

(B) They help to get rid of some bacteria in the mouth.

 

(C) They help chocolate to dissolve more quickly.

 

(D) They destroy the surface of the teeth.

      許多美國小孩的都喜歡萬聖節的糖果禮物,但是一桶的萬聖節糖果可能是牙醫的惡夢。許多父母會在他們的小孩去睡覺後丟掉一半的糖果,但是牙醫說、父母也需要去從壞的糖果禮物中區分出好的來。(註:在美國萬聖節的時候,小孩子會去敲附近鄰居的門,然後說:Trick or treat! 要我們惡作劇還是你要請客!屋主就會拿一些糖果出來請客(treat)。這些請客的糖果就是Halloween treats)
小孩子吃什麼並不是真正的重要,而是它停留在他口中的時間有多久。依據小兒科牙醫
Dr. Kaneta Lott,最有害的是黏或硬的東西,因為會停留在口中較久。這是因為在我們的口中都有細菌。當我們吃東西的時候,細菌拿我們的食物當成它們的食物,而且製造一種會破壞牙齒表面造成蛀牙的酸。食物在口中停留的愈久,蛀牙就愈容易發展。因此,洋芋片比糖果更不好,因為它們會卡在牙齒之間。同樣的理由,葡萄乾和餅乾不是最好的選擇。硬糖果需要較長的時間來消耗,也是萬聖節糖果的壞選擇。
如果小孩子真正喜歡糖果,牙醫建議他們吃巧克力來替代。不像硬糖果,巧克力在口中很快地就會融解。另外,巧克力含有可以幫助殺死口中細菌的丹寧酸。但是,不論小孩如何吃,每餐之後刷牙仍然是抵擋蛀牙最好的方法。
41.

這一段文章的目的是什麼?

  (A) 討論蛀牙如何醫治?

(B) 指出慶祝萬聖節的問題。

 

(C) 告訴父母親那一種甜食較不會傷害小孩的牙齒。

 

(D) 教導父母親萬聖節糖果對小孩子們的意義。

答: C

42.

為什麼硬糖果特別對牙齒不好?

 
  (A) 它們可能會折斷小孩子們的牙齒。

(B) 它們有太多的糖。

  (C) 它們會幫助細菌製造單寧酸。

(D) 它們停留在嘴巴中較久。

答: D

43.

根據這段文章,下列何者是較好的萬聖節請客選擇?

 

(A) 巧克力

(B) 餅乾

(C) 葡萄干

(D) 洋芋片 答: A

44.

根據這段文章,下列有關單寧酸的敘述何者是真?

 

(A) 它們是當細菌消化食物時被製造出來的。

 

(B) 它們可以協助去除嘴巴中的一些細菌。

 

(C) 它們可以協助巧克力更快的融化。

 

(D) 它們可以摧毀牙齒的表面。

答: B

The largest television network in America is not ABC, CBS, or Fox. Nor is it one of the cable networks such as CNN, which carries only news and news stories. It is not ESPN, the all-sports cable network, or even MTV, which is famous for its music videos. Rather it is PBS, Public Broadcasting System, a non-profit public broadcasting TV service. PBS has 349 member television stations in the U.S. and some member stations by cable in Canada.   
PBS only attracts a minority of all TV viewers, about 2 percent. The industry leader, NBC, however, attracts 11 percent of viewers. But the growth of public television in the past two decades has been dramatic. This is especially noteworthy when one considers that public television stations must often survive on very limited budgets, on viewers’ donations, and on private foundations and some governmental funding.
The level of quality of PBS programs, whether in national and international news, entertainment, or education, is excellent. Almost a whole generation of children throughout the world is familiar with Sesame Street and the characters of The Muppet Show. PBS is especially well known for the quality of its many educational TV programs. Over 95 percent of all public television stations have tele-courses. These courses are accepted and supported by more than 1,800 colleges and universities throughout the US. Each year, over a quarter of a million students take courses this way.
45.

According to this article, PBS received part of its funding from      .

  (A) private organizations

(B) public schools

  (C) advertising agencies

(D) other television stations


46.

What is PBS most famous for?

 

(A) Cable services.

(B) Generous donations.

 

(C) Educational programs.

(D) Live news broadcasts.


47.

Which of the following is true about public television stations?

 

(A) The majority of their viewers are minority people.

 

(B) Ninety-five percent of their programs are tele-courses.

 

(C) They are shrinking in number because they make no profits.

 

(D) Their courses are accepted by many universities in America.


48.

Which of the following has the highest percentage of viewers?

 

(A) ABC

(B) PBS (C) NBC

(D) Fox

      在美國最大的電視網並不是ABC、CBS或 Fox。也不是有線電視,例如專門播放新聞或新聞事件的CNN。它不是全運動節目的有線電視ESPN、甚或音樂影片的MTV。它是PBS – 一個非營利的公共電視服務。PBS在美國有349個會員電視台和一些在加拿大的有線電視台。
PBS僅吸引了大約2%的少數電視觀眾。然而電視業的領導NBC就吸引了11%觀眾。但是過去20年來,公共電視的成長是令人注目的。特別值得一提的是公共電視台必須要靠非常有限的經費、觀眾的捐獻、私人基金和一些政府的資助才能生存。
PBS的節目水準,不論是國內或國際新聞、娛樂或教育都是非常好的。幾乎全世界一整個世代的兒童都很熟悉Sesame Street(芝麻街)和The Muppet Show(布偶劇)中的人物。PBS尤其聞名的是它許多教育電視節目的品質。超過95%的所有公共電視台都有電視課程。這些課程全美國有超過1800所大學院校的承認和支持。每年有超過25萬學生以這個方式來進修課程。

45.

根據這篇文章,PBS 的部分經費來自於       .

  (A) 私人機構

(B) 公立學校

  (C) 廣告代理商

(D) 其他電視台

答: A

46.

PBS 最有名的是什麼?

  有限電視服務

(B) 慷慨的捐贈

  教育節目

(D) 即時新聞

答: C

47.

(C) 因為沒有利潤,它們的數據正在減少

 

(D) 它們的電視教學課程被許多的美國大學承認

答: D

下列那一個的收視率最高?

 

(A) ABC

(B) PBS

(C) NBC

(D) Fox 答: C

Last week Jay McCarroll and The HSUS (The Humane Society of the United States) made a bold fur-free statement on the runway, marking a new chapter for the fashion industry and animal protection. The encouraging response to McCarroll’s show confirmed that change is happening in fashion.
McCarroll has good reasons for rejecting fur. Each year, tens of millions of animals, including dogs and cats, needlessly suffer and die to fuel the fur industry. But what did Jay McCarroll use in place of fur? “I have patchwork pieces that contain all sorts of combinations of fabrics. The rest is cotton, nylon, polyester...you name it. I even have some stuff made out of bamboo/cotton blend. Anything but fur and leather,” he told Fashion Wire Daily.   
“So many people want to protect animals and live their lives without causing unnecessary cruelty. More than two thirds of Americans have pets, and we share a bond with animals every day. Saying no to fur can help millions of animals, and we want to show our respect to leading designers like Jay who embrace compassion as the fashion,” said Michael Markarian, executive vice president of The HSUS. “It is great to see leaders in the fashion industry recognizing that the animals need their fur more than we do.”

49.

Which of the following is true about Jay McCarroll?

 

(A) He is a famous fashion designer.

      上星期Jay McCarroll和美國人道社會在伸展舞台上宣布了一項大膽的無獸皮毛聲明,為時尚產業和動物保護展開了新的一頁。對於Jay McCarroll表演的鼓舞回響證實了時尚正在改變中。
McCarroll有很好的理由來拒絕皮毛。每一年,有數千萬的動物,包括狗、貓毫無必要的遭收痛苦死亡來挹注這個皮毛產業。但是McCarroll用什麼來代替皮毛呢?他告訴Fashion Wire Daily (一家位於紐約的時尚媒體公司):”我有含有各種布料組合的拼湊布塊。其他的就是棉花、尼龍、聚酯…你想的到的都有。我甚至有竹和棉的混合物所製成的東西。除了毛和皮之外的任何東西。”
“許多人都想要保護動物和他們的生命不要造成無謂的殘忍。超過三分之二的美國人有寵物,而且我們每天和動物們共享著聯繫。對皮毛說不,可以幫助數百萬的動物,而且我們要對領導的設計家表示敬意,例如Jay,他以擁抱憐憫為時尚。” HSUS公司執行副總裁Michael Markarian說 ”很高興看到,時尚產業的領導者認為動物比我們更需要它們的皮毛。”

53-56 為題組
Twenty years ago, most experts believed that differences in how boys and girls behaved were mainly due to differences in how they were treated by their parents, teachers, and friends. It’s hard to cling to that belief today. Recent research has shown that there are biological differences between boys and girls. Understanding these differences is important in raising and educating children.   
For example, girls are born with more sensitive hearing than boys, and the difference increases as kids grow up. So when a grown man speaks to a girl in what he thinks is a normal voice, she may hear it as yelling. Conversely, boys who appear to be inattentive in class may just be sitting too far away to hear the teacher.
Likewise, girls are better in their expression of feelings. Studies reveal that negative emotions are seated in an area of the brain called the amygdala. Girls develop an early connection between this area and the cerebral cortex, enabling them to talk about their feelings. In boys these links develop later. So if you ask a troubled adolescent boy to tell you what his feelings are, he often cannot say much.
Dr. Sax, a proponent of single-sex education, points out that keeping boys and girls separate in the classroom has yielded striking educational, social, and interpersonal benefits. Therefore, parents and teachers should try to recognize, understand, and make use of the biological differences that make a girl a girl, and a boy a boy.

Why do girls express negative feelings better than boys?

 

(A) Girls are more emotional than boys.  

 

(B) Girls have more brain cells than boys.

 

(C) The amygdala is located in different areas of the brain for boys and girls.

The links between certain parts of the brain develop earlier in girls than in boys.

      二十年前,大多數的專家相信男生和女生的差異主要是由於他們被父母、老師和朋友的對待差異。現今很難再抱守著這個說法。近來的研究顯示,男生和女生有生物上的差異。了解這些差異對養育和教育小孩很重要。
例如,女生生來的聽力較男生敏感,而且隨著成長而加強。所以當一個成年男人自以為是正常的聲音對一位女人說話,她也許會認為是吼叫。相反地,男生也許會坐得很遠來聽老師課、看起來是不專心的樣子。
同樣地,女生感情表達得比較好。研究顯示,負面的情緒是位於腦中被稱為是扁桃腺的區域。女生較早發展這個區域和大腦皮層之間的連結,以便她們去談論她們的感情。男生較晚發展。所以,如果你問一位有煩惱的青少年去告訴你有關他的感受,他通常無法說的出來。

      一位單性教育的擁護者,Sax博士指出,將男生和女生在教室中分開會產生驚人的教育、社交和人際的好處。因此,父母和老師應該認知、了解並且利用生物上的差異來造就女生就是女生、男生就是男生。

範例:  

         It was a sunny day. Amy was playing with her cat in the park. When she was walking home, some cats followed her. Amy really loved cats so she asked her mom if she could keep those cats. Reluctantly, mom said ok and went back to the kitchen to prepare for dinner. Amy went upstairs to her room to do her homework. The cats were left in the living room.

         After finishing her homework, Amy went downstairs and found a mess. The cats scratched the sofa, knocked over the lamp, stained the floor, and even killed her favorite goldfish. Though she loved kitties, she was angry. She ordered the cats to stop, but they didn’t listened. They continued to make a mess and Amy didn’t know what to do.

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。
