第一部分 閱讀理解（共兩節(jié)，滿分30分）

• 1．Last spring，I was fortunate to be chosen to join in an exchange study programme.The moment I arrived in Paris，I was greeted by a nice French couple who would become my host parents.The bit of French I had taken in high school began coming out of my mouth；speaking the language would only become more natural over the course of the term.At the airport，we all got into the couple's car and began the journey to their townhouse.We talked the whole way，getting to know one another.
     Every day afterwards，I would eat breakfast with the two of them，and then we'd all go our separate ways for the day.In the evening，my host mother would make delicious dinners for the three of us.My experience was exciting until I received some shocking news from my programme coordinator（協(xié)調(diào)人）：There had been a death in my host parents' family and they would have to be away for several weeks to deal with all the business that arose from the death.That afternoon，I had to move out of the family's house and into another.
     The coordinator told me I'd have a roommate and asked whether I would mind sharing a bedroom with an English speaker.To avoid speaking my native language，I asked not to be placed with an English-speaking roommate.When I got to my new room，I introduced myself to my new roommate Paolo，a Brazilian（巴西人），the same age as I，whom I was surprised to find playing one of my favourite CDs on his computer!In just a few hours，we knew we'd be good friends for the rest of the term.
     I left France with many stories，so when people ask me what my favourite part of the trip was，they always hear about my Brazilian friend Paolo and the weekdays in class，weeknights in the town，and weekends exploring France we enjoyed together.I would recommend an exchange programme to anyone who wants to experience foreign cultures and gain meaningful friendships.

• 2．For the past 18 years，Deng Xiaolan worked as a volunteer teacher in a village called Malan in Fuping，Hebei Province.Born in 1943，Deng was raised by local farmers until she was three.
     During Qingming Festival in 2003，Deng took part in an event in Malan in memory of martyrs（烈士）.When some local primary school students were organized to sing the national anthem（國(guó)歌） during the ceremony，Deng found that only one or two of them could sing the anthem.So she decided to teach the children music in the hope that they could leave the mountains and discover new things.When the villagers told her the children had no talent for music，Deng said they simply needed to start to learn.
     In 2004，Deng went to the village to teach the subject.When she founded the Malan Band in 2006，her friends in Beijing donated musical instruments to the village.Children in Malan had instruments they had never seen before.They were amazed at the sounds they produced.Deng taught them to sing and to play the violin and the piano.In 2006 the band was renamed Malan Flower
     Children's Chorus and two years later Deng brought them to perform in Beijing's Zhongshan Park--the first time the children had left the mountains.Over 18 years，Deng taught more than 200 children in Malan and nearby villages，with many of them going on to attend college.She donated nearly 500 musical instruments and some 1，000 books to Malan.
     Deng died on March 21，2022.Just some six weeks before her death，44 children from Malan and nearby villages sang the Olympic Anthem at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympic Games in the Bird's Nest in Beijing.It was Deng that helped bring these children deep in mountains onto such a big stage.
  
  （1）Why did Deng Xiaolan teach music to the children in Malan？

  
  A．To bring them to important ceremonies.
  B．To help them remember the local martyrs.

• 4．A few years ago，in one experiment in behavioural psychology，Stanley Milgram of Yale University tested 40 subjects for their willingness to obey instructions given by a "leader" in a situation in which the subjects might feel a personal dislike of the actions they were called upon to perform.Specifically，Milgram told each volunteer Teacher-subject" that the experiment was designed to test whether or not punishing pupils for their mistakes would have a positive effect on the pupil' ability to learn.
     The teacher-subjects were placed before a panel of thirty switches with labels ranging from "15 volts of electricity（slight shock）" to "450 volts（danger - severe shock）" in steps of 15 volts each.The teacher-subject was told that whenever the pupil gave the wrong answer to a question，a shock was to be administered.The supposed "pupil" was in reality an actor hired by Milgram to pretend to receive the shocks by giving out cries and screams.Milgram told the teacher-subject to ignore the reactions of the pupil，and to administer whatever level of shock was called for.
     As the experiment unfolded，the "pupil" would deliberately give the wrong answers to questions，thereby bringing on various electrical punishments，even up to the danger level of 300 volts beyond.Many of the teacher-subjects balled at administering the higher levels of punishment，and turned to Milgram.In these situations，Milgram calmly explained that the teacher-subject was to carry on with the experiment and that it was important for the sake of the experiment that the procedure be followed through to the end.What Milgram was trying to discover was the number of teacher-subjects who would be willing to administer the highest levels of shock，even in the face of strong personal and moral revulsion（反感）against the rules and conditions of the experiment.
     Before carrying out the experiment，Milgram explained his idea to a group of 39 psychiatrists and asked them to predict the average percentage of people who would be willing to administer the highest shock level of 450 volts.The overwhelming consensus was that basically all the teacher-subjects would refuse to obey the experimenter.The psychiatrists felt that "most subjects would not go beyond 150 volts" and only a small percentage of about one in 1，000 would give the highest shock of 450 volts.
     What were the actual results？Well，over 60 per cent of the teacher-subjects continued to obey Milgram up to the 450-volt limit!In repetitions of the experiment in other countries，the percentage was even higher，reaching 85 per cent in one country.How can we possibly account for this result？
     One might firstly argue that there must be some sort of built-in animal aggression instinct（本能）that was activated by the experiment.A modern sociobiologist might even go so far as to claim that this aggressive instinct was of survival value to our ancestors in their struggle against the hardships of life on the plains and in the caves，finally finding its way into our genetic make-up.
     Another explanation is to see the teacher-subjects' actions as a result of the social context in which the experiment was carried out.As Milgram himself pointed out，"Most subjects in the experiment see their behaviour in a larger context that is good and useful to society - the pursuit of scientific troth.The psychological laboratory has a strong claim to legitimacy（合法性）and gains trust and confidence in those who perform there.An action such as shocking a victim，which in isolation（單獨(dú)看來(lái)）appears evil，acquires a completely different meaning when placed in this setting".
     Here we have two different explanations.The problem for us is to sort out which of these two polar explanations is more reasonable.This is the problem of modern sociobiology - to discover how hard-wired genetic programming decides the interaction of animals and humans with their environment，that is，their behaviour.Put another way，sociobiology is concerned with explaining the biological basis of all behaviour.
  
  （1）Why did Milgram do the experiment？

  
  A．To discover people's willingness for orders from leaders.
  B．To display the power of punishment on ability to learn.
  C．To test people's willingness to sacrifice for science.
  D．To explore the biological basis of social behavior.
  （2）Which of the following is right about the experiment？

  
  A．The actor's performance was vital to its success.
  B．Its subjects were informed of its real purpose beforehand.
  C．The electrical shock made the "pupil" give more wrong answers.
  D．Its subjects were convinced of the effects of punishment on ability to learn.
  （3）What does the underlined phrase "balked at" most probably mean？

  
  A．commented on
  B．hesitated in
  C．got rid of
  D．looked down upon
  （4）Before the experiment too place the psychiatrists

  .
  A．believed that a shock of 150 volts was unbearable
  B．failed to agree on how the teacher-subjects would respond to instructions
  C．under-predicted the teacher-subjects' willingness to follow experimental procedure
  D．thought that many of the teacher-subjects would administer a shock of 450 volts
  （5）Which of the following is mentioned as one possible factor that explains the teacher-subjects' behaviour？

  
  A．Economic factor.
  B．Biological factor.
  C．Cultural factor.
  D．Historical factor.
  （6）What's the author's purpose with this article？

  
  A．To introduce a problem sociobiology deals with.
  B．To explain a scientific phenomenon.
  C．To report an experiment that focus on education.
  D．To argue against a scientific view.

• 5．The relationship between parents and a child is among the most important in a person's life.Of all the people in the world，parents are the only ones who are always there for us，no matter what happens.
     But why，is it that some teenagers act like their parents are the biggest enemies？（1）

  Once the journey to independence begins，the parents are going to be less acceptable than they used to be.
     （2）

  As kids，we learn almost everything about the world form them.But once we reach our teenage years，we begin to feel like we don't need their help any more.And at the same time，everything from the clothes they wear to the way they speak makes us feel embarrassed.
     However，it is our parents who brought us into the world.Naturally，they have been around a lot longer and they know many more things.（3）

  They just want to protect us from making the mistakes they have made.
     Remember that any parents' wish for their children to be safe and do well.（4）

  Moreover，while it might seem like all our parents do is to annoy and criticize（批評(píng)）us，we should listen to their words.（5）

  
  
  

  A.After all，our parents are our greatest teachers in life. B.So if our parents are always telling us what to do，there's a good reason for this. C.But any advice they give us is meant to protect and guide us. D.With this in mind，we should put ourselves in our parents' shoes. E.This is because teenagers are just trying to find their own identity. F.They refuse their parents in an attempt to create their own unique world. G.Indeed，we tend to think that we know better than our parents as we grow older.
